Advice for any guys here…

If the girl you want ever calls the police on you then immediately RUN! Give up on her. She’s not worth it! She just broke the trust and unspoken contract you had. It’s impossible to trust someone again after a betrayal like that… but believe me! There’s plenty of fish in the sea…

I would absolutely never date or marry a girl who would resort to calling the police on someone who loves her. That’s despicable and disgusting.

Love goes hand in hand with trust and if you can’t trust… then you can’t love. Unfortunately I lost the ability the trust anyone years ago….

Everything happens for a reason but true love is one in a million…. I’m not really sure I believe in love anymore anyway… everything is just a fucked up illusion.

Never let anyone try to lower your self esteem either. Toxic girls try to do this in relationships to make you more whipped and beta.

Your real love is out there and she won’t call the police on you, she won’t cheat on you, and she won’t be a complete bitch. Never settle for anything less. Stay optimistic and good things will happen. Don’t “simp over these hoes” like the kids say now lol… best of luck to everyone. I hope we all get what we’re searching for…

I wish you still felt worth it to me.

Even just in friendship. Having someone to talk to like this was interesting and fun, until it wasn’t.

You know, the last time I found myself in an abusive relationship, our mutual friends were taken aback that I didn’t say anything to them about it until he (a “friendship,” long story) had been gone for over a year. I told them that since he hadn’t been that way toward any of them that I didn’t want it to affect the way anyone else saw him. They still wished I had been more transparent. They were good people. Still are. But I will never be that transparent with others.

With you, it went from fun to something much less so; the following year reflective of the maladjustments I’d assumed over the previous two. No, you weren’t abusive. She was. But I never told you that, and then you insisted that I keep a friendship with her so that you could be comfortable around *me.* You know how sometimes reading it rather than just thinking it can reveal a “new” dimension of ridiculous? I think this might be one of those things. Unless you knew she was abusive and still insisted that one friendship was necessary to make another one work—I’m not gonna waste the amount of indulgence in negativity it takes to describe a person who does that.

But I figured it out and let go. And then I got really happy. But I never had to become happy for everyone else’s bullshit, of which only I or a few with me among them would be privy to, to be safe with me. I just want you to know that I’m actually happy. She makes me happy, but I became content before I met her … and I think it’s *why* I met her.

Please take care of the people who open up to you more sparingly, because they aren’t really hiding anything. It’s easy to confess; it’s much less easy to not spread negativity around like an infectious disease. And it’s nearly impossible to see what others aren’t doing to keep you safe. We’re all better off only speaking kindly of our exes. But some will never be candidates for continued friendship.

Smoke em if you got em

If you’re single and not going out a few times a week for random hookups, or have a few booty calls on speed dial, then by the laws of society you’re a fucking loser. It’s pretty dumb if you ask me, being single is hard enough without additional pressures. Like I’m sure the majority of single people don’t want to be alone, even if they bs on and on about how empowered they feel. Who wouldn’t want the intimacy and passion that you can only find consistently in an actual relationship?

For that very reason, I imagine a lot of people settle, more or less. I know that for myself, for as long as I can remember, every girl that I’ve had a mutual attraction had some kind of significant other already. Honestly, I hate it, but I get it. If you have people, probably every single day, blowing up your dms or whatever the kids say nowadays, why not just perpetually be in a relationship til you find someone you like more, break up with the first person, rinse and repeat. And then maybe you meet someone like me, and you’re like “you’re a really great guy, but I’m in a relationship”. Which is dangerous, because if you’re pretty certain the person really likes you, then what they’re really saying is “you have to prove your worth and dedication to me before I give up what I’ve already got going”, but if you’re wrong then you end up being some creepy harasser. I’ve literally had only one serious relationship, and surprise surprise she was dating one of my friends the night we met. A week later we hooked up, the next day she broke things off with my friend, and we had a multi year relationship after that. I still feel shitty to this day about how I betrayed him, but hey I would’ve never had a proper gf to this day if I hadn’t, and at least she didn’t have to even spend one hour being single. Since then I’ve tended to just drop it when I get the “I’m already in a relationship” line. But I’ve realized I will always be alone otherwise, as anyone I’m ever attracted to will always have been swooped up by someone who had the privilege of meeting them first, as though thats what all your bullshit Disney stories taught you.

