father and daughter she'd grown up and moved away to college; haven't seen each other for a while he tries to evoke a moment of remembered closeness by putting sauce on her nose she bites his finger off and turns into a werewolf they giggle and go back into the ketchup bottle, where they live happily ever after the waitress eats the chocolate

What should i do? Posted: 11/19/2009 2:16:01 PM
be honest - tell her how you're feeling, ask her what she'd like to do

Love and being in love Posted: 11/19/2009 2:14:14 PM
loving someone without being 'in love' could just as easily relate to a friend or sibling... to me it bespeaks lack of passion and desire, lack of romantic feeling and i think that's what she's saying perhaps she does love you, but not as a boyfriend, imo

honest answer... Posted: 11/18/2009 6:23:43 PM
unless he's straightforwardly told you that he loves you and loves you exclusively, then what you're saying about 'presuming' is correct - you're assuming something that you do not know for sure if you want a commitment from him, then ask for it - ask him how he feels have an honest and open conversation and set things out it sounds like you've been together long enough to make that viable

What is sexy about FAT??? Posted: 11/4/2009 6:02:57 PM
i do like different body shapes and sizes in a man, it's really about his level of confidence and sense of humour...and that 'twinkle' in his eye...which overshadows size with a larger framed man i find that i can feel more protected and looked after... plus, it's nice to feel smaller for a change ;) being a larger woman my hope is that a man wouldn't want to be with me BECause of my size, but rather he likes my body/finds it attractive because he likes me/finds who i am attractive...external appearance can change so drastically over time, with the simple fact of passing of years, let alone the changes varying diet and exercise can make

Why do men insist on seeing you before getting to no you? Posted: 10/31/2009 7:50:34 AM
i prefer to meet more quickly than not - reveals whether or not there really is attraction and similar interests/outlook staying on-line too long can lead to creating a fantasy person and end with disappointment

Kissing cheating? Posted: 10/27/2009 12:22:54 PM
is it something that would hurt the person they're with? something they're hiding because they know that level of involvement with another person would make their SO upset? if so, then yes, it's cheating

what does it say when your boyfriend won't move to be with you? Posted: 10/27/2009 7:59:54 AM
i think that you're expecting something from him that you\re not willing to give yourself - compromise asking someone to give up everything to be with you is a huge demand - being told to choose one person over family/friends/life and all things he's accustomed to, it sounds very selfish, really i left everything, including country, to be with my ex and i wish i hadn't - being far away from family when there's illness or death is a very difficult thing - not being able to be there when you're needed is beyond tough i'd suggest making a list with him of pro's and con's about moving - being open minded about suggestions and really hearing the other person's concerns, before decreeing that there's not enough love involved

what do men consider overweight? Posted: 10/25/2009 2:09:37 PM
from browsing some of these posts i'd say that what men consider as 'overweight' has less to do with bmi and recommended dr's weight, and more to do with personal preference - what's overweight/underweight to one, might be just what another is looking for because it is so subjective, i'd advise being comfortable in your own skin or work to get that way, so you're happy with how you look or how fit you are... make that the priority rather than trying to match any supposed 'men's ideal', because there doesn't appear to be just one

mirror vs camera Posted: 10/25/2009 1:06:39 PM
i'm not sure which is the most 'real'... they both have con's... the thing with the mirror is, when we look into it, we can pose and see ourselves in the best possible lighting and position and usually only from the front... we also see ourselves with the knowledge of who we are - which colours our viewpoint, i think... so it's really kinda impossible to know for sure how others see us... when we're having our photo taken it can show us in more 'natural' situations, especially when we're unaware of the pic being taken at the time... however, it can also be a false representation of what we look like because it only represents one moment in time and may be 'out of context' - making us look weirder than usual, in one way or another; our mouth wide open, or a sneeze, or closed eyes, bad angle etc... maybe a video is the only real representation of what we look like... but then, i have heard that the camera (moving) adds 10lbs, so who knows i just gotta hope that someone likes what they see, whatever that is :)

Been there done that, what advice to you give to someone getting married? Posted: 10/25/2009 12:59:35 PM
same thing i tell my kids - make sure you really LIKE the person - who they are; their attitude, their beliefs, etc - for who they are Now, not who you hope they might be or will be after you've 'loved' them enough... and only be with someone with whom you feel LIKED by - for who you are - someone you are totally comfortable being yourself around - warts n' all they should be a good friend - kind and honest, including respecting and supporting one another's decisions and choices when possible and allowing them to be and grow as they need.. and someone with whom you can share conversation and laughter... love is important, but liking is equally if not more, so

What is your Regular Bedtime? Posted: 10/25/2009 12:45:50 PM
i start work at 5.15am Mon - Fri. so try to get to bed as early as possible week nights, which usually means between 9.30 and 10... if i'm not working on the weekend then i'll stay up later on fri and sat hours depending on what i'm doing... however, with my body so accustomed to waking up early, i find that i tend to continue to automatically waken before the sun, even when it's not required... which can be a bit frustrating, so i'll just lie there telling myself i'm Not allowed to get up yet! lol

Silver haired dancing machines your thoughts. Posted: 10/25/2009 12:38:47 PM
i love dancing, but ballroom's supposed to be a joint affair with Two people dancing, not one dancing and the other trailing behind (or being pushed in front...) any activity where one person is uncomfortable would probably not be the best for a date... and doesn't speak much of respect toward that other person, to insist on continuing it, once the discomfort is known, imo

Why are older women not into younger guys??? Posted: 10/11/2009 9:42:44 AM
for myself, if the guy is around the age of my children (or father) i'd find that very offputting in terms of thinking of a romantic relationship...within 10 years either way (older or younger) seems to be something i'm most comfortable with - but there's gotta be a whole lot more than a mere 'age-connection'... and that's not necessarily dependent on age at all...

