I am a caring person. I love to help others, although I generally neglect myself. My answers may not always be the popular ones, but I can guarantee that they are sincere and well thought out. I am single, now. I have 2 wonderful children that I am very proud of. I live right outside of New Orleans, LA. I have been through plenty, so I hope some of you will benefit from my experience.

  • What do I do about this situation?

    I am going through a rough patch right now. I really don't want a relationship, but this guy keeps imposing himself into my life. I am a kind person, but this is getting annoying. He is neither my type, nor even someone I could respect enough for a relationship. In my opinion, he is lazy and irresponsible. Now I need to know how to turn him off. (I did not intentionally turn him on. I was just being my normal friendly self.) I have told him how I feel, and he says we are only friends, but he just won't stop trying for more. Should I just avoid him altogether or what? I just hate to be mean, since he really is nice to me. What should I do?

  • What digital camera would you recommend?

    I do not have a lot to spend, so I need to make this a worthwhile buy. I will be selling things online, so I will need a camera to present my products and is easy to share online. I do not know anything about digital cameras, so any info will be appreciated.

  • Gift suggestions for men please?

    I have 5 men's stockings to put two gifts into. One has to be under $5 and the other under $10. Then I have a 45 year old man that does not smoke or drink to buy a gift under $25. He does hunt, but I can't think of anything unique that he might not have already. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We live in the South, if that helps.

  • Tired of hearing about how woman do not tkae care of themselves?

    after they get into relationships. I know more men that have huge beer bellies, wear torn up nasty looking shirts like they were prizes, and do not take regular baths just because they already have their "old lady".

    It is not the normal for either gender not to take care of themselves just because they are in a relationship. They just are seen in situation where it is more comfortable or more practical to wear something that might not look great on them. Both usually eat more, because they are not on the go so much that they miss meals.

    Most men have more time for working out, because when many of the wives or gfs get home they are usually expected to cook dinner, take care of the kids, wash clothes, and be sure that the house stays clean.

    I say let it go. Love should never be about looks.

    Any rebuttles??

  • Ladies-over 30- I have already asked the guys I need your input?

    I met this guy about 6 months ago. He was great, but I noticed a change after a month or so. Come to find out that he was getting over a previous gf of 3 yrs. but he has known her for 25 years. They had only been apart 8 months.

    All of a sudden, she seems to be back in the picture. She doesn't want him, but she wants him to still want her.

    I really care about this guy, but I am beginning to feel taken for granted, and somewhat used.

    What can I do to make him realize what he has in me? He says that he loves me, but I know that he still has love for her too.

    He gets angry every time I try to talk to him about the situation. He says that I should not even bring it up. That just frustrates me more.

    I need a strategy to turn him around, or I am out of there.

  • One more question guys--Do country guys and city guys think differently about how to treat a lady?

    I am still confused about this guy. You see I am from the city, New Orleans, and he is from the country in Mississippi. He is also a few years younger than me, but not a huge difference. I am not used to guys jumping in head first, but this one appears to have.

    He tells me that I am his "Fairytale Princess", and that he hopes he knows how to keep me happy. Everything I say I like, or don't like, he remembers. It is like he is totally focused on me, but not in a stalking type way.

    I would ordinarily run, but he is my type as far as looks go and he has a nice sense of humor, which is important to me.

    Give me some clues, please!!! What should I expect that will be different from the normal city guy. Could he be for real?

  • Guys, I need your opinion on this one!!! Mature answers only please!!?

    When I met him, he was nice. After we dated, I realized that he did not treat me like I was used to being treated. I told him that I did not want to see him again, but he persisted. He is acting more like the person I thought he was now. He has become more respectful, and now says that he loves me. He says that I am different from the other women that he has been with, and he believes that I am the girl he will end up marrying.

    I am not ready for the marriage part right now, but my question is this---Do guys sincerely change if they fall hard enough for a girl, or is this just an act? I just hate to waste my time, because I will kick him to the curb if he takes me for granted again.

    I am a good woman that is not jumping into the sack with every Joe Blow. I take care of myself, and I always try to look especially nice when I am with a gentleman. I have a good job, and I am fairly well educated. Please tell me what you think about this situation.

  • Why am I doing this? A guy i have been seening seems so nice at times.?

    I just can't help but think that he is BSing me. I am not sure if it is because I was deceived after a 12 year relationship, or what. I feel so insecure and even jealous. I hate insecurity and jealousy, and have never been this way before. I am always looking for him to deceive me. I guess what I need is to know is if I should just fully trust him, or continue to be suspicious. We live an hour apart, and I realize that long distance relationships are hard, but that isn't very far. He always tells me that he loves me, and talks about us eventually moving in together. Am I being unfair? Am I just to fragile right now to have a relationship with anyone right now?

    It has been almost two years since the split, and I have not gotten involved with anyone else since. I would really love to have someone by my side. I am very attracted to him both physically and mentally. By the way, he is 9 years younger than me, but neither of us are really young, and I look young for my age.

I asked if he had a gf, he said no, i asked if he had any complications in his life, he said no. What was that promise he made, "Oh baby, I would never lie to you." Today I find out that he has a gf, and about 5 other things that create way too much drama for me. Thank goodness I had the sense not to allow myself to fall for it.

    What is it with these jerks anyway. How would he have felt if I tried to play him like he tried to play me? Don't they even care that we have feelings?
