I want to get a job, but I’m not sure if I’m too young or not. I always see “help wanted” and “hiring” signs by small stores and restaurants when I walk by. Am I allowed to work at those places or am I too young?

So, there is this guy that I am interested in…knew him when I was 16 working at a restaurant, he was the cool server in his 20’s that everyone liked…now I’m 19, and he seems interested in me, and I’m interested too…my question is…I’m seeing signs that make me question whether he is someone I want involved with or not…he DOES have a good job, and he DOES go to sleep early, both of which I like…but I worry, due to past relationships, that certain aspects of his life mean he may be immature of undependable.

For instance…he got a great deal on a really nice car awhile ago…I saw it and drove around in it and everything…now he says the dealer took it back, that it was a long story he’d tell me later…that sounds odd to me…he has no license right now since he didn’t have a car and no insurance…and then the apartment he lives in now…he was sharing it with his girlfriend until she moved out of state for college (they are not going to do long distance. They’ve broken up) and I saw it, it was really nice…he said he was looking for a roommate, and when I asked him awhile later how the search was going, he said that he found out that his apartment is getting sold and so he needs to find another one, though he hopes to find one in the same complex.

I’m scared of getting tricked, I suppose…or used, for anything…money, rides…he only asked me for a ride once to get him to the office to fix his license, but why did he ask me, someone he only just started talking to again?

I worry…I want to believe he is just getting some tough luck…how am I to know if he is, for lack of a nicer word, a loser, or if he is just having some tough times?

So, we were in V.A. (I live in N.C.) and we went to this restaurant. Where I was completely starstruck I saw the most amazing guy ever working there. Long story short I was interested and he gave off signs of interest to, but I mean it has been four week and that was the first and last time I saw him. Some how I stumbled upon his profile on facebook and learned he is four years older then me. me=junior high school and him=sophomore college :( Oh well I guess it doesn’t really matter..I mean nothing will ever happen. I just thought it was odd that I saw his profile, but wasn’t even looking for him..In general he is the most amazing person I have ever met, but oh well! What do you think? Dreams never become reality.. :( :( Just the feeling that took over when I saw him..It was amazing. I don’t understand how I could have had those feelings for someone I only saw for a few moments. haha, I kept finding excuses to go past him…OH and also he wasn’t our waitor nor was it his job to wait on anyone. He was the host, but he kept coming to our table to ask if we needed anything and he didn’t do that for anyone else..Sigh, maybe I am just silly I don’t have a facebook I was using a friends to show her the restaurant we went to, to suggest it to her..That and it would be weird to friend someone, who you don’t really know. Just some random guy at a restaurant..I don’t think that would get our relationship to a good start..

One of my besties is really upset and posted this question, but only got about 3 answers. Plz help her out!

there is restaurant that i would like to buy out but don’t know the first thing about business. the location is great food is awesome and for the past 9 years I have gone there almost every day and its showing no signs of failing I am still in high school but i know i can do this and i would really appreciate some help

Were doing a mock trial for HR and the victim, a waitress at a restaurant, slips on water from a leaking roof, that the boss was aware of and did not fix up, as a result she slips falls out the window and dies. So is that classed as manslaughter?
Yeah, its meant to be an OH&S issue, so yeah, he knew, and was repeatedly told to get it repaired but he ignored it. There were no signs that the roof was leaking to warn anyone or anything Okay, this is a fake court case, it never really happened, im just writing up the script at the moment and am not sure whether to sue for negligence or charge for manslaughter…

I picked this girl up from her house and we drove to a restaurant. the car ride was ok, there was so light conversation, and the dinner conversation lasted for about an hour. we barely ate our food. it was mostly her talking but i told her some things about me, nothing that she didn’t already know. anyway, while the movie was going on she seem to relax a lot, she showed the signs like playing with her hair and shifting closer to me a little. On the drive back she sugessted a faster route home, which sacred me a little, but then the whole 10 min car drive was just me driving nervously not saying anything. I pulled up to her house and she thanked me for the dinner and walked to her door alone. i drove off kicking myself because i didn’t know what to do so about 2min down the road i turn around and go back to her house. when she answered the door i told her that this wasn’t the way i wanted it to end and i that she was a beautiful and wonderful girl, and im glad to have taken her out. then i said goodnight drove home. was that desperate?
yea im not crazy, i just really liked her not in the obsessive way, i just don’t get that many chances with women.

