I could have done that for you, but if I did that then I wouldn't have actually helped you in any way. /adv/ is for helping people.

It cuts the call off. You use it when you finish one call and want to make another right away without putting the reciever back in the cradle.

I've used a phone like that before but I've never seen a button like that above the rotary plate.

You didn't help yet. I still can't find any explanation for that button.

You buy that son of a bitch a beer and welcome him as your new son.

Honestly, you're 29, you're still young but half the single women out there are going to either have kids or be divorced. If it bothers you don't settle, but it's your choice to make.

>>16566129
Do you mind that she has a kid? If not, do nothing. If so, talk to her about your concerns. Seriously, the answer to half of these relationship threads is "Talk to each other".

>>16566129
With your penis

No, because #thatsmyfetish.

>>16566101
If anyone on 4chan knew a girl who would give them sex whenever they wanted it, they wouldn't be on 4chan.

>>16566101

No, but it's a problem when they want to send me nudes 24/7. I've got a job and friends I enjoy being out in public with, last thing I want is to open my phone to respond to a text and my friends seeing my girlfriend's tits without warning.

One with replacable blades.

Safety razor. I'll never go back to cartridges.

>I don't think they're cutting it anymore

Nice.

You're not a nice person if you're actively trying to harm someone. Don't kid yourself.

Lmao. Get other people to fuck with them. Then drive them to suicide :V

>>16566030
Wow you're a huge faggot! Just kill yourself instead :)

>>16566024

depends on your definition of nothing. literally nothing? probably not.

true story here, some changes made to protect the innocent (me)

>be me
>have zilch
>want to move to la and become a filmmaker
>Get accepted to la film school
>mom gives me 1500 bucks
>get a friend who works at the airport to get me a free ticket (its a thing they can do if a flight isnt booked, so i flew out on 9/11)
>stay with gay guy i knew online who lives there that wanted to bang me
>eventually found my own place for 575 a month, first and last up front
>enough left over for food, beverages, and bus pass etc. until my financial aid for school came in

alternatively, you can skip the school part and just use the first month to find yourself a job, though it can be tough. generally speaking you can find out what are the 'easy hires' in each city.

here in la, its the donor services group. 10 bucks an hour to try and raise money over the phone. they have you in monday through friday claiming 8 hours a day, but if you do a bad job (which everyone does, its telefundraising) they send you home early

you usually get fired before the end of the month so they dont have to give you benefits. but its a GREAT way to get some easy money when you first get there and you can keep applying in your spare time.

having friends in the city helps, all the jobs i got here the first few years were recommended to me by friends.

>>16566038
Well that doesn't sound too bad. How long ago was this?

Why does everyone tell me if I go to LA I'll live under a bridge. Are they clueless hicks?

>>16566047

idk man. my boss tells me im spritually 'superior' to other people so being homeless isnt a possible part of my existence.

but if you dont believe that sort of thing ive always been quite a bit 'lucky' in life. some people might come here and fail. i came here and somehow ended up managing an office for a psychic.

it helped that i was a flaming fucking faggot so was able to meet other faggots online before moving out here and they were willing to let me stay til i was situated.

this was back in 2010 though. but not everyone here lives under a bridge so...

tampons.

>>16566019
He is a man

Does he exercise? Get him something that'll get him pumped.

Or tampons.

"I'm breaking up with you"

>>16565863
"It should have been me op, I let him drive sober. Friends don't let armadillos own speed boats"

>>16565863

try not to say much at all. when shes sad, hug her. put an arm around her. kiss her on the cheek instead of on the lips, bitches love cheek kisses. reminds them that you care. instead of trying to coddle her, hype her up. when shes sad about it, talks about it, and waits for you to say something, just hug her and say 'you're so strong. i wish i could be as strong as you are' even if shes sobbing like a 3 year old.

outside of that, try to cook her meals, general take care of her, rub her back, etc.

>>16565796
What's the problem with your father?
How do you plan on breaking it on the phone and then close the account afterwards?

>>16565796

Do you have any friends or other family to temporarily live with for the time being. I'd tell someone else in your family that you trust, maybe they can help you and give you advice. I wouldn't even dare consider moving out until you have a job, last thing you need is to be swallowed by unemployment woes and debt.

Start off by applying for jobs and get yourself out there, start your own bank account too for your own funds.

Living with your dad is really that bad?

>>16565796
>I need to tell him i'm not gonna support him anymore

>I still need to find a job, it's stupid to think about moving out before but I can't take it anymore,
> Fuck I don't even know how the renting contracts works.

sounds more like your father is supporting your useless ass

>>16565788
Honestly. Do you *really* believe he will try to have an honest relationship with you? Or are you just another number, so for the next virgin he encounters he has taken 3 virgins before.

>>16565788

Sex is overrated, but if it means that much to you and you can't look past it, don't date him. He sounds like a normal healthy 23 year old, if you look at it he's had sex with one girl a year since he was 16 (plus one extra).

Sex isn't everything, there's more to a person than just their body. When you lose your virginity, it's not some magical experience where you fall in love and all is ok with the world. Look for a christian man or someone who values their virginity as much as you do if that's really a deal breaker for you, in my opinion thought it's no better than shooting yourself in the knee.

