>she is pretty
>she obviously likes me (probably the first time I've been confident I could ask a girl out successfully)
>start falling for her
>brain spends the next few days going into overdrive trying to work out how I can make it work with this new girl

This has happened before and I find that I can get over it after a few days. But is this the curse of being a man? Is this what it's like being hitched? It's extremely painful and will cause nothing but trouble.

This girl in particular seems attainable and my imagination is telling me she would be a great match for me, and thinking of the qualities she has that I like, that my gf doesn't.
And then my current gf, I mean I like her enough but the excitement has faded. I'm often fighting with a desire to leave; I have a few misgivings about her and the relationship but I think it's just as much a fear of commitment and a desire to see what else I could get, now that I have some confidence that I can actually get a girl.
I think the biggest reason I haven't and don't is because I almost feel trapped. Not in any nefarious way but just because she likes me so much - she's chinese and they seem to be like as soon as you're dating it's super serious and you're getting ready for marriage. I've met all her family and friends and she talks excitedly as if getting married and having kids is a foregone conclusion. I think breaking up would break her.

In this particular situation I know I can't just kick my current gf to the curb because another girl has taken my fancy. It's a matter of honor and integrity.

give her tons of positive reinforcement whenever you see her doing something you like. if a pair of pants is slightly tighter, act like it's the greatest thing ever. no negative reinforcement when she wears something loose, just positive "you look beautiful / whatever" when she does something you like

I think positive reinforcement is probably a good idea, but it depends on how much, also you can only really looksmax yourself. It's like losing weight, the person has to decide themselves. You can give her all the tips, advice, etc. But if she doesn't want to, it's not happening. Had personnel experience with ex that came down to this. She wouldn't lose weight even when I tried to positive reinforce, get active together, etc.


>>32332213

How to avoid the friendzone?
20 replies omitted. Click here to view.

>>32332441
Be more assertive from the getgo. Be upfront with what you want. Don't use signals or hope for an outcome. If you want something, make it clear as early as possible. You'll spare her time too, not only yours.
>>
>>32334568
>By progressing the relationship. Don’t be that guy who’s supportive and nice but doesn’t make any actual moves.

this is me , it absolutely eats me alive inside because I can't decide who I want to be. Wait till marriage guy or go for the kill guy.
>>
>>32332441
The only person who can put you in the friendzone is you. Being "put" in the friendzone implies that you're in a place you can't get out of. That doesn't exist. No one is forcing you to settle for a friendship with anybody you don't want to be friends with. Getting put in the friendzone is just called getting rejected. If I apply to a business and they say "No thanks we don't want to hire you but you're still welcome to come shop here" I didn't get "shopperzoned" I got turned down. Period. If you want to be romantic with a woman tell her that you have romantic interest in her. If she says no then feel free to fuck off. The only person that can force you to stay around and pretend to be friends with her is you.

37M. This is not just another "why nobody fuck me" post.

Like, I get it, I already have the answer. Poorer men than me get sex, fatter men than me get sex, less manly men than me get sex, uglier men than me get sex. It's really because I'm broken inside and I know it shows just by looking at me in the eyes.

I'm actually an escortcel, at some point I decided paying was better than nothing and entered that rabbit hole. In my location -not US- it's fairly regulated, accessible and arguably safer than picking random chicks in a bar. It's not impersonal, we chat a bit about life etc. They aren't mere cum dumps to me. Haven't fell in love with any either. It's the half-life I chose and I'm not proud of it, but it's better than nothing. Of course that's not the same as a fulfilling relationship, and sometimes that empty feeling kicks, like in this exact moment. (In case you're wondering I was already broken before I started doing this)

The question is, how do I unfuck myself? Am I too far gone for a normal life? Is my fate to stay browsing escort websites, fulfill the physical need and then feel miserable later?

I already quit escorts for long periods. Didn't work.
I have my hobbies. They give that bit of dopamine but then it goes away.
I have lots of hobby buddies but no truly close friend or confident. I'm like a shell that won't open.
I already tried therapists. Didn't work. Heck, escorts do a better job in this department
I have a nice job, but as I sink into depression I'm slacking more and more and sooner than later I'll run out of excuses and everything will crumble.

God I don't even know if I really want a relationship, I just don't want to feel empty and lonely. I know I can (and maybe should aim to) feel happy and fulfilled while alone, I'm simply unable to. Something is missing and it's probably not a gf. Purpose perhaps? How do I even build purpose out of thin air?

You have to want to turn things around. At 35 your ever decision is a vote cast for the type of future you want. If you decide to doomscroll 4chan every day, that's the future you want, and that's the future you'll have, you simply don't want to turn things around.

29M lost my virginity to an escort in the ghetto. Was afraid of getting an STD so I pulled out after I felt in my heart that I was not married or in love with this woman like the girls I used to have a crush on. I felt very upset I can't get this love story I've always dreamed of with women ever in my life. Everything just twists into a reprehension with women in my life.

Not a suicide or killing myself thread. Quite the opposite. I got psyched out over the realization that one day I will die and I don't know what's next. It's a massive fear of mine that hasn't crept in a long time so now that it is it's interfering with my everyday life. I've tried distracting myself with media, going to a party, and indulging in spiritual reading (mainly Christian and NDE) which don't always help. I'm young and don't have any health issues that I know of and really do not need this sense of anxiety and stress over me as I finish the semester.

Luckily for you, the way you deal with the fear of death is just like any other fear. You expose yourself to it, in this case it'd be exposing yourself to the thought of it, and feel the sensations of fear in the body without judgement. It really is that simple.
You're looking for the realization "Oh, these are just thoughts". It'll come eventually with enough acceptance and letting go

I won't read yet another anxiety about death thread. As I've said before, such subhumans are not fully alive is why they have so much time to worry about such things.

Won't waste too much time with all the lore.

My 25f friend is in a toxic relationship where he has cheated on her in the past with 5+ women. He keeps roping her back in with false promises of change, and love bombing.

I have already tried talking to her, but she has BPD and has a trauma bond. Any ideas or pro gamer moves I can pull to break them up? I don't care about the morals at this point, I just want to see her realize how terrible he is.

My only thought so far is to have another girl reach out to her and say he cheated again. Thoughts?
