Family & Relationships - 9 October 2006

Is it just me that is overloaded with how much we have to teach our children these days? As opposed to what our parents needed to teach us. I mean, now we have the internet, cell phones, i-pods and the list goes on and on. When I was a teenager, I had my bicicle then my car. I had a "boom box" (remember those) and a television in my room. All of which, my parents had to make sure I used correctly and at appropriate times. Now our children have the internet and a host of safety issues that goes along with it. The proper use of a cell phone as not to run up the national debt. Oh, and i-pods and illegal downloading. And all of which, and we are to make a living and sleep at the same time. Am I getting old or just feeling that way?

Before I wa married I could never get a date, now that I am married i have women hitting on me all the time. And during times when my wife and I are mad at each other it is hard to not fall into the temptation of cheating?These are girls that I wished I could have dated before I was married, but then they wouldn't give me time. Now I have never cheated but it has crossed my mind? Please just wanted to know what attracts women to married men.

Ok, I am serious about this, so before anyone tells me to be myself, understand that both options are facets of me.

I am dating a girl with a past. I don't care about her past because she is with me now and I know she is serious. All I have to do is look in her eyes, you know? Deep down, I am a romantic at heart, but was always a pretty big dork in school, therefore single a lot (or most of the time) and developed some, well, interesting desires/fetishes. My question is this: do you prefer intimate guys or aggressive guys? Or maybe a little of both? Just trying to decide which part of me to highlight. Or maybe mix it up.

I started working a few months ago and my boss transferred from another place about the same time I started. He's really young, not much older than I am, and he seems interested in me. At first it ws just glances where we would hold each other's gaze for a few seconds and he would smile at me..but recently he has started to call me babygirl when no one is around. I might be misreading this..but sometimes I stay late at work because two people have to be in the office at all times..and so I stay with him until he is ready to leave..and we sit in his office while he works together. He sits very very close to me with his leg nearly touching mine..I am almost positive that he is interested..and I want him to make a move on me..or I want to make a move myself..but it has to be fairly unobvious if I do it..I want to send the right signals to him..but I don't know what to do next. Help anyone!

After 2 weeks and man was it hard as hell I finally confronted her. I had to start a conversation somehow so this is how it went.

Me: Hey I was wonderin where you got your lip ring done at?
Her: Oh at the Vadik...
Me: Where?
Her: The Vadikkan
Me: Oh nice how long it take to convince your parents.
Her: Like one day
Me: Cmon really how long
Her: Hehe really one day
Me: Haha well my names Gary what's yours?
Her: Mines Crystal

Well this kinda sucked cause while we were talkin down the hall I ended the conversation early because we ran into one of her friends. I didn't want her or myself to feel more uncomfortable. But as we were talking she seemed realy shy as she was talking very quietly and she did blush. But she smiled the whole time. Now I don't know my next approach I'm thinking of saying Hi to her down the halls every chance I get and occasionally starting another conversation but I just don't know how to do it.

its gotten me so depressed, they both want me, and i love them both for different reasons

a) dated for 4.5 years. he cheated on me for 6 months of it. hes very organized, uptight, does his best to make me happy. always surprising me with gifts and dinners. im comfortable with him.

b) dated for a few months, faithful to me, more of a "bad" boy although he stopped drinkng and smoking just for me. he has my best interests at heart and i trust him to never hurt me. we have different religious beliefs though, different races, and different cultures. with marriage and kids right around the corner, i dont know..

my husband's coworker told me in confidence that my hubby was trying to secretly get "fixed" before I got pregnant. the crazy part is we discussed having children BEFORE we were married and that I was not going to play stepmom to his boys every summer and not have my own children. after getting pregnant, hubby went back and forth upset about the baby which leads me to believe his coworker was telling me the truth. Was that selfish of me to still want to have my own children? Why would someone try to take that away from me when he should have just left me alone and not proposed? what do you think happened here, I missed a huge red flag somewhere!

