>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Yes sort of, it was when I was a teen and was desperate for a girlfriend but I never actually felt anything for her.

>Have you ever been in love?

I can't say I've ever genuinely been in love. I've had crushes though.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes, with the aforementioned girl.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

Someone who is kind and funny, beauty is not the most important thing but I'd really want her to be at a healthy weight. I've currently got my eye on a girl who isn't the prettiest but shes kind and has the cutest voice.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Don't go looking for one just for the sake of it. Its 100% not worth it, you waste money and precious time you could be using for something else you like instead.

OP here, figured I might as well post too.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

I suppose technically yes, but I didn't feel anything for the girl I was with and it only lasted a day or two. I regret the whole thing to this day.

>Have you ever been in love?

I don't know. I've had a lot of crushes and I continue to have one right now, but I don't know if I've ever been "IN LOVE" if you know what I mean.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Nah, but I always wanted to.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I don't really mind her appearance, honestly. Sure I have an image for the "Perfect girl" but in reality I think I'd be fine with most body types. I think the main thing for me is for her to be able to take all my bizarre and off-color humour and be able to joke and hangout with me. To basically be my friend and enjoy spending time with me outside of the context of being my girlfriend.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Try not to overthink stuff. Just try and be cool and relaxed. And by cool, I don't mean standoffish. Don't be afraid to talk to her about the stuff that interests you. Just don't act like and feel like she's the only thing in your life and she's the air you breathe or some shit. No one thinks that's charming, dude. You're just digging yourself an awkward hole.

I've literally spent 10 minutes trying to think of preferences, but I couldn't. I think I'm open to dating anyone, and then just who I want to be in a committed relationship with depending on the person's pros and cons, because in my mind, the whole idea of dating is to learn more about the person you're dating. Although, I'm not really fond of the idea of relationships and marriages to begin with.

I'm just a man-slut who just likes sex, I suppose.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Can't really see myself taking advice from people who are inexperienced at something, and in this case, me being clueless about relationships.

I guess the only sound advice that I can think of that's applicable is just to learn how to accept, or at least tolerate, other people's flaws. And god knows I have no so many of them, but in the past, the slightest disagreement I had with someone, or something they did annoyed me would often make me judge them harshly, and this in turn hindered my relationships with them. I'm glad I changed this flaw about myself.


 No.16034

I miss him so much it's killing me, and its totally unjustified. Why the hell can't I get over him? Why do I admire someone who I don't have many great memories with in the first place? Why do I still want someone that long ago I accepted as romantic impossibility? Is it normal to be desperate to resuscitate your dead friendship when it burned you in critical moments? Is it normal to want friendship with someone who treated you like a cheap skank, or to make matters worse crush on such a person?

I just wish I could let go but I truly love him and that part reminds me all day long that he was important and special and even if he didn't know it he still turned my life around. It stops me dead in my tracks when I think of how I can't see him for the rest of my fucking life, that all the time I imagined what fun we'd have next is complete fantasy.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

When I was four years old I had some hearing issues (now resolved) and I couldn't speak (also I had mild burgers which made it a little more difficult interacting with adults and other kids except on a 1 to 1 basis). Out of buttfuck nowhere, a girl approached me and said "Do you want me to help you?" I nodded. She pointed to things, leading my hands onto objects and shaking her head to indicate if I wanted something and we did everything together. In a way she was like Misaki from NHK, getting me out of my shell. It wasn't really a "relationship."

Thinking about her now gives me the feels. I wonder what I would have been like today if I never met her…

I had a relationship over Skype but that didn't work out at all. Lasted around 2 months.

>Have you ever been in love?

Lust but never real "love."

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Nah.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

Although I don't read much literature (I need to visit /lit/), I really want somebody that's well versed in the area and knows her art. I want her to be traditional. A huge plus would be someone that doesn't drink any (or very little) alcohol, doesn't do any drugs or smoke. No piercing (except for ears.) No SJW shit.

Are we talking ideal? If so, a feminine, kind, and submissive demeanor in terms of personality. In terms of looks, a decent face, big (but not freakishly big) and shapely tits with a small waist and nice ass (also light skin and dark hair). Preferably a few years younger.

If we're talking non-ideal than at least some of the above would be cool.

Lift, socialize and have fun, and work towards your goals. Girls are great, but there's more to life. They're a nice distraction but your mission is the primary thing in life. Girls come and go.

We share a large amount of interests, watch anime and just talk. I'm not sure how I should answer this question in regards to characterizing her.

Do not take advice from random people on imageboards. Even your friends on Steam or IRC can be shady. Relationships work best when all things in them come from the persons involved, not third parties.

I don't know. I don't want someone petty or overly judgmental. They would probably have to be a lot like me for us to stand each other. They absolutely have to be roughly as smart as I am. You need to be able to have a conversation on the same intellectual level. There was a girl who thought she was smarter than me, and that opinion was there in every conversation, but there was so much she had no understanding of (like the internet beyond facebook).

So how do I make this qt my gf?

Weve been talking a Lot and I think it might be time for the next step. Problem is she's a really busy girl and I dont know how to find time to ask her to do shit together. I dont even want to ask her anymore because she Simply never has time and it might be annoying when I always push the topic.

Note that I dont even ask like for a date just to hang out and do shit together. To be honest I dont think id even be ckmfortable with a real date, you know ging to Dinger at some semi fancy place. It's too official to be ckmfortable for me.

I just want to keep it cool and see where we could go from there.

I'll try to write it down as best as i can. English is not my first language.

I met her at my classes in college. Actually i knew her since at least two years ago, but only in the last semester we started to get close, in a very organic way (with this i mean that it "just happened", i didn't use any PUA tricks or anything like that.) She is maybe a 7/10, although she has only had one boyfriend who left her because she didn't want to have sex. So she was as inexperienced as i was.

We started to get closer and closer, and she started to ask to get together to study and so. We had fun together, she laughed at every single moronic thing i said, and by the way she looked at me i thought she was interested. I was falling in love quite quickly, and i was sure she was too, but i was too much of a pussy to act on it. That, and the fact that because i know mostly everyone in the courses, i didn't want to create an uncorfortable situation between us, because there was the chance that i might be wrong about her liking me.


 No.16255>>16257

>>16254

>contd

So the end of the semester arrived, we had our last midterm tests. We both belong to a relatively big group of friends and we arranged to go the cinema after these tests. While we were somewhere around 15 people to go watch a movie, we ended up being 5. The thing is, she really wanted to go, she even spammed people in our group to please go so she had an excuse to see me. In any case i already have told her that i would have gone one on one with her, and she seemed quite happy with that.

Well, the five of us (this girl included, let's call her M to make this abortion of a story a little less confusing) went to the cinema and then to have some drinks at a pub. After that, we decided to go to a club. I didn't want to go, but M insisted to go to the club, and i ended up accepting. After a while of me failing horribly at dancing, and some half-assed flirting,she said that she wanted to go outside a bit with me to catch some fresh air.

We made out like for two hours, she was really into me . For 2 hours i felt fucking great, the happiest i have been in a long time. I just couldn't believe a girl that i was getting in love with liked me back. It was surreal.

I forgot to tell you, back at the pub, the girls in the group (M and two other girls) went to the restroom, and i asked the remainging guy (who is a friend of her, and is gay) if she liked me. He told me that she had told him that she was extremely happy because i was into him. Going to the club was just an excuse she wanted to have to make out with me.


 No.16257>>16258

>>16255

>contd

At the end of the night, we agreed to see each other again. However, M lives outside the city, and she went to her hometown for two weeks.

She came back because she had to give an exam, only one, but of course i told her to go out Saturday night on the weekend she was here. She agreed, and we went to a little Irish pub that she later told me she loved it.

We had fun, we talked a lot between us, we enjoyed each other company, and again we made out like horny fifteen years old. I left her at ther home, and unfortunately two of the other four girls she lives with found us making out at the door and that kind of killed the mood. But that's ok, sex could wait, after all i had a wonderful night with her, i really had fun with her. I was a happy man.

After this she went out to her hometown again, but just for a week this time. When she came back, she had a birthday party on the saturday of the next weekend, and we had a meet up with our mutual friends on friday.


 No.16258>>16259

>>16257

>contd

So we went to this meet up. She had already told me that she wanted to keep our relationship a secret for the time being, so we acted as if nothing happened between us on that friday. We still had fun, and she told me to see each other again this Sunday.

She had to go and have dinner with his brother who is also studying in the capital city at night, so we agreed to meet at more or less 5 PM. We went and had some coffee, however i noticed she was a little bit colder than usual. On the way back, i tried to kiss her, but then she pushed me away and threw the bomb. I just want to be friends, we are going to be seeing each other too much at college, but i still had a lot of fun with you. No more explanations, i said to still try, that i thought that this was worth the effort, and finally we ended up kissing. I said to try it, and before closing the door on me she said maybe.

I was confused as fuck, didn't know what the fuck to do.


 No.16259>>16260 >>16332

>>16258

>contd

I was extremely confused. I didn't know what to do.

Her male friend (the one who was at the pub with us) spoke to me, he told me it was kind of fucked up, and told me that basically she wasn't that much into me, like that when we talked i didn't care about what she said and vice-versa (lol wut). Not only that, but she told him this all the while crying that she will end up all alone and shit like that. He told me that he didn't know in all honesty if i had chances with her or not. Another friend of mine is helping me with my morale, which frankly isn't the best it can be (although i make it look like i'm OK when i'm with people).

I found out she likes going to museums and stuff like that, so i'm planning to ask her next friday to meet to talk about what's going between us next saturday, i just hope she wants to talk about it and try it out. Or maybe she asks me to talk about it in the spot. Or maybe she tells me to go and fuck myself.

I don't know, i thought we had something nice going on, but i guess good times never last.

Ask me whatever you want, because frankly i don't know what to teach you with this experience.

And sorry if this is a grammatical horror, i'm not used to writing such long posts, and it's even harder to be as cold as possible about something that hits me so hard.

Thank you for your time anons.

Women don't always make sense to normal people.

Maybe she was just afraid of your relationship getting too serious too quickly or something like that. Maybe she's anxious about it and is just trying to run away so she doesn't have to deal with her feelings.

But i don't think this even qualifies for a relationship. It was less than a month, and i didn't even have sex. Ask any random people on the street and i doubt that too many would tell you that such a short thing can be qualified as a relationship.

