Hey guys, am interested in what suggestions some might have given this situation: I met a girl online who is from the states, has been living overseas, and is now moving to the city I'm in. We exchanged a few emails and then I suggested Skype. Everything has been going well in that we have...

I think you already did the right thing: You talked to your guy friend and told him he should fess up and he chooses not to - that's all you can do in this situation IMO. It does put you in a hard spot, however you did stick up for the girl by mentioning to your friend that you didn't...

Also agree with the luxury hotel bars - just walking into one sets you up for a great story the following day. On a more subtle side: Try grocery stores like Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods, as well as different book stores. We have a huge used book store/record store here in town and I was...

Where I'm at now I've been sober since Wednesday after a month long binge. It's amazing how clear headed I've been feeling in the mornings - waking up sober is almost a buzz in itself. The hardest day was yesterday. I'm a professional musician and we played at a college. One of the...

Great replies! I've stopped fully for now but I'll probably try to slowly work it back in. In the past I've started out doing great with a 2 glass of wine or 2 Guinness limit and it worked for awhile, but there has always been a catalyst that pushes me over which I'll talk about later...

To get straight to the point: After so many times of hitting rock bottom re: episodes dealing with drinking way too much, I feel as if it finally needs to stop. Over the past two days I have put myself and others in danger, and self-sabotaged a great budding relationship by getting way too...

Professional Tease I hung out with this girl again last night. After she had texted me Monday afternoon, I ran into her that night at a show in town. She was surprised to see me and I was very indifferent. She told me that she couldn't stay because she was friends with the guy that played...

Update I just received a long text from her that basically said she gave me the "exact opposite impression" that she was trying to express to me. (I think this refers to her not being DTF but also not wanting to be done with me). I feel this is reinforced by the follow up that all she wanted to...

squirrels, I've found myself in a similar place many times before, and at the risk of sounding 'new-agey', I would suggest trying sitting meditation. For myself, I've found that when I feel this way it is because I've attached myself to an overwhelming amount of negative or destructive...

squirrels - yeah, I agree with your take on it. She admitted being conflicted and saying that she "read" me totally wrong and that I continued to surprise her which encouraged my in-the-moment, over-thinking of what was happening. I found myself in another unexpected moment with a great chick...

Haha, great quote. Do you guys think this is salvageable? I'm assuming the next move would be no move, unless she reaches out to me?

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I'm in the torn between whether or not her IL was high enough or if I didn't escalate hard enough. And agree that she could just be a major tease. The thing is, I was pushing it pretty hard, and in my head I kept telling myself "actions, not words". To be...

Here's what I thought to be an interesting situation and am curious to hear how it's interpreted by others: I met this girl who is in the music biz with me and is super hot and talented with guys chasing her around everywhere. We're casual at first until one night at a party I move in on her...

This is something I've been using recently and wanted to share: The phone scrabble app "Words With Friends" has been an interesting way to take things slow while steadily keeping or raising interest. I'm working under the premise that most women love being competitive while also proving...

@squirrels Yeah I agree about the dating hot girls in general. The thing with the bartender chick was that everything was pretty awesome. The attention she got didn't bother me and I knew she was head over heels for me. I was the prize and maintained by confidence without trying to prove...
