"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I used to be exactly like that, I found out my issue was that I thought I didn't deserve/couldn't get the more attractive girls so I subconsciously disqualified them.

Supplements vs No Supplements
I don't take supplements other than fish oil and minerals but those aren't for training. I know plenty of people who take supplements, and about 2 who actually make it worth it. I've met someone who bragged about taking creatine but didn't know what it was. He thought it would make him gain muscle =D>

My issues with the United States
With the school issue, imo it's to make each generation dumber so they don't question anything. Keeps the nice healthy chasm between the rich and the poor. Australia has a pretty good setup with the dole. You have to report your earnings, come in for appointments, be actively looking for work and you do volunteer work too. They also provide certain training such as footing the bill for security guard courses.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Too busy picking up chicks to. Lol I wish, I barely have time for anything these days. It's all study. rush hour traffic and boxing. In my experience you get much better results looking for an inconsistency. I have this cool routine that I got from style where I get someone to *think* 5 things, 1 being a lie. They will move their eyes towards the recollective part of their brain for true things, and they will do something else for the lie. It works pretty well, and it's a great dhv when you know that they're thinking a lie and not even saying it. You can look for more obvious inconsistencies than their eye movement. If someone doesn't usually add lots of detail to a story and they do 1 time, it could be a lie and vice versa. Then again some people are great liers. (like me) The trick is to believe what you're saying yourself so your body doesn't show any tells.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
I did it because it's a bad [bleep]ing habit and I've been trying to stop it, but when you feel like absolute [cabbage] you forget that you don't want to, and just fall back onto old self destructive habits. Misery tends to make people do desperate things to try and get rid of the misery, if only temporary. Cutting really helps you calm the [bleep] down when you feel like absolute [cabbage]. The physical pain distracts from the emotional pain, that's why I do it. People do it because it makes the brain release endorphins which makes you feel better. It's the equivalent to resorting to alcohol or other drugs to cope with issues, and is just as addictive.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Few things you might want to think about. Don't go meeting people 'to get a girlfriend.' Do it for fun, do it for practice. If every time is a practice and you're just having fun anyway you can't ever lose right? Freezing up is called approach anxiety in the attraction community. It's because we have the same bodies as our ancestors who chased their dinner with spears did, so we have a lot of their 'survival skills' hard wired into us. "Survival mode" when you drastically cut calorie intake is a perfect example. Back then you lived in a tribe of maybe 30 people and if you screwed it up with 1 girl, you screwed it up with all of them. Your genes are wiped out of existence. If that girl is taken, her boyfriend will kill you to protect his own means of replication. (which is why guys will go after the other guy when their girlfriend cheats) Today you don't have that problem (just like the western world doesn't have many issues with starvation) but you still have the hard wiring because evolution is much slower than the population explosion. I have a fairly large collection of my posts in this thread in my blog if you're interested in what I have to say. They cover how to approach naturally, what attraction switches are, getting numbers etc.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Shallow guys are just the ones who are honest about what they are attracted to. Then you have the guys not lying to themselves but lying to the people around them, because society has deemed them shallow if they tell the truth. The last group would be the ones sitting on their high horse lying to themselves and pretending they have different hard wiring to every other male.

The older you get, the less the age difference matters because at least both bodies have fully developed. At 14 she's barely out of primary school. It doesn't matter how 'mature for her age' she is, to me it just seems creepy.

It's likely that you changed your attitude, had the stronger frame and she just went with it. Works the same as the awkwardness thing. tbh my first thought was 'ew'

Weightloss/ Muscle Gain Naturally?
Find out your BMR and use myplate or something to get a 500 calorie deficit. If you build muscle then your BMR will raise, which makes it effective in the longer term to lose weight. Cut the processed and sugary crap out altogether. You'll feel noticeably better within a week. Avoid bread and white rice. Stick with fruit and veg, nuts, fish, eggs etc. It would pay to drastically cut dairy because it's really fatty and not that healthy anyway. Eat smaller meals more often rather than 3 big meals if possible. If you're getting enough sleep and still tired then you need to eat a bit more. Cardio is great if you do enough of it. I box for 7-12 hrs a week and it's dropping off pretty quickly. You need your heart rate to be in the aerobic zone for a good 1hr a day at least. My training sessions are 2-2.5 hrs. Jog, skip, core sessions, (pushups, chinups, crunches etc) hiit, whatever it takes you get it up high enough.

