Family & Relationships - 22 June 2007

We are getting married next weekend (6/30), and I cannot come up with a good gift to give him at the wedding... Something under $100 (possibly $150 for a really good gift). I've considered a nice tool set, an accessory box with our wedding date on it, and a watch, but I would like some more ideas!

Scientists are trying to prove that eldest boys are smarter, on average, on standardized tests, etc. than their younger brothers. However, these scientists unfortunately neglect the impact of eldest sisters in this equation. If a family gives birth to one daughter, then has a son, then another son, will the eldest daughter be smarter than her younger brothers, or will the eldest brother be smarter, even though he is not the oldest sibling? Discuss.

I want to look good. Should I wear a thong for my favorite girl to see when we seal the deal? Is that hot on a guy?

This girl is really attracted to me and always seems to want to spend the days "together" in bed, etc. She is a great person and is there whenever I need her. A lot of times she's just suddenly "in the mood" when she comes near me, and it's great. The intimate times are a total thrill...she seems to get very loud and "vocal" with enjoyment every time. We really care about each other, but I can't stand being with someone under false pretenses...I HATE having a skeleton in my closet and I hate to feel I've manipulated a girl, so.......

..should I come clean? What I mean is:

.....should I confess to her that I use Axe body spray for men and Herbal Essences shampoo?

We have been dating for 9 months and have been engaged for 3 months. I have fairly extensive assests in a home and retirement plans, and she has very few assets with no retirement funds. She has been divorced twice and I am a widower. I love her very much, but I am concerned about protecting what I have worked my life for if things don't work out in the future. I have an 18-year-old son by my late wife, and she has 15- and 17-year-old sons from her first marriage. Any advice on how to approach this subject without totally freaking her out?

When I search name change on the web, all I get are sites that want to sell me packages of legal forms for name change. I want to know what office/govt dept takes care of this and if I can apply for the change in person.

Am I wrong. I'd never cheat or even let it get to that possibility. But occassional flirting when I'm at school is fun for me. I guess I'd be considered a tease in that regard, but is it normal to like that attention or should I avoid it???

Thanks everyone. :)

i'm getting married in 6 weeks. my whole life i've always looked at my boyfriend as though there will never be a permanent fix in my life. i think i must have that ingrained in my head pretty deep cuz with my fiance, i sometimes forget that this is for good. he's the one i;m going to grow old with and it's scary sometimes.
sometimes when we fight, i find myself thinking "that's ok. it's not like he'll be around forever." and i'll catch myself thinking that and it shocks me why i think that still towards a man i'm about to marry.
what's wrong w/ me? am i thinking like this is 'cuz i've had this way of thinking for over 15 years of my dating life? or am i thinking this way is cuz he's not the one for me? but i know i love him more than life itself? i really do.
i'm confused???

serious answers only please

This guy I have been dating for 3 months and I like very much banks probably $500 a month after paying his rent. So after food transportation expense, he doesn’t have much. He is foreign and he doesn’t have debt but he doesn’t really have any assets either like house or car or savings of any kind. I’m frugal but I do make good money and I want to do normal stuff like a movie or dinner once a week. I didn’t grow up rich so it’s normal for me to find fun things that are cheap but he mentioned “our going out to restaurants and him paying each time” the other day and it made me really upset because the last time we went out to eat was a month ago and I just got a Cesar salad (not because of money, that’s the only thing I wanted)

Since I'm giving up on women, I just want to know what went wrong and what do I do from this point? How can I live knowing my lovelife is a failure? No rude comments, please. I'm already suicidal as it is. Be humane!

I don't get it sometimes. I feel every single woman on this planet would want me as a boyfriend, but women can not appreciate me or see that I am the perfect boyfriend because my face is the ugliest face on this planet. I would be perfect any woman. Here are the reasons why every woman on this planet would want me as a boyfriend:

-I'd serve breakfast in bed every morning.
-I'd give foot rubs before going to bed.
-I'd cook whatever a woman wanted for dinner.
-When I go out shopping I'd buy a girl whatever she wants.
-I'd grow a rose garden so I will always have a rose to give.
-I would offer a box of chocolates every time a woman wanted chocolate. I would make sure the box of chocolates was always full.
-I'd write at least one love poem for a woman every day.

Do you have any stong morals for yourself that someone else doesnt quite agree with?
Do you have standards set for yourself when it comes to your relationship and the decisions made?
Such as; I am 17 and I have never tried any sort of alcohol, drugs, smoked, and I am still a virgin. I believe strongly in waiting until after marriage. I dont care what other people say about what I believe because I have confidence in making the right choices I have set for myself.
What about you?

I was at my locker and one of my best guy friends came behind me and yelled that through the rush of people.....so I don't know what to think....if he meant that as "I like you as a friend" or more than that......he does flirt with me a lot but still I'm not sure what he meant by it

This guy in my college went to visit is family in China over 6 months ago. (He's never had a girlfriend before.) He was shy, but I could really tell he liked me by his actions. He always stared, smiled, looked me in the eye, was sincere, teased me, etc. (but often looked shy when coming by me).

I gave him my number for him to call after his trip since I've been wanting to know what China is like (since my grandparents are from there.) This seemed to break the ice when I gave him by number. He excitingly said he'd call to tell me all about it. He never did.

Can I assume he lost interest over time or met someone in China? or just too shy? or maybe never knew that I really liked him?
