As bad it seems to go behind a parents back, it can be even worse to be strict with children; destroying a healthy enviornment can have serious consquences in later in life. Normally I'd advise to talk with your dad and hope he changes his heart, but I'm not sure if that plan is fool proof. Nothing is. I suggest go on with what your doing, unless you see any hope your dad will change. Good luck.

You're definetly making progress. Keep it up!

Well, my grandfather passed away on Saturday. It's sad, because I loved him, but this is the first time someone close to me has died. I know that more of family will eventually die. It's inevitable. I'm deterimened though to move on. I know if I remember him, then he'll always be immortal. It will take some time though. I feel empty, but nontheless inspired. I have a future, and now all I have is the past of him. Life sure is interesting...

Not all friendships are neccesarily that close, so it's pointless to be jealous. I suggest just enjoy the friendship you have and talk with other friends, too. Good luck.

I suggest stay friends, but go out with some people. It's know used getting angry about it, when you both agreed to this. So get out and have fun. Good luck.

For me it's to see what I can begin. To see what I can truly achieve in the end.

It sounds to me if he wants you to play with him, than it's definetly more than friends. He is definetly showing affection. I say, if you think there is another chance, then go for it!

I totally agree Miss M. I decided to get more involved in my College. There's a hall government (for residence halls) and I decided to join. Maybe after College I'll go on a few dates, but until then, I want to continue to grow as a person.

Right on DN. Langauges can be very flexible, it all just depends on how you use it.

I'm glad for you! I hope everything continues to go well! 8)

Actually, I will. Thanks Miss M, I just may have a new sig, that suits the new me!

Not much, I'm afraid. Parents are big to judge whom their kids see as friends or date. I would tell them the positive things, but unless your friend shows them around your parents, their opinion is pretty rock solid at this point. Good luck.

After what I've been through (a lot of mental pain), not really. I'm through with worrying about it. I figure I would rather pursue a successful career in life, than worrying about finding love. I have loved every minute of it. I wouldn't change the path I'm on now. I love the freedom of being single and I'm learning to enjoy reality and not escape from it. So, I'm happy thanks. Maybe other people find love, but I seek something else. I've found my happiness and I wouldn't change it for the world. Thanks anyway.

Aah, but not everything is fixable in reality. I've accepted the way things are and I plan to carry on in life. I am quiet, shy, and nice. If I have to change, then screw it. I shouldn't have to change who I am to find it.

That's great Jetta! I hope everything works out!

Just have patience, I'm sure his e-mail will come. Good luck.

Meh, I figure if I don't find love, than I'll at least make friends, enjoy life, and succeed at my career.

When you back to College, talk to people. Get to know other people in your university. That way you'll feel like yourself again. Just hang in there until then. Good luck.

It definetly sounds like you've improved yourself. I congratulate you! And your not alone finding love. I too have never had a girlfriend, but I don't let that get me down. I have a future to grasp a hold of and friends and family. You'll get friends. All you have to is believe. Good luck.

I wouldn't suggest just start with asking for help. It could throw the person off their guard. Just take it slow and see where it goes. If you feel you have a chance to ask her for help and she's a nice person. Then do it.

If you still feel like you have a chance and he still has any feelings for you, then tell him. It's the best thing you can do at this point. Good luck.

I tend to observe first. If I see they're not interested, I don't bother. But if I feel like they are, then I ask. I don't mind rejection. It's happened to me before and I've learned to move on. But it is better to know, than wonder about it. It can drive you nuts not knowing...

I have. Yet through an online College Directory (link removed), I'm trying to keep in contact. I also made sure to get as many emails of people I wanted to keep in contact with. But there are those people that got away. I miss them, but I know I have my memories and there is always a chance I meet them later in life.

Yah, I agree with annie. Just go say hi. Nothing bad will happen. I'm sure of it. Good luck.

Huh. I have no interests in sports either, but nonetheless I find I make friends easier with guys than girls. Interesting...
