>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.

>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.

>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.

>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.

>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing.

Is it likely that my gf of half a year thinks its odd that I've never brought up sex with her or that we still haven't gone past making out? It's not that I don't want to, I just want to wait until I have my own place

>coworker crush has a friend visiting her from out of town and they're hanging out
A-are they fucking? why else would a guy from out of town visit a girl

>I message her something nice (say i like working with her, tell her she can help herself to snacks from my desk any time)
>"awwww, thanks user"
does this mean she thinks of me as a friend at best?

>tfw she frequently mentions male friends that she hangs out with
do i even have a chance with popular girls that have so many options?

Anyway to salvage somebody losing interest in you?

All I can think of is to not reach out at all and hope to hear from them, but doing the no contact thing is hard for me.

I'm in unfamiliar territory right now. My fwb is catching feels for me. I've known her for 3 weeks. First date was drinks and sex. Second she made me dinner and sex. The 3rd hookup is in a couple of days. She's making me dinner again. I teased her over text that she is catching feels for me and she said she was.

How do i let her down? Do i do it person in a couple days? Do i do it over text? I really don't want just go there and tell her i don't want a relationship. I feel like that is a douche move. She is a really sweet girl and super kind. I feel horrible. Any advice would help.

She might be thinking you’re rejecting her.

Bring it up and express your thought process around it. She might be internally frustrated but is unsure on how to voice her feelings. Time for you to take charge and bring it up.

This is the unfortunate outcome of when you go there with a woman that is not one the same page as you. I would break it off right now, OR at least let her know that you don’t want a relationship so you can set the right expectations moving forward.

This is exactly what you need to do.

At the end of the day, she has already decided if she likes you or not. Giving her more attention when she is swerving you will make you look even more desperate. Drop her and move on. Good luck user.

>She might be thinking you’re rejecting her.
But we've been together for half a year and I always tell her how happy her being in my life makes me, would she really think that?
I'm just worried she'll either not care that I live with my parents and I'll have to cockblock myself or she'll not care about the sex thing and it'll be an awkward conversation I've put myself in.
How do well adjusted people normally bring up sex for the first time with their SO?

Tell her the truth, even if it hurts. If she can deal with a fwb situation, more power to you guys. If not, then she can break it off with you and y'all can move on from each other.

I understand what you’re saying in all of this user, trust me.

But all of what your saying is “assumed constraints”. Your already thinking of an outcome and you haven’t had the conversation yet. If this is something that has been weighing on your mind, you need to bring it up.

You know how other SO talk about sex? They bring it up and say something. Is there any other way to do it? If she means a lot to you and she feels the same, there is no way she will react poorly. Put yourself out there.

I feel like something just blocks me from thinking rationally when it comes to her so thank you for helping me see this.

How often does this kind of tactic actually work out?

No worries, I get it. You don’t want to do anything that would potentially damage what you have with her.

But trust me, no one ever wins by playing it safe. You’ll never take this relationship further if you don’t take some risks. Best of luck to you man.

This isn’t a tactic at all, it’s the way you should handle the situation. If she lost interest in you, you need to drop her and move on. You’re better than to fall at the heels for someone who isn’t interested in the first place.

So you're saying there's no way to salvage it? I'm not even entirely sure they've completely lost interest. It's just heading that way.

Guys: where do girls leave their socks during sex, based on your experiences? Are they left on? Peeled off and crumpled under the bed?

At what number messages do you give up if you're trying to slide into a DM? 2? 5? 10? 50?

I am judging this situation based on the limited information that was given to me. I have no idea if this is a long term relationship or dating. But I’ll do my best.

If they’re starting to lose interest (especially in a long term relationship) you need to make things exciting again. Surprise her, do something different, don’t do the same old stupid shit that you usually do. Change her MOOD. Be exciting and adventurous. Go somewhere new with 0 plans, and wing it. Women love being spontaneous.

If she’s lost interest, drop her.

She might, depending on how much of a libido she has and whether or not she's the kind of person to bring this sort of thing up if it's bothering her. If you're worried then talk to her about it.

You sound like a sperg, user. Chill a little and take the intensity down a notch; exude confidence, not anxious desperation.

Waiting around on the sidelines and hoping she notices you one day isn't going to work. If you're interested in her ask her on a date and you'll know for sure.

Unlikely, but I'm curious to hear more about the situation if you don't mind elaborating.

