Quick question:
I'm going to try to rent out a room that someone is subletting, somewhere near St. Pete, FL. Any pitfalls I should worry about?
I'm primarily concerned with giving them money and them kicking me out.
>>16850834
Sign a contract
Ask if you can call someone that rented the room
Ask if you can rent payments weekly instead of monthly
Ask if you can pay the deposit over time
To make it brief:
My father has taken multiple loans without me knowing,
I got real fucking mad and stopped supporting him alltogheter, turns out he's not able to withstand the payment because I was giving him money constantly.
As much as I wish to just leave his fucking ass in the middle of a street and not give a shit,
I still live with him and now he's trying to leech off the rest of my family.
I was thinking about using the money I have set aside (about 24k) to pay them off,
but today I found out that he might owe more money that...

Why are you obligated to pay his loans?
Move away from him. You don't have to live at home I'd imagine.
You have 24k in savings, and you aren't ghosting on him?
Alright, maybe that's a little harsh. The fact is, you already paid him a wage for existing, but you can't cannibalize your safety net because of the hole he dug himself in. He needs to declare bankruptcy, and you need to realize you aren't a miracle worker.
Is my bank going to hassle me, or freeze my account, or even outright reject me if I try to deposit $1500 in cash on the other side of the country?
This isn't anything shady - my friends and I are meeting in New York and are splitting a hotel for 5 days. They're all going to pay me when I get there, and I'd like the money in my account before the hotel charges my card a bunch of money.
I just don't want to be stuck in New York with a frozen bank account.
Which bank? And no, they wouldn't care about a deposit. It's a small one, too, not gonna raise any flags.
>>16850865
Wells Fargo. I didn't think it seemed like much, I just don't ever deposit cash into my account. I do almost all of my banking online.
Oh, also, if you're super paranoid call your bank before you leave and confirm that they won't care.
anyone wanna make out what this is?

>anyone wanna make out
was that a sneaky pick-up line?
We're not even given context here. Part of the body? Is it you or someone else? Any specific activities concerning that body part?

I lent my place to a friend not long ago until he finds a place next week, and I noticed he eats a lot.
My food has undenibly lasted less and that's coming from a guy who does $1xx purchases of organic food while the friend in question just buys chicken, fries, eggs, and coke.
He uses all my condiments, I don't complain, he eats some of my meal-preps, I don't complain, but when he single handily eats the last straw of cereal left I kind of ticked.
Not because he ate it all, because he ate it without telling me. I called him out of it and told...

no, you are right. having a roommate and having to split food-bills is a tricky thing to do. since he's only there for a short time it's obvious that you two haven't worked out the conditions propperly and that's backbiting now.
it's especially hard to get on one level when you have such differing eating habits. but him using up something and not telling you/replacing it is just rude. i'd be pissed too if i got up in the morning and find that there are no oats left. fuck that shit. i'd say just stand it out for the few days left, maybe try...

You're not being selfish. Just ignore that remark.
You were naive to let him live there and not set any ground rules. You probably never let a friend live with you that long before, right? Sharing a house can ruin a friendship.
Don't stay quiet about anything that bothers you. It will only escalate and you will grow to hate him more because he will keep doing the things that bother you.
Next time you let someone stay at your house, really think about what you are comfortable with and lay out some rules. Be upfront.
>>16850806
you are in the right, you have your stuff, he has his unless you've agreed on some shared assets in the food department
your friend is a cunt
I coughed so hard blood shot out of my nostril. Is this bad?

I had a GF 4 years ago, stuff ended badly and i blocked her. 1 month ago i talked to her again and i had an axiety crisis(never got over her) and blocked her again. A few days later i realized i was running away from the problem and talked to her properly. She also still had feelings for me but had something with another ex that was complicated. She stayed with me for a a few weeks while we had drama over these 3 people, i got hurt and she ended up saying she still loved her recent ex and was going after him.
Problem is she was the only person i really cared outside of my...

I feel bad for this girl, you sound annoying as fuck.
>>16850798
Yeah, i could be. She still wants to be my friend though
look at yourself in a mirror
change the things you can
accept the things you can't
If she likes you but she chose him because he has a job, you can get a job.
If she chose him because he is more athletic, get off your lazy ass and hit the gym.
If she chose him because he has a bigger penis, move on. Plenty of other girls have never had bigger penises before, and until they do you have a chance with them.
How do I improve my communication over the phone? I'm fine at talking face-to-face and through text, but I cannot keep a conversation going on the phone. I kinda zone out. It fucks me up on phone/skype interviews and when I talk to potential QTs.
like what? you are supposed to answer and then just zone out? or you run out of topics to talk?
>>16850762
Eh. You gotta just start feeling more comfortable. Get experience talking 1 on 1 with people.
And you've probably heard this a million times but treat women like people, not goddesses.
>>16850762
Why even have a phone convo with someone if you've got nothing to talk about?
My roommate's been really weird since the beginning of this semester. Just to give a general idea of previous events:
>graduated high school, going to college
>a guy I kinda know is going to this college too, offer to be roommates with him because I don't want to do roommate roulette
>don't really make friends first year, only person I hung out with was him, though not much anyways
>we print out both our schedules and post them on the wall...

And why didn't you switch roommates after the first semester?
That kills the credibility of the whole story.

Because other than his occasional asshole behavior, he didn't do much to make me worried.
Hey /adv/.
I'll be short: How do I make a resume?
What goes on it? Is there a specific format? What's most appealing?
>>16850673
Ask that exact same question to Google and you'll be sent to several how-to sites.
Wat do?
What's with people not using proper capitalization anymore?
Let's say you are dating a guy or a girl and although they look attractive to you, you have had a crush on better looking people in the past. If given the opportunity to have your boyfriend or girlfriend keep the same personality on the inside but look like your old crush, would you do it? And if you would replace their looks, does that mean you don't really love them as much as you thought you did?
I used to have conversations like this with my friends, in betweens games of hide and seek when we were 11 years old
>>16850653
K that doesn't really answer the question tho

Advices on how to get started on the flirting/getting laid stuff?

Do you have the chance to actually meet girls in real life (school, work) or just online?
Tbh if you are ugly and not even slightly charming or funny you're fucked.
I think I have gone off the deep end. I actually considered following a woman I don't know today off the bus. I want to say something to get so bad but nothing makes sense! She has fucking ear phones in all the time too making it impossible start conversation.
I need help. I guess a part of me just wants more opportunity to talk to them. I just hate how unapproachable women are.
Like how do they expect men to ever talk to them if they wear ear phones all the time?!
I think she's probably wearing earphones /because/ she doesn't want anyone to talk to her, bro.
Do not - repeat - DO NOT follow her off the bus just to try and talk to her, there's like a 99.9% chance you'll scare the shit out of her instead of making acquaintances.
Give up on this one, consider putting yourself in more situations where girls are more likely to want to talk to you, like in a social circle or join a club or something.
I just feel like I am never given opportunities to meet women properly and have to resort to doing odd shit like taking a mitten unnoticed abd then giving it back next day saying that I saw her drop it.
I don't want to do shit like this.
Hooooly shit, dude, cool your jets. That really is getting into creeper territory.
Like I said, rethink your entire strategy. Do something extra-curricular for yourself, like a book club or and evening class or something, and talk to girls there like you would any other person.
Don't steal their shit. Don't try to force conversations if they don't want to talk. That kind of stuff spreads as rumour and you'll get a seriously bad rep about the place.
