I used to have a g/f that was like that. Now I love to listen to her b**** about her friends that are like that. She never fails to say, "I'm so sorry, I can't believe you didn't just dump me somewhere." I always just tell her I would've, but she paid half the rent.

I know, but I gotta get in my requisite whine for the year.

One wish.....for my friends and family to be truly happy. That's the best I got. Sorry.

Ha! No tongue. No candles. No wishes for you! But good luck with that!

Just one?!?!? That's so unfair!

Hell no. I gather my g/f's for a wine night. Share the pictures so we can all point and giggle, then burn them. Just for fun.

Well, the whole sex thing shouldn't be an issue then. If he reads this, he should understand. But ummm.....yeah, I got nothin.

I would give it more time. Most likely you're just toning your muscles up which is what's causing you to gain weight, like everyone has said. Just thought I'd say it again too.

And way to go on actually sticking to the regimen. I'm allergic to exercise. It's taking me forever just to go sign up for a gym membership! Maybe I'll just do it vicariously through you!

have a little time on your hands wonder? or just a really big fan?

I'd say neither. It's all about personality. Though initial attraction is great, and usually a leading force here, it can grow as you get to know a person.

So long as a blanket is used when in public......

Funny how something that seemed so huge to me, seems so simple through someone else's eyes.

This is what I'm afraid of. If it turns out to be true, then I don't want it to be a blow to her ego. She's a gorgeous, generous, intelligent woman, but she has problems dating for some reason.

But you're all probably right. I just get too concerned. She's my best friend, ya know?

Maybe it's the time of day? I mean it's night time. When you think about going to bed, especially alone, I think it just naturally comes to mind. So it makes sense, though I do have to admit, this doesn't happen to me.

But what makes you think there is something wrong with you?

So I set my g/f up with this friend of mine. They talked on the phone, text messaged each other, set up a couple dates and then both cancelled for their own reasons. They've since decided not to go out.

Then, my same friend, asked me out on a date. We've been friend for a while now, and are actually pretty close. I've been trying to figure out if this would be an offense to my g/f if I were to accept.

I should admit, that in the past, we've frequently dated the same people, though it's usually her dating them after I have. This actually hasn't been a big problem for our friendship, but we've just tried to steer clear of it for the past couple years to ensure it never becomes one.

What do you think?

Yeah. A few of them were long distance, and a few were local.

It's entirely possible that it could work out, but be careful. Try not to get too wrapped up right away or it could wind up taking a long time to get over, regardless of it being an internet thing. Surprisingly this can happen pretty easily. I've seen my sister do it over and over again, just to find out that it was all to no avail. But good luck!

I think it's great that she found someone that makes her happy. I also know a couple women that decided to bat for the other team for this very same reason. It's why I quit saying, "That's it! I'm gonna start dating women now!" They both did and now they are!
