TITLE: TIFU by getting pulled over by a cop
POST: So this just happened a few minuets ago but let's back track.
Today as I was headed home I found a dime on the ground. I don't really smoke anymore but I picked it up and figured I would sell it to one of the stoners at my school. Quick ten bucks right? Well as most of you know it's Friday so I can't get rid of it till Monday.
Now to about ten minuets ago. We are driving to go camping and a cop pulls us over right as I'm checking to see if the bud is still there. He walks up and taps on the window. We go down and he tells us out lights were off. This doesn't seem like much but I've never been pulled over before so I was very paranoid.
TL;DR: | had good pungent pot on my person, got pulled over by a cop, only had to turn my lights on. |

TITLE: Resources to help dudes be better in the sack?
POST: Howdy. 43M here. I'd say I'm decent in bed, but nothing great. I am in a relationship with the love of my life (even if she's seriously pissing me off right now, but that's another story for another day). I know she loves me also and probably doesn't have any serious complaints about our sex life, even if I'm not the best she's ever had. But I want to be a 10 out of 10 for her. I want to be a bajillion out of 10.
So where do I learn? Just about everything I know I've learned through experience. I haven't had a lot of different partners (cough cough...5), so that experience hasn't been particularly varied and I feel like if someone could just explain some technique to me, it'd be very helpful. Not just wang, folks...tongue, fingers are great.
So ladies, are there books, website, etc, etc you wish guys would read? Books that explain these kinds of things particularly well? I know its a longshot, I mean, why would women read books about making dudes better in bed? But I had heard about "She Comes First", and it got me wondering if there were any definitive guides for guys.
Thanks!
TL;DR: | I'm looking for some books, websites, etc, etc on how to be great in bed. What'cha got? |

TITLE: Ball Python loose in the house for 4 days. How do I humanely trap a snake?
POST: My wife's sister lives their parents and has a ball python as a pet, about 1 year old, and about 16 inches long which she raised nearly from birth. The lid on the cage was a stack of books, evidently not good enough. The snake escaped and nobody has seen it for 4 days now. My mother in-law is frightened to go to sleep in case it crawls into bed with them at night.
The house has two hunting-savvy cats and one kind of stupid/socially damaged husky whom we watched eat a whole live rat once, but no snake corpse or evidence of attack has been found. It also has forced air heating with ducts at floor level. The house is structurally sound but fairly old and a snake may be able to find its way outside.
So how do I catch this snake? where are common places for them to hide? is there a bait and live trap I can get somewhere?
TL;DR: | Snake in the house, need it caught alive, risk of semi-retarded dog eating it, time is a factor. |

TITLE: It's my two-year cakeday today.
POST: I had completely forgotten about it recently, until I noticed today.
Reddit has become a massive part of my life, but in good and bad ways. Introducing me to tons of new ideas and ways of thought, brilliant locations and pictures, the most recent news and games, teaching me to be more skeptical and that I'm not the only atheist around. It continually reminds me of how many different people are around and how much I can have in common with others, and how diverse people are.
I'm a Musical Theatre major, so some of my favorite hobbies aren't the most popular on reddit (singing, acting, dancing) but I can help to fulfill my intellectual and curious side here.
Admittedly, I spend *far* too much time on this site. I should limit my time more than I currently do (woo, [StayFocusd] and spend more time studying, but I love discovering and playing too much.
Reddit regularly makes me laugh, has caused me to tear up, shocked me, sickened me, frightened me, and made me both happy and sad. This place really is the best place on the internet (at least, one of the best).
TL;DR: | Thanks for being there for me. It has been a ride. I hope I don't ever need to say goodbye. |

TITLE: I [18 M] recently hooked up with a girl [18 F] I had been talking to for a while, and now she is giving me the cold shoulder
POST: I am a senior in high school. I had been talking to a girl over the summer and it was clear that we were pretty interested in each other. We never had the opportunity to do stuff together because she had been away all summer. This year (senior year) I finally hooked up with her at a party.
After the party we went back to her house and snuck down into her basement. We made out and it got pretty intense, then we cuddled until my friend came to pick me up.
I thought everything was fine but the next day she didn't really talk to me. She doesn't really respond to my texts or snapchats anymore. I really like this girl and I thought it was mutual but now I feel like I may have screwed something up.
TL;DR: | Hooked up with a girl I had had a thing with for a while. Now she won't talk to me. |

TITLE: TIFU by losing a drunken bet last night
POST: I'm your typical 22 year old girl, but I have a betting problem. I will accept any bet I believe I can win no matter the consequence. Usually its over stupid stuff, while drunk. My guy friends all know this about me and have never seen me back out of one. They think I have more balls than them, so to say.
Well, last night my friend Josh and I were hanging out, drinking, and watch movies. We're both wasted, and he bet me I couldn't eat 6 Saltine Crackers in a minute. Naturally, I accept and we agree on the terms. If I win he had to pay for my next meal when we went out, and if he won I had to spend the rest of the night naked. Needless to say, I lost. Lost so bad I spit up more cracker than I ate. He laughed and told me I couldn't back out. We've been friends forever, but he's never seen so much as me in my underwear before. Hesitant, but still drunk I accepted defeat graciously and undressed. He had the best view in the house, and I was getting more drunk by the minute. The next day he recapped a lot for me that was hazy. Trying to show off your 10 years of gymnastics skills completely naked is something you should definitely not do when your best guy friend is watching.
TL;DR: | Will take any bet I think I can win, this time it bit me in the ass as I showed some ass. |

TITLE: tifu by parking in short term parking.
POST: So last week I was on my way to Phoenix to visit family and since I work the night shift I rarely remember what AM weekday traffic is like. So I left my house for my 9:45AM flight with what I thought was a reasonable amount of time... I mean I left my house at 6AM. It's an hour and 15 minute drive to the airport in normal traffic, but I hit rush hour into San Francisco about 15 minutes into my drive and didn't arrive at SFO until 9:25AM. So I panic, thinking I'm gonna miss my plane, I parked in the closest parking to the gates. Thankfully I made my plane with about 5 minutes to spare, but as I got situated in my seat I realized what I had done. Quickly, I Googled SFO's short-term parking rates and did the math. I return tomorrow and am gonna have to pay almost $400 in parking, and I don't know if that's taxable.
I told my Dad what I did as soon as I landed and he's been making fun of me for it all week. The worst part about the whole thing is that it's December and money's already kinda tight so this is probably gonna clean me out. I don't think I've ever kicked myself so hard.
TL;DR: | thought I was gonna miss a plane, parked like a moron, gonna have to pay a huge amount of money. |

TITLE: [23F]My bf [26M] is always horny and its affecting our relationship and his self esteem.
POST: My bf and I have been together for 4 years. We have great sex but I am not always horny like he is. He seems to be horny anytime we're together and sometimes cant control himself and initiates foreplay. Sometimes i get really angry when hes being too persistent and then he gets mad at himself for being persistent and not listening to me. It makes him feel horrible when I have to repeatedly say no. He questions if I still find him attractive or if I still love him, which I do. I'll admit I don't get aroused as often as I used to but that has always been the case in my long term relationships. Sometimes I engage in sex purely just to pleasure him even if I don't want to. I just don't want him to keep feeling bad about this, he has a lot going on as is. Do I keep having unwanted sex to make my bf happy?
TL;DR: | bf is always horny, I am not. He feels crappy about it. Do I keep having sex to make him happy |

TITLE: I (21f) cheated on my boyfriend (22m) and some advice.
POST: Last night I was at a party with a few friends and long story short I got drunk and made out with a guy I had had a crush on since my freshman year of high school. Because I believe in total honestly in a relationship I told my boyfriend. Today I got a text message, a reply to the text message I sent him last night, that said "I think I'm done" and "Just leave me alone." We have been dating for 4 almost five years now and this isn't the first time that I've done something like this so rightfully so he seemed to take this instant the hardest and now I'm scared. I felt guilty the moment I was sober enough to realize what had happened and I'm afraid that I might have really fucked up this time. Right now I'm giving him some space but I'd really like some advice on anything I can do to make him understand that I would never do this again, and maybe ease the pain for him. Anything positive would be greatly appreciated

TITLE: Askreddit, help me decide my future.
POST: I'm a senior in highschool, getting ready to go on to college. I'm scared shitless. I have absolutely NO idea what I want to do with my life and what I want to major in.
I know what you're thinking, "Barely anyone knows what they want to do when they're a freshman! You can declare your major at the end of your sophomore year!"
Well, no. Not at my school. At my school, you have to declare you're major when you register for classes and if you want to change your major once you have picked it, you'll have to apply as a transfer student to the school that has the major you want.
I'm stuck. I really like writing, and I'm really good at it, but how is that going to make me any money? I know the kind of life style I want and being a writer isn't going to give me that kind of income. I like biology, but at my school you have to take 4 years of calculus for the bio major, and that also scares me shitless because I've ALWAYS struggled extremely with math. Taking calculus will give me automatic panic attacks.
When I look at the list of majors that my school offers there just isn't anything I want to do. I'm so scared :( Help me please!

