Alex asked:

Now, I am a guy, so bear with me if she’s being obvious and I’m not picking up on it… I’m just a guy, after all. Haha, anyway…

First off, I go to a big college; it’s a huge three-part campus. A girl grabbed me by the arm about a month ago, saying she was in my class (which was canceled that day) and that we had another class together an hour later. Anyway, I thought she was just commenting on the fact that our class was canceled (silly me) when she asked if she could keep me company until class. I said yes, and then told her my plans, which were just heading over to the Student Union. I was just going to catch up on reading, but we ended up talking the full hour (about school, future plans, and our hometowns… oh, and of course our favorite show, Lost). We then walked to class together and sat down next to each other, and when class ended we said goodbye and nice to meet you.

Now we sit together in both classes and walk with each other from the one to the other. I always smile at her and vice versa when we talk, and she laughs a lot, even at times when I’m not making jokes or saying anything funny… not so much a laugh as maybe a giggle of sorts. She’s always really nice to me, and once when I passed her in the hall I didn’t see her. She lightly tapped me on the arm as I passed, and I looked back. She just kept walking, but I could tell it was her.

Anyway, I never study for classes (I’m one of those lucky people who can ace without really having to put much effort into it), but she had said she was nervous about the exam coming up. I asked if she’d study with me the day after. She said sorry, but she had to work until four, but I explained that I had classes until 3:30. Her eyes sort of lit up, and she asked if we could meet at half past four. I then suggested we meet near where we first talked, and we did. She apologized for being a minute or two late, but I said no biggie. Then I sort of led the way to where we would study (they ended up locking the building down next to us when we did), and we ended up staying for about an hour-and-a-half, studying and mixing in conversation as well. I guess the lockdown had my family worried, though, so they came and picked me up and I left even though we felt like studying some more. She then suggested she walk with me out to the parking lot, and she took the bus back over to the dorms.

Anyway… she’s asked me twice since then after our last class where I was going, and I told her I had to go home. The second time I told her this she said “Again?!”, and I asked where she was going. She goes to Starbucks every now and then, she said, and I’m pretty sure she wants me to accompany her one of these days.

Anyway, I’m asking her if she’d like to go with me tomorrow for sure, but I’m going to make sure it’s really casual. From everything I have said, does it seem like she likes me, and is there anything I should be watching for to better interpret whether or not she does?

Thanks for your help and bearing with me in advance. I wish I could give you each ten points for just reading this, but I’ll have to settle for giving ten to the best response. Thanks again.
Hahahaha, it’s not so much that I can’t see the signs as it is I have my doubts about them. But for all of you who have even made the effort to read it, thank you so much. Honestly, I’m amazed everyday to find that people are willing to put up with me.
SwissMiss: Yes, Starbucks, not home. That would be incredibly awkward, I agree. Haha, and there was an emergency right where I was on campus. It was all over the news, so naturally my family was nervous.

tacodinner asked:

Well, this post is about “failure to leave and cleave”.

Until six months ago I had no idea all the writing on this topic. The bible, a few books, and reading lots of internet posts later I kinda get it.

Here is the situation. First of all this has nothing to do with petty things like: dishes in the sink, who takes out the trash, who does the laundry, who cleans, who buys the grocery’s, who pays the bills, we have that all figured out “no problems”.

We have been married for five years and are in our late late thirties. The year we dated and the first two years of marriage were a cake walk. Candle light dinners and breakfast in bed almost every weekend.

The only time we fight is a about her family. I knew her for six months when she worked for her brother and frankly I would not entertain the thought of a serious relationship. She quit her job with her brother and co-managed a restaurant with her girl friend, that is when we started the relation ship.

Like I said above, the first three years were great. Then her older brother had some money embezzled from his business by the book keeper. First person he called was my wife, her brother wanted her to “just come around part time”. I vigorously opposed this BUT I told my wife that family is family and I would support her, but I was totally against her working for her brother.

Three years later my wife is the “go to” person for the company, now smokes a pack + a day and works more than forty hours a week. When her brother asked her to go from part time to full time I SAID NO WAY, NO HOW, NO NO NO.

My wife’s father died when she was 8, so her brother is kind of a father figure. My wife is still emotionally attached to her brother. She gets giddy like a school girl around him.

What is up with that? Why would a mature woman get giddy, and I mean giddy, around her brother.??????????????????????

When ever I bring up that it is not fair that the brother-in-laws wife is at home full time raising the kids and my wife is working full time against my wishes, my wife looses it she gets unstable and screams about how I should respect her brother, how great her brother is, how lucky I am to be part of her family, how good her brother is, and how this is so not all about me but how she has to be there for her brother and family. So I just drop it.

