There's a man i like & i think he likes me based on some previous clues. I was in his house sitting down one day & we were talking & keeping an eye on our children playing for a short while. Then there was a small break from talking & i started looking at a wall with just one small picture on it. After a short while, i turned round to speak to him & he was sitting facing me & staring at me below my eye level. He looked like he was gazing at me with glassy looking eyes & when he realised i was speaking, his eyes flicked quickly up to mine and he just answered my question quite normally. I did wonder what he might have been looking at as his eyes were on something below mine. I thought later that maybe he was tired but prior to this he'd been ok and we'd only been sitting down for 10 mins at the the most. When i came home i looked in the mirror to see if there was something i'd missed. Has anyone looked at someone they like for example & ended up in a kind of trance forgetting they are staring?

I am looking for a very good quality digital camera with a high resolution. I often go to the motorsport events, bikes and cars and often get to have my photo taken with the riders/drivers, so i am wanting to find a digital camera that will be quick as these people are on the move and can't afford to be standing there waiting for someone's camera to move onto the next frame or start up. I would like a digital camera that i can say for example, pass to a friend when i go to have a photo taken and they can just aim and fire quickly, just like you would find with an ordinary roll film camera.

Can anyone recommend a good digital camera?

Just looking in the Argos catalogue for digital cameras is confusing me as all the descriptions are similar and the prices vary, so i could end up paying a high price for a slow camera.

When a child's lost their mum at an early age, like near 1yr old when mum died, is it common for the mother's sister or another female relative to act as a stand-in mum so the child does'nt encounter awkward situations at first school, ie.making mothers day cards, or being asked about their mum. Does anyone know of someone who has an arrangement like this? Also, if the child now 6 yrs old mentions the word 'mum', would'nt you expect by that time, that she is living in the same house as the child? The child said to me 'mum works & sometimes she comes round & sometimes she doesn't'.When the Dad tells you that he often struggles in the school holidays with entertaining his child & often has to phone round some of his girlfriends for help to look after the child so he can work (from home), does it make you wonder why 'mum' isn't taking care of this side of things? I've minded the child in his house about 3 times but no sign of mum. The father is a widower who likes me & i've caught him gazing at me. I think he knows i like him but he's shy & awkward. He never mentions a name of a partner,but just uses the word 'we' and 'i' when talking about what he's done lately. I should ask him but how? I only know about the loss of his wife from someone who told me. Can anyone tell me anything? Iv'e only been speaking to him for 3 mths & we've spoken for 1st time without any other adults about, but still not just the two of us as yet as his child is there.

I told my ex last yr to move out due to his behavioural changes & i've been living without a partner & with a child.He wanted to come round to see the child from 7.45am-8.20am,1.20pm to 1.45pm & 6.oopm to anything up to 7.30pm Mon to Fri. Saturday AND sunday from 10am or near to again 7.oopm plus. I was so sick of his interferrence from 7.45am while i got my child ready for nursery/breakfast (as he would sit on the sofa in his suit, watching like a hawk & commenting) that i told him not to turn up until 8.ooam. He then turned up at dead on 8.ooam & continued his interrferring until 8.20 (when child left for nursery). After another week i told him to just collect our child on the doorstep at 8.20am & go. After near a month i told him to stop coming round Mon-fri evenings as i couldn't move on (from what i had to put up with before i told him to move out) & i suggested Mon, wed & Fri evening.Later i had to say no to him coming round on Sat as he was sitting on my sofa watching TV. He texts me every sat night to say 'i will be round at 10am sunday morning'. I find it mind bending as it is a sunday ritual that is dreadfully dull. I ask him to leave by 7.oopm but he manages to still be in my house as late as 8pm +. He will sit there & leave when he's told to, like he wants to stay for as long as can get away with. I told him on some occasions not to go in my food cupboards & my fridge.He uses my toilet, tips my child's lego all over my living room floor & lies accoss the doorway playing with it while child watches TV.He rents a one-room house,with kitchen,toilet &shower, that's it. He has a small TV (i gave him) but only has BBc2 and ITV depending on weather. His place is a mess, he has a glass coffee table i gave him when he moved out.He argues with my child & he cries often to me complaining about his father's behaviour. My ex has been unreliable on many previous occasions, causing child to fall, not supervising properly etc. Expartner's behaviour in the past has caused me stress,tension headaches,poor circulation &poor sleep.Yesterday i complained to expartner about lying on my floor with lego again, blocking up doorway,my general disliking of his presence at times & that he put my TV on to watch sports channel. He then suggested that our child can always come round his place' ,no apology. He has one room & mess everywhere. On numerous occasions i have had to come back in the room & prize my child off his father because my ex had managed to upset him. It was so frequent that i couldn't even leave the 2 together while i had a bath. My child was very angry & even started shouting 'go away' & 'leave'. My neighbour never has her expartner round in the week,only on sundays. My Ex is paying mortgage on our house for time being as i was a housewife for some years. He still has his key, should he still have it?? I don't have a key to his place. At present its Tues eves, Thursday eves & sundays. I want to cut it down to Weds & Sundays only but i dont want to be tied to the Sunday thing all the time that he seems to have done himself. Have a sunday free when i want. I feel like i'm getting the stress back again lately.

