Asking out girls becomes easier and easier. Just remember that most people want a relationship and getting a date is a great moral boost for any girl/guy.
[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;37615502]With regard to the pectus excavatum discussion, my sister has that. We found out about 6 months ago, and wound up shoving a titanium bar into her chest. She's handled it pretty well, so long as you don't bump into it. And her fitness has improved a lot too; she's dropped 3 minutes off her mile time already (it was 15 minutes before, if she finished).[/QUOTE] Well I hope she keeps on going uphills from there. The only thing I had holding down my physical performance was my asthma. Which I kinda did kill.
[QUOTE=Sunday_Roast;37615759]Well I hope she keeps on going uphills from there. The only thing I had holding down my physical performance was my asthma. Which I kinda did kill.[/QUOTE] Did you take up swimming? I heard that's the best sport for people with asthma.
Oh boy Fresher's week is next week, hopefully I find some interesting people there. :3
So, first day of college today (UK so 16-18 y/o). Went pretty well. I met the most amazing girl ever, too! I talked to her while we were waiting for the induction-speech-thing and we ended up sitting next to each other. We then both happened to be taking photography, so we had to go and ask the teacher something, then we kinda just stayed together (along with another girl who I had pretty much nothing in common with hah) for the whole 3 hour free period we had before we both had to go for the final to lessons of the day. We have so many interests in common it's uncanny. I'm kinda head-over-heels infatuated with her. Only problem really is that she lives about 40 miles away (might not seem much but when the only method of transport is train...), which kinda makes it hard to ask her out... And, how long should I wait before asking her out? Considering today was the first day. Also, her and the other girl were the only people I really made friends with (mostly due to only having 2 other classes afterwards with no free periods), that's not going to be a problem for my social life in the future is it?
[QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;37615829]Did you take up swimming? I heard that's the best sport for people with asthma.[/QUOTE] I took up running, then swimming during winter and then the gym and now I've taken Krav Maga. Now I'm too lazy to diet so I just work out 4-6 times a week to be able to eat anything I feel like.
[QUOTE=throwaway123;37614483]I posted about a girl a while ago. Now, she's not responding to my texts, and this has been going on for 3 days. I realise you guys will just say I should go on and forget her. But the thing is I can't really understand why. Seriously, we texted all like normal with no warning or anything the day before, and then it happened. Nothing at all happened in between, so why between those particular days?[/QUOTE] Maybe she is busy, or lost her phone, or many other reasons. Try contacting her on facebook or im or something before you jump to conclusions. And how much have you texted her since?
[QUOTE=Rhenae;37617955]Maybe she is busy, or lost her phone, or many other reasons. Try contacting her on facebook or im or something before you jump to conclusions.

Other than large events, does anyone know good places to find interesting people (of either gender) in university?
actual quote of one of my friends after i told him i found out i'm dyslexic: "well obviously it isn't that bad for you since you didn't know until now that you had it, right? it seems like you've gotten by fine so far" telling a high school dropout "you've gotten by fine so far"

[QUOTE=areolop;37618551]You dropped out because you were dyslexic. You cannot be serious[/QUOTE] i didn't realize i was dyslexic but i got extremely ill because of stress related to social anxiety and my academic failures. i've always been passionate about learning but wasn't able to retain information because of the study methods being forced on me. i had frequent migraines, nausea, and panic attacks and eventually called it quits.
[QUOTE=throwaway123;37618220]Since she didn't respond anymore? 4 texts, two the first day, and one each on the following days.[/QUOTE] Saying what?

Or if someone texts you something pretty pointless and you don't see it for a few hours you prob won't respond. I would say it matters. And i'm still of the opinion there may be many reasons she isn't messaging him.

If so, then you have gotten to a point where most can't even tell they should be striving for.[/QUOTE] i've figured out what i want to do with my life but i still have a huge amount of difficulty getting the grades i want in college. for example, over the summer i took a psych class. a huge part of my grade was based on two essays, but the prompt was very brief and vague and i misinterpreted it. i got a b in the class when i otherwise would've gotten an a because i did the assignment incorrectly - i emailed her an adjusted version of it with the mistakes corrected but she decided against adjusting my grade for it. and i felt incredibly sick during my chem final in the spring semester and dropped from an a to a c in the class because i couldn't focus on the exam (or breathe). however, now that i know what the problem is i've been looking for ways to get around it. my friend's girlfriend is also dyslexic but has known her whole life, so she's offered to sort of take me under her wing. not only that but hopefully my professors will be a bit more understanding now that i'm able to explain what the problem is.
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;37618234]Other than large events, does anyone know good places to find interesting people (of either gender) in university?[/QUOTE] Talk to people in your classes I guess. It's what I'm trying to do

[QUOTE=Turnips5;37619758]dunno about where to find interesting people in particular, but if you're living in university halls for your first year you will almost certainly make good friends with your surrounding block mates[/QUOTE] By interesting people I mean "interesting guys" and "women". I.e. I tend to find women interesting (as in good company). In whatever situation. Sure I'm looking for a mate too, but I appreciate my female friends more than my male.
so turnips advice still stands...
[QUOTE=Autumn;37619893]so turnips advice still stands...[/QUOTE] It would be...If I were living in halls.
to be fair, the general assumption when somebody says they're going to university is that they're going to live in halls as it is though, your best bet really is to go out and socialise as much as you can. freshers was pretty much invented for this you keep, keep asking for these magical places where ___ type of person hangs out. it doesn't really work like that, people will gather at places, and whilst there might be certain types of people to hang at certain places, it's nothing definitive just get out, go out and meet people. that's how you'll find people
In my geography class I saw this really cute girl and I was going to talk to her after class but I lost her in the crowd on the way out. I'm going to have to wait until wednesday to try to talk to her again. And tomorrow I have archaeology again with that girl who sat beside me and I didn't talk to. Hopefully I can avoid making that super awkward.

I'm not. This is an advice thread, I'm looking for [I]advice[/I] from people that know better, trying to find out a little. Not sure why you reacted like that. But I understand what you mean otherwise.
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;37619952]It would be...If I were living in halls.[/QUOTE] it's fair enough that you aren't living in halls, not everyone does anyway autumn is right, it's practically impossible to NOT make great friends at university, just talk to people in freshers events
you can also ask people to introduce you if you know a couple of people, you'd be surprised how many people you can meet that way.
Jesus christ I am always full of spaghetti when it comes to responding to girls (like in the past the "i love you" texts) I stopped going after this girl about a month ago after I realized that I didnt have time for a girlfriend or a relationship given my work and school schedule. However, today something changed... and I'm not sure why. Today she contacts me with " my name, lets hangout soon - I miss you" This is the same girl from prom btw. So, now I got to set this up with my impossible schedule but I am confident that I can make it work
Aw fuck. First day of university just started and no matter how optimistic you start the semester the same old shit gets you everyday: - Old men arguing loudly in the train (to the point of insult) - Train has radio incredibly loud - Being forced to listen to the same shit everyday on the trains radio - Calculus III theorics class is overpopulated. Room was so hot it looked like sauna. - Calculus Auditory has no windows - Asshole professor refused to open doors to let breathable air in - I happened to sign myself in the most difficult subjects of the second year of my course (Computer Electrotechnic Engeneering) all in the same semester. - Have to study like shit - Timetable looks like swiss cheese. - Arrive home late and tired because the train only comes back home from hour to hour. Hello, life of celibacy! :v:
