>tfw never talk to her because don't know how to bring up music without sounding dumb

>>36460432
Ask her if she thinks Bilinda is a qt

>>36460317

Oh shit, right in the feels...

>>36460432
no greentexting here. im telling you. stop thinking music taste will successfully bond you with someone. i had great music bonding once and it fell apart because we had little else in common to fall back on. in fact, starting a relationship based on music will only ruin it. relate to humans on a social basis, leave music out of it.

>>36460383
nah.. there are tons of decent clubs in the uk at least

>>36460432
Start a band and one day while you're talking, find a way to sneak it into the conversation

>>36460317
i like your post

>>36460471
>relate to humans on a social basis
h-how

>>36460494
stop stuttering online. thats the first step. the second step, pay strict attention to when your addition to the conversation adds to or takes away from that conversation. also. just be straight up nice and pleasant. smile lots. that will get you a long way

Why not just enjoy swedish and skrill?

>tfw first went clubbing at 14 years old

>>36460609
man but i fucking cant stand the pain, it feels like a fucking javelin through my chest, i gave her a second chance and all she did was break my heart again...

listen to this song. its sad as fuck. it will make you feel worse and better at the same time.

then know it was better to feel than to never have felt at all. grieve properly. but dont forget that you have so much life ahead of you and you WILL feel again.

observe your bad feels, then ignore them and put them aside. You do not have to be controlled by your emotions this easily.

>at a club
>know my qt crush will be there

It sucks, alright?

>>36460788
I'm 20 and haven't been clubbing, haven't had sex, nor have I got seriously drunk or high.

>>36460815

dont worry better things in life friend

>get friends with interest in art
>go out to venues that suit you better
what's the problem

>>36460842
that's what I figured. I just am not into those things, and if I were, I wouldn't have the record/digital music collection I have today. I just feel 20 years older than I really am and I'm not sure how healthy that is. Hell even my mom drunk texts me sometimes, joking about how harder they party than I do.

>>36460861
>get friends
That's the problem

>>36460842
I don't think this is a good way of looking at it

>>36460878

ya i understand that but i wouldnt fill that void of emptiness with partying and sex, while it can be fun and all its not the healthiest lifestyle.

>>36460934
true. I guess I'll just be living a different life than most people do.

>want to go to a proper club with actual dance music
>all my mates just want to go to generic top40 club #435

>>36460861
This is exactly what I did when I finished high-school. Now have a rich social life where I have friends to frequently attend art-exhibits and musical gigs with.

>>36461038
How did you find these people?

>>36460970
But anon, today's Top 40 is dance music.

>>36461061
You know what I mean

>>36460815
you should try it. really let yourself go for a night

>>36461057
Just talked to alternatively dressed people at local birthday parties toward the end of high-school, proved my credibilty as a sophisticated individual, started hanging out with them irl.

>>36461077
I don't know if I could really do it. I don't think I'm super uptight, but that's something way out of my nature and it makes me uncomfortable I guess. I don't even know how I'd explain it to a girl that I'm a virgin, I don't carry condoms, I know none of the social protocol. I'm a really laid back person and I go to semi-large house parties too and blend in pretty well, I just never take it further than a certain point ever.

>>36460815
I just went clubbing for the first time, Though I've gotten hammered and gertzed a number of times, I feel ya. There's stuff out there your peers indulge in, and you feel that you'd better fit in if you indulged, but it doesn't fit your personal code. I know that feeling, brother.

>>36460970
This is me every weekend for the last 2 or 3 years.
It's a shame that none of my new friends like drum and bass.
Back in the day I used to go to dnb clubs all the time :(

You guys are the biggest damn pansies I've ever seen. No hope for anyone in this thread. fucking autists

>swear words in the song were cut-out
>mfw I had no face

>>36461113
I don't think it's because it doesn't fit his "code", it seems more to me that he just doesn't have friends to go clubbing with in the first place

>met a man

>>36461144
You get used to it after a while. I pretty much know all the shite songs now but the only way I can actually survive is by getting blackout drunk.

>you will never own a heaven/hell themed nightclub that alternates between ambient/dream pop and noise/no wave

>>36461151
Why do I bother living when stuff like this is happening?

>tfw your friend made a vaguely suicidal post on Facebook this afternoon
>tfw he's tried doing it before, just never succeeded
>tfw you've tried calling him multiple times and it's not being picked up

>tfw he moved to the other side of the country so you can't do anything either way.