To a certain male friend

To a certain male friend,

You’re constantly on with me then off with me. You make out like you are there for me, yet you only approach me either every few weeks, or every few months. I wish I had any idea why you do this. If you don’t actually want to hang out with me, then by all means, let me know. What’s the point in me being your friend when you constantly blow hot and cold with me? You’re too confusing. Most of my other friends don’t treat me in such a disposable way. Thankgod. I don’t get what you want from me then. At least make it obvious or leave me alone. What’s the reason you treat me like this? You SEEM to want to help me out, but if you’re not serious about spending time with me, I will end the friendship much sooner, for both of our sakes. So either let me know why you do this to me, or just don’t bother talking to me anymore. It’s not as if there’s any problem you’re hiding from me, so I really don’t understand. Maybe this is why I never reach out to you. Whatever. Good luck with your life.

You

You told me around three weeks ago now, that you will always be here for me, which is nice, but this week you haven’t made much effort to communicate with me, which makes me question whether you really meant what you said. It isn’t very respectful leaving me in limbo like this. I’ve got OTHER friends who would treat me better than this. Not sure why you’re even doing this. You’re not as interested in spending time with me as you like to make out you are. That isn’t being a good friend, at all. I’m not so certain about you anymore. Goodbye. It’s just all fun and games to YOU. I’m glad that you didn’t bother inviting me to your birthday. As you were never going to keep up the communication with me. Good luck with whatever, dude.

I’m getting super worried that they might change the formula for Lemon-Lime Gatorade Thirst Quencher

I just had a near-nervous breakdown worrying about what would happen to me if they changed the formula for the green Gatorade. I guess I don’t really have any evidence or proof suggesting they are going to do that, but it’s not like they would ask me first is it? I’m absolutely sick with worry thinking about what would happen if I went to Walgreen’s one day and got a bottle of Lemon Lime Gatorade and brought it home and took a big swig and it tasted a little bit different. I really like the way the green Gatorade tastes now, and if it changed I wouldn’t know how to react. I was so worried in fact that I just walked up to Walgreen’s and bought a bottle of the green Gatorade and two mild Slim Jims. Thank God the Gatorade still tastes the same as it always has.

Like I said, I have no inside knowledge or reason to believe that any sort of change to the formula for the green Gatorade is imminent or even being considered. For all I know they could keep the formula the same for the next ten thousand years. But they could also change it tomorrow, and change it forever, and then there would be no way to ever taste the old version of Lemon Lime Gatorade that I really do love so much. I spent the morning throwing up out of sheer panic just thinking about this happening. Maybe I should write them a letter saying please don’t ever change the formula. Do you think that would help? Or do you think that I would just be bringing attention to the formula, and ironically making it even more likely that they would change it? I could really use some advice on what to do. I’m twisted up in knots and I can’t think about anything else.

They can do whatever they want with the red (Fruit Punch) or blue (not sure) flavors, or the weirder garbage flavors like Ice Mountain or Frosted Shock or whatever the fuck else they have. Same with the Gatorade Zero. I’m sure those flavors have their fans and many of them are probably as passionate as I am, but selfishly it is only the bog-standard Lemon Lime Gatorade flavor that I really love deeply. Oh God, should I call the Gatorade factory? I should, shouldn’t I? What if I did though, and then they laughed at me, and then they changed it just to spite me? I don’t think I can risk it. But I also don’t think I can keep living like this, spending every waking second in a heart-pounding near frenzy at the thought that they might unexpectedly change that Gatorade formula on me. What would you do if you were me? How would you cope? How could you cope? I could really use some answers here, please, whatever you have that you think may be of help. I am in a prison of my own making, and that prison is called “the fear of what if they made a new formula in replace of the old Gatorade formula for the flavor of Lemon Lime Thirst Quencher”

It doesn’t really mean anything!!

A lot of people still have crushes on someone else while they’re still married, or still in a relationship. What matters is that you don’t act upon it. You’re allowed to think about your crush, but make sure that is ALL you do. Don’t take it further, otherwise you will risk losing the best thing that has happened to you in a long time. It’s not worth it in the long-run. Even it IS sometimes worth it, how would I even know? A crush is just a harmless fantasy. Luckily I can keep it inside of my mind and not let it go any further than a mere fleeting thought. It’s just some unwanted fantasy. I used to have crushes on some of my male friends who I went to the same college as, but I knew how to control my urges. I still do. Just glad that I don’t listen much or take too much notice of said harmless fantasies about my crush. It’s JUST a crush
I’d be a fool to lose what I already have with P. Why would I even want to risk losing that? It takes long enough to even want to be in a new relationship with anyone. Remember, just because someone has a crush on someone, it doesn’t mean that they’re actually going to be ripping that person’s clothes off and jumping into bed with them. Some people watch too many TV shows and think that what they’re watching on TV, is going to happen to them. It isn’t. It’s fine. Please stop worrying.
