Thanks everyone!

Camborio, great suggestion... but I should have mentioned that the people who attend the things I enjoy are usually a lot older than me with the exception of the open mic nights...

I know this isn't new and I have read answers to others' questions but I feel as if I need to add my personal info to get advice specifically for me.

So, I'm looking to make new friends (girls)...

Real friends accept our differences.
With Real friends you can even celebrate your differences!
Real friends aren't concerned with your material things or the lack of because they are blinded by...

First, I'd like to say that what you did, public display of affection wasn't terrible. Maybe you two disagree on that subject but that's just it, nothing to fret about. In the future just know where...

Like I said above: The only sign I can see from this is that he hasn't approached you to further your relationship...
Now, Is that a sign that he's not interested? I can't say for sure but I would...

Has this behavior just started or has it always been a little rocky?

In my opinion... I think you should start to move on.
Don't even consider: "Will she ever want me back."

She's young and fickle and like most her age... she probably doesn't know who she is and...

I have a 5 month old female Blue American Pit bull.

For the most part she is a joy to be around!

However, when she is left home alone she barks and whines hysterically (I record her with a...

Ok, so I think this is an interesting topic and wanted to really find out about the validity of the "You're too young to be a vegetarian" argument.

Basically I found that, like losing weight,...

I know you said that things are fine now but I wanted to respond because I was in this situation with my current boyfriend...

He's like yours. He is attractive and he doesn't even know it (which...

It sounds like you are holding on to a fantasy.
The fantasy being the perception of this past relationship or the person you felt you were during that relationship.

You say... "I can do nothing...

I learned how important it is to really listen to and trust my instincts.

And most importantly, I am not powerless if someone tries to manipulate me but I become weak when/if I choose to live in...

It doesn't make sense that, She says you hurt her many times and You say never did...
This alone seems like a major communication problem.

Try giving her space, no calls, no texting, no stopping...

Weren't there things you really didn't like about him... Try replacing these good/happy thoughts with his annoying habits and quirks!
(If you can't think of anything bad about him, I guess you...

What's really interesting is that you've dated 23 before him yet you are really hung up on this one guy!
So, did you learn anything from the others?. Like: people come and go, Not everyone is meant...

So, You've already dated 23 other guys before this one and have dated more since him and you still want him back?

You need to SLOW down!
Stop dating for a while, focus on yourself and your...

Either your mom is trying to protect you from the unknown in this situation or she's simply being judgmental... From what you describe, she seems to only be looking at the surface of your friend's...

Basically, It's a Her home Her rules kind of deal.
No she shouldn't treat you this way but you can't stop her so, What Can You do?

Meanwhile saving to move out:

-Spend your free time doing...

Psychic, Fortune teller thing aside,
The best way to find out is to talk to the guy to see if he's interested in dating you... If so, you can always ask him to do something fun with you=date!

Wow this is a tough one.

What's worse.

Telling a lie about a second job, holding in the truth and feeling guilty and worried that they may find out later...

OR

Facing their reaction if...

Wonderful Point, Wondergirl :)

I think it's easy to get wrapped up in being the provider especially for single moms and the guilt is so heavy and blinding that maybe there should be a reminder...

I totally agree with Altenweg, You shouldn't beat yourself up about the material things (clothes etc.)...
If their clothes aren't stained, ripped and ragged then they are perfectly fine and that...

This is a BIG red Flag, you have a friend that you can be open with but can not do the same with your partner of over 10 years!

I can understand the questioning to a certain extent but You also...

Telling her won't help you or her... You may think it will make you feel less guilty but it will only hurt you both...

Why would you want to tell her, What can she do with that information?
...

For safety reasons above anything else I think it would be best if you didn't travel alone or If he came to your hometown but not to your home (right away)...

Also, If you both want to see each...

I agree N0help4u and think it's important to clarify that:

These kids don't HAVE to "manage" so don't feel the need (through guilt) to put them through this with the idea that it will toughen them...

I think you are doing the right thing by keeping your children away from your dad. He's your dad true enough but if your children's father were treating your kids this way I'm sure no one would...

Your mom probably just wants you to keep this in perspective. You've known the girl for some time but you are 13 and have only been "dating" for a week. Buying a gift would be a little too soon for...

You're right the regisrty doesn't grant the father rights, I guess it's used to give the father an opportunity to claim the child, especially in the event of the mother wanting to keep him out of the...

There's the Putative Father's Registry in some states.

Simply put that's BS... and I can't be more polite about it.

The both of you don't have the guts to leave your spouses so you keep playing games with each other to have some fulfillment that you...

tadita83 did exactly what I am going to suggest to you... Volunteer.

I joined clubs during high school and participated in sports but nothing gave me more joy than helping others.

I volunteered...

... I can only say to get a lawyer so that you can have some representation at the hearing and have the information about what can be done to ensure she doesn't take this any further or continue...

I saw a story on Dr. Phil where an unmarried couple conceived, the mother was no longer involved with the guy during the pregnancy and decided (w/o the father's consent) to have the baby adopted.
...

I was diagnosed very quickly in fact my primary doctor knew I had it just from the description I gave her of my symptoms, I was sent to a specialist and had tests (including a spinal tap and MRIs)...

"I told them both whatever happens between them please leave me out of it."
Good! Although what they are doing is very disrespectful and thoughtless, It kind of isn't your business to worry about....

Im 21 and I wouldn't go for a 28 yr. old man (if I were single)... so I can't understand why he's interested in her and why she's entertaining the thought of him being a partner (to each it's own I...

I think you should stop saving up to be with him and visiting him and make yourself available/open to meeting an available man.

You may have a nice relationship with him but he is committed to...

If your mom is having an affair there really is nothing you can do to stop it... But it seems like this confusion and secrecy is putting a wedge in your relationship with her.

There could be a...

It took you 20 years of deception to come to this point. I guess the question to answer for yourself is are you willing to wait many more years in distrust and misery to see if this relationship can...

First, there is no excuse for him showing up drunk! But this does give you an idea of how he handles stressful or uncomfortable situations... by drinking too much. That's NOT attractive!

I don't...

Ok this is my last post here.

I hope you can someday (very soon hopefully) realize intellect is not everything. And although you claim to be very smart YOU came here for advice and now you are...

Ok I'll put it this way... whatever you are doing/not doing isn't working for you. Right?

So my statement...
((Chose your battles: Either you conform to what the other girls are doing or how...

It's good to hear that at the very least he's going to be there for you and your child.

Depending on how much he's able to make at his current job he may have to work a second job to keep up with...

I think you were well advised to -stay out of his love life- but you just couldn't do that, huh? Lol calling his girlfriend a B**** ouch, so now this has created an even larger gap between you and...

Like I said before, Chose your battles: Either you conform to what the other girls are doing or how they're dressing to get that attention you want OR you can be yourself and wait or go after a...

Wow are you saying a 16 yr old can consent to sex with a 20 yr old in some states!
I have a 16 yr old sister and that would freak me out if she dated a 18-20 yr old guy to be honest...

This can't be true for all states, Is it??
I know of a case (from the media and such) where a guy was sentenced to 10 years in prison for consensual sex with a girl not even 3 years younger than...

From your description I would say you are paranoid and it's probably unhealthy.
Im pretty sure you would say that it effects your relationships with people and gets in the way of other priorities......

First let me say there's nothing wrong with you!

I think you have to learn to chose your battles, so to speak.
You say you don't want the cat calls and inappropriate perverted remarks (trust me...
