Here's my problem

I am in love with my best friend, i have talked to her about it and she doesn't want a romantic relationship. The problem is I feel a really strong connection and i am completely overtaken in love, I want to spend my life with her. Knowing she has said she just wants to be friends is something I'm struggling to accept. Should i walk away before i make her life more difficult or is their a way to get this to the next level?
Now theres a few things to note here

1) I have had no previous relationship experience, and many crushes which led nowhere, so im not very experienced or skilled and have a low confidence as a result

2) She is struggling in with her current situation and doesn't need extra stress. This i can accept as a reason if i just know that she would be with me otherwise

3) We are really close friends, I am a godfather to her daughter and know her family well, aswell as her doctors, daycare, etc... Its really hard to accept she loves me as a friend only

Its confusing these days, living in such a liberated and sexual society. How soon is too soon to go all the way with a guy you are dating. Your twenties are fillied with sex, but somehow, a girl cant but help to think of her mothers words, that make want to wait. However sex is a big part of a relationship, an isnt it better to find out the chemistry between to people in the beginning so you dont waste your time? Whats a good time frame? And do people out there still wait for marriage, in 2007 american culture makes it hard and confusing with sex being EVERYWHERE you turn, it makes it look like its the norm to have sex freely.

My father left when I was 7 months old so I have no memory of him. I cannot be ashamed of what my parents did. They made their decisions not mine. 50% of marriages end in divorce so I'd say it is very normal coming from a broken home.

I'm supposed to be going on holiday with a family member next week and we now don't get on. Its only been in the last couple of weeks we've been falling out but its been a major argument and we don't talk to each other now. My boyfriend says to go on the holiday with her and just do my own thing but I don't know if I could do this. Also we have to share a room and shes never been the easiest person to live with so I'm worried it could escalate the argument. I don't want to lose the money I have paid for the holiday either.

He buys alcohol once a week, nothing strong, but enough. I do worry about it, but its not my place to mention it. I am not one to tell people what to do. Long story--short of it--was married before and got hurt emotionally and verbally. No name calling or hitting. Just certain things said. However, I learned to keep my mouth shut.

Yes this girl goes to my boys school and is going to have to get a place on her on. We found her a 2 room house and the rent is $325.00 a month. She gets $400.00 a month beacuse hem mom died a year ago. I was wondering if anybody knew of any help she cold get or anybody willing to help her get started. We help her all we can but we can't do it all. She had to get out because parents were very abusive both mentally and physically and I don't blame her, so if anybody has any ideas please e-mail me. Any help or advice would be good. We have already got her a bed and dresser and night stand to help her. She is staying with us till the 3rd then she is moving in the other house. Thanks very nuch.

He & his wife have been seperated for 5 years. they have two kids together... in the past two months, the Mother was found to be an unfit mother, and there father now has full custody of his two girls 9 &10.. I now find myself in an instant family.. the kids occupy most of his time, and his affection towards me is less because of the lack of time... I know it sounds selfish.. but how do I cope with this? and how do I develope a relationship with his girls and him? what can I do, to insure that he and I keep a strong relationship even though we have a full house now? I feel left out... Anyone else going through this?

Why is it that republican and religious and secular conservatives continue make family values an election issue. The issue of family values and morality was ONE of the hallmark reasons for the Republican take-over of congress and it was also used as a theme during Bush’s first run for office.

Read the list of “hypocrites” below and respond whether or not you think that family values was/is a “SMOKE SCREEN” to win favor and votes


POPULAR SCANDALS


1.Senator Larry Craig, recently pleaded guilty to lued homosexual acts in an Airport. He still defiantly claims that he is not gay.

2.Mark Foley, had phone sex and indecent conversations with male pages.

3.George W. Bush, Republican president, accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later committed suicide. Accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999

4.Senator David Vitter (R-La) who ran a hard-core platform on traditional family values, name was found on a Madams list. He told his constituents that it was a “private issue” and to leave him alone.

5.Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor, had sex with a 16 year old when he was 28.

6.Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in Florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because "The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury."

7.John E. Peterson, Congressman (R-Pa), accused of sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment by six women. Peterson has refused to admit a crime, saying only "I may have been an excessive hugger."

8.Henry Hyde, Judge who oversaw Clinton's impeachment proceedings, prominent opponent of reproductive rights, who had an extramarital affair with a woman who was married and had three children, during the course of which she and her husband were divorced.

