I have a date /lit/. Recommend me some cute books about love without all of the annoying fatalism. Is Jakob von Gunten a good idea? It isn't about love but seems to hit that nostalgic idealism that I crave right now.
Waaay to early to be thinking about love. I feel for you OP, I was as naive as you once. If you must read something, go with something that will encourage your own manliness and self-reliance. That could actually help make you more attractive to a girl, whereas filling your head with ideas of romance and ideal love will just make you more beta. Hemingway perhaps, or Cormac McCarthy come to mind.

dude she asked me out. I'm thinking more along the lines of Rilke or Shakespeare's sonnets.

I hope you're keeping this idealism exclusively in the realm of fiction and not projecting it onto potential partners irl, because that won't end very well for you.

I'm clinically depressed and have had an oneitis for months. I'm not a fool. But I want to remind myself of the good parts of life and love.

You need to balance having emotional intelligence with a hardened exterior. These sloots don't care about your feelings, lad. They care more about testing you than they ever do talking to you. Whether they want to admit it to themselves or not. You better keep that guard up from now on. Don't give any girl the time of day until you're sure that you've found a really good thing. And even then you should proceed slowly.
