Whether it’s at the movie theater (I don’t think I’ve ever heard a black person talk or yell loudly at the screen), or tipping generously at a restaurant, black people have the best manners. Why do you think that is?

Not at school because that is a rule. But say like the movie theaters.
Can a girl go in the mens restroom at a movie theater or restaurant.
Because the girl’s bathroom is messy, like dirty tampons and make-up on the
mirror so I want to go to the boys bathroom because I wouldnt have to deal with that

I live in a really small town that has absolutely nothing in it. I’m 14 years old and I want to take my girlfriend out but I don’t know where . There is no movie theater and no good and appropriate restaurants to take her. There are not any good parks either. HELP

Your at a restaurant or the movie theater (you pick). You see a girl you are attracted to and you want to get her number or at least start a conversation. How do you do it without looking like a jerk?

Ok, to start off, I have known my girlfriend for 7 years. I met her in high school, and have known her ever since. I never dated her before, we were more like acquaintances in high school, but not really considered as friends. I got back in contact with her in November of last year, and starting going out on dates with her, learning that we had a lot in common. We made our relationship more exclusive in January of this year, after learning that neither of us were seeing anyone else. To this date, we have been in a relationship for almost 3 months. I absolutely enjoy spending time with her, since I only get to see her maybe once or twice a week, and every thought of her puts a smile on my face. I was raised to be a gentlemen, so naturally, I treat my girlfriend with the utmost respect. I have paid for every date we have been on, including lunch, dinner, trips to the movie theater, etc. I always open doors for her, the car door and any other doors we happen to walk through, and I always pull out her chair when we’re out at a restaurant. I brought her flowers and some soup when she was sick, and i recently sent her flowers for no reason at all, just a spontaneous act to brighten her day, and she absolutely loved the flowers, i might add. I also respect her as a person and give her support and comfort when she needs it. Despite all that I have done for her, there are several things that confuse me about the relationship. I am always the one to initiate communication between us. I always seem to text her first, she never texts me until she receives a message from me first. I call her, she very rarely answers, and when she doesn’t answer, she never returns my calls. So it seems like the only time i get to have a real conversation with her is when i’m spending time with her. Rarely does she show affection towards me. She only seems to kiss and hug me during greetings, when we see each other first and when we say “goodbye” for the day. When we’re walking somewhere or we’re watching a movie, I will usually put my arm around her, and she doesn’t try to get closer and rarely shows emotion towards it. She does the same thing when i hold her hand while we’re riding in the car. Every now and then, I will make a sweet comment about her, and she gives a beautiful smile and blushes, but that seems the only time i receive true emotion from her. She has told me some personal things about her past that she would not normally tell anyone other than her best friend, so obviously she does seem to trust me a lot. She seems to enjoy spending time with me, but seems distant in reference to showing affection. I only get to spend time with her maybe once or twice a week, if i’m lucky, and I am always the one to ask her to spend time together, she never asks me. When I ask her why we don’t spend more time together, she says that she’s busy a lot, but she always seems to find the time to spend with her female friends, and not me, and I feel neglected from that, like i’m the last priority on her list. I do have a few friends, and I do spend time with them, so don’t think that I don’t have a life outside of the relationship with my girlfriend. I wish I had better communication with her, wish i could see her more, and also wish she would open up more.

I apologize for the long list of details, but they are necessary to understand the situation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am 23 years old, she is 22. We have been together for almost 3 months. We have not slept together yet.

Have you ever been in a movie theater or a nice restaurant [not McDonald's or Chili's] and had to endure the rudeness of others, like the parents who won’t discipline their out-of-control children?

Were you brave enough to say anything?

If so, what happened?

These kinds of situations fascinate me for some reason.

I just cannot understand how some people can be so rude as to talk and/or text during a movie or let their children run amok.

heres the deal,
its my best friends bday party tomorrow. at 6:30 we’re all gonna meet at this restaurant and eat dinner, then at 8:00 we’re gonna head to the movie theater and see a movie.

anyways i have practice from 5:30-7:30, but since its my friends bday im going to leave early. so my mom called my friends mom to find out when they were planning on leaving the restaurant (so she can know wether or not to drop me off at the restaurant or the movie theater depending what time i arrive)

anyways then her mom started rambling on about how theres already going to be 11 people and the restaurants really small! (so pretty much she prefers if i dont come) but i find this rather rude and horrible ettiquite as a host. i dont feel welcome to come, i guess shes using the fact that since im the only person whos coming late, that i shouldnt come to the dinner so it will be easier on them.

well the thing is, i COULD leave practice early enough to make it in time. but now i dont really want to if she prefers if i dont come? what should i do? i mean im the only one out of the 6 other girls who are coming straight from practice. they all eiehter dont have practice on fri, or their practice ends at like 4:30. so they would have time to eat beforehand if needed.

but im the ONLY one whos coming straight from practice meaning i dont get that chance to eat. so if i just show up for the movie, i wont have eaten any food, and trust me, i play lacrosse, i NEED the food after practice desperately.

what should i do? i sort of want to find a very discreet way to make them feel bad for not exactly wanting me there, cause in a way, it was a huge diss. yet i dont want to embarrass anyone but seriously, i was so embarrassed when my mom told me what happened!

(not that they’re all shy but around here it really seems like that, honestly)

the place to go on friday nights here is the movie theater and hanging out at the restaurants and stuff around it. i always walk around with my buddies and i see a lot of cute girls in groups without guys but i honestly don’t know how to approach. would that be weird? i mean i like the lookies and eye contact and stuff but how do you just go up to them? idk. i just know how to do it 1 on 1 and in classrooms but not that good at public,

so thanks in advance for any advice
