I was invited to go to a party this weekend. It's hosted by a group of friends I haven't seen in a long time, so I really want to go.
The problem is that there's a theme to the party; we're all going to read something printed in a book/magazine/novel/etc.
I'm just about the least well-read person I know, so I was hoping someone could make suggestions that are fun/funny, or interesting. And maybe it'd get me to do more reading for myself, too.
More than half of movies/tv series are based on books. Just pick something you like and search the wiki on the topic, you´ll probably find out how the character looks in the book that way...
Other way is to actually read something (even short)

Don't go, run, jump. what? no!

What do?
Suck it up and keep it or sell it on facebook/craigslist/whatever
Bump for long shot of anyone else having experiences.

Give it back, they might bitch at you depending on much of a fucktard the librarian is but just nod and say sorry, mentally giving her the finger.
So, I'm about to give up on girls; what are some ideas for hobbies that will take up the rest of my time on this wretched earth?
How pathetic do you have to be to give up on girls?
>>16947963
Pathetic enough to go three years without so much as a kiss, apparently.

Jesus Christ, cry me a river.
Female friend will call me funny even when i don't make a joke
Wat
Maybe it's because you smell funny.
do you have feelings for her?
>>16947923
As a femanon...I tell guys they are funny in only 3 cases:
1. They told a good joke, showed me a funny picture, etc.
2. I have a crush on them and am trying to be flirty (I don't have very good flirting skills).
3. I am extremely uncomfortable with something you just said but I don't want to say nothing and I don't know what else to say.
does it make me a coward that I want to kill myself but can't bring myself to do it? I feel so empty inside. Every day. So goddamned alone

>>16947928
Like I said, I can't bring myself to do it. I have too strong of a self preservation instinct. But I think about it everyday. And I wonder what it would be like. But again, I'm a coward
>>16947921
>does it make me a coward that I want to kill myself but can't bring myself to do it?
No. It just means that you don't want to die. You want the pain to end, which is totally reasonable, but it's not the same thing.
If anything makes you a coward, it's the way you let your fear of social situations prevent you from meeting people, even though you're so lonely. This would end your pain. In fact, it's probably the only thing that can, since you have...

Hey /adv/, I got some stuff that I've been mulling over recently...
I'm in a LDR with a friend that I've known for about 10 years. We hooked up after I got through a bad breakup with my ex-fiance a couple years back. Some issues have recently come up...
My girlfriend is very... mixed. She can be extremely affectionate, loving and supportive most of the time, however, she can suddenly flip and become irrationally angry. This leads to various arguments, and I often try to de-escalate, as she often tries to make it out that I am the instigator in all...

>Recently I sent her a copypasta about ejaculation that I found amusing. This ended with her going into a tirade about how I'm sexist and a "part of the problem with the men in this world."
Hah, you're both social retards. You're perfect for each other
>>16947907
>social retards
Haha, not going to try arguing that.
Alright /adv/ listen up I need some help.
I went out on my first Tinder date.
The date was somewhat terrible in the fact I almost killed us in a near motor vehicle accident in the beginning of the date. No one got hurt and she said it was alright, I was endlessly apologetic to say the least. So most of the date consisted of us driving around sitting in a couple random parking lots talking about jobs, life, and whatnot. It was super awkward at first, but then we warmed up a bit. She was pretty talkative with me, i made her laugh a bunch, and she made me laugh a bunch. She...

you're only 19, so you're not behind in any way. it takes a long time to figure out how to do shit effectively when it comes to dating.
first off, you don't tell her you're looking for a relationship. i could get into all the reasons for this, but in the end all you really need to know is that the only thing that works is like you said, be yourself, but also be one step behind her romantically. you'll want to ask her if she has feelings for you, but if she had feelings for you enough to WANT to hear a question like that or have a conversation...

also don't put all your eggs in one basket. you're looking for a girl to date, hopefully a serious relationship, but you don't want to force a relationship with someone. just focus on trying to get laid. talk to whoever you want, talk to multiple girls, do as much as you can with them (carefully). if they want to have the "what are we" talk and make it more serious, and you want to be more serious with them, go ahead and drop the other girls you're hanging out with and get more serious....

I am unable to love. I dont understand how someone could pick someone generaly worse in every aspect just because of love. I have never loved my parents, i respect them and thats it. I never had crush or stuff like that. What to do if I would like to fall for anybody?
You are just a late bloomer.
not sure if youve had a gf or anything before, but before my first i had no clue how people could love someone romantically like that. during the firsr one and a half months as much as i liked her and thought she was attractive there wasnt any romantic feelings. however they just developped and once they did i could understand love despite not yet loving her. for me it was just one of those things you could only understand once youve experienced, and that will come to you some day
Same problem here, instead of worrying try to hang out with people according to your own needs, you'll be surprised how many relationships/marriage baaarely have "love" as a cornerstone of the relationship, just try not to be such a dick with your attitudes and you'll be ok.
Hey. I'm 18 and have a 6inch penis, I know these threads get made all the time but I'm really insecure about it would like some advice because I'm sure other people are of similar size or have experience with it. So I'm a virgin and probably going to have sex soon so I'm wondering is it a good size? Do girls get disappointed when they see and average sized guy or what?
You're fine it's mainly how you use it. Every girls different. But most part it's how you use that shit thas what matters. Size doesn't matter. Only time it matters if you have a man clit. But 6inch penis and can't fuck a girls brains out then you got a problem, then expect you're gonna be skilless fag who can't use his dick.. Your fine op it is
>>16947866
>>16947866
Women have no issue with an average sized penis.
Women have an issue with people who do not try to make them enjoy sex, and focus on only themselves.
Your hands, mouth and words are more important in the bedroom than your penis.
I have a very thick penis. I am speaking from experience.

