My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 3 months and known each other for like 10 years. We are both still living with our parents/she has a college apartment but she is always at home.

Im taking her out to a real nice place on Tuesday, but I’m ready for the relationship to move up. She’s more than ready, and so am I, but I think she is waiting for me to make the first move. How do I spruce up the evening rather than just driving to the restaurant, eating, and driving back? Neither of our houses/apartments are available for use.
I thought about that, but I want it to be a little more romantic than that. I don’t want it to just be sex. You know what i mean? And i just don’t think taking her to a hotel, especially just out of the blue doing it, would impress her much :/

I’ve known her for a very long time and I had a thing for her which was on and off for the past 5 years. It was after this trip we took with our other friends that I felt like there was something. We went to Disneyland and we spent almost the whole time together. I’m not really a fan of rollercoasters and one of the rides freaked me out so bad (because I didn’t expect it to be this frightening) I actually grabbed her hand and held on tight. She was okay with it and a couple of days later, we were just casually chatting online when she told me that I should get over my fear of flying [airplanes]. I have been deathly afraid of airplanes for almost 15 years and since I had so much fun with her at Disneyland, I told her that I’ll go with her (and the group) the next time she goes on a trip. She was surprised enough to say that if I’m afraid, that she’ll let me hold her hand again. On another day, when I brought up the hand thing again, I told her that I would only go on a trip because of her. Then she was (maybe jokingly) saying ‘what do you mean? you’re only going because you want to squeeze my hand?,” and i told her yes. when i lean towards her, she doesnt move away or anything. i really don’t know how to convey this clear enough but if i know this is flirting but because we’ve been friends for so long, she can’t be doing this as some kind of friendly gesture right? is she oblivious about my signs of affection towards her?

in my book, this is flirting, but ultimately, because we’ve been friends for so long, i don’t know what to make of it. i think i’ve made it apparent to her that I am starting to really like her. she drives, but i told her im gonna go all the way to her place to pick her up (even though she can drive). the next time i’m hanging out with her, it’s only going to be us two heading to a restaurant.

I fear my wife and I, after 22 years together and 10 years of marriage) are growing apart to the point of no return. I never imagined it would ever happen!! Is this a relationship worth saving or is it time to move on without one another?

We started dating when I was 14 and she was 13. We had a tumultuous high school relationship. We had many breaks during those 4 years and then longer ones during college when we both had relationships that lasted over a year and a half. We’ve been together continuously for the past 14 years.
We have two children who are 1.5 and 4.5. My wife stays home with the children and I work to provide. A few years ago, my professional business had me taking home about $175k / year. When the banks stopped giving my clients money, work dried up, I couldn’t maintain enough work to justify the monthly business costs and I dissolved my business partnership.
For the past year I have been bartending and just two months ago was asked to be the general manager of a new restaurant. I have felt so much better over the past year. Having been in school and then an office for 12 years, it was great to get out and meet people daily, make sure they were having a good time, working from the minute I walked in the door until I left. No more sitting at my desk emailing friends, messing around on the internet - come on…you know what I’m talking about:)
Anyhow, before this time, when I was working normal hours and returning at normal hours, my wife and I never really did anything. For the most part we’ve been couch potatoes for the past 14-15 years. Given the opportunity, we’d sooner have sat on the sofa, smoked some pot and watched tv and movies. All the time. 8 years ago we smoked cigarettes in our condo. disgusting. So we’d sit there and get high and chain smoke while flipping channels all night. 4 years ago, same thing - just no cigarettes. 3 months ago, do something productive during the kids’ naptime? No…sit and space out. Now that I’m working the hours that I am and with the satisfaction I get from personal interactions during the day and night, tv has no appeal to me.
For virtually our entire relationship, if we had free time we chose to spend it together. We liked being around each other so much I skipped sports practices all through high school. We both had only one or two close friends and also had many acquaintances. As we got older, it was still our preference to just be home alone with each other. During this course of time we managed to probably show up to see friends for drinks, attend a friend’s wedding, answer the phone (or return a call), etc. about 20% of the time. Reason #1? She didn’t want to go. She never wanted to go. Reason #2? I allowed her to make this decision for us. I used to say ‘we missed this _____ because of her.’ I recently realized that we missed, or at least I did, these events not because of her but because of me! I should have had the balls or whatever to put my foot down and said ‘Too bad, get dressed. This is important to me and important to them’, but I allowed her and her behaviors like this one to interfere with my life, the lives of other’s and the way I see her.
Furthermore, she is a stay at home mom who doesn’t really cook (yes for the kids, rarely for herself or for me), doesn’t put much effort into keeping the house that I work so hard for, and tells me that I don’t do enough around the house to ease her load! Oh yeah, I just opened a new restaurant and work 60-20 hours a day.

