He's taken and I'm smitten, what do I do?
Okay I met a guy about a year ago and I have been smitten with him every since. When I met him I believe he was single but I was deathly afraid to approach him, plus I figured if he was single and was interested he would approach me. Well about 4 months ago I found out that he was interested but was told I was in a relationship by a mutual friend... which was not true. He has since started a relationship with someone else though. A friend of mine asked him was the relationship serious and he said no, but he was still involved non-the less. He also said that if he were not involved with her he would for sure be interested in me. (I did not have my friend ask him these questions, I could have killed her!) Anyway, I see him from time to time indirectly through his business. I am truly taken by this guy, nothing sexual like that; he is just a great guy that I can appreciate at this stage in my life. I am not interested in anyone else, and am not currently dating. Do I literally sit back and wait for his relationship to end? I wouldn’t dare do anything to jeopardize his relationship because I'm just not that kind of person. How do I busy myself until this relationship has ended, and once it's ended do I approach him or just wait and let him approach me? I think he is worth the wait. Any suggestions?

2 AnswersOther - United States1 decade agoChris Brown Saga. Why has the media convicted him already?
I have been quietly listening to this Chris & Rihanna mess and I'm really upset that all these celebs are jumping on the bandwagon of dogging Chris. Only those 2 know what happened, yet in the media Chris is already convicted and according to certain celebs, should spend the rest of his life in jail. How do we know that Rihanna is not the attacker? Just because she came out on the bad end of the stick does not mean that she did not attack him. I am certainly not condoning violence of any kind, but when is it okay to defend oneself? If she "snapped" and attacked him and he defended himself, how does that make him the bad guy? He could not have "snapped" also? Is it only okay for a man to defend himself if... lets say the woman had a gun? A knife? Do we know if she had anything? With all these questions left unanswered how can the media take sides? Does she have a rage problem? Was it a jealous rage? Who knows! Chris could very well be the attacker and at fault in this whole situation, but until we know the facts (which we will not know until both sit down for an interview) then we should leave the "celeb interventions" alone. All these celebs getting arrested for DUI and drug charges, where are the Oprahs and Robin Givens taking a stand and wanting to reach out to them. Is that not just as dangerous as a violent relationship? One of those people can kill YOUR relative driving on the streets intoxicated.
I just want to know if I am the only one that feels this is WAY out of control and the media is not being fair. If he is at fault, then yes, convict and sentence him!!! Meanwhile get him some help. But what if this is all her fault, what do we do then? Sweep it under the rug? Turn our heads and say "oops". Or still convict Chris because "he has no right to put his hands on a women". A person (man or female) can only be beaten so many times before they fight back. We tell men "just walk away" but we hug console the women in a violent relationship that cant just "walk away" for financial reasons or whatever the case may be. Why does the man not get the same thing? Because he has a penis? I think that is a major double standard that we need "help" the media clear up. It's one for all and all for one, man or female. How do you feel?
2 AnswersMedia & Journalism1 decade agoComplicated Relationship. What should I do?
My boyfriend and I have a 7 yr history, off and on. Right now we are together and things are very different and difficult. First thing is I have some major medical problems that I have been dealing with for a very long time and I am in pain a lot and my patience is very thin. But he doesn't seem to understand this. He says he does, however he wants all my time and energy but I am literally drained. Second, he has become very argumentative about small things. He has been hurt in the past and is determined not to let it happen again. I understand as I am in the same boat. The major problem that I am dealing with and is a deal breaker is he blows everything out of proportion. If I say "no, I don't that is the way it should go" he has turned it into me yelling and screaming at him when I didn't even raise my voice or even be mad for that matter. Every time he "remembers" a conversation we’ve had, it’s totally wrong, of course making me out to the villain every time. I literally have to speak in monotone so he can’t say I am yelling. The other thing is he "reads my body language" so if I say "yes I'm interested in XYZ, lets do it" he'll start an argument because my body language says I really am not interested. He is ALWAYS wrong when reading my body language but holds it against me like he was right. It's all in his imagination, (which is PRETTY VIVID) What do I do? Is this something that can change or will he always not trust what I say because he thinks he can read body language? He is now accusing me of cheating, but every time I try to provide evidence that I'm not (review my phone bill, keep my phone, access to email, etc) he declines it. I think he does this so he can hold it over my head and have something to argue about. I am not cheating, and have no desire to. I am not a person that likes drama and arguments all the time, is this relationship worth saving or am I just giving myself unnecessary grief. Counseling? What should I do?

