I'd confront them. They're getting off easy if you say nothing.

I'm so thrilled. I've been working out for 5 weeks and just got into a size smaller pants!!! I was really discouraged earlier in the week....miracles do happen!

My best friend runs a daycare and one of the little ones she watches is deaf.

When she asked me to help her one day, I was nervous about how to communicate with the toddler.

He was signing to me and I asked her what he was saying, She said he keeps saying to you.... "I need a hug..."

I melted....and dropped down on my knees, cried while I hugged him.

Very sad indeed. I've learned that their are wolves in sheeps clothing and sheep in wolves clothing. Need to look a little hard, search a little deeper, think a little longer.....be cautious...before throwing caution to the wind....(putting it alittle dramatically...)

I still maintain that amongst the men I've dated, the ones I respected and liked the most asked me to hold my hand or give me a hug...maybe its my boundary thing and the fact they didn't cross over without my ok was good for me. Maybe not good for everyone else. I don't mind a door being opened --that's something one would do for a complete stranger but you wouldn't, for instance, hold a strangers hand after meeting them for the first time. I would definitely pay for my own dinner....

what facts do you have to back that up?

Sandy....You can't steer the boat by looking behind you. The past makes us who we are today but it doesn't keep us grounded in it unless we choose to be there...so steer your boat forward and be happy with who you are inside...the rest will come

Try this. Tell him you are interested and if he is ever free (which he isn't) then look you up! It's morally and ethically wrong to get into a relationship without getting out of one...

I recently dated a rattle snake who will eventually kill himself with his own poison....

i walked on the track and sweat down my back until it rained....down my back. i am a very, smelly & dirty girl...

i immediately touched my toes...thank god i'm not cursed....

i think people see a button and they have to click on it....even though it says "favorite"

i was the quiet gal who never raised her hand but knew all the answers. i still know all the answers....

only if i get to throw the first punch....

If they've decided "not to ever go there" then it works. I have a best friend that is a male. We know its in our best interest to say "friends only". But I sure have never let him spend the night either....not even on the couch.

I say, "that's ok" when I'm thinking..."that's NOT ok!!!!" Working on it.

Certainly alot of different views here but I know one thing....I personally think holding hands is intimate...not a casual thing especially when the guy brags that he has 3 or 4 meet & greets... after the one he is on.....so, is he holding hands with everyone??? Not my thing. He's looking for love anywhere he can get it. Holding hands to me is a non-verbal..."I think you are special...." and not something you do 5 minutes after meeting someone. Surely that wasn't a good match.

I believe a person should ask the person they want to hold hands with for the first time.

I think its a show of healthy respect for a persons boundaries.

Maybe I'm wrong...what do you think?

what I want and what I think I need r 2 very different things.
what I look for and what I get r 2 very different things.

patience is the key here.

your parents did the best they could with the tools they had to work with. they didn't know any better. they shoulda but maybe didn't. forgive them. forgive yourself for looking for that validation

that's a good one!
