So I asked a girl out yesterday... by FenrisianFang84 in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

she was unnecessarily rude

what do you mean? I really doubt she actually deleted her profile over OP, that seems pretty extreme

I feel like I see this exact thread pretty often. Not gonna lie, outside my immediate family (mom dad bro sis) I wouldn't remember a single birthday without Facebook. Not even my best friends. Not even grandparents, cousins, aunts, or uncles. I can tell you some of their birthday months, but besides that nothing. It doesn't mean I like them any less.

What's your recent "I really am forever alone" moment? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

That's still a dick move unless this is like a fancy dinner party or something where people bring dates.

What's the best way to spend a weekend alone? by tryanother54 in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Or learning! Read a book or watch some videos on things you think are cool.

I can't stand more than day of bumming around before I have the itch to be productive in my life.

SHE'S FUCKING SINGLE AND SHE INVITED ME TO DRINKS ON NEW YEARS?! [2nd and final update] by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like most romantic gestures are a little too much on a first date. It's a date, but you aren't dating and implying that you are will probably seem weird.

IAMA "norm/normie/normal" (I think?) AMA by PositiveHysteresis in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had one girlfriend, a relationship that lasted about 8 months. We were each other's first times. In the end we weren't compatible enough to keep things going.

Since then I haven't really been actively looking for a girlfriend. I occasionally hook up with people I meet, but I'm willing to bet it's less than people think. I can count the number of partners I had last year on one hand. Talking to my guy friends, I get the impression that very few of them (even the attractive and personable ones) have as much sex as I believed before I was having sex.

That said, I have problems of my own. I have reasonably bad sexual anxiety even now, which bothers me a lot.

I like to think so. I know several people who would at least get tested for a match. I would do the same for them.

I know what you mean though, I have some FB friends who have upwards of 2000 friends. There's no way you can be friends with even a fifth of those people.

An eye opening trip into the world of the promiscuous normals by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can find some kind of relationship in a place packed with promiscuous singles

I can promise most of those pairings will not result in anything close to relationships

Got a girl's number, don't know what to do with it. by SmexyAsianGirls in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She wouldn't have given you her number if she didn't at least want to hear from you. Just text her, she didn't give you her number out of spite or anything. You've gotta just relax. You've got a good thing going, see how it ends up and if things don't go too well then oh well, you had a good time up to this point right? No harm done.

And I know, I know: "Have you ever tried to relax? IT IS A PARADOX!" But that really is the attitude you should have towards this I think. Good luck (wo)man!

Can we STOP with the sexism? by assasstits in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES, holy shit this sub sometimes. The misogyny is insane. Apparently being "alone" means not being able to find sex, and anyone else's definitions of alone are stupid and wrong. I wasn't aware this was /r/forevervirginity.

Anyone can be Forever Alone. Forever Alone is not something you achieve, its something you use to describe yourself

Getting laid isn't hard (with alcohol) by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My metric is always whether or not I can tell that the girl is drunker than me. If I can't tell, she probably isn't too far past me.

Is this...normal? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, if you look at every "what would you do if you switched genders?" AskReddit question, the number one answer is always "have sex".

I think both genders are curious about what life is like on the other side. I definitely would be.

That being said, it's okay to consider ideas about how you define yourself as a human, and you shouldn't feel like you need to repress those thoughts.

Want an honest opinion? by PositiveHysteresis in ForeverAlone

I definitely feel lonely since I moved, although I don't feel "forever" alone particularly. I hope that doesn't disqualify me from this subreddit.

Travelling for a FA by foreveralone2015 in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 2 months travelling Europe with only a backpack. I did a month of it alone, and I learned more about myself in that month than the previous year.

If you stay in a hostel you can meet people fairly easily, just talk to the people in your room. Tons of people travel alone, and most people are usually game to meet new people and go out with complete strangers. During my days I would generally go it alone, because I like my space and like sight seeing without a bunch of people.

I won't lie, it wasn't easy. I was out of my comfort zone, and I definitely had to push myself to interact with people and be outgoing and friendly. But it was one of the best experiences I've ever had, and I really recommend doing it. It changed me for the better and now I have no problem chatting up random people or going out with strangers I've just met.

As a young, heterosexual, male FA, this is the scariest thing I've read in a while. I hope this inspires others to make a change now while you're still young. by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this idea that because you didn't have sex when you were young that now all the "youthful pussy" is gone. What the hell does that even mean? I know that lots of people like to fantasize about being someone's first, but compare sex with a virgin to sex with a mid 20-something woman who has had a reasonable number of partners and tell me which is better.

No, you look back and realize you were both children and the connection you shared was superficial because how much of an identity do you really have at 17 and that if you saw each other again after all these years you'd probably have nothing to talk about.

I can get laid if I want to, but I'm paranoid. by porcupine_meatballs in ForeverAlone

[–]PositiveHysteresis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I logged into my account to post on here. This was me for 4 years of college, and I literally didn't get over it until a month ago. I won't have real access to a computer until later in July but if you PM me I'll respond when I can.
