  • 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 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 - 5 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:)