It's like i had a delicious cake, and all i could do was taste the frosting.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Several of them, although none of them were really very good and most of them were with people who turned out to be crazy, abusive, or at best merely exhausting and incompatible.

>Have you ever been in love?

I don't honestly know anymore. I think I thought so on a few occasions, but now I'm not sure whether I really was or whether I was just lonely.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes. It is absolutely the most awesome thing in the world if it's with someone you're at least comfortable with. It's excrutiatingly unpleasant with someone you're not comfortable with.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I guess I could rattle off a list of characteristics (at least as thin as I am, self-sufficient, intelligent, calm, twisted and irreverent sense of humour, nonreligious, shared political views, small and non-saggy boobs because for some reason any other kind are a turn-off). But I think what I really need is someone who is more complimentary than similar, in a way -- someone who is actually good with emotions and willing to deal with the fact that I'm not; someone who is actually cheerful and energetic and outgoing without being obnoxious about it; someone who actually has some semblance of self-esteem and isn't obnoxious about that either. But I'm speculating, and increasingly, despite the loneliness, I'm not sure I really want another relationship anymore.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Loneliness is not the worst thing that can happen to you, it only feels that way until you learn otherwise the hard way.

Yeah, however I haven't had a relationship in over 5 years at this point.

I thought I was in love a few times, but in reality they were just crushes. I genuinely don't know what love feels like in that sense.

Yeah it was pretty neat

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I'd very much like to date a non-SJW, someone faithful, clever, a girl that's okay with staying in and watching films all night; I'm not the clubbing type so it'd be pointless to date a girl who loves clubbing. It'd be great if she understood that I like to be alone everynow and then.

Oh well, relationships, though topic…

I'm not sure how to put this but, i suffer a little bit every time i go to fap to amateur girls on some thread, you see, it happens that i have this fear that some day on some chan or another website i'm gonna find pics of any of my exes there and it's gonna hurt me, i'm pretty sure that if nudes of any of them exist they wouldn't be anywhere near the sites i frequent but still there's a slim chance of that ever happening and it kills me.

Every fap is dull, predictable, boring and unsatisfying. I just go through the motions, switch hands so as not to find myself having uneven biceps, anyway i die a little every time i think of what i've mentioned before. I think it mostly boils down to some kind of deep rooted fear for abandonment, fear of having everything and then being robbed from all these wonderful things you had, willingly hand someone your soul, your very essence and telling that someone that they may do as they please with it and hope they don't just throw it away.

I've long lost the prospect of pursuing any kind of relationship anymore. It just seems rather pointless, the biggest benefit you get is a wet hole and childbearing but other than that you can get your fullfilment somewhere else, maybe friends, maybe family, maybe your job, whatever works, but the point is that it seems there is much more cost than benefit in regards to relationships, however, even after eschewing that part of my life it still pains me, like a ghost pain, like a longing for a piece of you that maybe was never there. The sad part is that it isn't even a pressing issue for me, the not having/wanting or caring for a relationship, but it still feels like that's a must, that i absolutely need it for some reason, even though i'm perfectly fine with just spending my time doing my job, my passion.

Anyways that was a long rant, i had nowhere else to vent out and i'm sipping whiskey and crying because reasons, also it's rainy.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Yes, many.

>Have you ever been in love?

I think once, but perhaps i was too young or maybe because it was my first love or something

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes, felt as empty as the space and as awkward as spider on high heels

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

N/A

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Yes, don't be a friendgot and sperg over having a relationship when you're still young, focus on other aspects of your life you'll have something interesting to share when you get to be in one.

Anyway thanks /kind/ i hug y'all

That evolutionary drive or instinct is what keeps our species alive. That compulsive desire is difficult to ignore. Stripping away all complexity from our biological existence we have two main directives or objectives:

1. Survive

2. Replicate

Since you seem to be surviving very well objective #2 will now gnaw away at your subconscious.

Yes, i did.

She basically told me that it's over.

She said that i:

-Went a little too fast

-That we are too different

-That i don't listen to her

-That she was just trying things with me, nevermind she was the one who started pursuing me in the first place

And the best part is that at the end of our talk she lectured me about how these things happen a lot and that i should basically just suck it up.

I told her there was a physical spark between us, that i wanted this to go on, but to no avail.

I feel like shit.

In the bible i wrote before, i forgot to tell you about or date on our own. We went out to an irish pub, and damn, was she physical with me. The only reason i didn't have sex is because when we went back to her house the girls she lives with discovered us before doing the thing, and after that she didn't want to do anything else.

I'm confused, a bit angry with myself, but above all sad. I really thought we were compatible, that i found someone who i could just meet to do some simple things together.

Guess it's fapping for now on.

By the way, sorry about taking so long for writing. Yesterday we talked about our relationship, and i was feeling too shitty to come here and write. Thank you for taking your time to read all that i wrote.

It's my fault for getting my hopes up, it's just that i thought because this girls has little to no experience in these things, and doesn't want casual flings, i thought maybe she was gf material. And i was happy when i knew she was into me.

I've met a few steam friends through 8ch who I talk to regularly enough to where it isn't awkward anymore. I've never played a single game with any of them either. The biggest issue I have with most of the people that get added is that we have one conversation and then never talk again, I'll try and start another up another day or so but I'm met with one word replies at best.

I guess just try and not come off as bored or like you don't want to be talking. Constant one word responses, seeming disinterested and always relying on the other person to initiate the conversation usually just leads to them being another number on the friendslist. Maybe it's me that's the problem though, I don't know. I'm always up for a chat with new people.

>opening up to people is scary

Some will be more understanding than others when opening up, I've had some people lay down their entire life story within a few minutes of talking, but since we're cut from the same cloth (/v/), it's easier to accept and understand. At the end of the day, we're all just autists. Saying that, I've never opened up to anyone on steam in a big sense.

Hi. It's >>16970 and >>16332 here (and many other replies are mine)

You shouldn't feel sorry for ressurrecting the thread. It was alive anyway. I'm checking it daily for replies I can sympathise with, and I'll shamelessly "necro" it if anything happens to me in the near future. Which is very likely…

I personally dealt with the crushing gravity of the dark void inside by applying for a summer internship. I've been working this month and will work til the Fall semester starts (and that's when shit gets serious). I can kind of manage not to think about the girl a 100% of the time this way. Of course this gets harder and ahrder as the semester approaches. Outside of work, I think about her a lot, but I try to concentrate on happy things. or things about her that make me happy. I still pray to God every night to keep her safe, for what it's worth.

So try doing something friend. Maybe start jogging, or origami, dunno. Something that helps you tune out of your personal woes for a while.

Hopefully this helps. I'll be back when something noteworthy happens.

I still can't believe she left, i still hope she will turn around. It's this hope that hurts. But it's weird because i realized i actually don't want to lose hope, so in a way i'm being a masochist.

And this 23th it's her birthday, it buggers me that we can't share a nice time. I just wanted to make her happy that day.

No, and I hope I won't be at my current age. S-sorry /kind/, am I too young to p-post here?

>Have you ever been in love?

Many times, and not just in the "puppy love" sense. Every girl I loved, I loved with a burning passion. I felt like I actually loved her and wanted to be with her, not just screw her and move on after a month.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

D-does spooning two of my best male friends as a joke count…?

>What kind of person do you want to date?

Well, my current crush is a person who pretty much fills all my standards: confident, kind, funny, intelligent, artistic, stylish, and somewhat orderly. My only problem with her is that her political orientations don't match up with mine, although that's something I never discussed with her for the sake of retaining our friendship. She also has a Tumblr, but she only uses it to like and reblog "artsy" stuff (she is a self-proclaimed "art hoe", after all)

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

If you feel like you are confident enough to take on such a difficult task, I would seriously advise you to check out NoFap and try it out for about a week or two, maybe even a month. I'm two weeks in, and I have never felt more self-confident and prepared in my entire life. However, you must understand that NoFap is no magic bullet, and you must also work to improve yourself as a person as well. For that I highly recommend >>>/improve/ and >>>/fit/, /r/KaizenBrotherhood, and a website called The Art of Manliness.

I used to be a guy who would come home from school and IMMEDIATELY stay on 8chan from 5 PM to 2 AM. Now I do some morning exercises, take a cold shower, and ride my bike about 20 miles every day. In fact, I made burgers for the first time in my life with no supervision and almost no reference, and they turned out pretty amazing.

To get the girls to pay attention to you, you must first become the person who you would pay attention to. Every day, work on making yourself better than you were yesterday.

You are awesome, anon. You just need to suck all that energy out and replace it with something the whole world would consider beautiful.

Obviously, but a lot of people lack a basic understanding of themselves and they lack confidence. Its really hard to do anything without confidence. Your mind becomes your own worst enemy.

And girls are attracted to confidence. Your chances improve considerably. So within the context of the above explanation, it does work; or at least helps. So its not really garbage.

I'm in a relationship now but I have a few personal issues. I have a hard time not being apathetic about putting forth more effort to ask about their interests and share my own and I know they're pulling a lot of legwork by suggesting things to do and talking about themself, starting conversation and initiating sexual contact.

We're still early on into it but I don't want this to be a one-sided thing where they get tired of me, but I also don't want to not be myself. I have no idea how to approach this and fix it because I've never done it before or heard anyone talk about improving themself in that way before.

The second issue is that I'm afraid of getting burned out due to all the attention they're giving me lately. I love it so much, the attention and being desired, but it's so constant. I'm unused to it and starting to get a little stressed out. How can I get more space without upsetting or offending them? I love them a lot, but I don't feel like I have the mental capacity for this much attention daily and constantly. I know as things go on, we'll drift apart a little naturally and I'll get more space but right now, it feels like my throat is always tight just talking.

I think we're all very similar on this board and that's why we found ourselves here somehow.

You wouldn't want to cool down this passion they have for you. Maybe it's exhausting but it's what young people experience early in relationships, before they get bored with each other. So genuine passion like this is something very valuable and something to be cherished while you still can. On the other hand, pretending that you enjoy something when you're not is just as bad. You should probably find some middle ground.