Does anyone have any music for this feel?

>>36461145
well i go to school in chicago so we don't club really, it's just house parties. I have friends that invite me to the stuff and I usually go and all, I'm just a reserved individual I suppose. Is the aim of parties and such to get laid? I can't tell if I should be taking queues when I'm talking to girls or if I can just relax and get to know them better/chat because that's what I just do naturally is chat with people.

>>36461207
Nah, you've got a great attitude about interacting with people/

>>36461207
The aim of a party is to just do whatever you want, have a fun time, enjoy yourself, enjoy the music and chat to people, the list goes on. Whatever you want it to be

Yeah just chat with a girl if that's all you want. If the girl is really horny they might start making some obvious moves in which case you can go from there or tell them you're not interested if you aren't. But it's not a requirement to hook up with any girl... You can chat and meet girls without trying to get laid, yeah

>>36461203
either songs about leaving or deathconsciousness, I guess

>>36460471
>starting a relationship based on music will only ruin it.
oh lord, I used to think 'yeah bullshit mate' but I cannot agree more. Please heed this warning.

>>36461238
Thanks anon, deathconsciousness it is

>>36461144

>>36461241
But people who like similar music to me, or otherwise "alternative" music, tend to have personalities I like better.

What if I just use music as a litmus test of sorts?

>>36461207
Never try too hard man. But at least try to step out of your comfort zone and practice/raise your confidence while you're still in high-school. It can get harder and messy in adulthood.

>>36461261
Who gives a shit... it's fun right

>>36461242
>choosing ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS and bland shoegaze over delicious strings and the most feelsy music ever written
Shit, man.

>>36461277
>What if I just use music as a litmus test of sorts?
you'll be wrong
believe me, whatever you think you know about people or relationships, you cant assign logical tests to that stuff. it just doesnt work like that

>>36461288
sure, but round about now I'm going maybe twice a week around uni. And my tolerance to drugs is amazing, and I'm getting fairly dependent on them

>>36461309
oh well... take a couple weeks off and do something else :)

>she contacts you online, specifically because she likes your taste in music
>it expands into movies, literature etc
>this goes on for six months
>you finally meet up
>she realises you were just a boring faggot and forgets about you at the drop of a hat

I played it as skeptical as possible. Her fascination with me was unmistakeable but she changed her fucking mind just like fucking that.
Fuck hot, crazy bitches. Ruined decent looking girls for me, at least for the time being. How can I settle for less when I came so fucking close?

>>36461284
im a college sophomore so things may start to look dire. I get what you're saying though.

>>36461226
>>36461237
thanks for the encouragement, anons. Sometimes you doubt yourself, you know.

>>36461297
t-thanks y-you too

But no, I listened to SAL yesterday

>>36461320
>Sometimes you doubt yourself, you know.
I know the feel man.
The thing about girls (and really any social interaction for that matter) is that confidence is the most important thing. It really is. Just go with what you want or believe, and be confident about it, people will respect you. Feels goodman

>>36461277
'interesting' girls are fucking crazy, based on my experience.

>>36461354
>mfw crazy girls

>>36461317
exactly what I'm doing but I already want to go back...
hahah fuck drugs, might as well use the time to compose some more music

>qt in college (year above me)
>never make an effort to talk to her (would have no idea how)
>find out she has a boyfriend
>think about her constantly
>just finished for college this year
>tfw she'll be off in uni or wherever in september
>tfw just saw the last I'll ever see of her again
>tfw just gotten home and depressed as fuck
Don't even know if I could have changed this.

>>36461111

None of it happens like in the movies.... getting high, getting laid, etc. You have to dispel the myth that it's something epic. It's not. You've probably actually had opportunities that you simply overlooked.

I lost my virginity at age 20 and it was NBD. We were both noobs, so no judgement either way. It was a girl I'd been acquaintances with for years... I sort-of knew she had a thing for me, but pushed it to the back of my mind... at the time I preferred to lust over some unrealistic crushes. Finally I realized how ridiculous I was and I called her up. I was shocked at how easygoing it was. We've been dating for a year now.

>>36461318
just go for nice hot girls regardless whether they share most of your interests or not.

>>36461368
damn. Well I'll keep that in mind, hopefully my intuition is good enough to act on those feelings when I know it's time.

>>36461361
not hot crazy, like shaving head and deleting facebook crazy
