So I recently rejoined single-gaf, after my wife admitted to having cheated several years ago in the beginning of our marriage. I tried to get over it, couldn't, so best thing to do was split. We're young and don't own much so the divorce stuff was pretty simple and civil. Anyways, it'll be final in the next week or so.

Background info out of the way, last night at my job this girl that comes in regularly with her family just starts talking to me. I manage a local theater so the fact that she missed about 5-10 mins of the hobbit was pretty telling that she was interested. Long story short I got her number and man did it feel good.

I'm 22 and haven't been single for over five years. My ex and I started dating in high school when we were both 17. I almost felt guilty at first but then reality set in that this was okay to do. I'm not looking for anything serious but still felt awesome after she finally walked back into the theater.

Btw, I got her number, she didn't get mine. When should I text her?

I kinda doubt I will have another shot with this girl. That said, any tips on how to move the make out session to the next level so that I may prevent future fuck-ups?
How heavy are your make out sessions? I've never found it difficult to transition.

At least she didn't hold her palm over her drink :lol (meta thread reference joke) Was there anything sexual going on except for kissing? Tugging at clothes? Why not just say "let's continue this elsewhere".

Sorry to hear about that, but good story too :) There are no rules about the texting. When do you want to text her? Do it then. Normally I'd advice against reaching out but you're gonna have to in this case.

Hey guys,

Simple problem, met a girl recently and have been out on a couple of dates (about 4-5) but haven't been able to escalate to a kiss or anything. I thought she didn't want anything to do with me, but it turns out she's incredibly love shy. She has said she likes me, in a somewhat contrived way but still can't seal in the kiss. I know she's love shy for a few reasons, she's 25 and hasn't had sex in over 4 years. She's only ever had one boyfriend which lasted for 6 months when she was younger (19) and I gather from her friends that she doesn't really like hugs. I can literally feel her shaking a bit when I hug her. It's really odd.


I kinda like this girl (last few girls I've dated were lame in comparison, but had no problems with physical contact) but I don't really know how to deal with it. My best guess is to tell her that I'm into her, and that I don't want to pressure her and if I'm ever going to far or fast she can just tell me to slow down, or that whenever she's ready. I'm concerned that there might be some awful history somewhere in there but I don't really want to bring it up.

Could use some help. :)

Well I'm getting a new phone plan within the next day or so, so I figured it only made sense to text her after I've gotten the new phone. That way I avoid having to send her the whole 'this is my new number scrap the old one' text. But yeah, now that I think about it, giving out my number seems like a much better idea. That way if they text or call me we can set something up, if not, then it's whatever.

"hey its john doe from the theatre" wait for response. After that only text about makIng plans, invite her to something you will be doing anyway. Dont do the one hour text conversation.
This is the only kind of situation where its not bad to reach out. After this she needs to do the initiating of contact

I mean, your plan sounds pretty solid so far. Just make sure she knows you're being sincere, try to maintain eye contact and be relaxed about it

this one's probably better suited to the anonymous thread but i suppose it is do with a girl so i'll lay it bare here.

a little bit of backstory - i have a slight thing for one my best friend's housemates and we've made out a bit at parties over the weeks but nothing more serious that. she's a nice girl but i think we're mutually aware that we're not looking for anything proper from it. compounding that idea is the fact that we only get physical when wired and other than that i only talk to her when visiting my friend.

which brings us to yesterday night at my birthday party. again we're both fucked up and i'm feeling particularly wavy on ketamine. she takes me to her room, we sit down on her bed to continue chatting and then she starts popping some antidepressants which i take too. from that we start talking about some really raw, emotional stuff about her parents she's going back to visit over christmas - her dad was a depressive and physically abused her as kid so she grew up with her grandparents but her mum stuck with him. she's going back for the first time this christmas to meet them since her mum says he's well again but she's torn up about letting him back into her life. i listened to her and tried to relate some of my experiences coming from a failed marriage and reassured her with hugs but i felt way out of my depth. soon after my friend comes in telling me he's leaving and after that we return to the party nothing more said about it. she then start sobering up as the party winds down and lets me sleep in her bed whilst she babysits the stragglers refusing to go. i talk to her the morning after about how her night was to which she says she blacked out for some of it, which is probably true or just as likely she didn't want to talk about it in a sober state right then and there. i let her catch up on some sleep and leave the house.

