    We aren't married yet... so I am not "his." But it be totally bad if I got a tattoo??? He hates tattoos and things they are gross and I would be desecrating my beautiful body.

I dont want a huge one, do you think it would be bad if I got one???
  • Is it worth the wait?

    I'll try to sum this up: I like one of my friends. I've liked her for quite some time now, but she has liked me much, much longer. Recently, we stopped talking for a month or two due to some issues that I have to clear up with myself and take some time to think...well, during that time, she must have gotten tired of waiting or just gave into an opportunity for comfort, but now she has a boyfriend. They've been together for 3 months or so, and she's already afraid to leave him. Afraid that she'll "miss him too much." Now, what I'm wondering is this: should I wait? Is it worth it? She claims that she still likes me, and now that she knows my true feelings for her, she's confused, shocked and unsure what to do with the relationship with the other guy. It's a "long-distance" relationship. We, however, go to the same school, live in the same "city," etc... So, do you think it would be worth the wait? The girl claims to be "in love" with me, and she really, REALLY cares for me and likes me a lot based on the past... :-/ Should I be patient, should I wait? Any suggestions or advice would be helpful; maybe some of you have had a similar experience... some more details: she tells me that she likes me more than him, she thinks I'm "better than him," but she's just afraid that she'll miss him too much. I'm not sure what to think about this... oh, by the way, *this guy is her first boyfriend.*
  • Super hot girl -- What is my next move? or should I back off? ps.( I am romantically retarded)?

    I met this woman at the local coffee shop, she helped me find a tea strainer and we chatted. She introduced herself and shook my hand (I was caught of guard. I don't get approached by attractive women often). I gave her my name and moved on. I returned that weekend and some followings weeknights but she was not there, she must be a 9-5 worker. I took the following Wednesday off work and I went over there again- there she was. We made small talk and I gave her my business card with my cell number on it. I felt good about it. No call. Today is Wednesday again and I am home sick( nothing noticable). I went over there again and had a coffee. We said hello- how are you? but on the whole she was busy and I did not make a great effort to approach her. What should I do now? I can't take anymore Wednesday's off work My biggest concern is that I should've asked for her number instead of giving mine- Did I screw the dating protocol?
  • marital problem, please help!!!!!!!?

    me and my husband have been married for 2 years. i have a 4 year old from a previous relationship, we have a 3 month old, and another one on the way. we have had a couple petty fights here and there but over all i thought we were pretty happy. my husband is in the army and he is 18 hours away from us re-classing, he's supposed to be home dec 16 (but we don't know for sure yet) he calls me the other night and we get into this heated argument and he tells me that he is still in love with his ex girlfriend but he won't divorce me because he doesn't want to have to pay child support or alimony. i have been a stay at home mom for as long as we've been married. so i haven't worked outside the home in a really long time. i also recently found out that i have cancer so i have multiple surgeries ahead over the next 1-2 years. and since i just had a baby 3 months ago the fact that im pregnant again so soon after my c-section my dr has advised me to take it easy through out this pregnancy. in fear that my incision could reopen. so i'm not exactly in any position to go back to work any time soon. what do i do? he wants to stay married, but only to save money. he is still supporting us financially, but he has just decided that he doesn't love me anymore. how am i supposed to deal with this kind of information? I don't believe in divorce, i never have, but i know he has been pursuing his ex since he left. i am in no financial position to be able to take care of 3 kids on my own, but how do i stay with some one knowing that he is in love with someone else and has been communicating with her? i honestly love my husband and so much so that i want him to be happy, and if that means with some one else then so be it, but i just don't see how i can stay with him. but at the same time i don't know how we can survive with everything going on right now with out him. what i really want is for him to tell his ex to f*** off, and for us to go to marital counseling and make things work between us, but i don't know that i could ever get rid of the fear that he is only doing it to keep from paying alimony and child support. any advice would greatly be appreciated. thanks wow, thanks missinginaction. like i didn't already know that! answerdude- no not at all. i always loved having sex with my husband. we had heard that you cant get pregnant while breastfeeding. and there was a lot of sex before he left to go to texas. like i said i thought we were pretty happy. and when i told him i was pregnant again he was excited about it. we thought because of the cancer (which is cervical) that we wouldnt be able to have any more kids. thats why i am so torn here, this is completely out of the blue. is it possible that he is just having issues because of the separation? i dont know.

