I did not. Did you?<br /><br />I wonder who came up with that one.....I think varieties of science-fiction were evolving before the name sci-fi ever was coined. It used to be called witchcraft...or magic....perhaps? There are stories in the bible and in the torah and in the koran which could fit into the category of sci-fi...

And if he's not, why would he reach out to her again?<br /><br />Best guess: he is shopping around still. Not to say he isn&#039;t interested, he simply may be checking out the others to compare and contrast before making any commitments. Just don&#039;t be too eager to take him back....let him voluntarily give you his reasons for disappearing....

I really have nothing to be that bored about, but yet I can't remember the last time I woke up excited for something.<br /><br />Boredom is not a mental disorder. However, if you find you feel very little joy, happiness, excitement, you might want to consider looking up &#039;dysthymia&#039;. That is a form of mild, but persistent depression. Chronic boredom is a symptom. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:45:15 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8365769 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8365745 Is he flirting?

I don't intend to act on it but seeing him puts a smile on my face.Is this normal?<br /><br />Normal? Maybe. Common? Yes. The line is drawn in the sand though between right and wrong.

She denied it, we got into an argument, and she left our apartment. Now she's staying with him. She says she sleeps on the couch, but it's been nine days. Is she cheating or not?<br /><br />It doesn&#039;t matter any more. Neither one of you is ready for this relationship because of the lack of trust.

I told her I want my first kiss to be special but she says it's not about kissing. She says that talking all the time on our dates is boring and that I should do something. But what's in between talk and kiss?<br /><br />Holding her hands; stroking her arms; rubbing her neck; rubbing her back;arms around her shoulder; hug; cuddle; nuzzle her neck;your first kiss WILL be special whenever it happens....she is clearly ready. You are not....I wonder why. Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:56:31 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8201022 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8201009 Are my parents overprotective?

Slowly they, hopefully, will slacken off a bit when you approach 14, bit by bit they will test you to see how responsible and sensible you can be without them supervising......One day you will appreciate them because they love you very much.

As you leave you tell your host/hostess.."The food was awful and the others were boring " or "Thank you for inviting me"? Politeness transcends truth sometimes. Should it? Why?<br /><br />There is a line between being brutally honest - and being rude!! Manners rule!

So would you ever write to an author suggesting he/she change the style because you find it difficult to understand?<br /><br />No, never. An author writes from their own point of reference, in their own style. The fact that &quot;I&quot; didn&#039;t get it would be MY problem, not theirs.

It oozes like pus from the pores of those who are hatemongers. They can't smell themselves, but the rest of us can. Will they ever be aware of what/who they really are?<br /><br />Among the other feelings I have for them, is also pity. Think of the joy they miss out on by focussing on &#039;difference&#039; as a negative, rather than a positive!

I think. I think divergently. I do not ruminate on negative things...I am a solution finder and an optimist...so my &#039;thing&#039; in the family (and at work) is to be the &#039;go-to&#039; person for creative resolution...

I know their work is very helpful. Are they insane? Are very brave?<br /><br />Scientists? Yes, some of them.

I believe if an adult develops a &#039;dyslexia&#039; there must have been a brain injury at some time, either a blow or a &#039;stroke&#039; of some...

If you don&#039;t feel that at the beginning of a relationship, it is unlikely it will happen with that person. However, &quot;loving&quot; someone is an entirely...

If you try to play a sport and find you're really lousy at it, do you move on to something else or do you hang in and keep trying until you get good at it?<br /><br />Depends. I am particularly persistent when I am told I can&#039;t, if I don&#039;t agree with the reason or if the reason seems arbitrary. I don&#039;t take NO as an answer unless the rationale makes sense to me.

Charisma attracts others. I think Obama has charisma. I think Clinton had charisma. I think Reagan had charisma. I think G.W. Bush had none.

But if you believe you owe the world something, well then, you will never be let down. What do you think?<br /><br />That sounds like a parallel to J.F.K.&#039;s exhortation &quot;Ask not what your country can do for you.....but what you can do for your country&quot;.... Ask not what the world owes you, but what you owe to.....etc. I believe I owe the world my best effort.....I believe in &#039;the power...
