forty_9_cent,

we say go for meeting him. although it's taken us a long time to get back to ya, so you may have already done it. maybe you can go scope him out before you meet him or something. or you can talk to him more on the net and see if you feel like meeting him. but always be careful when meeting someone from the internet.

Alllatsea, I actually think that a doctor’s appt is a good excuse! I mean, it’s vague, it could mean dentist, gynecologist, surgeon, family doctor, etc. or you could tell her that you have a date. Or that a relative that you never see will be driving through town and you need to have lunch with them. Or you could tell her that you need to go to the town hall as you are receiving a reward for your stellar civic duties. Or that you need to go to the hospital because the candy stripers are having a get together and you are the keynote speaker. That is all we could think of, good luck!

Frozenpenguin32,  Our take on change?? Well we guess it depends on what kind of change it is. If it’s regarding diapers, change is definitely a good thing. If you mean the money change, we think you should definitely keep it and put it in a piggy bank to save for something that you really want. If you mean like, life change…it depends on if it’s a change that you want. Regardless of what you want, things will change around you and the only thing that you can do is go through it w/ the best attitude that you can. It’s your choice whether or not you will have a smooth transition or not.

Jackie, We think it’s safe to say that if this guy hasn’t called you for two weeks, then you’re probably not dating him. You definitely need communication for a relationship to work. I think that you seem really confused w/ all of the guys in your life. Sometimes a girl just needs to take a break from guys and take some time to find out what what she really wants and who she really is. That’s hard to do when you’re constantly in a relationship and always worrying about the other person, etc. We say that maybe you should ditch guys for a bit and find out who Jackie really wants.

Hey all sorry for the lack of posts lately - I guess life just kind of got ahold of us and kept us from the world of xanga.  But keep your questions coming - we're here.

Yobhsif ~ yeah I think you should go for symmetry - my cousin did the back tatoos and has one on each shoulder and it looks pretty good.  You are a brave man dealing with all those needles.

Baby_blue_angle07 ~ That's a tough question.  Long distance relationships can work, but only if both people are committed.  How far away does he live?  Then I would ask how well do you know him?  If it's a brand new guy, it's going to be even harder, but if it's someone you already know then you'll probably have an easier time.  I don't think I could personally do a long distance relationship, but I've seen it done and have seen it end in marriage, so anything's possible.  You have to decide how important this guy is to you and go from there.

Forty_9_cent ~ that's really hard.  I've done the "date your best friend" thing and it can be great, but it makes it even harder if things don't work out.  In my situation I'm still friends with the guy but it's just not the same.  Plus you've got the problem of having to decide between two of your friends who both might have feelings for you.  If they both do have feelings for you one if going to be hurt and that can ruin a friendship as well.  But you don't want to pass up on something that could be great either.  I guess you have to decide what's more important, friendship with these guys or a possible dating relationship.

To have a party or to not have a party?  Quite the dilemma :)  Well, 20 is a big milestone, but don't forget, 21 is even bigger.  But I would say if you want to celebrate w/ your friends and have a party to go for it, but if you're not up to hosting one, just get close friends together and find something fun to do.  Since I've gotten older, I can't say that I've ever really thrown myself a big birthday party, usually I try to get my friends together and we go out to eat, or something crazy like that.  But if you do have a party, there's a bigger chance for presents :) and that's always a plus.  Here's what i think...I think you should have a tropical themed party - there's a lot of potential with that idea :)  Good luck and let us know what you decide!
