I've been talking to this guy who texts me back so fast and constantly. We flirt. In the two weeks we've texted, he's stopped texting to me for two days and then he comes back. And does it again. He continues to watch my insta stories and tells me how hot I am. I never bother chasing him. I'm not sure what he wants.

It really bothers me 'cause someone said she had a stuffed dog that looked just like mine but she lost him at the children's ward. I wanted to talk to her about that but now I can't

I posted a few weeks ago about a dad at my son's basketball practice and agreed that maybe I was reading too much into his behavior. But today, I'm not so sure. I caught him looking at me during practice, and afterward when another coach was talking to me, he hung around listening to the conversation and watching my face the whole time - he was standing off to the side. Then, when that coach moved away, the dad turned to me and said, similing "I'm ready for bed...". I said I was too, but his tone was different. He continued to make conversation and so did I. He seemed to be hanging around waiting for my son and I to leave, since he would not leave first. Now, is this how married men flirt? I found out through a friend that he's married and even though I don't want to start anything, I need to know if I should cool things off a little - we have emailed back and forth and I've noticed some behavior from him then too. Or misbehavior, I should say. He also stared at me when he was leaving and I was at a restaurant by the exit. I got flustered and looked away. I think what's been most blatant is the staring. But that's harmless, right? Guys stare at me all the time and since I don't reciprocate, that's where it ends. Is he a harmless married man?

There s a girl in class who, last year, bullied me, and I got into a lot of drama with her. It resolved, and she was fine with me. Until this year. She s been annoying me and poking me, tapping me, and putting her legs on my desk. I usually just push her legs off, but then she laughs and kicks me. She also takes things off my desk, and doesn t give them back unless I threaten with telling the teacher (cliche bully). Even when I say "STOP IT," or "No! don t do this anymore," she keeps on poking me and annoying me. Earlier today, in class, she snatched my pencil case and wouldn t give it back. I told her to, and she laughed as usual. It was the last straw for me, I grabbed it and hit her on the back with it. I was fuming. She returned this with a punch, and she said, "I was just playing, whats your problem?" I told her that I hit her because she always is bothering me, and annoying me. I told her about all the times she s annoyed me in class. She said "I was just playing in class. Don t hit me EVER again." I told her that now she knows how it feels to be annoyed and hit by someone. She told me that poking and tapping are just playful things, and hitting is a different thing. What about all those times that she s kicked me under the desk?? I really hate her so much. Please help me how to deal with her. I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I have been talking to a girl for months online and we have gotten really close maybe too close. I am meeting with her soon but I'm scared maybe I won't be attracted to her in person when we are so close already . I have seen pictures and she looks cute in some but in some she has a more masculine look. I really want this to work out but I'm scared it's possible I won't be attracted to her when we finally meet. What should I do??

My boyfriend claimed to like it when we first met and now we don't see each other as often. We haven't been together long but he said he was clingy but this week he hasn't said he missed me any. Maybe he's tired of me and doesn't want me anymore? He works 12-16 hour shifts sometimes and after work sometimes I'm unable to see him because he lets me know things at the last minute and sometimes instead of backtracking I'll just go home. Our hours differ moreso because I just got a new job, but I'm feeling like maybe he just doesn't want me anymore. I could be being dramatic because I'm on my period the other day he was saying he wanted to come and see me for a change but I told him not to. Maybe I spoke too soon because now I'm upset that he's not making an effort. Lol I hope that's what it is he isn't even acknowledging that he misses me. I am young and not used to dating. This is my second relationship. I have tried focusing on myself and to not be overbearing so I'm not getting on his nerves.

