What happened?

Not that you NEED a ton of common ground, but if it's not gonna happen, it's best to recognize that and keep away. Tomorrow's another day.

She basically said she felt like there wasn't much of a connection between us and that we didn't have much to talk about. I kinda felt the same. No hard feelings, and I can contact her if I ever need advice, ha.

I'm not broken-hearted. Wasn't feeling it myself either. She did say I seemed like a great guy, just not the guy for her. So that cheered me up.
 
Dude, you're living in a fantasy land. You haven't once talked to any of these women about anything but small talk. But she must have liked me, now she hates me, but she looked at me, so she must love me, new girl likes me, so old girl is jealous, how can I be so awesome but terrible at the same time yadi bladi.

Literally nothing has happened. You're writing a fanfic in your head. Either talk to one of them with clearer intentions or just accept that women think you're an ok guy to talk to, which is fine too.

Yeah, I already sort of know this, believe me. But it's good to hear it from someone else. Nowadays I often tend to see things that aren't there. I think I'm overcompensating from before when I missed opportunities because I never thought there could possibly be anything even if there was.

Having clearer intentions if I try is probably the best idea. But I'm considering just letting it rest. I don't think I should be pursuing relationships at work, at least not with people in the same lab.

I've never had any experiences with dating in the work place but it always sounded like a bad idea to me. At least you realize you're over thinking it. If you really want to see what will happen just ask one of them on a date and stop staying in your head.

Bah! If I recall correctly she is not there permanently and you are so it's no big thing. As long as you just keep things professional at work you will be fine. Dude I say give it a shot. Go talk to her and ask her if she would like to hang out. Worst case she says no but who cares she will be gone soon anyways and I think you will kick yourself if you missed the opportunity again.

Take a leap of faith. Lots of people meet at work.
 
Damn guys, so my relationship is going great but I only have one problem I just can't last long enough for her during sex, any tips? I told her I was going to make it up to her in the morning.

What kind of time frame are we talking? Best bit of advice: just go down on her until she's begging for your wiener.

The first night it was about 15 mins (Without condom) and after I came she was just begging for more literally. Maybe I should just do it with a condom so that I feel less? In the morning I'm thing of doing tons of foreplay and just go in once she begs for it like you said.

Look up foreplay tips. Make that intense and wrap it. Also tiger claw your arm and focus on that pain when you feel close to climax.

15 minutes doesn't sound that bad, assuming you're not including foreplay in there. And, even though condoms do kind of suck, I never noticed any real increase in duration.

Oh, and let her get on top and do all the work. This serves two purposes: 1) the girl can find that perfect position/motion to satisfy her and 2) I've noticed that unless the girl really knows what she's doing, it doesn't feel that great (aside from the whole having sex part, that is).

15 minutes is ok unless that includes foreplay too. Why not get her off first, then she's less likely to care how long you last.

Oh shit is this true? I've always preferred being on top so that's kind of disappointing to hear.

In my experience, girls really like just being on top and grinding. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, and unless that's all you're doing, I don't think any guy is going to say "omg this is the worst experience of my life."

It's the only position where I've lost erections sometimes. It's still good, but usually the girl doesn't produce enough friction and have the full motion that a guy can do when he's in control. I usually have to grab her butt and force her to go up and down instead of just sliding on me.

And my tip on lasting longer would be to either jerk one out earlier in the day or just keep going after your refractory period. If I cum early, I switch to using my hands or mouth until I'm ready again. Sex doesn't have to end when you cum.

Also 15 minutes is not a short session. I'm surprised she isn't sore by then. Make sure you're starting with foreplay beforehand.
 
Yeah girl on top is the best cause you barely do anything or feel anything. It's more of an ego boost watching her. If she's sitting on you grinding that is. If she props her self up and actually lifts herself up and down, that's s different story.

Also let's keep it real..15 mins is pretty short lol.
 
@hydrophillic attack

Girl #1 probably likes you, not many reasons for her to be cold suddenly. Very likely she's jealous (awwwwww). Anyway, you're over-thinking way too much and it feels like you have a maze of sorts going on in your head. Fix it all by asking Girl #1 out.

