My Frosh date bought me a boutonniere, and even though everyone had one, I think it would be best to keep them. But because boutonnieres are real flowers and do wilt and die off, my parents recommend to throw them away. I feel like it is just disrespect regarding my date, and should be kept and preserved as a memory. Is it bad to throw away a boutonniere? How do you preserve them?

Apparently he left her with just a note and the strange part is she had sent pics of them smiling and happy and then suddenly he dumped her. She then started texting me asking if I knew and if we were in contact because he had asked about me recently. I'm pissed off and just want to be done with her but don't know what to say.

I am an adult now but when I was 14 I was 6' and had a very deep voice and looked like I was in my 20's, 18 at least. First I met one girl because she laughed really loudly at a dumb joke I made and then asked started talking to me. After she got my attention her and her friend giggled and she popped out and said boo. Then she began trying to find any excuse to talk to me and butt herself into my conversations. She got red around me while talking, she made no eye contact while talking and starred off into space smiled and didn't stand still. She just found any excuse to talk to me and got giggly around me and just laughed @ everything. I minded my own business and she giggled and said "CJ". At first her friend wanted nothing to do with me. Her friend just asked me to be around them and found any excuse to and her friend found out information about me. The friend found any excuse for me to be around them. The 1st one wanted me as close as possible to her for a picture and had to be between me and her friend. These two girls both made eye contact and smiled at me a lot they always smiled. They laughed at dumb stuff I said to them and they'd defend, her friend told on someone because he said dumb stuff to us. Her friend offered me a ride when it was unnecessary. They both found any excuse to be around me and the friend did too she tried to get me alone. They both complimented me a lot and giggled said my name or said "You've been inappropriate recently" if I did something bad

Does that mean he's masturbated to my picture?

t's so hard for me to make female friends. I'm the coolest woman you would ever meet. I real and I never stab anybody in the back. I don't get why people switch up on me so quick. One minute we are great, the next they blow me off. There have been times girls wouldn't invite me places. They would say their not going somewhere, and end up posting photos with them there. Females choose friendships with other women over me. I don't get it.

So there was this guy I used to talk to..We're both 20 and in college (I still am but he dropped out). I originally wanted to be in a relationship with him but then I started to notice he had no motivation to get his life together..He refused to get a job, he dropped out of college and did nothing but stay home and play video games all day..He always said rude things about my parents and said rude things to me..I found this very disrespectful towards me because he had no motivation to move us forward. My roommates have been telling me to leave him for months. I knew the situation was extremely unhealthy so I left him. When I said we should both move on he said he felt he wanted to hurt himself or kill himself. After he said that my roommates and I called 911. He's getting the help that he needs right now.. but he started lying about me to my roommates by saying I said stuff about them that I never said..He's also lying to his mom and she's contacting my roommates to tell them to stay away from me...Now my roommates don't even trust me anymore. Now they are saying I'm the cause of their mental health issues and to blame for it. They are also saying he's in the hospital because of me and what I did to him was not ok..They've been telling me to leave him for months but now they're angry with me because I caused him to feel this way..Now I'm stressed out and confused if I'm really the one to blame or they're being bad friends..

Im female, in my 30's and have always been extremely quiet and never had a social circle. I started a new job as a newly qualified healthcare professional 8 months ago and i know they all think im odd as im so quiet and sort of freeze in team meetings/say nothing. They dont really know me and social conversation is awkward. They all have facebook/twitter instagram accounts where they follow each other and post things about healthcare/how important services are for patients etc but im way too embarrased to create an account. Well i have an account but no picture or followers lol. At the same time i worry even more that they'l see me as odd for not having an account as im supposed to be a professional. I don't know why ive always been so shy. Im planning sentances to say to them before i go in every morning as i come across as weird when i say what i think naturally. I just wanted advice. On my student placements staff said i was quirky and anxious. If i suddenly started to act like them theyd think there was something wrong as ive barely spoke a word since i started. Well ive tried, i told them that i saw a man with a ferret on a lead when i was outside at lunchtime once (this was true) i thought theyd laugh but they seemed puzzled.

