Family & Relationships - 12 March 2007

I was just wondering about dating... I naturally attracted to beautiful and intelligent women (with beautiful personalities) of any race. I really don't care. I've dated women from different races but when I would date someone outside of my race I would sometimes get hassled. I would even receive harrassment from close aquaintences, friends, and family members. Do you think that I should continue my ways?

Me and my ex have been broken up for a while. I've hardly talked to him and never see him unless I run into him somewhere even then we just say "hi". He always told me that he wanted nothing to do with me and what other choice did I have but to accept it. But he sent me a text that said he still doesn't want to be a part of my life but wished me a happy birthday. Is he just putting up a front and truly misses me? Or does he really want me back and his ego and pride are stopping him? Or am I just crazy?

Ok..im a little confused about something..My fiance was told by the girl he had messed around with before me that she was pregnant.He told her that he wanted a DNA test and that if the baby was his,she could put it on his health insurance and everything..he was willing to step up.Then after that,we dont hear from her.Then we get a phone call one day from her saying that his baby was born two weeks ago.The baby is now over a year old,she still has not gotten a DNA test, the baby does not have his last name,and he is NOT on the birth certificate.And now she is asking him to sign over his rights so the state will help her..We are a little confused here..What rights does he have in the first place if there was no DNA test and he is not on the birth certificate and the child does not have his last name.He has tried to be in the babys life,but she never returned calls and when she did, she would promise to let him see the baby, but never show.Anyone have any advice?? Please dont be rude.

ok, here goes. i'm really short for my age. i live down the block from a girl who has constantly teased me that she's taller. so at the beginning of the school year, we both got measured. she was 5'0.5 and i was 4'9. we agreed that we would get measured again at spring break and whoever was taller at that time would pay for us both to go to a movie. she got measured about an hour ago and she's 5'2 now. my sister says i've grown since the beginning of the year though. who's taller now do you think? will she have to pay up or am i still looking up at her???????

If you overheard a roommate / friend talking to someone on the phone about you - and they said something bad about you as a person - would you confront them about it, or pretend you didn't hear anything, or what?

In this instance, they didn't just say "he always leaves the toilet seat up" or anything stupid like that. It was more along the lines of "I don't think we can trust him not to steal from us" or "I don't feel safe being alone with him."

So, it is something that turns the friendship you thought you had completely on it's head. Now you have to wonder if they are thinking bad things about you all the time. Do you say something? Do you move out? What do you do?

Ok, so I have been married for six monthes, and am pregnant and I am not sure what to do about taking my husband's name, my first name is Italian, and I like my maiden name, but I also like my husband's surname name which is English. I have thought about hyphening the name, just so I can have both.

A couple questions on this: When my baby is born, would they have the hypenated name, or just dad's last name?

What happens to my middle name if I hypenate it?

When my ex and I divorced, we told our child that we were still a family (just a family that lived apart). However, recently, someone went to take our (me, him, our child) photo at a mutual friend's event and he refused. When I asked him why, he said that we would "look like a family" and he didn't want to give the wrong impression to his wife (who wasn't there) in case she saw it. I told him that I felt as though we were a family (a family that lives apart), b/c we are our child's parents and we're our child's family. He tells me he doesn't see it that way. This is bothersome to me in that he acted this way in front of our child and it completely negates what we both told our child in the beginning. (1) Am I off base here for being upset? (2) I feel as though I have no choice but to simply say, "well that's just how he feels" - any suggested discussion points on how to explain how this impacts our child to him? or do you think it doens't affect my child?

What do you do if your approached by a girl who works as a pole dancer at a club comes up to you, say, at a concert where your band is playing, & promises loyalty, faithfulness etc if you love her & be her man.

I want a woman, & I want a good one, but, I need advice here, is this a good idea? Will she be faithful to me? What do you all think? Would love to know what to do.

She seems nice, but, I just want to know, I need advice pls. Thank you!

I have a favorite hangout I go to and have friendships with some of the female staff there, but it could be one way friendships - ie friends only while working. What signs might a waitstaffer give to a guy they're interested in, and what signs might give away a 'not interested'? Assume that some level of affection (either kissing on cheek or hugs or hand holding) or equivalent playfulness has gone on. PS it's a close nit/family business

It turns me on alot when my boyfriend says things like "Do it now! Because I said so! Come here", etc.. If I mouth off or disobey, he slaps my rear or tugs on my hair. He winks or grins, looking into my eyes seductively. That way I know he's roleplaying. He would never hit me in an abusive manner or in aanger. It's all just sexual. But why do I like it so much?

My fiance and I eloped this weekend. We haven't told our families yet, and really hadn't planned on it. We know how much it means to them to see us go through the ceremony. This wedding was just our promise to each other. Are we wrong to do this? .... keep in mind we do have deposits down on our venues, musicians, etc.

I am sleeping with my friends husband (don't call me a home wrecker - she knows and approves) I know that both of them would like the 2 girl thing as well. How do we go from 2 girls and 1 guy to girls together and a guy... We are both sexually submissive females and would not be the agressor. Suggestions?

Ok...so last nite I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't breathe. In my 1/2 asleep state, thought that it was my allergies kicking back in and started to get up to take some claritin. As I started to get out of bed, realized it was hard to get out of bed...then realized that my b/f had his hand covering my mouth and nose and was pushing me down into my pillow.
I managed to shove him away...and slept on the couch the rest of the night. When I confronted him about it this morning, he was crying and telling me that he would "never hurt me intentionally". There is no abuse at work here, he doesn't hit me, and if he ever did I would knock him on his @$$, but just wondering if you think there is something subliminial working here. Any advice?
This really scared the crap out of me and I have told him he is not to come back over to my place until I say he can.

Ok, so after 1.5 year of "friendship" i finally told him we can't play this game anymore. I wanted much more from this guy who flirted with me and then as per his convenience told me he is my friend. So finally i told him if i can't get him the way i want i don't want to keep in touch 'cos i definitely didn't take him just as a friend and so did he at times (know what i mean), When i suggested we stop talking to each other, he agreed, this was in december and in these 3 months i haven't been in touch at all. My birthday came and went away he didn't even bother to wish me which hurt me alot, but... fine i moved on finally. It took a lot of effort to stop thinking of him. In these 3 months he contacted my friend a few times to know what i'm upto. but yesterday, he was very nasty about me n said stuff like why is't she with someone yet? No body wants her? and when my friend said she doesn't find what she is looking for he said tell her 2 be real she won't get a Brad pitt! y's he doing it?

me and this guy use to date but then he decided to break things off becos he felt like he's not ready for a relationship becos of what happened in a previous one. we became really good friends as time went by and i found him as just a friend. he started joking about making out and calling me a good kisser and stuff and then the next time i saw him, we actually did kiss. things changed and it's like the same way we were when we were dating. he hugs me, kisses me but! then he says he can't be in a relationship. are we dating again or what? cos he's kissing me and stuff but everytime i ask him like why are you kissing me he's like do you want me to stop, but he never gives me an exact answer. sometimes it seems like he doesn't even want to talk to me and other days it's different. i think that he just doesn't know what he wants, and then other times i feel like he's just using me. i don't know... but what do i do? i really like him alot and i don't know if he feels the same way about me
