  • Weird to send guys flowers?

    Singles & Dating - 4 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Guys, how would you feel if your girlfriend sent you flowers to your work place? Would you be embarrassed? I want to send my man flowers for two reasons. 1) As a thank you for sending me flowers last week. 2) He's been having a really rough time at work and I really just want to cheer him up a little. I was thinking if I sent him flowers on Monday, he could keep them at his desk the whole week and maybe brighten his week a little. I'm thinking more along the lines of a plant.. a bonsai or a potted orchid or something like that. I've never sent guys flowers before though.. would his friends/co-workers make fun of him and tease him? I would ask him but I want it to be a surprise! :D

  • I lost a friend due to an argument?

    Friends - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Im hispanic, and I was hanging out with my friends. We were talking about culture, and ended up talking about mine. One of them asked for a Cuban dish name, just out of curiosity. A gave them one called "ropa vieja", which means old clothes. They then started saying I eat clothing. At first we were all just joking around, but then one of them started insulting me for eating clothing and how retarded I was. I explained to them it was just some shredded meat with seasonings. Well one of them just kept saying I eat clothing. They all agreed with him. He thinks cuz its called that, it means its clothing. I said it means nothing. I gave him examples, like a hot dog, or elbow pasta. They're called that, but the're not actually dogs or elbows. So he was getting mad and started calling me names. I told him to prove his argument but he just kept saying I eat cothing cuz thats the dish's name. I told him no I dont. He really wasnt proving me wrong at all. He then started saying I dont make any sense and that Im just making excuses for what I said. He was really mad. He wanted me to say I eat clothing, but I didnt cuz I dont. I then told him there is no point to this because he was being ignorant refusing to listen to what I said, and he wasnt proving anything at all. He then called me a bunch of stuff and said he doesnt want to see me again. He walked away. So what are your thoughts on this?

    School is now over, but Im wondering about this thing that happened with this girl in one of my classes.We usually had small talk in the halls after class;and she was kind of quiet. I'll probably see her next school year. Anyway, one day we were assigned groups in class, and we ended up in the same group, and she sat next to me.We didnt really talk, cuz we werent allowed to talk; we were just doing our work. After a few minutes passed, I had my arm resting on my desk. I then notice that she quickly hits on my elbow with her elbow;she did it kind of hard. I didnt think much of this. After about 2 min later,I still had my arm resting on my desk and she did it again, but this time, a bit hader, making it really noticable. But she just kept doing her work all quiet. Does this mean anything?

    I am 16 and i have a two year old son, with i guess you could say girlfriend who just turned 20. I want to do this because she treats me like crap, and she makes me want to kill myself. I feel so trapped and worthless and helpless. My mom is a single mom and she has been really supportive and everything. And i know it is wrong for wanting to do this but i don't know what else to do. I don't want to be around her anymore and i feel like this is the only way, HELP!!!

  • I like this guy? Help... Please... I'm crying left and right...I don't know what to do...?

    Ughh...I guess I like this guy to start it off. I don't know what I should do anymore. In summer school, he make everyone laugh and stuff and he's nice I guess and he's always smiling for some reason. His birthday is coming up to...So I was thinking to cream him in the face with cake... But when I went on AIM and talked to him...He completely ignored me for the past 5 days??. Until just a few moments ago, I said "Could you just talk to me for 30 seconds? I just want to ask you one question." Him: ..? "When's your birthday?" Him: I'm not telling you. "Please?" Him: *Ignores* "Fine, i'm pretty shure your birthday is coming up soon so I'm gonna do something to you" Him: *Ignores* "Did I do something wrong? Cuz It seems like you hate me or something." Him: Ignores* "Ummmm..Oh wellsss whatever Ima do it anywayssss. ;DDD Can't stop meeeee." Him: Ignores* "Umm...Should I do this or not? Cuz I feel bad right now. Answerrr yes or no D:" Him: Well you can start off not spamming me. "..Oh..Umm..Sorry..." And after that I went invisible and both of us said nothing else... Did I do something wrong? Cuz I can't stop crying right now. I think he hates me now. (By the way..He's a Cancer and I'm a Gemini and I researched that Gemini's kinda intimidate Cancer. And they don't really know how to express themselves towards other people. They have a really hard time doing it. So after I researched that I felt really bad and started crying... 1. Do you think he hates me? 2. Should I go on with the idea and cake him? (Try and answer if you answered number 2 with a "yes": What else should I give him? 3. What should I do now? Ignore him? Keep chattering? I'm really confused..What should i do? 4...I don't know what else... And extra info would be nice... Thanks... :/... Btw..In real life he's not mean at all just to clear things up. He always stare at me for some reason. And he smiles all the time and stuff. And he's funny and stuff. And the cake thing? I kind of really want to do it cuz in school, he's the type that laughs and make otehr people laugh like crazy, He's pretty funny. So I'm guessing if I cake him he's just gonna laugh and smear it and like put it on me or something? Cuz I can imagine him do that.(80%) But I can also imagine him being like wtf..and stuff. (20%) When I mean cake..I kidna just mean getting a plate and pile it with whipped cream and smashing it on his face but like not ALL over just like a little smash... If you've been in a situation like this, tell me what you ended up doing and if you did cake the guy did he laugh and smile and stuff? Thanks ALOT. <333 (i know i should stop asking but i crave for more answers like real bad. x]) I'd love longggggg answerss.
  • Would you find it difficult to date a girl much younger than yourself?

