Ah, just saw the posts about OKC requiring actual first names (I miss so many posts). Not a big deal as my first name is part of my profile name.
But it does bum me out that they're hemorrhaging users to Tinder, because I hate Tinder, and prefer not to use an app clogging up my phone.

Though I might try Bumble - anyone have tips/suggestion on using Bumble?
The only thing I know is that the first message can only be sent by the woman.

Thats basically what separates it from Tinder. Plus there is some time limit for you to respond or some shit. 24 hours I think. Other than that its basically tinder with a slightly different layout

Bumble is basically tinder, but as you said, the lady sends the first message. Be prepared to receive a bunch of boring "Hey" and "Hi, how are you?" messages. Honestly though, it's pretty good. I've gotten fewer dates from bumble than from tinder, but there are fewer girls using Bumble too, so it makes sense. After you match there's a 24 hour expiry period on the match, so it incentivizes the ladies to send messages relatively quickly.

I smell bullshit lol

You ahh... You gonna contribute to this thread? or just pop in every couple of pages to drop a snarky comment?


I don't 100% understand what you're asking. Why did she give you her Snapchat? What kind of comment would you be making on it?

In regards to the comment that Alwayscrazybacon made, I didn't think you could even see the comments left on Snapchat stories by other people, because I'm pretty sure it leaves the comment in the form of a message to the person who uploaded the photo, not on the photo itself.

So last night was kind of odd. I went with them back to their place for drinks, so we got a taxi from the bar. And the taxi felt like it took at least 30 minutes to get there, but whatever I was enjoying myself.

So, we arrive at their place and all start to have a few more drinks. I'm a pretty slow drinker anyway so I wasn't nearly as pissed as they were, but still can control myself when tipsy. But the two girls were absolutely smashed after a few more. The girl I bought a drink for, said she felt sick and tired so went to bed. So I was left alone with the other girl.

So after a bit more talking and drinking, she even kissed me. It was nice, don't get me wrong here, but she was horribly drunk and I was pretty okay still. She invited me into her room, and I told her I would follow her in after going to the toilet. Instead I just left and got a taxi home.

I felt bad for leaving, but I'd feel even worse for taking advantage of her in that state.

(The god damn taxi home cost me like €45)

So yeah, all in all I enjoyed the company and they were actually really friendly people.

You could have just declined her instead of waiting to make a break when you she wasn't looking you know right? Seems like it was overall a good experience, good for you.

Like I said, she was horribly drunk. I just assumed she wouldn't take it well with her being drunk and was hoping she'd fall asleep so she wouldn't notice it lol

Again, I felt genuinely bad, but I thought she could have a bad reaction to me rejecting her so lol

I'll admit I laughed at the idea of her closing her bedroom door and you immediately 180-ing and walking out of her place lmao. I would've just crashed on the couch saying I'd drank too much, but I guess your method works too.

Honestly though, I've been in your position before and totally understand why you'd decline to sleep with a girl who's super drunk when you're not. It's an uncomfortable situation to be in. I'm glad you had fun and atleast now you've got some more socialising experience under your belt.

Still though, what a story hahaha

If I was drunk and tired I'd probably just sleep next to her or on the sofa or whatever, personally. Hate the ride back home after a night out.

Like, she was very good looking, but I'd feel terrible if I went through with it.

Neither would I, but if I were making out with a girl and realised she was too drunk I'd just keep my trousers on, tell her she was too drunk, and that we should just sleep.

I guess it might be harder to control yourself if you put yourself closer to that situation though, but I've never had an issue sleeping next to girls after a night out, just for the sake of having somewhere comfortable to sleep.

Not laughing because you didn't sleep with her. Laughing at the thought of you running away after you told her you'll be right there. Plus you furiously typing to ERA while hiding out in the bar toilet. Straight out of a sitcom.

Yeah, but my issue there was what if she was so drunk that the next morning she couldn't remember anything? It'd be my word against hers, and I hear enough of them stories around so decided to just get a taxi. I do get your meaning too though, but I didn't want to take any chances.

Yeah that's fair enough. I mean she'd probably know if you were still clothed or sleeping on the sofa but I get what you're saying.