Talk to her, either face-to-face or over the phone--don't text this kind of thing--tell her you're only looking for a casual sexual relationship and that, while you like and respect her, you have no interest in romance and don't want to string her along. Break off the sexual relationship (though, I suppose if she's insists she's okay with it you don't really have to, but that's asking for problems down the line where she tries to "fix" you into having feelings for her).

user's advice wasn't towards making her come back to you, it was about getting you in the proper mindset to move on.

I'd go no more than ten spread out over a period of weeks, and even that's probably a bit much.

How do I be less insecure and get out of my own head about my Girlfriend staying with me, we've been together for two years now and sometimes I get really stupid, any kind of ways to help.

>tfw naturally quiet
>in an even quieter mood now
>still kind of want to date
This is frustrating.

I've never bought condoms before, will any girl I run into think I have a small penis if I have "normal" sized condoms? My dick is 8x5in but from what I gather condoms are sized by circumference.

Attached: 1557199022679.jpg (1209x1612, 225K)

Nah. I can't remember reading the size except for once, where a guy had brought XXL size condoms. I remember that pretty clearly, because we had to stop and go buy condoms that actually fit.

They are by circumference, but I really wouldn't worry so much about it if I were you.

>My dick is 8x5in
8... 8 inches long?

Jesus christ that sounds horrifying.

:(

Yes, why? It still looks and feels small.

i take them off of them, leaving them scattered wherever

Girl I am dating is having sex with me, enjoys touching and getting touched, likes kisses everywhere, but is very reluctant to kiss on the mouth or even make out.
I got a little bit of tounge here and there (tiny sliver), but she quickly turns her head away to get me to kiss her neck or something else if I try to get in more than a single kiss on the lips.
Girls, got any input on that?
How likely am I to get a straight answer if I ask straight about it?

8 inches is ridiculously long... 6 is normal.

I would freak out if i saw that. I dont think you realize what goes through a girls head when they see something that big that is supposed to go inside them. Contrary to what your hentai tells you, we have internal organs we dont want damaged.

Could be bad breath.

I hate telling a guy that, it just feels... dumb.

What kind of things do people normally do to get out of their heads? The most wholesome methods would involve exercise, hobbies, etc.

I'm sorry, user. The best of luck to you.

Just make sure the condom fits; don't worry about any potential girls seeing the size on the wrapper. Women tend to overestimate a man's dick size.

>it still looks small

How much porn do you watch, user? You're very silly.

I'm 6ft 2in so it looks small/average relative to my body.

Some people aren't really into kissing, but it could be bad breath. Asking her would be the best way to put yourself out of your misery.

user, your dick is fine. It's plenty to make even a size queen happy, and most girls aren't size queens.

Just do it. What do you have to lose? If you don't want to be quiet, dating will surely help with that

It's not the looks, user. It has to fit.

I guess this is a long shot, but do you guys here have any good ideas for how to make "your" dad back off, if he starts to be... flirty.

I'm sorta dating/close friends with a guy, and while we are going slow, we have talked and confirmed that we want to try giving this a go. Problem is, his dad is being... very weird. Obvious sexual harassment at times, and it is difficult to avoid him, since his parents live in the same apartment block as he does, and his dad tends to come visit quite often.

It's bothering me quite a bit, but I'm a bit afraid of making a big deal out of it. Kinda feel like I might ruin their otherwise great relationship, or alienate myself.

Just trying to get some alternate options before I just break it off..

How much clothing do you guys normally sleep in?

Trying to figure out what to expect, since I'll be temporarily sharing an apartment with one, and I dont want to be too surprised.

naked if i can, but clothing myself if it would make others too uncomfortable

I've never had sex because I'm short, poor and ugly.

How do I ask a girl on a second date? She text me after the first is that a good sign?

Attached: 1556772852785.jpg (235x132, 3K)

t-shirt, boxer-briefs. that's all.
t-shirt for sweat absorption to keep bed cleaner, underwear because underwear.

I'd start by talking to your SO. Avoid sounding like you're making an accusation, but tell him his father is making you uncomfortable--use Joe Biden as an example if you have to--and you wish he'd stop touching/approaching you in a way you fill is inappropriate. Then give your SO a couple weeks to take care of it. If he hasn't either stop visiting your boyfriend's apartment or take to smacking his father whenever he makes you uncomfortable. A sharp slap would be enough to tell most older men that you vehemently disapprove.