TITLE: Reddit - AT&T just came to my house and offered a sweet deal at my door for TV and internet services. I don't want to be gullible! Help!
POST: I live in an area highly dominated by Time Warner Cable Company and all of its smaller spinoffs and whatnot. And so AT&T and DirecTV make runs as per usual to people's houses trying to talk bad about Time Warner. This time its different, though. AT&T claims they have fiber optic internet @ 12Mb/s (? I thought that was just in Korea?) and their TV is also better than DirecTV without weather issues because it comes through the same line? And they are going to offer it all to me for half the price of what I'm paying now?! This can't be true. Is it?

POST: I had just gotten dumped from a short-term relationship and was feeling crappy about it. A guy (35M) from one of my hobbies who knew about the breakup swooped in and asked me to go for a drink. He is attractive and pretty smooth in the way he acts
Next thing I know, we're having casual sex (third time I hung out with him). I feel like shit and like I don't even know what to do. It just feels empty and I don't know if I even want any sort of relationship with this man.

TITLE: I (24F) am dating a really busy doctor (35M), how do I deal with his schedule? Anyone else with any experience dating someone with a time-consuming career?
POST: We've been dating for two months. We connect well and I definitely see the potential for a long-term relationship. I think he's amazing and I love spending time with him.
Unfortunately, I only get to see him once a week. He works late nights most days and even on the weekends. This is understandable -- he's saving lives, after all. I keep myself busy with my social life, hobbies, and job, but I do wish I could see him more often.
I'm not complaining -- I realized that a huge chunk of his non-work/non-sleep time is actually with me (his only free time is during the weekend, which is when we see each other). I'm happy that he makes an effort to spend time with me. When we're together, he's very focused on me and one time he even swapped shifts with someone else so we could have dinner. He's also always in touch throughout the week (calls or texts).
I'm just worried that the relationship might not get a chance to develop since he's very busy all the time. We've been on 6 dates and haven't talked about exclusivity yet (he's European btw, and I've heard that The Talk isn't really a thing in Europe).

POST: Howdy Reddit,
This question might seem really weird of stupid, but I really need your help.
I've been together with my girlfriend for 7 years now, but lately my shortcoming start to become a problem.
I've always been quite introvert and never really talked about (imo) not important things.
When I tell people stuff I run it through myself first (would I want to hear this from somebody or do I not give a fuck).
That my schooldays are the most boring things ever, doesn't really help.
Well, I need to learn to tell unimportant stuff to other people, and I really really hope you have some tips or pointers because this shit is hard :/
Thank you guys!

TITLE: How do I buy a printable iTunes gift certificate without installing iTunes?
POST: **The short story:** I don't want a physically mailed gift card, I want one I can print out. I don't have iTunes (DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL IT), nor do I have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, or iWhatever. Any solution?
The long story: I want to get my stepmom [Faerie Solitaire Mobile] for Mother's Day, because I think she'd really like it. But, I can't gift THAT without installing iTunes. So, I figured I would get her a gift card. BUT, the Apple store will only let me buy a physical card to be mailed. I don't want to mail it to her because I already have a nice card to send to her that I figure I could enclose a printable gift card with. And if I get a card sent HERE first, it will be too late to mail to her. The only way to PRINT a certificate seems to require iTunes, for some stupid reason.

TITLE: What to do about cash income?
POST: So my wife started a job as a painting instructor at one of those studios where you schedule a party, BYOB, and an instructor will teach you how to paint a painting of your choice. She gets paid in cash by the owner after each party. Since it seems she is going to be paid under the table, what options are available to us for dealing with the situation? Ideally, we would like to stay on the good side of the IRS. Should we report the cash income? From what I read reporting cash income requires lots of documentation and invites an audit on those involved, and I'd rather not be punished for our honesty.
She will make about 1-2k per year doing this a couple weekends a month. She is a payroll employee at a "real" job, she just teaches painting as a side gig.

TITLE: TIFU by accidentally drinking soap.
POST: Ok so I was washing my hands to take my contact lenses out. As anyone with contacts with tell you, you wash with soap prior to prevent infection.
Anyway, I press down on the soap and liquid cleanliness pours onto my hands. I do my thing and dispose of the lenses. Next I fill my pink ice-age cup up with water to drink from. I lift it up and notice a strange smell, like lavender... Nevertheless, I swallow my water and realize I've made a huge mistake. A huge glob of liquid cleanliness flew into the cup and mixed with the water to become an incognito concoction of lavender and H2O. It took several swigs of mouthwash to not be a soapy-breathing-dragon.

TITLE: [Help] Separation Anxiety and Peeing
POST: I have a 5 y/o lab mix rescue. He was basically house trained when I got him with my ex. I occasionally had issues with him marking my bed after we moved from a house to an apartment but it wasn't often. Ex and I started fighting, marking increased. Ex and I broke up and I moved. At first, he didn't mark at all but now it is a daily occurance. He marks my bed and my closet every day while I'm at work. I've gotten a walker, he still does it. I tried putting him in daycare but he's clearly miserable. He starts shaking as soon as we get about halfway there and it's tail between the legs dear god don't make me shaking (definitely not excitement). I had a kidney panel run on him, perfectly normal. I tried crate training him. The first time I walked out with him in the crate, he flipped it and bent all of the bars on one side. I was gone for less than 15 minutes. He never marks when I'm home, never has issues over night, but if I leave him alone, he starts marking within 30 minutes.
I don't know what to do at this point. I can't punish him after the fact, and I don't have anyone who can stay with him all day. I have been taking him running the mornings lately, thinking if he was tired it might not happen, no luck.

TITLE: TIFU by being an asshole to my local starbucks
POST: So I'm actually going to hell for this.
I called my local Starbucks this morning and asked for the manager, then told her that my name is John and I'm of arabic decent, and I came in three days earlier and ordered a drink, and the woman wrote "Osama" on my cup. She gave me her name, Katie, offered my a free cup of coffee and referred me to their customer service line.
So here's where it gets bad.
I talked to the woman on the customer service line and explained the situation to her, only telling her that Kathy, the manager of the store, was the one who did it and that I called he and just didn't want to confront it about it and only did it to get her name.
I was then offered a $25 gift card, to starbucks by her, and she needed my address and such for it, so I sent it off to a Power Plant in Iowa City under the name "John Mohammed" (I live in California). Wondering who's going to nose-in to that package.
So the woman on the phone had a middle-eastern accent, so I'm assuming she was arab or something, sounded super offended at this and I had her write "Manager highly suggested to be fired" in the report, which she sent to the head of customer relations or something.
It was great.

POST: This happened a couple days ago, not today. So in my history class, I sit next to this extremely attractive girl with really long brown hair. She bent over to get a pen she dropped, and as she did so, a lot of her hair landed on my leg. I started sort of subconsciously twisting it with my finger and playing with it. As she got up, her hair pulled and she let out a quiet cry of pain. Turns out it was knotted around my finger somehow. We spent the next 5 minutes trying to unknot it from my finger and eventually got it undone. Now she thinks I'm a complete weirdo and stopped talking to me.

TITLE: [18M] , I told my crush [18F] what I felt for her. She is now dating a friend of mine.
POST: A couple of months ago I met a girl. I quickly found out that we have a a lot in common and I could share a good laugh with her.
She became a part of my regular group of friends I see every week. And we started (to my idea) flirt and we had alot of fun.
Fast forward a couple of weeks ago after chilling and hanging out alot. We went together to the movies. And while I walked her to her bike I decided that I would tell her how I felt towards her. So after some doubts I just told it (as the realist I am).
She was very flattered and told me that she sees me for now only as a friend. She also told me that she is not sure what her feelings will be towards me in the future.
Fast forward another couple of weeks. While we went out I saw her flirting a lot with a friend of mine and I knew immediately. We still talk a lot and she now has a realtionship with him. I am not sure what to do with the situation.
I enjoy her company very much. I am not sure if my feelings towards her will complicate anything.