So, there s a girl at work that I like a lot. She is married, but she told me she isn t happy with her husband (but her Mom made her feel bad for saying she didn t want to be with him, because divorce wasn t the Godly thing to do).. Anyhow, all that aside. We get along great, and today she told me when our job sends her home for two-months (Seasonal) that she was just not going to come back to the job, since she is going to have too much time off and she needs more hours. I was sad to hear that, yet I understand where she is coming from, it s just that I ll miss seeing her at work and the thought of never seeing her again saddens me. I was getting off early today because there wasn t much work and I found her to be coming around me more than usual (we work in a warehouse) maybe because we wouldn t see each other for another 4 days. So we talked more, and walked around with each other, and I kept telling her she needs to find a way to keep the job cause she s one of the few people I enjoy working with. Well, when she leaves I d like to leave some sort of impression on her cause I would like to see her come back or still be friends with her. I wanted to kind of give her a farewell gift, and the only thing that came to mind was a rose, but I didn t know if that would be coming on as too strong, seeing as she has a husband. Do any of you have an idea of how I should approach this situation? Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

We take a break at work and when everyone is around my coworker talks alot ,but wheb it is just me ,she hardly speaks? Ive been here 3 years and 1 month . Idk ,i try to start a conversation but soemtimes she leaves early if its just us . I think i make her uncomfortable bc when i am sick she asks if i am ok ,so i dont think she doesn't like me ? We are 31 and 65

My boyfriend, in his 35+ years, has never had a job for more than 2-3 years, never had an apartment for longer than a couple of years and same with relationships. We've been together over a year and he swears he's happy with me, that I'm "perfect", but he's unhappy in his life because he keeps needing other changes - he wants a new job and to move to another apartment (he gave up one because of his lease, so now he's living with his mom after briefly living with me a few months). He doesn't understand why I'm upset that he always wants change in his life. I'm the opposite - I've had 2 stable jobs over the past 15 years and lived in my place for 10 years. I like stability and knowing I'm secure. While I love being with my BF and we hardly argue about values and commitment, I"m afraid that down the line, if we move into a new place together and he gets a new job, it'l only be a matter of time before he's bored with THOSE situations as well. He doesn't think something like this should stop us from being together (which seems naive to not comprehend). "I don't know what I want, all I know is I want to be with you." Is what he says. That's nice and all, but I don't want my future to be with someone who's never satisfied with their job/apartment or living situation. How else can I explain to him (maybe in guy terms) that it's unhealthy for me to go in this revolving door of uncertainty with him going forward? * In addition, he actually he's NOT thinking consciously about the future and just wants to focus on the next week and month - not years down the line.

I see this guy who comes and eats at my restaurant a lot. He usually comes and eats by himself but he's been known to come with a few friends every couple weeks or so. Usually he eats alone though and he tips really well. I asked him curiously a few times if he had a girlfriend or anything and he said he did. I opened my phone one day and showed him a picture of my wife. After he saw the picture he said "nice.. she looks beautiful. I'm sure you're really happy" I then asked him to show me a picture of his girlfriend. He said he didn't feel comfortable showing me a picture. I asked why. He said "because you're my waiter" then he laughed kind of nervously. He then asked for the check, tipped me $10 on a $20 meal and went on his way. He came back a few days later by himself and tried one of our new specials. I asked him if he could show me a picture of his girlfriend again and he said "didn't you ask me that the other day?" I said yeah. He said "I don't usually take pictures with my girlfriend, actually" then he continued "to be honest, I only have 1 picture with her. It was when we were vacationing in Spain".. I said "just one picture?" He said yeah just one. To which i asked "how long have you guys been dating?" He said about a year. I then said hopefully one day she can come and eat with you. He said "she lives about an hour from here, but I'll for sure bring her one day". I told him to enjoy his meal..and let him be. I mean I'm just curious what's the big deal with showing a picture. So do you think he's private or what?

My sister and this really weird kid are like dating and its not very good. This weird kid I'm pretty sure does not bath and he goes around sniffing girls hair. This dude like loves creepy pastas and dresses slender man and like jeff the killer. It has been rumored that he cut off a goats head in the woods next to my house on a big stone slab. Instead of eating school lunch he brings a thing of spray cheese and eats some of that, this is every school day. Not only is this kid weird, he is 12th grade and my sister is 9th. Ever since my sister started to date him she started to smell of that putrid potent spray cheese and it makes me sick, and she is a weird emo girl now. She used to listen to good classic rock, now she listens to like falling in reverse, my chemical romance, green day, breaking Benjamin, Lincoln park, the offspring, and blink 182. Its awful, she used to like the beatles, led zeppelin, lynnyrd skynyrd, etc. Everytime I turn on one of these songs that she used to like (for myself not her sake), she goes "EW!" then starts screaming "HAVENT YOU EVER HEARD OF CLOSING THE GOD DAMN DOOR!" She is arrogant and obnoxious now, I hate her. She is the devil. My mom started drinking and my dad is depressed.