I think that's aimed at dudes, but "you guys" doesn't really read as gender specific to me anymore. I sleep in a shirt and my underwear, but I'm a chick so eh.

The same way you ask her for the first one. Hey, wanna go out? If she's texted you after that's a good sign.

What do girls like on dating profiles? Likes, interest and hobbies are a given, photos as well, what can i do to stand out? Anything i should specifically mention? Anything to avoid?

Femanons, what do you think about vagina envy? If you have any thoughts, how do you think it relates to gender identity disorder? It's also usually called womb envy.

I think it's sad boys could be so delusional as to envy having this stupid, drooling thing that really just causes pain and bacterial infections but hey you go girl.

>naked
>t-shirt, boxer-briefs. that's all
Hmm, I see. Guess I should expect boxers and maybe a tshirt then.

I'm crashing on his couch, and he kinda has to pass through the living room to get to the bathroom, so I just needed some idea of whether I should expect to see him stroll through naked or not.

>I think that's aimed at dudes, but "you guys" doesn't really read as gender specific to me anymore. I sleep in a shirt and my underwear, but I'm a chick so eh.
Hmm, I always sleep in a pyjamas or at at minimum a longer nightdress. I feel like I get too cold/warm if I don't.

Talk to his mother.

No joke, this might even be "normal" for him, and he might not realise it is a problem. Talking to his wife would probably be better to get help making him stop. He is much more likely to listen to her over his own son, I'd wager.

I didn't ask her on the first one :(

>I'd start by talking to your SO.

I'm just kinda worried I'll be ruining his relationship with his father if I'm not really careful with how I word this. I've been going over it several times, and i can't help but worry I'll mess up.
>If he hasn't either stop visiting your boyfriend's apartment or take to smacking his father whenever he makes you uncomfortable. A sharp slap would be enough to tell most older men that you vehemently disapprove
I am not going to slap someone... maybe it would help, but I am not a violent person, and I don't think I would even be able to make myself do it in the situation.

It feels so... creepy to have this 50 year old be this inappropriate towards me. I'm only 22.

Is that really a good idea? Would I risk fuelling a divorce like this?

Girl here. Want to hit on a guy I was talking to on IG. Would it come off as too sudden if I asked him if he's single or invited him over?

Youre probably not the first younger chick hes flirted with. My dad was the same way with one of my gf's and i mentioned it to mom. Had a black eye the next day. Never flirted with her again. Though, most of this i was young and naive and didnt figure out until a few years later

How long have u 2 been talking?

We've only DM'd a handful of times in the past few weeks.

Just tell him you wanna fuk and if you're lucky he'll stay for breakfast

Well, the two of us have only engaged in intellectual conversations so far. Does going from scholar to dumb slut seem reasonable to you?

Just ask them if they want to grab lunch sometime. Its a natural progression to getting to meet someone

This is a differnt user

Anyone can answer this.
Whats the best dating app? not looking for fast lay. I do want romance though.

Sounds like a dream

Make me laugh, have a good grammar. That's literally all of it.

I don't do dating sites, but I'd make sure your photos were on point--that'd be the first place I looked, honestly; make sure you look nice, and make sure they're pictures of you actually out and about/in the middle of your hobbies, and not all shots of you shirtless in your bathroom--and then talk about what you're looking for near the top/in a prominent/immediately obvious location and then follow that up with things that are Hard No's for you. You'll probably still be making a lot of the approaches.

Honestly, it makes no sense to me. I get penis envy--it'd be so much more convenient and I'd save so much on pads/tampons!--but wanting a vagina makes absolutely no sense to me. I don't see why anyone, if given the choice, would want one of these finicky, bleeding, cramping, occasionally gross outside of periods things.

It's a bit easier to understand if you call it "womb envy," if only because that suggests you envy the ability to become pregnant--which has its own inconveniences and hurts but is, I'm told, a beautiful experience--and would like to bear children.

Well, then ask her to this next one then.

Honestly, user, it's not that big of a deal. If you're worried about driving a wedge into the relationship then go with "I'm uncomfortable" rather than "he's sexually harassing/assaulting me!" and explain why. If you don't, and never, talk about why something is bothering you, it won't change. If you can't bring yourself to talk about it the next is to assert yourself in another way, hence slapping.

It's part of why I suggested you use Joe Biden as an example. Biden has a very long, extensive history of touching people that most third party observers think is creepy or inappropriate. He even had a bit of a scandal over it--not extensive enough really, considering how much and to whom he's doing it to--shortly before he announced his bid for POTUS where he explained he was just very old fashioned and affectionate.

