    Flirting doesn't seem to mean anything?

    Hey lads and lassies. An obligatory bi-yearly "I don't understand dating" post by TSM. I hope I find you all well ;) Soooo I've been on lots of dates the last couple of years. And I've heard the refrain lots now that "Women aren't hard to understand, you just have to pay attention and listen."...

    Mom/Parents Holding Me Back/Not Sure What to Do

    It's very hard to reply to this fairly because your post entirely features your PoV of your parents and what they get you to do/say to you. You don't really talk about yourself much in the context of the relationship here at all - only your parent's perception of you. This makes it tough to...

    Dating as a virgin - and everyone seems sex obsessed?

    Last week I met a really nice girl who has apparently secretly liked me for a while. We got a bit drunk and I flirted with her and it was great fun. I even gave her a small kiss. All pretty cool, right? Well, this was until her roommate started telling me how much I should sleep with her...

    Am I being reasonable to be upset over this?

    Thanks for all the input guys, I appreciate it :) I've had this kind of profound revelation recently that a lot of my "friends" actually treat me like **** pretty regularly. I do an awful lot for other people and really don't get much back in return. Not that friendships should be about...

    Questions for the Men

    Depends a lot on how the girl asks or talks to me rather than how regularly. For example there's a girl that clearly fancies me but is so creepy about it that we'll never go on a date. Literally every time I see her she starts messaging me asking if I want to get a drink. Every time. Even if...

    Life as a bald guy

    My plan if I go balding is to shave it all off and work out a lot. None of this comb-over nonsense and fretting, just straight to the "I wrestle bears for fun" look ;) (Optional) Grow some stubble or a beard to make up for it too. Lots of women actually really love that look. And you get...

    How important is sex in a relationship?

    I've had one "serious" relationship so far and ironically it ended up being a relationship in which I could never be sexually intimate with my partner. Not distance related or anything, just we medically couldn't unfortunately. The problem raised it's head about 2 months into our relationship...

    Am I being reasonable to be upset over this?

    I think I was just shocked to be spoken to like that which made me just sit there. I wish now that I'd left, for sure. Hiya Vanilla ^^ I guess it's not that so much which bothers me - she's messed up right now really, so I'd just like to support her as a friend. If she'd actually been...

    Am I being reasonable to be upset over this?

    First of all hi all. It's been ages since I've been on, I see lots of familiar names and I hope you are all well. Big love! :) So I thought I'd ask for your counsel regarding some feelings I had recently because I'm pretty annoyed about the whole situation and it's just bizarre. I find these...

    I really don't just understand any more.

    Actually, from your posts you sound intelligent and thoughtful, not dumb! I think this might be an "issue", in that lots of the friendliest, most intelligent people I've met find it hard developing decent friendships and getting girlfriends. Similarly, I think being socially smart and...

    Dating in your twenties...is it normally like this?

    Really nice to hear someone else finds this too actually! "Oh wow, that barmaid is really hot. And she's smiling at me. But right now she's working and really busy, plus there are loads of people around, so there's no point in me even trying to get a date with her." Thing is, I'm not sure my...

    Dating in your twenties...is it normally like this?

    I'm in my twenties, I've been on about 7 dates this year with girls that sort of age. These have been the first dates I've had, I suppose. And so far I've just been kind of...disappointed. Out of those seven dates, 3 girls were just kind of messing me about for whatever reason. They wanted...

    Negativity of others + stress + lack of "life" = depression

    Yeah. Guy got back from chatting with my boss, all of a sudden my boss wants to meet and talk about my lack of work. Basically right afterwards... Regumika...I find it awkward to explain, but I guess the girls I've met lately just seem "immature". Flakey, unreliable, playing mind-games etc...

    Your Favorite Game of All Time?

    System Shock 2 - Chilling enemies (I still remember shuddering after hearing a cyborg midwife screech "I'll tear out your spiiiiiiine." at me at 3am), creepy setting and some really cool characters. Marie Delacroix? Captain Diego? Badasses. Then you got the bad guys. SHODAN is one of the best...

    Do you ever talk to yourself?

    Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing actually. I find it helps me clarify my thoughts and plan things out...

    What are you thinking right now?

    IMO so many people just seem painfully self-absorbed, shallow and image obsessed these days and I think the internet and modern media has played a big part in that actually. Self-centred social media accounts, instagram accounts that exist purely for selfies, people begging for cash for a new...

    Giving up on love... finally up.

    Sounds like you're in a tough position with relationships, not that it's any fault of your own that you have these trust issues and so on. Especially with the situation with your Dad, that sounds really stressful. If there's anything I've realised with my (very) limited experience, it's that...

    Anyone else out there so single they just want to scream???

    Yeah, I think this is what kinda depresses me about my "singledom." There's being "single" because you want to be single, and you're just enjoying being single. Or because you've left a relationship recently and don't want one right now. Then there's being single involuntarily because you're...

    Loss of hair

    So far I've been very fortunate not to have thinning hair (my father is bald), but I think if it does start going I'll probably shave it. I think it looks pretty good shaved short on most guys to be honest, better than combing it over (which can just look a bit desperate if done badly).

    Negativity of others + stress + lack of "life" = depression

    Figured "depression" was as good a place to post this as any, I guess. To be honest, lately I've just been feeling really down. Weirdly, it's almost a "good" thing. I'm being really productive at work, but it's because I just don't really give a crap about my life outside work anymore. I'm not...