9.Newt Gingrich, married three times. Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. Informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments

10.Richard A. Dasen Sr., Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, convicted of sexual abuse of children, promotion of prostitution and several counts of solicitation, enough to add up to a sentence of 126 years in prison


Conservative Personalities and Figure Scandals

1.Paul Crouch Televangelist, Former President of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Paid $425,000 in hush money in an attempt to cover up a gay affair.
2.Ted Haggard, popular conservative pastor who advised Bush on Family Values issues was outed by a male prostitute who also alleged that he gave Haggard drugs.
3.Rush Limbaugh, triple-divorcee
4.Bill O'Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harassment by his producer.
5.Dr. Laura Schlessinger, right wing conservative radio host. Promotes family values, estranged from her mother, opposes birth control, has had her tubes tied, espouses saving oneself for marriage, admits to having had sex before she was married, opposes adultery, has committed adultery while she was married, and has slept with a married man, opposes divorce, is divorced and remarried, has posed for nude photos which are available online.


There are many, many, many more. I know that I am going to be accused of being repub-coserv-basher. I am not, I know the democrats have just as many scandals if not more. However, I think that the whole PLATFORM OF CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES IS A DISINGENIOUS strategy to rally votes and to swing elections. THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES THE FACT THAT NO ONE PRACTICES WHAT THEY PREACH!!!
I also believe that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes, but it is VERY HYPOCRITICAL to impose ideas that these “cultural-icons” don’t keep!
(((What are your thoughts???)))))))

Okay..I love my boyfriend very much..I even moved 20 hours away from everyone I knew to be with him. His last few relationships were really rough and he has a hard time trusting girlfriends,although I have never given him a reason to doubt me. I have never lied to him, Led him on or given him some reason to go "Hmmmm??" But yet he has been acting odd..I asked him if we are going to be okay and he said he didn't know. I asked him why, what is the matter and he said "It's a bunch of Little Things." and that he is doubting "us" but when I pushed him on it he couldnt tell me one thing...
I didnt move here to be with him for this to happen. I dont think Its fair that I am being punished for an ex girlfriend or what ever the problem is..the thing is I dont know what it is. Can someone tell me what the hell to do? I really love this man and want to do what ever I can to make this work. What is going through his mind??

a woman can be so exicted about thier wedding day, they go out and celebrate, their mom's tell stories to their daughters, they have fun picking out all the stuff. but as for guys they act like its the most miserable thing they can do through, their not as happy.

guys is it becuase you finally realize that youre going to be waking up with the SAME woman in bed for 50 years? is it becuase you can't stand the thought of NOT being able to party and lick women's legs and grab their chests anymore? is it becuase the word Commitment frightens you?

and why is it that the guys always have to have a bachelor party, they have to get laid as much as possible before getting married? thats not nice? i dont hear many women doing that

This can be for men and women. The answer doesn't necessarily have to be looks but personality too. Describe what is your idea of sexy.

I have such a bad eating disorder and wish I had will power. I know my husband will not touch me over the fact that all the pregnancy wgt I shed years ago came back. He is mean anyway,lots of times and we all know divorce is hell--even a civil one-if you know anyone who has been there. I would just like to know, for my own self esteem, do other men love through the wgt gain, without cheating or putting the woman down>? (My face is pretty..I swear.) If I knew there were men out there that could accept it, I would just feel more self-confident in my current situation. (Just need to know if I am being too idealistic.)

I just turned 30 and honestly I have never really had much of a sex drive. The only time I feel the "urge" is when I am ovulating. Any other time, I never feel in the mood unless I force myself to do it then I start to enjoy it. Is there anything out there that helps women with this? Men feel urges probably several times a day from what I hear - I want to be that way too. My husband would probably be a lot happier. HELP!!!!

I have some friends mostly guys and they bum rides all the time in my car to the mall etc I asked them to pay some gas money but then I changed my mind and asked them to buy me a few clothes they said ok and I got a cute outfit. my mom freaked and said I was hoaring myself out. I don't understand I did them a favor why not let them buy me a skirt or whatever instead of money for gas? help.

I see all kinds of questions in here so negative about men cheating when women cheat too, and for guys who have been cheated on by their wife or g/f, it hurts just as much for the guys, as it does for the women when they are cheated on.

Just interested to see what you all have to say.
