Is in normal for a friend of an opposite sex to constantly be in touch with you via social media through the day (like 12 hours on and off contact through the day, every day)?

I don't considerate normal for a person to even use social media that much, let alone to maintain contact with a single person using it.

Depends on the friendship legnth.

So I'm really fucking praying for this job. I need some tips on a follow up email I should send tomorrow.
Context: its an entry level market research analyst job in a moderately sized city. I live about 30 minutes out and I'm already used to the commute. I only have a year work experience immediately after graduation, in min.wage jobs, but my time in uni makes up for the research intensive aspect
I sent in my resume and message of intent on monday. Tomorrow is a full week so I want to send a follow up email. It was by email-only so I'm not sure I should call. The email goes directly to who I assume is the hiring manager. She responded hours after I sent the initial email so I know there is a real-live person on the other end.
Any tips on what I should say? How long it should be? I really really really want this fucking job so any advice on making myself seem more attractive would be phenomenal

Calm down. A week actually isn't that long in the HR world. Send a follow up email next week Monday.
Hiring Manager's Name,
This is My Name. I am writing you to inquire on the status of my application for Job, sent 11/8. I am quite interested in this position, and I thank you for your consideration.
Thank you for your time,
Your Name

What kinds of things should I do for the third "date" with a girl off ok cupid? Preferably something that would have a higher chance of getting me laid. I can tell she likes me a lot, but I just get a little nervous around her so I haven't made a big move. Also the girl is a light skinned black girl is that matters

You need to take her somewhere where you can impress her and she can have fun, and then a half-assed reason why she should come back to your place.

Where the fuck do people meet women?
>be me
>20 yo kv
>fit, dress decently, look decent
>good social skills, able to carry on a conversation
>have clear goals in life I'm working toward
>have money, my own apartment, going to school
>talk to qt girls frequently in class but it never goes anywhere
My only problem is I don't know what the fuck to do to get out of my house. I've spent my life as a loner. I don't get invited to any parties. The few friends I do have never introduce me to girls or bring any around. The clubs I'm interested in joining are sausage fests. I just go to class, try to talk to some girls if possible, then get super depressed as I walk home in the stupid November 6pm pitch black darkness and spend 12 hours trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I can't get enjoyment out of Netflix or shitposting or videogames anymore because I know I should be fucking a girl at my age but I don't know where the fuck to go or what the fuck to do.
/adv/ where do I go to meet a qt gf?

Wow, you're basically me except I'm 21 and not a virgin. I guess I'll just check and and we can try to work together.
First off, do you live near a big city or are you more rural? This is important.

>good social skills
>I've spent my life as a loner
nice contradiction.

Internet. You can meet women on the internet, and discuss where to go on a date. That's why I'm engaged now. Hooray.

Coworker is on vacation, texted me (we're pretty friendly, have hung out before.) He texted asking how I was doing, and i didn't respond. I didn't because I was studying, then I woke up the next day went to a doctor's appointment, then straight to an out of class test, then I was late to me my brother at our new apartment.
He sent me "You know what I hate? When you know people always have their phone on them and they ignore your texts."
I sometimes don't respond to texts because I'm fucking busy. I work full-time plus overtime, I take a class, and I have spent the last 8 months taking care of my mentally insane abusive mother, and I'm finally moving away. I get like, 4 hours of sleep a night. I don't eat enough, I'm constantly stressed. Sometimes I just don't have time to fucking text back sometimes.
How do I respond? I'm 24, and have a 35-40 year old man acting like a teenage girl.
Also I don't mean to stereotype, but yes he's a homosexual.

Instead of venting to adv about it, why don't you tell him to fuck off and say you're busy ayyyyy
>>
>>16466285
It depends on what outcome you want.
Do you want to stay friends and keep hanging out or do you not mind the chance that you might hurt your friendship?
>>
>>16466302
If he wasn't my coworker I would tell him to fuck off and quit being a bitch. He is really nice to me and I like him, I want to stay friendly but this isn't a crucial friendship I'm desperately trying to preserve.

Twelve weeks into one of my classes, professor decides he's going to fail me for attendance reasons. I've missed maybe 6-7 classes, but currently have an 85% B. He pretty much teaches straight from the book, which is evident in the fact that I've managed to maintain a respectable grade without showing up. Why does he think his lectures are so fucking important?!
Really not trying to retake this class...