I experienced something similar to you because before my relationship I'd spend a lot of time alone taking it easy and when it comes to getting intimate, I'd only rarely fantasize about it and only when I was in the mood. So relationship was really exhausting, also because my girlfriend would drag me out of my comfort zone so often

If I remember correctly, we solved this problem when one day we accidentally made this one personality test that gives 4 big letters and we read about synergy between our types and it provoked a conversation during which we explained ourselves all this.

Fuck guys, I need help. I don't know what to do.

I got out of a really abusive relationship about a year ago, and it's been really tough. She was abusive in really every possible sense of the word. Physical, emotional, psychological, it was hell. She was my best friend, I told her all my hopes and dreams, and I had never been in a relationship before so I didn't realize just how bad things were for a long time. When we'd fight over stupid things she'd beat the shit out of me and convince me it was my fault. She'd use my hopes and dreams just to torment me and make me feel small.

She destroyed me emotionally and physically.

Even when I realized all that, I still loved her.

I have this weird, intense stockholm syndrome with her. Even though she ruined my life, physically scarred me, destroyed my ability to create healthy relationships with others, and sent me into a spiraling depression that almost drove me to suicide on four separate occasions I still wanted to forgive her. She was my life, the only bits of joy I felt for a long time, even through all the abuse. Cutting her off was tough.

To finally get away and free myself from her, I had to move a thousand miles away. Even the distance wasn't enough; I kept in contact with her because it was too painful to be away from her. It took me two years of not seeing her face to finally have the strength to cut her out of my life.

Then today, a picture of her showed up on my facebook wall.

She doesn't have a facebook, but she was with someone I used to know that I keep in touch with. Before I knew it, I was searching all over for her, desperately scraping for any glimpse of her face I could. I spent 6 hours just staring, all the memories and pain and joy came flooding back all at once. All my work, undone.

I don't know what to do guys, I don't want to contact her again, then things would only get worse. At the same time, I just want to touch her again, to smell her and feel her close to me. But I know that would only lead to more pain and misery down the road. I'm lost and alone. Please help.

Go to a strip club or a massage parlor. Preferably in that order to determine if the first one helps. Also you don't necessarily need to waste money on lap dances or anything. Just buy a beer, enjoy the scenery and drink that first beer really slowly.

You seem far too attached to that old succubus. Your eyes need to be see that the world is full of succubi and that there it is no great loss.

Take it all as a lesson. In the future you will be more guarded in your relationships and will set better boundaries. Even in healthy relationships boundaries are important.

Considering she is in your classes and all that stuff, you must be prepared in case things go wrong, because then you will feel very akward in those classes.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Not exactly. Talked to two girls online before but wasn't really a relationship because of how things turned out. I managed to "date" my crush, though that lasted two weeks and I found out it wasn't all as it seemed so I don't consider that a relationship.

>Have you ever been in love?

Yes, Once. One of the girls I met online thought she changed, things took a turn for a worse. My love slowly turned to a strong dislike.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

No. I don't believe I have.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

Someone who is loyal, committed, smart, funny, organized(because i suck with organization), loves me for me and has similar interests. I'm not necessarily picky I guess but she has to be a genuinely nice person with a 0 body count.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Partially follow this in the sense that you want to be with someone because its what you want instead of for validation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXsDzjJl8zE

Don't give your time to someone who wouldn't give you a second of theirs.

Be somewhat confident and go for it. The "crush" i got with told me she was proud of me for manning up and talking to her by myself.

I'm inexperienced, somehow people always end up asking me for advice on things but be sure what you do is what you want. Don't always trust some peoples advice, everyone is different. What worked for them may not work for you. Do what you want but most importantly, YOUR happiness is more important that the GIRLS/GUYS happiness. Don't force yourself through hurt and sadness trying to make someone happy when they don't and wont even make you happy.

She played me like a damn fiddle, so when I found out (today) I asked about it and I immediately noticed, since she was making excuses, so I knew I was right.

Coincidentially all her talk about finding a guy and how she said it would be someone like me, she starts going out with one of our classmates (who broke up with her gf less than a week ago).

All in all she got what she wanted, manipulated a stupid guy into being her little experiment and got the guy she was infatuated with for some time.

There is something beautifully tragic about being cucked by shallow validation-seeking girl. I know some men get off being cucked but I don't mean I'm fascinated by it this way. I'm more fascinated by the woman's side of things. I imagine a girl cucking a guy for the sake of improving her social status and it makes me think of imagery like decomposition of a pig while Wagner plays in the background, you get what I mean. And then there is this thing that it's men who programmed women to be concerned with looks and social status after all. Which makes things even more tragic. I'd fantasize about these things when I was younger

Until recently, only royalty or high ranking families would actually have high social status. Very very few could actually gain social status. Status was more stationary, in that you were either born high or low.

It was the advent of technology and widespread education that allowed for there to be a great equalization of all peoples.

It was also the advent of technology that allowed more women into the workforce. Prior to the advent of advanced tech, most jobs required stamina, strength and dexterity. Therefore, the workplace required more men. From this male workforce, very few men, only the very top apex man, (i.e. a scientist or geniuses) would actually be able to climb socially. And to remind you, since education was not free and open to the masses, it was typically only families with above average social standing that could afford education or training.

A women's status was typically determined by her family. If she moved up it was by marriage. But men generally did not have much chance to advance socially either.

I'm not asexual but I've not fallen in love in like 8 years.

I'd like to though, I just can't seem to find a girl who I can safely fall in love with.

I've got no real problem with this though, since it allows one to avoid a lot of problems, but still.

Also women's body disgust me if it is not ultra-clean like in animes. I must be really insecure somewhere.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

No

>Have you ever been in love?

In highschool and stuff, not real love I think, so no

I've been cuddled but I feel too embarrassed to cuddle back

The reason why its so is the result of sexual dimorphism and the desire for an individual to pass on their genes.

For women , appearance and where one stood in the social pecking order were important indicators of good genes , and thus a good mate.

Same here bro. My list of requirements to even consider a relationship really isn't unreasonable.

> not stupid (doesn't have to be smart, but needs to understand the general idea of what I say)

To put it lightly, pick 2.

I thought, at first, my problem was that my standards were unreasonable. To an extent, that was true; I'm not going to find a smart, hot supermodel who isn't a cunt. The problem is even having realistic standards doesn't change anything. Even "realistic" women are borderline mythical.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

No

>Have you ever been in love?

I thought I was in love during pre-school, nothing came of it of course.

When I was in first grade, on separate occasions, the fourth grade twins down the street forced me to kiss them. They both ended up as trailer trash with kids while I was still in highschool…

Most recently, about 5 months ago I was convinced this girl from school was all but perfect. We texted daily during the start of summer break and she seemed in to me. Then I realized I had no sexual attraction for her at all and that she was closer to a sister I wanted to protect than anything. I tried fapping to her multiple times and could barely get it up. We still text and I should be seeing her next week.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

no unless you count my body pillow I cuddle with every night to stay warm

Onodera is objectively almost exactly how I would described her. including the hair style

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

I have only ever seen heterosexual relationships end in misery, either because they get broken off in some devastating fashion or because of kids. My gay friends always seem to be happy, but they are never with the same person for more than a few months.

I'm kidding, guys, if you want to have a relationship you have to meet people and go out with people. Join as many groups as you can, and meet as many people as you can. Try to go out with them, get emails, phones, fb, etc… find one that you feel is special and ask her/him out.

It's kind of ridiculous but I'm a super shy nerd and the only way I ended up asking out my current gf was telling to myself that it doesn't mattered if I screw things up with her, she was just part of a social group that I could avoid and that's it. No awkwardness.

Met him by chance at /cuteboys/, and turns out that he's the cutest, most adorable thing. He's competent in what he does, has dreams for the future and a plan to reach them, is super loving and shy and antissocial, has excellent taste in animu and music and vidya, is kind and delicate and has this soothing posture and those eyes that make me melt inside. Even his flaws are cute and his mistakes are adorable, aah.

The thing I like most about him is that feeling of sincere purity in everything he does. Now, I don't mean it being proper never-touched-before slow-paced-missionary-position pure, but I mean it in the sense that everything he does - even lewd and silly and dirty and proper pure things - he does it with such sincere innocent intention and careless joy and… Purity is the only word that makes it justice. Pity we're now 15 bus-hours away from each other.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Before anything else, learn to be comfortable with yourself: Understand what you do, why you do and how, and how to stop sabotaging your own attempts at being happy. You don't want to waste what may be your great chance of fiding and holding a qtbf/gf close, do you? Not with recursive behavior from childhood traumas, right?

After you've done that, establish your dreams and goals, and work towards them. This must not be confused with "be yourself", most of all if you do consider yourself worthless at the moment, but be understood as becoming bigger than yourself, channeling your energies towards building something greater and improving into something better, creating value for yourself through practical action, trying to reach for that aura of shining industry and purpose and grandiose promise.

Set up the thing you want to do the most, set up your values as a base to build upon, and try to reach your dreams with impeccable integrity, determined competence and unbreakable will; find a passion of yours and stick to it with the same love and admiration you'd give yourself, or the person you love.

That is what I tend to like the most about people - even people I disagree with: Their dreams and desires and goals, and the way their eyes sparkle when they talk about something they really, truly like. It makes them stand pretty and makes me look up to them. It's something that just demands the same kind of respect I expect to find in a healthy relationship.

I've only found my husbando after getting really comfortable with myself and working really hard towards my goals, and those productive goals have been excellent in keeping me well away from drifting to selfsabotland, so I'd say this was the single most important thing for me.

Lots of things. We met when we were 23, got married at 25. In retrospect, we were maybe a bit young, didn't know each other long enough. Mismatched in some important ways.

I'm very driven in my career. Him, not so much. I made all the money, which didn't bother me too much in theory. Except that I didn't have much say in how it was spent. We were always in debt, never had enough despite my decent salary. In the beginning I tried to be involved in our finances, but he would get angry and yell if I budgeted or asked questions. If I put milk and eggs on my debit card, he'd ask for a receipt. To be completely honest though, I could have lived with this.

When I met him, I would have described him as a moderate social drinker. That increased heavily. By the end, it was hard to be around him, he was always angry and sometimes incoherent. I t didn't matter too much though because he was never home.

The worst was that even before the marriage, he had stopped being physically intimate with me. If I begged and cried, he said I was being pushy. He would explode if I pushed it further.

