What if a guy called you up, someone you knew, and told you that he wanted to be friends with you because his instincts tell him that you're a great person and he doesn't want to pass this oppurtunity.
How would you react?

I asked a question a few minutes ago and got some really good answers. I added some details to the question, but I got most of my answers before I did...so here is anothe rpart. The other woman made SURE I knew about her...even though she is hundreds of miles away. She told me all kinds of things...she claimed to be pregnant....weeks later when I was thinking more clearly I asked her for proof and she said she lost the baby and did not have any, I would just have to take her word for it. She also claims she had an abortion early (like the first few weeks) of their affair for him...I asked for proof...she said she would send it but never did. She said they had sex everyday morning and night. He has admitted to the affair but said over the 9 months he was away they had sex maybe 10 times. I dont know who to believe. I think that it one reason I dont know how to move on all the time. I feel like I dont know what the truth is. I want to believe him, but she has put so much doubt in myhead

I haven't been in a relationship for a couple of years. I met this guy and am extremely attracted to him. I don't want to give it to him too fast because I want to get to know him - but it has been a VERY long time since I've been...you know....there. What do you guys think about how long you should wait before getting intimate?

We had a good relationship...I later learned eventhough he didn't share his feelings with me through communications and told me don't worry about it....the day came when he exploded and wanted to end it! told me I did nothing wrong....just wanted to end it. Now after a year (due our sports club having to see him 6x's a week) he still can't hardly look at me or speak to me ...maybe just a weak hey...thats it. i was told after the break up by a friend he didn't have the same feelings for me as in the beginning (who does) but why after all this time (and he never got into another relationship) why can't he talk to me...???? I have tried...opened the door many times he keeps it closed...but why?

I am "in love" with a guy and he loves me too. It kinda feels like he is moving too fast. We have only been dating for like5 months and he already is talking about moving to college with me. I am kinda freaking out. I feel myself starting to pull away. Plus there is this other guy who i really like but I'm not even sure if he likes me. But we kinda held hands and openly flirted even though I am not single. He is cute and cool, but do I just like him becuz I am afraid to commit with my bf?

I've worked closley with a girl for a bit now and we are always flirting. She very nice to me and there are alot of sign that she is in to me. The other day we were working and everything was fine. After bugging her a little bit she got cold on me and kept telling me I was mean. I wasn't really being that mean, if anything I was bugging her because I didn't want her to know how I really felt. I always joke with her like this and she doesn't seem to get mad. She also tried to put me down and belittle me ( i can be pretty cocky sometimes). After, we were joking around a little bit and she kept telling me I was cute. Everything was fine. Then she hit me with it- and told me that I was annyoing but it's ok because I make her laugh. I know I can be annoying at times, and feel i was being more annoying because i had my feeling for her on my mind. Now i'm not sure if she really thinks i'm annoying or she just said that because she knows how I feel and won't tell her.

Do you think it's possible to have a real friendship with someone over the internet, or do you need to have them in the "real world" to consider them anything more than just acquaintances?

If in a committed relationship with a woman you love, how many of you guys out there have visited brothels etc, and/or been privvy to paid for sex and then cheated on your partner? Don't bother with witty stupid or one line answers plse. I want honest, informative answers ie. your motivation and feelings toward the topic.

im only in 15 so this question will seem trivial to many of you, but to me its a great concern so please try to be sensitive to the issue.
i have two best friends. a boy and a girl. i had a relationship with the boy, but then we broke up(i know, it was a stupid thing to do)we arent together because we cant stop arguing (among other stuff) but i cant stop thinking about him and i know he feels the same about me, but it wont work and we both know that. i think that we just need to spend time apart. i guess the problem is that we cant move on because of the other friend. it wouldnt be fair to let her choose and neither of us want to lose her. she is both of our best friends. i've known her for longer but no matter what our feud is i dont want to be so mean as to force him to just go away. its a very delicate issue and i dont want anyone to get hurt any more. to top it all she doesnt know about us so we wouldnt even know how to explain the situation. what do you think we should do?

I just got in contact with a man I was in love with some years ago. The situation wasn't right at the time so we had to break it off. He called me once then I tried calling him and couldn't reach him. Why would he e-mail me instead of calling me? Does he not want to see eager or do you think he is uninterested in me? Or is he afraid to talk to me?

I am married and I just agreed to an open relationship. My question is this: has anyone ever been in an open relationship before? Are you still in one? Did it turn out bad? I need some advice.

The father of my children moved in with me almost 6months ago "unemployed" an still not working. He takes the kids to & from school. At first he used to do things around the house and he enjoyed cooking 4 us and it was really nice!! Lasted a couple months now rarely cooks,ect .I know and am willing to accept he is not a tidy person but I feel he does'nt work so he should put in the effort. He plays an online game everyday and at night and is "addictied" I love him so much and i have not doubt he loves me, he assures me everyday?? I have told him several times that i need him to go find at least a part time job to pay for utilities and food. (he likes his beer!) I don't want to be his mom and nag.He used to make 50k a year and is inteligent & also a loving dad. How can i stand up for myself within reason? I really want to work this out!

From a mans point of view what do you think he may be experiencing.

From a women point "am i blind"?

What time limit should i give & goals?

Along the lines of...
"My Best Friend" - Alan Jackson
"She's Everything" - Brad Paisley
"It Just Comes Natural" - George Strait

And there can be some honkytonk songs too. I'm a country girl and I want my wedding reception to be rowdy :P

A recommendation for a first dance song would also be good. I'm not looking for anything too mushy.

Thank you!
