Don’t worry at all about your past and being inexperienced here. You absolutely don’t have to disclose all this stuff especially on a first date and likely even in the subsequent months of dating a woman. I was actually in the same position at your age. She has plenty herself she is not ready to be vulnerable and open about. That’s not the focus here. Focus on having fun and taking a bit of a risk. No need to take it so seriously. Look at it as an opportunity to expose yourself to a new experience, learn and have fun. I hope you enjoy your date!

A lot to answer here in your post. A lot of this you will have to figure out on your own and trust your own knowingness and intuition. You got this my guy. I can give you a few insights I’ve had though. If you hang out and talk a lot via text, are emotionally vulnerable with each other and are having sex regularly then it is going in relationship territory. FWB just feels different. You will know what I’m talking about. It’s like knowing when you had an orgasm or awakening. You will just know and feel it’s happening. You will be thinking a lot about this girl and she will always be quite free and available to hang out and spend time with you. You may even find you are introducing each other to your friends and starting to RELATE, that is becoming a WE over an I. Making plans together, etc. FWB feels very separate and just about the sex and hanging out a bit after. For you, be fearless and let the relationship unfold and allow yourself to slowly grow into her. From there a lot of this neediness will surface and you can start addressing it and healing it so to speak. She will have her own process like this unfold as well. Good luck!

You’re playing a loser’s game ranking women like this. It does untold damage to yourself and your esteem in return. Stop ranking them and just pursue women you find beautiful.

Eastern Europe IMO has less dogma than the Bible Belt in the USA but more than Western Europe. Corruption and a lack of industry is a huge factor why it’s behind development compared to the west. Middle America would be a third world slum if it weren’t connected to the liberal east and west coasts.

I thought this shit blew over already. Borders haven’t closed yet. I think this is gonna be another delta thing where it will get a bit of coverage and stuff will stay the same.

Agreed OP, you probably are making mistakes very early on in your interactions with women and are still very much inexperienced and still have some inner work to do in this domain. You mention being ghosted or friend zoned which is something I've only seen/experienced this happen before a guy starts hooking up with a woman. You are not a thing before you have sex. Stop talking about giving love to any woman before you have had sex. It takes a couple months usually before a couple really falls in love. So I'm confused what you are talking about. You need to expand your consciousness and just expose yourself to much more experience and meet much more women. You sound very inexperienced. It's hard to really pinpoint what is going on here or in your post but it just reads like a cover up or a different way of framing that you aren't meeting women and you are getting turned down after a couple dates. You don't need to dress it up and make all sorts of conclusions and beliefs off this experience about love. Women and men fall in love like in some of the deepest tear jerking corny ways right out of a hollywood movie. It's possible and it happens and it is life changing. You just haven't experienced it yet.

Yes, a bit Sometimes I am bit tryhard with wanting to be right in a conversation.

Yes, this is a good take. He definitely can have sound judgements lobbed at him by normal folk that still stands up after criticism and inspection. I see that he has moved some industry forward and made some interesting contributions when it comes to automobiles but I'm not going to turn a blind eye to his dumb circle jerk cult and in general his unabashed and unremorseful exploitation of capitalist society. His ingenuity has moved aspects of society forward while simultaneously rewarding plenty of the toxic aspects as well.

could be a sensory thing. I used to put all sorts of stuff into my mouth and even now as an adult I feel a sight temptation to. I like fidget toys and certain sensory experiences that have to do with touching and playing with certain things. It feels good experiencing different things. Only real harm would be ingesting something poisonous.

I don’t think we will face a civil war in the sort of classical sense of states conducting military operations against each other. What could occur is severe corrosion and a sort of collapse of the system where various institutions are in just gridlock and the government stops working properly. It’s already done this. Imagine this on steroids.

Make outs mean less with girls you just met at the bar/club. You should have a very high close rate for girls you made out with on a date, etc.

