This guy in my english class kind of stares at me through the corner of his eyes. He only turns around once in a while, and I just smile, but it's kinda weird. A couple days ago, he was attempting to flex his arm ... yeah. I am not sure if he is interested in me, or he is just shy. We talked like, last year a little, but now we don't at all. It's weird. I wish I could tell what he was, or might be, thinking. He seems nice, and smart, but he is quiet. What is he thinking?!

I have a cousin, who I love and adore. She came down from Colorado to Texas during the summer to escape her mother—who’s losing her mind. She integrated into the family and we miss her so much.

Now that she’s back home, her parents are abusing her. Her mother is never home, her father is rarely, but when they are, all hell breaks loose. She gets in trouble all of the time for the dumbest of things and the punishments are severe.

She left her stuff on the counter a couple of times in the bathroom, and now her mother only allows her to go to the one in the basement—which is dark and full of spiders—of which she is terrified.
Then she gets a call from her school. She hasn’t been turning assignments in on time (imagine that! A mother that nuts that also makes her practice the flute for an hour every morning); so, she’s distracted-more like terrified. She “lied” about not turning in a homework paper—you see, she lies because she’s scared of the way her mother would react given the truth; and by the way, her mother is a habitual liar and going for a doctorate in psychology. She compares her daughter to the delinquents she works with at a social services place, and these people have killed family pets and beat up mothers and stuff. So, for “lying” she cannot be upstairs or on the main level. She has to stay in the basement all of the time and sleep there.

But now she’s threatening even more, and she’s serious. Next time she’s not even allowed in the house. She will have to sleep outside. And then she’s going to shave her head. And this woman is serious. She does not make idle threats

This little girl is precious, intelligent and in the 7th grade. I want to hold her so badly and tell her that everything will be all right, but when is the time to intervene? Her dad just backs up her mom. And she’s adopted; so, we wouldn’t get her—she’d go into foster care or something. What do you do?

Most girls expect a kiss on the first date, and if I don't do that, which of course I'm shy to do, I fall into their friendship circle, which I hate. I also don't want to be too quick so I don't come off her as wanting only sex.I'm really confused. Ok what I'm concerned about is this, as a good, honest black guy, how do I make the first dates worthwhile, so she wants more almost immediately or she wants to see me again, or she stays interested, and I don't fall into her "friend circle?"

I recently told my parents that I was moving a few hours away to be with my boyfriend. I am a single mom, so my parents are using that as the reason why I shouldnt move. My BF is an amazing man, with a steady head on his shoulders. He adores my children, and adores me as well. My childrens father is barely in thier lives and I know my BF would step up and be that man in thier lives. I know this is the man I will marry, but no one in my life is happy for me AT ALL. Most of them are not talking to me. On the other had his family is soooo amazing and they cant wait for me to move. He is buying a home and has a great job, and so I wont ask him to move to be with me ( although I know if I did, that he would pick up and leave everything for me) How do I get my family to respect my decision? The odd thing is that they like him. I am so hurt by all of this, and dont feel like I am doing anything wrong. I know my heart and know in my mind what is right for me and my children..HELP

My ex-girlfriend and I have been broken up and havent spoken for three months. We broken up four or five times mainly it was my fault. I did some dumb **** but I learned from it. The reason for last the break-up was a long distance relationship she wanted me closer but financial reasons I cant do it. To be honest I have a degree in managment but I'm catching hell finding a job if I had a good job I told I would send her back to school and pay for everything. She told me she was seeing someone else. Even though I called her she seen my number and she did answer the phone. I asked was she busy she said no so we talked for a while. I let her go so I wouldnt burn her daytime minutes. The question I have is that am I seeing more into this. I still love her and I want her back in my life what should I do? I propsed to her once hell she's the love of my life

My co-workers have told me that there's this divorced woman (early 40's, but looks YOUNGER), at the office, who seems to find me attractive. This statement has also been claimed by the woman's closest female friend.

The problem is: She's OLDER than I am, but looks good.

However, when I see her, she acts like she there's nothing going on and greets me as if she HAD to. Her closest female friend, though, ALWAYS teases her while I am nearby.

I am very curious whether this all is true or not or whether this could be part of just a joke. How can I find out?

What do you think???

To health farm cinema, go out for meals or drinks.I do read alot. I do have friends whom I chat on line. But deep in my heart I am lonely, Why do I feel like this? I do have 3 children. They do keep me company. I visit my family and friends. Some friends do not like me talking to their husbands. that makes me feel very bad too. What I must do?

Help! My parents anniversary is next month and I'm trying to think of something to get them. Any great ideas? Something $100 and under. They've already got their house full of as many knick knacks and candles and whatnot. I just have absolutely no ideas-suggestions?

i really like him, and he seems to like me too, but some days, he pushes away, and he knows it hurts me. we've had great times, and i want to move on, but he just makes it harder when he's sweet. He has such a vast personality, it's hard to explain it, but he's just overbearing at times.
