    How do I be interesting?

    Combine all three, and you've got something interesting.

    Feeling blindsided, what happened?

    Feels like something is up. Maybe it's just her personality, communication style or whatever... but I know if I was keen on someone, I wouldn't leave them potentially hanging on a reply to a text that long. Even a simple 'Hey thanks, yeah it was fun too' or something from her. I'd advise just...

    I really appreciate how nice you have been

    As someone who struggles with depression himself - it's best to keep all that stuff away from her. Avoid 'leaning' on a girl for direct emotional comfort. If you have to, talk and vent with your mom or someone very close (family) like that. Now, that doesn't mean you can't get emotional comfort...

    What should you do when a woman insults you?

    No, bringing it up now all of a sudden is just going to make you look like a weirdo. Especially since you already discussed it. She probably just said something stupid in the moment. Guys can have children for decades longer than a woman can (or safe for her to). If it feels like she likes to...

    The *No Contact* Challenge! ( Read this if you just got dumped)

    No contact is not to get her back. It's for you to be able to move on and heal, for a better woman in the future. It just so happens that same action of no contact also maximizes your chances of reconciliation - if you choose to. There are many hundreds of stories on here. Many guys, including...

    Crazy nightmare date anecdote: Rock Climbing

    Wow, she seems like a real piece of work. Not to mention a terrible partner for climbing. I've been climbing for half a year (still fairly new), and I would say you shouldn't be pressuring your partner to hurry, or go higher. Encourage yes, recommend what to grab or how to progress... but you...

    No kiss on 2nd date

    She might not be comfortable doing such acts (kissing) in public, even if there's not many people around/dark. I know some have no problem with it (and some couples overly so imo), and some feel it's improper to do so in an open area. Not sure if that applies to her or not. I'd build more...

    Would you have done the same?

    I'll go against what might be the grain in this thread, but I think you did the correct thing in general (distancing yourself from her). The three things that highlighted it for me was... Outspoken promiscuity - nonchalant expression of hooking up with someone just for sex. Less about the...

    GF Flaked.. Slightly Suspicious!

    I wouldn't think too much of it. I know being sick and such can mess with your mood and motivation. You might feel great waking up fresh from a sleep, then 3-4 hours later, feel the energy just drain completely. I wouldn't be texting much either - just would be focused on my own sick feeling and...

    I am in a pathetic state

    The short answer of it, is yes. It's a behaviour/emotional problem that is ingrained deep within them (mostly due to childhood and parents are particularly influential). Applying broadly to mental issues in general, even people who are incredibly self aware of what the problem is - can take...

    One of the biggest things that kills me with Dating

    I'd try to make this your number one goal to work on. It's really easy to be very harsh on yourself - I do it as well too often. But... as corny as it sounds, you have to be your own best friend. To encourage and support you. It's the one thing that will always be with you your entire life. And...

    The *No Contact* Challenge! ( Read this if you just got dumped)

    First, I'll say - don't be so hard on yourself. You did the right thing, even if it took a bit later than it could have been. As odd as it may sound - it's good in a sense that you're feeling guilt over this, as this shows you have some sense of empathy towards your wife and the situation. Some...

    Abroad semester in Ireland

    I'd be cautious around them, considering the day and night behaviour. Relatively consistent behaviour between interactions, being friendly - that's something that can be handled. Being nearly ignored the day after? That should be your first clue not all is quite right, and I think you and the...

    Is there any point to this?

    I'd take a moment to think about what makes another person interesting to you. What would make you go "Hey, that guy is pretty cool" or "Man, that girl has her life together". For me, in a very boiled down sense, two things are good - some area of pursuit in an intellectual field, and some kind...

    Is this kind of behaviour something to be wary about? (or otherwise a red flag)

    The behaviour I'm talking about are women who are immediately very flirty with you - stars in their eyes, like they're totally entranced with you. Seemingly pressing close to you. Then shortly after, seem to drop this relatively intense attention, and focus on something else. At times... it...

    Why can't BPD women let things go?

    I've had this done to me as well. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) it was early on, so it was a major red flag... didn't make it much better, but still. There was too much bull**** with her. I think it's easier (and most possibly best) to cut as much contact as possible with these women - so your...

    Field report including LTR cheat girl and more - rate my game (learning everyday)

    I disagree with the notion of 'her bf doesn't make her happy if she cheats'. Breaking up and finding some other guy is always an option. And some girls cheat and chase after ****, even if they're in a reasonably happy relationship, aka being hoes. There's plenty of girls that have no morals...

    Ex wife ****ed someone else while divorced

    I agree it's possible, through the way you mentioned. It's just that it requires consistent mental retraining (years in scale), and a large self-awareness of how their mental structure is formed. Knowing what you're trying to instill in yourself, and how exactly to retrain your mind. And...

    How to Maintain Control After Hot Ex Re-engages You

    There's potential for change to occur. Usually it takes years, but some progress can be made in a year. It largely depends on whether the personality issues stemmed as a result of the drinking, or if it merely destroyed the inhibition holding back them. Example, my grandfather was an alcoholic...
