Oh sorry, another thing:

What if things start going really well with two girls and I end needing to pick one because I'm not a player or a Mormon that practices polygamy? Pick the one with the most pros and the least cons & tell the other one she didn't make the cut (in a nice way)?

If you do end it with one, do it on good terms.  There's really nothing more useful in this world than having a booty call in your back pocket at your disposal.

You pick the one that you have a better 'gut feeling' about, tell the other one that you met someone else, then 6 months later when things don't work out with the one you chose, bang your head against a wall. Happened multiple times to me  :-\

You become exclusive when you want to really. If no one brings it up then they probably don't want to stop meeting other people yet. I would personally want romantic/sexual exclusivity but hey Yolo.

I think you do need to say that stuff or else no one would risk the grueling emotional slog that is dating, but I would tell female friends they're cute platonically all the time because I didn't want to look desperate. :yeshrug

It could be the first thing you say to her on the next date: "you always look cute (in pics/dates)" or say something about whatever physical feature of hers you're into. Keep your compliments above the neck. Like high cheekbones or hair or whatever.

Sorry, another silly question:

When girl #2 and I meet up (before walking to the restaurant) would it be okay to say: "you can totally be yourself around me. I want you to have a good time." or something along those lines to set the mood?

Judging from her pics and our text convos she seems like she has a sense of humor and is a fun loving type and I don't want to squelch that with my sometimes stiff demeanor. (Also, I will be drinking some wine or something during this dinner date ...thank god.) :doge

No, don't say that. She doesn't need your permission to act like herself and she assumes you want her to have a good time. You'd be setting a mood for sure but not the one you intend.

Dude. Nothing says "don't be at ease" more than someone saying "be at ease".
This is why you must master the art of the conversation padawan.
You must learn that communication is reciprocal. You want someone to be themselves and at ease? Then they must see you as being at ease and yourself. Be the person you want the other person you're conversing with to be and they will move that way in kind.

-Don't feel like you need to constantly be talking and keeping a convo going.
-Don't just play 21 questions with them. It's a first date not the Spanish Inquisition.
-No talk about religion. Politics I'd play it safe with too but it depends on the person. Some girls love political discussion, and I was surprised that when I went out with a girl who turned out to be a hardcore conservative, she called me wanting to go out again.
-It's kind of a PUA thing but "venue switching" isn't a bad idea. After dinner, if things go well, ask her if she wants to continue the convo at a bar or maybe do a round of minigolf or bowling. But some people take this to the extreme and have 'marathon dates', don't do that.

I tried not to bring up religion during my last date but my past is so entrenched in it it's kinda hard not to bring it up.

I guess I just won't bring up BJU and Southside Christian unless I'm directly asked.  :-\

Venue switching is kind of a good idea since you're going to dinner, have a secondary place to go in mind at least

In my opinion no topic is really taboo if it's about who you are or your past, just avoid making rude/strong denouncements. It's okay to have views.

I like the idea of venue switching.

Heck, I guess we're technically doing that because first we are going to meet at an entrance of a park near a coffee/ice cream place (don't worry, it's well lit and there's usually a lot people in that spot), then we will walk to the restaurant, and then I guess if it seems like things are going well I'll suggest we walk to a nearby bar to continue our conversation.

Solid date plan. Here's some special fellow to special fellow advice -- if the plan changes go with it and let it go. It's more important to connect with the person you're on a date with than that you follow the plan you had for your date.

Don't make everything she says about yourself but try to relate in some way in order to extend conversations. If she says she likes to read ask what are her favorite books, if you've read one of them talk about it, mention your own favorite books etc.

Be polite. If you go out to eat be nice to the waiter, tip, etc. This seems small but still. You seem like a decent dude so I'm sure you'll do that stuff perfectly. Also if you want to hold doors open for her, just do it. Don't be like "I uh didnt know if you wanted me to get the door, ya know...2016 and all." I'm serious, I've seen people do this.

For several weeks now I've been eating basically nothing but sardines and green leafy vegetables. And drinking mostly black coffee and water.

My heaviest I've ever been was around 250 lbs back in 2011 (the summer after getting kicked from BJU)

I was around 225 lbs at the beginning of this year. Now I'm down to 190 lbs.

Also, is this just me or do other people tend to look fatter when you're in the process of losing weight? :doge

Pallando, have you considered joining an online group for ex-BJU type people? I know for mormons it's pretty easy to find a group of fellow people that have left the church. If there is, you might want to check it out. It might be good for you to see if there is. Then you wouldn't have to worry so much about the women thinking you're weird about religion, because they're going through it too. I know first hand, religion can do quite a number on you.

Maybe there is but that's the thing, I really wasn't a "Joneser" to begin with. I was a conservative leaning more moderate nondenominational Protestant Christian that came from a fairly conservative school (SCS) but it wasn't some crazy fundamentalist southern baptist hell hole like BJU.

The only real reason why I ended up at BJU was because I was too apathetic/burnt out/lazy/easily led to research colleges that had good graphic design programs and my parents kept on goading me into it because they didn't think it would be too different from SCS plus I would be living from home. But it was very different...

For example, at SCS we only had chapel service once a week and they were about 30 to 45 minutes long. Also, we sang contemporary Christian music during those services and we sometimes had interesting & thought provoking speakers.

At BJU we had chapel every week day that lasted an hour and it was right before lunch... And we had to sing old and stale hymns from a bygone era and listen to crotchety old men or fiery young preachers drone on about nonsense.

And that's not really the "worst" example but it's the one that comes to mind this late at night.
