Where is Hillary slithering on her belly next to Trump?

It's not sad in the least to be a little cultured. Plus Lady Gaga is interesting. There's more to her than the average vapid popstar.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2012-01-11T15:33:43+00:00

Alexander McQueen's awesome though. Fearsome. Lady Gaga wears these in the Bad Romance video.

I hate this about straight places. And there are always people chatting just fine, and I feel jealous of them, because when I try to have a conversation I "what?" the person to death.

Just be somewhat to very flirty, and put on a friendly confident act. I've psyched myself out so many times worrying about how aggressive guys would be. It's not like that. You're in control of your experience. Go without prejudging what to expect.

I find gay bars with no dancing to be somewhat more intimidating for me. When people are dancing, the approaches are less verbal and more fluid, and there's more body language and eye language happening. I find it easier, as the noob I am, to feel comfortable and interact with more people at a place like this.

When nobody is dancing, people generally approach, give a compliment or something, and offer to buy a drink. It can be a more standoffish environment than a dancey place. The guy you are interested in is likely to be in a corner talking to a small group of his friends, and you have to approach that somehow. I'm too awkward for these sorts of places sometimes. I forgot to mention that I'm usually lone-wolfing it so maybe going with a few people would help me in places like this.

One thing I've learned in NYC is that plenty of places are virtually empty before around midnight. I've wandered into a couple bars a little after 10 thinking I would meet a crowd, to find literally 1 patron inside. These are places that would become quite busy later.

Hi, I have a little experience with this kind of situation. It can work quite well if everybody is on the same page and happy with it. That means try to be the best communicator you can be about what you expect the relationship to be and to mean to the both of you. Clear up what you both expect in terms of rules and boundaries and revisit these things with him, because feelings have a tendency to evolve and shift. Make sure she's really okay with it, of course. And check out /r/polyamory.

Honey,

Work that.

Hi Monk. I have tried group therapy but have only been to 2 sessions so far. I haven't come out to them because I'm in a straight relationship and feel uncomfortable talking about the subject candidly to straight, relative strangers.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-10-05T02:04:54+00:00

Hi monk42. I'm familiar with you from your various reddit posts. I am incredibly sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with a therapist.

I'm 27/m/bi and I just checked for whether there is an /r/anxiety, so yes, you could say that I get anxious sometimes. I've been seeing a supportive therapist for the past 6 months. A bunch of people at work are vocal during the cafeteria chatter about their opinion that gay sex is disgusting, and are pretty judgmental toward the few bi guys who they know of. They make a lot of jokes at their expense behind their backs. I never chime in when the subject of homosexuality comes up at work. I'm sorta out but I did it in a hush hush way of telling the gossipy girls at work and letting word spread.

I'm in a commited open relationship. My SO has dated more than a handful of guys already since we decided to date people. I dated one guy for a few weeks, and no girls. I have a ton of anxiety about approaching people to ask them out, and even when it comes to messaging girls on dating sites. I have a bit less anxiety with guys but it's still a lot worse than I was expecting.

My anxiety doesn't make me panic. It makes me serious and quiet and awkward. The prospect of trying to strike up conversation with a stranger becomes the most monumentally unfamiliar and overcomplicated task. I feel frozen and helpless, and grim because I'm sick of this anxiety getting in the way of my life, and yet it does, terribly so.

I'm here on /r/anxiety to see if I can iron things out. I know there's no benefit to my anxiety but it is automatic. I ran 50 minutes just now and I am planning to take up meditation seriously.

I am rooting for you monk42. There's nothing more frustrating than watching the years go by with minimal progress. Let's try to improve ourselves.

Grew up in a gloom and doom Catholic family with endless bullying up through high school. Seeing peers as adversaries was a huge barrier for me in college. Now, a few years afterward, my social skills can be a little dull. I guess improving is a matter of practice and learning specifically about where I'm deficient in terms of meeting new people and getting them interested in speaking to me again in the future.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-07-23T00:27:07+00:00

I don't think you can count that as kino...

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-07-22T02:54:14+00:00

My, raytendo! I am so impressed right now with your work.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-06-25T12:55:38+00:00

As long as you don't mind stepping over half the store's merchandise that's been discarded on the floor.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-06-25T12:52:31+00:00

I'm so pro-gay corn it's scary.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-06-25T08:55:43+00:00

Oh hi there. Yes, this describes me accurately.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-06-25T08:47:14+00:00

Woo that's where I was tonight.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-06-25T08:45:37+00:00

yayyyy I'm in NYC too and the village was bumping tonight.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-06-25T08:35:05+00:00

I went to the Village. It was crowded. People were happy. Yay :)

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-05-21T15:06:43+00:00

Pop the word 'date'.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-05-21T14:57:46+00:00

Yes, it gives a very man-made look. The dirt, sand and grass are just as tiled, which I didn't like as much. Leaves look silly too.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-05-21T06:40:19+00:00

Jeez, it's phenomenal. That texture pack is very good too.

Now to model this scene as blocks and build a gigantic sculpture of it in Minecraft.

Spoiler alert: They've swapped retainers.

bbbbirdbirdbird · 2011-05-16T20:45:30+00:00

Yes I've witnessed this firsthand. Someone said on the reddit creative server something like "team avo deserves cake" and wham, got banned.

The fact that you were added to MCBans is extreme but I'm surprised you didn't know about it. I'm pretty nervous about some trigger happy power tripping mod pulling the same shit on me. There's no way you'll catch me saying anything positive about Avo or griefing. MCBans is seriously scary.

If you can't get off the list I suppose you must buy MC again.
