bump for advice
>>16489022
To be honest, it just flows. It also depends to whom you are doing it. It is like barely crossing a line as in a provocation.
Don't overthink it, I have a friend who tries to imitate me, just to end in a very awkward situation.
i dont get it. why no reply /adv ?
Ex friend requested me on skype after i deleted it a few days ago. Now shes sitting online her account... I check her profile and it says she only has one contact (me).
Do i IM her? Do i wait til she maybe IMs me? What is she doing sitting online with this screenname when she wont even message me? Do you think she wants me to message her?

Give us context, for fucks sake. We can't read minds yet. Did you end on good terms?
>>16489103
Sorry
Ended on good terms, ended cuz of distance, and she lost feelings, i still had them really. Tried IMing her after the breakup but she was super cold even tho we ended it really well and slept together that night. But shes barely wanted to talk since. 2 year relationship, 2 monthhs since breakup
would it be weird to tell a guy I love him when I genuinely do but I'm also interested in someone else? would I be tricking him even though he knows i have interest in someone else? can i be in love with two people at once?
Sounds like a pretty fast way to lose a friend, OP.
At least, I assume he's your friend.
Shitty thing to do imo
This is a classic "can I have my cake and eat it too."
Yes it's possible to be attracted to two separate people, and to love both of them. HOWEVER, no it is not always possible to HAVE both of them. You may want to consider your priorities. Don't go fuck some other person just because you find them attractive for a moment while you leave the person you're "in love" with behind.
For example. I'm not really attracted to my girlfriend anymore however, I love her personality and she makes me laugh. She makes me happy. So I have a little bit of discipline and only sleep with her.
just control yourself. If you're in a phase of your life where you want to sleep with other people then don't get into a relationship, even if you "love them". Go fuck other people, and maybe you'll get lucky and they will still want you. Life is fickle like that. Don't want to lose that chance, then don't go around fucking other people. That easy.
The title says it all. Share things that life has taught you, wisdom you have gathered or basically what ever which is related to the topic.

No matter what you do, she'll leave you.
>>16488899
pro tip : she can also leave you by dying.
I am 25, married, female. Lately many of my friends have had babies.
Within the past year I've gone from finding them disgusting, to not that bad, to cute, and finally to imagining what a child would be like with my husband and me.
I am craving that now.
We've talked, and decided we need to have certain debts paid and a certain amount of money saved before having a family.
But it is getting ridiculous. A few months ago my period was almost 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test and had to restrain from crying when it was negative.
How do I stop this?
>>16488434
you can't. it is normal biological urge.
considering that you have debts to paid, do not bring a human into poor family conditions and debts just because "you wanted it". Talk with your partner about it first
>>16488434
Do you want children, or don't you?
Take some time to figure that out before you actually have one because once you cross that line you can't exactly go back.
A kid is a huge responsibility that will change literally every aspect of your life. The average kid costs near a quarter million dollars to raise from birth to age 18, and that's not including college funds.
You need to really, really think about this and talk to your husband.
I'm a 25 year old guy and I've never wanted to have kids; most of my reasons are personal and stem from my own childhood experiences, but I also have practical reasons like financial, etc.
This is why you should avoid women. They are fucking crazy.
Where can I obtain a gf that thinks her body is sinful and is ashamed of it?

>message still isn't even marked as seen
This was hours ago and I never got a reply. I honest to god really like this girl and I want to be with her. I can't imagine being with anyone else but I doubt she feels the same way. I don't know what to fucking do about this anymore. There are so many feelings I have for her but I would never be able to her about them. It feels like I'm nothing and like she's everything but I could never tell her that. Is this love or is it just obsession. I have no idea what to think. I've never had an actual relationship before so I don't know what to make of any of it
Hmm. What's your age and her age?
>>16487654
we're both 18
Should've made a move while you had a chance. Just be patient and see if you can meet up with her in the future and make a move. She's moved away and it's not like a rejection is that bad, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't at least try.
Which do you guys think is a worse hit to an american college guy's attractiveness in the eyes of girls around campus: being overweight, or being non-white?
Ignoring that weight can be changed, of course.
this is stupid.
>>16487344
Who the fuck cares you little bitch you'll never have the balls to approach a girl no matter how perfect you are
Now ask for some advice
Depends on how fat. Generally both are unattractive, though if you are black you may attract women with daddy issues, and if you are an asian you may attract weeaboos.
What is it called when two people are aware that they've both got romantic feelings for each other but aren't dating?
>>16484868
I don't think there's a term for that.
It's called being aware that they've both got romantic feelings for each other but aren't dating.
Not everything has a label, and not everything needs a label either