haven't spoken to her since but might see her tomorrow possibly, if not it won't be until well into january or possibly february. really not sure what i should say and when i should say it, if it's worth saying anything at all

So I'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend. Last weekend was her 21st birthday party, and we threw it at my apartment. Mostly randoms showed up, so I didn't know that many people except a few.

Before I go any further let me say that my dad is an alcoholic. My girlfriend knows that I think drinking to get drunk is stupid and that it can ruin families like it did mine. My dad cheated on my mom several times and has done much worse throughout the years.

After the party at my apartment we all go downtown for some drinks. We go to a bar, and there's a small dance floor upstairs and they start dancing. I should also note that I'm DD. So everyone is dancing and I notice my girlfriend say something. Next thing I know she pushes this black guy and he pushes her back. She hits the floor, so naturally I shove him and he punches me in the face. He runs off with his group and I'm left alone with a hole in my lip bleeding everywhere. Idk what my girlfriend or everyone else was doing, so I left the bar with some napkins and sat on some bench a block away.

My girlfriend and co. comes out and says that the guy touched her butt or something. She then starts screaming that she's gonna find him and beat his ass. I tell her that's not gonna happen and she gets all pissed off at me. We get back to the car and she has a panic attack for what seems forever and throws up several times. Then we get home and she bitches out my roommates and calls their gfs fat and ugly etc etc. They end up leaving and sleeping somewhere else it was so bad.

I'll skip the other stuff but in short she was insane. I had to get 6 stitches in my mouth since there was a hole in my lip after getting hit.

So we talked this week about stuff and her friend was having her 21st birthday party tonight. My girlfriend told me she wasn't going cause of what happened etc. etc. She's like I'm not gonna go out for awhile since all that stuff went down. After I get off work, I text her and she tells me she's out with her friend. I'm like what? It's like she didn't even listen to anything or follow through with what she said.

I guess I'm just disappointed beyond belief since she lied and pull this shit after everything that happened last weekend.
It sounds like she's just a bad/immature drunk. A buddy of mine ended up marrying someone who was like that and the only resolution was her stopping drinking completely. It was a big transition for her since she loved going out, but to save their marriage she realized she needed to stop. She tried controlling her drinking, but couldn't, so her therapist told her she had to go cold turkey. She's been sober for like 3 years now, and their marriage has been getting better. For me that would be a deal-breaker, but luckily my GF is a fun person when she's drunk.

If you want to save the relationship, tell her she needs to control her drinking better. If she is unwilling, bail.

So you can get to the point of making out in a private place - that's the hardest step. As you're making out, start caressing her back, her hair, her butt, her waist, her breasts. First over the clothes, then under them. The key is to slowly escalate to the point where you both know the next step is to get naked. After you've done a bit of the caressing, start taking her shirt off. If she's ready, she'll raise her arms. Then more and more clothes come off. Hopefully she starts taking yours off too. Before you're totally naked, grab her hand and start moving her towards the bedroom.

It's all about the slow escalation, where you're getting more and more intimate with her, step by step.

My interests are pretty wide and include music, sports, MMA, gym, and fashion. I'm pretty much down for doing anything active or interesting. I'm not sure what kind of person I think is awesome though or what you mean.

Some people think I'm ugly but I think the bigger thing is people think I'm a loser or somehow I don't fit in.

Okay, so here is my story.

My ex and I dated for five years, we are both 20 now. We were inseparable. We both came into the relationship with depression. In June, I called my ex something really mean while picking on her looks because I felt she didn't get dressed up enough for the date and was really insecure and assumed didn't love me anymore because she didn't get dressed up and was going to leave me.