This paints an ugly picture, but it wasn't all bad. He was in general, kind. We had similar interests and many adventures and good times. My family liked him. We loved our pet cats. But the missing parts hurt more and more as time went on. I had no one to talk to, no friend, no lover. I felt trapped. I came home from work, ate dinner by myself, went to the gym, internet-ed and went to sleep almost everyday. He was there, floating around the edges of my life, but I was alone. By the end, I was daydreaming that the house we lived in would just burn down and all my problems with it. I was 28 then.

In the end, I'm sad to say, I cheated on him. And he found out and it blew up. And then I left. It was really shitty and cowardly of me. I could have left any time without the whole fucking around thing. I was so surprised that he even cared, since he flat-out refused to touch me at all.

Time goes by though. We're officially divorced now. Still text from time to time to check in. I'll always care about him. He's not doing so well. His drinking problem is really screwing up his health and he's put on a lot of weight.

After a year of hating myself for what I did to him, I'm starting to feel better, that I can be a better person and learn from my mistake. In a much happier relationship now, and always working towards being a better partner and a better person.

I'm sorry this happened to you. You sound like a bona fide nice person. It actually made me a little scared, because I'm 27 and the girl I'd like to marry someday is only 23. I don't know if we'd be too young to do it, on the 1% chance it happens, as we're kind of taking a break.

I think I finally found peace with living my life alone without a gf.

Sure, I could never get one if I wanted one but now that I accepted never getting one I let go of wanting one.

It feels so damn great. Besides, there's nothing a woman could ever do to make my life better so there's no reason to have one.

Although I am aware of the fact that there might be harder times where I might feel lonely but those will be temporary.

I will now spend my energy on defining my skills so I can get a good job and then I will live out the rest of my life being good at what I do with no woman dragging me down.

In short "get money, fuck bitches".

Love isn't a real thing anyway, just chemicals so it's not a big deal that I'll never experience it. If I want some feel good chemicals floating through my system I can always turn to drugs.

There's literally no reason to get into a relationship.

And sex? Fuck that shit too. Normalfriends make it out as something ooohh sooo important but they're stupid as fuck. It's just some evolutionary drive embedded into us. Nothing more. We are evolved enough as a species that we could simply let go of it and start having kids the new, improved way by breeding them in laboratories.

More importantly though is the fact that you can't miss what you don't know. And I don't even know what I am missing out of so it's of no importance to me.

I hope you friends will see the truth as clearly as I do right now.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Yeah, one. She was abusive as hell but I stuck with her for three years. Was too young to know what she did to me was that abnormal. When I was finally old enough and wise enough to understand what was going on I ran. Still have feelings for her I guess, but I kow staying around her would've just led to me getting hurt more.

>Have you ever been in love?

Call it stockholm syndrome, but yes. I love her. I'm really bad at the whole "hate" thing. If it wasn't healthier for me to have left I probably would have stayed.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Friends. I knew this one kid who was homeschooled, so he was one of those touchy-feely kids, and whenever we'd hang out in groups and stuff during the winter he'd snuggle up next to me. Same thing happened with a couple girls I was friends with but nothing romantic.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I'm looking for someone smart enough to follow the stuff I say. Sounds high and mighty, but really I'm not asking for much. It's not that I have any sort of superior intellect or any of that bullshit, women are just generally stupid. I'm also looking for someone with a sense of humor and kind disposition. Not having those things really fucked me with the last girl.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

If a girl doesn't meet all your standards, don't bother. If your standards are unrealistic, you probably aren't mature/self-aware enough for a girl yet. If they are realistic, you'll thank me later.

Since we're kind of kindred spirits I bet you know I'm hoping she's going to change her mind after she comes back (I kind of suspect this exchange student program was the biggest impact on her saying no).

As per making friends, who should I befriend ASAP out of these (strictly friendship, 0 romantic intentions, not now or ever):

-the "free spirit" of the course (sleeps around with 3-4 older men simultaneously), but also a down-to-earth nice person and you can talk to her about anything. The con is that she is also a very good friend of my crush, they will surely keep in contact.

-the career-focused guy, who I have many common hobby-tier interests with (we are also the top two students). The con is that the friendship very likely won't last past Uni.

-literally the nicest guy I ever met, heads a small Baptist congregation (not a pastor though), and they would genuinely accept me there even though I'm Catholic. Con: my crush is also a Baptist and they all know her very well (not necessarily her friends).

I really don't think you should be thinking in terms of who you should or must befriend. Try talking to people (i know it can be hard as fuck, but in a college setting you will end up talking to people, wheter be the people you sit next to in classes or whatever), and try to not be an asshole. If this sounds too shallow, i can write more in depth about this, just tell me to do so.

This doesn't mean you can't try to befriend people because, for example, someone is very good at what you are studying and by being a friend of him or her you might get tips as to what to study and the like. I did befriend people because of these things, and they ended up being cool people, so i kept on being friends.

Prioritize getting some good, reliable male friends. They tend to be more trustworthy than woman, and in generally you will be able to rely on them when you need shit done or whatever.

Personally i never had female friends, i end up liking them or they do end up liking me to be something more than friends. If you really, really can keep things platonic, then try, but she might not be able to keep things platonic.

Sorry if this is a little bit disorganized, i have been studying all day and i'm feeling retarded right now, but i really want to help you. So reply to this if you want to talk more.

I took some time to read about those people you mentioned, and i will give you my opinion (i'm >>18189).

Being friends with those who are very good friend with your crush might be akward, on the other hand it COULD, only could, help you with your crush because they might speak good of you to her. However, this won't help if the girl already decided she doesn't like you.

I don't trust too much those free spirit women, but if she is as nice as you say, then maybe it might be worth a shot.

The career focused guy seems like a good choice, if you both are doing very well in your courses, and you both share the same interest, you might have a good recipe not only for a good friendship, but also someone who could get you a better job or even someone to start something with.

The baptist sounds like a good person. I have a friend who is a practicant Catholic, and he is an extremely nice person. If he really follows the christian doctrine of love the other and all of that, he might be a good friend. On the other hand, maybe if you have too many differences about how you both view life and so forth you might find it harder to find common ground for a friendship to grow.

The pothead girl… i don't know, these kind of people can be good to be around, but sometimes can be a bit boring, even more if their idea of fun is gathering with friends just to smoke pot. I had friends that started doing pot frequently and that was all they did, for two or three whole years. They stopped, but damn, was that boring.

The nihilist chick seems like a good choice, and sharing the same humour it's always a good thing to have in a friendship. Seriously, it will make your relationship much better.

As you might see, i'm not strongly against any of them. Thing is, friendships aren't that complicated as relationships with women and all that shit, so the people you should avoid are those who are shitty people, or something like that.

Long time I haven't been in /kind/, and since I think it's better than /adv/ and relatively faster, I want your advice and some empathy.

See, I have a sister, and we kind of have a incestuous relationship that started exactly the last year. Now I don't see her often since she lives far away, and we haven't even had sex, but we fool around a lot, but 2 problems came out of this, surprisingly any of them is a moral problem.

1) I didn't have a lot of confidence in myself before, but now I even have less. My sister think is funny to make fun of me and compare me with other guys. That just hurt me a lot, and I have confidence issues among other things. Also, to contribute, the reason I haven't been able to have sex with her is because I just can't find a way to penetrate her. I've tried since the first time, but without success. That just make me feel like a failure of a man, considering that I'm still virgin.

2) She's, apparently, a whore. Not entirely sure if she had sex with other persons, which wouldn't surprise me at this point, but a "friend" of her sent nudes of her to a lot of people, including me. That just sank me in more depression at the point that I cannot stand the sight of my sister anymore. We shared room, so I just moved to a room really really far from her until she have to go again. This also make me feel kind of guilty, what if this is my fault? So I have not only failed as man, but as brother.

Now, I don't even know what I want. I guess I just want some advice in what should I do now. I guess I just hate my sister by now, like I hate one of my previous "girlfriends", and I know that, by now, our relationship can't be the same as it was before all of this happened.

tl;dr: My sister is an unkind person and it really hurts.

 No.18494>>18541

I had a dream where I visited the house of an old girlfriend (my only one). When I went inside, I came across her mother, who handed me a newspaper clipping saying that she had committed suicide. After I read it, we both cried together. It was quite a shock, because within the dream I experienced the weird feeling of someone just "not being there" anymore. The horrid juxtaposition of a vivid memory of someone and the reality of their non-existence. They are there in your head, but they are not.

It was all just a dream, but I felt that I should text her and ask to see her again. But then I remembered that we left on not-so-good terms. So should I? After all, it's just a stupid dream that doesn't mean anything…but I still have hesitations.

This is bad advice. Leave it well alone. Her death might mean that she is truly gone from your life now and you two are on divergent paths.

If you do want to see how she is going, just contact her directly. Do not do it through someone else. Why the mother of all people? That is dumb. Find out from a mutual acquaintance or something.

Then I should rephrase myself and say that normalfriends can be boring, but I suppose that's because I find most of the things normalfriends find interesting boring. They usually don't have hobbies or anything to be passionate/obsessive about and tend to follow trends because other people do. I'm not saying they're horrible people or anything like that, indeed they can be quite nice, it's just they mostly can only enjoy things on the surface level and never really delve deeper into things.

Maybe they do have it good as they seem to be content with what they have, but personally I like having little things to be passionate about and I don't really care what other people think about what I do. I just like having my individual freedom.

Hey man, I'm checking in again. It feels good to share what's going on here with you. First week is over, "our" friends behaved like they're still my friends, although I'm pretty sure some of them will be relaying what I tell them to my girl crush in France. The nihilistic chick surprised me, because she was the friendliest of them all, even went to have lunch together (I reckon she feels sorry for me, she was one of those who were rooting for me+girl to happen).

I joined an amateur theatre play on the Gospel of Mark, as the Baptists welcomed me back as well. I really should go on social media soon because of this, but I get a little sick every time I think about going there. I think I'm subconsiously afraid she unfriended me since I last logged in, or wrote some even bigger bullshit than the last time we "spoke".

In the meantime, I guess I'll be the same friendly nice guy I was when she was around. Man, being in love is the worst and best thing isn't it. The career focused guy is still friendly, but right now he's got his hands full with his own gf problems.

Anything happening over there? I'm always here to listen.

I don't know. She is now extremely nervous around me, to the point that we would say that she is spillin /r9k/ tier spaghetti.