I bought things so she can gossip up and down the street or to better herself. Don't want to completely ignore her as she lives next door. (But I want to). What can I say to send the boundary message while still speaking?

I haven't discarded him and he hasn't discarded me either as he's not approaching the two of his female friends so I don't discard him, however i told him on a Facebook post(he sees everything I post) that I'm kinda moving on and going to travel to express myself and meet a new man. It's because those same female friends have been manipulating him so he doesn't approach me(they know he's into me). Back in high school they would send their friends or show themselves in places where me and him were to hijack our interaction. I don't think he's that ashamed of being seen as gay since he has a cross dresser on his friend list, so he doesn't have excuse to fear being exposed, he already exposed himself. I accidentally said outloud I was going to message him, now I can't because like I said earlier, he has these 2 women on his social circles(including Facebook) that are manipulating him so he doesn't approach me and they're capable of hacking his messenger to intimidate him and me. They're not saying it but their silence language says it all, and I have been explaining this to him yet he's doing nothing despite not approaching them so I don't discard the engagement, but again he's pretending to be ignorant and I got tired. As I said earlier, I'm moving on, I'm about to travel to meet a new man and he knows this, I told him in my posts, I'm giving him a challenge, however, now he's trying to shame me for kinda moving on. Who's being more reasonable here?

It's gotten to the point where I feel genuinelly apologetic that someone was chosen as my partner in class. And, sometimes I'll go to the cinema with my friends and really want to apologise that one of them has to sit next to me rather than someone else. I guess I just feel like I'm boring and unlikeable? Until I was about 11 I was extremely social, friends with the whole class and would meet new people everyday. Then, I moved and I've never been the same? I don't know what happened to me. People just said it's because its a new school and I'm shy but, it's been years and I still feel horrible about myself.

Im in a very uncomfortable situation with a girl from work. My name is Seth and her name is Martha, We used to be good friends, we were really close work friends, and she was married. But we knew nothing would happen between us , so we didn't think it would be a big deal. she was still a good friend with a good personality and she was really caring. she would just blush and would always talk about me. but we eventually got in trouble because a lot of Staff felt weird about her being friends with another dude. everyone could tell that she would always blush and smile more when I was around her. eventually we got into a lot of trouble with our boss, our boss told us that both of our jobs were on the line. Everone began targeting Martha because she's the one who is married, and I felt really bad because we were just being friendly. so Martha got very stressed out and she turned the tables on me. She told her boss that I was the one who would always up approach her to talk to her, and that I never let her concentrate on her work. so I got into losts of trouble. I remeber that last year she made an innocent sexual joke about me, so I want to show her boss the text, but deep down I feel really Bad. I dont want any of this to affect her marriage, i know for a fact she loves her husband and her kids. What should i doo???? Should i ahow them the text????? I keep thinking about her smile soo i dont know what to doo

So my best friend lives with her husband, her two sons, and her brother-in-law. I ve never spoken to her brother-in-law for all my time knowing my bff, because he s usually hanging out in his room or talking to his brother. However, couple months ago this guy moved in across the street. The new neighbor and I were talking and we had a one time hook up. All of a sudden, the brother-in-law is calling me disgusting, and degrading my name when I m not around, and tells people when they ask him why he s mad at me that he s mad because I slept with a stranger. Again, I have never talked to this man. Can someone please explain if that s a valid excuse and why? If not, why do you think he doesn t like me? I know I shouldn t be concerned with what people think about me, but 1) I find it ridiculous to be mad at someone for having their own personal sex life and 2) I go to my bff s house often and it s awkward seeing him and knowing he hates me, it ruins the atmosphere in the house.

I am living in my deceased mom's home. My cousin met me and wanted to see how things are going. I tell her I only make $10 an hour which isn't much. I am almost 50 years old. I tell her what I make because we talk about whether I should keep house. Will my cousin believe what I tell her I make and should I disclose it to her?

