Friends with a girl who paints. Wanted to get her a gift for valentine's. I was thinking about a decent set of brushes or some such, but I don't really know anything about painting. Was hoping I could get a few recommendations or at least pointed in the right direction? Or other gift ideas are welcome too
Thanks for any help
why would u get her a gift on valentines if shes just a friend
that shit is weird
>>16792259
>giving your platonic friend Vdays gift
That's cringy

She's getting me one, so I thought best to return the gesture
How good of a driver do I need to be.
Apparently my stops arent 100% smooth and the car has a little jerk.
Would I fail a drivers ed test because of this.
>>16792246
How unsmooth are they? Being a little unsmooth should be fine, but if you're really jerky then it's an indication to the testing officer that you're not a competent driver and don't know how to handle the car
Depends on the smoothness. It's hard to explain, but you know how you push your foot down harder when you want to "fully brake"? You need to ease into THAT. Everything else is just deceleration.
A lot of times if you just have a minor problem (brakes not the smoothest) they'll just give you some advice after passing you.
Just drive in circles a bit until you get the hang of vehicle control.
Source: I used to be a really shitty driver.

Its not bad. I guess theres just that little lurch at the end. But I thought that was supposed to be there.
I met this girl on tinder, and we had a really good first date. Tomorrow we are going to have dinner. Finally a great opportunity, but....
On the first date she said that she has hepatitis, her mother gave it to her giving birth. I search and looks like all the types are STDs. I didnt ask what type because I m stupid... Fuck, she is cute, but I cant risk it. Is there a chance that could be totally safe, or should I really play safe and finish this thing?
Hepatitis fucks with your liver if I'm not mistaken.
I would avoid, dude. Sorry to say but girls with STDs aren't worth the health problems
risk rate for hepatitis via vaginal sex is low. use a rubber and don't shoot drugs with her.
>>16792203
Casual sex isn't worth the chance. But if it worked out? She'll give you her hep one day almost guaranteed.
Good on her for being honest, and it's sad considering it isn't remotely her fault (assuming she's telling the truth), but sorry, STDs ruin a woman for me. I'd be out, and I recommend you do the same.
If you DO decide to bite the bullet and give the relationship a chance, I'd abstain from sex until you're sure you both are serious about each other.
Has anyone here ever been completely happy where they're living, with good friends and family, but moved to a different country for whatever reason?
Did you regret it?
Did you stay?
Did you meet new friends without issue?
What happened with your old ones?
>Fuck Jeremy Hunt
Yes
Yes
No - if the culture is too different, it doesn't work out. Within Europe/North America should be OK
Stay in touch, visit when possible
>>16792214
Not a promising start
I was thinking Canada or NZ to be honest
>>16792220
Those are both fine, culture-wise.
In fact, you may have a mild problem the opposite way: Canada and NZ generally put more value on being quiet, courteous, and considerate. You need to be careful you're not pissing people off without realising, by violating social norms you're not used to.
Hello,
I really need some advice so here we go.
My 2 years girlfriend broke up with me 3 days ago. She did it because I gave her no space or trust. I am aware of the mistakes I made and I know she may not come back. But I really feel I should fight more for her.
Today I called her because I felt the urge to tell her about how I feel. I started with the "I miss you" "I love you" "I regret that and that" and she was not impressed. After I calmed down, we started having a mature conversation. I showed her I understood my mistakes and...

Is it a good idea? I don't think so; you desperately cling to past - it would be better for you to realise that she doesn't want you back and move on. Pulling this stunt with a rose and a message you paint yourself as an another desperate, stalkish ex who can't let go.
You already tried to win her back and she refused. Leaving her alone would be more gallant thing than pestering her with teary messages.
>>16792193
no
move the fuck on bro
I understand. I think is a bad ideea too, but a few female friends said that they would like it, so i tought I could give it a try. I understand that is a bad idea and won't do it.
Yes maybe I should move on, but I feel that she may come back, because I know she loves me too. I am no psycho that stalks and shit, I just want to hold on a little longer because I feel I can make everything work again.
how to make easy money?
where should i go when my parents kick me out of home?
I hear carpentry is a pretty sweet gig, Anon.
Go to the anime world and live with Saya obvs
>>16792200
That's exactly what I want, I want to live in my own room, with my dakimakuras and anime merchandise, and I want to have free time to play witth my battlestation, and bronswe imageboards, but I need the money to do so.
and my parents hate me so naturally i'll be kicked out of home soon, too.
I think many on this thread would go on to assume that marijuana basically helps alleviates mood and makes things better when one is feeling down as long as moderately used.
The problem I felt that I had with this drug like any drug is that if there are underlying problems (Which I assume many of /adv/ already do have) one simply starts seeking solace and refuge in the drug itself.
It always starts simply enough that one would only do it once or twice a weekend, but it seems that it so readily slips onto daily routine.
Assuming many of us are in our early to mid twenties, with high metabolism, many would experience an increase in appetite, thus every time food would go hand in hand with weed.
I noticed an increase in 20 kg over a period of mere 3 months by using Marijuana daily.
This could have been prevented by either 1.eating healthy while feeling hungry or
2. getting used to weed thus not feeling hungry at all.
If we assume many of us have underlying problems, then it would also be fair to assume junk food would be our choice of comfort food. Weight gain is inevitable in that process.
If we feel we should get used to it so we won't feel hungry anymore, then it would mean loss of motivation, loss of energy resulting in higher lower self-esteem.
Weight gain would automatically boost the low self-esteem.
One would start to seek refuge in this unique world now and real world would feel dull or painful (as was with me)
With low energy and increased weight, one would start experiencing anxiety especially socially and many would start isolating themselves to prevent that.
Sex feels better when high, many of us are social retards who don't get pussy so we cling onto porn and masturbation resulting in excessive porn addiction or porn induced erectile dysfunction.
When you look at the bigger picture, wouldn't something that was supposed to help you alleviate from depression symptoms made everything far more worst than it originally was?
What do you guys think?
youre assuming a whole fucking lot
drugs act different for every single person
Like another anon said, you're assuming a lot. Perhaps some people can handle this routine. I know a person who actually lost weight after getting into drugs. I guess this domino chain you're describing would only pertain to some people.
Like any other drug weed can be used and it can be abused. How it effects people and their lives is highly dependent on how THC effects them personally, the state of their life situation and mindset, and the potency and strain of the pot they're using.
Some users find it reduces their overall anxiety, makes socializing easier, makes them more creative, allows them to see problems and situations in a new light, and indeed more likely to exercise.
Others use the sensation-amplifying effects to exacerbate bad, escapist tendencies they already have; they'll...