What do you mean?

None of them. They're all bad

Don't think there's any good ones out there, user. Just because the commercials amused me I'll tell you about this one, for farmers, that was advertised on Local TV for a couple months awhile back. Farmer's Only, I think?

Is there something that gets your brainboner going happening in the area sometime soon? If so, ask him if he's going.

>make sure they're pictures of you actually out and about/in the middle of your hobbies, and not all shots of you shirtless in your bathroom

Post paintball game, snowmobiling, hiking trip with a bunch of friends, kayaking, and a generic party with a few friends. Other similar stuff since im the outdoorsy type.
Should be good right?

Still, havent been getting many replies so was wondering if theres anything i can do to improve myself.

>Is that really a good idea? Would I risk fuelling a divorce like this?
Honey, if this causes a divorce, you would just be the final straw. Nobody divorces over a single person complaining about being uncomfortable over her husband's actions.

More likely, she knows this, and is ready to put him in his place if she learns about it.i doubt this is the first time.

Must be retarded.

>Is there something that gets your brainboner going happening in the area sometime soon? If so, ask him if he's going.
I've already invited him to my place and he said he'd consider coming up to meet me. BTW I don't want an LDR. All I want is a quick fling.

You think I should ask him again? Also, should I ask him if he's single?

Yes, those sorts of things should work so long as it's a decent photo and there's enough shots of you alone so that they can tell which one you are in group shots.

The only other thing I would think of is aim for something humorous when approaching a girl. Even the ugliest of uggos is getting tens to hundreds of messages a day, so some completely off the wall humor will probably get a girl curious enough to pay attention.

Well, if all you want is a quick, no strings attached fling, then just tell him that. Most guys won't say no if they aren't already in a relationship or don't do casual relationships.

Strange guy. Not sure if this is at all normal, but I could sorta respect it, in hindsight at least.

Apply memes, they're usually off the wall enough that normies won't be immediately familiar with them. As an outdoorsy kind of dude you can make /out/ jokes like kicking over cairns. Hell, talk about spooky innawoods encounters all "hey, do you like spooky stories?"

Gf and I are seeing and texting way too often, and we are both addicted. Tried talking, didn't work. What do?
>Create one yourself. You can use these macro

Without the greentext

Jesus, never thought memes and stal/k/er tales would be an asset

There's a few Anons who have had success with the "Are you an archaeologist? I have a large bone for you to examine" meme from Jow Forums, so I don't see why things from other boards couldn't apply.

Good luck, user!

Is "seeing" supposed to be "sexting?" If you guys are texting way, agree to put your phones away for a few hours each day. Increase the time as your need to constantly be on the phone/in contact diminishes to something sane.

>Are you an archaeologist? I have a large bone for you to examine"
Ha! Thats awful, i love it

Thanks

Going on dates

You think this would scare him off?:

Probably not. I'd save the bit about being single until after you have an answer to the first one, though. But that's just me.

So you guys are addicted to one another? Schedule less dates!

>Are you an archaeologist? I have a large bone for you to examine
Hah.

It's funny, these lines are actually terrible at picking up someone, but they just have a charm to them that makes it easy to laugh about, especially good if it is someone you are still building rapport with.

What the fuck.

How do I stop my insecurity of being infertile affecting all of my relationships? I'm with the nicest dude in the world right now but that doesn't stop me noticing he's as old as my dad was when he started having kids, doesn't stop me noticing everytime he talks about everyone else's babies or his little cousins. No matter what he says, my brain tells me he's hard wired to want to have biological children and eventually he'll leave me for someone who can give them.

Do you not produce healthy eggs, or do you lack a uterus/ovaries entirely? Depending on how far you're willing to go, you can still give him biological children. If you have functioning ovaries you can harvest the eggs and then hire a surrogate; if you don't and have a sister or another relative who is willing to donate/sell her eggs to you (or act as surrogate) that's another option; another is to hire and buy eggs from a clinic.

If you guys just want children there's always adoption. There's options out there, user. Not all hope is lost.

I'm an insufficient womb so the baby can't survive in me. Hiring a surrogate is way out of our price range, even if I were to get my sister to do it we'd still need the labs for the egg fertilisation and stuff. I'm happy with just adoption, it's all I've ever wanted, but I can't shake the feeling or insecurity that no one actually capable of having kids is going to be okay settling for "someone else's kids".