Your Open QuestionShow me another »
Am I sensitive? I hope girls answer me too?
I know a girl for a while now she is not my girlfriend but my favorite friend, and I know that she likes me a lot, she always texts me for hangouts, I ask/text much less for hangouts because I am shy. Well sometimes when I text her she either texts back late, or doesn’t reply and saying she didn’t receive anything. I don’t think she is lying because I see a lot of good signs from her for liking me her as she invites me for hangouts and tells me to be with her. Few weeks ago she went on training abroad and texted saying I miss you, which make believe she is not lying at all about receiving my texts, and I know that she is a good girl. For Example: Today I was planning to gather with very good friends of us, I texted her saying that “can you join us at that restaurant tonight?” but she didn’t reply at all, while yesterday she texted me about “what about a brunch on friday?”. Another Example, I texted her after I helped her in a social problem asked her “Do you feel better now after what happened and etc ?” the next few days she said I didn’t receive anything. also After week I texted her for a gathering and she replied a bit late.

I tried to discuss this issue with people online and specially with those I met today at the restaurant, it appeared that many people suffer from this negative feeling after texting, which is better the not replying.

Also I she complains sometimes about her mobile (BlackBerry) for being not good, I even noticed her telling someone on facebook “If I only can get my mobile work properly”.

So what do you think the problem is? Do you think its normal? Do you think I am sensitive (Many people say that I am sensitive? please tell me anything this girl is my best friend
Thank you in advance

I have been dating my boyfriend for five months now and everything has been perfect, except for one thing that just keeps tugging at the back of my mind. He has been the perfect gentlemen and hasn’t displayed any abusive behaviors. The only thing is that when we are in public he has an affinity for holding my hand (which I don’t mind) but he also seems to always want to be as close as possible to me. If we are at a restaurant he will sit next to me in the booth and will put his arm around me. My god daughter actually commented on it when we were out to eat the other day saying it was “weird”. We live quite a distance apart so we only get to see each other twice a week, which I think might contribute to this…he is also a generally affectionate person. He is a very quiet reserved person, but hasn’t displayed any other signs of a potential controller or abuser. My mother was in an abusive relationship so I am very paranoid in general. I just wonder if this would make any one else get weirded out a little, or maybe he is just more comfortable with PDA than me? (We are both 23 years old by the way, so its not weird high school stuff). The closeness seems to come naturally to him and even though it makes me a little uncomfortable it is definitely not make or break for the relationship, he has honestly been a fantastic boyfriend in every other way. I just needed some insight into this to see what people might think of the strange need for public closeness.

My grandmother is 68 years old. She takes sleeping pills sometimes as well as medicine for other minor health problems, although I’m not exactly sure what. Mental illness and depression may run in her family because of unfortunate events that have happened to them but I haven’t heard of anything extremely serious. As for her, she’s had heavy financial problems in the past and my grandfather died a few years ago.

About a couple weeks ago, she began hearing things. She believed that her son (my uncle) had a girlfriend who hid in her house every night. Skip to almost 2 months ago, my mom and my aunt, who didn’t know she had a mental illness at the time, decided it would be a good idea for her to visit us in the US (she lives in Taiwan). She stayed in CA with my aunt for a month, during which I’m 100% positive she showed signs of mental instability, but for some reason, my aunt didn’t say anything to us about it. She then came to New York to stay with my family two weeks ago and has been driving us crazy.

-She hears voices or sees people who are not there.
-She screams at my “aunt” and claims she lives next door to us. (My aunt is the only one of her children who doesn’t send money to her.)
-She wakes my mom up every morning sometime from 3-5AM and occasionally keeps her up for half the night with her yelling.
-She hides her passport and cash in various places thinking we’re going to steal it, forgets that she hid it, and accuses us of stealing her things.
-When she’s not b*tching at my aunt, she’s b*tching about going back to Taiwan. She believes that we buy and cancel her flight many times for no reason. She says she saw evidence of this on the computer, which she doesn’t know how to use.
-Today she refused to leave McDonald’s saying that she had a reason for doing so but didn’t want to tell us. We tried to convince her for 2 hours to leave until my mom asked a policeman to tell her to go out.
-She nags us to death about going out to a restaurant to eat even if the fridge is full and no one is hungry. At the restaurant, she doesn’t eat more than a few bites. Then, in one of her fits, she accuses us of starving her. She also said that my aunt and her family were trying to kill her by starving her to death on purpose.

Sorry that I typed up so much. Thanks so much if you could help.
Oh yeah - sorry I never really asked a real question. I have no knowledge in this topic, so, what do you think she has? Dementia? Schizophrenia?
I keep forgetting to add things in - one of the most frustrating things about dealing with her is that she thinks that whatever you tell her is a lie. If you finally get to convince her, she forgets within the next 30 seconds to 2 minutes and starts the same argument with you again.
