Whenever I see some bitch with a septum ring I just want to grab it, jerk it around a bit then tell her that if she doesn't suck my dick I'm going to rip it off along with a chunk of her nose

Those eyes give away her evilness. She's placated by whoring and politics

Has anyone ever had a discussion about books with a girl (female) which went beyond asinine superficial explanatory evaluation of how it made them feel?

What are some books to read to impress girls like this?

Does it count if she was my literature teacher? She wasn't old, though. She was in her twenties. I would often discuss interpretations with her, comment on the prose, and she would always recommend me where to go next. I owe her for getting me to read the Iliad, too.

I look behind me, to see if she is speaking to someone else. After I see that she is speaking to me, I reprimand her for being so forward and call her a "slut" for initiating a conversation with a complete stranger. I then begin to walk away and just before I leave her sight, I look back to her, with contemptuous eyes, and tell her "you're lucky I don't tell your father what you're getting up to".

wake up, something like that would never happen to me in real life

i pretend not to hear while my face becomes uncomfortably warm then i take my phone out and act as though an emergency has been brought to my attention and pretend to leave the store but really i just hide in a different section where she finds me again. i grab a random book from the shelf exclaiming "ah ha!" and jog to the cashier where i deposit the book before leaving the store.

Just one. She's the pastor's daughter at my church.

Yes. There is an extremely rare kind of woman transcends most women and men alike. I must say I'm not easily impressed, but by her I was confounded.

>>15250146
>sharing her book interests is enough to gain her attention
Can you expect any fidelity from such a woman? Go on a date, fall in love, and next week she'll invite another male for, ahem, coffee, because he wears a shirt with a band she likes. People who define themselves by the things the consume cannot be trusted.

>>15251866
At this point you must be trolling or I suggest you get some glasses.
The main source of light comes from her right side. If there was no ring, just a regular nose, her left nostril should be in shadows, same color of the left side of her nose bridge. But no, there's clearly a bright semi circle, an outline, only at her nostril.
It's a nose ring. Metal catches the light. Its lit up more than the skin. That's the brighter outline.

My heart aches thinking about her saying the word trains... sometimes that memory comes to me in those dark hours and I feel adrift in a world without affection or excitement. It was a beautiful experience nonetheless.

Some people are not built for love. Some are unable to gaze at the beauty of others and quickly make them ugly
only able to stomach fleeting glimpses of another person before moving on, others cannot bear the pain and vulnerability love can bring and begin hating before giving anyone another chance. Love is something that takes hard determination, so this is unsurprising.

I've never been randomly approached and propositioned for coffee but I have had reasonably pleasant conversations with women. I immediately repel them with my autism but they at least initiated. In my experience women won't say "let's get coffee," they'll imply increasingly strenuously that you ought to suggest coffee. I have done so a few times, but either I repel them with my autism on the outing itself, or we never follow up.

I had such a discussion with a long-haired guy if that counts

I never had any of these quaint serendipities happen, romantic or platonic. It is my hypothesis that living in urban areas or around people makes people believe in God more because of these chance occurrences which people ascribe to destiny. Meeting people, getting jobs, having opportunities present themselves are merely a matter of being at the right place and right time. All my romantic overtures or even beginnings at friendship were planned and have an element of being false, superficial and plastic. If you live alone and are in a rural area, you'll agree with these sentiments and hold all social, romantic, career and financial matter as you would a lottery drawing.

Someone tell me fucking how

>>15256489
So how I've been told it works is that you just sit down and study and you, naturally, get to talking to other people.
In my first semester I was told by a senior student that that is how it works and that I should do it, I also have overheard people in class talk about that this was how they initially met and became acquainted.
I never went to the library or experienced anything like this myself
But, one time, when I went to study to a different secluded part of the university, going day by day about the same time I started to see the same people and we started saying hello, or asking for help with small things like "which number printer is that? i am trying to print something and don't want to send it to the wrong building."
Maybe that's how it starts?

>>15255889
be patient, dawg. if someone's comfortable with you that's worth preserving. also there's a rap song about that called a history of modern dance.

Do women like when you give them a flower or is this "rape?" How can I tell a woman that I would enjoy her company?

flowers might seem strange as an initial proposal, according to my instinct
usually people say to talk and then ask for coffee, where you talk more (see op's image for a simplified example, but usually the man asks)
the trouble is i don't know what to talk about, or how to, so i can't really help you

>>15256577
You could also try taking some beginner's language course if your uni has anything like that
More of a high school atmosphere where you see each other once a week
I can think of another example where saying hello regularly and asking some question led into small talk for me, still ongoing even
But ultimately I have only ever made acquaintances, not friends

>>15256563
a flower would be really sweet—another anon was saying it is strange (>>15256648) and i guess he could be right in some scenarios but that’s all according to preference. if she likes plants that is a really good opening, and even if she’s not a plant fanatic, most women can appreciate the beauty of a flower. it’s not a gesture one is on the receiving end of very often and it will probably stick around in her mind. it’s refreshing and unique and innocent. i hope your flower finds a home on her countertop, anon.