TITLE: I want to ask out this girl I've been infatuated with for months the only problem is I only see her while she's working
POST: I've had a crush on this waitress at my favorite bar for close to a year now and I don't know how to ask her out without being "that guy" that hits on girls while they're working. I've never seen her walking around town or anywhere else besides work so I don't know where to ask her in a more casual setting.
Let me preface this with saying that this is no minor crush without even talking to her she's made me a better person. When I first saw her I told myself that if I ever got the opportunity to go out with this girl I better have something to show for, so I really pushed myself and got myself an awesome job in my field making pretty good money for my age (I'm 22 almost 23) then I said that if I ever take her on a date I don't want to drive her around in my piece of shit car so I bought a really nice car as well. Finally I said hey i better start working out so I look better and I'm now in the best shape of my life. All of this because if I just got the opportunity to date her I'd want to be able to offer her the best of everything.
I've also never asked anyone out in my entire life. Every girl I've ever dated or I've slept with has asked me out so I'm completely out of my element here and I have no idea what I'm doing. Any advice would help.

TITLE: My GF [23 F] of almost 3 years is upset with me [26 M] for "not being controlling enough"... wut?
POST: We met on OkCupid a few years ago. We have the same sense of humor and both like similar things, etc, so we get along really well.
However, recently this issue has been creeping up into her arguments. At first I just kind of brushed it aside because I thought she was maybe upset about something else and used this as a buffer or something.
I used to be an extremely jealous, pretty controlling BF in the past (before meeting her), the kind that every magazine and forum tells women to stay away from.
So, I cleaned up my act and changed my outlook on life, love, etc.
I trust her and have no reason not to, so I just give her total freedom. Wear whatever, talk to whoever, go wherever, and so on. (I know I don't *give* her freedom, but I can't think of a better way to write it, sorry.)
I thought this would make me a great boyfriend.
This, I have found out, annoys her to no end. I never get jealous, which she hates. I never check her phone or ask any peircing questions, which seems to infuriate her.
Am I just dating a girl with one too many issues?
TL;DR: | I try to be a good BF by not being controlling/jealous/whiney and it has thus far backfired. |

TITLE: TIFU By changing a light blub
POST: So this happened last night around 10 O'clock, I decided I should go for a shower and that's when I noticed that the light in my bathroom wasn't switching on. So naturally I assumed that the blub had blew and needed changing. I should note that the light switch in my bathroom is a chord which you pull down to turn the light on/off so the only way to know if it's switched on is by the blub being lit or not. Anyway, so I managed to take the blub out fine but when I tried to replace the blub I ended up blowing the fuse to several of the lights of other rooms. Now I managed to change the fuse which blew without anymore issues but the lights still don't work so I don't know what the issue is.

TITLE: TIFU by eating the *whole* package of twizzlers.
POST: This happened several years ago, so... Syaifu is more fitting.(several years ago i fucked up) I was the typical kid. Loved candy, especially twizzlers. I would eat them all of the time. It was a normal Saturday night. Me and my mom decided to go see a movie with a friend. I think it was the newest Indiana jones movie. So I get in the movie and of course I want twizzlers. The only package of twizzlers they had was that family size, huge package. Good for me, bad for my health. I get the twizzlers, popcorn, and a drink and head into the movie. I get through to the snake pit part if the movie which made me, for some reason, eat all of my twizzlers. I eat them *all.* I go home. It was late, so I go to bed. I lay down and go to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and vomit all over of my bed. Over myself, my blankets, my floor. My brain somehow thought it was a dream so put me back to sleep. In the vomit I lay, throughout the night. I wake up with repurposed twizzlers looking at me from the foot of my bed and get up to realize what I did. I go shower and throughout that night, continue to vomit out every last twizzlers through 12 intervals I vomiting.
TL;DR: | bought twizzlers, dreamed about repurposed twizzlers, I gave up those twizzlers through the night. |

TITLE: (M/24) Have a crush on my roommate (F/21). Unsure what to do.
POST: So I live with some friends, and recently due to circumstances one of our other friends has been staying with us. I've always sort of liked her before, but at this point I don't know if it's just a crush or what. I just know that it's been really hard to stop thinking about her, and knowing (ok, assuming) that she would never be interested in me has led to a lot of stress which I haven't shared with anyone.
This has been really difficult for me, because I think the right thing would be to have her reject me outright so I could get over her. But I can't even tell her because the last thing I want to do is unload this burden on her and make it her problem. I can't deal with the pain of feeling this way about her, but I don't want to put her on the spot and put her through any of this. It would only be unfair to her. I've been trying to extinguish these feelings on my own, but nothing works. The feeling always comes back. Do I clear the air, or do I just need to keep trying to get over it on my own? All I care about is not hurting her in any way. That means not asking her to leave just for my sake. This whole thing just makes me feel selfish.
TL;DR: | Not sure if I need to tell roommate/friend about my feelings, or if I need to just get over it. |

POST: Been together a year, and we recently told each other that we loved each other. Yay, right?
Well, last night, while we were both half asleep, she asks me how many girls I've said that to...I thought back and said, "Do you really want to know?" She nodded, so I said, "Two." She seemed satisfied with the answer, and went to sleep.
This morning, after some breakfast, I realized that I had lied. I said 2 because those were the last two relationships I remember, but now I realize the number is actually 4. What do I do? Do I come clean to her about it?

TITLE: Another childhood TIFU
POST: I read the story about the guy stomping the cup that he placed on a nail to keep it still and it reminded me of the time when I was a small child that knew everything at a young age. I had seen in some cartoon where a character stepped on a rake and it hit him in the face. Since I was clearly a genius, I knew that the rake stomping bit was clearly BS and I went outside to prove it. I found a rake and placed it in the yard and then I stomped the ever loving shit out of it. You can imagine my surprise when an instant later I had a very sharp vertical pain emanating from my face as well as two busted lips. That day I had a TIFU and a TIL moment in about a millisecond.

TITLE: Reddit, How do I make my work days as a cashier less boring?
POST: Okay, so I work at a local big-box store (wont say the name, but lets call it WolfMart)
It's your typical big-box store, with it's grocery section and it's general merchandise section.
People do most of their shopping in the grocery section, and oftentimes my day will be filled with people coming through with carts filled to the brim, and me mindlessly scanning item after item.
The types of people that come through the store are generally not very interesting. My store prides itself on it's very low prices, so it attracts a lot of low-income families. They are difficult to engage in conversation sometimes, because of their attitudes. On top of that, my store is in a high-income part of town, which means that a lot of rich suburban families shop for their groceries there too.
I'm a 21 year old college student, and you dont really see a lot of people around my age. If they are, they are usually married, and often have kids.
Is there anything I can do to make my day less boring at work?

TITLE: Reddit, this casual racism needs to stop
POST: I don't understand why reddit finds racism against Asians okay. Just reading through the comments in these posts makes my stomach churn. The grades I get in school aren't a result of my genetics. It's the result of hard fucking work, and to have somebody else tell me it's because I was born Asian, is like having them invalidate everything I've worked for. Yes, I understand that most stereotypes are "positive stereotypes", but from my perspective, they're becoming more like standards that I'm being held up to for no other reason than the fact that I'm Asian. And it's not that I don't find the memes funny, because most of them are. However I feel that Reddit seems to take it too far with the "____ Level: Asian" and it really needs to stop. Why do you guys need to point out that person is an Asian as opposed to any other human being?
TL;DR: | Cut it out with the "____ Level: Asian". That shit needs to stop, it's becoming old and annoying. |

TITLE: [22F] Taking a break from BF [20M]. Does this work? Reddit, advice!
POST: So my boyfriend and I have been together for 2+ years, and there's a problem. He's contemplating the idea that we're better off as friends, we don't have anything to talk about, the sex isn't there (or meaningful when it happens, it just feels like a fuck), and we've started fighting...a lot. For my part, I feel as though he's been incredibly distant and reserved and we've lost that unconditional love that makes those relationships stand fast.
I want to make it work, but I know that without desire and communication from his end I'll end up just fighting a losing battle. I could probably use the time away for myself at any rate to figure out what I even want out of this relationship as well, but don't want to succumb to a moment of weakness and want him back for all the wrong reasons (especially if I'm initiating the break)!
Any advice?

Her older brother and my older sister (in college now) used to be extremely close but that never effected us too much.