I know it seems ridiculous but this is a legitimate concern of mine. I just recently got engaged but we don't live together, we're waiting until after we get married. I have tons of stomach issues and honestly holding in gas can be extremely painful for me. I'm wondering how it works when you live together, do you fart infront of each other? He has once or twice but it's not something we do. It's not like he thinks I don't fart or poop, it's just that my farts are not dainty hahaha they loud and gross. I know he wouldn't mind if I did fart infront of him, he'd be relieved because then he could finally do it too, and it wouldn't bother me at all. Do you guys openly fart infront of your man regardless of what it might sound or smell like? I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I'm just so curious. Thank you!

I really need some advice on this please help me. I feel hated by everyone I literally have no friends my only friend stopped hanging out with me and also cut me off for no reason and even my cousins etc don't really talk to me only when they need something They only want to talk to my sister. I feel depressed and lonely all the time because of this

Ok so one of my best friends from elementary school lets just say totally when in a different direction I was going I'm 23 & shes 24 I've had my medical job for two years now have my own savings , car & no kids but she hasn't had a job since we graduated high school in 2012 & that was McDonald's the only thing she's been doing for the past 5 years is live with her boyfriend who she didn't even want to marry but she accepted the engagement and still went along with it made him make they're account a joint account so she could use his money (even tho he's only a truck driver) so basically all she's done is live off a guy & sat at home all day just playing on social media anyways they recently had a baby but since the baby came he started making her do everything & controlling then one day she gets sick of it & leaves her "fiancé " to be with her old ex from high school who use to cheat on her & disrespect her and her baby daddy and her ex use to be friends and now she lives with the guy am I wrong for not respecting her as a woman anymore ? It's like she hopped from one guys house to another It's like she can't survive without a man what should I do In this situation I'd hate to cut her off but I'm so disappointed in her high school like decisions & mindset & both of her bfs are broke as a joke and dropped out of high school it's not like she's even picking guys with real money they barely make over minimum wage

Had a bad day and a female friend of mine sent an e card trying to cheer me up, etc. Would you say that she likes me or just cares for me? I was surprised to see that.

If they were bigger and stronger, could you defend yourself?

Growing up I was always given attention by family, but mostly by strangers. Everyday I was told, "you re so pretty, I love your hair, I wish I had your height, etc" it was so annoying but some days it did feel kind of good. Now, I expect it which is terrible and I find myself dropping friends that don t flatter me. I am still humble and never brag nor act like an ****** like others, but mentally "I get off on it" and secretly love it. How can I fix it? I tried being "less-me", and it lessened but I still have that problem.

The people around here tends to be like this Some carries a 'mess with me id beat you up attitude' or others carry a 'aggravate me, or if you're just generally annoying, I'll bully you' attitude, people around here has a 'look at me funny there'd be hell to pay' yes they might be cool with you up front, up until you intentionally or unintentionally step on that wrong foot' what are your suggestions?

Some years ago I was in a serious car accident. After a stay in the hospital they sent me home but they told me I would have to have someone with me round the clock for 2 weeks as I could not take care of myself. My husband Joe priced private nurses and they were way more than we could afford. Lucky for me Joe's grand mother Alice was a nurse and she volunteered to stay with me the 2 weeks. I made a complete recovery thanks in large part to Alice's great care she gave me. Alice would not take any money for helping me. We became good friends and remained good friends ever after Joe and I had a friendly divorce. I have since remarried. I am scheduled for surgery next week and the doctors told me I needed to have a care giver with me for 3 days after I get home from the surgery. I immediately thought of Alice. I called her and she readily agreed to stay the 3 days with me. It gave me great peace of mind that even after the divorce from her grandson she was still a friend that cared for me. However my present husband Jason does not want me to have anything to do with my ex husband or his family. I told Jason this is my body we are talking about I want the great care Alice will give me. This has nothing to do with my ex husband Joe. This is one time Jason is going to have to accept my decision on this matter. Does this seem reasonable to you?
