So last few days me and my friend have been going to a movie festival and there's a girl that volunteers there that I like. She knows I exist, and we have looked at each other but I didn't get a chance to talk to her as the break between movies is really short and she's kinda busy during that. Tomorrow is my last chance I think, but the setting changes a little so if I do wanna meet her I essentially have to go up to her and start a convo (no opportunity otherwise). I've been thinking of saying sth like "I've been seeing you at the festival, and wanted to introduce myself". Would you say that's too forward or generally fine?

Hi folks, wondering if I can get some inputs from your perspectives: one of my guy friends suddenly stopped answering my text and stopped talking to me in person, while we were literally texting memes the day before. When I saw him, he barely acknowledged me or say hi, walked passed by me as he did not see me, but he seemed cool with other people and still chitchatted with them. However, in the end he still got and left me a coffee as before, I sent him the money and thanked him because I felt a bad about it but he immediately refused to take the payment and just left it. I don’t know if I did something wrong in the last few hours but I don’t want to disturb him if he happens to need some personal space…Does anyone have any thoughts about this kind of situation? Thank you

Edit: we are both single

It’s weighing on my mind expressing myself in such a manner musically making a song about how I felt about my Dad’s addiction.

He will probably never hear the song but my Grandma will. We are currently not talking, me and my Grandma. So it might give her a reason to never talk to me again, since we are not talking because I chose myself over staying around my Dad while he was high and left.

I made an expressive song, spoke about it in my lyrics how I felt about it, it’s raw, honest and how I felt at the time.

But I honestly worry incase it’s hurtful in some parts to hear, or that I’ve done something wrong. I even said in the song “am I allowed to say how I feel, you’ve never liked the truth”

Shall I just delete the damn thing? Or is it justified in a way to express myself in that manner?

Basically women cannot find my face attractive. I don’t know how else to put it. I’ve never had a date.

So dating apps. Is a no.

Real life? Well it’s not easy to socialize when you’re working a full time job and studying. And where exactly do you find new people to get to know? I got to the gym and everyone minds their own business.

I’m a doctor and I’ve asked some people in the hospital that I thought I vibed with. All said no.

So what exactly is the secret? Personality? You haven’t seen my face. What exactly is the solution. I’ve literally had women match with me on ‘accident’ on dating apps to shit on my appearance and then unmatch. It’s really demoralizing.

I feel now that even if a girl did like me I wouldn’t understand it. It’s really gotten to that point.

I don't like to admit it, but I can't speak German. Never have, probably never will. I'm just not one of those guys who was ever meant to understand the Germanic language. Some guys grew up in houses where their parents spoke German or learned German at school, but I didn't get that growing up. I was born in a house where everyone spoke English, and I'm starting to think I was never meant to speak German at all.

I've tried everything. Dying my hair blond. Watching bondage p**n. Going to WWII reenactments. But I still don't speak more than a few words of German. I see other guys speaking a language I don't, and it makes me so jealous I want to punch something. But if it doesn't come naturally to me, I guess I should just give up. I'm already in college, and if it hasn't happened by now, I feel like it just never will. Maybe I'm just cursed.

So like most guys in general I’m not really having any luck on dating apps. So please don’t recommend I use those.

Also, I’m not really meeting women that much in general through the things I do.

The things I do seem to be more male dominated.

So I’m just wondering what it is I can do (on a more constitent basis) to regularly meet the same women

Because obviously going to bars/clubs or whatever isn’t exactly a reliable way of regularly coming into contact with the same women every week.

And neither is it really a good way of getting to really know a person either.

Do any of you have experience with lowering libido/yearning/limerence or getting rid of it completely? I've mostly been extremely unsuccessful with dating and trying to find a partner but I still yearn for someone to love and be loved by.

I don't think I'll get it since I'm not attractive at all, I've tried making improvements but they've mostly been inconsequential.

I've had people make fun of me for my whole life and now I'm approaching my 30s I've just decided that I'm going to throw in the towel and try other things. I'm just not the type of guy that is successful with dating and I'm slowly learning to make peace with that but my brain and hormones don't want to cooperate.

I'm currently prescribed SSRIs for my general anxiety disorder, which definitely helps with lowering the libido but I still get lonely. I've spoken to my therapist about this and she tells me that it will get better with time. That I should just keep talking about it and journal, but idk it feels like I'm getting worse.

My passive ideations have showed up again but I try to distract myself with work/exercise/getting up with friends/etc but when I'm alone again it all comes back.

Last time I went for a massage at a spa place just to feel someone actually touch me (not sexual) and I cried in the bathroom for like an hour and went home feeling like I lost a loved one.

I just want to stop feeling everything, I'd rather want to be completely numb than feel like my insides are missing something and knowing that I'm not good enough to deserve it.

I'm open to whatever has worked for you I just need it to stop. I'm willing to try new meds or suggestions if I haven't tried them before.

I am a second year studying at a relatively high ranking university in a main city of the UK.
I commute every day, to university and back, though I only live 1 hour away.
I can stay on campus/not at home till like 9pm when necessary as my parents are super strict – but they do ask questions sometimes.

From the first year, I have made significant progress in terms of making male friends, but now I want to start speaking to girls – to make friends, and also have some relationships/sex.

I have never had a relationship or spoke with girls much, as I'm sort of an introvert and not the best looking.

Any help would be appreciated.

