Answer to:
It's been a year of back and forth of if we are going to be in a relationship. In the end, her reason for not having one is, "I see us together and having a great life, but something is missing and we should just be friends..but I'll still like you." WTH? The back and forth is ultimately someone (probably her) being a waffle. She's finally come to some assessment that you aren't the one for her for whatever reason. Drop her - it's over. There are plenty of good women out there that will appreciate a good man. Move on my brother.

Answer to:
I was very hurt a couple months ago by a break up so I slept around 'like a man'. I met someone a couple weeks ago and he wanted to wait to have sex, but I pressured him into it. Now I think i'm ready to like him, but he is turned off. What to do? First of all you slept around like a woman. Ya'll just aren't as honest about it. Pressuring him into sex I'm sure wasn't that hard since the woman in our view is the gatekeeper. You are responsible for saying no until it's the right time. Sorry but that's the way it is. Now if your giving away that key to easy and allow a man to take you, you have to know that...

Answer to:
Men? WHY would you have a "severe problem" if your fairly new girlfriend said she would not trust a man as far as she could throw them? That's how I feel but this guy that I'm seeing takes insult to it & I don't understand. He hasn't lived my life Would you be ok with him telling you I don't trust you once you leave my sight? That's what you said to him. It says to me that you have been hurt and your scars are affecting how you deal with anyone that may be in your future relationships. These men have nothing to do with the men that have been in your past. Trust is a fragile thing that must be developed and grown over time in...

If he said these exact words you need to "fix this" by dumping a boy who has no care for your feelings. If he actually said it nicely though, you could use the muscles that you use the bathroom (the contracting of the vagina muscles)and when your having sex try using those muscles, he won't be complaining but you might. Most men can't last very long when the vagina...

How should I tell my dad that when I go out with my friends I drink, in a way that lets him know I'm mature enough to keep doing it? If you can legally drink then you shouldn't have to worry about telling your dad about it at all, it will just worry him anyway. If you can't buy alcohol yourself then stop doing it before you become a DEAD child to your father who you obviously care about enough to ask this question. You aren't mature enough to handle knowing if the kid you are getting in the car with or...

Answer to:
My boyfriend and I "pull out" instead of using condoms. How can I make this more fulfilling for him? To reference another answer a little, you should use condoms. There are good condoms out there that don't ruin the experience. Try them out until you find one you like. This way he can be 'fulfilled' by not having to stop and pull out and you can be protected. If he is pulling out he is probably not doing it in time because most men can't feel the pre-cum that contains...

Answer to:
I want to have sex with my boyfriend because I love him, but I'm scared at the same time. Should I go through with it? If you have reservations about doing it then no you should not do it. There should never be a rush to have sex with someone. If it's your first time it most likely won't be enjoyable for you anyway. You should wait until you know you are with someone that will be patient and take his time and will use a condom. Otherwise it will be awful and you might start thinking you hate sex....

Answer to:
Why are people willing to pay much more than list price for the just-released Xbox 360? That's a tough question as it depends on the person doing the buying as to why. I would suppose that it is the same reason why people will wait in line for hours to be the 'first to own one'. This is not the all encompassing answer of course because the person could be buying it as a gift for their child and that someone may think they need to get their child one for Christmas...

Answer to:
I have a house plant that looks like a large leafed ivy with solid green leaves. A sticky substance comes out when you touch it or break off a leaf, and it's hard to get off your fingers. What is this plant? This description sounds exactly like my rubber tree plant. This is a very good plant for the indoors.

Answer to:
I like this girl a lot, and she likes me and another guy, but she's going through a breakup right now. Should I wait around even though she could go out with the other guy? No, never put your life on hold for anyone. It's nice that she's honest enough to let you know that she likes you both so everyone knows what's going on. Another words if you date her, do it knowing youwill not be the only one dating her.

How can I make my nails grow faster? I'm no expert at this at all but I remember a lady in junior high showed us about pushing our cuticles back to promote nail growth. I remember being surprised the following week how much my nails grew on the one hand that I performed the experiment on but not on the other. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. This 'may' be because I was in the age group listed...

Does using the defroster in a car lower your gas mileage? Yes. Using anything like the A/C, Heater or the Defroster will use more gas because that causes the engine to work harder. Do a self test. Fill up your tank and run the A/C or Heater all the time until you reach the halfway mark on your tank. Check the miles. Fill up your tank again and run your car without the A/C or Heater - (Defroster) running at all. Mark your miles half way...

Answer to:
My girlfriend would like to try sex with another girl and is happy for me to watch, but we've been told that it could destroy our relationship. Why is this? It could destroy your relationship because fantasy is always better than reality. It may sound exciting but the moment you decide to do something with the other woman in the room or the day your girlfriend decides she doesn't need you to watch and is doing it without you, the trust that you share gets tarnished and possibly cracked beyond repair. Take some time to discuss with your...

