    My friend Kim, and I have been friends for about a year now. When we first met she was flirting with me, she was twirling her hair, smiling and laughing at my jokes. Someone said that I think Kim likes me. I didnt belive them. She was always smiling at me in Chem labs. When I held study sessions, she always came even though she was a Chem major, she always smiled at me, and twirled her hair. I was distracted. I gave her a cupcake she smiled. Then we lost contact, and regained it in the summer, we texted all summer long. I was working, and she "boooo" ed me. She also told me she had a bf, and I was kinda bummed out. Then the fall semester came, and she smiled at me when she saw me. She told me she had to go to her bf's boss's wedding, the day after I saw her she looked like a wreck. Then, her roomy came by, and said Kim misses me. She said that I should text Kim, and that I should come visit her. 3 weeks ago, I saw Kim, she smiled at me, and I said we should hangout sometime. She always complains she is too busy. She smiles and waves at me when she says goodbye. Then, yesterday I saw her, she gave me a brief smile, not as big as normal, and I invited her to the movies. She never showed up. I did not specify a time though, perhaps that is why. My friends thought Kim likes me, but she seems to be hot and cold about me. My girlfriends also suggested she may like me, but has feelings for her bf as well. What can I do to better my friendship with Kim? I told hler yesterday that I missed her, and she should come over and watch a movie, but never showed up? Did I saw something wrong? Please tell me what to do? I dont want to lose a good friend? I want to be there for her always. I love her. One the other hand, she needs to quit playing games with my heart. She needs to choose either him or me. Im 19 and never kissed a girl. I was always waiting for the right girl. I think she may be it. She needs to quit playing with my emotions, I am going to get hurt by her. She is hot and cold. I dont get her. She is still with her bf. I NEED TO TELL HER TO CHOOSE EITHER HIM OR ME? I CANT STAND HER PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS ALL THE TIME! IF SHE CHOOSES HIM, I HOPE SHE GETS HURT LIKE THE WAY SHE HURTS ME. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF HER. I THOUGHT SHE LIKED ME, BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    he acts like a child again and expects you to take care of him. Leaves his dishes around the house, his clothes all over the floor, doesn't help with the kids, doesn't do yard work, dishes, laundry, and you can't leave for a few hours because you will come home and he hasn't taken care of anything while you were gone?

    I'm married, and so is my friend. Sometimes we go out for a drink or lunch or something. My husband always knows were I am and who I am with. Recently, I heard my friend on the phone with his wife saying he was with someone else and going somewhere else. I'm not telling any lies, but I guess he is. Am I doing anything wrong? It made me sad that his wife doesn't recognize our friendship. I know her and he knows my husband. I have known both him ad his wife for 15 years--that's before they got together. The 4 of us have spent plenty of time together over the years. She and I have also been out for drinks together.

    How do guys feel when they are finally confronted by a girl they have been trying to avoid or whatever? You guys have only spoken online and never met in person. You guys used to talk alot and trying to get to know each other and be friends...but you have been behaving badly by ignoring her suddenly...and trying to avoid a confrontation with her. She leaves you alone and then decides to contact his friend and meet up with him to try to reason with you and get to the bottom of your behaviour a few months later. You react by telling her to get a life and leave you alone. She gets upset, then reacts by telling you that you have acted very childish and immature, and that if you had just said that to her to begin with then she would have left you alone then and not have had to contact your friend. She tells you that the reason why she tried to contact you was because you guys will be working together and wanted to eliminate any potential awkwardness and misunderstandings between you guys. You don't reply to her message. You guys will be working together later on, in about a couple of years or so, which she has tried to let you know about. How do you handle her when you see her around again? Of course at this point she is pretty pissed at you and ignores you. Do guys feel remorse when a girl they have been avoiding confrontation with has put them in their place due to their wrong-doing? And if so how do they act? Please help out. Thanks alot. i confronted him online not in person...but practically IN person i guess....

Shopping for Dad

Posted Mon, Jun 15, 2009
POST A COMMENT »
I was talking to my dad over the weekend and the annual question came up: "What do you want for Father's Day?"

"Whatever. Just don't spend too much," was my dad's response.

"Thanks. That doesn't help me, you know," I said, rolling my eyes. I then called my mom for some suggestions.

Father and daughter (Gettyimages.com)

I adore my father, but trying to buy gifts for him is like pulling teeth. I could surprise him, but in my family we tend to do a list of things and then pick an item off the list. That way, everyone's happy and it cuts down on returns. Not on the gift list are:

Ties - he doesn't wear them every day.
Golf-related paraphernalia. He doesn't play.
Tech stuff - he buys that for himself or my brother buys him something.
Decorated or peronalized anything. No, we're all too old for that.

I know a gift isn't the most important thing to get dad. The important thing is we spend time together - usually over a roti lunch. But I like to get him something he wouldn't buy himself.

What are you planning to get your father for Father's day? Or are you trying something new this year?

    I find, that in this stage of life, my parents don't really expect fancy gifts. They are both retired and don't NEED anything. They also don't want us kids to waste lots of money on them. We usually celebrate by simply spending the day together. My brother and I will make a nice lunch or take them out for dinner. Sometimes if there is a little something that catches my eye - like a book I think my Dad will like, or pretty flowers for my Mom - I'll pick them up. But really, it's not about the gifts, but just spending quality time together as a family is what matters.

    I agree. I usually do dinner. Combine it with my mother's birthday (conveniently at the same time) and a book or shirt - cause he still can't dress himself. Now that theyu've moved it's harder to see them as often so he's just happy when I go and visit.