Again the only time we fight is about her family, when my wife and I have been with other couples I will comment “look how so&so does it, she puts her children and family first, in front of her parents and brothers. All I get is a blank stare from my wife.

Yes, counseling soon. But should I confront her brother? I know that he “pushes my wife’s buttons”. He did it to other people, I’ve seen the people and my wife even told me about it. But she can’t see how he does it to her(my wife).

My brother in law is a salesman type, he did “motivational” seminars and runs a pyramid/boiler room based sales company.

I’d like to confront him head on and call him out. I could let him have it with “both barrels”. I am a construction foreman and can make words cut like a razor blade. I have no problems taking on difficult people verbally and making small work of them. It’s just that I don’t want to go “nuclear”. The fall out from that could carry on for a few years.

Brother in law is a “one upper” type. Always the better car, better beer, better summer vacation……..To date I have been avoiding him, giving “non answers”, laughing off insults, and avoiding avoiding avoiding.

Now I have to make a move. Honestly I’d love to lay in to him good, I want to take him on soooo bad. But should I continue hold my mouth? This has been going on for years with no end insight. Should I just think of my wife’s feelings and start counseling and not say a word to B-I-L.

Please let me know what YOU think, what ever you write will make a difference, so thank you stranger for your insight and time……..

I just want this over with and move on. I want kids, wife at home, and work five days a week.

Hi i just have a few question from random ppl, i hope that is okay

btw i’m 19/m bi sexual, but i’m more into girls……
ppl think i’m gay becuz i’m really nice,soft and always smiling becuz i’m a happy person.

It all started on the 3rd week of the fall semester, when i was on the metro train around 7pm on my way home -my last class was body building- As i sat there gazing out on the street through the windows, one of my classmate from body building class was on his bike waving at me. I smiled and waved back. We never talked in class, the next day was always the same routine, i dont really talk a lot in my body building class i just mind my own business. theres times when me and the guy with the bike would look at each other and smile and turn away while working out becuz the machine or whatever are right across from each other. We did that the whole entire the fall semester until the last week of the class when he decided to finally talk to me and have a conversation, but the conversation was “Hey i’ve seen u on the train before, i can give you a lift” i was like nahhh its okay but he kept on insisting for about 3mins. until i finally reached to the locker room to change. The whole time i was thinking why did he wait until the last days of class; if we were friends yeah i would want you to bring me home. I thought he was very attractive, just right, not too muscular.

do u think he’s gay?
do u think he just wanted to bring me home so
i could return a favor like sucking his d!*k

what would have u done better?(optional)

i just had to let it out
And he looks and acts like a player!!

Chase asked:

Ok so im 15, and me and my dad have been running for a week and a half now. We run a mile every night, it usually ends up Between 10- 11 minutes long, I know it sucks. Well I went to Jump street (indoor trampoline park) last sunday, its Thursday now. After I was at Jump street for 3 hours, I left, went home and went to bed. I woke up the next morning with excruciating pain in my legs. The pain has gradually subsides over the last couple days to the point where it almost doesn’t hurt at all during the day, but when me and my dad run at night, my thighs and knees are in alot of pain. I can still run the mile, but it hurts like crazy afterward, like I go and limp to sit down. Granted im in horrible shape (im working on it), it shouldn’t hurt like this and it didn’t hurt before jump street. So my question is, when will my legs be better? And do you think I should buy a brace?

aegiajumma2 asked:

Two eighth grade girls get into a brawl over who knows what in front of their home during a holiday when parents are at work and school’s closed. Both got some minor bruises and scrapes. Some kids show up and capture the two minute rough wrestling match on video and upload to youtube. The so called friends are seen and heard encouraging the fight. Parents are furious at the school and when school opens two days later they start emailing the principal blaming the school for not having a safe environment for the younger kids at the school. Both parents are demanding suspensions of each others kids but policy won’t let school do that since it happened on non school grounds on non school day.

goldenphoenix_84 asked:

This is a bit long but please bare with me, id prefer to give as much detail as possible.