Also from a young age, I kept changing towns, friends, for a long time I never even had friends. I have now, but they are few and don't even live near anymore, and i'm a 19 year old girl, most people just want to use me or have sex with me from what I noticed, and I don't even know how to make myself likable, I want so hard to have a decent social life but, I just make a fool out of myself and can't open up to someone, unless i'm drunk or spent a lot of time with them :( So how can I start making friends?

you may have already seen me post this already, but I never got much help. My best friend has made an Instagram account, and will sometimes get dms from older men because of it. One of them told her their life story and sent a video of him playing guitar with his shirt off. Another bought her a game via steam. Whenever I try to tell her they're trying to groom her, she just says "-_-" and "bruh." And "they aren't even being weird tho." (I've told her multiple times that it can still be grooming, and I believe she knows this. I think she likes the attention she gets from them, knowing it's wrong.) My best friend isn't dumb, but she's naive. she will never meet any of these people in person. She will stop talking to them if they get too weird. I am going to say this again, because I was ridiculed before for saying it. I am not going to tell her parents, because I will lose her as a friend if I do. I forgot to add that she might physically hurt me as well. Please don't call me a terrible friend for not telling anyone like before, please. Once again, if I tell someone, she won't be my- (the other half of this is in a comment.)

I broke up with my best friend, we've been together for 5 years but Since being together She has proven that she doesn't respect others or their trust, and She talks poorly about them (which also makes me cautious when talking to her, fearful in what she may pass on to someone else). She has also proven to me that she doesn't always take me seriously or respects me, when she continuously brings up the same problems but disregards any advice I give (which made me feel belittled, and thought something was wrong with me). And when I had a problem I would never burden her with it if I knew her advice wouldn't be useful. Now at first I was ok with the break up I didn't tell anyone else besides my parents, and I believed I was healing. But she sent a letter apologizing (I never told her what she did wrong) and said she would be there if I ever needed anyone. And now I can't stop thinking about all the good times we had and i breaks my heart that I can't be near her. I miss her immensely, and now I can't tell if I was being over sensitive or I was right to believe that we had just become two different people.

we've been friends for about half a year now, and just recently he accidentally calls me babe quite often. He'd be like let's go babe, I mean (my name). Then he gets a bit embarrassed. Do you think maybe he likes me? I kind of hope so... thanks x

I have done everything for this person. Arranging trips, driving her everywhere, looking after her son, loaning her money. Her husband has a long term illness. We took a trip to another state earlier this year, I organised it, drove them and spent the whole weekend listening to the bicker. We met up with some mutual friends during this trip and conversation turned to a hard time I had with my boss. I had stood up for myself during this time and my friend/colleague didn't like this as she also had a rough time with the same boss but said nothing. She announced in front of our mutual friends 'oh well when you're unhappy, every f&@cker knows about it'. I am happy and upbeat 99 percent of the time but this was a hard time for me at work and age and her husband showed no support for me. This trip we took was the first chance for me to let my hair down after the hard times at work and I spent it running around after then, listening to them argue followed by being told I am the problem. She demanded that we drive home first thing the next day, despite the fact I'd made plans with our mutual friends, as her husband was ill. I got a text from her this morning, asking if everything is ok as she senses something is 'off' but doesn't know why. Should I tell her she's an awful person or should I just say nothing to keep the peace?

So l don't have much friends, but the friends I do have are shitty. And I can give a few examples. They put me down, they expect me to give them money, if I offer them food they'll purposely put more food for me to pay when I've said no, etc. If I cut them off which I'm literally thinking of doing, it's the new year and I NEED toxic out of my life, I will literally have no other friends to hang out with aka no social life. Is it worth it? Should I say **** it and block them? It's just that after awhile I don't know if I'll do good still being on my own... I don't know what to do. What would you do?