Whether you feel either of them likes or doesn't like you is irrelevant. All that matters is that you should make a move and see what happens. Good luck! :)

That was my case until my current gf. She really knows what she's doing on top. It's pretty much the only position that gets me off right now, which is a complete reversal from previous experience.
 
Look up 2GirlsTeachSex on your favorite torrent site. That helped me at least with coming up with new positions and they have tips on how to last longer etc (slow down before you cum for starters).
 
So that girl actually ended up responding a minute ago. All she said was "oh sorry I couldn't find my phone."

So, I'd really like to just ignore her and keep it movin', but if swallowing my pride and responding could lead to some sex it might just be worth it. I'm lost at sea, gentlemen.
 
Sorry for the late response. The second date was just AWESOME!

I asked my sister about good places to take her too, so I took her to a Cuban restaurant with tappas tonight. I went for a bit more physical contact like holding her hands and putting my arm on her shoulder and she appreciated it! I had a really good feeling too due it.

The restaurant had an offer with free cinema tickets if I payed a bit more and she immediatly made the response that it would be a great thing to do together in the upcoming week so we could see eachother again. Dam she likes me too!

Later on I kind of confronted her if the Casino thing was a date and she stated it was. The rejection at the beginning was due her not knowing me well and she was apparently being stalked. So she wanted to know me more before going out with me.

We had a fun chatter and a great dinner at the place. Gave her a cheek kiss and told her that I like her (didn't went for a mouth kiss as the place was full) and she said she likes me too :)

We were done with the dinner somewhat early at the night so she offered me to go to her place to hang a bit and drink. Had a chatter with her family about me, them etc which was great. Even random things like pets and whatnot. They even confronted us that it was a date (she told her mom haha) but it just felt good to know that we like each other. Not immediately in love (though I have it a bit with her) but that we like each other a lot and she thinks I'm cute and all.

Eventually her parents went to bed and she asked me if I wanted to hang to chat a bit more. I asked her what she wanted but noticed she was pretty tired and she acknowledged.

So... We said goodbye and thanked each other at her door. She went for the 3 kisses on the cheek (Dutch standard) and I did too. After that I wanted to do a mouth kiss. She hesitated a bit but then went for it (I made a head movement for her mouth). Followed by 3 cheek kisses and a mouth kiss again.

The mouth kisses were FAR from even professional and were pretty weird. It felt pretty good though! I kind of did not know what to say due it so I said goodbye, thanks for everything, good night and that I like her. Repeated those words a bit. My nerves kind of kicked in but ahhh well. It was a GREAT second date and we both can't wait to see each other again :)

Probably going to arrange for the weekend or next week as we both have to work. Might just come along and hang at her place or mine.

Would be my first girlfriend (and no rejection) and I'm so happy with her if it works out :)
 
Dat feeling when you enter your work studio to see the woman you like there and her apparent boyfriend sitting at your desk. Yep, that happened...

Oh shit is this true? I've always preferred being on top so that's kind of disappointing to hear.

Well that 15 minutes included me constantly pulling out so I won't cum inside of her. We finished and she said how was that then she was already ready for round 2. I'm like damn you gotta give me a min girl lol. Add the fact that I was drunk as hell in the mix, there was no way I was coming back that fast. Someone told me if I started masturbating everynight that would help but idk.

I did all the foreplay from neck kissing, lower stomach kissing, thigh kissing, and fingering to the point where she couldn't take it and wanted nothing else but me. But maybe it's because I haven't climaxed in a while so I just had to let that out fast.

Are you trying to conceive? Because if you don't want a kid, you're doing something dangerous.
 
Hello all. A quick update on the previous post.

Got this girl's number and asked her out to dinner. Sort of dodged the invitation and told me it was better if we rescheduled at school sometime, but that she still was up for it. I think she mentioned something about a boyfriend but she babbled a bit and she didn't really say anything concise? Didn't understand her on the phone. I don't think there's much potential in this one in the end. Maybe it will happen, but later.