POST: So, I got on Tinder and did the whole "swipe right till you run out with anyone you'd even remotely consider" technique. Finally got a match with a girl who looked cute in her profile pic. Then I read her profile and she has a 7 month-old son. Her parents are either dead or gone for long periods of time. I pressed on anyway and we went on a couple dates and had a great time. We've done a bit of cuddling/heavy petting but I keep getting freaked out by the baby.
I really hope she's not going to try and make me this baby's stepfather and I get the feeling she's trying to deal with daddy issues from her dead father. I told her the first time we got physical that I'm really not looking for anything serious, but who knows how much she cares about what I've said. It's been fun and I feel attracted to her but I can't help but feel I'm getting in over my head.

TITLE: TIFU by being the only name on the lease
POST: I live in an apartment with two other people. My landlord will only allow one person to have their name on the lease for the apartment and will only accept rent from one person, which is me. So I have to get my rent money from my roommates and my roommates have no legal obligations.
I decided that I wanted to move out into my own place by myself. One of my roommates wants to leave at the end of August/July. I asked my other roommate if he wanted to take over the lease and get new roommates and he said he didn't want that responsibility (I've been on my lease since I was 19. He's 25.) so I told him I was still deciding if I was going to move out or not (in which case he would have to leave as well) and if so it would be the end of July or August. He immediately asked if he could call me later and talk about it, then I clued in that it's because he would like to move out ASAP if everyone else is moving out.
The problem with that is that he's not legally obligated to give me more than a months notice as to when he's moving out, and I have to give my landlord 3 months notice as to a move out date. My other roommate (one moving out at the end of the summer) is not legally obligated to pay the portion of rent that the other guy leaves if he leaves early, leaving me to pay his share for the 3-4 months left before moving out.

TITLE: Can a jury make a finding of not guilty based on foreknowledge of the possible punishments?
POST: From the discussion [here](
If a person is at trial for an arbitrary felony. Let's say the charges against them would bring a minimum 5 years in prison if convicted. The Jury believes he's guilty but does not think he deserves 5 years in prison plus the rest of issues that come with being a felon. Does the jury have a legal obligation to convict if they believe he's guilty if they also believe any punishment he could receive would be grossly irresponsible and unfair? Can a jury make a finding of not guilty based on foreknowledge of the possible punishments? What, if any, mechanism is in place to ensure a jury enforces the law?

TITLE: [21 M] When exactly is it appropriate to ask for an exit interview in dating?
POST: So I went on a date with a girl. Liked her. Then went home and later messaged her if she felt any chemistry. She saw my message but never responded. Sent her another saying it was fine if she didn't, she didn't see that one. Its been about four days now and no response. We are still friends on facebook if that means anything..
I'm really guessing she isn't interested, which is fine.
Would it be okay of me to ask for an exit interview? I mean, just so I know how I present myself and know what is working and what isn't? I guess I would say something like this: "Hey its been a few days now and I haven't heard from you, I guess you're just not interesting which is totally okay. I'm new to dating and was wondering if you could tell me how I presented myself and what I can do better. Thanks."
Or does that sound like an absolutely terrible idea? In fact just thinking about sending a message like that kind of creeps me out and makes me nervous. Is it rude in any way?

POST: Hi, I would love some advice of everyone and their ideas regarding my situation.
I studied at university for 3 years. After the second year of study, due to being on a sandwich course, I was taken on by a company as a trainee and was paid a pittance of £15 a day. Whilst the job usually consisted of a 9-5 monday-friday norm there were times where I went away on business trips and worked for 20+ hours on some shifts. The company is in the entertainment sector and whilst these hours are a standard occurrence I feel that they took advantage of a niave desperate young employee and exploited me.

POST: I feel stupid posting this because I know I sound like a 13 year old girl, but I have a huge crush on a guy I met. I've known him for about half a year now -- we play golf at the same club and we know mutual people through that.
He flirts whenever we talk and we've been FB messaging each other and he's been responsive and flirty. I honestly do not know why he is being so nice to me. He's a little better at golf than me, so it's not because i'm good at golf lol.
I don't know if i dare to believe he might be into me romantically or attracted to me, but I can't think of any other reason why he flirts with me or is even nice to me. the other options would be:
- he likes me as a friend / sister and he's just a nice person looking to be friends with me
- he's leading me on and he's just going to laugh in my face about how much i like him more than he likes me.
Is there any way to find out?
I know there's a big age difference, so am i supposed to initiate something (like meeting up for coffee or something) because he can't (since he might come off as creepy if i didn't feel the same way)?

TITLE: "Nice-Guy" Bordering Friend-Zone, HELP!
POST: I met up with this chick from the other side of the world through the internet and we talked for a while and then she came to my side of the world and we met up twice so far. Tomorrow will be our 3rd encounter. When we meet up we usually just walk around aimlessly and talk about stuff, get food, etc. but this time we are going to go to see a musician of her choice (of the indie genre.) Anyways, english is not her first language and she is new to this part of the world, so Ive been trying to be the nice-guy and haven't really made any moves on her. Mainly because I didnt want to be that creepy guy from the internet, and because im completely inept to the whole romance thing. That being said, I'm probably dangerously close to the dreaded Friend-Zone.
My biggest dilemma is finding an ice breaker, and knowing how to make use of it. The last few girls I've been with were essentially sluts who just wanted to fuck, they did all the ice breaking in the operation. This girl on the other hand, is alot more shy. I need to make a move on her to elevate the relationship to the next level, or her interest in me might fade away...

She is the most attractive girl I've dated and my longest relationship to date. Last night we we're getting ready to have sex and I couldn't get it up properly. This has happened to me once or twice before but has never been a problem because it was up properly in a few minutes. This time though, I didn't get back into the mood and nothing happened. I've explained that this is nothing to do with her and that it's happened before so it's just a fluke, but she seems to have taken it quite personally and believes I'm growing tired of her. Any advice as to how I can show her I'm attracted to her. So far all I thought of was declaring loudly the next time I have a boner "See!

POST: So my company hired a few new employees. One of which, I'm taking quite an interest in. She's cute, has the type of style I look for in women (which is hard to come by in my area surprisingly), among other subtle things. We've only been working together for a few days now, so it's fair to say I don't really know her. But she strikes me as one of those "I need to get to know her more" types.

That said, I've been out of the game for a while now. I've been single for a little over 2 years. In that time, my love life has been a bit dull. I've been focusing on me and doing my thing. I don't have a problem with being single and am not the type that's actively out looking for a relationship or anything like that. But to say that I'm a bit rusty with this type of stuff now is a bit of an understatement.

So how do I go about this exactly? Do I just straight up ask her out? I deal with her regularly at work so I don't want to ruin that work dynamic. I'd really like to get to know her more and see if it leads to something though (for me, this says a lot, as it's rare for me to show a genuine interest in somebody).

A short while after I met someone else who is really amazing and I'm extremely into, and we've been dating for awhile now since then.

Thursday we made plans to see each other late Friday night. I get off late from work so I told her I'd call her when I was done. She is about an hour away from where I live. I asked her to keep her phone on just in case she fell asleep or something. She said she would and wouldn't fall asleep anyway since she had to do a favor for a friend before I got there.
I finish work and call her. No answer. I sent her a txt saying I'd be there in an hour. No txt message back. When I got to her house, she wasn't there. I called her again. No answer. I waited for 30 minutes then left.
Called her again later Saturday night still no answer. I finally got a txt message Sunday afternoon from her saying- Im sorry. I went out and got sick and couldn't drive home. I'm really sorry about standing you up. It was not on purpose I promise.

TITLE: My girlfriend [19f] has gained weight and it's taking a toll.
POST: I [20M] have been dating this girl for a couple years now and when we started out she was probably 5'4" 120 pounds and looked amazing. She is just about to complete her freshman year of college and instead of putting on a freshman 15 she put on a freshman 35 and isn't showing signs of slowing down. Having access to dining hall has brought up some self control issues with her. She eats desert before and after dinner and she doesn't make any use of the gym 100 yards away. The weight is really starting to impact my physical attraction to her and it makes it harder for me to throw her around the bedroom now that we're about the same weight.
Another problem is that it's taking a huge toll on her confidence and self esteem. She gets jealous when I'm around girls that are in better shape, which she never used to do before. She also lashes out at me since I've been working out and eating healthy and calls me manorexic (I'm 5'8" 155-160 lbs)
The biggest problem is that she has a history with anorexia so there's no good way to approach the subject. She's been healed for 5 years now so I feel like anything I say could trigger a relapse and that's the last thing I want. Is there a gentle way to try to get her to lose weight and improve our relationship?

