I like a girl from my group of friends. I want to ask her out face to face but there's always one or two annoying friends around making it awkward. They've known her for longer than I have. We get along but we aren't too close. I've asked her before to do something more casual just the two of us but she couldn't go because she said she was busy with college.
I only meet her about once every one or two weeks. Is it okay to just ask her out by text? Every week I think "I'm gonna just ask her out for coffee, in person, next weekend"...

>Is it okay to just ask her out by text?
No. Ask her out face to face.
>And I feel like I'm too overwhelmed by how cool she is. Like I can't "just" ask her for coffee because that's too simple for her, but it's all I can afford now.
Stop that. She's a human being who drinks coffee just like the rest of us. Putting her on this pedestal and wringing your hands because she's "too cool"...

And she's not Ramona fucking Flowers either. Speaking of which, what a bitch. Kime Pine 4 lyfe. Comic-book Kim Pine, not Alison Pill.
If you left that fucking theater crushing on Ramona, OP, then reevaluate yourself for your own damn good. You're not supposed to really like her.
>>17271896
The picture was supposed to be ironic. I know I'm not supposed to really like her. And I don't "worship women", this is the only one time in my life this happens to me. I don't have trouble interacting with people.
What are some worthwhile hobbies, something other than videogames?
>be 24
>only interest ever has been videogames
>starting to grow increasingly sick of it, want to do something else with my life
>can't feel any interest towards anything else i look at, other than porn, but what the hell
Try branching out, get into programming and start making games of your own.
Or, try getting into board games and enjoy some face-to-face contact.
Or do something totally different. Do you like food? Take of cooking. Are you sedentary? Take up exercising. Try a bunch of different stuff and find out what makes you want to keep doing it.
>>17271774
>get into programming
I tried, it's too much numbers and text for me. I probably have ADD or something but I never did well in school because of disinterest, slow reading and bad memory.
I tried and humiliated myself in a chess club once, so I'm probably not gonna try something like it again.
Cooking isn't a hobby, it's a necessity.
Exercising is something I'm getting a lot more into, but it isn't a hobby, it's something I want to...

>I should probably mention that I'm a depressed, unmotivated and socially awkward dumbass
No need, you're conveying that quite well already.
Look, I'm not going to list a hundred different hobbies for you just so you can go "No... no.. no," to each one. My main advice is: try a whole bunch of different things. Find out what your friends are into and ask if you can join them. Eventually you will probably find something that interests you.
And...

I feel like I've lost the love of my life, someone I really felt close to. I've had relationships before, but never anything like what I had with her.
I would do anything for her, I would kill myself if it would make her happy. My life is nothing compared to hers, she makes me so happy, so full of love and life. She makes me feel like I can do anything, that I can accomplish whatever I want.
I used to make her feel that way, too. But I had a moment of weakness and fell into depression and the way she sees me has changed. I know if she would give me a...

love yourself as much as you love her.
>>17271769
It's easy to say that, and I do love myself. without her I dont feel right, I feel like something is missing.
>Is there anything I could do to show her this?
Try talking to her. FYI: suicide is okay, even if it's taboo.
Is it possible to from a culture/shape a culture exactly how one imagines it? Is there a way to force behavior exactly on individuals?
ask hitler
>>17271749
Yeah whenever anyone tried it turns out disastrously. Even had Hitler succeeded in his genocide and military conquest, the society that would have been built would have been all kinds of fucked up,
>>17271749
not EXACTLY how one imagines but yes you can find ways to control and influence culture.
the problem is that you as the orchestrator would spend all of your long life trying to get to that position of power and even if you happen to get there you wouldnt getr to enjoy the fruits of your labor.,
me and a group of friends went camping, one of our friends was guilted into bringing her sister on the trip by her mother. Her sister was fat, and really nerdy, but overall really nice, but she didn't seem to like her. Everyone was really rude to the sister, making fun of her behind her back, and also honestly sometimes to her face... during the night, the girls kicked her out of the one tent they brought for all of them... since I was alone in my tent, I offered her to sleep in mine, as I was getting out to let her have it, she told me I didn't have to leave so I...

do you genuintely want to get to know her and date her? would your friend be okay with it?
thats all that matters. ask your friend if its okay first. im all for a bang and ditch, but she is your friends sister so thats not an option here.
you dont have to make a life long commitment to seeing her, but you do have to at least want more than just sex with her if you go through with this.
>>17271750
Oh no, its not a bang and ditch at all, I want to date her. Shes way different than girls I normally date... shes shy, quiet, sweet, and actually has ambitions. Shes fat, and plain, but still very cute, I imagine if she just put on a little make up and didn't dress like it was winter all the time, she'd be damn attractive. Talking to her at night really won me over.
>>17271716
Ok, when you say that your friend, the sister of the girl in question, the one you didn't kiss - has a thing for you, how do you know this?
If both sisters are attracted to you and you are more attracted to the fat one, then go for the fat one. You don't owe her sister anything just because you were her friend first. The sister took steps to come on to you, and the friend didn't. (can you give us some initials or something to make this easier?)
How do I unfuck my life? I fell into the neet trap and I've gotten into a very precarious situation and I see no way out. I want to get my shit together now but I'm stuck at home with my literally crazy parents and I can't see a way out of this. I have no job experience or money. At best I could get some low tier job, maybe, but that's not going to pay enough to escape from home.
Meanwhile I'm having to deal with my paranoid schizo mother with multiple sclerosis who has problems walking and my father with parkinson's that has been dragged...

the problem is you want to be fucked. you know how i know? you've decided this situation is the only situation.
you already decided you are going to get medically disqualified, and though you could get a low paying job andj ust move into a studio with four dudes, you have decided thats not an option.
life is full of hard choices. its often about picking hte lesser of two evils. its like a game of 'would you rather'.