Interesting how dems disagree more with him being named it over republicans. This is a solid orange pick this year. Also this isn’t necessarily a positive award for people who aren’t familiar with it. Hitler was named it once. It just is recognizing who has swayed society the most in a particular year. As a bit of an idealist myself I think Musk is not the best type of leadership for the development of humanity but it is what it is. Def had the most influence this year.

if you want your body to live long and healthy, you most definitely need money.

Never really happens like this with me. I do gain a lot of wisdom from my dreams though. Points me to stuff I'm holding onto or still hurts. Can also be a muse and fuel creativity.

yeah not a bad way of looking at it, agreed. years ago the best advice I got from a friend that was getting laid was "you're over thinking it."

had several of the same experience myself. pick up guys have to create all sorts of bullshit products and produce tons of useless content so they can stay relevant and have something they can sell/scam lonely desperate guys. the best coaches out there know that basically all pick up is is trying to get a guy to be his authentic, normal healthy self. from there fun and chill vibes come and attraction unfolds seamless and naturally.

probably uses his congregation to find concubines, ethically questionable for a spiritual teacher. like mooji. at least it seems like leo doesn't shit where he eats. that one time he made a post on his blog to try and find someone was funny though, but he quickly deleted it, so kudos.

There is nothing wrong with making some cash and living comfortably. You’re over valuing an image of Leo as your guru if you are bothered by him having some cash and having some fun in Vegas. Not everyone needs to fit some sort of mold to talk about some spiritual stuff. If you are bothered by that find other people to look up to. He says some silly and questionable advice sometimes and is immature on the forum sometimes but he’s far from some guy exploiting people for cash in the name of spirituality.

I’ll be calling on you if I ever need some advice on how to get over a painful breakup!

This is terrible. It’s a hard aspect of life. I’ve lost a few family members to cancer. Support her and give her space to make her choices. Let her know her fight will be helped by the support of friends and family. Send her love and prayers.

It’s not needy persay if you know how to do it right. A lot of behavior that requires effort and kinda shows it is over labeled as needy in pick up IMO. isolating is not needy if you are giving fun and leading vibes. It’s not necessarily needy when you claim your girl(s) and keep your territory also. It usually has to be done in high quality ways though through social skills and a gentleness, sometimes a bit firmly. A very low quality way would be getting angry and being aggressive. Obviously this is a turn off. A guy that displays confident body language though and can smoothly and firmly lead the vibe back to his leadership however isn’t seen as needy even though it does take some effort to do. Effortless effort in a way.

Slightly unrelated but three years ago when I was still doing day game I found a wing. We went out three times. I started opening sets and the greedy little shit would then sorta ride off of them. After I did the hard work of putting a bit of energy into starting a conversation he would sorta swoop in bypass having to do a bit of the initial needy stuff and take the number. He did it two or three times on the third day so I just stopped going out with him. Pussy parasite.

Does this work for you ? I never do this. I sort of just mirror how they are and really just play it cool. Like sort of slightly neutral chill texts with a friend. I won’t text a lot unless they show interest in that but even then I ain’t got time for that. I text a lot if they my gf / fwb though, spam memes.

I've noticed eastern religions tend to give more direct practices to find God that are sometimes esoteric but also sometimes easy to understand if you take a bit of time to learn them. For example, yoga and meditation. Christianity kinda bogs you down with a lot of bible shit and rules but it teaches heavily through stories and that can be kinda poetic in a way. It is kinda practical in the sense that it gives you some examples of challenges you may face in life. In the form of some abstract bible story and then how one might overcome them in alignment with god for you to then apply to your life. Prayer also is powerful as well which is sorta the Christian practice. I've been to some awful sermons though in Christian churches where the pastor basically went on about absolutely nothing for an hour.

Red pill likes to rope in stuff and borrow from more credible sources. It's a common thing when it comes to ideology and group think. Nazi ideology borrowed heavily from all sorts of scientists and top thinkers at the time to warp it around and justify their bullshit.
