Im such a fag for asking but im 24 years old and never had a hook up. Im having an online girl come over and idk wtf to expect.
First off i gotta kick my friend and sister out the house but idk for how long. She's willing to drive here, only my sisters room has air conditioning and i dont know when i should make a move nor do i know wtf i should do for her. Not a virgin but i haven't had sex since i was 16.
Also told we could drink but i dont want her to go home drinking and driving.... fucking what should i do
It doesn't matter what you do, it'll probably be a disaster whatever happens.

This. Just enjoy yourself and dont worry about her having a good time, bc it will ruin yours
Alright tomorrow I am going to dinner with some girl I met. I am not sure if its a date or if she is a lesbian or something. Let me explain:
>Just moved to a new city for work.
>Go out last Friday by myself to get drunk so I can forget about my shitty life.
>Walk around not sure where the fuck I am.
>End up in a place that is either a club or bar I wasn't sure.
>Get drink at bar.
>Look behind and me and realize I somehow ended up in some gay bar/club
>Dudes literally giving each other blowjobs.
>Start feeling really uncomfortable.
>Never looked at the crowd before getting the drink because I just focused on the bar and my drink.
>Accidentally lock eyes with some girl who smiles and quickly turn away and look at my drink.
>Trying to finish my drink when she ends up coming over to the bar and taps me on shoulder.
>Can't really remember what was said other than they took my phone from my hand and called theirs with it.
>Only thing I remember them saying is I look like I don't belong in that place and after they called their phone using mine they said they would text me later.
>Chick leaves with two gay guys.
>Finish drink and run out of the place and end up just buying a bunch of alcohol at a convenience store.
>Go home and drink it until I pass out.
>Wake up thinking I imagined the whole thing until I look at my phone later seeing that I got text messages.
>Girl convinced me today to get food tomorrow.
>Apparently they live with their parents and are expecting me to pick them up in my car.
Does this sound like a date? How can I ask if they are lesbian who just sees me as a friend since I literally met them in a gay bar? Any subtle ways to ask if they are lesbian? I have never been on a date either so I am confused as fuck how to dress for this situation. I really need some advice on how to act.
>>17286971
Not a date. Bring up funny story from ex, if she comments that she's surprised the ex is a girl she thinks ur gay, if she isn't she probably likes you.
Either bisexual or lesbian, probably. Why do you have to place a label on it at this stage anyway? Why not just go along and have a good time and get to know her? The worst that could happen is that you end up with a friend.
>>17286971
To be honest she sounds like a fag hag.
She's definately dtf but be careful, they have issues.
how do I get over the fact my narcissistic ex chose an anime girl over me

well that's fucking rude

That never happened.
Ok so quick backstory, I'm 30 years old, and I am getting back on my feet after a rather rough bump in the road 5 years ago. I am currently working at a car dealership as a porter (I know its lame, but it pays ok and will tide me over until I can go back and finish college), I have been there longer than any other porter (high turnover rate I guess) and my boss told me after one year that I am now his eyes and ears for the wash bay. Basically I am in charge of training and some scheduling for weekends and special occasions. For the most part my coworkers and I get along...

If you haven't started looking for a new job yet, then start looking. Nothing worse than working for a business with a shitty manager, and whatever this guy told you about relying you or whatever is bullshit. There's probably a reason for the very high turnover: manager's an asshole and obviously doesn't give a fuck about the employees.
Next time this guy gets belligerent like that and touches you or someone else, call the police and have him arrested for assault (or battery, depending...

dude thats not cool man
if you are truly worried, like your coworkers are as well, get together and go to the manager together, and threaten to call the cops
this way, he will be forced to deal with it, and you will have all of the employees on your side against the crazy dude, and not really call the cops and start some big ass thing
also he can get fired by the boss for whatever reason, and he wont relate all of that shit to you guys
you never know, he might be trying for a lawsuit,...

