Today I microwaved a bowl of soup, and when I opened the microwave it was at the back. From the angle I was looking at, I couldn't see the bowl and for a second I was convinced the soup disappeared somehow. You can't make an independent decision when you're 4. If you didn't believe in heaven it would be because someone/something had convinced you also. It takes a lot of unbiased information to make a good independent decision, and even then it will be swayed somewhat.

What's it like in the reserves?

Yay let's stop our body's cooling system during exercise! :thumbdown: The smell is the bacteria, hours AFTER you've been sweating. Meaning they didn't put it on in the morning, or they didn't shower.

Let her be your wingman, girls are better at it than guys. Plus if you're with a hot girl it's an instant dhv.

oh no she was pretty attatched to me too, she admitted it when we were dating, and she actaully said this is the slowest shes taken things with a guy. I dont know what i did wrong, I want to talk to her one last time to achieve closure. I just hope she'll be kind enough to listen Women think differently to men, chances are she has a different interpretation to what she said to you. Taking it slow is also pretty much meaningless anyway until you're like 18 imo. I suggest you forget trying to get closure because I don't think you'll get it while you have feelings for her, but do what you want.

tbh it sounds like she was attracted, but you got attached waaaaayy faster than she did and you freaked her out. I mean she gave a pretty bad reason for your 'break up', and now she seems indifferent to you. Delete her number, or at least don't talk to her for a few months.

Creatine is more useful to sprinters than weight lifters.

It's not as bad as you think, unless] you let it get to that point. You don't need her, and this 'gaping pit' is no more than a hardwired feeling caused by evolution with the purpose of keeping 2 people together to take care of their baby. She's no more special than the next girl.

A part of me died that day, I've learned to be emotionally detatched. still.... I always will have this empty feeling Do your best to move on, cut her out of your life completely if you feel you need to. If you don't it can bite you in the ass later.

From what I understand they aren't having sex anyway.. If that's true the only thing you really gain is blue balls and the risk of heartache.

ahhh I was hoping for 2010... Deus ex 1 was [bleep]ing amazing, invisible war was a joke. Hopefully it will live up to DX1's rep.

Someone at whirlpool pointed me towards powertoys tweak ui, which let me set up an autologin. Now I can have a password for when I leave my computer on, but I don't have to put it in on boot up. :thumbup:

It has just occurred to me that I haven't spent money on alcohol other than 2 cases of beer since new years. Once of which I haven't started drinking, the other was mostly when I had a beer with dinner at home. Yet I've been drunk pretty much every weekend since then. I keep going to parties/bbqs/gatherings with the intention of not drinking, and then everyone is always like 'funny, here have some of mine' etc. Even at clubs :blink:

Tip of the day: If a mate who isn't a close one asks you to pick them up from an hour away in a few hours time through txt, wait a half hour and then txt yes. Meanwhile he has found someone else, and you still get credit for the offer. :thumbup: Today I'm going out (like most fridays) and I'm dreading an 8-5 shift tomorrow :(

Every man needs 3 pairs of shoes. Casual, running and formal. Get brown leather for formal, and something white for casual. My casual shoes are on page 7 if you want an example. Something that looks nice, but isn't formal.

There you go :P It can be done, but I rarely see it done well.

Yeah I tried that, but it seems the only way to set the screensaver password is through user accounts, which automatically makes it ask for a password on login. If I just click password protect in the screensaver options, it does nothing until I set a password in user accounts. Yeah I know, but I want a fast boot where I don't have to wait, put in password and then wait some more. I'd like to press the button and go make breakfast or something, but then have it password protected if I leave it turned on for a while. My family aren't smart enough to restart to get in, and my computer is on most of the time anyway.

Is it possible to not have a password on login, but have a password if the screensaver turns on? I'm using xp and yes I realize how dumb that sounds, but I want it.