Now a Little About Me
At the same time, I am an ambitious person. I have lots of ideas - some are just ideas and some are the reason we have a roof over our heads, and a very nice roof at that. My mind is always going, even when it shouldn’t be sometimes. My wife doesn’t like it. Any new interest I have earns me a ‘it’s just one more thing to take you away from us.’ She claims I’m not present enough when I’m with her and the kids - which no matter how much time it is, apparently, is never enough.
I have ideas. Some are crap. Some aren’t. I’ve got ADHD, whatever that means to this discussion, but I’m predisposed to being fidgety and anxious. That’s not to say though that I can’t easily sit back and space out and be lazy. Clearly from what I’ve already said, I’ve fallen back on that behavior plenty over the years. And that, to me, is a huge part of my/our problem. I don’t like to use the term ‘dumb it down’, but whatever the right way to say it is…I reduce my ambition, my drive, etc. to more closely make us a better match. She has no interests, no hobbies - never has and I can’t imagine she ever will. I don’t know that I buy this whole business of finding something together. There have been a number of things over the years that I’ve attempted to get her interested in

There’s this Hispanic guy he’s 29 years old
10 years older than me
I met him when I was trying to drive a car
he states he’s an accountant
he states he’s only had sex with two girls in the past

He drives an Acura and told me he makes 10 K a month
He told me he rents a town house that’s 1600 a month located in Orem, Utah
he goes to bars a lot
and even invited me to a pricey five star bar the other day
I have the guy’s Facebook
and I googled him too
he states he’s an accountant on the internet too

I don’t know if I can trust him!
he asked me out on a date
and paid for all the food
he took me to a kind of pricey Chinese restaurant (If you guys know PFChang)
and bought me tres leche and flan
and on the way back he stopped the car and hugged me and kissed my fingers over and over
and tried to kiss me

Whether he’s really that rich I can’t say for sure
but if he’s rich
he must be a rich pervert!
I didn’t even know there was such thing as rich perverts!
are there?

Anyways, how can I tell if he’s lying?

The college hiking club is having a fund raiser to buy new equipment for fall and winter outings. The club is selling Chinese fortune cookies at a price of $2 per cookie. Each cookie contains a piece of paper with a different number written on it. A random drawing will determine which number is the winner of a dinner for two at a local Chinese restaurant. The dinner is valued at $33. Since fortune cookies are donated to the club, we can ignore the cost of the cookies. The club sold 718 cookies before the drawing. Lisa bought 18 cookies. Lisa’s expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. How much did she effectively contribute to the hiking club?
A. $35.17
B. $31.97
C. $15.15
D. $17.17
E. $16.17

My friend’s son, who is just 16, has been in a relationship with their neighbor - a single woman, with a high-flying career apparently - for the last one year. I can understand why he is attracted - she is incredibly beautiful - but we suspect this affair has gone beyond the platonic long ago.

His parents have spoken to him several times, and even forbade his meeting with the lady next door. But some of their friends and family have seen him hanging out at restaurants downtown quite often and once at an exclusive club resort just outside the city..

The problem is, the woman in question says she treats him as just a young friend as she finds him very intelligent for his age and generally good to talk to. And also that she is offended that his parents could even think such a thing about her.

How can his parents convince the boy to end the relationship?

I moved to U.S 10 years ago from Russia. I’ve been dating my gf since may 23. Shes a party girl, smokes weed, drinks & works at restaurant. She makes makes more money than me. I finished three semesters of college. While she skipped two appointments to sign up for her classes. She told me ” In a year were going to break up mutually & ill study at Chico state ” she parties with her friends a lot & in high school…shes been a slutty. She even admitted it.

She shows off to me..that she has a lot of money from tips. While I get barely, but i do have nice clothes, nice car & little bit of pocket money. I go to community college full time. And 3 girls told me, bad things about her.

Should we break up ? my own mother said…shes not for me

Here’s the background:

My parents are both over 70 years old and retired. They have no money, so they live with me in a house that I bought. My parents are traditional chinese, and expect kids to care for them when they are old. My parents do not speak English, thus increasing their dependency on my brother and I.

I am 28 years old. I’m in the second year of starting and running my own software business. Work takes up almost all of my time. I’m at the point in a person’s life where he is very ambitious and devotes all his time to his career.

Here’s the problem:
My parents keep complaining that my brother and I do not pay enough attention to them. My parents say we don’t care about them. Any time they ask me or my brother to do something, we don’t treat it as a priority. So they get upset when we lose patience teaching them how to turn off a cell phone for the 20th time, or why we still haven’t figured out some insurance thing for them, or why we still haven’t fixed the kitchen sink. Well, that’s because we actually do have more important things to do.

Additionally, what takes most people 3 seconds to explain takes my parents 5 minutes to explain. My parents, like the old people stereotype, talk forever and talk in circles. They never get to the point and they obfuscate stories with vague irrelevant details. My emails and phone messages are packed with urgent business calls, so I don’t have time to waste on incoherent ramblings.

As a child, my parents worked really hard in a restaurant. Everytime I wanted to talk to my parents, they would say, “can’t you see we’re busy? We’re already 3 months behind in rent. We need to put food on the table.” They worked non-stop for 10 years without ever taking a day off. We only got to talk to them for a few minutes during breakfast. I worshipped their ability to perservere, so it didn’t bother me that they never had time to spend with my brother and I.

Now the tables have turned. My brother and I are following in the footsteps of my parents by working non-stop. My parents are complain that we don’t care about them, even though we’re doing for them everything they did for us: ie. provide shelter and food.

But clearly, to them, that isn’t enough. And for my brother and I, we’re losing patience trying to explain to them for the 100th time how to turn on the TV.

How should we deal with this situation?

**People tell us the cliche that old people aren’t around much longer, and we should value our remaining time with them. This notion doesn’t resonate with me. I have too much work to care about cheesy cliches like that. What should I do to minimize frustrations dealing with old parents? In our culture, sending them to an old folks home is the most dishonourable thing to do.
Additionally, they are in heavy loads of debt which my brother and I are working to pay off on their behalf. It would be nice if they stopped complaining about how we’re not cleaning up their mess fast enough.