All my life up until not to this very day I've only had at least 1 friend. None of my friendships ever seem to last. In school it's hard for me to make friends. I'm in my senior year & I have nobody. Literally. I live in foster care. I've been in the system since I was 6 months old. I don't even have 1 single family member to invite to my graduation ceremony. Its hard for me to get a job. I never get any calls back. Go in for interviews & they never hire me. At school nobody talks to me. Not a single hi or hello. At home its just me by myself. Nobody to talk to. I literally have nobody. My parents dont bother calling. My siblings dont talk to me either. I even try calling they dont pickuo. Is it me ..? I can't help the way I am.

Would you share your opinoin please? Ex boyfriend blocked me Sunday and he NEVER blocked me bfore and what's strange is yesterday before he blocked me I was on a singles site where I also met him a while back and a guy messaged me but it awfully seemed like my ex with same age and height. He asked to ask then sent his phone to text I said I couldn't already move on to texting, 30 minutes after I wrote that 9:30 am my ex blocked me on viber at 10 am and I know because his online status was no longer visible. When I tried calling the number the guy gave with s blocked number it was one of those made up free numbers from an app. Does it sound like it was him? My ex would also use apps like textfree to get a number form and text me. Why did he block me? Apparently I hurt him and I tried going back and he complained how I hurt him so he expected me to keep trying? I asked earlier December to meet and he couldn't because he had to take his dad the alterations... Does this mean despite this he still had feelings and hopes to get back together? What would make him block me?

I have what id call a bully at school and they have decided to pick on my friend group by pretending to like us, even though the person doing it has a girlfriend. How do I make him stop because no matter what I do he wont, and its getting to the point were I want to Punch his "pretty little face".

I have been friends with him for 4 years while living out of state - circumstance didn't make it ideal to ever share our feelings outside of friendship, but now that I'm moving out of state (at least temporarily..), I have an urge to at least tell him how wonderful I think he is as a person and leave him with at least some form keeping me in mind - because you never know what may happen. What I'm debating is being so literal/spelling it out vs. stating things like "you've always had a special place in my heart and always will. Moving doesn't change that." I'm not going in expecting anything since I'll be a couple states away, but I know he is very bummed and I know I could regret NOT telling him how much affinity I have for him. Note: I'm already nostalgic/emotional about moving so I wouldn't be surprised if I teared up doing this

My best friend was really hungry and struggling but he never once told me complained to me and let me know that he was hungry, and was struggling to pay bills. During the time had I known, I would have helped him right away had I known he was struggling. But as of today I am struggling to pay bills I have went hungry and I have complained day in and out about my struggles. And he has always been the first to help me with everything financially and emotionally because I complained... He has helped me even when my parents wasn't able to help me... I feel as If I'm not a good friend even though I didn't know he was struggling. Basically how can I get over this guilt. I feel as if I'm making excuses just for being ignorant of his situation. But he never ever said a thing about what he was going through. All he said was that he never liked working in retail because it was so boring. I feel as if I'm a failure because I didn't know. His behaviors never changed. He still hanged around me all the time when he was down but he never let me know. When I was down he was the first to give me advice, comfort me and let me know that everything will be all right... As of now that I am getting laid off at my job, he is even going out his way to get me a job with his job that pays $13 an hour and has plenty of overtime. No one in this world has ever went out their way for me as he's done.

So nothings happen yet, but it feels like it's going to happen. I have this friend from school that I've known since freshman year. We're both pre-meds and working towards getting into med school. Throughout college we've both been single because with class, volunteer work, Etc. there aren't enough hours in the day. Until recently things between us have been nonchalant. Last week we were texting and she brought up sex. It was kind of weird because she just kind of brought it up and we both talked about how long it been since we both had been laid. It's the first time she's ever talked about it and we sort of just talked about ex's and such (to not get to into detail). As it is we're both too busy to really see anyone and she's mentioned before she doesn't want a boyfriend so I hadn't considered anything, but could she want to do something? I do like her and it's been over a year since I've slept with anyone so I may be reading too much into it, so how can I know?
