Met this guy through a great guy friend. We're both in our mid-late 20s. He completely charmed me. I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Near the end of our date, all he wanted to do was get in my pants. I told him to slow down and all he did was feel me up. After our date, we're having steamy conversations on FB. I realized I needed to tell him I'm not ready to go that far in person and to slow down a lot. He said "lame" and went to bed.

Obviously, he stopped texting and messaging as much as before and waiting longer intervals between messages. I'm fine with that because I'm glad I realized it now before I went further with him, than after. He's messaging once in a while and I'm just wondering how to make this less awkward (for me at least) when we are chatting online.

Or even meeting in person because we do have mutual friends. I don't want him to think I'm still mooning over him but I feel if I just cut him off , it'll make it more obvious and awkward when we met in a social setting. I feel like everyone is going to know what happened between us.

I'm also thinking he might be messaging once in a while to see if I've changed my mind. Our dynamic has definitely changed though. I'm a horrible actor by the way. Any tips/advice appreciated!

My house is over 100 yrs old and I need to waterproof the basement. One contractor has told me that the to add clear gravel stone outside of the dimple board is not necessary because my foundation was made with large stones/masonry and not concrete cinder blocks. He said that the stones are not porous like concrete blocks can be so its not necessary, I would just be wasting money on clear stone (gravel). The process he would do is, fix leaks, cement parge, apply a membrane sealer then add the dimple board.

Is this true? Can anyone give me some insight?

Is this true?

Been thinking about this situation and wondering if I'm in the wrong here. I introduced my best friend to a guy friend of mine. Everyone, especially my best friend, pushed us together and I developed feelings for him. The 3 of us start hanging out together constantly. Then drama occurs and she tries to convince me he's not that great, actually a bit of a jerk. I find out he doesn't feel the same and has actually been talking behind my back.

I try to forgive and move on especially when I realize that my friend has also developed feelings for him and that he might feel the same about her. Our friendship was more important to me. I told her that if she wanted to be with him, it was alright with me - but I would like a heads up before they tell everyone else. It didn't even occur to her that I would be upset or disapprove of her dating him because I "wasn't that type of girl to be jealous" (her words) until I brought it up.

They go some dates but nothing seems to develop from it, and it looks like it might not. Then one night the 3 of us are hanging out, drinking. In the morning I wake up and I walk in on them together. I leave before they wake. She calls later to tell me what happened, asking for my permission to start dating him, saying good friends were harder to come by than good guys. Told her we'd talked about it already, I didn't want to talk about it anymore. I suggested she take some time to think & that she talk to someone else because I felt like I couldn't be objective about it.

Next day, she decides she wants to be with him and I tell her that I'll need some time and distance. I realize I'm not ok with it especially with how it all came about. A week later, I tell her to stop asking me for advice about him because it was all we were talking about. Two weeks later, she calls me asking me for relationship advice, to tell her what to do. She's not sure if its going to work and doesn't want to waste time if they aren't going to be in a serious relationship. She wants my opinion since I apparently know him better. I tell her to think about it, its only been 3 weeks, not much of a try but I can't really help her read his mind or guess what he'll do. She agrees at first but then flips out that I'm "not supporting her" and she's going to dump him. We argue because I think she should think about it but she doesn't want to try. I ask her what was the point of going through all of that drama for 3 weeks if she wasn't going to try. At this point she tells she wants to cut off all contact with me and our other friends. None of us should contact her. I'm too upset to talk and we hang up.

Havent spoken since then. Wondering if I was in the wrong for not telling her what she wanted to hear and trying to distance myself?

Thanks!

I was wondering when I use my electric baseboard heaters, does it make a difference in energy consumption if its set on low vs high? Or does it consume the same amount (i.e. 1400 watts or whatever) just by being on?

I was wondering if my optician should measure my eyes again after I just got my new prescription for contact lens? If they have the numbers from the last time I was there, can I just use that?

Specifically I was wondering what women would do/react and feel if someone offered them a seat on a crowded bus, and then they realized that the other person offered because they thought you were pregnant when you aren't?

Whenever my mom bakes with yeast, her breads always come out with a really strong alcohol smell which we have no idea how to reduce or get rid of. Since we're not crazy about bread that smells like beer, how can we reduce or get rid of the smell.

My friend is kinda in this situation and I'm curious as to what others would do. So if you cheated on your bf or gf then broke up with them, would you tell them that you cheated afterwards? and why?

I've never had contacts before and I've decided I want to get some. I'll probably wear them only part time but I don't know if I should get fitted by my optometrist or not. Is it better? Or can I go directly to the optician with my prescription.

I've been looking for one & haven't had any luck in 3 months!