1 AnswerSmall Business1 decade agoDo you have to say "I love you" back?
When someone tells you that you love them and you do not have the same feelings, what do you say? I have been talking to a guy for about 2 months now. It's only been a committed relationship for about 2 weeks. He has said that he was falling in love with me before, but last night he actually said I love you. I don't love him. I care about him and the feelings are growing by leaps and bounds, but I am not in love. I felt really bad because all I said was thank you. Was that appropriate? What do you say when someone tells you they love you and the feeling is not mutual?
7 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoExperience. Senator Hillary Clinton or Senator Barack Obama?
I've been reading and keeping up on the political debates that have been going on. The one thing that I keep hearing from the Clinton camp is that Obama lacks experience. I understand that Hillary entered the US Senate in 2001 and Barack entered in 2005. Has Hillary done any governmental jobs prior to that? I think people are running her and her husband, Bill's, accomplishments together. HE served as US President. Can we then let Hillary put that on her resume? To me, both are new to US Government, Hillary may have a slight lead of 4 years, but it is not enough to call her opponent inexperienced, or is it?
14 AnswersElections1 decade agoCan you revive your 1st love?
I recently (within the past week) came back into contact with my 1st love. I was 16 when we began seeing each other and we dated for 5 years. (He is 5 yrs older than me). I did something to cause our relationship to end, but it didn't end on a bad note. He forgave me, but moved on, got married etc. I have since relocated to another state and we have had no contact for about 8 yrs. This past week we have been talking on the phone (through the help of a mutual friend) and all those very familar and loving feeling came rushing right back. The relationship was good, he was great. We're both single now, and although we haven't discussed it, should this be something I persue? Or leave the past in the past? Can it work after so long being apart? One big hurdle would be he has a business in his state and I have a business in my state and neither one of us would be able to relocate any time soon. What should I do?
5 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoQuestions regarding Sis & Ex Bro in law?
My brother in law and my sister have been divorced for about 13 yrs. He is still very much apart of our lives because he got the kids after the divorce, so of course we all had to stay in contact to be in the kids lives. About 3 months ago my OTHER sister and my brother in law moved in together. He relocated from a different state (with the kids) and now they all live together. Although everything seems on the up and up on the surface, is this strange? Everything is referred to as "us" or "we" and now they are about to become business partners. It seems from conversations their money and time is intermingled much more than roommates need to be. Should this be an issue if they are secretly a couple or is this dead wrong?

If you are in a committed, mature relationship, and the intimacy is great, and the foreplay is great, how can the actual act of having sex be bad?

2 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhen is enough enough?
My ex is not my sons father but he treats my son as if he was his own. We were engaged 2 be married but we didn't (long story, my fault). He is still active in my sons life & I didn't have a problem with it until recently. It seems as if he is trying 2 "take over". My son has a father, knows his father, & his father is very much apart of his life so it's not like he lacking a positive role model in his life. But my ex is making long term decisions about my child (wanting to look at private schools etc) when I think he is overstepping his boundaries. We've had this disscussion before but he says he loves my son & it's out of love that he do what he does. I totally believe that he has my sons best interest at heart but how do I tell him to back off? He does't have 2 step out the pict all the way, but he does need 2 let me and my sons father do the parenting and he be more like "unlce".Nothing is going on w/me & ex & my son father doesn't know the extent of ex involvement in my sons life.
3 AnswersFamily1 decade agoEx vs Something else?
Okay, me and my ex have been separated for about 4 years. We have a child together so we actively are in each other lives. He has since gotten married, although they are now separated and I have had other relationships as well. Now that he is single he has asked me if we can try again. There was nothing "wrong" with our relationship, we really just didn't try. We get along great and we share space with no problem. Aside from being parents we are good friends. We are always calling each other for advice (even relationship) etc. Anyway, I am seeing someone else now, although it's not a committed or sexual relationship (I am celibate) but feelings are there. I like the new guy but the love I have for my ex is RIGHT below the surface. Would it work with new guy with ex still in the picture (we have a child) or should I try things with ex one more time?
13 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoIs mom being mean?
Situation. Dad & Mom splits. Dad goes overseas & takes a job for 2 yrs. Dad gets remarried. Dad comes back 2 the states & brings Wifey over about 1.5 yr later. Wifey is a liar, she is deceitful, and you can not trust her. (Out of the mouth of Dad) Wifey has made some comments, such as "I do not want to deal with your kids" etc. So Mom tells Dad 'kid can not come over, you need to see him outside of your time with wifey'. Dad agrees. Dad has barely seen kid. Dad and Wifey are going out of town for the weekend and Dad wanted kid to go. Mom doesn't like it but says okay. Wifey gets pissed because she doesn't want Kid to come & gave the excuse that he may get hurt. (Kid is 3, Dad & Wifey had a 1 yr old) What can Kid do 2 get hurt @ the beach that their kid won't do? Anyway so Mom says, that's it. Kid can not be around Wifey because she doesn't want him around. Dad agrees at first, but now that's it hard to see kid, he thinks Mom should give Wifey another chance. Should Mom give in?
1 AnswerOther - Family & Relationships1 decade agoConcerned ex step mom. Please help!?
My sons sister, who just recently turned 7, came for a visit. (Me and their dad are not together, but I love her just the same) She wrote and said some very troubling things i.e. KISS THE ONE YOU LOVE GOODBYE and LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF. Her dad was concerned about her and boys, so I pulled her aside & had a "mom to daughter" conversation with her and I discovered that she is in an abuse relationship with her boyfriend at school (I know, she's only 7) but he makes her do degrating things like follow him around the playground and not play with her friends, and he tells her that he will kill her. Of course I brought it to her dads attention and in return he brought it to her mothers attention. Her mother basically disciplined her, didnt get to the root of the problem as to why she is doing these things or allowing these things to be done to her. So, my question is now what? What should be said or done to get her out of the situation. Her mom is NOT a help & she's long distance. NE advice?