A 17 year-old girl I know is dating a 36 year-old man. Is this something to be concerned about? Yes. Be concerned and tell her parents about it. If this girl is your friend you will take action quickly to protect her. When you tell her parents tell both of them at the same time everything that you know regarding this man. He's a child molester.

If a teacher says she will go on a date with you if you asked her out does this mean she loves me? I'm hoping this means college teacher and not high school. Either way it's inappropriate. The answer to the question is no, it doesn't mean she loves you. She's flirting with you.

Answer to:
How do I open the walls of communication between two people who are scared of opening up about their feelings? Personally I don't think you should get involved. If they both don't want to open up then they aren't ready. Pushing them to might cause a loss of friendship with one or both of them.

Answer to:
At the grocery checkout, after you have placed your items on the conveyor, is it courteous to place the plastic divider after your load, or should you let the next person do it? The divider is there for your convenience as well as the person behind you so that the checker doesn't start ringing up the others merchandise on your ticket and then you get held up. I actually never looked at it as being courteous, it saves me a hassle. Now if there is no one behind me and I've been waiting on the cashier to ring up my groceries, then someone comes up later and...

Answer to:
If a person is standing back looking at shelves/display in a store and you must pass in front of them, should you say "excuse me" as you do so? If you need them to move to get by then yes you should. Otherwise I'd say you could walk by without saying anything and be perfectly fine.

If you're in a public restroom, and someone goes into the next stall and starts throwing up, what should you do? Thanks for the input. My response was to leave the room immediately. I'll probably ask the person if they are ok first now.

Should lawn maintenance people be tipped? My definitive answer is NO! You pay them for doing a job and they do it for the price you agreed to. Do you get tipped for doing your job at work? I don't. The only person that actually should be tipped is a waiter at a restaurant who depends on your tips for his wages. This is why a waiter 'should' be giving you good service to earn his wage. Anyone else you are tipping is...

I was ready to break up with my boyfriend, and before I could, he asked me to marry him. How do I break up with him now? Well my first response is why is there a question hanging in the air? It seems to me to be that this moment would have been the perfect time to end it if you were going to break up with him. I hope you didn't say yes you would marry him if you were about to break it off! If you said no that should have been the end of it. If you said yes... stop leading him on and wasting your time...

I tried to break up with my fiance but he wont take no for an answer. How can I break up with him? You said fiance not boyfriend so I'm taking it you said, "yes I'll marry you" at some point. Unless he's done something red-flagish like being physically abusive to you or to himself (drugs/alcohol) I would advise looking closely at yourself as to why you said you would marry the man. On the 'won't take no for an answer' I'm sorry but that's...

My girlfriend is breaking up with me because of her parents. How can I convince her that she should break up with me if she wants to, but not just because somebody tells her to? If she said I'm breaking up with you because my parents are making me... then her parents are still her guardians and have the right to tell her and you that you can't see each other. When she turns 18 and moves out of her parents house, then you can see each other all you like. If her parents don't approve of you she may just be going out with you because the parents don't...

Answer to:
How can I end a relationship with my boyfriend without breaking his heart? There is no good way to end a relationship. You can try being nice as possible about it but they will still be hurt and angry or upset with you because they are being rejected by you. This is ok. As long as you know you were civil and kind about it, you will be able to look yourself in the eye and know you are a good person.

Answer to:
What are some of the worst ways to end a relationship with someone? Curious question. Are you wanting to break up with someone in the worst possible way, and really hurt them? That answer for me is coming home to hear what sounds like screaming but turns out to be some wild sex they are having in my living room. That's the most cowardly, hurtful thing that someone can do their partner in my opinion.

I want to break up with my girlfriend of four years. We live together, and she doesn't think anything is wrong. How do I do this without it becoming nasty? After the sit down and the tactful explanation of how you feel you've done everything you can think of and just are not happy in the relationship... set a date with her on when she needs to move out. Tell her it needs to be soon (30 days or less) after the talk because you don't want things to become nasty. If you don't set a quick move out date things will probably get nasty...

Answer to:
After a breakup, when do you know you're ready to be involved in a relationship again? A common rule of thumb is to give yourself a month for every year you were together. I would also recommend that you enjoy being alone, that is enjoy your own company until you know that you have all those feelings reeled in before you decide you want to start looking again. Falling for someone right after a breakup is caused by not giving yourself time to do this.

I have been in a casual relationship for nearly 4 years, he recently told me he considers us not just having sex but making love.. What does that mean? That he loves me? Since you have known each other for 4 years, I believe this means he actually cares for you, however unless he looks you in the eyes and says I love you outside of the bedroom, I don't think there is anything to be excited about here. What he has said to you is just a way of differentiating sex with you than with some stranger at a bar. Making love is different than that because you...

Answer to:
How do you fall out of love? Falling out of love happens when we are angry, upset, or hurt by the person that we love. In that moment of unhappiness, you can be angry and still love someone but at that moment you are probably not feeling love and thus 'out of love' is what you feel has happened. Falling back in love is always a choice. We choose to love again and again or we can choose not to. That's why...