Halitophobia
It says on the label that it can be used as a mouthwash, and I asked a doctor about it who said it's fine. Just dilute the 3% stuff further - 1/4 to 1/2 and the rest water.

Halitophobia
For bad breath rinse with diluted peroxide to kill bacteria, and try and make your mouth less acidic. Lemon works good for that. Drink heaps of water and breath in through your nose.

Would you ever get a Tattoo?
I'm trying to design a sleeve, though I'm pretty bad at art and not doing a great job. My first idea is to have something like that, but flying upwards facing each other with an angle towards outside the skin. A life/death theme in the background, with greens and blues on one side and reds and blacks on the other. I could tribal stuff just as a back ground with the shading slowly changing colours, but fill it up with smaller tattoos around the birds on the sides according to theme. I like the idea but I'm not sure if it will look good..

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
^ It's not like there are only 2 types of relationships. What he describes as a sexual relationship is just a close friendship, but he wants to be able to call a person like that a girlfriend. For some reason. It's being sexually exclusive without the intimacy (y) asexuals aren't even relevant here. It's like arguing about shoes and saying 'they are just a state of mind maaaaan, look at the people with no feet' I was curious because iirc you went out with a young girl, and you can't define things like that early.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
How old is this friend? And it doesn't make sense because then you can't have friends who are attracted but aren't in a relationship. It's not my definition, it's everyone-i-know's definition. It's the dictionary's definition.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
There can be, it's called a friendship. Your version of 'relationship without a sexual tension" is a friendship where you are somewhat attracted to each other. By your logic, the attraction defines the relationship which doesn't make sense at all. You can't just call it a relationship and expect the rest of the world to go along with your new definition. How do you know what they feel? They are a tiny percentage of the population, you really can't be sure of anything.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
^ Anyone can can sit on their high horse and spout "you don't need sex" all they want, but without sexual tension and sex it's just a friendship according to the rest of the world's definition - no matter what you want to call it. There's nothing wrong with being friends, but that's all it is.

Would you ever get a Tattoo?
That's why you get something timeless and sentimental, and not something out of the tattoo artist's book. I have no plans to get a tattoo atm, if I did I'd get a sleeve up to my shoulder but high enough so I can wear short sleeves without it showing. It would have to be timeless and sentimental, and something a friend designed. (because I suck at art) No stupid tribal crap or anything cliche.

How did you/how do you make money?
I wasn't a drug dealer, but I was the 'middle man' who knew lots of people and got a nice cut. When I was 16 I could buy alcohol (never got carded) which I would do for free for mates but earned me quite a bit from others. I'd also buy a packet of smokes and they would sell pretty quickly for 1$ each.

How could it be too fast? Is there some sort of timetable I'm not aware of? Go with the flow mate, stop thinking so much.

He sounds like a whiny [bleep] who wants attention. I don't understand if you actually like him or not :/

Flirting is just about hitting attraction switches. (Though most guys seem to get the idea that making suggestive comments does anything but hurt your game) Txt flirting is much easier because it gives you a chance to think about your response. Just a couple rules: Be doing something more fun than she is. Mix up your replies from 1 minute later to a few hours later. Be unpredictable. Don't let the sexual tension slacken with boring stuff like "hey how are you?" I don't know how many times I'll have to bring it up before it catches on, but role playing is so damn good it's like a cheat code. Seriously. The next time she does something questionable like not listen to dan's favourite bands, tell her you want a divorce because you're sick of her [cabbage]. Argue over custardy of the dog, get with her sister but call her crying in the middle of the night because you miss her pancakes.