What will your thoughts be if I go to prom in a stormtrooper custome? Will you hang out with me,or make-fun of me? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Who is in the wrong here?

    Okay just a warning, this is going to be a long question, so stick with me here. My boyfriend works from 7pm-7am. Yesterday was my birthday and he text me happy birthday at midnight, then of course he sleeps during the day. I kind of hoped he would have asked for the night off, but oh well. I told him I felt like he didn't make time for me anymore, and he said "sorry I have a job" which was very rude... I immediately called him and asked if he was serious? He said are YOU serious? Then I told him that I would have been happy with a 5 minute phone call saying Happy Birthday I love you. He laughed and said he didn't understand why I was overreacting. His laughing made me feel 10 times worse than I did before because he wasn't trying to make me feel any better.When he feels a fight coming on or any sort of real discussion, he tries to get off the phone by saying, Yea I'm gunna go. Which I didn't allow because I wanted to speak to him about this. We ended the conversation on a good note, but I text him later explaining why I was upset and that I'm not demanding by any means and just wished for a phone call at least. He has apologized but I'm pretty sure it's just to shut me up. What do you guys think? Did I somehow overreact or is he just being an asshole? Again sorry for this being so long but I needed to give all the details to ask correctly. We never argue actually. We get along perfectly, which is why this whole ordeal threw me off! I told him I understand he's tired and he has to work, but I wanted him to see how and why it upset me

Not so casual

Posted Mon, Aug 17, 2009
POST A COMMENT »
Apparently, we Canadians aren't big fans of casual sex. A recent Lavalife/Durex survey about the sex lives of Canadians cited a study published by Dr. David P. Schmitt of Bradley University of Illinois, which ranked Canada at No. 10 on the promiscuity list. Apparently, when it comes to one-night stands, the U.K. tops the list, followed by Germany and the Netherlands.

Of course, toss some money at us and we Canadians sure change our tune. According to the Lavalife/Durex survey, which asked 1,000 Canadians about their sex lives, 79% said they'd have sex with a stranger for a million bucks while 50% said they'd allow their partner to make the same deal.

Other findings:
70% said they'd be willing to try anything once
Almost 37% say they masturbate daily
42% do it a couple of times a week
Almost 13% masturbate on a monthly basis.
45% of single Canadians wait three to four dates before having sex, 34% wait until date 2 and 20% wait a month, minimum
42% say a stranger is the best candidate for a threesome while 24% prefer to ask a friend.
28% don't like threesomes.

Share your best (and worst) one-night stand stories.

    How casual is "casual" sex, when it is usally "causal sex" the cause which leads to diseases that are deadly. Wear yer rubbers might not work. Dental damns sound so...well..damned. So best to be less casual and get to know the person above the shoulders for awhile before any boat ride.Guess casual sex isnt sexy or romantic. Was it ever? Love means never having to say you had casual sex with your dog who may be a partner all to ready to do the nasty to hasty. Hey Granma's can be sexy, but wait for a couple dates before you put on your rubber ducky.

    It figures that this study was done in the States(the kings of stereotypers and generallizations). Canadians are just as horny as any other country. Casual sex is alive and well in Canada( just check the Ashley Maddison or Benaughty websites) When I got divorced back in the nineties, every date was sex on the first date. Sex with someone you know well is more satisfing,but when you are hungry, you don't turn down the peanutbutter sandwich to wait for the Fillet Mignon. As for the Million dollars? I don't even need that much,1000 will do it (need the money) lol. For a million, I would pull a Tom Greene and do a dead moose.

    If you take in the fact 60% streach the truth and 45% would not tell you their deepest fantisy's sort of renders this information usless. All I say is have a great time, let down your inabitions and go for it. Great sex and Good loven everyone.

    I've never had casual sex (when I was younger, only "bad girls" had casual sex) but Iooking back, it's one of those things I wish I had done at least once. Oh, to be 20 again! Clearly, I should have spent more time in the UK.