Lol you signed up for it. Either attend the class or drop it. It's not stupid that your professor is failing you for a lack of attendance, you're being stupid by not showing up when it was clearly established that attendance is mandatory.
>>
If attendance is in the syllabus you're fucked
if it isn't and you're passing the class without attending class you're managing time ideally. Go make an appointment with a counselor and explain the situation non-emotionally and rationally.

Yeah, the professor sure is the dumb one here. Enjoy your mediocre life if this is the level of responsibility you show already.

Just be yourself, no one should ever judge you for being yourself. I am an obese person, but I am being myself, so no one should judge me because I am being myself. I am single, but I am being myself, so no one should judge me because I am being myself. I am awkward and have a bad appearance, but I am being myself, so no one should judge me because I am being myself. I do not want to wear a suit to my job as I am being myself, myself wants to just wear boxers and a shirt to the job. I am just being myself. People always tell me to just be myself and everything will be fine. For my entire life I have always told myself that I am myself, that I am being myself, so it is all okay and that no one should judge me because I am being myself. Just be yourself, but now I am beginning to wonder how true that is. It does not matter that I have all of these flaws because I am myself.

1. accept the things you can't change
2. work on the things you can change
3. stop taking pointless shit so seriously. "just be yourself" is just one of those meaningless things people say.

I don't really understand what advice you're asking for, or what you're asking in general.

I agree? For the most part, people are who they choose to be, and if what they are is bad, they ought to change it?

Hey /adv/, 19 year old college drop out here. Diagnosed Bipolar. No money, moving with a big family to a small apartment somewhere in NY soon. Not a good situation.
Painting keeps me sane. Makes me feel okay. Keeps me away from drugs. Lets me escape. Thing is I need a place to live, food on the table. Can't hold a job, psychiatrists haven't been working with insurance company and pharmacy to help me get medication. They've prescribed it, then dodge each other during the bureaucratic process. I should have gotten Latuda weeks ago.
Anyway, currently in Northern NJ, no idea what I can do to sell my work. Tried Patreon, people only seem to be interested in stylized cartoons and quick gimmicks. Tried a local art show (there was one and it rarely happens) but it wasn't an actual art show, ended up being a family event kind of thing with a tiny wall of "art", would have been lucky to sell for $20.
What do I even do? I don't want or need emotional support from family (they wouldn't give it, father doesn't believe in mental illness, mother pretends to believe in it but cares more about social status and what people say), no friends, its just me.
Pic related, piece I finished yesterday. Am I just destined for an eventual suicide?

Try Etsy.
Show your work on Deviantart or any other art platform.
>>
>>16466198
Will do.
What can I do for in person stuff?
>>
>>16466220
Talk with local galleries about having a show. Price things beforehand and stick with your prices. If you don't want to sell your art for 20$ when you have it priced for 100$ DONT. Dont undervalue your work because you think it wont sell.
My city has a "first friday" where galleries are open later to showcase local artists, I think most major cities have these. Google it and search for places local to you, go ask the business owners in person if you can have a showing on the next available slot.

I think I want to start smoking. Would it be safer to start with e-cigarettes, or is it as bad as tobacco? Should I take up the hobby at all?

e-cigs are safer, but the habit becomes expensive either way
>>
>>16466143
E-cigs have been proven to be worse.
I'm not going to even bother linking the studies because it's apparent you're so fucking lazy you can't even do a fucking google search for peer reviewed articles.
The safest form of smoking is vaping, despite the rep you'll get from doing it.

I'm so fed up with my girlfriend smoking, it makes my blood boil, especially at social events. Especially when she tells our daughter "Go be drug free", and I'm just like "Holy shit, are you serious right now?". What do I do, besides leaving, to make her stop? Give me something guys, anything. :/

did she start smoking before or after you got into the relationship? because if it's before you pretty much fucked up right there

Get over it or break up. Just like you can't make someone lose weight, you'll never win the fight against cigarettes.

Either recognize the lack of personal impact or, if you were personally impacted, concentrate more on those affected and not on the perpetrators.

I need someone to talk to /adv/. I'm tired of feeling alone and worthless. I'm not a virgin, i'm not socially awkward, and I think i'm somewhat decently attractive. I've had sex with well over 20 girls but at the same time that doesn't really mean anything to me. I wan't someone who I can just vibe with and connect with mentally. Every time I like a girl it just falls through and goes nowhere. I can provide pics if people want to see more

Actually I'm in the same boat as well. I'm in a relationship right now that I know isn't going to end up anywhere but I'm too content with it to end it.
