If you are 18+, I'd highly recommend it.

That reminds me, I keep seeing tons of people whose Tinder apps are 'lying' and 'they're not 22, they're 16' or some bollocks. There have even been some girls saying they're 19-20 and have a picture of them in their school uniform.

When you take into account all the creeps on this app, it makes you wonder why the feth they're on it. Stay in school and learn yourselves an education! >.<

In my experience, the girls most interested in messing around are 18-20 year olds and then suddenly you have this 21-30 year old age range where 90% only want a serious LTR followed by 31+ cougars that are just as thirsty as the younger ones. There's got to be some kind of hormonal explanation or something.

Tinder is a very simple app to connect you with girls/guys. You set your preferences, male/female, age and distance to search, and it gives you pics of the girls/guys matching your preferences. Swipe right if you like them, swipe left if they're mug. If you swipe right on someone, and they do it for you too, you can chat.

If you are 18+, I'd highly recommend it. Although word of warning for you, you will get a lot of dirty guys after one thing, but they should be easy to spot.

I am 17, but it does sound interesting. Perhaps in the future.

Creeps, as well as the direct and indirect effects of their behaviour, is my biggest peeve in the history of everything.

I re-roll failed melee hits against them.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of me trying to get a refund on a plane ticket to Sweden...

Id go to Sweden anyway, not for Ashiraya (thouh Im sure shes a lovely young lady), but for Scandinavian women in general... oh and the natural beauty of Scandinavia itself, that too.

So, everyone in my family and one person(good friend from before this job) from work are telling me NO.
I am especially reconsidering now that I hear they think I pass gas constantly in there

Your family don't run your life, and anyone who thinks that farting is something to tease about is being childish; farting is funny to people whose ages are still in single figures. Anyone who believes a rumour that you're gassy and thinks worse of you for it is someone wholly undesirable, and at least by going for it and asking you can determine whether or not you finally caught a break, or managed to dodge a bullet - a bullet you can probably pick out of the wall and show management. Harassment isn't something that anyone should have tolerate, especially at work.

Right now you're picking at loose threads and trying to unstitch yourself; your family doesn't depend on the outcome of asking this person, and neither should any friendship worth its salt. Anyone worth including in your life won't judge you for rumours, and you'll soon know if they're worth even giving the time of day, never mind your own time.

Or you could not do it, and let your brain forever use your family and friends' approval in order to judge whether your own decisions in life are worth making, never mind the nagging thoughts inside your head that still wonder what her answer would be.

I don't live your life - nobody here does - so all I can really suggest is that you go for the option you can live with, and that the most important thing here is to actually make a decision. Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter, the difficulty lies in actually making that choice before someone, or some thing, makes it for you.

I dont know why I keep doing that to myself TBH. Maybe it is just so I can just not worry. Right now alot is going through my head about it(Like what if I do get in trouble with managment?)
But to be fair to my friend, he didnt say no, but be careful and dont do anything more if she says no. He said he wouldnt do it(Despite getting hit on) but he wished me luck

I agree with Avatar. It's your life. It's now or never. You ain't gonna live forever. You should just live while you're alive.

According to Adam Savage I will live forever.

Yeah, it's your own life and all that, but if your friends/family are more familiar with the situation than random strangers on the internet you should think about what they have to say. They might be too pessimistic, or they might know that she's not actually interested in you, the "signs" you're seeing are just in your imagination, and you're just going to embarrass yourself.

Sometimes embarrassing yourself isn't a bad thing.

Failure isn't really failing, because there's an object lesson learned; knowledge is gained. The feeling you receive from it, embarrassment in this case, isn't a bad thing. It represents enlightenment. It's painful, but really, anything worth doing is. There is nothing gained in this world without anything suffered.

The only true way to fail is to never act. Oh sure, you can be safe, but there's already a little too much of that going around.

No, you shouldn't be so terrified of failure that you never act, but there's a difference between a friend saying "don't bother, she's out of your league" without knowing anything about the situation and saying "she's not interested in you at all, you're just going to make it awkward at work" because the friend actually knows her opinion and is just trying to save him from an embarrassing mistake. Not allowing yourself to give up out of fear isn't the same thing as blindly ignoring all advice and jumping off a cliff.

Ok, this guy is not in the department(He is parkk services) He doesnt know I just told him about my plan and he said it may not be the best but he wished me luck

The problem is that based upon the explanation hotsauce has provided and the portrait he normally paints of himself, the easy assumption to make of the situation is that there is more of the former and less of the latter at work here.

I suppose I'm still presuming more of the situation than someone in his actual life. Eh, to hell with it, everyone do whatever.

If she is actually hot, she's out of his league and it's not even close.

I'm not shooting in the dark here either. This is based on Hotsauceman's posts. I honestly think it is a terrible idea and he is just going to get hurt and possibly freak the girl out.

There, I said my bit. Bite my head off if you like.

The entire concept of leagues is just plain stupid.

He's admitted that he is over 300 pounds Peregrine. Unless he is the most charming and intelligent guy in a ten mile radius he isn't going to hook up with a hot girl.

'A cat can look at a king.' Plus, he has the advantage of actually knowing the girl. If it was a cold approach, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but presumably this girl has gotten to know him a little bit, which would help. Personality does go a long way. I'm not exactly a skinny dude (in fact I don't weigh that much less than hotsauceman, though I am quite tall) but I'd wager that I get more chicks than anyone here, quite comfortably.

300? That's a lot. I am like... 130.

This is some crossover from the "fat Americans" thread. It really depends on how you carry that weight. It doesn't matter terribly if your tall or built but weigh more. It'll probably look proportionally fine. Which I'm sure it does on yourself, you stallion you. It's when you're fairly short and fat or just morbidly obese that it becomes an instant visual problem.

DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERZ.

You owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. Go get'em tiger.

I could go on and on, but basically, this is one instance where it does really boil down to that simple line, which I will repeat.

DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERZ.

Also, if you're around people that are negative to you all the time, you owe it to yourself to find some new friends and inject some positivity into your life. You know you only get one.

My weight has never been anything I thought about beyond health problems(Which is why im trying to shed the pounds) At many a gaming club or tournaments, I met large people who had very attractive GF. I learned weight is not an issue unless you are so big you need two seats. Im also very tal(5.9) so my weight is less of a problem. And I have dropped down pants sizes in the last month.

I know lots of larger gentlemen who manage to score really really damned fine looking ladies, thats kind of a cruel assumption that because someone is fat they can only be with ugly girls.

also is 5'9" considered tall? Im 6'0" and only consider myself to be average height.

Edit: Okay, if you insist on staying delusional.

Screw this, I'm outta here

Hmm. A girl I was dating once saw my computer with Dakka up, with someone's pony avatar on it and the first thing she said was "Oh god, you're NOT one of those bronies are you?"

After I was done laughing, I set things straight. This was also a considerably nerdy girl. In contrast, the first thing she said when I showed her the 40k room was "where do you keep the 'nids?"

Just food for thought.

Oh, if you think I'm going to hide it or just give it up, you are in sane.

I wouldn't expect to you, nor am I telling you to. trex's comment just reminded me of an anecdote relevant to bronyism and dating.

Like I've been saying from the beginning. You're your own person, living your own life. All I can do is speak from my own personal experiences as objectively as I can manage.

EDIT: Also, I assume you meant "if you think", rather than "if you don't think" but mistyped. If you're actually giving it up, then I would need to reevaluate my response.