I was a fucking mess and dragging her down too.

Her parents being upset after finding all this out, and her really opening up to me with the things I was doing that bothered her, I started therapy (and still go). It has saved my life. More on that later.

So her parents said she couldn't see me anymore. We talked for a little after that but her parents weren't happy and rather than piss them off more, I stopped talking to her. About a month after we broke up, she went on OKCupid and started dating a guy, who within a week or two into July, became her boyfriend (and still is).

During this time, she was receptive to me, still texting me, wanting to hang out, seeming sad at the end of our relationship but by late August, I knew it was done.

Then... she saw me. Bad things happened and she felt horrible about seeing me. Her depression got worse and she came home for school. When I found out what happened (despite her parents saying I shouldn't know), I talked to her. For hours. It was a serious situation and I was really concerned for her. I expressed that I still had feelings for her, and she said "She can't say the same because she had a boyfriend" but never said she didn't care the same way back, similarly, she said she would be with me if she "could". I didn't change my ground and said we couldn't talk if we couldn't work on us, and not to text me unless she was serious.

She never did text me about getting back together. But she did text me multiple times. Saying she missed me, was thinking about me, hoping I do well on finals. It was the recent text that got me to call, to see what was going on.

I told her about my life (my friends, old and new, school, concerts, activities, even the girl I'm currently interested in), and she did the same... I was happy to hear her so happy. We both said we were the happiest we've ever been ever.. but we both think about each other a lot. By the end of the 3 hour conversation (after reminding her not to text me, because it's difficult for me to deal with) I asked her what she thought about getting back together. She said she can't. She loves her boyfriend, her family will look down on her and me, and she is scared I will hurt her again. I told her I can only make one promise, not to hurt her again, and if I do I obviously don't deserve her, that I wouldn't come back in her life if I was sure I wasn't going to hurt her, and I'd do my best to regain the trust of her parents.

Though her emotions haven't changed from September to now... it's clear it will never happen again between us, despite how badly I want it to.

I'm currently seeing a girl who I really like A LOT and have another girl I am interested in, but neither are as special as this girl. I hurt her, and have been in therapy since, not because I lost her, but because she told me I hurt her. That she couldn't be herself and honest with me. It made me want to be a better person and since then I am so much happier, I am a more accepting person, and everyone (family and friends) say its like I'm a different person. Mostly everyone around ME said I needed a girl with thicker skin and I didn't need therapy, but that was definitely not the answer...

The obvious answer (and the one both of us get from everyone around us) is it will never work and you are bound to make each other miserable. I don't believe that and I never will. I miss this girl in my life.

I told her not to text me unless she wants to work on us, she said okay and bye and that was it. Somehow I doubt I'll ever hear from her again. I feel like I went back 3 months of progress but I didn't make as much of a fool out of myself.

It's whatever. I needed to post this because therapy can't come soon enough.

What's done is done, I'm afraid. You have new prospects (the girl you seem to like "A LOT", and that other one), and dwelling on your ex is just going to impede the progress you seem to be making. Your ex seems happy enough, and it sounds like she wants you to be happy as well.
You say the two new girls aren't as special, but you'll never find out if you keep dwelling on this. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I don't think that she understands that I can't be going out all the time and starting fights or whatever happens when she goes out. I'm going to be 23 soon and in charge of 20+ little kids for the rest of my life. I can't be doing crazy shit when I'm going to be a member of the community and parents are trusting me with their kids. Let alone if I ever get in trouble with the authorities I'm fucked for life.

I know you guys might be in a discussion. But I wanted to know. What is confidence?

Because it can be many things apparently. I asked quite a few people today and some say it is a belief in yourself that you are capable of doing what you want/need to do. It is tightly tied with self-esteem and self-worth. And the easiest way to gain confidence is to get out there and take risks. With every success your confidence grows.

Is this true?