How does one define what is a recent photo? Posted: 10/11/2009 9:25:38 AM
i'd say that a recent photo is one taken within the year, unless something has occured to drastically alter their appearance. the thing is, photos can be misleading anyway, no matter how honestly 'recent' they may be - lighting, angles, etc. a better way to get a more 'real' physical picture of them would be to see them online via webcam... but even that can be 'staged' meeting face-to-face is really the only 'for sure' way of knowing ...it may be that her reluctance to send you more recent pics is to do with her desire to hide something...but it may also be because she is often judged by her physical desirable attributes and wishes you to focus on something else... you'll only know for sure when/if you meet her

my older brother is a professional photographer and offers 'trash your dress' options for the wedding packages that he books... apparently it's popular amongst some couples for after the ceremony, maybe it's saying that they won't need that dress again because this marriage is forever... maybe... :)

does a hug mean she's not really attracted Posted: 9/18/2009 1:57:20 AM
..if she meets up with you a second time, then she's interested, or at least, interested in seeing if she's interested :) a hug can mean many things, i'd go by her rate of response to you to gauge her interest, more than by the hug

A Question About 2 Situations - 1 Conclusion Posted: 9/18/2009 1:49:53 AM
i would think he's just being friendly... if i'm in a chatty mood then that's the sort of thing i'd do, too; recommend a movie if i really liked it ...but then again, it usually takes him asking me out for a coffee before i realize he's interested that way subtle hints are too easily misunderstood and confused, i much prefer the straightforward approach (even though i don't always do that myself )

Loosing the guy over nagging YIKES is this possible?? Posted: 9/17/2009 2:07:12 AM
try just asking one question at a time when you're talking with him... it can feel like nagging if you immediately follow up a question with another one why not just ask him what he's going to be doing that night and then when he gets back casually ask if he had a good time - you'll get the same information and he won't feel overwhelmed by your 'needing to know' good luck

Why Do We Turn To Internet Dating?? Posted: 9/17/2009 2:03:05 AM
with children and work, i don't have time to get out on a casual basis much, thus reducing my chances of actually meeting anyone let alone the one :) logging on to the computer occasionally in those odd free moments provides another outlet for human interaction and yep, a chance that eyes might meet across a pixelated screen and an instant cyber-crush occur there's no commitment of time or energy when browsing; can come and go as i need to

Why are women over 40 so desperate to get married? Posted: 9/13/2009 6:50:55 PM
well, like you said, you can't paint (or tar ;)) us all with the same brush... maybe some women are 'desperate' to get married because they feel life's clock ticking away but maybe some women feel as though that clock could slooooow agonizingly if that ring was wrapped around their finger personally, i'm not sure that i want to get married again and i'm certainly not in any rush to find out :)

The Night that Didn't End so Well. Posted: 9/9/2009 4:10:47 PM
she didn't particularly like spending time with you or consider you a romantic interest... it wasn't just the end that wasn't good, from what you've written, she was bored the whole time and was rude in the way she showed it good for you in trying to make something good come out of it, but in actuality if someone is going to be disrespectful and rude to you, it's probably better to just call it an early night right then - if you don't stand up for yourself and consider yourself worthy of better treatment, then how will anyone else consider you that way?

Intimate Connections Posted: 9/9/2009 3:57:07 PM
if it's true agoraphobia a professional might be needed to help you conquer your fear if it's a general unease and awkwardness about going out alone, maybe take 'baby-steps' - start with a short walk by yourself, listen to music as you do so to take your mind off the fact you're out alone... when going out to eat take a book, you can 'lose' yourself in it, whilst still getting acclimatized to being in an eatery without someone else when going to a movie, try a matinee rather than a night-time typical 'date' hour one, at first the more you do things by yourself, the easier you'll find it and you might even get to know some of the people who work there, who can then greet you by name, making it easier to feel welcomed and at ease... best of luck

Approaching women in bars Posted: 9/9/2009 3:46:18 PM
trying a 'hi' and a smile is the best 'pick up' line, i'd think it allows them to 'hi' and smile back and thus encourage further discourse... or discourage it, with little energy expended on either part :)

if you're split and she's said she doesnt' want to get back with you (you did ask her to, right?) then you have to move on cut off contact with her - it sounds as though she's keeping you dangling (if she's not wanting to get back with you - see above*) and that's unfair to you as it makes it harder to forget her

Struggling with a conversation about children / abortion... Posted: 9/9/2009 1:32:05 PM
it sounds to me as though you've taken his desire not to have children with you as a rejection, even though logically it has nothing to do with you personally if you'd be willing to have his children, then perhaps you feel as though he doesn't care as much for you as you do for him... emotions are rarely logical, unfortunately talk with him about it, let him know how you're feeling... i think there's more than just the 'children' issues that are causing this vulnerable/uneasy feeling you're describing best of luck
