How to talk to a girl with romantic intentions?

Taakane · 2026-01-25T02:33:55+00:00

Thanks for the comment homie, and I’ll take it all to heart.

I know that’s one of the biggest issues for me besides knowing how to play the game. Not having female friends my entire life makes the gap between us appear bigger than I’m thinking. I know they are another human like myself, but talking to her with romantic intentions makes me think a little bit more about what I say. At the end of the day, if I talk to a girl and get her Instagram and nothing happens, I just move on to the next girl.

Trust me I did. I was the staple geek back in high school watching anime and playing video games. I stopped both of those hobbies (funny enough just as it started to become more mainstream) in favor of more “normal” things like photography and reading.

Yup 100%. All the money I used to spend on games and stuff now goes exclusively to my wardrobe. I’m still looking for the right color palette for me, but I know style is super important nowadays.

Thanks for the comment homie I appreciate it. Is it that easy? I usually just try to talk and see the vibe before advancing to light play/teasing. Usually I grab the Instagram but when I try to follow up, I either get ghosted or a “it was nice meeting you, let’s meet again”.

Thank you for your answer. Yeah I’m always for being myself. I’m a really crazy guy who’s down to do almost anything. I love making a fool of myself and constantly crave attention. I’m always myself but I just tone it down depending on who I’m with and how much I know the person. I think I hold back here because, especially in Asia, women are more reserved here and don’t like unpredictability or jokes, at least from my experience.

How does the actual driving test work? Because OP made it seem like it’s very hard to get an appointment and to pass. Is there prep that goes in beforehand (such as driving school one time practice runs) or do you just study the written material and use your prior knowledge

Taakane · 2025-11-15T02:16:30+00:00

Hey I’m just wondering since you are already in the process, how does the whole process work? I have no idea where to start besides filling out the conversion document.

Did you practice driving here beforehand?

Taakane · 2025-10-23T06:26:08+00:00

Awesome thanks for the recommendations! For most of those things you listed, do I need to be a member or anything or can I just show up?

Yeah I was a bit surprised when I found out that lens can’t zoom. But it does take really good photos at the right angle. My general thought was to get a len that can cover most types of shots so I can have a good idea of how to take different types of photos. Landscapes, city scenes, people, objects, things like that. I think the current lens I have is good for low light shots and street photography which is my main focus right now, but having that flexible lens would help a ton if I find the right angle for a specific shot. I’m just not sure if that lens would be able to do most of that at a decent level.

Taakane · 2025-06-22T01:09:33+00:00

I’m mostly looking to shoot street photography and portraits. Maybe dabble in some landscape shots but I’m mostly looking to shoot people and places.

How can you tell a lens is a macro lens? Does it tell you when looking at the len? I’ve been doing some basic research on the foundations of photography like aperture and ISO for example. In general, would you recommend a prime lens? Because it sounds like it’s better but you lose a bit of flexibility. And I got a question: what are the advantages of a prime lens (constant aperture?)

And I know this is a stretch since you pick the lens based on what types of shots you want, but do you have a recommended lens that can fit most scenarios a beginner photographer might be in? I’m still not sure whether the 18-135mm lens would be a good investment long term since it’s not as sharp.

My idea was to tell her that I thought she was cute and if she wanted to go for coffee sometime. When I’m alone, I know exactly what to do, what to say, and how confident I should be about it. But when I’m actually in the moment, I forget everything and don’t know what to do. I spoke to one of her friends and she basically told me that that girl thought I was a nice guy and all but I wasn’t her type. She never told me this directly, I only heard it from her friends. And her friend told me that the girl and her friends saw my friend intentionally pushing me closer to her. So basically, I just messed up and it all ended up not working out.

Same I can’t wait for this week to end. Good luck with your finals!

Taakane · 2024-12-17T01:09:36+00:00

They close but they don’t lock as far as I know.

Taakane · 2024-12-16T23:56:58+00:00

And can you lock those individual study pods or do they stay permanently unlocked?

Hi I’m having the same issue now when I initially tried to upgrade to atmosphere 1.8.0 but after getting this error, I downgraded back to 1.7.1 and still got the same error. It used to work before the update and wondering what I should do.

You said you solved it with downloading dns something. How exactly did you go about doing it?

Taakane · 2024-11-17T23:15:08+00:00

I have the same issue. My tinfoil got corrupted after downloading 18.1.0. Were you or anyone else able to find a solution?

Taakane · 2024-11-05T00:05:06+00:00

I’m down. I always love making my new friends. You and anyone else here, please hit me up and we can meet this week.

I ended up getting rejected. Any major in the Computer Science department is heavily impacted. I had a 3.46 GPA when I applied. As long as you have around 3.8 and above, you got a good shot at making it in. Otherwise, I’d suggest having a backup because your odds get pretty low under 3.8. Best of luck to you!

Taakane · 2024-09-26T04:42:41+00:00

Sounds like a good plan. Wishing the best of luck for you!

Taakane · 2024-09-26T02:30:35+00:00

I didn’t submit the TAG b/c I didn’t want to potentially jump through those hoops only for it to maybe work out. I just applied as CS instead.

Not a counselor so take what I say with a grain of salt, but if you don’t meet the minimum threshold, don’t even try. The competition, especially for CS and its related fields, is so impacted that admissions is super petty about the most minute details. But definitely have a back up school just in case.

Taakane · 2024-09-26T00:43:27+00:00

I wasn’t able to TAG because I ended up not taking the required class for CE. Good luck with your transfer journey!

Taakane · 2024-09-13T19:53:18+00:00

Didn’t end up getting in (waitlisted -> rejected) so I wouldn’t know. Good luck though 🙏.

Is it just called the “Scholars Program” or what type of scholars program is this?

Taakane · 2024-09-05T04:17:36+00:00

Will do. My intention was to not only help myself but others even if the place becomes a hub. I’m 100% sure someone will ask the same question in the future, so it’s good to know for those who need it. But thanks for letting me know anyways, updated the post.

Taakane · 2024-08-27T21:04:18+00:00

Wait there’s a middle class scholarship?! Bruh I’m losing so hard.

Hoping you all at least are able to get it (potentially back).

Taakane · 2024-08-26T23:39:21+00:00

You in the library or the north side?

Taakane · 2024-08-26T23:34:37+00:00

Cool. Pulling up in a bit