Thanks to all who replied. Upwards and onwards.

Well that 15 minutes included me constantly pulling out so I won't cum inside of her.

The fuck are you doing, son?

Doesn't sound like much promise out of someone who can't even be understood. Move along brah.

Yeah, coincides with my opinion. Obviously I'll keep the door open, but for now I gotta move on. Cheers, dude.

Welp. Fooled around with my ex last night. I am too weak.
My first ex who helped me transform myself was out dancing on Saturday. She threw herself around my neck to hug me, which was enough to scare off another girl I had just met from Badoo for the second time xD That girl told me today that the ex probably simply couldn't control herself because she thought I was so handsome, because that hug wasn't normal behaviour xD And I agree, it was strange. No fooling around though, that would've been something!
 
I've been racking my brain the past few days trying to figure out what happened on my date on Friday and the resulting rejection for a second one. It was my first date in years but I don't think it went as bad as I initially thought. I'm just perplexed because near the end she was showing interest and we went to her car to check out some drawings she did and talked a little bit more. I even asked her if she wanted to meet again and she said yes. I sent her a message the next day and never heard anything back.

What the hell happened?

She just wanted out of the situation. You were the one who turned down tripping balls in the mountains, right? I doubt it'd work. Just let it go my dude.
 
Well that 15 minutes included me constantly pulling out so I won't cum inside of her.

What the fuck are you doing? This is idiotic.

Cant you just eat her out for 20minutes while you recharge?

Usually what I go for although 20 minutes is a damn long time :P
Sometimes though I just stay in and she slowly squeezes the kegel muscles. I'll tell you what, that feels amazing and seems to make the refractory period very short. I think last time it was less than 5 minutes.
 
Well this went well :/

Chatted with a girl on badoo for a few days and I did what most here said I should do when I posted earlier this month. Asked if she wanted to go out, she said yeah sure but I have much to do yada yada and I haven't heard from her since then :/

Were you not able to talk to her due to work?

But she hugged me man.... she hugged me at the end!

I know that doesn't mean anything more than a friendly gesture but still lol.
 
So that girl actually ended up responding a minute ago. All she said was "oh sorry I couldn't find my phone."

So, I'd really like to just ignore her and keep it movin', but if swallowing my pride and responding could lead to some sex it might just be worth it. I'm lost at sea, gentlemen.

So I'm a pussy and responded to her. We texted back and forth a few times last night.

Today I asked her if she wanted to do something tomorrow when hopefully Atlanta's roads won't be death traps. She says she'd like to, but the kids she watches are out of school so she's busy all day. I asked about dinner...and no response. I mean, I kind of understand what happened before, but for her to contact me and then flake again is just confusing.
 
She doesn't work, she is studying to get better grades since she skipped school a lot (gymnasiet in Sweden). She has been online and offline a lot this past 3 days since she stopped writing to me

I understand. I'd give it a few more days, but always be wary of people disappearing while dating online. Here's some insight if that should happen to you.

I've done a few times. I feel guilty for doing it. However, the thing with online dating is that there's no accountability and young people feel slightly creeped out about dating over the internet. There's still a stigma about meeting someone online in younger circles and even after a two dates with one girl, I felt weird because of that. A few days later she texted me and given the fact that I would never seen her again, I decided to ignore her.

I'm sorry if that ends up happening to you. I hope it doesn't and she's busy.
 
I'm again perplexed by how conversations tend to develop. Just like with chess, one opening move (Hi, how are you) can lead to dozens of different responses, and ways the game, or the conversation can play out. And just like with chess, I'm learning to play less by ear, and actually sort of know what I'm doing, and feel confident.

But I still get the idea that it doesn't REALLY matter wether I know how to play, or how to have a decent conversation. Contrary to chess this might be based on luck. I spoke to a girl this afternoon online. We had a decent conversation, I knew what to ask, when to make a joke, when to flirt a bit. But it was almost...mechanical. Like, almost play by play.