However, yesterday and today she even avoided greeting me when we met, it's like if i did something bad to her or something, and in turn it makes me feel like shit. She did this when in public, but if we meet alone on college she comes over and greets me, so i don't know what is going on with her.

Doing this won't solve our problems just like that, but think that you're not giving evil the satisfaction of an easy win. Keeps me going.

Yesterday i had to present an exercise to the class (it's some weird teaching method in which we are divided in groups and made to solve an exercise in front of the class) and she avoided looking me in the eye all the time. The few times she did she looked startled and inmediately looked down. It's almost as if she were afraid of me.

>>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I'm getting married in January to a lady I enjoy being around. She's fun and sweet and a realist who is OK with my foibles, but makes me want to improve myself.

>>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Most basic relationship advice sounds really trite, but it's mostly true. Be yourself (If you don't like who you are, >>>/improve/ ) is the best advice I could give. You don't want to get into a relationship with someone who isn't being real, so you shouldn't either. If you find someone who likes you as you, that's what you want.

Also, meet people in general. Relationships shouldn't be the end goal, but an aside to living life. Meet lots of people, make real friends if you don't have any, make more if you do. You might hate people, but lots of people hate people, so you can all get together and hate people as a group.

There's so much "Advice" but it won't always work, because relationships are two people that are different from every other person. Try to have fun in life, someone will see you having fun, and want to join in. Fuck, I didn't even remember my girlfriends name the first and second time we met, and if you'd have told her she'd be marrying me, she'd call you crazy.

Lastly, don't settle. Don't end up with someone you can't stand being around, which so many people do. It's not worth it, and you're better than that.

 No.18936

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Twice, both serious. One ended because she wanted the "college experience" (being a slut) and an open relationship and I refused, and the other was actually pretty organic. We just began to feel more and more apart and eventually mutually decided that this was enough.

>Have you ever been in love?

Twice. Once it was transformed into burning, all-encompassing hate. I think it was actually stronger than the love I felt for her. My first ex told me all about how she loved me, but wanted to try sleeping with other guys, and would I wait for her to be done experimenting, etc. That's when I exploded with rage. I had never been so furious. I kicked her out immediately lest I do something worse. I'm not a violent person, it was just that bad, it was that deep a betrayal to me. With time it mellowed out but suffice to say we are not in contact anymore.

Second time was much more amiable and reasonable (just like the girl herself was much more amiable and reasonable than the first one, truth be told) and we're still on friendly terms.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Well, yeah.

I've often been frustrated that I felt I was permanently single. I still am. But I don't care. You don't need someone else to create happiness in your life. Create your own happiness. Do whatever it takes. If the alternative is taking your life, then you have nothing to lose!

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Technically yes, nothing lasted more than a week thanks to me and my autist tendencies.

>Have you ever been in love?

Yes, she was kind of naive but in a cute funny way. She hated it but secretly loved it when I tickled her and annoyed the fuck out of her in advanced statistics class. I wanted to take stat to polish my college application, not sure why she took it but both she and her friend were taking it. They weren't very confident and I was being my usual douche-baggy self, then there was king douche, but we were all shitposters and frequented /v/ so plenty of inside jokes.

I was completely obsessed with her hair, ontop of her being beautiful. I'm 6'2 she must be around 5'10 with shoes, so just right for me. Long brown reddish hair, beautiful brown eyes, literally big perky tits and a slender body with a proportionate round booty. WouldThrowAwayMyMoralsAndMarryHer/10 easily. She would let me braid her hair during class sometimes and taught me how, teasing how I sucked at it at first. Her friend knew I liked her and she hinted at the fact that I should ask her to prom.

I ended up going to prom last minute with some psycho bitch who won the town beauty pagenat, score right? Nope. She was boring, couldn't dance, I was autist and didn't have fun, hated prom, worst time ever. There weren't many songs I can dance to but I could dance some salsa/samba after being forced to. I asked for one more song at the end, she was there, one of the last people on the dance floor, I was by the door, and only a few people lingered behind. She was kind of looking around, almost looking for a partner and I knew she wanted to dance. My only regret in life was not going back, and dancing with her. She even told me herself that she wanted to dance, later, when we were outside. I said we could dance one time in class but we both knew that was it, and we never did. We went our separate ways, and now I'm a bipolar college drop out trying to get my life back together. I've gained weight, my health is poor, mental and physical, my father is bankrupt, and I just got fired from my construction job after getting hurt and not being able to continue, I snapped.

And thats why I hate myself. I miss her.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

No one I've wanted to. Got raped by a girl once.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I don't think I want to date anyone ever. Ever. I know I'm going to be alone, so I'll major in Biotech and continue my studies.

Face any doubts you have head on and deny your own passive nature (if you are passive by nature). If you're looking for happiness in someone else you wont find it. You'll just be broken repeatedly until you're beyond repair.

>Have you ever been in love?

I believe I've been, yes. Being in love is basing your life off a stupid little bet you've taken with another person, that you will share your life with them if they do the same, for as long as both of you feel you can do it. If you believe it very hard, you are in love. And I have made that bet at least 3 times in the past. It is always a pleasant experience, it does bring out the best in you.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes! I have the odd habit of coupling up with women who are shorter and also more muscular *and* chubbier than me, a six foot tall skeleton. Cuddling after lewdtimes is the best sort of couple's therapy, I've worked out serious issues with girls in the afterglow because people's psyche is always a lot more malleable when exposed to a great heat. Not unlike metal, you see!

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

Mmm… I wanna date someone that can look at me, the whole of me, and still say "there is something worth fighting for in that mess". Seriously, just that. If that hope is kept alive, I'll be in love forever, and so will she.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

You don't need to be perfect to be in a relationship. You merely have to be what you are, believe that you can give something to the other person, and hope that they earnestly do the same. Don't be afraid to bare your heart to others, after all, the worst case scenario would be the two of you feeling the same and never acting on it.

Humans are meant to be born out of love, and make love in their own life to continue the cycle. Don't fight your fate. Dare to love.

Fourth because she didn't feel like she could give me the attention I deserved because of all the extracurricular shit she did. She's a stripper married to one of her clients with a kid now. 5th just left me two weeks ago. She "(wasn't) happy with this relationship any more".

Never tell them you like them in any way other than in person, socialize, if your invited somewhere, fight the anxiety that nobody is interested in you, you have to create that, but dont force it, say things, but dont be weird, and NEVER let anyone take you down a peg, have witty comments, it is always much safer to talk to guys than it is girls, start a conversation with the dudes, and when they accept you, you have passed the first stage of female acceptance,

after this you cant bullshit at all, or have to be very good to pass it off, be arrogant, if the girls are tryna make you look bad in any way, respond with either relaxed dismissal of their comments, or equal dissaproval of their actions

never raise the stakes and be an outright dick to them. always play it cool, and if you even think theyre into you, go in for kiss, and if doesnt work, say you were just really drink

drink

take care of your appearance, this means be clean, wear clean clothes, smell nice, have nice teeth, get haircuts every 3 or 4 weeks to keep up appearances

cut nails, not bitten, acne is not as big a deal as you think it is, but clean your face often and invest in a stockpile of canned fish like sardines and salmon and eat it regularly, this will help

make eye contact,

never let on to anyone you feel unconfortable in social situations

never reveal any of your weaknesses

deal with your problems, and dont stick your head in the sand

dont message girls, it is a waste of time unless they start the conversation

dont read their messages until hours later, and only ever reply with about as much writing as they did or less,

generally put equal or less effort they have into the relationship, and concentrate on work / studying / sports / whatever mainly

never let them distract you from that stuff unless your 99% certain you will get some

this is a lot of stuff for someone who hasnt had that much luck, but believe me, on my course at university i could have any of the 10/10's anytime i wanted, i choose not because we have tight group of friends, and the other guys who went there got rekt by it, they WILL always gang up on you if you bed any of them

>make friends with them and go for their friends you dont interact with or see that much

this is what i do, with semi success

A few actually, yeah. I tend to prefer just being friends with benefits, however.

>Have you ever been in love?

No. I love my family and such, but I've been in love in love. And honestly, the thought of being in love kind of scares me.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Multiple people, yeah. It is the best thing

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I'm not really looking for a partner at the moment because I desperately want to improve how I look first, but if I was I'd probably want a more down-to-earth kind of girl.

She's a very cheerful, positive, kinda tomboyish girl, a lot like pic related in some ways. She's been my friend for years, helped me get out of a depression after my ex left me last year, and we fell for each other.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Find people who are into the same hobbies as you, even if they're more "normal" than you. I met all my current friends at my college's anime club, there are of course some cringy people but most are decent even if their tastes aren't always /a/-tier, and cute girls too.

Hello, I have a few years of school left. I never asked a girl out for anything so I have zero experience with girls. Ever since I was a freshman I Always wanted to ask a girl out who I knew ever since I was 3-ish years old and she is the only girl that I know of who had an interest in me. I tried finding info on the internet but all I found was crap. I don't have any friends who can help and I am thinking of just not having any relationships at all. How should I start this relationship with her and how do I keep it going? P.S. She is a year older then me so that gives me less time. -Thanks

Sadly, if she already doesn't consider you dating material already, then you are probably fucked. Probably the best thing you could do is hang out with her more outside of school and try dating one of her friends that hasn't met you before.

If you are still in school then you probably shouldn't worry about never having a relationship. There is still plenty of time for you; try out a hobby that forces you to meet new people.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Twice, by my count. (The second one was brief, and she probably wouldn't have called it a relationship.)

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes.

I'm pretty done with dating for the time being. So no kind.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

I don't think I would be the person to ask, but in my case I think I became a whole lot happier when I stopped looking. If something happens, it happens, if it doesn't, don't let it hang over you.

Just ask her out. Don't over think it.

"Hey, do you want to go get some ice cream/ go see that __ movie/ grab a coffee/ go roller blading/ bowling/ etc. "

Worse case scenario, nothing changes, but you gain exp points and at least you can move on now and stop idolizing that girl.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Not one to tell since I currently have a track record of being rejected… but I suppose theres one. If you have a slight gut feeling that the girl is either crazy or not who she is, cut all contact. Its not worth it. I'm still mad at that one girl.