I said yeah, and she goes on about how she thinks that my friend seems interested in her and she asks me if he has a girlfriend. I tell her I don't know if he likes her and he's single.

Info about me:
* Male
* Height: 6' 2"
* Start W: 320lbs/145kg (April 2nd)
* BMR calculations comes to 2700-2800
* Have hypothyroidism but been on meds for 3-4 years (normal levels now)
Story:
I limit myself to roughly 1500 calories / day. No more than 2000 at all any day of the week. No more pop, no more candy, no more fast food. I drink only water (mixed with crystal light packets) at about 100oz or more everyday.
My meals consist of various things such as (including snacks),,,,eggs, subway, unsalted nuts, oatmeal, salads, steak, chicken, fiber 1 bars, and usually at least 1 healthy choice steamer a day.
Probably a little more carbs than I should be getting but even doing cal in / cal out, I think I should be losing weight and I am not seeing it. (keto is not for me)
I also started to walk a minimum of 4-5 miles a day. Recently going up to 8miles if it is nice outside.
The first 2 weeks I lost 8 lbs which I am assuming is mostly water weight.
The problem is that ever since the first 2 weeks, I haven't lost a single lb. I have been hovering at 312lbs for 3 weeks now.
TL;DR: | 320lbs - lost 8 lbs first 2 weeks, haven't dropped a single pound for last 3 weeks. Seeking advice. |

TITLE: I [22 M] miss my Ex [20F], we dated for a year and have been broken up for 3
POST: My high school girlfriend and I had a great relationship, but when I went to college I decided to break it off. We stayed in contact, she got another boyfriend who she's still with shortly after we broke up. Over this past summer we hooked up many times (she was cheating on her BF) and she's now back in college with her BF that she cheated on without telling him. I know she's a cheater and a bad person, and every part of me wants to be done with her, but there's a part of me that misses her, or maybe just the thought of her. I have since cut all communication but I feel like a fucking idiot that I still have feelings for this girl. Do you have any advice to get me over her?

TITLE: Would love some advice on how to fix issues arising from a difference in sex drives between me(23m) and my SO(25f).
POST: I'll try to keep it short, but this is an ongoing issue between she and I that has some background now.
Basically, I'm a guy who is incredibly attracted to my SO. We live together and just being around her makes me want sex. I'm content with once a day, or more if oppertunity allows. I do have an incredibly high sex drive though, and would honestly take as much as I can get.
However, her sex drive is much lower than mine, and she rejects my advances incredibly often, so much to the point now that I feel she is more interested in watching tv than being intimate with me, and that the attraction isn't mutual.
Now, the main problem with this is,l that I get an incredibly strong internal feeling of sexual frustration when we go a while without sex, so much so that it effects my mood in general. I try to control it, but I just can't.
We have talked about it multiple times, and is now basically an argument that escalates each time. Each time it comes up, the sex increases for about a week, then goes right back to as it was.
What can we do to fix this? Or is it a case of incompatibility?
I have more info about it all if you ask.
TL;DR: | SO(25f) and I(23m) have incredibly different sex drives, and it's driving us apart. |

POST: So I was planning on asking this girl out once our group report was finished, but there is another guy in the group who was in a relationship, isn't as of a couple days ago, and I think wants has the same intentions as I do. Either that or he already has asked her. They're acting a little flirtier than before.
This could all be in my head, but I don't know what to do about it. Do I proceed as I was originally going to? Do I ask him about it? Do I try to 'beat him to the punch'?

TITLE: Am I (33F) being overly sensitive or did my fiance (27M) (2.5yrs) make a passive aggressive comment?
POST: We were about to begin prep for thanksgiving dinner and I has changed the soap dispenser from dish soap to hand soap in the kitchen last night, when he asked me I told him I had.
His son asked if he could help with the dishes and he told him " No, we can't do the dishes because there isn't any dishsoap.", in an annoyed tone, and then sighed. There is plenty of dish soap under the sink it just wasn't out.
He then told me that no one washes their hands in the sink and poured out all the new soap I bought last night. I had my back turned and only saw him rinsing the soap dispenser, I asked if he dumped all the soap down the drain, he acted like I was unreasonable in asking that.
Then he told me to stop being mean to him or he would leave and go somewhere else for thanksgiving. He them told me I clearly don't love him anymore and it's my fault for being angry because he did nothing wrong. I'm hurt that he doesn't see that it was his passive aggressive comment that upset me in the first place.
How do I explain that if he had just handled the issue instead of acting like it was impossible to do the dishes today because I changed the soap the whole thing could have been avoided.
TL;DR: | he thinks I am just trying to fight with him and doesn't see that he hurt me with his snide remark. |

TITLE: looking for weight loss teammates
POST: I never know how to start these things but here it goes: I want to lose weight. Back in high school when I was playing water polo like it was my job, my only insecurity came from my inability to speak to another person without stumbling over my words and blushing like an idiot. I was never worried about what the scale said or what I ate because I knew I looked healthy and athletic and I was in the pool for an absurd amount of time every day.
After a series of unfortunate events (crazy ex, car accident, chronic injuries, the list goes on), I had to give up my water polo dreams and focus on school. College comes around and due to alcohol, birth control, dining halls…I've now found myself in a position where I'm not comfortable in my own skin. Which is such a shame because I finally overcame being socially awkward.
So, I'm looking to ultimately lose 30 pounds. I'm 21, 5'11", and hovering around 190 (and I'm terrified I'm going to start flirting with 200 so I want to go in the opposite direction as soon as possible). I have a MFP account but I've had trouble sticking to it. And I realized it's because I'm doing it alone. I've played team sports my whole life and I think it's that camaraderie and the responsibility to hold your teammates accountable for their mistakes that I'm missing in this.
Hopefully this is the right place ☺

POST: Hi everyone!
My boyfriend and I have been in a ldr for the best ~ 4 months of our relationship.
He is wonderful, smart, caring, funny, laughs at my jokes, dedicated, and just generally amazing.
I try everyday to tell him that I appreciate him, and "I love you" and how amazing I think he is.
My dilemma, is what can I do to show him all of this when we aren't in the same city? I really want to be able to do something for him, but it's hard when we're hours apart. I can't cook for him, or take him out on a surprise date, or cook up any ;) ;) surprises, (skype sex only goes so far...) because we aren't together.
I have sent him snail mail and a care package before, but I'm looking for some other ideas/things to do to show him how much I appreciate him.
Any thoughts or ideas would be very appreciated!
Thanks :)

TITLE: TIFU by finding my mom's dildo accidentally [NSFW]
POST: So, the story began yesterday(? It's Sunday now at 1am but y'know) on Saturday morning. I was really hungry coz we had nothing to eat in the house coz we never buy anything to eat until my mom goes shopping on the weekends. Coz she's a busy lady.
So anyway, she usually lets me borrow money to walk to the store a few streets down to buy some doughnuts or whatever suits my fancy in the morning, but she had already left for work at 10am and it was like 10:15 or whatever.
So I was sitting there and I remembered her taking them out of a drawer so I went to go open it, right?
Well, I open the drawer and there's nothing there so I go to open the one below it and there's a purple dildo.
Being an 18 y/o female, I can totally understand a woman has her needs, and I know damn well my dad isn't satisfying her since he just plays video games all day, but it did throw me off since. ...I wasn't expecting to find a dildo. I was looking for money, jeez.

TITLE: Ladies, please help me solve my dress dilemma!
POST: Going to a friend's party tomorrow, it's a "masquerade ball," and she wants everyone in something sparkly. I have 2 options: one is a floor length gown that I'd prefer not to wear if I don't have to, because I don't want our hostess thinking I'm trying to out dress her (this has been an issue before.)
The other option is a little black/gold sequined strapless dress. I love it, the only problem is there are sequins inside the hemline and across the top. I can't sit down, and after about an hour it drives me nuts.
So ladies, I need a dress-hack, stat! Worse comes to worse, I'll pick up some felt and tack it to my hem, but I'd like to hear any suggestions you have. Even if it's removing all of the sequins on the inside -- just tell me how!

