    How would you women feel about your partner not caring about his appearance, i mean not even trying to dress nice, go to the mall with you with tatty cut - out pants made into shorts, abit dirty, a shirt with a couple of holes and stained, (He says its clean,its been washed) but you can see its not looking nice. And he is bare foot aswell., he is always like this no matter what amount of clothes you buy him. I buy him a new shirt and new pants and not long and he has worked on some dirty job at home wearing them and ruined them with grease etc. Happens again and again, how would you feel about that? I feel ashamed to be seen with him like that in public as he looks like a homeless person . Does it mean i do not love him enough because it affects me?? Would you love some one no matter how yucky they dress because they just do not care or would it make you love them less and feel ashamed?? I want my man to dress nice and care about his appearance but he does not. Guys, are any of you out there like this?? Why is he like this? please no silly answers, i am serious. person He is my ex - husband and he has been wanting to get back together, but it really puts me off with the way he doesnt care about looking half decent. (Always was like this and has not changed) I did try when i was with him, hopelessly.

    Well at uni i was a good friend with a girl (at least i thought i was). While at uni we did help each other when needed. Well when we left uni she started to act strange. She has been ignoring my calls and texts for no reason. I know i have not upset her at all. This has been happening since Spetember. I know that she could be busy but to not reply to my text and to ignore nearly all my calls shows that she wants to ignore me. I have been told this in secret form her friend and have been told to act as if i am not aware about it. Now what i want to know is what should i do? I will totally ignore her and remove her as a friend on fb (although that seems childish). but if and when i see her what shall i say? I am saying this becasue we do have common friends. Shall i question her about why she has been ignoring me. I know that we can lose in touch with people but this si totally out of the blue and strange. I have given her some space. I mean i stopped calling her for months and when i did she still did not really talk

    im very short for my grade. im about 5'0" I am a nice guy who is 13 in december. I have had this one girlfriend who i really liked and she broke up with me about a year ago. I told her i loved her every day and i would always say good night and good morning. I tried to get her back when she broke up with me but that didn't work. People always say im a nerd or a n00b. i don't ever play video games and if i do it is for about an hour a week. this year, my school got open enrollment and this one girl came. i thought she was cute and i am in none of her classes, but lunch. I started to notice that she constantly looked at me and when i looked back, she would turn away. Im really shy and only talk to people i know really well. i am friends with everyone in my grade, literally. i talk to the nerds, the emos, the cool kids, the nerds, everyone. i talk to this one kid who everyone makes fun of cuz he talks funny, so i try to be nice to him. i finally asked this girl out and she said, give me time. so i did and at a high school football game, she said yes and gave me a hug. later, she broke up wit me cuz i was still shy and didn't really talk to her. i talked to her and asked for another chance, and she said i still like you, but i have another bf. we talk/text all the time. i help her with everything, but not just her, every girl. i hold doors open, help with homework, i even flirt sometimes, i give christmas gifts that come from the heart(i make them(bracelets, neckleces, ect.)), i dont like girls for their body of hotness(even tho i got both beautiful girls), im considered cute by all girls i've asked out(but apearently im not their type, which i understand). i just wanted to know if i am a good guy, would YOU go out with me if you knew me, what type girls think i am, or anything else. Thanks i also play football, basketball, and track and i weigh about 79 pounds, very underweight for my age my 2nd gf was the best and i never wanted to let her go, but ppl made fun of me (cuz i didnt deserve her and there were 13 guys who asked her out and she turned them all down for me) and thats part of the reason y she broke up with me

    we have been together for 9 months and spend a lot of time together (about 3-4 days a week) but she has had to stay with her auntie who lives quite far away and will be there for about 3 or more weeks. A few days have passed already and its killing me not getting to be with her It feels like she has just broke up with me. we talk on the phone but after a while the feeling comes back... is there anything i can do to make this go away. i can't do anything without thinking about her non stop.