It started last month. My car was driving fine, no issues with engine, and no slips. I was leaving my house and got stuck in traffic. So i had my foot on the brake. As soon as traffic started to move I pushed on the gas and it seemed as if all pressure had been lost, as if it were in neutral. I gave it a bit more gas and it started to inch forward, so I tried putting it in D3 to see if by chance it would drive and no luck, it acted the same as D4. So I put it in 2nd and it started to drive as if it were in D4, it didnt sound as powerfully charged as it usually does if you put it in 2nd. I pulled over to the nearest gas station and put it in park. The father of my kids was with me and he hopped out to inspect under the hood if something seemed out of place cause we hit a bit of a dip on the rode before stopping in traffic. I noticed on the dashboard both D4 and park were highlighted and i could hear a clicking noise every so often coming from the gear switch which was in park. I got out to look and the father of my kids was on the floor looking under my car, and he said it was smoking a bit, and as i got down it was really light looking smoke as if a small bit of oil had leaked and it was burning off an area of the engine. The father of my kids hopped in the car and put it in reverse and it reversed fine just when it was in D4/D3 it would not drive but in 2nd of 1st it would pull. We took it straight back to my house and the next day he took a look at my spark plugs by chance and there was a finger smug of oil on two of them, and one didnt seem very snug, it seemed a bit loose then the other four but it didnt not have oil on it. So he cleaned them off and popped them back on and oddly when i turned it on to check everything had went back to normal. It drove as if no issues at all, pressure was normal and the D4 did not stay highlighted. Bad enough I havent had a chance to take the car to a mechanic i know but ever since that day no oil ever appeared back on my spark plugs but the father of my kids pointed out that maybe since the weather got colder the oil got thicker. Nothing has shown leakage on the driveway, we have been looking out for it encase and put a cardboard piece under the car to see if we can find evidence..
–Just today on my way to work, im on the highway and the speedometer just dies and D4 begins to flash which has never happened before. The engine makes no change it sounds the same and no slips. I pull off the highway and the only thing i could think was the spark plugs maybe. So I pull over and sure enough one has about a pinky finger smug of oil on it. I clean it off and hop back into my car. The speedometer is acting a bit odd still, it looks like it hops up to 20 and stops and it does this just three times before stopping completely. I get back on the highway cause im to far from home to turn back and borrow a vehicle and im closer to work. Half way the speedometer kicks back to life while i keep it steady around 65. It stays fine all the way to work but the D4 continues to flash.
I know the oil is an issue period, im going to get a hold of my mechanic which i only feel there is going to be more news i might not want to hear. I know most likely the rubber rings that are in the block around the sparks plugs to keep oil from getting in, needs to be changed along with the spark plugs,wires and oil. Father of my kids said the transmission filter probably needs to be changed along with the rubber gasket that goes around the engine block. (I dont entirely know all the names and terms just hope you get what im talking about)

Other then that I have never had any issues with my car before this, i always stayed on top of the regular tune ups, even did a few engine flushes and I rarely drove my car, only to work on the weekends, but im sure since it is old period it will have issues sooner or later. Everything else “seems” fine like the transmission fluid and the oil hasnt dropped any, ive been checking the stick to make sure.
If anyone has had any similar issues I would like to at least hear what you might of had. Im guessing its the transmission. I would like some sort of different ideas so id know whether to junk my car and get a another vehicle or pay to fix it cause I love that car to death but if its gonna coast me too much I might as well invest in another car.

Memories____ asked:

My whole family (1 grandma, 3 younger siblings & 1 alcoholic older brother) lives in my apartment in a third world country. We grew up as orphans, but our grandma raised us instead of sending us to an orphans’ place. We’re very lucky that we have wonderful grandmother. My brother is a horrible alcoholic and that nothing has to do with anyone/anything except his own bad decisions. Now our grandma is very old and has horrible skin cancer. Her skin cancer has been spreading all over her face really bad and I have been solely helping her financially for last two years. I have also been helping out my sisters for last 10 years financially (school tuition, food and you name it), since they have been in high schools and colleges. My sister are not lazy kids, in fact, they are very hard working kids, having part time job is not option to them. My husband & I have our own life, yes; bills/debts to pay just like anybody. But my husband always encouraged me to help out my sisters and grandma. My sisters take care of our old grandma very well and deal with all medical complications, surgeries, hospitals, doctors and also our alcoholic brother. Because of that, I felt guilty and was providing them for last 10 years. Well, we can’t send our grandma to a nursing home & our alcoholic brother to a jail. It just does not work in that way in that third world country. I literally don’t do and/or buy anything for me in order to help out to my poor family. But recently I discovered that they let someone (a very distant relative, whom I don’t know at all) stay in my apartment. The kid is from a rural part of the country, because she needs to go to a college and her mother is sick etc., The kid has aunts and uncles who have better lives than our people… why she didn’t stay with them. This kid apparently does not contribute for anything…lives & eats free. My skinny youngest sister cooks every night. What upsets me the most is my family has never told me and/or asked me about letting someone stay there free of charge, while I am completely sacrificing my own life to help them out? Yes, a complicated situation. I am started hating my family and felt betrayed. Should I just cut my tie with my family, because I am sick and tired of everything they to do? They have never included me to make decisions, and then often dig deep holes to fall, and then I am the one who saves their lives and provides them in major way. Thanks.

