I think I like this girl. We can talk about anything under the sun. I was attracted to her looks at first but later got to know that she's beautiful (outside and inside), straightforward and is a nice girl.

Is there any way she could like me? She had made some really nice comments about me that no one else had ever did. She said I was the "cool" kind of people and that she likes me, as a friend. But am I thinking too much because maybe she was just trying to be nice?

I'm admit that I'm boyish (appearance). Many people had said that before. But I can be really shy towards people. I'm a girl. I don't dare to ask her if she likes me because I don't want this to ruin our friendship. What can I do? Am I becoming a lesbian?

And also, a friend of mine revealed to me that he likes me, 2 years ago. He still does. But I just couldn't accept him. I don't know why! There's like a barrier that I can't cross over to...

So please, anyone. Help me. I'm really confused.

I dont want this to sound racist (it probably will, but not purposely), but personally, it seems to me like "black people" think America owes them for what their ancesters went through. I was watching Judge Hachett and she said black people should stop all the crime acts and things because she thinks their ancesters would look down on it and I actually agree with her. Obviously it isn't just black people commiting crime in our country but as someone who moved from New England to South Carolina... I've never been around this many colored people and seen so many shootings, robberies, welfare frauds, gang activity etc. I also don't think people should look up to ebonics and TRY to talk like that. It shows poor education and our country is better than that. I was in the OB office yesterday and a black lady asked me "How many weeks you is??" Sorry, but that sounded SO AWFUL! Black people can read, write and go to school now so why do they keep up with this awful language? Are they proud?

& don't tell me it's because such things fall under "miracles", "blessings" &/or "gifts of god" because the way i interpret it is in these following examples
miracles - causing the blind to see
blessings - helping the blind, like seeing eye dogs
gifts of god - any form of talent.
thus leaving little room to explain clairvoyance, & such things of similar nature.
also, upon doing some research, i found that Judaism (the root religion where christianity comes from) has the kabbalah, which is a form of jewish mysticism.
there are other examples too, just look them up yourself, i just point out some of the things that fascinate me, & ask why.

Let’s assume Peter Pettigrew kept his loyalty toward the Marauders and Order of Phoenix. As the Secret Keeper, he never sold James Potter and Lily Evans to Lord Voldemort, neither did he ever change his allegiance to the Death Eaters.
What would happen to Harry Potter then?
What would happen to Harry’s entire life and adventure in Hogwarts?
What would happen to Neville Longbottom and his family?
What kind of Wizardry and Muggle world Harry’s family and friends would face then?
How about the Dursleys?
Would Harry ever notice about them had his parents never been murdered by the Dark Lord himself?
What about the Marauders (James, Sirius, Remus, Peter), Lily, and Snape’s relationship?
What would happen to Order of Phoenix and Death Eaters?
What would Lord Voldemort do then to fulfill the prophecies?

Anyway, thanks for your all feedbacks here....

There has been much debate on the necessity of Niqab (veil worn my Muslim women). Doesn't the Holy Quran and Hadith say Hijab (headscarf without a veil) is enough?

Can you use the phrase 'put to shame' with innanimate nouns? I came across it on the Internet but somehow it doesn't feel right.

Sometimes at the beginning of one of our dates I won't be so attracted to her and by the end it wears off (no alcohol involved!). There are other times though when I don't like certain physical features she has (her nose mainly...it has characteristics of a pigs nose). I do love her though...I really do. Last summer I was with a different girl who I was really attracted to but turned out to be a complete psycho. My current gf is nothing like that and I know she loves me so much and would do anything for me. The only problem is sometimes I'm not attracted to her. Does this just happen to a lot of people after dating for a while? This is my first serious relationship.

only 4% of the world population is redhead and even smaller
percent is women.

REDHEADED WOMEN ARE GORGEOUS

Also girls, dont cover your freckles PLEASE.
They are unique and beautiful, other girls
are jealous because they look ordinary. : D

Is there anything bad about masons, has anyone heard about family problems, that came because of the membership there, any unpleasant career changes or anything else, like this?
My boyfriend has joined them and considering I have had an unpleasant experience with a sect when I was little, I honestly regard masons as a sect too. My boyfriend believes they are just very nice people, but I sense something is wrong inside there and just hate him being there.