>>15256695
i agree that it's romantic and i wish anon all the best as well
as i said it was just my first instinct, i would have thought of a flower would be more something for when you already did the coffee thing, but i am really not an expert at all
it probably all depends on how much you know her and the personality of the individual girl

The hormones that your body naturally produce go off on fucking riot in a good way when you have intimacy with someone. For the majority of the population, the biochemical reward system gets kicked off when having a personal connection with someone of the opposite sex. 4chan's demographic is skewed towards men, so those individuals like the women folk.

>tfw i saw a girl reading Spengler once
Looked a bit like the girl on the right here. Dutch as well, i assume.

That's probably the closest ive ever gotten to seeing a /lit/ girl IRL. Everything else ive ever discussed was just pop sci and pop fantasy shit. I know one girl who's borderline and into actual cuckolding and she's doing a PhD in philosophy. Her favorite books are unironically Harry Potter

>>15256722
you’re right—i think a lot of people may be caught off guard by that level of romantic sincerity, but it is really nice to imagine someone preparing for a date or a conversation by selecting a flower lovely enough to be commensurate with his appreciation for the girl. if she’s into like, nice and genuine things and has a sliver of something real about her rather than like, instagram popularity contest brain-rot throughout she’ll probably really like it, although even an instagram thot might be taken aback in a good way by an interaction this sweet idk. i’d definitely say just suggesting coffee is more cautious though, and many women are comfortable with quick coffee dates! maybe...bringing a flower to a coffee date would be cute? i just REALLY want this woman to get a flower.

>>15250146
Sure, I'd love to.

>>15256542
Fair enough. Most guys at church pursue her relentlessly so she ends rejecting them outright. The funniest example I can remember was when one guy was following her and speaking via a monologue and when I walked in the opposite direction she turned and started talking to me.
Her father likes me a lot and told me to "keep hanging out with his daughters" which I think means he sees me as a potential suitor of sorts.

>>15256730
I can try to explain the desire for a gf
It's essentially the dream of being rescued, normalized, granted self confidence and given access to the social network of normal people friend groups by someone who genuinely likes you despite your failings, I think.
Also being loved by a human being that is not "required" to like a parent
That is the short and direct version

tfw got friendly with some people, girl in the group is nice and pretty smart so I enjoy speaking to her a lot, then a guy in the group calls me out as being thirsty or w/e even though I just enjoy her company, group laughs, I flee to collect thoughts
>someone who genuinely likes you despite your failings
This one is a biggun, especially as a lot of my flaws are hidden for a while - self-conscious/insecurity, periods of depressive outlook/anger, hesitant to try new things, arrogant within certain topics
While these are things 'to work on' it would be nice reassurance that these things are ok as and when they happen, instead of after the fact in a generic card-message manner

If someone said that and everyone laughed, it was meant as a joke or at least seen by them as so. By running away you showed them that you took it seriously. You should've just smiled and said that you enjoy her company. It's ok, literally everyone has made blunders like this and it's nothing to gloat on.

>>15256898
I feels like a retard though. I can't drive due to OCD. She's also an adult that doesn't drive (potentially due to obsessive tendencies that I've noticed). I don't know how to take her on a date without coming off as immature. I'm doing my best to learn because I care for her, but each time I drive it's so draining on my mind.

>>15257024
I know that now, but it caught me very off guard at the time, especially as we hadn't splintered off into smaller groups at any point that day. It hit close as well seeing as I hadn't had any (non-work)female friends for 3-4 years, and didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

Believe it or not, many people who do volunteer work and actively work to help others are often in good moods even if they're single. Incidentally, that's why many of such people are a pleasure to be around. Oh and before you ask, that's a different personality from the "fixer" type mentality where you're constantly searching for personal and social problems to resolve.

What, she wanted to be cucked or she wanted to cuck your friend? I'm confused.

>>15257296
She wanted to cuck him. He didnt want that, so they broke up.

>>15257279
I thought that it looked bad.

>>15257309
Oh, well do you think she cares a lot about you driving her places? Because if she doesn't you should just get an Uber, you can still practice driving every now and then but don't put what could be a good relationship on the back-burner over it.

>>15257359
I don't think she does, since her older brother(s) all started driving later than I did.

>>15250146
I push her to the ground and crush her skull under my boot
Dumb whore

>>15257370
Alright, seems like you're just overthinking this whole driving thing then. Get an Uber and just try to learn how to drive outside of your dates with her.

Any ideas on how to become autistic enough to not desire women?
