Holy shit I haven't gone on a date since the 8th grade. I have good enough looks but how do I not seem mentally dead and void of real emotion?
Be interesting.
I'm in the same boat as you, Went on my second date in my life a few weeks ago. We were able to take for several hours because we shared common interests.

OP is pic related you?
>>16611058
Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Girls talk and date multiple men at once a lot of times. You should do the same and then pick the most attractive girl you have. It's that simple. If you fail with a chick just brush it off and move onto the next because 99% of the women on dating apps are worthless so you don't lose anything if they reject you. You honestly have nothing to lose. Keep trying op, you'll get the hang of it.
A lot of sluts like when you make jokes about your dick...

Found out my estranged dad passed away yesterday. I feel bad for not being able to at least talk to him. I guess I got used to him not being around, and felt like I really had nothing to say to him. But I never forgot him or stopped caring about him. Worst fuckin' Christmas ever.
Wasn't sure what board to post this in. Just trying to get my feelings out...
I'm estranged from my dad too, and I'm 99% certain we'll never speak or see each other again. I know I will feel this feel one day. Don't live in regret though, that shit will eat you alive. Life can be really confusing and hard sometimes. But sometimes you just gotta say "shit happens" and move on.

Thanks for the advice and for replying at all. I was starting to think nobody cared.
How long will it take for the guilt of cheating to go away? I cheated on my now ex-gf a month ago and she shows up in my dreams every night and I feel very guilty whenever I think about her

It's forever

how do I overcome the guilt

I'm an 18 year old high school student trying to pass AP world history. The teachers pretty much trash, so's his curriculum. Advice on how to pass the class?
>>16610953
From experience-just revise the facts. Literally-thats the only shit you need for the marks, so when the teacher is telling you about how to make good filler in the essays, your time will be better spent playing video games. Legitimately aquire a basic mark scheme and revise the facts only. If it sounds like bs dont revise it. For example, learning Hitlers point of view on the Jews during WW2 will get you fuck all marks. Learning why this happened, (deeply ingrained hatred, as the jewish people often held the highest/...

Cheat? It's just high school, it doesn't really matter.

That's good advice thx.
Today is the worst day of my life.
Today, I declared my love to the most beautiful and perfect girl in this fucking world, and she said that she doesn't feel the same.
She's the only thing I really need in my life, and the only reason I have to wake up every morning. I know that my goal in life is to make her happy, and take care of her. I just want to share all my life with her, but her feelings are just not the same as mine.
I just wish things could be different. I just wish that I could tell her that I love her every day, and see his amazing...

Well at least you didn't pour your heart out for a girl who then openly stated she was using you for entertainment/confidence/support AND who said she hopes you're an asshole who should feel bad after saying you cannot continue to talk to her.
Fuck her.
I came so close to letting the hate win out and just going off the rails completely.
Just be thankful she wasn't a selfish cunt about it. God fucking damn.
>>16610958
Forgot to delete 'she hopes'.
You get the idea.
But, OP, what I did was focus on my self. I started going to the gym 4 times a week, reading a lot more, making more music, and developing a healthy, solid relationship with myself. Sorting through a lot of horrible thoughts and changing how I relate to myself, and in what context.
You can move on and you will move on. This terrible fucking pain is going to force you to grow and become more independent. It will also make the good things...

get into music bruh
>>16610929
Find a list of the great works of literature in the western cannon. find something that looks like it could be pertinent to your sensibility and situation. READ IT. THINK ABOUT IT. MOVE ON TO THE NEXT BOOK.
Although I do not know you personally I would suggest that you might want to start the books that have IDENTITY as one of it's central themes.
also... Anon is right.. listen to some good music also.

What the fuck do you do when you feel nothing /adv/? I need to stop being a piece of shit, but nothing ever holds my attention or gives me passion.
I went to prison and when I got out I felt like I had nothing. unmotivated, etc. but I needed money so i became a laborer... i fix shit.. clean shit... move shit.. etc.. nigger work.
then i use the money to buy booze and drugs. been like this for a year and a half now. money is the motivation i guess, just keep working
I wish i could help but im in the same boat, im going to study to be a lawyer and its more a "itd the thing I dislike less" than a "my dream is to be a lawyer!"

