  • Mark Manson, know for The subtle art of not giving a fuck, started out as a dating coach, giving healthy and mature advice in a time when pickup artists were all the rage. His book Models helped me get my shit together in my early twenties.

    Edit: if you don’t want to read a whole books, his advice boils down to two points:

    • If you want to be liked, be likeable
    • Women are people, not objects

    Also, my general advice for men who don’t feel well mentally would be: find a sport which makes you stand in a field once a week, kick the shit out of (and get kicked by) some other guys and have a beer together afterwards. Contact sports stimulate your body really well, and a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. (In that regard, the first half of Fight Club should also be required reading/viewing.)




  • To add: you’re both very young and you both have a lot of personal stuff to deal with. Karl’s not going to be a perfect adult every time he expresses his emotions (or doesn’t when he should), and you probably won’t be either. That’s okay.

    Just be aware that if you want to be emotionally and romantically involved with each other, there will be some drama as well, and you need to decide for yourself whether you can deal with that. It’s perfectly fine to feel that this is too much for you right now and you need to keep some distance.

    You don’t have to talk to him about this if you don’t want to. Just be a friend and don’t be afraid to set boundaries.