Hopefully the military works out for you. Otherwise, what I did when mommy and daddy threw me out as a neet, I moved into a sober living. Extremely cheap, and they'll often help you put together a resumè and help with finding a job as long as you're sober for as long as you stay there. My parents paid for the first month and told me to 'figure it out' from there. It was only 300 per month and i slept on a bunk bed with 3 others in the room, but I had laundry, a shower, and access to the internet...

So i used to be in a relationship for the past year. And my ex GF had a cute class mate/friend i really liked. How can i get the cute friend of my ex GF without her noticing.
Any Advice ?
U cant just go whoring around m8
Why do you care if your ex finds out? Just do your thing.
>>17271703
I think she could mess it up by shittalking about me.
ok so, i'M about to upload a new profile picture and I want more than 15 like ( lol ). I thought that public pictures were able to be liked by everyone but it'S not the case,.. But I feel like alloowing people to follow me instead of letting them sending friend request make them feel that i'm selfish. should I activate it?
You have to be 18 to use this site.

Hi, /adv/, I've pretty much taken nothing but AP classes all throughout my highschool career (about 14~17 of them to be exact, I'll have to check to make sure), passed pretty much all of my AP tests, made a 28 on the ACT, but I'm probably going to be coming out of high school with a 2.7 overall.
I was feeling pretty confident about getting into the flagship state school, but now I'm not so sure.
Are my stats good or bad? Do I have...

>2.7 gpa
Sorry
You know AP classes are weighted right? Do you mean 2.7 weighted or unweighted?
>>17271626
You've got two things that almost balance each other out - only fair grades, but all in hard classes. The thing is to make sure that the admissions people see the hard classes. Ask the teachers who write references for you to mention all the AP classes, and mention them in your essay.

most all of us have done it and refuse to believe someone we crush on won't like us back. You know when a girl cares and when one really doesn't and you are pinning everything on hope. Just pay attention and if they aren't into you don't waste your time
>>17271625
I just feel like she thinks I'm one of those "nice guys" now, and that's just embarrassing. I would just leave her alone, but she's actually a really cool person...that I also want to fuck.
>>17271649
The more time you spend with her now, the less she will think of you. You will eventually become a creepy creep in her eyes, if you are not already .
I've had a long distance friendship with a girl for some time now. We talk often and we hit it off very well, to the point where we developed feelings for each other. Recently I found out she has a tendency of playing with guys and leading them on. For the attention, the power trip, idk, but she toys with people and ditches them when it becomes too serious. Recently she has tried to end it with me but she keeps coming back after she tells me it's over. I'm looking for some real advice guys. I feel like there is a lot wrong with this girl but deep down I want to...

Maybe you are misinterpreting what she is saying to you?
What exactly does she say when she is "leaving" ?
>>17271591
OP this is part of her game. Pull you in and push you away. I cannot believe despite what you have seen that confirms what you have been told you still want to fall for this shit. Run
>>17271591
Drop her.
I had the same done to me recently, and it ain't worth the emotional pain.
Just cut all contact with her.
I'm trying to get my local news website remove an article with my name in it. Can anyone give me advice? I typed up an email and haven't sent it yet. I'm going to send this to the guys in the IT department (I found contact info on the site). Any tips/advice greatly appreciated.

Just do it. If they refuse I'm sure you can threaten to sue or something.
>>17271583
Google "European court orders Google to forget people" It won't apply to you directly, but you can cite it as a precedent
>>17271617
That was part of my inspiration, but yeah maybe its worth mentioning in the email
today and old friend ask me to hang out next friday, but the thought about that its a trap to hurt me or beat me or humiliated me its killing me, and i actually im afraid to go

Why would your old friend want to harm you?

dunno, but when i start to think about it, i imagine crazy, almost impossible conspiracies

Did you use to, or do you smoke a lot of weed? (serious question)

Pretty much the same things time and again...single, financially secure (or with the potential to be soon), reasonably attractive, has his own place, possesses confidence and basically has their life together except for companionship...
>>17271549
Because shes female.
Hey /adv/, I'm 18 years old and I can't stand the direction my life is headed, I'm going to my first year of community college next fall, and I don't want to stay where I am. I love my direct family, but I can't fucking stand my extended family, I need to get away, and Florida seems like a good idea. I've done some landscaping in the passed, and hard labor isn't a real problem for me, I've also been told my entire life that I'm a "genius" but I'm 99% sure that's bullshit. What I'm trying to ask is, what should...
