Should probably also specify that it should be a regular with some modicum of success, though I guess that's somewhat of a given.

Victoria BC Canada. Lets go.
Ok so a bunch of them went to my buddies lacrosse game and got stoned as fuck. God dammit.. fucking go shower and sober up for fuck sakes. Jesus im pissed
Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm sure she won't really care so I won't stress too much.
If it seems appropriate at the time I'll say something, if not, whatever.
I'll try not to overthink
Surprised so many people were against telling. I lost mine at 22 years old. I told her I wasn't experienced, she smiled. Two months later we go to DC for our first weekend trip on 4th of july, I come out the bathroom and she had a whole lingerie set on that she picked up in paris a month before. Lost my virginity on july 4th lol.
I'd tell her, she'll make it nice for you. Don't make it a big deal about it, but I'd mention it. Wouldn't you want to know?

What's wrong with copy paste the original 1st post? I can do that without being creative at all.

I think the fashion advice part that's currently there and maybe a little bit of info about online dating tips (like types of photos you should consider, etc) should definitely be included.

Whatever, mainlander.
So I told her my friends were being lame and she didnt sound too impressed. Like how can I not find a single guy that wants to hang out with a beautiful woman and get drunk. Not a good look. Im not happy about this.
Didn't AD "volunteer" at some point? I just kinda wanna see his unspoken rules of dating section.
Best-lander, sorry boo.

I mean 99% of the time I would be down to be that friend that helps wingman my bud but frankly, it aint there fucking problem your date cant roll solo. Be mad at her.

The only person I can be mad at is myself.
So...
I got to the bar and she told me what she is wearin. So I stood at a high vantage point and looked out for her. Then I spotted her. Lets just say that the tinder pics were deceiving as fuck and now I am hiding outside. Fuck my life.
Fucking hell. I look like I do on my Tinder pics. This is fucked. Fuck this shit.

There you guys go with the hard and fast rules. My brother and uncle met their SOs at the gym. I think it's a very time-and-place thing, and the gym shouldn't be looked at as either a NO FLY ZONE or a meat market. Just gotta feel it out.
But anyways, 300 pages is awweeesooooommmme!
My new thread resolution is to be more active and stop using this thread as a venting area. Only positive movement from here on out.
Girl I just broke up with is a high-class lady that said I probably couldn't make her feel like a princess. Girl my friends set me up with tomorrow is a free-spirited hippy lady. We're doing yoga on the beach and picking up trash. From one extreme to the other!

Let's hope so
Going to a wedding today. Let's see, if the bride has a few friends who are single. Or would you advise against it?
And I wish I had a friend like you, who sets up stuff like that. Daaaayum. Are they afraid? And if they are, what are they afraid of exactly? I just can't conpute this...

Deceiving in what way? Filtered out the ass? Odd angles hiding fat rolls? Not even her?
I feel blessed this didn't happen to me (well, as extreme as this), not sure I'd be able to keep my mouth shut about the obvious deception, no matter how nice she might otherwise be.

I don't know anybody that would describe me as outgoing. I've gotten better but I'm more likely to spend my weekend in my room than I am to spend it outside.im reading a book that studies "shyness". In studies with college- age people, a majority of folks who described themselves as shy were described as at least moderately outgoing by their peers. We often describe ourselves in a way that is super self-critical.
This mirrors my own perception. When I describe myself as an introvert to my friends they are almost offended by how dumb I sound to them lol.
Give yourself a break once in awhile

Things still going strong after month one of girlfriend mode. She just cut her hair short and looks super cute. Life is still good.

Hah my friends are terrible. Expect one who has been I a relationship for 5 years so he is neutered anyway.
But boy if they don't fuck things up for me when I'm out and have the balls to actually go chat to women.

Yeah, I don't trust my friends in such a way that I'll go to them for dating advice. About the only one I trust on that level is, well, the girl I've been talking about in this thread.
Speaking of which, we had a discussion about my crush on her, and we're back on platonic speaking terms, although I'm not 100% over it. In the meantime, I've started jogging, gonna start squats tomorrow, and I think I may make an OK Cupid profile next week if I remember to take a half-decent picture of myself.

Really great time last night. OC Night Market isn't as good as the Arcadia one though. Oh well. Ramen burger was still good.
She kind of wants to go to anime expo, but holy shit it's 55 bucks to get in.

Dont assume that getting with a Bridesmade is a thing based on truth. That being said, Ive managed to score at a funeral before.
The Romanian girl I've been seeing is going back home for the summer in September next weekend, but I'm seeing her tonight and a couple of times during next week.
I'm not sure I'll be able to kiss her though since she apparently has a cold sore...
In other news Paris/Disney has been booked with the Kiwi for the end of July (before going home in August).
It's been 9 years since going to a Disney park so I desperately need my fix, as sad as that may sound.

