Family & Relationships - 28 August 2006

My brother is getting married soon and my parents are hosting the rehearsal dinner. There will be close to 40 people in attendance. My parents don't drink, and many of the people attending drink heavily, so my parents don't feel like they should have to pay for people to drink like no tomorrow. Is there an easy way to tell them that they aren't going to pay for the alcoholic drink? Possibly in the invitation? Please help!!!

Hey ladies, what do you prefer; you approach him or he approaches you? what do you think is more socially acceptable?

My boy friend always asks me things such as 'do you like me' , 'are you happy being with me', etc. Just recently I have started paying attention to him and realized that he tells me those things (how he feels about me) most of the time, but I am not the kind of person that speaks much about feelings. Sometimes it gets akward, as he says things and looks at me and I feel under the heavy pressure and obligation of saying the same, even though I wont feel like doing so. What should I do? Does it mean that if I dont say what he wants to hear he will go find someone else? Usually I guess it is the opposite, the woman is all romantic and the guy is more practical. In my case it is exactly the opposite. Can things work this way? What can take me out of those akward situations without etiher being rude or surrendering to his 'manipulation'?

My fiancee and I have budgeted our wedding to pay for the 24 people in our lives who we couldn't get married without. You know, the people that if even one of them was missing then the day wouldn't be the same. We are unable to pay for anybody else without cutting costs to dodgy levels.We wanted the big wedding but couldn't afford it. How will I word the invitations to ask the others to fork out the $135 a head to come. Our parents aren't an option for cash...

This guy and I have been going on dates for about six weeks now...we get along great and have a lot in common. We have been taking it very slow, not rushing anything, seeing each other about once a week, talking at least once a day. He is cute, romantic, funny, smart, bascially everything I have been looking for. He is different then most guys in the sense that he doesnt want to just have sex with me....which is great! I really like him and I want this to work out....His friend told me he likes me because I am "the girl next door" Guys, do you have any suggestions for keeping this relationship going and hopefully turning it in to something more. I am a fun, easy going person, confident, independant girl, who is interested in having a relationship with this guy. Taking it slows seems to be working...

My husband is a very good person. He has a good job, he helps with the kids, he fixes car, homes. He is very prudent with money. He is always home on time. He would eat whatever is there without demanding. He helps with chores...He does everything except ...sex.

We come from a family tradition where sex is something that should be kept under wrap. I don't have anyone to talk to and I know I will not have support about the problem. Counseling is out of the question.

We have been married for over 20 years. The kids had left for college. What should I do? Should I leave too?

I'm not asking, just curious. I keep meeting really great girls but for some reason I always lose out to some other guy. I'm smart, I'm funny, I'm not bad-looking. I have a real talent at making people feel good about themselves and laugh.
Now what I'm asking is a stretch as u can't see what I look like, but based on what I've said about myself in my about me segment, would any girls actually want to go out with me?

My husband went behind my back and sold his chain. When I confronted him about selling it, he denied it twice to my face. When I caught him in a lie he siad it's because he knew that it was going to start an argument so he lied. Now how can I make him realize that what he did (lying) was wrong? Should I go behind his back and lie to him just to prove a point? help!

Got a wedding to go to this weekend. My boyfriend's cousin and his fiance, neither of whom I know or have met.
They have a registry, but it is only to one store and I personally am not a fan of the whole 'impersonal' gift giving thing.
I would like to give them something special and unique, something they can actually use over the years and not just a blender or bedding. It is really a shotgun wedding as she is pregnant, so I thought maybe I could combine the wedding present with a baby present as well or maybe even toss in something towards the Honeymoon...but it turns out they are not having a Honeymoon.

Any suggestions?

He loves racing but when I looked up a racetrack where he would be able to try that it was over $1000 for just one day. Then I consided getting him a testdrive with a Ferrari but I dont really know how to go about getting that. He also likes boxing etc. and he's a Red Sox and Pat's fan... I want to find something really cool for him to do because this is the first year we're together =)

What is the hottest, sexiest thing that someone's done to you in the bedroom?

2006-08-28 03:33:09 · 13 answers · asked by snowfoxx71 3 in Singles & Dating

For almost anything sexual, whether good topics, bad topics, or lame topics. The guys always say it's the way they are wired, it's instinct, it's natural, and this and that to use as an excuse for a lot of different things. Not all guys, but a good majority. That is so lame, really. When I work and a customer is pissed off and taking it out on me, my "natural instinct" is to knock their damn head off, but I control it, you know, will power? So really why do you keep on using that crutch?