I dated a guy who was substantially younger (not giving details, just a little over a decade) and we came to a conclusion that we would just be friends with benefits cuz I am older and moving out of state and he is younger and moving out of state! Well, anyhow, we had a great night... and then he thought it was weird that I ACTUALLY CALLED him afterward! We had been talking for over a month and had discussed what we both wanted - basically fun times...etc.... and then he told me that I basically bugged him too much! This is after the guy said, TEXT ME TOMORROW.... of which I did at like 10 p.m. cuz when I sign off, my cell phone goes off!! Anyhow, I think it is SO WEIRD!! He emailed me and said he doesn't want a relationship.... DUH... like I do! I'm sorry, but for you younger peeps, sex does imply some kind of relationship!! Maybe not "I love you" or " You love me" but it does imply that maybe you should be able to talk the person again without feeling like a retard!!

Now I know she was glad too because she told me she was going to wait for me to make that move and I did. Okay, now my question is on my next date I am going to pick her up at her place and go for dinner and back to her place for a movie...now when do I kiss her again...when I first greet her or when we get back to her place...or where

I just met a guy yesterday and I already like him soo much. Yesterday was our first date, and we hit it off so well that we didn't want it to end and he ended up spending the night at my house and leaving this morning (we messed around but didn't have sex all the way). I don't think either of us were expecting to click so well. Well in the morning before he left he hugged me and said we should do something next weekend and then kind of stood in the doorway looking at me and smiled before he left. Then all day today I can't stop thinking about him and feel all tingly when I think of him. Well I was kind of expecting him to call me or email me today. Do you think he should have? Is it too soon? Or is he maybe trying to play it cool and wait awhile before he contacts me again? I'm afraid he has decided he doesn't like me after all.

So im joining the air national gaurd soon, and ill be leaving for basic soon. My boyfriend told me the other day that he wanted to take a break when i left. My first reaction was that he didnt want to be with me anymore. Im only going to be gone for a little more than six months but not more than a year, and after basic he will be able to come visit me and write me. What does this mean and what should i do????

He wants me to make a desicion, what should i do?

Does anyone out there find the idea of hypnosis or being hypnotized extremly sexy and erotic? I do, and its a big fantasy of mine to be hypnotized or put to sleep by a sexy mentalist (think the Phantom of the Opera) and carried off to his underground lair only to be romanced and seduced by him upon awakening. Does anyone share this fantasy or am I a freak? :)

I think this guy cheated with me on his new wife of 9 months. Out of the blue he looked me up (went to a lot of trouble to find me) & tell me how the time he spent with me was happiest of his life. Then he drops bomb he is married for 9 months but unhappily so, got rushed into marrying girl because her dad was dying & she wanted him to walk her down aisle. Tells me can still feel electricity in our kiss, taste me - I send him back to wife to talk to her - he comes back & says he feels better, but I am all he can think about & he doesnt want to abandon her but he wants to have relationship w/me, then proceeds to get EXPLICIT with me, telling me how he would like to have hours & hours to make love to me & sends inappropriate pictures. He has made me the other woman in his marriage whether I like it or not!! I get mad at him for dragging me into it & demand an apology and he goes to his MOM, lies about it & she calls me screaming at me, threatening me. Did he cheat? What do I do?

My wife and I caught our daughter creating a MySpace account. She is 12 years old. We also learned that at least 1 of her friends has a MySpace account as well. Now, according to MySpace's terms of use, you must be 16 years of age to have a MySpace account. This means that both our daughter and her friend have misrepresented their ages on their profiles. Both of which we have seen when we caught her. Our daughter also eluded to the fact that the parents of her friend knew that her friend had a MySpace account. My question is; should we talk to the other girls parents? Or worry about our daughter and let them handle theirs?

My boyfriend and i made plans for about a week to go shopping for new clothes. Every morning i would try and wake him up to go with me but he would just refuse, claiming he was too tired. So i finally decided i'm not going to wait around anymore and i would just go by myself. well he threw a big fit because he wanted to go and didn't speak to me for the rest of the day. So what do i do with this drama queen?

My best friend (girl) is in love with me, I don't have those kinda feelings thowards her but I do love her as my friend a lot and we are best friends, is it ok to have a relationship like this? or should I try to get distance to prevent from breaking up her heart if I do eventually get a girlfriend... Should i just let it be?? I don't want to hurt her feelings and I don't want to lose her friendship, she seems to have the kinda love for me that wouldn't care If I get a girlfriend as long as she sees me happy with that person, and she doesn't mind not fulfilling her wishes of being with me, but I'm scared that could have long term consequences...