There is a man i like & he is widowed & just a few years older than me. He's not gay btw. A short while ago we did the eye contact for longer than normal etc which he willingly participated in. He will come over himself & talk to me often. He laughs with me etc & we have several interests in common. But he seems to blow hot & cold. He can be laughing, agreeing then next he's figiting, fiddling with his phone& looking a bit awkward. He will only say hello to me when not many people are about. Sometimes he will walk past me & talk to someone else while i stand there alone, then later away from the environment he walks over to me smiling & we talk for as long as an hour. He never mentions a partner's name & sometimes uses the word 'we' (as though there is a partner) then other times 'i' (i will be going to...). I asked him if he wanted to come on a day outing but he can't make it as he's away that day which i know is true - as i forgot he told me over a week before. Since i asked him, he came over & talked to me but after a short while, he started fiddling, looking down at the floor & looking like he wanted to go. I noticed that some of the women have been watching me over a period of time. When he talks to the other women - who have partners/husbands, he seems relaxed & normal. He knows i'm single as i mentioned it but he seems stuffy at times when we talk, like Mark Darcy towards me. He chooses himself to talk to me & will walk over to me so if he didn't want to he wouldn't. He hasn't asked me to come out with him or mentioned coming out for a simple walk or anything so not really sure if this is worth persuing?

I've been talking to a man recently i sense is attracted to me as there's been eye contact/smiles between us. He says morning to me on the footpath & smiles but when we are in the grounds of the building when other people are around, he says nothing to me. I said hello to him as i was passing him when there were people around but he just ignored me & looked straight ahead at everyone else. He happilly talks to other women - who have partners/husbands & seems smiley, chatty & confident with them but he's seems reserved & quiet when talking to me. I noticed a wedding ring but during our talks, he never mentions the word Wife or any woman by name.

I recently have gained the interest of an older man (about 7-8 yrs older than me) using eye contact, smiles. I plucked up the courage to say hello to him one morning & we walked down the road talking for 5 mins. The next day in the park he came straight over to me & he said hello with a smile & we talked for almost an hour. There was no mention of a wife or female's name & i've never seen him with a partner since i 1st saw him 6 mths ago. Next morning he smiled & said hello to me. In the afternoon he came to the park but he seemed offish when talking to me, then he went off & leaned against the fence alone. This morning i said hello to hi

He happilly talks to other women, mostly older ones.

I enjoyed talking to him as i 'broke the ice' as he would never have spoken to me first & i even made him laugh a few times. He is quite shy with a placid voice,educated type, grey hair. The next morning we passed and he smiled & said h

I'm not sure if this man likes me or not, but i like him. I see him on my way to work and he stands reasonably near me, maybe a metre away for a short while. He doesn't speak to me and i have never spoken to him. Our eyes have met on a handful of previous occasions when passing but nothing else. One day i decided to colour my hair to something totally different and wear it down as it was always tied up and i got a few compliments when i went to work that day, one female told me she loved it and that she didn’t recognise me, and a male said hi to me and he’d never spoken to me before, so this new look was a good one. There was no sign of the man for a few days, unwell maybe, and i was hoping that he'd get to see my new look. Then he was back and as he came towards me - we were down the bottom of the road and nobody else about. To my surprise, he gazed at me with wide eyes, with a beaming smile on his face, and so i smiled back at him. I got more than i bargained for and it was all bizarre to me as he had never looked at me like that before ( Prior to that i would just get a glance from him). I could feel his eye contact when he looked at me and i was the first to look away. The strange thing was that the following day, as we came towards each other outside the building he made no eye contact with me whatsoever and he stared straight at the oncoming traffic as i passed him. He looked rather rigid and serious as he stared at the traffic. Over the next few weeks, we would pass each other and there would be the odd glance from him but no smile, so next i decided that when i pass him, i will give a little smile, nothing obvious or OTT and i did this on about three occasions. I had noticed that when a couple of women with their children passed him on the path in the distance, they would smile and say 'morning' or 'hi' to him and they would receive the same from him, so i thought there would be no harm me just smiling. Then a week or so later after three smiles, on the same route, i noticed a temporary standing up workman's bollard in the distance and it was bright in colour so it was really easy to see quite far away and it wasn't there the day before. I was a few minutes late that morning and the man was coming out of the building as i was going towards it. As he came towards me, he suddenly looked down at the bollard as though it was the first time he'd seen it and he did this just as he was about to pass me. He looked down at it like he was thinking 'oh! i wonder what that is doing there'. Maybe it was the first time he'd seen the bollard but i actually saw it when i was walking a good distance away because of the bright colour of it and it was the only thing on the footpath. By doing that, he was avoiding eye contact completely with me and It did look like an act. I have heard him speak and he sounds quite placid and i am similar. We are both of a similar age group. He talks to other women he already knows and looks quite at ease talking to them and some of the older. Should i just forget about this one and move on?