This evening, I go online for just a bit, because I really have to study. The Dutch girl, who's currently in Dublin asks: Hi, how are you? The same opening move as before. So we start talking again, and something really interesting unravels.. An hour passes, two hours pass, three. Three and a half. And then she really has to go to sleep.

And it left me wondering. Why does a conversation with one girl, who is by all means interesting and interested feel like work? And the next was great? I've had great conversations with people before. Before my social anxiety started to subside. Like certain people just made it non-existent.

And this girl as well. In the conversation she made me come to conclusions I've never thought of before. Stuff that rarely happens. Like she encouraged my mind to freely wander and explore and connect different aspects of different things. This post might be a bit weird, and stream of conscience like. But I also have to go to sleep :P (and I'm annoyed that she's in Dublin, and I have no clue for how much longer, perhaps I should ask her...)
 
Idde, that's because the state of mind two people are in during a conversation greatly affects the interest level and flow of said conversation. And that's just one way of looking at it.

Anyway, I've posted sporadically here the past few days, but to summarize and conclude: There were two women I was attracted to initially for different reasons (one who I've known for a semester already), but deep down I already had feelings for one of them, decided to pursue her, but she has a (unofficial) boyfriend and is out of the game. I'm feeling a bit dejected since I've had a crush on her for a while (and feeling stupid that I didn't act sooner). I also asked her directly if she was available or not despite knowing full well she isn't (to snuff out any remaining feelings I have for her), which is currently adding to my feeling like an idiot.
 
Ugh, I'm painfully head over heels for a girl I can't have (yet).

I've known her since June and have talked to her every now and then when she was at music events I was going to. After my last GF broke up with me, I started pursuing her. That's when I found out that as much as she'd love to go on a date with me, she can't date until she turns 16 in January 2015 (following her parent's strict rules). That was back in November, but since then I've only fallen harder for her. For example, I just had a music recital with her and was mesmerized by her heavenly voice when she sang Handel's "Oh, Had I Jubal's Lyre." She's gorgeous, sweet, has a heart of gold, interested in similar things to me (singing, artwork, writing), and might even still be interested in me as well.

The thing is, part of me would gladly wait for her. My brain tells me that's crazy, that I should chase some other girl and not waste my precious teen years (I'm currently 16 going on 17 in May). But my heart says that because she's such a wonderful person (and getting to know her, she truly is) she's completely worth waiting for. In case you can't tell, I'm a teen suffering from a dreadful case of one-itis.

But at the same time that's not totally true. There is at least one other girl I admire in a different way which is obviously causing me to hesitate. Instead of sweet, she's sarcastic. Instead of writing and art, it's video games and anime. I like the former girl more, so I don't see what's right about trying for the latter knowing full well I want to go for the former next year.

My heart says, "Confess! Confess!" I'll hope the former girl likes me back (which she likely does I believe) and if it works out like that, I'll at least have my cards on the table and not constricting me so close to my chest.

You're talking about a 15 year old girl here. How do you know that she is so wonderful? She doesn't even know herself yet (no she doesn't, she truly won't for maybe another five years). All three of you are gonna change drastically several times over probably during the next 10 years. One-itis never makes sense, but in the mid-teens? Even less so. I don't recommend starting to chase her or any other girl, that rarely works. And don't confess anything either, you probably barely know your own emotions yet since you barely know these girls for real. And confessing isn't as smart as it seems. If you want them to know you like them, show it through actions like asking them out if you have to. And no flowers or crowns of sonnets please :) No need to be sappy, just ask her out when the time comes (I assume you guys are Americans since the parents have such power over her love life, otherwise it sounds like a poor excuse not to go on a date).

That's being generous. I'd say most people are still in the early stages of learning about themselves when they're 19-20. You still have things like college ahead of you at that point, a lot can still change.
 
I'd say women tend to not know themselves until hitting mid 20s, when all the pressure of nearning 30 really starts kicking in and then hopefully they figure to not give a damn.


A quandary for you all:
I've only met this girl twice and we kissed on our second date, but I might have tried to hastened things a bit too much; what happened was that she took me to her home at 8am but just kicked me off, to which I didn't react well. After a couple of text messages it seemed we were okay and i asked her out for dinner a couple of days later, but she's been in complete radio silence. Now it's been a week and I'm mulling if I try it again or just call it quits.