I want a woman who would make me feel loved and warm and secure like a child in his mother's embrace, kept safe from the crushing weight of the world

It's not even a kink or a fetish, or something that I'd expect to go on forever, but I really really need to experience it. It's the only way I am ever going to feel secure enough to reconnect with the part of me that is afraid of everything. It's the only way I'll be able to heal and grow, to stop limping through life and start making strides forward. I don't know what I could do to be deserving of having someone so kind and caring and nurturing and generous and compassionate in my life, but it is the only thing I desire in all the world.

I mean this in the /kind/est possible way to provide a harsh criticism, get off your high horse, and don't think of yourself as above or better than anyone if you're in a position to reject. Just say you're not into them and move on.

Don't ask someone out for the sole purpose of having a relationship to show off. Being single doesn't make you a loser, and if you are having a bf or gf does not make you less of one. And it's mean ask someone out just to use them as a placeholder.

I need someone who needs me as much as I need them. Someone who feels like half of a whole despite spending so many years trying to stand on their own. Someone who feels like they're broken or useless but knows deep down that if they found the right person they could be happy. Someone who needs that person in order to feel okay, to be complete, to feel good about herself, to feel emotionally secure, to function at the level of a competent adult, to grow beyond the person their childhood made them, to finally answer that deepest yearning they've felt since their earliest memories, to give them purpose and meaning and redemption.

here's something about that true feeling of love that happened to me

back in little school old chibi loser me sitting with his chums teacher announces new student is a girl,

>get really annoyed couldn't get another lad to join the bants

>she comes in

>…

its been so many years, yet its the most prominent memory and practically only of that time, and i could still remember what i felt.

its like every time she walked into the room whatever mood i was in just would change to this euphoric state like i was under sudden morphine or something. very weird. I don't remember anything else but that feeling, our first encounter, and her giving me a sherbet candy as a present.

i (sort of) caught up with her at the end of high school for me, someone posted a school photo online and there she was, in the comments too. the last time i contacted her. she left school for the chibi only 2 years after she came. turns out she moved to a far away town with the rest of her family.

bad ending, she turned into someone i would normally avoid from first appearances, and i didn't get the same fluttery feeling i get when i looked at her recent photos. it hurt.

we now have separate lives(obviously) far away from each other. the only thing i got from that was a severe distrust for people who used the term love towards someone else. for a time it felt like i was the only person in existence who felt like that.

oh we had the same birthdays too, if fate was involved here. in our assemblies we had a part for everyone's birthdays to show to the rest of the school (it was a small school)

oh its about relationships? keep your heads screwed its coming..

still affected my current and future relationships on the topic of love. she uses it but i find it hard to see she felt anything like i did, now the word feels meaningless between us and its getting me irate.

I need your help friends.

I have this girl who I fool around with and have a great time with.

Thing is on Friday we had an exam, about 20 minutes before going in to take said exam we were hanging out outside the classroom.

What happened is that a dude who we share some classes with us was outside, we 3 talked a bit and then I went to the bathroom.

I came back and we continue to talk, then I started texting some friends while they talked. What came after came as a big surprise, she went ahead and sit on this dudes lap (the same guy she says she finds disgusting and wouldnt let him touch a hair) and starts talking to him while I'm sitting next to her (close to a meter).

That situation not only disgusted me a bi but what came after was what pissed me off, she said: "you have some strong legs, you must have a lot of fiber, if I sat on Anons lap I would surely break them".

I was flabbergasted and didnt know what to say, but luckily I was called to give the exam (alongside her).

After all that we went both home after waving at our classmates.

I dont know what to do, should I vent this with her because I don't want to sound really possessive since we're not in a relationship, we fool around at most and that situation really pissed me off. I dont know if that could constitute as cuckoldry since we dont have romantic feelings.

Im getting together with her on Tuesday, what should i tell her or better yet, how should I put it to let her know im pissed but not drop all my spaghetti and start throwing in her face everything I dislike about her?

>Do you have any advice for anons looking to get into a relationship?

You have to be the strong one in the relationship, do not feel afraid to put your foot down when she does something wrong, if she's hypocritical about something then call her out on it. Always try to understand their point of view but if they cross a line then let them know they fucked up. If they ever cheat on you then dump them on the spot. They are not worth your time if they think they can throw away everything just for a night of dickings.

I'm an amoral "the ends justify the means" kind of person, and my partner is not too different from your typical moralfriend. Needless to say, we get into arguments about morality quite frequently, and I was wondering if anyone had some insight on how to reconcile differing moral views in a relationship?

Your personality dictates, anon.

I lost my virginity to a whore when I was 16. At the time, I was a more romantic type of guy and was expecting something with more emotional envolvement, so just the sex, without kissing, was 'weird'(but I did enjoy it).

If you're a guy that's looking just for the sweet feeling of the vagina and the fucking, might be a great experience, if you're more romantic, might not like it that much.

I'm older now, and I don't really have the same romantic fantasies, so I love having sex with escorts when I'm not dating anyone. Prostitution it's not against the law where I live, so it makes things easier.

What I would love to find some day is somebody who is low maintenance, doesn't go out to drink, enjoys a date of pizza and video games. Wants to give their heart and love with everything they have.

I would also like to find them cute, which is fairly easy I can do that with most people. Good personality who I can enjoy being with. If long distance, somebody who would relocate. I'm fine with daring transgirls as well as traps who are heavily feminine as long as there personality is alright, in my past they were more accepting of me so I do like dating them.

AaaaaaAA!!

She's just depressed and ashamed and too exhausted to deal with a relationship. It has nothing to do with you at all. Just give her some space for now. Maybe send her a short message every 2-3 days, something light that doesn't put her under more pressure. Don't mention your emotions or the relationship, just let her know how you're thinking of her and talk to her normally but in an undemanding way that doesn't require a response. If you're not blocked, she probably reads everything you send her, although you might not get an answer.

Just being there for her without being judgemental or pushy will mean a lot to her. You might want to smother her with help now but when someone is depressed and self-harming like that they want and need to be able to help themselves. Just be patient. She'll come around and talk to you again eventually, but only when she's ready.

But let her know you realize she needs space for whatever reason right now and that you're still there for her.

/kind/, I need your help.

So I have a female friend, I'm really close to her. We're practically family at this point, she sees me as a parental figure and calls me mom even though I'm a guy.

One thing about her is that she also pretty open about her sexuality. She also has a huge sex drive and talks casually about lewd things and her own sexual habits, she talks to me about this normally because she knows I'm a fellow lewdie. Though granted I'm not as open about it as she is, hazukashi you know.

Case in point, she told me yesterday "lol anon, I suddenly want to take out my sexual frustration on *her ex (which is also my best friend, I knew her from him)*".

Our relationship is strictly platonic mind you, so talking about this is all fine and dandy, I mean I talk about this sort of stuff with my online friends too (who are fellow sickos too). She sees me as nothing but a really close friend, and I feel the same.

The problem is, perverted girls are my fetish. What should I do?

Back in middle school, I always walked home after school (a 10-15 minute walk, but on steep upwards roads). A really cute girl- light eyes, pale skin, nasal voice, freckles, long hair halfway between blonde, red and brown, 100% Italian ancestry, Italian-speaking, had been to Europe and was from a good middle class family- studied in my school, a grade below me, and just happened to move to a house near mine (mine's on a hill, so I could actually peek on her house sometimes) and follow 90% of the same road towards home.

At first, I, young and with almost no sexual or romantic impulses, didn't talk to her, despite seeing her almost everyday on the way home. A while later, I approached her and we became almost-friends, chit-chatting on the road. I did find her pretty. She never seemed to care about me, though. I do remember a few instances of talking to her in the afternoon by shouting, from my house to hers. In fact, she (and an ugly friend who was there to play) began these small and short conversations. Once, if my memory isn't too bad, she even invited me in, and I stupidly refused.

The conversations on the way home became less and less frequent, almost stopping.

Fast forward to years later, and I had already become a completely reclusive teen, spending way too much time on my PC and only having 3 friends (all nerds) at school. One of them was a short, quiet nerd, less socially awkard than the other two and one of his Steam groups indicates he's a channer. My school was preparing a June festival. I didn't join, and just sat along with other non-participants - including my short friend- during the daily training sessions. Something involving lots of dancing. (This is the Southern hemisphere, so it was 12 C or lower- cold for local standards- all morning).

One of these dancing training sessions was held in the local gymnasium. We just stood and watched the boring moves and bizarre choice of music. I just talked with my short friend and some other dude about many themes, and sooner or later we were talking about women and girlfriends. At the time I still thought being popular and social was something to sthrive for, so I told them I did kinda have contact with a girl, mentioning her. At the time I didn't love her. We discussed more about it. I don't quite know what happened, but by a week later I had an intense crush on her. Just being next to her already gave me a boner. Her face constantly showed up in my thoughts. I wanted her so much, I felt like I was burning inside. Maybe this is love. I don't know.

I immediately tried to restore contact with her on the walks back home, but I was extremely awkard, forced, ineffective and often felt she wanted me to go away due to my nonexistant social skills. I also discussed with that friend and other people about how to reach her. He gave me a few tips on how to approach women. One I haven't forgotten is that you should make her come to you, instead of going to her.

None of that worked, I couldn't get any closer to her and our half-friendship actually got colder. She then started dating my grade's alpha (sometimes a mild bully, but he can be a nice person to talk with). My desire remained and was intensified by all the envy, hormones and strong feelings. Later on they broke, but I still couldn't advance in any way.

Then, one day, on the usual conversation in the way home, she swore at me and told me to go away. I went to the other side of the street, got home, and all the feelings for her went to the lowest level of my consciousness and withered away quickly, not without a lot of sadness.

I kept trying to socialize for a year, before giving up and fully embracing the reclusive lifestyle. Since then, I've only had really slim, weak and rare romantic feelings for girls. This one just ripped me apart. I won't ever forget her name and her cute face.


 No.25687>>25688

>>25686

Continuing my wall of text.

My contact with her since then has been limited. During a match at the same stadium, she asked me what the current hour was and I responded with the same unkindness I have received. The only other contact was she saying "hi" to me and I responding politely, years later. I've also seen her a few times. She's really cute in winter clothing.

Sadly, she moved to another home twice and we went to separate schools. According to her ugly friend, now she lives in the countryside.

She led me down the path of being apathetic, cold- hearted, reclusive and pessimistic.