We can't, it's too hard

A girl has actually bought into my bullshit and thinks I'm great. I don't really think she's that great. What the fuck do I do now

Hm, surrogacy is expensive but you can save significantly by going through a relative or family member, and making a private contract with them, and once you have agreement from them it's just a matter of seeing about covering the costs of the fertility clinic; it's a goal you can work towards if you decide that's the route you want to take. Honestly, if you're worried about it talk to your SO about it. It might not get to the heart of your insecurity, but knowing where he stands should help put you at ease significantly.

Have you two considered moving in together?

Oops, overlooked this one. And I say it sounds like drama waiting to happen, so don't, but whatever floats your boat, user.

thank you for replying, can you expand on why it would be drama?

i'll preface this by saying i'm a Christian who's very active in his church. I go to service on Sunday, I go to bible study on tuesday, I volunteer by babysitting during service hours too.

now, i met a girl at college this semester who's very cute. she started sitting next to me about halfway through the semester. we started flirting during a workshop one day and then i walked her to her car. the next day i asked her for her number and that night i asked her out, she said she's busy, so we texted for like six hours. we got on the topic of sex (she brought it up) and then she suddenly went quiet and stopped responding. i looked her up on fb and find out she's got a bf and a kid, so i told her i'd leave her alone. after five days of no talk/text i asked if we can be just friends and she said sure. since then we've become extremely close. there's a strong mutual attraction between that's making it impossible for us to be just friends. it's not just sex either, we're genuinely compatible.

so that was a few months ago. at this point the semester is almost over. she told me she wants to leave her bf. she said she almost did last year but she had nowhere to go. i've been very careful about how i approach this situation and what i say to her because i don't want to tear her family apart. she has a very comfortable life for herself with her bf, and i want their son to grow up in a healthy stable environment, and it's not that i can't offer that, because i can, it's just that i don't want this kid to grow up in a broken home like i did.

but we're basically in love with each other and we've been talking about having kids. this is crazy. i don't know what to do. i don't want to be a homewrecker.

Attached: 1550585440252.png (1177x1034, 1.3M)

I'm a guy that feels really immature for my age, but I'm a mopey depressed personality. Lately I've been browsing some shoddy teen fanarts on Deviantart (Sanic donut-steel kind of shit) out of sheer chutzpah, and something really struck me about them - they were shoddy, but they had heart. There was a kind of naive wholesomeness to them that I found very invigorating. And more than that, the girls making those weren't just 13yos, but a plenty were in their twenties. There were some talking about husbands actually, and how they got a degree in zoology as it was their youthful dream career and now make illustrations for zoo exhibitions or whatever. I think I need somebody like this in my life. Where should I be looking for such a childish yet wholesome girl?

Just by getting close to her and making her emotionally cheat on her husband you've already done damage as a homewrecker.

she isn't married and she doesn't want to marry this guy. i could tell that just by looking at her fb. just because she had his kid doesn't mean she's obligated to be with him for the rest of her life. she's not happy.

Imagine not caring about destroying a little kids childhood.

Nah, I can't. I'm not that much of a sociopath.

Alright, I'm out for the night. I'll be back tomorrow sometime.

>essentially throws herself at you
>you okay.jpg; ask her out
>she cancels, claiming to have issues, then disappears for two months

She seems flighty and irrational, and the mixed signals she's giving off are a warning sign that she'll be full of drama.

I don't see what you being a very involved Christian has to do with this, except as a thinly veiled attempt for us to see you as a "wholesome good guy."

A woman who uses another man to save her current one will almost always, inevitably, repeat the pattern later. That she is a single mother--unwed; is the child her boyfriend's or from a previous relationship?--is a huge red flag, especially if the child's father is not her current boyfriend. A flag you should take heed of, because generally a "good wholesome Church-going young man" like yourself can find better stock in his own religious community.

You're already a homewrecker--chances are she wants to leave her boyfriend because of you--and you've probably already unstabilized this poor kid's world (not that being a child of a single mother is a particularly stable position to begin with).

I'd tell you to cut your losses, but if you're dead set on going forward with this I'd be extremely wary.

Well, Mr. Gloomy Boy, you could probably prod around in various fandom communities until you found one you liked. There's a few real life event

I've been missing words like that all fucking day.

Never used Tinder but I don't think it'd matter so long as your pictures are on point.