While you're right that they won't truly become a fully formed person for years yet, dating and having a relationship is part of growing up. It's part of high school. It's not uncommon for a teen to have "one-itis" (such a stupid term!) when they are falling in love for the first time. Yes, that love isn't the same as it will be 10-15 years down the line, but it is also part of the maturing process. The process of learning about dating, relationships, and so on. Let him pursue this girl, as much as he can at the age of 16, and learn from the experience. Chances are they're not going to be together for the rest of their lives, but he'll have the memories and experience for the rest of his life, which will serve him well in future relationships too.

This is no quandary at all. You haven't heard from her in a week. Move on.

This is very true, thanks. I hate myself for having missed out on all of that. I've worked my way through that disadvantage by now I think, but it has been rough from time to time to have missed all that. While it's hard to take teenage romances seriously as an adult, it truly is valuable as you say! I don't really agree with letting him pursue her though, no matter how old or young he is, but that's just me :) It'd be better if he learned from the start not to do that stuff. Having romances though, that's obviously great.

Edit: Slight problem on my own! Not dating related really, but any thoughts on how to distinguish one twin from another? I'm having a really hard time separating one male twin from his brother at the club (they work there). And I'm usually frighteningly good at remembering faces and names, even of people I haven't officially met. Of course, they have their small facial nuances that separate them for example, but I can barely see the differences in the first place so it's not as helpful as it could be. And I can't really ask which one is which, simply because I talk to them often enough to appear like I know them personally, and I know their names and I've talked online with one of them. So bringing up the fact that I have no idea who is who would be embarassing at this point :lol Any ideas how to figure out who is who and make me remember it? I suppose I could try the tried and true method of introducing a friend to them so they're forced to say the name but that won't help make it stick when they're near-identical.
 
You're talking about a 15 year old girl here. How do you know that she is so wonderful? She doesn't even know herself yet (no she doesn't, she truly won't for maybe another five years). All three of you are gonna change drastically several times over probably during the next 10 years. One-itis never makes sense, but in the mid-teens? Even less so. I don't recommend starting to chase her or any other girl, that rarely works. And don't confess anything either, you probably barely know your own emotions yet since you barely know these girls for real. And confessing isn't as smart as it seems. If you want them to know you like them, show it through actions like asking them out if you have to. And no flowers or crowns of sonnets please :) No need to be sappy, just ask her out when the time comes (I assume you guys are Americans since the parents have such power over her love life, otherwise it sounds like a poor excuse not to go on a date).

When I say wonderful, I just mean she's a really good person. Like, volunteer all the time, never ever ignore the hurting kind of person. She writes quite a bit and posts some of it online, and she expresses overflowing empathy for various causes. I find this incredibly attractive, even if at heart all people are basically good, not just her. She, at this point, is a good friend of mine who I talk to fairly regularly. Though as it is now I admit there's a ton I don't know about her, I do know enough personal things to constitute being in the class of a good friend. I know we're still teens; I know we both have a lot of growing up to do. In fact, I'd put "discovering oneself" as a trait high on her priorities, no doubt she will change and as will I. Writing all of that I'm well aware of how stupid I may sound.

When I say confess, I mean simply say I hold these feelings (and maybe sneak in a quick kiss, because I'm going to enjoy being an idiot). Not anything on the level of the worst of GAF, but only something that will relieve me of a bit of tension I'm feeling. I don't expect it to do much of any good for me, it's more of a personal thing.

Anyway, yes I'm American (Wisconsin). Her parents have very strict rules besides dating too, they kind of control her schedule somewhat tightly. I'd expect my head cut off if they found out I did something to enable her to break those rules. Trust me, it's not her excuse, that's for sure.

I want experience to guide me. A bad experience is still valuable. My concern is not wasting the time I have while still being true to myself. Again, I'm well aware of how immature this can sound, nevertheless it's the ramblings you'll find in my head.