>boyfriend is going away for Christmas with his friends (all boys and all party/take drugs/drink heavily)
>I am going away for Christmas with my family and family friends to a beach house
>Childhood friend Adam will be there with his family, who admitted to liking me last year
>Boyfriend told me to choose him or this trip since Adam will be there
He told me he trusts me but shouldn't go if Adam is there.
I have no interest in Adam but I feel like staying back for Christmas while he is off with his friends is so unfair.
What do?
He is being unfair. Go be with your family, never let anyone get between you and family.
Your bf's insecure, it's his problem to deal with, not yours.
That's super unfair. It's a family event. It's not like you and him are going on a road trip alone. You won't even spend the majority of your time with him.
If he trusts you, why does he really not want you to go? This is hardly romantic with Adam.
imagine if the situation was flipped. how would you feel if you found out some girl that was into your boyfriend was spending time with him right now?
that being said, he is being a controlling douche.
I don't have an answer, just insight, sorry.
So I got this girlfriend that I've been dating for awhile and I love her. Recently she's been kinda distant with her texting. She's been on social media a bunch and not replying to me as quickly. I feel like I'm not a priority anymore, even though she still acts like nothing is between us when she does reply. Whenever I see her online but not replying, it hurts because I feel like I'm being ignored or she's talking to someone else. What can I do? How can I not feel so insecure?
How often do you see each other?
>>16489333
stop being such a needy baby, christ. Don't you have anything better to do?
Focus on other things so you don't think about writing her as much. Get some hobby or sth.
My 13 year old neice has a really bad habit of constantly singing and dancing.
She's good at singing but she constantly feels the need to do it and it gets annoying. She'll even try to belt when she gets up in the morning and others are sleeping.
When others catch her and tell her to stop singing, she gives the excuse that she wasn't singing just saying certain words a certain way.
She's been like this for the past 5 or so years. She's in a lot of performance arts programs so her parents aren't suppressing her talent, just she's constantly doing it all the time which is annoying. We tell her to stop but she just says "she can't help it"
What causes a child want to constantly sing or dance? It almost seems compulsive at this point but I have never heard of compulsive singing.
I ask this because she is here for the weekend and it's driving me fucking insane.
>What causes a child want to constantly sing or dance?
happiness?
Just deal with it, you big baby.
I know women like that, some who are in their early twenties. It's just how they act. I think it's cute.
How would you feel if women were bugging you about where you leave your clothing, that you don't lower the toilet seat, that you spend too much time on the PC etc?
Don't be a nagging cunt. Let her be herself.
>>16489368
This.
Why do you think that this is something you should suppress? It may be annoying, but she's a kid. Everything kids do is annoying. She just hasn't learned how to manage this kind of behavior in front of people yet.
BROS!!!!!!!!
this black chick wants to date me, but I could never have kids that have frizzy hair
She looks like she doesn't have typical Afro hair though, am I in the clear bros???
Come back when you are 18.

How do I stop being a cringe lord? Any advice?
get fit, don't watch porn, don't watch anime, talk to more people and get better social skills
>>16489195
I was reading my past Okcupid messages. I kept telling myself the reason why the conversation didn't continue was because I said this one thing.
>>16489203
Don't fucking do that, faggot.
What I've noticed in the past few years is that the only difference between someone who is cringeworthy and someone who is just funny and cool is that cool people don't go back to what they have said and don't let anyone to think too long about what they said.
I tend to drink a lot and I talk to people online when I am drunk. I've seen the shit I say, it's better to not look at it. If I don't go back on my messages in my mind I've said nothing wrong, I don't acknowledge what I've said.
I'm a higschool senior and in need of advice. Theres a guy in my class that frequently likes to wrap his arms around and put me in one of those choker/sleeper positions. Took this as a joke at first but lately I notice that he mostly does it to feed his ego and this is getting on my nerves. Im not really worrying about getting hurt, he mistly does it for 5-10 seconds and leaves, I just want this to stop. Fighting isnt my best option since he does have experience in martial arts.
Again, not really worried avout getting hurt, it mostly pisses me off that some nerd who is mediocre at what he does likes to feel superior this way. I do have some stuff in mind that I could say but I wanna hear your suggestions first. I am aware of how childish this all soubds but you wouldnt believe the class I am in. Litterally 90% pseudo intellectualls butthurt about not being a chad.
Just in case I wasnt clear enough.. What do I do to make him feel lije a beta he probably is (this isnt the chad type, this is a bitter inbetweener who wants to feel big). Or.. You know.. At the least make it stop, rekking him is optional.
>>16489171
Well, you could tell you have scabies. No one will touch you after that. You can "heal" once his focus has shifted to another person.
