I met this girl. Let's call her Christina. I met her in school. I was scared to talk to her, but I just said screw it, and I talked to her. We had a few convos, and we had lunch. She seemed a little nervous. Which surprised me. Anyways, she stopped going to school. I thought she didn't care about school, but I found out she was having some family issues to where she had to stop going to school. Also, I have 2 friends that work with her. Let's call them Marie and Kate. Kate told me one day that Christina started a random 10-15 min convo about me. Kate kept saying to me oh she likes you, etc. So I went up to her job, and I ended up getting her number. We said we were going to hangout, but we were trying to find a day that worked for us, because at times we both have busy schedules. So a week or so after that she sent me a note saying when she wanted to hangout. I was happy to hear from her, because I was going through some stuff at the time, and hearing from her meant a lot to me. So just when we were about to hangout her grandmother died. I didn't know at first. Also, she ended up having some other family stuff to deal with as well. So I called and stuff like I normally do, because I didn't know at first. Then we didn't see each other for a month. We talked on the phone once. It went ok, and she emailed me once. In between that month. I called a lot. I wasn't trying to be a pest. I mean what if you like someone, then all out of the blue you don't speak for a while. Of course you're going to call. Also, I bought her a card regarding her grandmother passing. I made attempts to try to catch her at her job. Every now and then Marie would tell me that oh Christina is working this day so you should catch her. A few times I tried, and she took the day off for stuff like her grandmother's will, etc. So last week I caught up with Christina. We talked, and she said she wasn't trying to blow me off. I told her I wasn't trying to be a try hard, etc. She said once I get back from out of town we would finally go out. She even labeled us hanging out as a date. There's a few things that make me wonder. Her not keeping a lot of contact with me for that month. I know she was going through stuff, but I don't think she was busy every second and minute. My point is do you think she was playing hard to get, or seeing if I would keep interest? Also, ladies.. if you were in her shoes? What would you be thinking?


No she is not playing hard to get. If she was with a death in the family - wow I don't know what to say.

Personally, when I have family problems, guys are the last thing on my mind. She has a lot to deal with especially if she was close with her grandmother. She's just really busy with all that, so just take her word for it.


Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have
to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or
betrayed, or left behind, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their
sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could." -- Louise Erdrich

Ladies, let's say that your best friend is planning to get marry but she never told you on which day. I'm Hmong so I'll tell you how the way people get marry. From what I know, I heard that the male take the female to their home and talk to the parents about it. (Though I'm not sure but I'm for sure about taking the female over to the male's home.) Anyways, I just recently found out that my best friend is planning to get marry to her 9-11th month boyfriend (I still find it kind of early to get marry) but she feel as if she can't live without him.

The thing is, he lives about 2-4 hours away from her (the guy lives in Wisconsin and she lives in Minnesota.) I don't know much about him but my best friend's sister tell me that he's rude. He does not try to talk to their parents, he ignores them. One time, my best friend's dad ask him to help him but he totally ignore him, drop her off and drove off. I find that hard to believe but really, it's... crazy.gif He calls my best friend's sister FAT, that's like really mean. He's finished with college (went to a 2 year community college), so I'm not sure how old is he. Maybe 20-21, around there.

She's planning to leave this thursday (when I am at camp!). I'm TOTALLY worry about her because she planned to be come Register Nurse, enter college but I feel that she's throwing this all away for ONE guy. Yeah yeah, I know. It's her life and she can do whatever she want but I am serious about this. D: I don't really know what to do beside try to talk to her about this (100% sure that she wants to get marry) and the fact that we won't get to hang out with each other anymore. Of course, marriage is a BIG step in life.

At one point, I don't want her to get marry but I can't tell her what to do either. What would you guys do? Sorry if this is quite long because I'm trying to throw in a lot of details about this issue. By the way, I am a female.

hmm...he guys sounds like a total jerk...but have u considered that he might be like the sweetest nicest person to her?
plus he loves her enough to get married so he does care about her...but i do agree that hes not the best person for her....
u should still talk to her about it and actually have her consider what her life might be like when shes older and how he acts to her friends and family...and if its really worth it? since marriage cant happen jus by loving one another...

all i can say is jus really talk to her, talk to her parents about it too, they might be thinking the same thing as you...since they are her parents they might talk her out of it..

lastly, if their meant to be married they will get married, if not the marriage could be called off...

hope it all works out~

Why are girls scared of me?

Is it because I've beaten up a few of them in the past?
I mean I see them looking at me in groups, but when I look at them back they turn really scared and most of them look the other way.

My sharingan could also have a part in this, some people get really affraid when they look at it.


soften up the look(in the eyes)...also i have to say beating up ppl might have a big part in this..im guessing ppl think u have an attitude?
even when ppl are afraid try to be friendly...kinda "break the ice" it might jus be that ur image intimidating but jus cuz of that doesnt ur personality has to be that way too....

many girls have told me that they don't like guys who talk too much. but then again, many girls told me when i went on dates with them: "i'm more of a listener... not much of a talker. I'm a good listener." and then they smiled. ok, so i took the hint... well maybe the girls are kinda shy. apparently some were, but many weren't.

i gave it a try. see if the girls were only saying it when they said that they're good listeners and that they prefer to listen. i tried to make the girl talk by asking things about her... it wasnt like an interrogation, mind you. i've dated many times and i have a good communication skill. but this one never gets through me. i tried to make them talk, but often times, there'll be an awkward silence.. i mean, i don't like it when girls talk too much either, but you know... it's hard to get a good balance.


talk about things shes interested in..
try to get them to start the convo. i mean they may be jus shy?
or it might becuase she hasnt known u for long? not much i can say on a girl who doesnt talk...
make her laugh, she'll talk more that way...sorry i couldnt help much..