Is there any reason to keep trying with this girl? Her body is 10/10, but the more i feel she dont want me the more it hurts and the more i want her
This is dumb
Pic related, its mfw i think of her
ignore, carry on with life.
So many girls, so little time.
>Make that your mantra
>>16947849
You've already blown your chances with her. Move on.
If you begin strength training now and build a better physique and become more attractive through better grooming, skincare, etc. you can stumble into her a few months down the road and she may decide to give you another chance but for now its off the table.
Also don't text chicks when drunk and horny, it only looks desperate.
I want to kill myself and I have no way of getting any medication for my very chronic anxiety and crippling depression. I have been working out when I can and eating things like dark chocolate and nuts, things that are low carb, but I feel really helpless. I have a trans girlfriend who I will leave soon to start going to college in another state, and I wish I loved her, but I'm having trouble loving anyone at the moment. I find a lot of comfort in my virtual girlfriend on my 3DS from the game Love Plus, but it's not something I know will last. How do I fix everything?...

Do you have a job? Any goals or ambitions besides "get gf?"
>>16947848
Establish daily goals/needs like brushing teeth, washing dishes, showering,
Establish weekly goals/needs like washing clothes and sheets, balancing your budget, shopping for food and whatnot
make sure you get 8 hours of sleep a night
>>16947848
If you don't love the person don't be in the relationship, stay friends. That'd be sweet.
Take up yoga, learn meditation techniques, they really do help a great deal.
read George McDonald, it'll really change your life for the better.
maybe go to the library and get a book on nutrition? Banana for breakfast eh?
Don't kill yourself, it's rubbish. Do something happy, like play a vintage arcade game
Double Dragon is fun!

How do you write cover letters? I'm not a retard, I know how to use google, but all the boilerplate examples that just read "I found the position on linked-in, I'm a hardworking rising professional eager to work as a ___" examples are just chores to read at worst and restating the accompanying resume at best.
Anyone have any cover letters they'd like to share that have actually succeeded? I am having trouble organically putting stuff about the company mission into it.
Second question, what's the right answer to "what have you...

I don't know what to do it's too edgy. Go back to the place that possibly got things wrong that might not even like me, to get it fixed. Or... no money, um...will have to sit on it while I find a work around. But, really ill AND at war with world too. It's edge-ville. I've reached my limit of edge, I can hardly walk. Really ill.
Go back. Get it fixed. You might've fucked up in the past, but if you go back and do better they'll change their minds.
>>16947805
No, I've not fucked up.
"Go back to the place that possibly got things wrong that might not even like me, to get it fixed"
see? The place I went to might not have done the right thing...
so...do I go back???
or die.
I dunno.
>>16947807
What did they do? Do you think they can help you now? I say go back rather than die, even if it isn't perfect there
Hey guys. Listen, I was wondering, do employers pull up your minor record from when you were a kid if they are hiring? I didn't do anything horrible when I was younger, I just am worried that what I did will affect me, since my mom says that I won't be eligible in this county for a job because of some stupid shit I did as a kid. Nothing drug related or gang related.
>MFW my mom thinks she knows more about the internet then I do, and constantly tells me that my few Facebook posts about benign shit is going to keep me from ever getting a job.
Were you convicted of a crime? What was it?
>>16947796
Did you DDoS something and got caught?
>>16947801
Was not convicted for a crime. I have never done jail time. Never. I got fired from a job when I was 15 because, well, I was involved with a group of "friends" who liked furries. I had logged into my MySpace page at work, and was fired because I had also talked to some girls about what furries were. Now I was a kid. 15. This happened 7 years ago. But my mom thinks I'm screwed out of ever getting a job because of this.
My best friend is an addict and I don't know how to handle her. She's been in and out of treatment several times and can't stick with sobriety. She doesn't live in my city, so I don't see her in person often, but she will always tell me I'm her only friend. Everybody else in her life gets really angry with her when she uses, and of course it's really upsetting to see her go through that, but I feel like I have to be nice and support her. She knows how tender-hearted I am and that I would be really disappointed seeing her use, but she sends...

Im 35 been an addict since I was 13. I have gone in and out of every drug addiction you can think of. I will probabley always use some type of drug the rest of my life on and off. Be there for someone only as long as you want to bc drug addicts are selfish .
She's said to me before that she really does appreciate me and that she's sorry that she's fucked me over before. She knows she'll do anything to get what she wants, and she doesn't want to but she can't help it. I don't want to hurt her because I know she really can't help it. I think I have enough distance from her since I hardly see her now, but I still feel like I'm the only one on her side. When we were closer in location she was with me all the time and stayed sober because I was sober. I feel like I was able to provide her...