A year later, I got a light, thin, weak crush on a librarian two years older than myself. I wrote an eloquent letter proposing a relationship, she refused, but we became friends. I still think she'd make a perfect wife. Pretty, polite, well-behaved, religious, not really smart but works hard to have good grades, wanting to marry.

I also had even weaker feelings for another girl I met in my school. A year and grade younger than me, unusually pale (marble- like, I'd say) skin, kind of petite, long brunette hair, good Catholic family, polite and nice to talk with. She's so pretty she won national beauty contests twice and went to the US to represent my country's teenage beauty. She'd also make a perfect wife, but she's way out of my league and has a boyfriend.

Ironically, I've also been the cold one who rejects advances to a girl. A half-black, older, pretty but only as much as, in my taste, someone with dark skin, wide nose and irregular hair can be. She went to the same church as me, and, before everyone went in and when there few people around, got me in a corner, offered a kiss, and I accepted. This happened again a few times. My parents knew she and I were somehow close. On one of my birthdays, we even sat together in a sofa and cuddled non-sexually. She also gave me a portrait of us two together.

However, despite getting a massive erection just from being near her, a combination of confusion, awkardness, knowledge of how she wouldn't make a good wife (she's a generic cellphone- addicted, selfish, idiotic teenager with an unstable family) and simply not having any romantic interest at all, I gave her little attention and the "relationship" dissipated. Now she's dating another mulatto and I don't want her in my life.

That's it. I've never had a girlfriend and don't feel "love" anymore. I feel dead for these matters.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

I know it's awful cliche advice but you should definitely be yourself. I don't mean this will help you get a girlfriend but when and if you DO get in a relationship don't try to push things about you away. Also Being nice is not a bad thing in fact it's probably going to attract them a lot the trick isn't being a jerk it's knowing when to stand up for yourself and take initiative. The problem most guys have isn't that they're too nice it's that they aren't being independent and assertive as a person and they're being nice in a sort of servile and submissive way. You can be kind and sweet with a girl while also maintaining your own assertive spirit.

Be prepared to leave your comfort zone behind, and get your love interest out of theirs. That's how memorable romantic moments are made.

Also remember that people who say relationships aren't worth it need to take a step back. Don't feel bad for wanting to pursue one; any happiness you have becomes better when you can share it.

Digital artist which draws cute stuff on deviantArt for lotsa mony and draws loli maledom/femsub and mind control erotica for me on occasion. She's cute and has daddy issues more like never had one plus rape fantasies. Loves watching anime and eating sweets.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

I found her looking on google, literally. We've joked about the flimsiness of our first encounter several times, because it went as follows:

1) I looked for phrases structured like the sort of thing nice people would say, on google. I was looking for people who thought about helping others, so I could make friends.

2) Found her blog, full of emo stuff but that I felt authentic and at the time deep still super emo we were both underage so ok

3) posted about my chuunibyou/neet tendencies and delusions of fixing the world through love and shit

4) she emailed me back, spam folder so I thought she laughed at what I wrote

5) a couple months later she writes again, I get the mail and we start talking to each other

6) we like each other by our personalities

7) erotic MC/rape/humiliation roleplay on ICQ, damn she's a cute loli, etc.

8) snatch her from her mother at 18

9) happily ever after

My advice to you guys is to be very authentic with what you believe in, go for your dreams, be assertive and masculine.

The thing my qt 3.14 tells me she most finds attractive in a man is intelligence, and that at first what she most liked about me is how I seemed to know everything. So dig in the books and become really smart and capable, and show it off through whatever means (for example become a great artist and make art, or learn to make music that inspires people, or do what I did which is grab visual studio and pretend to know what you are doing until you suddenly know programming).

There was a scene in Gunslinger Girl (written by a woman btw) in which Henrietta asks Jose if he knows everything. He replies yes. Women like this, women like to be told "do this. I know what I am doing. I am responsible, you just have to follow me."

Become the man you admire. Be a little Elon Musky. Even when you're not sure about life, pretend you are. Pretend you're not scared, and you soon won't be because you'll see it wasn't that scary. Act like it's easy until it really is.

Most importantly, become the firm collar that wraps her mind's neck. Become stable so she can be gentle and fluid. Become a vase so she can be the flower in it.

This doesn't mean you can't have fun, it's the complete opposite. Maybe I've phrased this like you have to be strong all the time, it's not true. But become her leader, and become yours too, see your own feet ahead of you and follow them.

No no, that's not to get attention. That's because if you pretend to yourself that tough things are doable if you try, then you'll be more confident to try.

Absolutely don't lie to a SO. Share everything, but if you feel like I felt, scared of life, just have the attitude of "I'll pretend life is simplier", until you see it through a different lens.

>What if I'm a weak, submissive person?

You don't have to be always strong. I'm not saying you have to be the leader, just don't be the guy that allows others to push him around without standing his ground.

Just don't let people, especially women, abuse you. You can have your fetishes and play them out in a relationship, but make it so on good terms, please! Pussy whipped manginas are the reason the world is in shit.

So, /kind/. I'm not exactly one to whine about my life often, but I suppose it can't hurt from time to time, so I'll give it a shot.

Essentially, I have no god damn clue what to do with my life anymore.

I was dating a girl for five years, since I was 13. She was the only person that really gave a shit about me, and I spent most, if not all of my time with her. We played vidya a lot, but it also went much further beyond that. We influenced each other's character a lot over the years, kinda molding each other, in a way.

Last November, she killed herself.

I don't fault her for doing it. Hell, I've been thinking of doing it too. We both were socially awkward, and had no friends apart from each other. And, having finished school, she started living independently, getting a shitty job, and so on. Shit's tough, so I get it.

Nearly five months later, I still can't get over it.

Vidya was my only hobby, and it feels empty and horrible without her.

I tried getting into working out, reading more, anime… anything I could think of, but nothing gives me any joy.

I have been studying game design, and some related aspects, like musical theory, sprite work and programming, but I don't enjoy it. I do it because it's the only thing that takes my mind off of life, and because that was my dream for a long time. And also because I have a lot of free time on my hands now.

I'm at a point in life where I have no damn clue what to do, where to go or what to try.

Not to be rude, but I've heard all the canned advice from people who don't give a shit, and I don't really need it.

Oh, and, please don't suggest antidepressants. The last time I tried that shit was the worst moments of my life.

tl;dr: My girlfriend of five years go to sleeped and I can't move on, since she was the most important part of my life until now.

So, what the fucking hell do I do, /kind/? Because I am honestly about to give up.

Repost because I'm too retarded to write a post that makes any sense.

[incoming blogpost alert]

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Yeah, two times.

The first time was during high-school, and only lasted for a few months, because this girl had manipulative and histrionic tendencies.

She made me discover that books and literature can be cool and interesting though, and allowed me to lose my virginity.

Four years later, I had my first serious relationship, that went on for two years. And, I'm still friend with this girl.

Basically, the first year was when we were both involved a lot in this relationship, but also when it was the most difficult.

She had serious self-esteem and mood issues, because she had a bad childhood, her parents was shitty to her, and she had been raped during her teens. And I was a prick who would get mad over small details when I was drunk because I didn't know how you were supposed to act in a relationship.

Long story short, after a while, we decided we weren't really together anymore, even though we still were. I tried to be a less shitty person, and she became more confident in herself and less moody. But there were things that always annoyed me about her when we would spend time together IRL. We cheated on each other around the same time. I moved to another town a hundred miles away for uni, we still saw each other from times to times, but we didn't have sex anymore. She ultimately met someone else recently, and I can't blame her for that because I would have done the same thing if I had the opportunity.

>Have you ever been in love?

Here is a citation from a Joe Frank radio show called "Dear Annie", which resonates with me.

>"Many of the people I know use the word liberally. They fall in love with somebody, they say : 'she is wonderful, she is a wonderful person, she moves me so deeply, I love her'. Then they fall out of love, and fall in love with someone else. The person they loved before, they don't love anymore. In fact, they feel nothing for their former lover, and everything for their present lover. They follow this pattern from one relationship to the next."

>"Now to me, this doesn't make any sense at all. Unless of course they are all liars, and actually don't love, and never loved anybody. They're just using the term 'love' to make their relationships seem more meaningful, to feel more alive. Because to me, love is inviolable, sacred. This is why I don't feel up to it."

>"When friends ask me : 'Have you ever loved anyone ?', I say without hesitation : 'I don't know.' And they are appalled when they hear me say it : 'You don't know if you ever loved anybody ?', they ask, turning red. 'Well', I say, retreating a little, 'I have felt infatuation, a passion, tenderness, but in the deepest and highest sense of the term, well, I really don't know.'"

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I like girls who have a sort of tomboyish personality, and I guess have similar musical tastes and political opinions than me.

Girls who don't blow all their money on stupid shit, who are resourceful and have a mostly independent frame of mind (especially aren't dependent on their lover).

I also like people who are open towards drugs (but that doesn't mean they inexorably have to use them), and don't see that as an evil thing in essence.

One friend of mine talked once about this theory that we generally want a partner that is similar to your parent of the opposite sex. And I can see that pattern here.

I guess it just boils down to someone who have her head on her shoulders, but also can be silly at times.

However, I don't really know if the girls I dated matched those fantasies. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

One funny thing is that both of them had a crush on me before I met them, and made the first move. We also made love the first night we met.

I guess I like that boldness, because I have that fear of being rejected, and I have a hard time doing anything more than just talking.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

I don't know. First of all, take any advice with a grain of salt, especially when it is based on essentialist statements like "Girls are like this, boys are like that, so you should totally do that".

I'm not the best guy who can give you that sort of advice, I'm not a very guy confident. But I will try to do my best.

I guess I should say something among the lines of "Don't fear rejection when you feel this person really likes you, and that it could go further", even though I have a problem with that too.

The only thing I found to break the ice, so to speak, and make the person understand that you want something more than friendship, is to hold his/her hand when you are close to him/her, in a intimate setting. It's cute, and not that much of a big deal I guess.

Also, go out and met people with whom you can share your hobbies. I'm into alternative music (shit like Sonic Youth, Swans, Autechre), so I go to concerts with that kind of music whenever I can. Before I moved out to a big city with people who also like that stuff, I was just that lonely pot-smoking loser who listen to weird music. Now, even tho I moved out, I met some like-minded people there, it made me understand I wasn't that weird, and that was during that time where I was more self-confidentthat I met the second girl I was into a relationship with.