Oh I am definitely calling the fuzz, even going to have my camera ready on my phone to record his BS. In the meantime I got an extra week of vacation coming up at the end of this month so I think I may blow all of it to take like 9 paid days off once I find another job, then I can just quit that place.
As for my manager, IDK man he gave me a nice raise and even bumped over what I requested when he told me that, but maybe it was all lies. I guess I will see soon. In the meantime all I can do atm is just ignore...

I've been reading all this stuff about healing 'healing your inner child' basically it's just about healing those wounds from when you were a kid.
There's a lot of behaviours I do that don't work for me in real life. I have a very unhealthy relationship with authority. I fear it when I can see it, it was the same for my dad. Whenever he was around I would just be silent and wait for him to tell me how to act.
When he wasn't around I could be 'myself' and when he came home it was 'oh shit, he's here. Quick...

Sounds like massive daddy issues. If you're a chick, you're going to be dating lots of bad dudes who will take advantage of you. if you're a dude, just man up and take charge of your life. Who cares about the past.

I'm a god damn male. The thing is everything I've been doing has just been to cover up this problem. I'm 23 and I'm still a god damn boy
>>17286885
My dad died when I was 4,and at 20 years old I still feel like a boy,not a man.Perhaps this is why and I never made the connection
Can i get some feedback on my track?

Garbage, also change your name
>>17286811
I will listen ASAP, young yams.
>>17286811
Kick, hat and piano samples sound too muddy. Are you using FL Studio with ASIO4ALL drivers?
If so, stop immediately and use Primary Sound Driver. If the lag is overwhelming, get yourself a proper sound card.
If not, oh well, then just get better samples.
Also, the track is way too mellow to be considered trap. Be a little more brutal.
I feel so bored and ronery
I've never done drugs but they seem tempting right now.
I could probably find a guy who can tell me where to buy some weed.
>will le drugs make me happy le :^)
>>17286778
It's not the drug that makes you happy. It's the people you do the drugs with that makes it worthwhile. I've done drugs alone, just felt like going to sleep. You need stimuli from another person to make drugs worthwhile.
Unless you're doing cocaine, drugs won't "make you happy". If you're doing cocaine, you won't be happy for very long.
Why don't you focus on fixing your boredom instead? Go outside, get a hobby
>>17286798
Don't listen to this guy, drugs can make you perfectly happy when you're alone
Weed is fun with friends, but it's better when you're alone imo
It's worth a shot OP, whenever I get high it makes me feel much better, but there are other problems in the long run
What's makes a good comedian? Thinking about doing a small open Mic night soon at my local comedy club. What makes you laugh?
Unpredictable commedy, word games for example
>>17286571
There's no way the book of mormon is canon. It's an unofficial sequel at best.
Depends on the audience. Low class people will laugh over people or sex. Mid class people will laugh about situations. High class people will laugh about social faux pas.
How do I stop being worried of burning bridges/making enemies? I've always tried to be a "nice guy" in life, but I'm starting to get sick of people not taking the hint when I don't want to do something, or am not particularly interested in hearing what they have to say. How do I learn to kind of just tell people to fuck off, and not be worried about them getting upset? And I'm not talking about this in the realm of close friends/family, I just mean people that I don't really know that well or see infrequently.
It's like I'm...

Just punch them in the face, they'll get the idea. (this should not be taken seriously )
How does the DEA get away with using toxins to subtract virility from an otherwise sane individual?

