honest girl!

I'm starting to question whether this is the case. I have lost over 5 really good male friends over the years as all of them don't seem to understand what it is to be a friend.

I have never flirted or given them any indication that I want to take things further and see them as a "brother" type figure.

Just a few days ago a very good friend of mine that I have known for over 11 years made a pass at me at a family gathering. I was absolutely mortified and I am still in shock as he was the last person I would expect this from.He behaved very inapprioprately, started rubbing my legs and arms, making sexual suggestions, and even referred to me as his missus in front of people that I didn't even know. He asked me whether I found him attractive, and that because he has been single for over 15 years that we would make a great couple. He said some other things that I can't even repeat.

I told him to stop but he just kept going on and on and it really pi$$ed me off.

Eventually I went home and couldn't stop thinking about how it has now come to this, and now I am having a real hard time thinking that another friendship is now inevitably lost.

He phoned me the next day and he sounded really down and apologised for his erractic behaviour(which he and I knew was very unlike him) I told him that it should never happen again.

I want to know whether anyone has been in a situation like this, and whether a friendship has ever recovered because of an underlying attraction on one's part? I just don't know what to do from here. Should I let him go and have no further contact? or is that being too harsh?

I am starting to get the impression that men and women just cannot be good friends.

It seemed that he must have had a drink or something before the family gathering as he seemed quite out of it.

I have noticed many accidents and near misses on the roads and some of them I see are mostly foreign drivers. I've also heard that the majority of Driving Examiners in Britain are pretty strict and OTT and will fail you on miniscule of things.

What I would like to know, are foreign drivers who come over here to Great Britain exempt from taking our rigourous test?

We all know that Britain has one of the highest level of driving test standards in the world, and what is worrying is that places such as India, Bulgaria etc expect you to pass if you are capable of driving in a straight line.

How do you think that the Government should tackle this problem, that would enable everyone to get a fairer deal, rather than foreign drivers being let loose on our roads?

(This is a genuine question, and should NOT be taken as me being racist)

If you found out that your current partner may still be in contact with an ex, even though they swore blind and reassured you

constantly that there was NEVER and will NEVER be any contact since being in the relationship with you.

But then you find out that THEIR ex has tracked you down on a well known site, leaves you messages(non threatening)and is also trying to request YOUR own friends as their friends, and you also find out that they have your partner as a top friend and contact.

Would you be convinced that something is still going on between the pair(even though they supposedly split up a few years back)and your partner constantly reassures you anyhow. Or would you continue the relationship with your current partner (even though your instincts are telling you otherwise)and just resign it to the fact that their ex is a psycho to even be seeking you out like that?

What on earth would you do??

allowed to be named? What kind of legal reasons are preventing their name from coming out?