TITLE: TIFU by skipping out on work
POST: So, I ignored my alarm this morning and woke up at 6:45 am, while I needed to be at work at 7:00 am. I live 35 minutes away. I decide I'm better off taking a sick day than being written up for being late. That's fine for me; play some League, enjoy a movie, relax for the day.
I messaged by boss to let him know I wouldn't be in due a stomach bug that was really tearing up my stomach. I felt fine, but what he doesn't know won't hurt, right?
Apparently, karma had a different plan. As I was loading into a game of League, I had a rumbling in my stomach. It felt like normal gastric distress, like some harmless flatulence, so I trusted it.
I let loose what I thought was just a fart, and all the sudden I feel this warmth. I knew immediately what I had done. I had shit my pants for the first time since I was a child. All because I trusted a fart.

TITLE: Overwhelmed 32f wife of 27m -Married 11 months
POST: We got into a big argument yesterday over chores. I feel like I am the delegated captain of housework with the responsibility of assigning him work. He will do it but will roll his eyes stomp or generally make sure I am aware that it is hassle. He was upset because he felt like I was insulting him. Then he turned his back on me and proceeded to basically dismiss my feelings.
(This happens all of the time.) My husband thinks all critique is insulting and would rather ignore problems than resolve them. But yesterday it was too much. I am not getting the things I need and when I tried to talk to him about it we got into a huge argument.
He basically used all of my insecurities against me. He said I was a nag, clingy and that I made him sick. He bumped into me, yelled at me and cut himself deliberately while putting up dishes. He kept saying that I was telling him that he wasn't a good husband.
My husband had been abused physically and emotionally by his father. I know he has triggers and being criticized is one of them. But yesterday I didn't care. I felt contempt from him and I didn't deserve it.
I basically said that he was behaving exactly like Jim father so he decided to sleep on the couch.
I just got home from work and see that he cooked my favorite meal. I just walked right past him and dinner.
I want him to acknowledge his behavior.

TITLE: How do you successfully exist in the Friendzone?
POST: So like many people, the object of my affection has banished me to the dreaded friendzone. While this has happened to me many times before, this particular incident has me baffled because... I actually want to be friends. In my previous trips to the FZ, I simply just removed myself from their lives completely (dick move, I know). This time I actually want to remain close friends but at the same time, I have no clue how to behave around her anymore. She behaves as if me asking her out was a fluke or the result of one to many drinks and still acts the same. Without getting to mushy, let's just say I have REALLY strong feelings still and the fact that she now knows that makes me even more aggressive about them. I want to be understanding of what she wants out of our friendship but at the same time I'm having a hard time coping with remaining platonic. I literally have been avoiding hanging out with her because I'm afraid of what I might do/say. The last thing I want to do is fuck up the friendship we have. There's a whole slew of reasons why I feel this way but all are irrelevant to the point. I simply ask to those who can relate, what the hell am I supposed to do?

I don't see the point of talking/hanging out with old flings as nothing good can come of it. I know these guys only want one thing and are just waiting for us to break up or looking for their opportunity.

POST: I'm just not sure what to do, my mom passed on the fifth of may, then my relationship went down hill, she started reading the bible and texting this new guy.
Me, male age 25, her female age 24, new guy age 40.
I told her how much it bothered me that she was studying the jw faith with this stranger and I wanted it to stop. I was still grieving so I didn't push matters.
She out of the blue said we should stop having sex until we get married, I said sure I was in love her and i thought it was a doable idea seeing as how much sex influenced all my relationships.
Then she decided without me that our dog was only mine, her pronouns changed. We aren't us, it was her and me.
Then I find out she is still talking to this guy so in a frustrated endeavor I broke up with her hoping it would snap her back.
It didn't and she is still intending to get baptized now and join the jw faith.
So in less than a month I lose my mom and my gf of 3 years who made me believe we had a future together.
In the last 2 weeks she has become a devout jw. And has built a connection she refuses to give up with this new guy. My family insists that i just look at it as her spiritually cheating on me.
My question is, how do I heal when I feel so sad angry and bitter. My birthday is on Friday, maybe some strange will do me good.

I was approached and asked about how things are ran. I said my greivences, my solutions, and what I personally dislike -- which is essentially me feeling underemployed and me wanting more action. I was told that I am viable to get the position for running this office of 20 or so pending I start showing more initiative.
Here lays the problem: I do my job at 50% not because I want to do my current role at 50, but because I find it not exciting at all, yet I manage to out perform every one. They want me at 100 but I just can't find the excitement in this position so it is hard to muster the enthusiasm they are looking for.

About an hour ago I had some weed, and started reading my store-brand cough & cold remedy bottle, wondering to myself what the active ingredient was. It turns out the one that makes you fall asleep is doxylamine, which is 6.25mg/15ml. There being 296mL in the bottle, we can assume 123.3mg of doxylamine in the entire bottle.
I found the fatal dosage was "50-50,000 mg/kg", and was not sure what this meant. I understand it is just parts-per notation, but I do not know how to convert between the two. So, does anyone out there know how? I know it's like 7:00 AM in the U.K. right now, anyone want some early morning math?

TITLE: Meme verb agreement?
POST: So, memes often have an understood pronoun. For instance, Socially Awkward Penguin: "Start Telling Joke, Forget Punchline." This is either "I start telling joke, I forget punchline" or "You start telling joke, you forget punchline."
However, it can also be: "Starts Telling Joke, Forgets Punchline" in which the understood pronoun is it/she/he. "She starts telling joke, she forgets punchline."
Which is preferred? I see them both ways. It seems like the point of a meme is to speak for yourself or to a generalized audience or that kind of "you" that means "one". "You never know until you try" is really saying, "one never knows until one tries." Which means maybe one starts telling a joke, and one forgets punchline. Also, it could be that you're describing a socially awkward penguin. He starts telling a joke, he forgets the punchline.

POST: Little bit of background - I recently got into cosplaying and in May want to go as Gamora. With Christmas kicking my butt...or more accurately adding to my butt thanks to binge eating I've been going to the gym a little extra.
For inspiration, when I'm on the treadmill I decide to watch the movie. 20 min into my workout the lazy cowbag in me tells me to get off and go eat something from the tasty vending machine. The easy solution is to channel my inner Gamora and I decide to go into character. Garoma give up for chocolate? I think not.
That goes great and I finish.
Just off the treadmill and go to do weights so to keep in the mood and the character I put on the soundtrack.
Half way through my set I'm taking my 2 min break and hooked on a feeling comes on. I close my eyes and tap my foot along. Before I know it I'm channeling my inner Gamora again anddddddd I'm punching the air and kicking around.

POST: Hi,
I've been with my girlfriend for about three years now. We met at the start of University, and she graduated in July. I have a fourth year, and she is roughly 200 miles away. We both love each other, and she has no concept (I don't think) that I'm having doubts.
To be honest, we've been together so long, we've both changed dramatically. I do love her, she's an incredible girl, but at 21, I know for a fact that I need to have more life experience before I can look at something longer time. I want to be single, and I'd like to have my last University year free/single, without worrying about an LDR. She's also planning on travelling for a 6 month period halfway through the year, during which she'll be nearly uncontactable.
What do you think reddit? I want to break it off, but I have no fucking clue how to phrase it. She's not some girl who I'm bored of and I can just dismiss, I love her, and I can't think of a way to tell her that (essentially), I don't see a long term future for us and want to have a year of fun.
I'm conscious she's gone back home, and she hasn't got many close friends there. I've got a great support network, and personally feel I'll 'cope' better with the break-up. Her mum is a bitch, and her sister (who she's very close to) has just started University this September.

POST: Okay so, to start things off, I am polyamorous and have been for quite a while. Monogamy is something I have become accustomed to, but I am not happy with it and am constantly guilt ridden when I start to like other people.
When we first started seeing each other (4.5 months ago) it was a monogamous relationship, and I was relatively happy with it. Things fell through for another reason, nothing related to this.
After we broke up though, my poly feelings started to surface and come to a head again. I now have more than one person I love in that way, and it confuses me greatly.
Which brings us to where we are now. He wants to try being poly with me, because he knows it makes me happy. If it falls through, which I'm terrified it will, I've said I'll try monogamy again. We need to find a happy middle and a compromise so that were both happy, so that I can see and be with other people that make me happy, and so that he still feels like he has me and his jealousy doesn't tear him apart. The last thing I want to do is hurt him, and the last thing he wants to to is make me unhappy.
If anyone has any advice on how to be poly or how to be monogamous it'd be really appreciated, I love him a lot and don't want to lose him like this.