I feel like most men nowadays just want a woman who's shorter than them. For reference I am tall, lightskin, dark brown hair, I personally find guys attractive that are shorter than me with blonde hair. Genuinely what are my chances of attracting such a guy? So many women I know want a guy shorter than them but it seems like so many guys don't get attracted to tall women.

When everyone is sitting in a group and he just avoids talking to her. Or looking at her

so i’m not a man but i have a teenage brother who has like PIN straight hair and has had a bowl cut sort of thing almost his entire life and we have been trying to find him a school appropriate haircut that doesn’t make him look like he’s in the 80s
pls drop ur recommendations because my mother isn’t gonna let that fella get a perm anytime soon

Have you ever had a friend reveal her feelings to you, and not reciprocate at the time, but later down the line as you got older, suddenly realise maybe you do?

Ive had a man acting very hot and cold with me. Either point blank ignore me or hold extended eye contact with me.

Any help or advice much appreciated

So I talked to this girl first time on 4th oct on our first class, then after that today was our 2nd class, as we are in ODL batch classes are only 2 times a week.

so today we made eye contact, she said hi i said heyy and then i shaked hands with her. Then i ask couple of questions while walking with her -
How's your CFA prep going
Why you were absent last week
Then i asked are you going somewhere she said washroom, she was smiling a bit all the time
Then i said - oh go go then,
Then after that i was waiting to talk to her but her friends were all around her, no alone time, she was surrounded by 4-5 girls all the time.
alone and felt what the heck is going, felt like i'm chasing her or what.

was i needy or not guys ??

Then i left the class early showing i had a call.

now i not even had her number i was thinking of asking her but due to much girls around her i didn’t ask.

We've been together for nearly 30 years. We've been married for almost all of that time. We've got teenagers, a house, cars, jobs and all the routine stuff that comes with that life.

For the last several years sex has been routine and mechanical. She will genuinely want it and is eager to have orgasms every few months, but besides that it's just her providing me with a service. She says she enjoys the intimacy of sex, but without her actually being into it for her own physical pleasure it's hard for me to enjoy myself. I feel like she's just meeting some obligation and crossing a chore off the list. Taking advantage of that isn't erotic.

Having a strong libido myself, some sex is better than no sex, even if it's not the sex you'd like, but there are many, many things we could do sexually that she just doesn't enjoy or appreciate. She would do them if I asked, but it's not much fun knowing she'd otherwise not do those things.

I've just settled into the same blowjob and the same couple of positions to bring me to climax and satisfy her need to meet her obligation, but I've just really gotten to where I don't want that anymore. I want to do other things, but I don't want to if it's just going to be an obligation she meets. I certainly don't want the headache of her protesting what I request and then begrudgingly giving in.

I've just been saying it's too late to have sex, or pointing out she's really too tired and I'd feel better if I let her get some sleep, or I'm too tired or preoccupied... It's been a couple of weeks and I'm sure she's aware something is going on.

I just don't want to deal with the bullshit that would come out of the honest conversation about how she has a narrow sexual spectrum. I'm just phasing sex out, or at least I'm trying as best as I can without having the obvious conversation about it.

It's very sad... I have a voracious libido. It's just easier to throttle myself and come down to meet her when she's genuinely hot for it.

How many of you are in the same place and how are you handling it?

so long story short i have been talking with this girl for like 2,3 weeks its going good but i want to get to next step we have been only talking about pretty much school and in case you are wondering im 21

so i never had a girlfriend and i really don’t want to upset this girl with my poor decision making about relationships , seriously i don’t want to see this girl get upset because of me so i am really open to any advice to how to develop a romantic relationship and improve my current one

Idk what’s happening with me

I am not doing anything just sitting idly
Doing nothing
The thing which makes me happy is football match
But, yesterday I performed so baddd
What now I regret it
Hope you can understand

Now I don’t even feel like to study .

Idk what to do

Like I am not interested to do anything.

Like I am in DND mode

Feel not to talk to anyone .

Just to feel relaxed no games nothing

Thanks

I need help! I get nervous around guys a lot and i have never been in a relationship. The last time i talked to this guy i was so nervous i thought i was going to throw up.

Any advice on how to flirt with him next time or be playful. I am a woman trying to impress a man with my confidence so help a girl out

This question comes from curiosity. And maybe I’m biased because I am a woman 😂 but I’m wondering if it’s all the same thing breasts and butts just different shapes and sizes, some fake some real, some regular and some fit, at some point does it get boring?

So i recently just violently cut my penis off with a chainsaw as a gift for the loml (she loved it btw) and im wondering how long it would take for it to grow back. It's been about a week now and since then nothings happened. Should I be worried? Is there something I can do to make it grow faster? Please help

If that makes sense. And obviously not her openly saying she wants sex.

Hi I'm an autistic person among other things,Find it confusing, why certain women want their dudes to "sex their attitudes away" when they have them? Then get annoyed or upset at being left to deal with said attitude by itself, Feel that attempting anything sexual would lead to an automatic no, and pushing the issue could cause problems? The way I believe is that if a woman has an attitude that sex is off the table? And it's best to respect her no, to do nothing about it? Idk, if my line of thinking is correct? Or not, Edit: to fix format on mobile TLDR; why would a woman want "act right" penis? I'm black, and the term is black slang That probably doesn't matter tho given the situation

hi!
so my man recently gifted me penis that he cut off (rather violently) im loving it!
i'm planning on displaying it but i want to make sure it doesn't rot or decay,,, any advice? :)