So it ended up being alright. I went back inside and talked to her. Shes nice. She does have a pretty face but she has like 100 lbs on me. I'm not fat shaming or anything but I like my girls slim. And in her pics she looks pretty fit. I dont think its fair to put all your pics up making it look like you are slim when you are not. She even has her instagram linked to her Tinder and there is like 200+ pics on there and not a single one of them hint at her being a bigger girl. They are all glam shots and shit from funny angles. But damn I guess she is photogenic as fuck.
I ended up meeting another girl last night though who is totally my type and we got along well and exchanged numbers and texted each other all night so hopefully something comes of that.
Thats the first time something like that happened to me. I felt like such an ass hiding outside but I was totally blown away and panicked.
I think next time I will meet them first and then set up a double date sorta thing. Live and learn I suppose.
And I do have friends that would be awesome for this sort of thing but those friends are all in serious relationships now. Getting old now. Less and less single friends every year. I've only been on the market for the last year out of the last 8 or 9.

I do set things up like that fairly often but there is only one guy that usually comes through. The rest of them are just scared I guess. If I told them I was just out by myself I bet more would have come. Anyway, in this instance I am glad nobody showed up. I was hyping it up so much that it would have been pretty embarrassing.

Unwritten rule #1:
If you can't see a full body shot where it's possible to assess how fit they are, they fat.
Oh, so on my end: went to see Nimesh Patel with a girl last night. She spent the night. Going up to Baltimore now to see the girl I'm probably sinking into something with. If you'd asked me a month ago if I'd be dating a girl my age who doesn't live in my city and who's almost as old as me, I'd say you were cray.

Everytime.
Yep. What they hidin' cuz i ain't mirin'
I can't remember much since I went to Disneyland Paris when I was 4, but I need my Disney park fix.
The chances of me going back to WDW (I last went back in 2008) or any of the other parks anytime soon is incredibly slim.
Visiting Paris again should be good anyway.

Well I will be more diligent with my scoping of the bods in the future.
Is it weird to ask for a body shot if they dont have one in their profile? Lol
Its like.. why would you want to surprise someone like that? Like "haha! Gotcha! I look nothing like I do in my profile! Muahahaha"
I understand youwant to look good in your pictures but come the fuck on. There is a line between trying to look good and pure trickery.

I need to vent: I think I'm going to take a small break from online dating for a few weeks because I can't for the life of me figure out why I haven't been able to get second dates for the past several months at all. I know I'm still a bit awkward on dates and don't feel super confident on them but I don't get nervous on dates any more which is good. I'm a fairly good looking guy but no amount of good fitting clothes can fix being a good conversationalist and having fun.
This week I had a person walk away after 30 minutes of chatting with her (it was bad all around because the topics were intense, I was being awkward and the girl was judging me for volunteering) wishing me luck and implying to never contact her again; last night I had another date that I thought went solid only to be told that we weren't a match today; last Friday was the same result. My brother suggested being more up front with what I'm looking for so I edited my profiles and changed it to short term dating to emphasize that I'm not looking for anything long term.
I know there's no magic formula for a successful first date but I can't help but wonder how many folks here have gotten multiple dates and what they're doing "right" to get one. I suppose being on time (a big bad habit of mines) is one. I understand that every person is different and gets turned on by different things. I've been speaking to a therapist about this but I feel like I might be due for a new therapist unless I break new during ground in this next session. She suggested meeting women through events that I volunteer at and attend drawing events again which is sound advice but that completely goes out the window for me once I'm there. I don't go out of my way to do that nor does it occur to me to think to myself "Hey this girl that I'm speaking to is really cool! I should totally suggest exchanging numbers and getting drinks some time."

Hmm.
So Ravenclaw is asking why the former BFF is such a dick.
How much should I explain? SHould I mention he's a complete control freak sociopath and he's absolutely jealous that I'm in a relationship and he's not, despite the fact I make 100k less than he does? And the fact that he thinks I'm a "settler" and ruining my life by being with her because she is apparently "so fucking ugly he wants to vomit when he sees pictures of her"?
Just a heads up, this is a temporary problem with regards to being his roommate. I have multiple leads on moving out and quite a few people helping me look for a new place. Apparently pretty much everyone that knows him thinks he's a huge fucking jackass and are glad I'm moving on, because he's always treated me like shit. Including my own parents. They're fucking thrilled.
How is Tokyo Disney? Is it worth checking out. I'll be in town in a month and was thinking of checking it out