And when I tried to, She wouldn't get on my finger and sometimes she'd peck me.
A couple weeks of this and I thought maybe it was because her cage was too cramped or something, So I bought her a bigger cage, But then things only got worse, She wouldn't let me feed her treats anymore and she tried to peck me anytime I got close. A couple months go by and I have more time to stay at home and spend time with her. and she starts to let me feed her treats again, But she still tries to peck me if she doesn't see any treats in my hand. The only way I can pick her up now is if i wear yardwork gloves. She doesn't seem to have a problem staying perched on my shoulder or anything, But anytime i try to pet her or scratch her head she pecks me. It seems as if she hates my hands. How do I get her to like me again?

POST: Hi weddit! I only have asked 4 girls to be in my wedding, my sister and 3 very close friends. FH wants 6 groomsmen. I'm 100% a-okay that it's uneven. Apparently I (after a couple bottles of wine) agreed to up mine to 6. He mentioned it this week and I didn't know what he was talking about, it turned into a big thing. At first, I thought it was because he wanted even #s. Nope. He wants me to either have 6 so it looks like we maxed out our bridal party or I have to include his sister. I feel bad that I don't want her standing up with me, but he's hell bent on it because she's important to him. I get that. But I am not close with her. I have many friends, but I keep them at an arm's distance. The 3 friends I have asked definitely fall into the super close - more like sisters, that I know no matter what we'd never have a falling out. I hate this feeling that I have to include someone I don't hold in that same close sentiment. My guard is definitely not down when I'm around his sister or any of his family, I just don't have that level of safety/comfort to get close to them. So when I think of getting ready and spending the day with my bridesmaids I don't want to have my guard up and feel awkward.

POST: So a few days ago, I was talking to my mom and my sister about the internet. My little sister is just starting to go on reddit and other sites and I was warning her of the obvious. "Don't go on tumbr. Its a ton of girls who think the guy that held the door for them is part of the patriarchy. Dont go on nsfw." ect. The problem started when I was talking about 4chan. I was really making a point across not to go on 4chan and the words "Someone on 4chan made shrek is love, shrek is life." slipped out of my mouth. That greentext/SFM video had been on my mind because I had recently gone to a summer camp with some kids who wouldn't shut up about it. As soon as I said it, I told my mom not to look it up in a very stern voice and thought that would solve the dilemma. Stupid me.... I was in another conversation with my sister and suddenly, in the corner of my eye, I see this mortified look on my mom's face and I can faintly hear the monotone voice of the video.

Somehow I discovered through her new relationship my strong amorous feelings for her.
I thought about it and tried to bury this feeling in me, but it is not possible.
I am not really sure if i should tell her, since things would get really complicated. Another fear is that she might completly disappear from my life.

The other thing is I am not sure how to tell her if I decide to tell her (right now i lean that way).

Her 9yo daughter will be coming along with us as well. I plan to do the proposal on the plane over the mountains. My only problem is that I'm worried about the ring being discovered before hand.
The box is sorta big, I'm not sure if it will fit in my camera case or not, but that was my original plan. The other problem is the company that does the tours does this on a first come first serve basis, and only fly in good weather... so we may be waiting for our flight. Also, I'm unsure if I should tell her daughter before hand or not... pretty sure she's going to have a hard time keeping this under wraps, so I'm leaning towards not telling her.
TL;DR: | So dearest Reddit, how do I keep this damn ~~thing~~ [ring] from burning a hole in my pocket!? |

TITLE: Me [26 M] with Groupmate [23F], How to Ask her out.
POST: I am in Uni, and I am in a group with around 4 people including me, and I want to ask out 1 of the girls. The problem is, both girls are actually reall good friends and I do not want to fuck up the group morale by asking her out and making it awkward for all of us.
The issue is, I feel like the friend of the girl I want to ask, kind of likes me a bit, I am not sure 100%, but I got a feeling, and I do not usually get these feelings.
How can I ask her out before she graduates and goes off into the world, and how can I make this as least awkward as possible for all parties.
Also, if she says no, which I have to face the fact that could possibly happen, how can I handle it so it will not be awkward for the rest of the semester while we finish our group project?
Thanks

TITLE: Shoud I ( 18/m) follow her (19/F) on Instagram, and hope for the best?
POST: My situation is really simple. I saw a student theatre play last week, and spotted a girl. After that, I decided to check her facebook profile, just to stalk her for fun.
Not only she's cute, but I'm getting really interested in her: she's cool, seems really smart, and we share a couple of things in common( music, humor,etc) . And I think I would have my chance, since she's just as popular as me ( 200 facebook friends and about 30 likes on her facebook profile picture) .
So my plan is to follow her on Instagram ( yes i found it, I'm creepy I know) . I guess if she finds me cute, she would also follow me. Then, I send a message, something like "Uh... no idea how I followed you, but you're cute, hi " , and hope for the best.
Is that a good idea? Knowing that I will never see her again in my life, so there's nothing to lose right?

TITLE: Recently got asked to be a "date" to a wedding, by my crush of several years. Is this a miracle or am I set for more heartbreak
POST: Hey everybody, I (24m) recently got asked to attend a wedding with a friend that I have had a serious crush on since college. The girl who asked me (23f) recently got out of a long term relationship a few months ago and needed a new plus one, and asked me to attend the wedding with her (it's still a few months away)
Here is the kicker, she knows I have strong feelings for her. I've had feelings for her for a while, but it just never seemed to pan out between us. When she was single in college, I was seeing somebody. And whenever I was single it appeared As though I was always a day late and a dollar short and she ended up dating somebody new.
We'll now we have both have graduated, and live about two hours away. We still frequently see each other when we get together with our group of mutual friends. When the other week she asked if I wanted to be her date to a wedding, and I can't tell if I got asked as the "date" or the "friend".
Thanks for the advice.

TITLE: I [31M] think I'm just not interested in a relationship. But at the same time I feel alone.
POST: I've never had any real luck with dating. My only 'relationship' was a brief few dates with a girl who broke up with me after a month. All I kinda had the feeling afterwards that the whole thing was more frustrating then it was fun.
I wasn't too broken up when she broke up with me, but well, I was just kinda underwhelmed with the whole thing.
Sorry if I'm rambling a bit. I'm trying but failing a little in getting my thoughts about this organized.
Whenever I've seen my friends being in love, or with some in a steady relationship I see that it's obviously great for them. They're happy, it gives them tons of energy. But I don't see that happening with me.
I just don't see myself feeling that 'happy' or 'blissful' with anyone and I'm wondering if finding or having a SO is something for me.
But at the same time I feel alone in a way. I've got a few weeks vacation coming up but I'm not planning anything because I don't have anyone to well, go on vacation with or spend time with.

TITLE: I'm [20m] in a pickle, and he [20m] is offended.
POST: About two weeks ago this guy (Zach) started showing interest in me, and at first I wasn't sure if I felt the same... Then I did. Within a few days I was pretty much crushing hard on this guy.
Then it happened. Someone far less mature than me decided to write "I WANT YOUR SEX" on his fucking car and he decided it was me. One of our mutual friends told me what was going on, since Zach never approached me about it or asked me anything.
So I approached him on Facebook (yeah I'm a coward), I told him how I found out, and then explained that it wasn't me. He just sort of laughed it off. But the awful part is ever since this happened, he's been totally turned off. He no longer shows any interest in me at all, if anything he's put off by me.
The main evidence for his disdain and the climax of my issues is that I ASKED FOR HIS PHONE NUMBER at a party the night that his car was written on, (before I knew anything about it) and he laughed in my face. We were both getting pretty drunk/whatever and having a great time with our friends... Then he just laughs in my face.
What do I do?? Should I keep trying or is all hope lost? I really like him, halp.

TITLE: Reddit, please teach me the ways of a Mac
POST: I'm a Windows/Internet Explorer user (oh shush!), and had an interesting discussion with a friend at lunch that stumped me.
She owns a Mac (OS X I believe) and is afraid to go to porn websites in the event she gets malware of some sort. From my understanding, Macs *very* rarely get viruses, but adware and spyware are still possible (not to mention becoming a carrier of Windows viruses).
My recommendation to her was to download Firefox and the extensions Ghostery and AdBlock. Also, after doing some research, PeerGuardian will also be recommended.
So Reddit, what else can she do to give herself a digital condom? I'm looking at Sophos Anti-Virus and ClamXav for her as well, but I don't know which to recommend (to wipe any Windows viruses that could be lurking).

