My (new) update thread. GUESS WHO HAS GIRL FEELINGS AGAIN

[dead0man]

I can't believe people were seriously suggesting to fake being a christian so you can date a christian.  Low class.

I know I shouldn't for my own good be posting in this thread, but... have you given some thought to whether your "getting with" this girl is a good idea? If your feelings for her aren't very deep (no offense, but you seem to have pretty rapid changes of mind on these or other issues) maybe you shouldn't attempt to start a relationship. You don't know how it would end up, and if she is so young (freshman means 14-15, right?) and "innocent", it might end up pretty badly for her. At least take some time to get to know her as a friend/acquaintance before.

I've known her for a few months now, but I'm not looking to start a very serious relationship. I'm too worn out from my last two major relationships that I just really am not looking to go down that road. I consider her a very good friend. Matter of fact, I was suicidal on Saturday and went out to a playground where I considered taking my life and told her I was upset and she left her house, drove 15 minutes just to come visit me and make sure I was okay. No one has ever done that for me before.

I don't know if the suggestions were entirely serious, but I never actually considered it. An IRL friend of mine told me that I should Tebow in front of her as like a mating call.

What the hell is wrong with kids these days? Anyone else remember in school when you wanted to get a girl, you went for it?

It's still like that for some kids but my relationships are a million times more awkward

[dead0man]

The most important thing is, don't make a huge deal out of any failures or successes.

It's better to ask and be rejected than to never ask at all.  Worrying about asking is much worse than the asking itself, at least in my just as awkward teenage experiences.  There is some value in "weird" if you're going after chicks that dig that kind of thing, but self confidence works well on everybody...but damn it's hard to fake

I think it's time to quote Lief's advice from your last Update.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Then block her number, delete her from Facebook, and avoid her for the rest of your life.

Then, for girl #2, invite her over or go somewhere private, hang out like you usually do, and when the moment feels right, go for the kiss. If she kisses you back, congratulations! If she doesn't, do one of the following:

1) Run away, block her phone number, delete her from Facebook, and avoid her for the rest of your life.
2) Laugh confidently, change the subject, never talk about it again.

Follow my advice, TO THE T, and you will achieve your goals and find happiness.

Lief is the Love Doctor.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Lief is correct. Please don't show your ex you're jealous or she will only make it worse. Also, if the girl at your school isn't interested, move on to the next one. Don't make any random girl feel like she is more important than she is. It will drive her crazy.

[Lief 🗽]

99% of this forum's problems follow directly from not following my advice, yes.

Though in this situation it might be better for R2D2 to just abstain from women for a while and just play video games and watch free high-definition internet pornography like a normal teenager.

This is your plan B, though I don't get why you can't just find a stoner girl.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Jake, I must inquire as to how or why you felt suicidal.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I missed the suicidal part. What?

You don't need to date. Also, you don't need to be in a friends with benefits deal either. Whenever you enter one of those, the end result is losing that friend. One of you will catch feelings and the other will screw you over. If you want to keep this friend, don't sleep with her. Trust me. I lost a girl I liked because I started sleeping with her and it blew up about 8 months later.

This isn't hyperbole, is it?

OK, let's stop with the usual forum bullsh*t. Dude, you need to get help about that. Being a teen certainly sucks (I can attest it) but feeling suicidal is not just normal emo stuff. It's serious. Have a good talk with someone you trust, see a psychiatrist and if necessary take some medication. If you are suffering from clinical depression, you can't just wait and expect it to go away. Doing that, you have a good chance of ending up acting on your thoughts. This is more important than anything else you've been talking about in this thread so far.

To respond without quoting all the posts:

1. I will eventually follow Lief's advice to the T. That I can assure ya'll of.
2. Judge me as ya'll will, I'm very relationship dependent. Not really a matter of being in a relationship, but I like cuddling and making out and all that jazz. I'm not really trying to be in a serious relationship (as I said, I don't even want any sex.)
3. As for being suicidal...sh-t has been really hard on me lately. A lot of friends have f--ked me over and pressure has been mounting over a lot of sh-t. It's a rather long story idk.

My mom won't get me help. We don't have money and my mom doesn't want me on medications.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Make better friends. People who won't f**k you over. Whenever someone does that to me, and it is rare because I have good judgment most of the time, I cut them out completely. Some people are bad and they need to be left alone.

Well, I'm no fan of psychiatric medications anyway. They can be necessary, but only at last resort. If you can't see a psychiatrist (isn't that covered in insurance policies? God, American healthcare really sucks), at least try to make a good friend or find someone in your family who you know cares about you.

Why doesn't she want you on medications?  My mood started to improve dramatically after I started taking anti-depressants.

[Oakvale]

I agree with Tony in that I'm pretty sceptical of medications for everything but in your case - if you are genuinely suicidal - I think it might be worth looking at.

Anyway,

Make better friends. People who won't f**k you over. Whenever someone does that to me, and it is rare because I have good judgment most of the time, I cut them out completely. Some people are bad and they need to be left alone.

This is second only to Lief's as the best advice in this thread. Cut these people out of your life.

[This user has not been convicted of 34 felonies]

Don't worry, I've already cut those people out of my life. They're gone for good suffice to say. The problem is making friends. I don't do very well with it.

(isn't that covered in insurance policies? God, American healthcare really sucks)

Nope it's not. Preaching to the choir.

Why doesn't she want you on medications?  My mood started to improve dramatically after I started taking anti-depressants.

She doesn't believe depression is a real disease. She thinks the medications are just an expensive excuse to get treated different. She says the only reason I believe I'm depressed is because in 6th grade I told a teacher I wanted to kill myself and the school flipped out and demanded my mom get me help, which she refused.

Totally absurd.  Have you talked to your school counselor about this?

My mother has instructed me not to talk to anyone at school about being suicidal.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Jake, I am truly saddened to see that your mom hasn't stood for you as she should have. Even in my darkest hours, I realize I'm blessed to always have had a mother who gave me all their love, understanding and support every time I needed them. I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like without her. Really sorry.

I don't say this lightly or jokingly - that woman is Oakvale crazy and as soon as you can you need to get the hell away from her.