Hello /adv/ I am a bit desperate for some help
I am middle class 20 years old male living with my parents.
I have suffered from depression since I was 13 years old, mixed with social anxiety and lately heavy episodes of derealization and suicide thoughts.
I have tried antidepressants and stimulants to no avail, I've also tried changing my diet and going to the gym (lifting) but fighting myself to get me there is very though. I pretty much have lost hope since 5 months ago, trying to help someone from getting beaten in the streets, I got punched...

Hi people, need some advice.
I feel pretty shallow right now, I only have school, a part time job and a Swedish course I'm taking and my PC. I get caught in a cycle with girls as well. I meet a girl, get to know them and then ask them if they like me or not, 6-grade style. Dates are useless imo. You know if you like someone or not very quickly. It mostly (never ended up otherwise) ends with "Oh I really appreciate your courage bla bla.. But we're still friends right?"
Then they proceed to cut me off completely even though I know we could still...

Dates aren't useless. You're not that special, there's a reason that pretty much everyone does things a certain way. Stop being so blunt and start actually trying to show them a good time
If you are shallow, you could at least be fun. You sound like a drag.

"buy and hold close" = "talk to and hold close"..
Dunno what happened there
Working on my bach. in mathematics. Currently have no plans to move onto graduate level.
Will I have any shot at landing a decent job? Should I push on to graduate school in order to get any type of decent job or change my major all together if I am not pursuing masters in math?
Take the actuarial exam.
You don't necessarily need a master's, but you should consider adding a minor in some field that you believe you could apply the math degree to. Math is funny, in that you can apply it to lots of different fields; you just need some sense of what you want to do with it.
Hey /b/ so i need to give somebody something but i dont wanna meet them in person. I offered to deliver it and take payment via paypal, but they cant have a credit card trail of it. What can I do /b/ros?
Leave it at a certain safe place. For example under a bridge tucked under a decent sized rock. Don't tell him the place beforehand, tell him when you actually leave it there.
That's what spies do.

Cheers bud
Mate, if you're going to post here the least you could do is address the board by its name.
If you think this is a trivial complaint, imagine if someone walked up to you and said "hey Barry, I need some advice"
"but I'm not Barry"
"whatever dude, I was speaking to Barry a few seconds ago and I can't be bothered changing names now"
I'm planning to do running/jogging on the spot. I live in an apartment complex. Is pic related rug and shoes going to make noise for downstairs?

Just curious what's that picture of?
Alright, so i started talking to a girl I used to see
To start with, it's just talking nothing special
About two weeks in, talking everyday and we start getting into much deeper topics
It feels like there's an attraction between us again
been about a month and i started slipping in that our conversations would be better in person, e.g. in bed
says she agrees
doesn't want to come see me though
because she's not certain of her feelings
What i'm thinking of doing is telling her to have a few days to think it over,...

Seems like she just wants someone to chat with, and you're that guy. I had a girl I used to talk to regularly and I had her over at my place with no issue.
All that "unsure of her feelings" talk is pure shit. She's saying that to keep you around because you'll hope that those "unsure feelings" turn into actual feelings.
Cut her off and talk to other people, you don't want this chick to be your oneitis, or yet make it even worse.
Can I call the cops on my upstairs neighbor, /adv/?
Quick back story: I don't know WHAT the fuck is going on in that apartment but this person is CONSTANTLY pacing back and fourth. These apartments are pretty cheap so I expect some squeaking when someone upstairs is moving around but holy fuck this guy is STOMPING all day, sometimes running back and fourth, slamming his closet door, and evidently pushing heavy objects all around his floor directly above my bedroom at absolutely all hours of the day. This isn't an exaggeration. Literally noise all day and all night...

In a situation like this, police should be considered a last resort. He probably doesn't even know how much it's bothering you. Don't make unnecessary trouble for your neighbor just because of your own social awkwardness. That's much worse behavior than walking on your own floor, even if it's late at night.
If you really don't want to knock on his door, introduce yourself, and talk to him, then you should slip a note under his door. If that doesn't work, call your landlord. But police should only be brought in if he's being truly...