TITLE: What should I do with this "urge"?
POST: 22 M here. So there is this friend (21 F) of mine who I hang out with every weekend, and I have known her for 2 months. We are in a tight circle of friends, so never really been anywhere by ourselves. She's funny and interesting and all, but not sure if I want to be in a relationship with her (career and family reasons).
But here's the problem. I get this urge to be intimate with her every time she is around. She is not the typical "hot babe". If I didn't know her, I wouldn't even notice her. Her body type is a rectangle to be honest (still not ugly, I must say). But I swear, when she is around, I feel like I have to put my arm on her shoulder, or around her waist, or cuddle when we are watching movies and what not. And I have no idea how to deal with this.
I don't know if this means if I like her. Or the idea of her. All I know is that it is not just physical attraction, and I don't feel the same about any other girl. Like I said before, her body is not aesthetic and not someone who I would gawk at as they pass by in the middle of the street. But when she's around or sitting beside me, oh god. Don't know how to control this urge. Don't want to be "that guy".

TITLE: So my grandmother just had a siezure and is at the hospital. When she comes back, I want to use humor to make her more at ease.
POST: We had all just sat down for dinner, and she's looking at the wall, like she does sometimes, and my stepfather asks her what she's looking at. She doesn't respond, and he looks scared. So I immediately grab my phone and dial 911. She's starts to shake a little and can't talk, but she doesn't want us to call 911, which already happened. By the time the EMT's arrive, she's fine, and more embarrassed than anything. Her BP is 220/100, so everyone forces her to go to the hospital. She's there now, trying to see if anything is wrong.
Anyway, all that is to say that it seems like it was minor and she's going to be okay. My question is, when she comes back, I really want to start calling her "Twitchy" but I don't know if that's too much. I do have a tendency to not know when someone might be offended by something I think is funny, so I wanted to get Reddit's opinion.

TITLE: Reddit, I've been working the same job for over two years, and am now making slightly less than I did then. How do I ask for a raise?
POST: Basically, I took on some extra work as a security guard back in the fall of '08. It's just two shifts per week, 16 hours at $11.25/hour (works great with school and other work), but I haven't gotten a raise, ever. This year, some new taxes seem to have gone into effect, and now my extremely consistent weekly checks have gone down by about an hour's worth of pay.
The point is, I guess, that it seems wrong to have not gotten a raise in two years (with all good performance reviews), and even more wrong to be making LESS now than I did then, even if it is just because of taxes.
Anyway, it recently occurred to me that I've never had to ask for a raise I've always just gotten promoted or automatic raises. How do I go about this? How much should I ask for?

TITLE: I [F24] slept with a celebrity that was on my 'list.' Should I tell my boyfriend [M22]?
POST: My boyfriend and I have been together for 14 months. Early in our relationship, I'm not sure when, we made a list of people that we were allowed to cheat with. We each had 5 people.
Last night I was drunk at a club and in walks someone from my list. I go over and ask for a photo. Anyway he asked me to go home with him and I did. It was a bad experience. I had to sign a non-disclosure thing and he pretty much just laid there. At the time I thought that it was fine because he was on my list. But since sobering up I'm questioning that.
Should I tell him? No one I know was at the club and I can easily delete the photo I got with him. We have a great relationship and I just don't want to ruin it. I still have the lists that we made.

TITLE: Me [19 M] with my ex [19 F] of 13 months, I don't love her anymore, or at least I don't think I do but I still feel bad when I see her or hear what she's been up to.
POST: So, I was with her for 13 months and we've been broken up for about 3 months. I see her most days as we work in the same place over the summer just different shifts. We sometimes talk as she is ending her shift and I am starting it.
When I hear about what she's been up to or just see her in general I feel bad, like I get this feeling in my stomach. But the weird thing is, I don't think I love her anymore. We've both changed since the break-up. She's not the person I loved anymore, and the same goes for her about me.
Now that I've had time on my own I've realized how unhealthy our relationship was near the end of it and how that us breaking up was really for the best for both of us, especially now that she's moving across the country for university.
I just want to know, is this normal? Why do I feel like this?

POST: So, I met this girl 3 months ago and after awhile I fell really bad for her. I mean I'm thinking about her all the time.
And how things usually works with me I did the wrong thing. I've expressed my feelings for her and she was idk how to say not surprised, but rather wordless. She said that she doesn't know how she feels and I left it like that
In those 5 months I've had really good time with her and we had best of times together. And after a week or so she comes and kiss me first which left me speechless.
After few dates we kissed few more times and then she said that she doesn't feel connection or chemistry when we kiss. After that she told me that she care for me and that she loves me.
I literary don't know how to or what to do after that. I mean she's always on my mind and everything inside of me shatters and crumbles. I've never felt like this in my whole life. Thing is I want her to be happy and yet if I see her in someones else's arms I think I'm gonna die.

TITLE: Seeking Career/Pre-Interview Advice
POST: A little bit about my current situation. I'm in Communications/Public Relations. I've been eyeing this company since its founding in the late 2000s, but I've never applied because 1) Location (it's in another state) 2) Lack of experience experience at the time, and 3) Concerns with family and personal finances.
I've been at my first fill-time (read: dead end) job for 3+ years and there's no future growth for me here. I've gone to a few other interviews here and there and they've been flops. Failing these interviews have really gotten to me and I don't think I've fully recovered from the fear of failing another one. I really just wanted out of my current work situation, but I can't stop thinking of what it'd be like to work at this company. I've been researching this company for a few months now, found names of its executives and other key players, and have even gone as far as drafted a document--complete with goals, objectives and tactics--of what I can bring to the table.
I do have a distant connection with someone at the company, meaning someone can put in a good word for me. I feel confident that I'll at least get an interview at this company. I haven't applied yet, because I don't think I'm ready yet, and I don't want to screw up this opportunity. What are the next steps? What can I do to help me prepare?

TITLE: I'm(M22) Having trouble sorting my emotions and guilt about a dumb hookup with a friend I met online(F22)
POST: I[M22] met a girl[22] online playing video games as I was being introduced into a group of friends that played from different corners of the country. Right off the bat I could tell she liked me. She eventually asked me about my sex life and we both established that we were virgins. I'd seen pictures of her and I wasn't attracted to her physically but I was starting like her anyway.
Fast forward to half a year later she said she would be going to a theme park near me and she wanted me to come. Even though I was tight on money she said she wanted me to come and that she'd help me pay for any costs. She already knew I wasn't interested in anything long distance but she still wanted me to come.
Of course in my stupidity I went. I accepted money from a girl whom I didn't like as much as she liked me. I believed her when she said she wouldn't get attached. I slept with her and she knew it was just a hookup. I feel like absolute trash now because she texts me all the time saying depressing things about how she misses me and shes afraid of getting jealous over girls I might like in the future. Even though I gave her what she wanted and expected, I still feel like I mislead her and hurt her. I still want to be her friend and I think she does too. I have no Idea what I should do.

I know she cares about me and has love for me, but she is a flirt in nature. I found out that she was (very suggestively) texting this guy at her college, and recently broke things off. After awhile of thinking and coming to terms with the situation, I decided to give her another chance.. this is when she tells me that she had also cheated on me once before while we were together, and had made out with a different guy two days after we broke up. I know she regrets these things more than anything, they tear her apart. I can see it. I know she wants to change and to make her and I work. What do I do?

I don't have a very good washing machine. My drunk self just dumped the clothes in the washing machine after changing.
Fast forward to today. I grab the jeans off the top of the clean laundry basket for casual Friday. I get ready with the lights off in the morning because fuck the sun. Get dressed all normal like, then after a 45 minute drive to work I sit down at my desk and realize the pants I'm wearing are still covered my friend dried week old vomit. 90% of the smell is gone and the jeans are dark, but you can see it.

POST: We had a wonderful sexy time together with not a single fight. No rose tinted glasses here, we really never argued.
Out of the blue (we were making plans for the future) he left me for someone he met on holiday.
I've not been able to move on at all despite doing NC and keeping busy, I still cannot think of being with anyone else.
So I saw him, there was flirting and it wasn't at all awkward. He was very complimentary. He told me life is crap at the moment. He fights a lot with this woman and that it was great that it was nothing like that with me. He said he made a bad choice that he now has to live with.
I saw him again yesterday and again it was all happy and from my point of view there was so much sexual tension. He looks at me again in that way. You know the one. That look.
I don't know what to do now. He doesn't have to live with that choice. I'd have him back right now. No question.
Could he be waiting for me to let him know that? To me it's obvious, I've been living with missing him all this time, I also miss the greatest friend I've ever had. I assume he knows this but do I need to spell it out?
But then there's that playing hard to get thing I hear men like!