    Singles & Dating - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I met this girl a while back but never considered being with her mainly because, of our age difference. We could tell that feelings were emerging and I admitted to her that I was starting to like her but I would definitely not allow it to go further. I stood my ground and then I wavered and then I fell. I did try though. Now we are in love but the age difference is still on my mind. She seems to have no issue with it. Could you, as the older person be comfortable with it? I will post our ages below. Me 44/m.....Her 19/f I see all of your points and understand your reactions. This is difficult. However, Justagirl, you are telling me what I was hoping to hear:)

The Man Whisperer

...

By Tatiana Polevoy
The Man Whisperer

Who hasn’t dreamed of being able to train their man? Now you can, with our guide to getting him to do what you want—without him even knowing it! Here are the five easy steps to making your man sit, stay, and yield. We know you’re eager to get started, but before beginning any training regime, there are a few rules you need to know:

*Be subtle. Don’t order—suggest. Try “Honey, I think the grass could use some cutting”, rather than “Honey, why aren’t you out cutting the grass right now?”
*No bargaining allowed. Never offer to reward your man with money and/or sexual favours in exchange for a good behaviour.
*Be confident and don’t let him try to walk all over you.
Y
ou’re the man whisperer and he’s the man!

Step 1: “Play nice, honey!”
Never allow a man to push you around, scream at, or threaten you. Your partner’s respect is non-negotiable—not just for you but for your family and friends, too. For most of the male species, this shouldn’t take too long to instil; in the finest specimens, respect is innate.

Step 2: “Stay, sweetie!”
What could be more useful than getting your man to stay when he wants to run away—usually from dinner with high school friends, bra shopping, family brunch on New Year’s Day, etc. Teach your man the advantages of obeying this “suggestion”: meeting your old friends will deepen his understanding of you, shopping for bras together means going home with lingerie you both like, and attending family dinners means tasty food in his tummy. Make sure he understands the advantages of staying put, and you won’t even have to force him!

Step 3: “Time for a play date!”
Your man also needs a certain dose of liberty. Just as we like to see wild animals roaming free, we also like to see our man lapping up a well-deserved beer with his buddies. Even the strictest trainer has to let her man off his leash sometime—so what if that means football on the TV and nachos in his food dish? Letting him enjoy his liberty will make it easier to train him.

Step 4: “Bad boy!”
If your man misbehaves, then you have to let him know—subtly, of course. If your man leaves you a surprise on the carpet, let him know you’re displeased—don’t just scowl and keep your displeasure in check. Sulking is the least effective weapon in your arsenal. Instead, sit down with your partner and—without yelling or frightening him—address the issue calmly and quietly.

Step 5: “That’s a good boy!”
Positive reinforcement works well with most breeds of men. Know how to reward your man when he’s performed well. Did he make you dinner? Tell him how much you enjoyed it. If he gives you a massage, give him one, too. Treats and extra petting can go a long way.

Following our five steps should get your man doing your bidding without his even knowing it. But always remember that you’re both equal partners in your relationship. And don’t forget; your honey could be reading a similar article in a men’s magazine right now, getting ready to try out five easy techniques for keeping you in line.

But that’s just wrong!