I would honestly got to know the guy first...you heard one side of the story (all anti-boyfriend)...you'd never know, you might have it all wrong about him (since you dont know him well...and the sheer fact that your friend is in "love" with him).

Even if you feel that the guy is right for your friend, talk to your friend about her throwing her goals away...ask her if she's still going to college after getting married (people do that...).

If you feel that your friend's boyfriend is NOT the right guy for her, talk to your friend, let her know exactly what you think (in a sensitive way, dont call him names, dont make crude judgements about his personality (like saying "he's mean", but talk about his actions, like calling your friend's sister "fat").

Would you give a guy that's not exactly your ideal type a chance?



My past two relationships were with guys who werent my "ideal type" (preppy, athletic, kind hearted, funny, and a little dorky..a "cool dork" if you will haha) ..granted they were both good looking and funny, which are great qualities but nothing else about them were what I expected I would even like in a guy. The first one was a somewhat eccentric punkish-skater type who shunned mainstream fashion and music. The second guy was a cocky, flashy playboy. I saw qualities that I loved and qualities that I hated..I guess that's what it takes for a person to slowly realize what their "ideal type" truely is.

Hmm, thanks. I think I will talk to her parents about it. It is quite scary talking to my uncle. ^^;; it's kind of weird just bringing them up BUT i will do my best to talk to them about it. I have a feeling that they'll joke to me because I'm "young" and I don't understand much.. But hey, they know that she IS my best friend, after all.

What do you you girls think about guys that are very individualistic? For example, guys that just see life differently and just broadens out and tries everything that life has to offer. He still is a nice guy though.

i really don't think she was playing hard to get. if i were her, i'd just feel like being alone for the time being because of everything that's happening (the death of her grandmother, family problems). i WOULD try to avoid phone calls, etc, because i wouldn't feel like talking to anyone. sometimes people just need space.

Hmm... honestly? No - because:

I think about my type as the following:

* Tall
* Lean
* Smart/Intelligent

And if he were not to have any of the above, I doubt I would really develop an attraction to him simply because he doesn't posess any of the qualities that I am attracted to in the opposite sex. It doesn't mean that he has to have ALL the qualities, just at least one.

He would be like a breath of fresh air. I would definitely date him as long as he doesn't force me into his interests if I don't want to join in and won't look down on me for it.

Personally, I wouldn't mind. I love a guy who's willing to put himself out there rather than someone who only stays in his comfort zone and not willing to try. smile.gif

Erm. You're not giving us much to work with. How does she feel being the only girl her age in your church? Is that what you're trying to ask?

I'd feel okay. I mean it's just church. It's not like I don't have friends at school.
Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I thought I knew...

I'm going with Lily-Chan's interpretation of your question as I'm not realy 100% what you're trying to ask =_=

I would feel awkward and so I wouldn't talk or try to communicate with anyone and just sit the whole entire church session out until it's over. Are you thinking of trying to talk to her?

How does she feel being the only girl her age in your church?
i guess thats kinda my question
well she kinda is the ONLY girl in our church tahts younger then 25 and older then 11

i got to asking this because well...

we have the actual church part for about a hour
after we eat lunch and play volleyball/ping pong/pool/bowling/ anything we can think of
thats like our normal sunday

ive known her for about 8 years and shes never been as quiet as she was today or the past few weeks
i think today i didnt even hear her say anything at all

i went on this thing far away with her , her dad, and her brother
and we had 3 days there
we seriously said 20-30 sentences to each other
well maybe a little more
and we were like the only people we knew there
i talked to strangers more then her
i actually learned how to not be so awkward in silences

i dont even know whut im trying to ask anymore..

~EDIT~
or if this makes sense..

^ lol. You're one lost boy xD! I feel like your question is more of something like: Why has she become so quiet? You're obviously kinda worried for this girl.

The answer is... there isn't really a specific one. If in all those 8 years you've known her, she has always been quiet, chances are that she's just a shy girl or just anti-social. And why has she become even more quiet? Many possibilities. Something bad happened in her life and want to be left alone: bf, friends, family, school, etc.
Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything that I thought I knew...

i think that is attractive. (just at long as its not the emo outlook of life)
means he is secure w/ himself to break out of the norm. i can learn many new things from him, which is a plus cuz i love learning things i didn`t understand before!

this actually could be answered by either gender, but since there are more ladies i`ll post it here.

how can u tell when you are completely over someone? (like your ex) or is it impossible & part of you will always be w/ them because of the relationship?
how do u tell the difference between if you miss them or if you just miss the way they treated you? or is it the same thing?

i`m just really confused right now so if anyone can provide any insight, thanks in advance! ^^*
