Search Results: dreams that feel real

I tried to get into grad school twice and worked my butt off for professors as a unpaid assistant for 1-2 years. Still I got rejected twice and one of the recommendation letters I read afterward was extremely lukewarm about me.

Now that it's 6 years later I have my dream job and no longer dream about PhD. I think back on those incidents and think about unhelpful professors are to life in general. They take so much of your money and time and don't sympathize with you at all. As a group they are so desensitized from real life! They don't seem to care that the majority of us students have to worry about making money and getting our lives along at a decent timeline!

I also had another professor that wouldn't shut up about how he thought about Trump even though the class was on microbiology! Why do professors think we care about their political opinion?

So me and this girl met through a mutual friend a few months back, however it's only in the last 3 weeks or so where we've been spending time in each other's company consistently.

At first, I thought nothing of any potential interest. She was polite to me, nice and welcoming, but that's all I really took on board. We'd see each other around other friends maybe once every week or two, and that was about it.

A few weeks back, however, she strongly complimented my voice after I was joking about my accent, saying it was "beautiful", made her melt, and that she "fell in love" with my voice the first time we talked to each other.
Since then we've been hanging out more consistently, albeit always with our mutual friend, mostly while we play video games with each other (in real life and online). Me and her have been getting on well in that time, a lot of laughing and joking, with little jokes too about sharing a jacuzzi, and her having a dream about us calling each other one time. We also match skins and dances in the game which our mutual friend noticed.

Aside from that, there hasn't exactly been overt flirting, but my mutual friend actually got jealous at one point a week ago. He also said that "X is really getting to like you a lot. She starting to feel more confident joking around with you", which got me wondering if she is just shy and there could be some potential interest there still. Yesterday, a friend of hers heard my voice over a party chat. The girl said that her friend said "he has a very beautiful voice so is probably very handsome" to which she said she replied "yes he is", so now I know that she thinks I'm physically attractive too.

All of this means that I would directly ask her myself, but the jealousy from my friend made me not want to risk something if I'm not sure about the interest. Do you think she could like me, or is it likely just friendly stuff?

I am 27 and never had a real girlfriend.

I am in deep depression. I had to go to the hospital 2 nights ago. I was handcuffed and taken to the hospital by the sheriff's department. I was in bad shape.

Back in 2020, I had an online thing with this girl. She was exactly what I was looking for. She never had a male friend before she met me, and she never dated ot had a boyfriend. She never kissed and was still a virgin. Things were going well for several months until we met the first time in person. She rejected me because I wasn't her type.

Now, she is about to marry some other guy soon, and he gets to be her first everything. I am almost sick to my stomach thinking about it. It is extremely heartbreaking to me.

The thing is, I want to find another girl just like her. I don't know if that was my one and only chance. I feel like dating 18 year olds is about to become off limits to me. I am getting really scared. I cannot even sleep in peace at night, because I dream about her still.