oooooooo asked:

I am wondering due to strange things that went on in high school if this occurred. . I did not have a disability, but really weird things went on, worse than the other three yers. Were they merely, simply, deciding if this “thing” could graduate?
I had done nothing. Did not have sex, of any sort, was not using drugs, not drinking, did NOT shoplift. What was going on?

Please do not misunderstand me. I do not think I am better than anyone.
I have never been self-righteous in my life. LOL. I simply wanted to be a virgin when I married, if ever. I did try to be a good example. LOL again.
Fat chance. What they did to me was not right in any way.

I was doing really well, very well, in typing. Some one told me the typing teacher was not married. Who cares. I am not interested. He is absolutely, definitely not my type. I sat on the front row because I always tried to get to class early, and pick my seat. This class was packed. You could hardly
squeeze through the rows. I did not find learning typing, or shorthand, difficult at all. Was fun. I left the class typing 80 wpm. I really did. I had a typewriiter at home. Rare concession regarding anything at all. I wanted to work my way through college. If there were scholarships, I knew nothing about them.
I had good grades, not bad. Not what I wanted. I earned them. i did not cheat. That is a lie to say I cheated..

Any way, suddenly mysteriously, at a critical time, guess what. My typewriter broke.Right in the middle of something, it broke. I sat there, finally, he told me I could move. I had my hand up to ask, politely. I had to move back to a strange typewriter, jammed up. .
Never fixed my typewriter. Never. This was an important time in the class.
It did affect me some. However, I did well in that class, better than anyone will ever cede. I did nothing wrong, nothing inappropriate. This was very
stress producing. Very. Didn’t want to look at me on that front row.

This problem was in no way due to OCD or obsessiveness, or rigidity and inflexibility. It was not due to not being able to tolerate change. I was not in any way mentally ill. The heat is on, competition, for what? There was no limit to the number of A’s that could be given out. One person’s having a good grade did not mean someone else got a bad one.

Another thing that happened was in PE. Suddenly, after three years,
of telling us we could sit out our periods, she attacked me for doing that. I had
heavy periods, very heavy. I think she cut my grade over that. She said that was why she did it. My sister seemed to think this was ok. She had me to play batminton with her, sis, and acted like a “durned” fool, out by the road so everyone could see. I did not act like that. There were rare rare people I laughed with.I did not laugh a lot, or inappropriately. I did not have flat affect at all. I learned not to show emotion or expressiveness.. I received one box of kotex. It had to last, no matter what.
She also told me to play “basketball.” I thought she would instruct me in how.
I had never done it before, so being obedient. I started to play, waiting for instructions. Someone who looked like someone I know, knocked me flying. She was younger than I. They said she was the girlfriend of someone I knew. I was not injured, but it was not funny. I did not say anything, not to anyone. I want to graduate. I am afraid to fuss about anything much. I did once, I believe it was my senior year. The implication was that the one I told on was rewarded. This gym teacher started winking at me.
I didn’t know what to think. She didn’t try touching me or anything.
She asked about our periods. I had a lot of problems, not disabling, but lumps and bumps, soreness, leg aching heaviness, feeling of temperature, heavy periods. She clammed up about that really quick. I could run fast in relays.
I was not tired all the time, but I tired easily. Part of it was diet. I didn’t eat much. I couldn’t drink milk. I ate breakfast well. I had a lot of energy for short spurts and I ate before PE so I would have energy. I did not like
batminton if I was inside the group. If I had BO, it was from stress,
from walking so darned much, from being harassed .i WAS CLEAN. My clothes were clean. I also wore deoderant. I asked the gym teacher if I had BOor what was wrong. She said abruptly, “Change your deoderant”. Secret deoderant made my clothes really yellow under the arm, my bras.
I had done nothing amiss. Really. (Reminded me vividly of the time this sis asked me if I could swim. I said I could, because I could. I had never been in deep water. She took me out in deep water, with her little sis in law my age,
and dumped me in deep running water, then someone clobbered me on the head. I did not lie abut being able to swim. I did swim before this. Why did she prefer her to me, is the issue. I do not care. Please keep it up.))

I was not in any way mentally ill,