>I'm starting to get sick of people not taking the hint when I don't want to do something
Then stop dropping hints and be direct instead, you fuckwit. You don't have to be rude about it, but you do need to be clear. A simple "No, thank you," followed by moving on to the next topic or task is enough.
I need to break it off with my girlfriend of 5 years. It has to be tonight. We work opposite schedules from now until Monday. How can I do this as gracefully as possible? I know there's no way to do it without both of us getting hurt but I still love her and want her to not walk away hating me.
Why does it have to be tonight and not a day that is more convenient where you have time to talk things out?
its going to be messy no matter what. prolly really shocking and awful for her. time heals these things tho... just do it, obviously be prepared for a lengthly conversation and be respectful... then see how shes doing in a few days and keep in touch.
Why do you want to leave her?
If you've straight up made up your mind, there's no easy way to do it.
Just be honest with them and move on with your life.
Was filling out an application form the other day when I realized how hard it was for me to give a sensible answer to "Hobbies?"
I have vidya, I have books, I have movies, but beyond that? Nothing worth mentioning. My life's been feeling empty ever since, and I'm looking for a way to fill it up. Of course I could ask you to spoonfeed me a few hobbies and pretend I'll pick them up (though I genuinely am open to trying new things), but let's turn this into a group thing.
What are your hobbies, /adv/? What is it you enjoy about them? What...

Usually these kinds of threads get more attention. Odd.
>>17287482
Have been here for 5 minutes or so, I missed it.
Common hobby pool aside (vidya, reading, exercising, watching tv shows [...]), I really like stand-up comedy.
I've never done open-mic in public myself, but I did some brief gigs at friends' places.
I've watched (and enjoyed) Louis CK, George Carlin, Ricky Gervais, Russel Peters, Trevor Noah and Bill Maher so far. I don't care much for Chris Rock or Jerry Seinfeld.
>>17286424
depends on how much extra $$$ you have to spend on your free time
maybe a sports league, or golf, or archery, or trapshooting, biking, running, swimming, volunteer with meals on wheels and visit lonely old people, guitar/insturment, different language
if you have $$$ then skydiving, skiing/waterskiing, learn to fly an airplane, motorcycles

Comb it when your hair is wet. Use a product to help your hair stay looking curly and not grizzly.
You can also shave around the head and keep the top of it intact.
I've come here for advice on the off chance that someone here knows how to help with my problem. Well essentially i make music that sounds like this https://soundcloud.com/lordgaijin/sith-lord-prod-relevant-beats and im not quite sure how to properly promote that and gain a fan base. As you can see most of the people that follow me are either dead accounts or followed me back because i followed them. I just dont quite understand how to build a proper fanbase and get people to listen to my music without coming off as a desperate spammy ass face.
>>17286158
promotion takes a lot of effort, so if you really want to take your chances, prepare to put in a big amount of time.
first, it's best if you already have something like an album or at least an ep - a single track or loose soundcloud portfolio is often not enough to pique public interest.
you will need to do a lot of research and make a list of blogs/magazines/music critics/whatever and send them your stuff. only send it to those who have a similar target audience as your music. tell them that in the mail...

Thanks man, i mean im also cool with investing money into this too cause i mean you put in what you get out. Well I see your point too about having an EP or an Album i was just thinking about that yesterday.
>>17286158
DM your favorite artists on Twitter or fagbook and ask them how they got started.
how do i end an application letter/e mail? i'm not a native speaker. is "thank you for your consideration" over the top? i want something that's friendly but not too stiff
That's quite fine.
>>17286156
As a recipient of many such letters, that's fine. Short and polite.
I usually end my e-mails with:
Best regards

(Phone number and business address goes here)
>>17286156
That's fine. An alternative might be "I look forward to hearing from you"
Just got a job as a busboy with my hours being Monday-Thursday 4pm-12am and Friday-Sunday 5pm-5am with Tuesday being my day off how do I deal with these hours while attempt to juggle a social life with college classes?
Put some social life things on hold for a bit until you get used to working nights (did 5 years from midnight to 11am). Arrange socializing around morning (right after you get off work) and lunch (right before you go to work). Learn to take naps (so go to bed at 6, wake up at 8, meet friends at 830). The hardest part isn't missing out on socializing but missing out on sleep, so if you have enough of that then the rest is isn't so bad.
>trying to work a 60 hour a week job in addition to going to college
I'm sorry but that's not going to work
>>17286113
Those are a lot of hours for a student. Colleges usually recommend no more than 20 with a full course load. Something is going to suffer, and it's most likely your schoolwork.
