Recently I broke up with my ex because I was felt I was second in his life to everything else. We tried to get back together and it was excellent. The problem was that he was moving into a new home, dealing with two business, his ex and a new relationship with myself.

I ran into him about two weeks ago. We cried and he even wiped the tears from my face. We hug four times and each hug lasted more than 5 minutes. Just when I thought I had him out of my system; he calls me last night. We spoke for about 30 minutes until his cell battery went out.

He ask me to call him and indicated that what happen was just on a misunderstanding and that he wasn't trying to blow me off. I'm not sure now if he wants to be friends or want more. It's so hard and hurts so painfully to be around him and not be able touch him. I'm crying at my desk as I write this. I just thought I had bury the emotions erected from our union. Help what should I do?

I dropped out because I was paying $52 for a magazine and a flimsy membership card; that was it. Went to a few meetings, but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I’m used to a life on bare soles: I haven’t worn shoes since December 2000 (with a few exceptions!) and I don’t think I’ll EVER imprison my feet again! I’ve been walking barefoot since my schooldays, but not every day, not everywhere… It was a winter morning back in 2000, just after Christmas: I was ready to board my flight to India. My feet were already bare while I was waiting for the train which would take me to the airport. The air was a bit chilly, and I noticed a couple of people, staring at my feet, obviously unable to believe what they saw: A pair of bare feet, decorated with a leather-anklet and a shiny little toering… I didn’t know that I was about to leave Europe for good, returning only occasionally for short visits. But I was ready for the big adventure: Spending many month on the road, exploring almost every nook and corner of India on my bare soles – from Kanyakumari to Gangtok and from Gujarat to West Bengal… It was SO much fun! I didn’t even carry any shoes in my backpack, and soon, my soles were tough as leather! Finally, the unexpected happened: I managed to settle down in India! I’ve been able to live my life barefoot ever since… Has anybody else decided to live barefoot, to stop wearing shoes, never wearing them again?

I’m from Germany but I’m living in India – it’s almost six years now that I’ve left Europe for good – and I’m used to a life on bare soles: I haven’t worn shoes since December 2000 (with a few exceptions!) and I don’t think I’ll EVER imprison my feet again! INDIA – it still means: Bare feet EVERYWHERE, especially in rural areas and the South, but also in cities and parts of the North! And I don’t think that will change within a lifetime! Half of the people in my neighbourhood (a typical “mixed area” with modern houses and traditional enclaves side-by-side) are barefoot throughout the year! Dusty bare feet, immune to the heat of summer, to sharp gravel and other hazards are a common sight, so common that you’ll hardly notice them anymore after a month or so. It’s true: I’m still getting attention for my lack of footwear, but not because I’m barefoot but because I’m a FOREIGNER (“ferengi”) who is barefoot! And reactions are almost always positive… I don’t think my Indian neighbours are walking barefoot ‘cause they can’t AFFORD shoes: Flip flops are available for less than 1 Euro, and if those 50 Rupees would really matter for them - well, in that case you wouldn’t see people riding their bicycle barefoot! But there are many… My impression: It’s not about poverty, it’s their CHOICE to live without shoes – these people feel it’s UNNECESSARY to imprison their feet! Is there anyone from India, from Asia reading this? Or from any other corner of our world where kids grow up barefoot and don’t have to surrender to the pressure of a shod majority once they’re adults? Any expat who’s lucky enough to live in a place like India, a place where bare feet are still normality? What do you think: Is it a sign of poverty or a personal choice to live barefoot?

People think a woman is friends with a gay man because they are one of the girls. That is not true. I like a gay man because of who he is I do not think of him as a girl. I do not think of him romatically, but not as a girl. I feel like he is a third type of friend. How do you feel about your female friends if you are a gay male? My boyfriend is great because he is secure in himself and not affraid of gay people. I currently do not know any gay people exept my mom and her partner. My other friends moved. I just want my mom to be happy.

Who do you link of your female friends as. Are they like family to you?

ORU is one of the world's largests Christian Universities, one that is know for hating GLBT's.
I starting working here through a temp agency, not know what kind of university it was. Five years later, I still work here.
My partner is extremely upset that I still work here. I don't like not being my full self at work either, but should I quit simply because the place I work for would fire me if they knew I were gay?

A friend showed me this news clip that he found online: http://yourdailymedia.com/media/1138100985

To me, they seem like they're taking ethnic pride too far and are brainwashed by their mother.

What do you think? Is 13 (are they 13?) too young to be a true "Nazi" or do you think they truely believe and support the ideals?

I met a woman I really like a lot a few weeks ago, and she is as interested as I am in pursuing a relationship. The one thing that I have reservations about is her tendency to dominate conversation. I think her profession may play a big part in it. She's a communications director for a major corporation, and much of her work involves writing press releases, giving interviews and making speeches. So, people are always asking her opinion, and she's very intelligent, well read, and articulate. Well, so am I, which is one of the main reasons we were drawn to one another. But I am getting frustrated by the fact that our "dialogues" seem to turn into monologues. Without realizing it, she can be dismissive of the thoughts and input of others. She can come across as someone who thinks there's nothing anyone can tell her that she doesn't already know, and that she knows whatever it is better than they do. I really don't think she means to be this way, but am not sure how to broach the subject.