Maybe you shouldn't be with people whose past makes you nauseous.

You might change your mind one day, but the time for reconsideration is while OUTSIDE of a relationship. Or you might never change your mind, which makes it all the more valid to start here.

>special to me
Look, it's not anyone's job to make you feel special. That's your own feeling and your own responsibility. Starting to demand that people feel a certain way about you is ridiculously insecure. You cannot mandate how people feel. Just think about how unreasonable it would be for someone to dictate how special they needed to be in your life. "Oh you kissed another boy? THEN OUR KISSES AREN'T SPECIAL. YOU RUINED EVERYTHING."

Throw away the special bullshit. Focus on whether this is what makes you happy. Happy matters. Special is garbage.

that's my income for six months work

>>16565726
>I make enough money to afford it but not easily.
Then yes, it is too much. You spend within your means, no matter what she buys you.

>but not easily
Then it's too much. Presents should derive from disposable income, not via budgeting adjustments to other aspects of your life.

Now it might be the case that your budgeting sucks. But that's a reason to sit down with a spreadsheet and sort it out. Maybe you can change the "not easily." As it stands right now, however, it sounds like you're going too far.

Maybe you're a secret creepy asshole?

you've got that dead inside creepy look

You need to be a man and quit waiting for girls to approach you.

So she met some new guys too, has been speaking to them to obviously feel better about herself/ perhaps move on?.. Anyway since then she was a bit off to me. We still went for coffee and so on. Hugged for long, no kissing or anything and i was always the one to say i love you first. She kept on distancing herself from me, we still saw and spoke to each other often but it wasnt the same. Understandably though, because she was still hurt.

So now we are all on holiday, i wont see her for 2 months. She left a few days earlier than me. One night i saw her friend out. Her friend asked me about the situation. I told her i want to get back with her, her friend said she supported me because she had once broken up with her boyfriend and realised she had made a mistake. They got back together and have been dating for 3 years. She also asked me about the girl that i kissed and asked if i had done anything else. I told her the whole story and she said that i should tell my ex, because she heard the story from the friend that saw. So I'm guessing my ex assumed i slept with this girl. So now it was pretty hard to tell my ex in person about it as i wouldnt see her for 2 months.

We were still chatting over whatsapp every now and then, but then i decided fuck it, I'm going to tell her. Like i didnt know what she was thinking. I didnt want her to think that i slept with this girl, which i didnt. So i told her. She read the message and has ignored me for the past week. I just dont know what to do, like she knew about it beforehand and she was fine. I know she knew about it, she just never mentioned anything about it. I just dont know what to do.

My girlfirend and I are very confident but really A LOT of times we have misunderstsndings and arguing for things we are making a wrong idea of. I suggest you as soon as you can hsve some cofee with her or somtheing or at your house, and talk about it, tell her the things from the start and explain her. Never hide how you feel because it is very importsnt for her knowing how you felt all this time. Takr your time to explain her well. In person.

right now, stop what you are doing and take a deep breath. close your eyes and just breathe deeply for thirty seconds. think about penguins, or cats, or dogs, or something fun.

then think about the last time you had a cold and you couldnt breath and it was frustrating and stressful both in the moment and with thoughts of the future. sucked right?

now breathe some more and think about how great that is. focus on the breathing.

congrats, thats the first step. the best way to stop thinking about things you worry about is literally to STOP. you can condition your brain to do it.

now open your phone, go to the calendar right now, and schedule two events per day at random times, and set your phone to vibrate. now twice a day for the next week your phone will vibrate. when it does, you stop whatever you are doing, and just savor the moment. if you are eating, just focus on the flavor. think of how good it is. listening to music? think of how emotional and nice the song is. watching TV? enjoy the show. too edgy to think any of those things are worth savoring? then always savor the fact that you can breath.

this conditions your brain to interpret these normal daily events as REALLY positive experiences. in time you will become one of those guys who seems way too excited about all this ordinary daily stuff. people will hate you because they arent as happy as you are.

the second thing this does is teaches your brain to randomly stop worrying and focus on the now. most of your worrying and stress is about the future, not the now. so focusing on whats happening in reality around you is great.

cures depression and your worrying. dont say 'ill consider that' or 'ill copy paste this and do it later' open your phone RIGHT NOW and do it otherwise you never will. a week from now when your events run out, do it again, right as the last notification pops up.

other great things to do
>enjoy a cold beer while sitting in a hot shower
>take at least 1/2 hour a day to either read a fantasy novel, or play an old school video game, something silly and fun and easy (Avoid grimdark things with high difficulty as they will only stress you more)
>go for a walk, at least ten minutes, every day, preferrably at night, to get you out of your house. think about animals when you do this, or some other non-life related topic

whatever you do, you will always find something to worry about. just like those people who are bothered by everything, and no matter how they "improve" themselves, they still get bothered by something.

im like you mostly, especially in difficult periods.

i guess both you and i have some deeper issue we need to work on.

MDMA and ecstasy are lame as fuck. Have fun acting like a euphoric dumbass for a few hours and then feeling like your body took a dump on you the next day. People that want to do these drugs have never been around people that are on these drugs. You will be one of the most irritating people around.

>>16565549