Agreed. We are all born confident, many are just taught out of it so to speak. Same thing with self-worth etc. When you realize that everything is inside of you and that you have just forgotten about it, it becomes easier to reach it again. But there are no real step-by-step guides on how to achieve all this.

Guys I'm screwed. A girl is asking me what I'm doing over the weekend and the truth is I'm not doing a damn thing. What can I possibly say? I can't lie and say I'm doing something interesting because then if she wants to tag along it won't work. If I tell the truth I look like a total loser. I can ignore the message but then that's not helping anything either.

You don't like your a loser if your not doing anything right now. Believe it or not, it's completely normal not to have a packed schedule at all times, and acts to your advantage in this case, because if you lied or had something to do, chances are she might politely back off and try some other time, or not at all. zethren is right, your overanalyzing this, and inferring more than someone can reasonably assume.

Just say something to the effect of "nothing at the moment".

Well I'm not dead in the water yet but it seems like she wants me to take charge somehow and invite her to do something either this week or the next.

I lurk this thread something fierce cause I'm interested in the stories people tell. Out of all the posters I remember, you've gone backwards since I've started lurking. This is a bad attitude. Fuck those other dudes, you don't need to match it. If she is keen enough to want to hang out, then you've already got one over them. Take her out or forget about her.

Obviously she's keen enough to want to hang out I'm not denying that but I have to be able to at least deliver a good time and that's where things get difficult.

It's not about delivering a good time. She isn't sitting there saying "I want to be given a good time", she is probably just thinking "I want to hang out with MiDNIGHTS", simple as that. So give her that, and while doing so do something kinda fun. Things you find fun and think she will too, introduce them to her. Keep it simple. If she has shown enough interest to want to hang out then the hardest part is already done. IMO you're building this up too much, it's just catching up. This post I have made now is too much. You are the good time, so just go deliver yourself.

I can ignore the message but then that's not helping anything either.

It never ends.

She doesn't have to know about your typical weekends, and if she feels like spending time with you in the future, your typical weekend might change anyway.

MiDNiGHTS, you're over thinking this BIG TIME. Stop!

Just take her out for some lunch, or a drink (would help you loosen up a bit). Just go out and spend an afternoon/night together. Talk, tell eachother about yourselves.

If there is a connection there, you'll feel it and the date will go smoothly and you'll both enjoy yourselves. If there is no connection there, then that's just the way it is. It's hard to proceed further in that instance.

Basically, just go out with her and focus on having a good time. Don't boggle yourself down with the worries of trying to impress her, trying hard to make sure she has a good time, etc. If you're having a good time, chances are she is too.

It's a date dude, not a lunch time meeting with the president. Chill out.

How depressing to know we're already fast approaching OT4.

Seems like yesterday I posted in OT1, and not much has changed for me. Ha.

You: "Not doing a damn thing, why?"

Her: "blah blah teehee just curious teehee"

I can't be doing crazy shit when I'm going to be a member of the community and parents are trusting me with their kids. Let alone if I ever get in trouble with the authorities I'm fucked for life.
The hard truth is that if she wants to be with you she NEEDS to understand your position. If she's unwilling to do that, then there's no way the relationship will work. Your head is on straight and you're thinking the right way. To me it sounds like you're at different stages of your life. Sorry man.

After you've done a bit of the caressing, start taking her shirt off. If she's ready, she'll raise her arms. Then more and more clothes come off. Hopefully she starts taking yours off too. Before you're totally naked, grab her hand and start moving her towards the bedroom.

It's all about the slow escalation, where you're getting more and more intimate with her, step by step.
This seems like solid advice. Thanks. Really need to work on the escalation part. Ooh well, another fuck-up to add to my list. Looking back I can see the exact moments where I messed up. Time to move forward though.

Don't even know how to find people I'd think are interesting. Onwards, I guess.

Clubs don't helps as much as you think they do, GAF!

I'm not depressed or anything right now, though, so that's a plus.
