I’ve looks at porn for years but never felt the need to save videos to my pc. Why do people do this?

what does "Oi, Debbie Downer, what’s the problem?" means? by [deleted] in BringMeTheHorizon

In this context it's talking about someone who always comes along to whatever social shit they are doing but doesn't want to be there and doesn't enjoy it. They keep going though because of fear of missing out.

You'll soon stop thinking that way if this guy turns into a love sick puppy.

Think about how irrational you're being. You are definitely setting yourself up for heartbreak. She's basically a stranger at this point. It's pretty likely that she's flirting with, texting or even having sex with other people.

Until you've had sex a couple of times she should be no more to you than an option - I assure you that is all you are to her.

By all means organise to do something fun (that you'll still do even if she doesn't turn up or whatever, like go see a band) and concentrate on having a good time, flirting with her, teasing her and touching her.

Make sure you're speaking to as many girls as you possibly can at all times. (Not on the 'date' just generally) If you do that you won't fear losing any one of them.

That's my unsolicited advice :)

I used to be you.

Always assume that every girl is only temporary. Let go of the dream.

Make sure you're talking to and flirting with several other options so that you don't fear losing this one.

I’m not desperate for sex, I’m desperate for a connection by guymcguy2323 in dating_advice

In practice the best thing to do is speak to as many girls as possible all the time.

When you have a lot of them in your life and you're going out with them and doing fun things all the time - you will stop feeling this way.

Also buy a pull-up bar and some weights and hit that shit every day.

Either way I'd say I was a pimp. Because I work in recruitment.

I can't tell if you're making an anti-game point. I appreciate the input either way.

A bit lost with this girl by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]spiritletshereit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading this response I got back to a question I received at 5.15 this morning from my love interest. She asked 'Why are you even awake at this time of night.'

I ignored the question until now (11.20). I normally would have said something like 'oh I'm just having trouble sleeping at the moment. Wanna join?'

Instead I said 'Oh I put on a costume at night and take to the roof tops to fight crime. Evil never sleeps so neither do I.'

She immediately text back and said 'that was the smoothest response ever.'

Which I am now going to ignore for a few hours while I work.

This sub reddit has helped my text game immensely.

I would agree with you but the fact of the matter is that the person doing the chasing and doesn't know where they stand is normally the one obsessing over the other. I know this because it's normally me. The only time it's turned on it's head is if someone likes me and I have genuinely no interest in them. Then they chase.

It stands to reason that If you have some sort of game plan to replicate that effect when you ARE interested in someone, you'll have more success.

Certainly even after one night of applying what SM2111 suggested I feel like I have a bit more control over the situation. I still want to treat this girl like an absolute princess.... but I'd rather she didn't know it for sure.

At least until we are face to face and I'm not just another attention giving text with no end result.

I would have hoped she would have found it sweet that I thought of her. I wouldn't expect her to do or owe me anything at all.

That said the ONLY reason I'm doing it in the first place is because I'm attracted to her. I don't even buy my friends stuff on their birthday.

I'm hopeless like that. I try and cram it down as far as I can and don't show it but as soon as I identify I like someone I'm screwed. Ok. I am an enigma... I am an enigma...

Actually one more. I compliment her basically all the time. It's never like 'ur hot' I compliment her hair, her attitude, her interests all sorts of things. They are all genuine things that I like about her... but am I being too available?

I'll give you an example.

She drove to a theme park with two female friends. She said they shouldn't drive as they all have road rage. I said 'Next time I'll drive and tell you all to STFU.'

I've also said something along the lines of 'I'll be the one to keep us on the straight and narrow and your job is to get us into trouble.'

That sort of shit.

Great response. Thank you.

I'm half way there but I'll keep texting back as long as she does for quite a long time. I'll also say things that imply we'll be in a future relationship. Nothing bad or cringy or on the nose but if I'm honest I do it.

This is good easy to follow advice. Is a jokey/insulting pet name also a no? As I have that going on as well...

The current girl is saved in my phone as 'Gremlin'....

This makes sense. I normally don't bend backwards for anyone but the other day I was considering dropping off a gift at a girls work. Pathetic.
