  • Should I have done this?

    Okay, so over the years my best friend has had a really great boyfriend - or so we thought. I'm regretting it a little since I got myself involved, but what he did to her was really horrible and the way it ended wasn't good at all. I'm not going to dive too deep into the details of what happened, but since I'm trying to help my friend cope I came up with a silly and stupid ploy to do for revenge. Apparently he cheated on her with this asian girl, and I feel cruel for doing this but I photoshopped his head onto a body of a Geisha... LOL!!!!! Stupid and immature, but my best friend Jenna needed a good laugh. We're debating whether or not we should send him and that girl the photo on Myspace or Facebook, but I'm kinda scared to, haha. What do you say? I think he deserves some embarrassment... Original picture - http://i45.tinypic.com/2d9bfo0.jpg Geisha makeover - http://i45.tinypic.com/142ubn8.jpg Hahaha, it's official. I am awesome. <3

  • Do you ever listen to girls conversation? What kind of things do you hear?

    I overheard some girls talking when I was walking through the hallway. I know this is sneaky and the fact that I was behind a door is different than sitting down somewhere and listening to people talk to try to talk to them or you just happen to be there. I have no experience with girls.....I never been on a date and I never had a girl that was really a friend...more like acquaintances or short term people I associate myself with I guess i'm just trying to figure them out since I can't seem to get a date

  • How to deal with nights like tonight?

    Singles & Dating - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Perhaps I've seen one to many horror movies about a teen girl home alone but im genuinly scared right now. Im only 14 but my mom lives an hour away and my dad works nights! He started working nights like during the summer but i was never worried because i was always 1 mile away from my grandparents and my aunt so i knew they could be here in a matter of minutes. either that or on nights he had to work i'd just spend the night with them. But tonight my dad wont be back for hours and my aunt is out of town and my grandparents went out to eat with some long lost relatives ( i was not invited ) so im very paranoid as you can tell. Every noise freaks me out (which there are many because even though its the country i live in a busy neighborhood. how do i deal with this? all my family is either at dinner 30 min away and no where near ready to finish, out of town on buisness or (my moms side of the family) lives 4 states away!! IM ONLY 14!!! I talked to my dad but he wont work days so i have to deal with it but my aunt is a cop and this city isnt exactly safe so please help me!!! How do i get through the night without being scared?

    So earlier today, this guy asked me out. Hey guess what! we're going out now ! Now, I'm going through some problems. I'm bengali[if you don't know what that is, loook it up foool!] and hes black. so we're completely different, I dont know why he'd go for a girl like me . But I really really like him. Its being so awkward for me , and Im not racist, but its playing around with my hormones; getting me mad, some of his black friends come up to mee & they're like; "dayymm , didn't know you liked niggaaas" I try to ignore them. But also, a lot of people aren't liking us together. I was gonna be with him at lunch, but I saw him with his "brothaaas" ; He said he wanted to chill with me , BUT its really affecting everything. So I chilled with my bestfriend, and stayed away from him. the only alone time we have, are some passing periods, when no-one's looking . He said to give them time, and they'll get over it. but it annoys the shit out of me. D:

  • What do I do if my ex-boyfriend is getting over me but I can't get over him?

    Singles & Dating - 9 hours ago

    I'm 17 and my ex is 19. We were together for one year. He is obviously getting over me as he started college recently at a university and he's added a few girls he goes to school with on Facebook. Me, on the otherhand, I haven't met any guys after him and I'm just always thinking about him so it's hard to get over him. I hate that he's meeting all these girls and I'm not meeting any new guys that I'm interested in. I'm kind of jealous. What should I do?

    I need to be as understanding to you guys as possible so that I can get as much help as possible. Let me give you the low down of how I've stuffed up my life.I'm 19 years old..Okay It was all working well I was In a Job for 4 months then I left because I wanted to move back out west which Is where all of my mates were and It was a hassle to drive out back home every Friday to go see my friends for the weekend. It was one of the most relaxed Jobs I've ever had but as with every other Job there is It got too repetitive and I didn't have the correct frame of mind to continue the Job. Then.. I was unemployed for about 5 months sitting at home.. every day for 5 months so I decided to do a course In automotive that course cost me $5000 New Zealand dollars which I have to pay back. Then I was out of money for a while so I could not get to school and I missed out on alot of classes so I gave that up In less than a month. That's $5000 In debt so far, then my Mum gave me her car which cost her $5000 then I got a speeding ticket which was $500 then my car conked out on me I don't have the money to fix It It's pretty stuffed up now I can only sell It for about $1000 and that's $500 towards my fine. So I got a car then I blew It I'm In debt. Then I decided to go Join the gym. I only earnt $160 a week the gym cost me $30 a week. Then my bank account got shut down therefore the gym could not receive anymore of my payments and now they're racked up at $120. I also owe my friend $325 and my other friend $120. And my pay of $160 was coming from my student allowance which I have to pay back. I have no Job.. I can't seem to find one or stick to one. No car my Dad still buys me groceries and pays my rent he works his ass off at work I pretty much live off him and I feel so horrible every single day that I am hear I feel so sorry for my Dad but I cannot leave because I have no where else to go. I also have OCD which Just ruined me. I cannot hide the fact that I am so very depressed and It feels like I am at the end of the road and It Is hard to keep positive ='( Far out the human brain Is wicked Isn't It. I'm getting different opinions from all over the place based on your peoples experience. I am getting unnecessary Answers here one of them which Is very rude. No I am not a girl yes I do pray because I want to believe In something that can help me. I do have other stuff going on In my life so please don't Judge me too much. I know what I need to do I know It Isn't fun but I can only handle so much. I came here for answers not criticism. Thank you all for your advice I do agree with some of you. These are all my first mistakes which Is why I made them In the first place. I do not have much motivation to do things I do not know how to Initiate motivation In myself okay. I know I'm not the only one but all I've asked for Is help not cold hearted rudeness alright. Thank you all for your advice I will take It.

By Josey Vogels

Dear Josey,

My former partner and I are both in our 50s. When we were dating, he gave me a few gifts, including a ring. Our relationship eventually deteriorated in part because he has anger issues and often treated me badly. I borrowed some money from him while we were dating and he owes me some money from some bills we shared. He told me to take the amount he owed me off of what I owed him (my amount was higher) and pay him back in monthly payments. I recently emailed him to arrange to make a payment and he replied saying he wanted me to return the gifts he gave me, including the ring. Do I have to give these back or is he being unreasonable? Also, I want to pay him back but am thinking I should make the payments through a third party like his mother or something so I don’t have to deal with him. What do you think?

Gifts That Keep on Taking

Dear Gifts,

He is being unreasonable and no, you don’t have to give the gifts back. However, looking down at your hand only to be reminded of how badly things ended and what a mean-spirited revengeful person you dated can’t be much of a hoot so I’m not sure why you’d want to keep this stuff anyway. I don’t know about the other gifts he gave you, but a woman’s ring isn’t exactly useful to him unless he’s tacky enough to give it to another woman, in which case, it would be just another confirmation that you made the right decision to break up with this guy. I suspect he is just doing this to be hurtful. Give the gifts back and get this man and any reminders of his hurtful, mean ways out of your life. And yes, you should definitely find a way to make payments to him through a third party so that you don’t have to deal with this guy and you can eventually free yourself of any emotional and financial ties to him. I just don’t think dealing with his mother is the best idea. You’d be better to set up an online payment system through your bank or PayPal or something so you don’t run the risk of him getting to you through a third party, particularly one that gave birth to him.