I had a sex with a girl yesterday. We both did oral sex on each other without protection. Today I feel this rash around my hands, back and feet. Do you guys think this might be a STD? I'm getting paranoid, I'm even worried that I got HIV or something because I had a small cut inside my mouth.
Does your country offer free checkups? Is it anonymous? The best course of action would be to see a qualified doctor. Anons on 4chan won't be able to give good advice on this.

Where'd you meet the girl?

>>16792154
just be patient, life will take care of that for you in time
>>16792177
I must be honest, I've been a hypocrite with my emotions all the time. I even shut me out of social networks because I was being a hypocrite there too. I'm tired of pretending to be someone I'm not.
>>16792154
Who cares?
It's true, I do luv cake
I'm not sharing
Let's put it this way -- if there's cake within my line of vision, ima get some that.
I don't trust people who don't eat cake.
Do they exist really?
or is it just more of a difference between a confident man who believes in himself Vs an insecure faggot?
If we're talking practically, these terms mean nothing. People can't be divided up so easily.
Core concepts are mostly true but every woman is different. But it is a good start that you are aware of it.
Alpha are strong masculine men that fuck all the women.
Betas are weak nerdy effeminate guys who are attract only the most desperate women, if any at all.
yep they definitely exist
Now I'm not ugly at all, I'd say strong 7 on a good day. Every now and then, and this doesn't happen often at all, I'll get hit on by a girl or I can tell that they're checking me out. What the hell do I say or do? Here's an example.
>At Bk drive thru
>There was some confusion at the speak, but I was totally polite about my order and we cleared things up, the girl seemed to find me funny.
> pull up to window.

Well I think they will like anything you do. Next time smile and wave
>>16792140
Sorry I didn't make myself clear enough but I'm trying to get a gf/laid here. How can I be an Alpha and take over the situation.
Anon, when a girl makes first move, everything you'll do or you'll say will be fine. Just talk and smile. Ask questions. Then, escalate as soon as possible.
i need some help to diffuse this in my head. i overthink about it and makes me anxious.
having also generalized anxiety disorder it feels even worse.
i know that she likes me too and everything is setup for me to make my move however it feels such a huge moment in my head at the moment i feel i might miss it or not do it.
(i have lost many girls in the past from making them think i didn't want them because i didn't make the move. it is hit or miss with me).
i need your input sort of how you see a situation like this to chill me out and actually realize...

apolpgize for my english they kinda mirror what is happening in my head being this anxious as you can see.
Breathe, damn it.
When you aren't breathing properly, you get neurotic and lose control.
Practice deep breathing. Learn how to breathe with your abdomen, not your chest.
Honestly there's a good chance that she's just as nervous as you are, try to remember that. Take a deep breath and go for it.
So I've been chatting it up with multiple girls from UNI, got numbers and everything. They all laugh at everything I do and say. They love my intense sense of sarcasm, and I've been told that I should right a book or do something with comedy because I'm "THAT FUNNY".
I just can't tell if they like me or not. They say all these kind things and like my humor and presence but I don't know their feelings.
Are there any tell tale signs of attraction that you've personally dealt with.
>>16792129
A good sense of humor is literally the number one aspect that everyone likes and makes girls attracted.
Don't know if those are attracted to you, but it's a good signal
Being the "funny" guy will get u numbers.
What it won't do is get u laid :)
Stop with the class clown shit and alpha the fuck up.
I didn't say that's all I do, I'm actually quite muscular and I'm 6'0. I just want to know if these specific chicks like me and what I can do to find out.
I didn't say I'm just funny. That's what they say as they grab my muscles. I just don't know if they have some kind of ulterior motives.
So my boyfriends temporarily broke up with me and said he never wants to be with me again, even going as far as to lie about having a new gf to get me to leave him alone, when we were both under a great deal of stress. He came back to me after like a month of this weird behavior. Since we're very different people he doesn't understand how deeply it hurt me and broke my trust. Since then he hasn't been as affectionate as he used to but insists he still loves me and wants to be with me.
Do I even have a right to be hung up on that? Are we fundamentally incompatible...

You are beyond pathetic for even considering getting back with him after what he told you
Go get yourself some self respect senpai
This is why girls aren't taken seriously
>>16792112
I suppose so. It's just that I have a very stubborn personality and I used to cut people off completely in the past. I wanted to be understanding and forgiving.
