Ok My boyfriend Ted (33 yo) saw his ex girlfriend out and he said hi to her to break the ice, he never got closure from relationship and is happy he finally had a few words with her and got closure. Now he said he hopes maybe he can establish a "friendship" with her. I do understand hes happy he got closure but want to tell him this and want to reword it better in a sweet, nnot seeming jealous way. I can't tell him in person since he lives far away.
OK want to reword this and tell him this in a note but dont want to sound jealous- just concerned for him. Please reword what I wrote any writers or people with good grammar thanks:
I am happy for you you got closure you were seeking.. I can understand you wanted approval but now let it be that way. I want to let him know it bothers me for him to continue friendship w/ her but not seem jealous. Also want to tell him hes a good guy and want to mention that i want to focus on our growing relationship.

Well, I have been noticing lately that a lot of girls are using this symbol in their user names.(<3) which looks like it's saying that 3 is greater than whatever else they put as their name, and it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm an English teacher explaining "do for a living" to foreign students. That's easy, what I want to ask native English speakers out there is:

would you use the full sentence "what do you do for a living?" when speaking directly to someone?

It feels unnatural to me, an example of too-proper English or perhaps even a bit impolite, like I'm asking "how do you make your money?" It seems more right to just ask "what do you do?" when speaking directly to someone.

What do you guys think and why? Thanks for your help!

Like emaciating or sumthing. I dont mean like the word 'complicated'. I want big words most people dont know what means. Like emaciating mean growing thin.

Maybe big words for wasteing away of slowly dying or whatever u can think of please =]]

I found a phrase on a baby announcement that I would like to change to work for a baby shower invitation (for a girl).

The phrase is:
The pitter patter
of little feet
Have made our
lives complete!

I still want to use the first two lines "The pitter patter of little feet" but want to change the last two so it would work for a baby shower invitation!!!

Any ideas? Thanks!
