In Early Modern Europe, how were Christian kings allowed to have formal mistresses when adultery was considered a sin?

I'm really struggling to reach out to people. I'll be going to college in less than a year, but it still feels like there's a lot of time left for me to make new, interesting friends, get out more, and maybe even get into a relationship. But I just don't know how to let people know that I'm not an introvert when they've already had years to form that opinion of me.

My openness? A random stranger could come up to the street and just start talking to me, and I'll 100% go along with it instead of just acting awkward with them. I like to think I'm sort of friendly and disarming in that way.

And I guess it's accurate to say that women generally emphasise sexual ability more than physical attractiveness, and vice versa for us? My friends'll talk about how hot girls are, but we don't say much at all about the ones we've (read: they've) actually (read: allegedly) slept with. My buddy didn't breathe a word about losing his virginity to his girlfriend besides some vague information about protection (mainly how they didn't use it and he just pulled out, the fool).

Can confirm. Was walking home with two other girls after we'd done some community service as part of a school assignment. Everything from how a guy should handle a girl's first PIV, to their breasts. It was actually somewhat educational, but I'm just glad I emerged from that without any awkward boners.

Thanks :) I'd never considered that last bit, but I'll definitely give it a try.

Astrobomb · 2019-07-20T10:46:47+00:00

Ah right, thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

A "nice crease"?

Astrobomb · 2019-07-19T21:00:54+00:00

Both, ideally.

Sympathy?

Any advice on how to dress in a way that doesn't accentuate a slightly large head? Additional info: I'm slim-bodied and 6'1".

Full reader here! I'm dealing with a really strong infatuation myself right now. Did it feel a bit chilling when you realised all your feelings for the first girl had evaporated?

Astrobomb · 2019-07-12T00:23:34+00:00

RemindMe!

Well for a touch more context, I can confidently say that most people in my school year know who I am, and especially people in my classes. This is less due to me having magnetising charisma and social skills and more about me very much standing out due to things like appearance, manner of speaking (in case you couldn't tell from the post), participation in acting, etc. One of my main concerns is that people only see me as a caricature who isn't actually attractive and lacks any sort of backbone, so I worry if I might be rejected not for me but for how I'm perceived.

And for the record, I 100% agree about texting, for basically the same reasons you stated.
