Sorry, this is 3rd time i've posted this now, I just need as many thoughts on this as possible

I've been facebook friends with a guy in his 50's for about 18months now. We've only ever chatted on facebook and via text but we get on brilliantly and are planning to meet soon for a coffee as we live in the same town. It's NOTHING more than friendship, we have both made it clear to each other that it's strictly platonic and we do not want anything more. He doesn't confide in me about things as he is extremely private, he has a very small group of 'mates' and an even smaller group of people he'd class as 'friends'. But recently, he keeps saying we're best mates and could be great friends once we've met up. I don't feel at all uncomfortable with any of that, but it does make me wonder;

Is it REALLY possible to see a fb/text mate as a best mate before you've even met them?

Really people, do you not have a single brain cell in your heads?!

Take my ex, for example. Just before we split up i found that EVERY woman he'd tried his luck with (before we got together, and even behind my back) was a single mum (i'm a single mum myself, by the way). We split 3 months ago, and once again he's on the dating sites trying his luck with single mums only. I just don't understand why though, he is not from a single parent family, and only one of his friends has kids. He comes from a good family, has a really good job, owns his own house, has a very large bank balance, and has been to university. He did, however, live at home until he was 27, is the baby of the family, and his parents wrapped him in cotton wool as his older brother died some years ago. Hes no good for relationships though as he lies constantly and is always searching for someone better than the person he has, no matter how hard you try to make him happy.

He isnt a kiddy fiddler, but i do find it strange that he only ever goes for single mums. If i had known before getting together with him, i wouldnt have gone near him. If he was a single dad i'd completely understand, but he isnt.

I'm starting my degree later this year but would like to start reading useful textbooks for beginners that'll help me prepare. Can anyone recommend any?

A few months ago i was in bed one night just about to drop off to sleep and i felt like someone was stood right next to my bed watching me sleep. I woke up quick and nobody was there.

The other week in the middle of the night when i was fast asleep it happened again. Whatever it was was in my room next to my bed, then walked out and went to my daughter's room and stood at the stairgate at her door. By this point i was awake but couldnt move, my eyes were rolling back in my head and i felt like i was having some kind of fit. I don't have epilepsy and have never ever had any sort of fit.

Does anyone know what this thing is that keeps coming into my room and what it wants? Nothing bad has happened but it does feel slightly threatening. I doubt anyone has died here as we live in new build apartments that are only 5years old...

I split with my partner 3 months ago after a year together, since then I just have no interest whatsoever in males. I've looked to see whats out there, and came across a couple of guys who seem nice enough, but it never goes any further than just text chat as I just never want anything more from them. It doesnt feel like i'm not ready to move on, but maybe i'm missing something? How do I know wether i'm ready to move on or not???????????

It's worth pointing out at this stage that I am not still hung up on my ex or anything, I am perfectly happy without him and stopped having feelings for him a while ago. If anyone needs additional info to help with their answers, see my resolved question "why wasnt it enough?" which outlines what my last relationship was like.

I bought my laptop (dell inspiron m5030, if that helps) last week while in tesco, but realised a few days later that it doesn't have the windows license sticker on it anywhere. I've checked inside the box and it isnt in there either.

Can anyone tell me where i can get one, and what (if any) problems i will have without it (not performance-wise, obviously, but in any other sense) ?

My new ipad is being delivered tomorrow, i have never used one and know very little about them. I can get the hang of it as i go along, but at the moment i have 2 questions.

1) is it the same idea as the ipod touch and iphone, as in you buy itunes vouchers to download apps and whatnot?

2) will i be able to get proper (as in normal) facebook, like you would on a pc/laptop, or would it be the touch site version like you get on the ipod and iphone?

If anyone can help i would appreciate it x

About 10months ago, I hit the side of my foot on my daughters bed. Within 30 seconds it started to bruise and swell. I went to the doctor after 2 weeks as it was still painful, and he thought it was a fracture of the 4th and 5th metatarsals and arranged an xray but i didn't go. Anyway, as i said previously its been about 10months now, and it still hurts sometimes, especially when the cold gets into it! My ex, who knows about fractures, thought it was a break. Is there anyone who knows what it is more likely to be?

Am i the ONLY one who thinks that people who come here and take complete advantage of us, should be slung straight back out and their families with them?

When will the government realise that WE ARE FULL and in no position to give these freeloaders a free ride!

I tried so so hard to make my man happy. After a year and a severely battered ego i walked away. But i dont understand why he did the things he did?

I washed dried and ironed his clothes, cooked for him, never stopped him going out with his mates or complain about it, tried to cater for his needs in the bedroom, was there through the hard times, tried to help him through his porn addiction, tried to forgive him for trying to get into FIVE other womens knickers behind my back, and tried to forgive all the lies and hurt he had caused. Bear in mind ALL of that was within the first 9months of our relationship. If i was controlling, clingy or needy then i'd be able to understand why nothing i did was ever enough for him, but i'm not!

He had been single for 6years before he got with me, and apparently i was his 'first true love', which obviously is not true.

But seriously, where did i go so wrong??
