Starnique, have you had any success with relationships? If so, how did you get over your issues from childhood?

I saw a therapist for 5 years and it was pretty useful in dealing with family problems. I don't think I'd call any of what I have "shortcomings". Maybe "repercussions of childhood abuse and trauma",...

That's great that you were able to separate it and not relive the relationship with your father with anyone you dated. I think up until a couple of years ago I was still looking for love through sex...

I think parents are role models for their children whether they like it or not. A boy's impression of women is affected by his relationship with his mother. A girl's impression of men is affected by...

BackUp I'll PM you with my class questions since it's off topic.

Yeah, you might be right. I needed his notes with a list of all the algorithms and said I might be able to get my hands on an old midterm and share. He was very excited. Law of the jungle lol.
...

Well, no he didn't make any advances. Just a lot of nervousness and I noticed mirroring behavior whenever we made eye contact. Yes, the whole session was him explaining how he arrived at solutions...

Thanks, BackUp, you must have a lot of friends.

And yes, I do think he wants to sleep with me because nobody is that self-sacrificing and that nice. Everybody has an agenda.

Indireloaded, I...

Wow, I'm floored. I met up with my classmate to go over homework today. He casually mentions in conversation that he has a girlfriend. I think "oh well, I guess he really is just a sweet guy to go...

Where is the 'Like' button for these forum comments?

Yeah, I need to cut out the desperation part. It's hard though. He's 14 years younger and pretty hot.

Hm no, maybe you're right. But he seems to be going out of his way to help me. Sigh...maybe he is just really nice. I don't know any other people who are so sacrificing for someone who they barely...

basilandthyme, I am not positive that he is romantically interested but I'm getting a gut feeling based on little things. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting in class and during a break he came by...

Smackie9, why do you think he doesn't have the time for me? Past behavior indicates future behavior? He did reply back around noon today with the address. But if you mean it's because he works in...

But I'm a study buddy and potential love interest / fling. Seems like he ought to be more attentive than this.

One of my classmates recently offered to help me with homework and said he'd meet me every Tuesday before class. I know this takes effort because he works full-time at a demanding job and goes to...

Well, I sent him an email today about getting some help for previous homework questions. I emailed him tonight (Friday night) at 7:30 pm. He wrote back that he has a day off on Monday and could tutor...

Just want to see if there is any other feedback.

Hi DalMom, thanks for your thoughts on this. I noticed that he seemed pretty helpful towards other people in the online study group, so I wasn't sure if he is just a really nice guy or if he is...

Hi everyone, I had gotten some excellent advice here in the past and thought I'd check with y'all again.

One of my classmates has been acting pretty friendly over the past few weeks. We met during...

I'm curious just because I've experienced this from more than one man in the past. I guess they must see it as some kind of "challenge" to try to sleep with a woman who refuses them.

Another...

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm working on setting higher, more rigid standards when dating.

One question about male dating behavior: why in the world would a man half-heartedly pursue a woman if...

That is seeing each other a lot! Personally, I'd like to see someone 2x a week at the most.

Wow, she is 30. That is still very young. My friend had her daughter at 37 and my aunt had my cousin at 42. Tell her don't worry, she is still going to be fertile for quite a while!

After deciding not to see someone anymore recently I went through my journals (yes, I keep a diary :D) and read entries from the last 10 years. After reading countless pages about the pain of failed...
