I've been wanting to learn to play drums, but I know next to nothing about it. What type/brand do you suggest I buy? Where should I buy it? How much does it cost? Is it possible to learn to play by yourself or should you get a private teacher? etc.

I'm a girl and I can't seem to talk to other girls. Why do they have to be so girly? D: Edit: This was supposed to go to the Social Problems section. Ah, well.

I went to Amazon.com today and impulsively bought the following: - The Art of Mingling: Proven Techniques for Mastering Any Room by Jeanne Martinet - Interpersonal Edge: Breakthrough Tools for Talking to Anyone, Anywhere, about Anything by Daneen Skube - How to Win Friends & Influence People by...

(Take heart. This will probably be my last thread in a while.) I'm currently in a really weird situation. I'm going to change a few details because I'm paranoid as always, but this is what basically happened: A long, long time ago, when I was young and stupid, I joined a forum for people who...

I'm just curious. Although I'm occasionally attracted to the opposite sex, romantic relationship has never really been on my priority list and I don't always understand the big deal of being ____ yrs old and having never dated/kissed/etc.

How do you ask someone you barely know to be one of your references? Like, seriously. I don't know anyone well enough and no one knows me well enough, so I'm thinking of contacting my professors from about a year ago who probably don't remember me all that well (if at all) - and these are the...

What are some ways to meet "young" people (aged 20-25, to be more specific) other than clubbing? I don't really drink, I can't/don't want to dance or do karaoke, and the one thing that comes to mind when people ask me when I like to do is "read." Yeah, I'm boring as hell.

What do people mean exactly when they're looking for someone with "excellent communication skills"?

How is it like? I normally go for fast-food restaurants or one of those unknown restaurants down the block because they seem less formal, less selective, and less intimidating, but I'm trying to do something different here. How's the interview like? What's the best way to apply? Do you need to...

For the longest time, I was convinced if I met someone who's as introverted as I am we'd be best buds and live happily ever after. Well, recently I met her. She's really quiet. Like, really quiet. I can tell that, like me, she wants to be BFF and live happily ever after, but we both are so quiet...

I don't usually chat, but we'll see.

A girl who isn't your type (and who you might be embarrassed to be seen with by your friends) is interested in being your friend. She may have had a crush on you at one point and that's why she noticed you of all people, but she's over it by now. How would you prefer for her to approach you...

How exactly do you "meet people" by joining clubs? My understanding is that everyone in the club already knows each other, and I find introducing myself to them intimidating for that reason.

I randomly did a Disk Cleanup on my laptop for my C drive, and now if I try to open it this message pops up: I tried restarting the laptop, and at the beginning this message pops up: Help?

1. How exactly should you tip your hairdresser? Is it supposed to be a hush-hush thing where you quietly slip the money into his/her hand or are you allowed to say "Here's your tip" out loud? I went to a beauty salon for the first time in years today and I wasn't sure how to do that, so I left...

I've been depressed for most of this year. I didn't use to want to take meds, but lately things are so bad I'm willing to compromise my principles. I have no idea how these things work, though. Where can I find a doctor who can prescribed me something? (I don't really go to doctors, so the...

[As promised]

Look, it's almost 2009. That only means I've been saying "this year will be different" for almost twelve years. I've been surprisingly optimistic all this time, but I don't seem to be making any progress and I'm really not getting any younger. **** it, I want my youth back.

My mom accidentally downloaded something into our computer, and now we're getting all these annoying pop-ups. In the past I would have run Spybot Search and Destroy, but somewhere down the road I may have accidentally deleted it. :club: Where can I download a (free) program to remove all...

Okay, so I'm as ugly on the inside as I am on the outside. That aside, can you honestly feel attracted to someone if he/she/it is so repulsive on the outside whilst having the heart of an angel? Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but obviously these people have only seen...
