I think I'm in love with one of my friends. He's single, and has been for nearly 8 years now (Since he was in 9th grade from what I understand) because he spends all of his free time with his best friend, a blood cancer patient.
He has never directly said it, but I'm pretty sure that he has chosen to be alone so he can be there for his friend. He's the best person I know, and I know that he's always going to put his friend before himself. It's because of that that I worry about asking him out. I want to be there for him, and I'm ok...

It's always hard to say with friends. Emotions can be confused or misinterpreted pretty easily just because the nature of friendship.
Personally I don't think he's been alone this long because he wants to be there for his friend. I'm sure he's caring and wants to give his friend a lot of his attention during this difficult time, but I just don't think that level of needless self sacrifice exists in reality. He still eats food, clothes himself, goes to school/work, and lives life, there's always room for romance. Do you think he's...

I think he is. He doesn't literally spend every second he can with his friend, we've spent time together and he does have his own life, but we're both college students and we both have jobs, so the only time he has more than an hour or two off at a time is on the weekends, and he always goes to see his friend every weekend.
Truthfully, I don't think it's a matter of time or availability. I think his friend getting diagnosed with cancer when he was a kid emotionally wrecked him. I've...

Go for it faget. Ask him out.
I started talking to her on facebok 2days ago and last night i invited her for a coffe and a walk. We stayed until late and i really like her. When i took her home she didnt give me that look that was a sign for a kiss and she just kissed my cheek and said she wants to see me again.
Does she want me just as a friend?
Yes. Everyone just kisses their friends of the other gender on the cheek. Also gives them nippletwisters.
>just began talking to them two days ago
>went on one 'date'
>why didn't she make out with me?

How are we supposed to know when you don't?
Keep talking and walking with her and you will see soon :-D
What schools should I apply to???
In junior year RN
2.8 GPA with a steady upward trend
24 ACT (ive been taking practice tests and I've been getting 26-27) on them and I'm taking the official test again in June
No Extra Curriculars or APs
I'm thinking of this place or auburn because they have decent acceptance rates but I'm I aiming too high?
Just apply to state schools and you'll be fine
>>17174136
You sound like a very subpar student. You should not be considering out of state schools. They're vastly more expensive than in-state schools, and considering your track record of uninvolvement with your studies and outside activities, an expensive school is not worth the money. You need to find an in-state public school. Expensive schools are for kids who want to achieve, and make the cost worth it.

I wanna go out of state for social reasons,
That being said i am looking at Rutgers as an in state option but I don't think I can get in due to my transcript
Welp, here goes:
I'm married. My marriage isn't great; we're not in love with each other, but we are a good team and we've been together for many years. We're heading towards divorce, of that I'm certain.
Recently, I connected with my best friend. We've known each other for 5 years, and spend a lot of time together. Previously, it was platonic, but there was always something special about it. She would always come to me with her problems, and open up to me in ways she wouldn't open up to other people. In that regard, it wasn't...

...it's sublimely passionate, intense, emotional, and satisfying. She recently confessed that she always viewed sex as a chore, as a means to please a man. With me, she says, she feels intense love and connection when we share a bed, and that she doesn't want to go back to sex as it used to be, for her. So yes, we want similar things, like similar things, want to explore the world and the experiences it has to offer together, and we're at peace, and truly happy in each others' presence. I have never felt this level of attraction and connection to someone,...

you're both cheaters then?
enjoy being right back here in a few years when it fades again and you cheat on each other again.
>>17174045
I've considered that, and so has she. Statistics show that can very likely happen. I don't have a response to you to negate that, other than that the real cheating would be turning my back on something so beautiful.
Been dating this girl who is educated and intelligent and successful. She's able to discuss deep issues that most girls her age don't give a damn about with depth even those that do don't. I really like being around her.
Yet the other night she acted like an absolute child when she didn't get her way. Then stormed out (I did not chase after her).
It's not something you'd expect from a young STEM woman who manages large groups, holds respect from her peers, and could probably be a high-ranking executive of some major tech company within the next decade.
What's up with this? Women who have their shit together acting like children?
Anyway, she apologized via text, but I've decided to just ignore her for the next few days at least so she understands this behavior isn't acceptable with me and that she's replaceable even if I like her. I think that's fair, but tell me if it isn't.

What are you implying?

Yeah m8 it's cool, hopefully she understands that she can stop wasting time with a person like you
How can I learn social skills without humiliating myself, suffering, or going through any undue amount of stress?
>>17172248
cant reinvent with out the hurtin because ur the marble and the guy making the statue at the same time
>How do I get the output without the necessary input
Practice at places you'll never go to again.
>>17172248
you can't. you learn things by studying to some degree, but you gotta actually apply it. you actually do math. you discuss history. you make art.
gotta take the instructions and go play with others.
>>17172295
this helps. what you got to remember is that when you leave a situation your life is literally no different than it was before you went, and none of these people will remember you in ten minutes unless you made a good impression...

Didn't see one!
Go!

I DIDN'T SEE ENOUGH OF YOU THIS WEEK
BUT
I SAW YOU ENOUGH TO MAKE MY WEEK

Dear mom,
I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that you ditched me and dad to start a family of your own.
I do however keep tabs as I have found my siblings Facebooks, watching how oldest two of the five are making stop motion videos with castles made from cardboard and teddybears breaks my heart. They will manage in life, and for that I am happy.
Maybe one day we can get back in touch, I miss you and the rest of my siblings.
R, I hope you don't hate me for clinging to you everyday. I can't stand anyone else around me. I only like to be around you. Everyone else around me acts exetremely immature. It's boring. You're interesting, so I like to hang around you the most.
Whenever we hang out though, it feels like you're trying to push me away sometimes. Like, some days you'll be super happy and giddy to be around me. Other days you'll act cold and push me away. Hell, you do complete 180s in minutes.
I just want you to like me, R. Or love. Whatever.
Also when...

I'm planning an escapade with some chick I've known for 5+ years now to a beach city that's like two hours away.
We both work and are responsible, so I'm not waking up with just one kidney left.
Do you guys have any advice? We're staying at a hotel, what days would be cheaper?
Should I rent a car or buy bus tickets?
Just general advice would be appreciated
>>17175206
Why would you rent a car if you're only 2 hours away?
Camping at the beach > beach hotel
Eat sandwhiches and shit during the day and go out to restaurants for dinner.
>>17175216
Idk, so we can move freely around the city, instead of taking a cab.
It's a pretty commercial city, there are barely any public beaches. That's why hotel is a must.
The food thing is solid advice tho

Guys, I'm at work. I can't be fapping on the job.
Hello /adv/
I have been lurking quietly here for some while already, and I can see you guys are pretty clever and experienced in some things.
I did like to take your advice about me having a bad time with my girlfriend.
It feels really unconforatble and it's not just her acting different, it's actually me.
So, my situation is quiet complicated, you'd have to be aware of many points in our lives to kind understand why silly things are being taking so much stress.
But, here goes a long story short.

Firstly i dont know who the fuck that anime character is.
Secondly it's taken you 4 months to ask her out? There are guys who'd ask her within the same day of meeting her. Anyway it's still salvageable aslong as you stop being a weeboo cuck.
If you really want this girl, you need to practice flirting/talking to other girls and gain confidence in yourself. Once you feel like you're pretty good at that, then try flirting with the girl you like and proceed to woo her.
You need...
