The Super Friendly Social and Love Advice Thread v2 - General

I like to bicycle. Last summer I got up to eighteen mile bike rides, and this summer I hope to reach thirty! I brought a friend with me on a short twelve-mile loop once, but he had to borrow my dad's bike because he didn't have his own, and the large seat gave him swamp ass. My point being, make sure your bike seat is properly sized, or else you'll get swamp ass, and that's an awkward way to lead off a conversation.

[QUOTE=1chains1;34333701]Oh I see youre going to rob the coffin got ya! On a more serious note, all of this is reminding me when I tried to date a girl and when I went over to her house, her dad gave me one of those god damn interview sheets he wanted me to fill out to have permission to date her. wtf. Now that I am older I kind want one of those modified to be a date interview just to hand to random women for shits and giggles.[/QUOTE] Stand one a street corner and hand them out.

[QUOTE=Contag;34333687]there are plenty of mature people around it's just a matter of finding them[/QUOTE] yeah I know but even if I did, I'm not very mature looking I'd like to think I act mature but the way I look at the moment, really little and not being able to afford anything nice besides t-shirts and jeans, I wouldn't be able to attract any men. I still look like I'm 16, so that's a huge problem for me right now so I'm kinda just gonna wait until I can make more money and get a new wardrobe and grow into my own a little

You just want to be at your "prime" by the sound of it.

yeah pretty much! didn't think of it like that

[QUOTE=Pascall;34333621]I'm a strong hispanic woman who only needs my computer weh No really though, not interested in dating atm. Can't find anyone who suits my fancy. Waiting a bit until I can attract the more mature crowd. I'm at that awkward age of not quite a teenager but not quite an adult so dating wouldn't really do me much good at the moment.[/QUOTE] are you in college? college forces you to pretty much socialize with a lot of people you wouldn't normally socialize with

at this point i can't even bring myself to look for a girl hell i can't even bring myself to talk to people, i just don't know what to say anymore it's the crappy canadian weather, i need a vacation

Coffee shops always have lots of bearded men pretending to read books and tippy tap at laptops while scoping out young women from the corners of their eyes.

I am hung up on a girl who is unavailable and it is terrible. I know it's awful in my brain and try not to be so attached but the rest of me doesn't care. There's another girl I like who is available though and I think I just wanna bite the bullet and ask her out and hope that fixes it.

[QUOTE=Pascall;34333770]yeah pretty much! didn't think of it like that[/QUOTE] You realize I've been telling you that for weeks whenever that subject comes up right?

[QUOTE=Makol;34333724]Stand one a street corner and hand them out.[/QUOTE] I would do this if my car worked. [quote]yeah I know but even if I did, I'm not very mature looking I'd like to think I act mature but the way I look at the moment, really little and not being able to afford anything nice besides t-shirts and jeans, I wouldn't be able to attract any men.

For example you love beavis and butthead but it is not considered very mature. Who gives a shit? It is a funny show. Just chill and do what interests you and you will be happy. edit- oh god why did I put img tags instead of quote tags?

[QUOTE=Pascall;34333801] not in that exact wording lol[/QUOTE] lol so?!?

[QUOTE=Mon;34333825]jesus, i'm in the exact same boat[/QUOTE] Awful, innit

[QUOTE=thisispain;34333795]yeah i do hang around coffee shops a lot[/QUOTE] Me too. There's a lovely little place down the street called [I]Picasso's.[/I] They make a mean mocha, and have live music every Friday and Saturday night. Thursday is open mic, which I usually avoid because I have a low tolerance for off-beat poetry.

I can't go to coffee shops because I look weird just drinking raspberry iced tea or something. I don't drink coffee. :(

I don't really socialize much at the moment. I'm only on my college campus twice a week for a hour and being literally the only white guy in my class I get funny looks so I keep to myself. Plus I'm moving at the end of the year or early next year so I spend my time with my dog and doing stuff for my neighbors to make money.

(yes one of them is star bucks but the people there dress so varied it is good studying material)

[/QUOTE] aw no it's just that people at community college aren't very happy or eager to socialize. but it's also not a giant economic burden so there's a good side to everything.

[QUOTE=Pascall;34333876]I can't go to coffee shops because I look weird just drinking raspberry iced tea or something. I don't drink coffee. :([/QUOTE] That's better than the weirdo I see at the coffee shop around the corner from my house that only has water and a scone but he doesn't eat or drink it. He just sits there looking at people.

[QUOTE=thisispain;34333890]aw no it's just that people at community college aren't very happy or eager to socialize. but it's also not a giant economic burden so there's a good side to everything.[/QUOTE] Yeah I know that. I've met some cool people at school! Just no one I'd really be interested in dating. Not so far, anyway.

[QUOTE=Pascall;34333915]Yeah I know that. I've met some cool people at school! Just no one I'd really be interested in dating. Not so far, anyway.[/QUOTE] Isn't it obvious? You need money to get a new wardrobe. You want to date a more mature man. You go to a community college. You should date a professor! Good money, he is mature and you get to see him everyday!

woah that is a pretty good idea but so far all of my professors have been old or women

[QUOTE=Pascall;34333876]I can't go to coffee shops because I look weird just drinking raspberry iced tea or something. I don't drink coffee. :([/QUOTE] I don't even think that matters. Coffee shops are like bars with warm lighting, cozier seating, and less Affliction shirts. Get a muffin and some tea, if that's what does you, and take a seat somewhere. [I]Picasso's[/I] strategically places their chairs around little islands, and pretty much guarantees that there's not enough seats to go around. The brilliance behind this is that, when you see an open seat at one of the islands, you have to walk up and ask the people seated around it "is this seat taken?" First contact.

teacher student relationships are weird imo

I don't think there's a legitimate coffee house or shop for miles outside of the city.

No ignoring her outright, just trying to keep from starting conversations with her if I don't need to. I don't want to get rid of her as a friend though, that's what worries me. There's nothing wrong with our friendship except how I feel.
