Hello /adv/
That's it. I've decided I won't meet a normal gf just by going to my usual places and I will join a speed-dating event.
Any advice?
It'll be in the week-end, so what to wear? Casual jeans/sneakers is ok?
What to say and what to ask? Is it okay to ask serious questions like what kind of relationship she's looking for and since when she's been single?
Some examples of questions or topics to fuel the conversation?
Bump.
Halp me pls :( or just share experience
I didn't even know speed dating was a thing anymore
>>16557834
I've been lied to then!
How do I become less awkward and more confident around women?
>>16557777
Shiiiieeet.
Don't. Just be awkward around them and laugh at yourself.
>>16557777
Show them the quads you pulled and their clothes will melt off
So I got exams in 6 weeks. Now, I'd like to know whether you think it's possible to be FULL prepared for them )and how I should proceed to prepare myself for them. Like, what's the best way and what worked for you?
How many exams?
Define prepared? A decent grade? Then ya you have enough time but a excellent grade requires constant studying the material from the get go.
>>16557755
I'm in for three this semester. Just cut the hard one out (Higher Mathematics) for next semester since it really adds well to my cryptography class.
I thought I'm going to ask this since a lot of people are in exam period now and/or have already written them. Imo it's a good timing to hear fron different people what worked for them and whatnot. Especially in terms of (exam)-preparation and studying the material. A decent grade would be really good.
>in 6 weeks
You can learn literally anything in 6 weeks.
You can learn the first 4 years of calculus and the principles of analysis in 6 weeks.
Yes motherfucker you should have more than enough time to get prepared.

Huh? Hey faggot what happened between 17 and 22? Mind giving us more information? Details help craft the advice.
>>16557660
op here. was in high school for another year before I graduated, lived in a foreign country for 2 years in peace corp, worked for about a year, have been in college for about a year
>>16557688
Need more info. You travelled, worked and now are in college, describe how you went from socially cool dude with a hot girlfriend to autistic 4channer?
What happened to your girlfriend and friends? Don't you have facebook? How does someone who is social not make plenty of acquaintances during those 5 years?
Fuck guys I'm mad. I don't even normally get this mad at people but shit I'm pissed. I try to be nice but I can only listen to ignorant motherfuckers for so long before losing my shit.
I regret going off but I can only tolerate bullshit for so long. I'm not even asking for advice here. Can you guys just help me take my mind off of this shit? Maybe we can all just talk or something. I don't know man. Share with me your problems and I'll share mine.
Whatever, I'll just dump some trippy pictures/give general advice if I can
Bleh
How are you guys this evening
IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEE
fuck off
>>16557659
>no
Friendless college guy here
How the hell do i force myself to be more social without seeming desperate?
>>16557633
have no expectations about results, just say what's on your mind and learn from past experiences.
simply assume people like you as you are, not as you "should" be.
smile and be calm
>>16557661
Why should i botter learning from past experiences if i should have no expectations about my results?
>>16557633
Well if you're of age, go gave a few drinks at the bar. That'll open you up :)
I'll keep this short and sweet.
>be me
>recently move back to hometown
>create facebook in attempt to be less antisocial
>friend request about 70 semi local people from high school

You're accomplishing exactly what you wanted stop being afraid of fufillin the things you wanted to do.
>I haven't hung out in a casual scenario with other people my age in probably five or so years.
Ahh...what? What are you shut in or something? How have you not had any casual conversations with anyone around your age?
>>16557560
I am. After college, I moved and didn't have an opportunity to easily make friends, as I worked with people in their 50s and 60s.
I talk to other people my age, but it's always over the internet. That's why I wanna make sure I don't horrifically screw this up.
Okay so I read a few articles and have seen a few video vlogs- and all fat girls agree that they can get attractive men. The ugly ones and the pretty ones. Girls always complain about constantly getting hit on by creeps and I'm confused as to WHY I NEVER GET HIT ON MY STRANGERS
I'm not that pretty and I dress modestly but every girl seems to get hit on. Again, I'm pretty normal looking, tall, average weight. White.
Am I doing something wrong? Tips to get guys to freaking give me attention holy cow
Tall, huh? That eliminates all guys shorter than you.
Yeah, 5'7. I guess that doesn't help.
you're not dressing sexually enough
So I have an exam in 4 hours that I know for a fact I'm going to fail. I just submitted an application form for student counselling and I know if I fail/don't attend this exam I will get at least one resit next August. Do you guys think it's worthwhile for me to just not sit the exam and focus on my other three to avoid a completely disgusting mark or should I sit it, fail it and just take the mark and pass the resit?
A side note is that I've had ongoing mental problems for a while and I was considering phoning my grandparents and letting them know before attending/skipping the exam.
>>16557484
You'll learn things from just reading the questions in the exam. Consider it preparation for the resit.
>>16557498
But the issue is that whilst the exam questions each year have been mostly similar, I have missed out on a lot of the course material and not kept up with my studying. So I wouldn't be learning anything I'd just be writing nonsense on the paper and embarrassing myself
If a girl tries to start a conversation with you at 3 in the morning, does that mean she likes you?
Yes.
No.
She could be
A) Bored
B) Drunk
C) High as a kite and accidentally texted you
The off chance she knows you are awake and the text is sexualized or flirty then yes she likes you.
>>16557473
I have already fugged this girl
It wasn't a very flirty message, she just sent me a facebook message and asked if I was awake.
She also knows I don't have a smartphone so I didn't get a notification or anything and just saw it after I woke up.
>1123mg Codeine
>24000mg Paracetamol
>10800mg Ibuprofen
>180mg Zolpidem tartrate
>700ml 40% Rum
Is this enough to fuck me up?
The rum alone is enough
Though you'll probably throw everything up
Paracetamol will fuck you up and you could potentially die.
Just drink the rum and nothing else.
>>16557470
I can usually down that amount of rum without chucking, unless i mix it with other drinks. Just wondering if all that other shit will fuck me sideways.
hey /r9k/, i really need some help...

>>16557420
Do you do well in school?
>>16557426
sorry i copy/pasted pretty hastily... still any advice? please?
I have to know if it is bad to cut off a friendship before something happens.
>Girl I like is gonna try and get with a friend of ours
>Last time I checked he has a girlfriend so she can't do anything yet but she wants to be a choice if things go bad
>I don't know if he is with his girlfriend still and I am too scared to ask in case he isn't so i know for 100% of a fact they would get together I feel better knowing 50/50
>I am cutting off...

Ask your friend if he is still with his girlfriend, if he is then your okay. If he is not, tell him that the girl is interested and simply cut off contact completely.
>>16557391
Ok so a few things
>I don't want them together because I want to still hangout and talk with her (not so much him but if they get together she is gone)
>Second I don't want to let him know about her liking him because that would kill me knowing I got them together
>Third I don't want to ask him about his current gf and he says he is single now, I would get super nervous next time we do anything or she interacts...

>>16557383
Its doesn't matter, she doesn't like you, its not like if they don't get together she will jump into your arms, you will be in the same spot forever, if you're ok being an orbiter forever do what >>16557391 said.
So I just started wrestling and I need help, can someone please tell me I'm just bruised?
Yep it's MRSA
Just somehow got accepted to pic related (Stanford). How do I go about not fucking this up?
Okay, I actually have some working advice for this one! Wait.....
Learn to speed read between now and the day you start. I mean real speadreading, with decent comprehension. This will save you vast amounts of time for other types of studying.
Work hard, take care of yourself, don't stress, believe you can do it, and don't get too caught up in partying. That's really it. Also, how did you get accepted? Are you a transfer or a frosh?