Good on ya for not taking advantage of the drunk girl. Its a sticky situation to be in. Happens to me pretty often. I was at the bar a bit ago and a girl grabbed me and started making out with me and shes like "lets get a cab to my place" I was like "hell ya lets go" and when we were walking out to the cab she starts doing the stumbly left and right. I was like "fuck"

So the cab pulls up and I just let her in and close the door and she like "where are you going?" And im all "youre drunk. Go home. You have my number, call me tomorrow" she never called.

Even tougher already being at their place. Its the right thing to do. Even if it was their intention the entire night to bring someone home to fuck, its just not worth it if they are too drunk.

Hey everyone, is it normal to think about a girl who rejected you a while ago? I am sort of introverted and don't open up to most women very easily. I sort of had a huge crush on this cute girl I really liked, I tried talking to her but she shot me down instantly. She was a librarian, and I never got the courage to go back this library again.

The only remedy to this sort of problem is to talk to more girls right? There is no "the one" Keep expectations low and try a lot? That's what my friend says

Soul of Miyazaki Good you didn't take advantage of her being drunk. But just up and leaving without telling her wasn't the nicest move either lol..

I'm sure she could have dealt with you telling her that you didn't feel comfortable having sex with her when she was drunk. Did you at least get her number so you could text her what was up after you left

So I've had a few hard discussions with mama bird. She wants to have sex with me, but it's always so disappointing because of my trouble. It takes a lot of work for me to get an erection and then I premature ejaculate.

What I'd call really "hungry", and it's not the girl. What i want out of sex is emotional intimacy and maybe validation. Even before her I didn't really have a libido. Is see a girl and intellectually know shes attractive. But not get turned on. I only get turned on by direct stimulation.

I'm going to see my general practitioner and also a therapist. And in the mean time, work on satisfying her and stepping up my game in other ways

This may have already been asked/answered, but do you watch porn?
If you do - stop, and after a month or so you should do better, though it's not some magic pill.
If you don't watch porn... I'm not sure what to tell you. Sorry. Stick with therapy.

So I wanted ask you guys for an opinion.

Finished chatting with this girl tonight, she went to bed, or to play The Witcher 3, one of those two (she said she had to sleep but I believe she's playing W3 in bed). Anyway, we spoke on an off throughout the day and she initiated the conversation, I generally like talking to her. She left me with the message "Okay, call or message me tomorrow if you want xx"

The thing is, do you think she wants me to call her? Or she's just being polite? I don't want to intrude on her Christmas unless I get the impression she actually wants me to give her a call. Partially because I see Christmas as a pretty private thing, and partially because I guess I don't want to seem overly fond of her.

I certainly wouldn't pick up calls from most people on Christmas myself, and I just spend the day with close relatives usually. So I don't want to intrude on that time with the people she's spending it with (her Uncle and such), but I guess I do want to speak to her if that's what she actually wants.

You're overthinking it way way too much. Call her, or don't. Do what you feel like doing. And even if you do call her, it can be a short phonecall that's not going to intrude on her day. Or just text her if you want. Don't treat it like some metagame.

Send her a short text on Christmas day wishing her a happy day, and that you're thinking of her.

Yeah, like I said before in here, she (and the other girls too) were all very nice and welcoming and I got a good laugh out of them and enjoyed the night. That, plus I'd feel genuinely terrible about sleeping with her when she's not in the right mind to make the choices. I wish I left a note or something, or my number to just explain myself, but in the mist of it all happening, I was worried she would walk back out of her room and catch me in the act of leaving and I've been around enough drunk people, in general, to know some (not all) do not take not getting their way the best.

So yeah, least I have the good memories.

What did she get you? I guess it would depend on that, how long you've known her, etc.

I got the girl I'm dating right now a bath bomb as a Christmas gift. It was cheap and simple but a nice little present. We ended up sharing it too so it was the gift that kept on giving.

It's cool man, just enjoy the freedom to do whatever you want this Christmas (chill out, eat great food, do whatever you feel man) and look forward to a cool New Year. I'm sure we'll all have great new dating stories and find cool people we get with next year :D

I last literally 5 seconds. I can't even thrust

Im guessing you have, but you've looked into ways of improving that yeah?

Yeah these were some of my leading ideas atm. Thanks for the suggestions. Now to fight the old ladies and teenagers at the mall to buy it.