I actually highly recommend throwing the hat out. I like the jacket, it's something I'd wear to an athletics carnival rather than when I go out though. I think you should grow your hair longer, short hair makes you look really young. When you get older, put on a bit of muscle and develop a stronger looking face a faux hawk or spy haircut would suit you imo. I personally like thin gold chains, if you prefer silver get that. Don't get anything too thick though. I also recon you should get an eyebrow piercing to help make you look a little older. Some kind of leather bracelet too. And np :thumbup:

Yeah it really depends. I mean my parents never talked to each other about anything, let alone me so I feel weird just talking to my friends around them. One of my mates entire family are so laid back you can talk to them about literally anything and it's all cool. I mean his nana heard me having sex one night at his place and we were talking about it the next morning. It really depends on the relationship with your parents. also, [hide=]Ok texting. Really there is enough on this to write a book, but I’ll try and cover the basics about what to text when, and how to escalate. You can build attraction and comfort through texts, but the ultimate goal is to meet up with her by doing this. When you get the number, put more focus on the first meet up than the actual number. Do the age old ‘mention something cool you’re doing but don’t invite her till later’ drill I’ve posted here somewhere a few times. When you get the number, try and get her to invest in it. ‘we should hang out sometime’ is not a good way to get her to invest. Be specific, but make it something that isn’t high commitment and that you will do whether she goes or not. You’ve gotten the number via a method I’ve posted, one somebody else has posted or some other way and you now have the dilemma of the first text. First of all, if you have a number, it does NOT mean you are ‘in.’ It pretty much means nothing other than you have an extra way of communicating. She may not be attracted yet, in which case you need to work on that. Maybe she is attracted, so you DHV and tease her less, and build more rapport. She might not even like you at all and just gave you the number to avoid an awkward situation where she has to say no. Don’t let yourself get caught in the trap of thinking you are further than you really are, just because you have a phone number. You will need to know where you stand via body language, and her reactions to your flirting and role playing. I like to start texting he as soon as I get her number while we’re still talking. This lets you get a feel for where you stand by being a little more sexual in the texts via role playing. If she responds positively, you’re doing well. If she doesn’t, don’t worry but obviously take a step back and flirt more lightly. Emphasis on the words role playing - you don’t score points by telling her that she has nice boobs. Suggest you both leave the group for 40 seconds for sex so you can cuddle for 30 seconds. Have fun with it. You can go from ‘this cute girl is flirting with me, what should I do?’ to ‘whoever pulls me out will be the new king of England’ fairly quickly with positive responses if you do it right. Depending on the situation, you can even escalate that fast if you want more than a 1 night stand/casual fling. If you get a negative response, back off a bit but don’t apologise. If you end up texting her later then start with something low commitment. Something interesting that will make her want to respond, but light so it doesn’t matter if she ignores it. Callback humor is great too. If you gave her a nickname when you first met then use it. If she was feeling attracted to you when you gave her the nickname, and you use it again then it will bring back the memories and emotions of when she was attracted. ‘hey brat, I bet my weekend can beat up your weekend :)’ Picture the relationship from start to finish as a scale that slowly erases with time. If you get halfway through attraction on the scale, if you leave it a while it goes down, but you continue where you left off. If you screw up, time will fix it. The more you mess up the more time needed, but if you leave it a while you will have to start with light and low commitment stuff again. Don’t ever send a message in the state of mind that ‘I need to fix that screw up’ because you will only make it worse. Don’t invest emotionally much more than she does. If she sends standoffish replies, you don’t fix it by sending longer texts at shorter intervals. Make your replies at random times, from seconds to hours after you’ve received hers. Don’t make it look like you’re focusing all her attention on her. Always be having more fun than she is at the time. Avoid crap like Hi how are you? Good how are you? Awesome, what are you up to? Etc Also don’t just tell her about your day unless you know she’s attracted and you’re in rapport building. Keep it fun and light. [/hide] might add more later

Be the leader of the group.

lose the hat, seriously. imo you're much better off picking stuff that looks good and fits well, rather than getting designer stuff. The shirts are fairly plain, and look like something I could pick up for $10. Straight leg jeans would look better on you than boot cut. Dressier than other tennis shoes or not, tennis shoes are not 'classy' and really shouldn't be worn with a button up. Don't wear a dress shirt unbuttoned with another shirt underneath, that's like wearing socks with sandals or something. Invest in a watch and neck chain, and I'd look around at different hairstyles and pick something interesting that you like that would suit your face and build. No offense meant or anything mate, just my honest opinion. I think you wasted your money.

Alright I'll start writing when I get time, might have it done this week.