One of my best friends lose his viriginity at 24 because he moved out of his parents' house for uni, and met a girl there who is also into video games and movies. Before that, he was a /r9k/ regular, and thought he would stay forever alone.

Also, while being in a relationship is very nice and all, it brings you problems you didn't have to care about before.

First of all, you have to worry about anything related to pregnancy and STDs, any of which can hit you pretty fast, because you are not a rational being when you are under the influences of chemicals you brain releases in that kind of situations.

And the person you are with is a human like you, as fucked-up as you. So it inevitably add drama in your life, that can be quite unnecessary and shitty at times.

So, don't think all your misery will be resolved if you suddenly have a lover. It won't.

I guess most of us are in their twenties, and what happens is that you spend a few weeks in awe, and then, you learn to live with the other person, because we all have different personalities that will inevitably create conflicts when you are that close.

And speak of that, my last advice would to be to keep in mind what Debi Mae West (who voiced Meryl in MGS !) said in another Joe Frank show, that we all have fantasies of what is our perfect partner would be, but we can only meet people that are more or less close of these, and when you are in a relationship, you have to deal with it. When you have a crush on someone, try to keep that in mind.

I want to date someone beautiful, both outside and in. I want someone who complements me.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

What I have to say might mean nothing, but I would say not to get into a relationship unless you're really into the person (i.e. not just to be in a relationship). Don't mistake what love is and if you're both in love, try to keep things good. Deep down, you'll know if it's not real anymore and you shouldn't front about it. Be real to yourself and your partner. If you break up, you probably won't be friends, just a cautionary statement.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Don't think it will fix all your problems. I recall that I thought that being in a relationship would make me feel less empty. It didn't really.

I am currently slipping back into the belief that being in a relationship will solve all my problems, even though in the back of my mind I know it won't.

I actually just got into a relationship…yesterday. Been seeing him for a while and we decided to make it official. Feels nice, but strange since I haven't really been with anyone emotionally in over a year. As far as how he is, really fucking smart, kinda artsy, crazy enough to handle my crazy, sane enough to be really attractive. Feeling good about it at the moment.

No. Not really, def not 'just bee urself', it is really hard to find someone really good for you, and it takes time and effort, which really sucks. Only think you can do is to keep trying and hope for the best, sometimes it is not going to work, but don't give up! :)

Is this how it works? I don't want to force an interaction between her to just try to get to know her better. Like, she's agreed to watching movies with me. Except the movie comes out during the Summer. I'm such a dingus.

Definitely one sided. The goal of a long distance relationship is to eventually not be long distance. Once you decide you want to be together, you should always be moving towards that goal. He's clearly not doing that. After two years and I can only assume thousands of dollars made by you, you're still not together. He has to decide what's most important to him, and you have to be prepared to leave him if he doesn't change.

Don't be afraid of trying to talk to the person. They may seem way out of your league or something, but they're just another person just like you. Get to know them as a person first and foremost. If they reject you, it isn't the end of the world. I have little experience, but i know that much.

*biological female

*employable would be nice, but not really mandatory. I have no problem being the breadwinner for someone to be a full-time parent.

* on that note, good parenting skills.

*Able to cook would be nice, since I have been known to burn water.

*Outgoing. I'm severely quiet and introverted, so as much as the "manic pixie dream girl" trope is mostly overused bullshit, it is true to some extent. I need someone to act as a sort of social bridge for my own mental health's sake.

*appreciates games as an art. As silly of a relationship goal as it is, I want to talk about video games in the same revered tones as books or film merits. That's one of my hobbies, and I take it very seriously as an art form. For both of our sake, it needs to be not only understood, but appreciated.

*Musician preferred. Again, one of my great loves in this world is music and making it, so having a musician would be great.

*/fit/izen or striving to be one preferred. I want to get off my ass, but I can't be bothered to right now. Having a motivation (as well as a healthy competition) would be nice.

In terms of physical attributes:

*Always had a thing for goth girls, so tattoos, short hair, hair dye, that sort of thing.

*If I'm perfectly frank, I sort of prefer a "petite" figure on a woman. 94DD's and birthing hips wide enough to accommodate a travel trailer always skeeved me out, even though that's essentially the biologically "perfect" matron.

Oh, it's very good of you to think of me, but at this point, I'm just not sure if I want anything, anymore. I used to think that being kind and virtuous no matter what the odds were would lead me on a path to happiness no matter my circumstances lead me to. Now, I've grown so jaded to everything that has lead me here, and to where I may end up, next. It all just seems so pointless to me. I had this strange child - like enthusiasm for everything good despite the bad. But it seems harder now that I have so many expectations I'm not sure i can meet, or whether I should care if I meet them.

My point is, I don't see the point in finding anyone, because I realize I myself am pretty inadequate, am probably not going anywhere spectacular with my life, and I guess I should learn to be fine with that.

>>15965 (OP)

After she's been a bit cold the last three months I confronted her and told her I suspect she's waiting for me to get tired of chasing after her, because she doesn't want to hurt my feelings by rejecting me.

She confirmed.

God fucking damn it /kind/.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

Yes, for four years. That's gone now.

>Have you ever been in love?

Yes, very much so. That's gone now.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

Yes, on multiple occasions. That's gone now.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

I would like to date someone that is on my level. Someone that has her own goals, projects, and life but they're at least a little similar to mine. Someone that can help me with my goals and I can help hers. She also has to exercise on a regular basis, and enjoy the outdoors. One last thing, and this is more important than anything else: I have to be able to maintain a conversation with her for at least two hours without losing interest. It sounds really basic but you would be surprised how few people can fill such a basic role. I really like the idea of a husband and wife team that works together.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

Yeah I do. You have to learn how to be your own source of happiness. You have to be able to make yourself happy without anyone else's help. When I was in my four year relationship, I was heavily dependent on my friends and girlfriend for my own happiness. I always needed to be around them. I couldn't be alone. After a while, that grew into jealousy and clinginess and it made me unattractive that I had to depend on my girlfriend just to be happy. That caused the relationship to end and the worst part was that I wasn't even aware of this problem until a few months after it ended and now she's dating my best friend.

So, becoming your own source of happiness has a lot of benefits for you. First, you're not reliant on other people for happiness so you're less likely to settle for lesser women. You'll just feel better. You can't always rely on people to be there for you when you need them most, but you can always rely on yourself. Once you get good at it, being your own source of happiness starts to radiate out, and other people can draw happiness from you. This makes you more likeable, more attractive, and more respectable. Also builds confidence.

So how do you do this? Well it's different for everyone but I can tell you what helped me. The first thing I did was really start to focus on my hobbies. I shoot, hike, bike, swim, run, and play videogames. I do all of my hobbies on my own but I invite people all the time. If nobody wants to join me, I'll just do it by myself. Another important thing to do is to do something towards these hobbies every single day. Even if I don't have time to do the more physical hobbies, I'll try to do something at home. If I can't shoot, I'll clean my guns. If I can't hike, I'll get my pack ready for the weekend, and so on. Another thing to remember is to be proud of what you do. Not being proud of being good at something, though that helps too, I mean be proud of having the ability to do something you enjoy. Don't think of yourself as someone that runs, think of yourself as a runner. Don't think of yourself as that guy who occasionally goes on hikes, think of yourself as a hiker. It seems small but in reality, it is a massive change in perspective and you'll be surprised at how you feel. This subject can go really deep so I'll leave you with artofmanliness.com and /improve/ if you want to learn more.

tl;dr Don't wait for someone to make you happy. Make yourself happy and make someone else happy.

Trust issues huh. I can relate, having them was a part of what fucked up my relationship. Even so, still be social. You gotta learn to take the risks or life isn't worth living

This advice is GOAT.

Be dependable and reliable, not despondent and reliant.

I'm certain I'm incapable of true love and could never be capable enough to maintain a real relationship. I have no idea how I could make it fulfilling but people lie all the time online right? Where might I find someplace for transparency but dedication to that (I feel a roleplaying board might not be so appropriate)? I know it's bound to hurt eventually but I just want someone's warmth, even if it's fake, to not make me feel bad all the time.

>All my life I've preferred being alone

And now you suddenly don't and you're sad? What changed? Did something happen? I'm asking because I'm 24 and I also live completely alone, and despite having no one even remotely close in my life for the past 7 years, I don't feel bad at all. So, what changed for you?

Well, it's more than that. While I have preferred being alone, it was never something that had made me happy, I chose it because I was afraid of other people. I used to have massive trust issues, but as I grew older, I became very self introspective, and withheld myself from relationships.

It should be noted, during my later introspective years, I focused most of my trust issues entirely on myself. I had thought I was such a horrible person I shouldn't bother people with my existence, and that most people at best were putting up with me. To a degree, it was the same trust issues. But I focused most of my anger on myself.

It's a difficult life, comrade. I picked up the "goth girl aesthetic" fetish from back when it was the punkrock girl aesthetic. Of course, then goths gave way to "scene girls", who are shit, and those gave way to tumblrettes, who now have all the physical traits I'm attracted to, but none of the emotional ones.

Hence, not great at the whole "dating" thing any more.

>Have you ever been in a relationship?

No.

>Have you ever been in love?

I’ve been deeply infatuated with others before but it’s hard for me to genuinely call it love.

>Have you ever cuddled someone?

No.

>What kind of person do you want to date/What kind of person are you dating currently?

While I would definitely like to be attracted to my significant other, being a 10/10 isn’t the most important thing I look for in a partner. I think more than anything we would have to have the same type of humor, which I don’t think a lot of girls have.

>Do you have any advice for Anons looking to get into a relationship?

No, sorry.

I often wonder why I want to be in a relationship. I mean, of course there are nights where I lay in bed and wish more than anything that I could be next to someone, but those come and go. In between those moments of soul-crushing loneliness I don’t know why I would want to have a girlfriend. I can’t imagine having to live with another and be so close with another. Maybe it’s because I barely go out of my room but it just seems so alien and weird to me and scary. I mean, a relationship is just like a friendship but closer, yeah? That’s what everyone’s always told me. So if it is, I have plenty of best friends. Sure, I don’t see them a lot but we talk over Skype and stay close. So, why would I need a girlfriend? Actually, I guess a better question is why do I want a girlfriend?
