Ok, I think I've come to terms with the fact that I will only be friends with the first girl I liked. Even so, a new girl has come into the picture. She came in on the decision that she wanted to date may roommate and met him through a friend. Well by association I came to know her. First as a friend, but now it has changed. I thought I had no chance I saw the two of them together and told myself I didn't have a chance. Well we've all known each other for about 2-2 1/2 weeks now and for a lil time of that she has started to change her mind of dating him. Tonight I was talking to her and we somehow got on that subject and I asked why she changed her mind and she said "Well, I've started to really get to know him and he is....weird. I want someone more laidback then that." Well I said, "Well I've got a suggestion, but meh." She said, "What is it?" I told her "Well, me." She said, "Nah, you are too laid back." I heard this and in my mind I was like WTH! that isn't possible. From there we just kept talking like usual. Other than what she said about changing her mind she has showed me more attention than anyone else in our group (besides my roommate of course). I took that as a sign of some kind of affection, apparently I am mistaken. This is sorta a half rant half question, but I was wondering if what she said killed any chance I have of getting together with her? God, the first girl was because I was too tall to dance with, now its because I am too laid back. Whats next? GAH!

As for stocks, Peter Lynch wrote a few investing books that I read and they were great. I came upon these by my cousin who does his own investing via online. The books are: link removed , link removed, link removed My cousin also told me about Jim Cramer's website link removed it has alot of investing info. Along with that he also had Jim Cramer's book, I would tell you the title but I don't remember it.

Aurian - I never thought of the fear about it. I guess I need to stop assuming people are fearless Quite interesting about the doubts of my roommate. My roommate is definantly weird, but I didn't see that getting in the way because of the way they act around each other. He know she has a boyfriend and I have heard him ask her plenty of times to break up with him. As to what he thinks about it, he just wants her to break up with him other than that I have no clue. Oh and there is something else that makes this oodles of fun. Before this girl there was another girl. Now she is the very flirtacious type and is more of a cocktease (I don't know if that is bad, and its the only way I know how to put it). Well he swears up and down that he has broken up with her and she has become very jealous about him doing so. What makes it interesting is that even though he said he has broken up with her he is still acting like a bf toward her (Sitting on each others lap, holding hands, etc.). He swears up and down that she is starting it all because she is jealous of the situation, I told him you have to tell her no. He said he did and that she isn't listening and then I said then stop getting so close to her (as in physically). He wouldn't listen to me on the basis that it is how he is around his female friends (which is complete bs because I've never seen him to this with any other of his female friends). Then last night when I thought he was hanging out with the new gf(prospect) he comes in with the old, flirtacious one. I couldn't believe it because he just spent half of a day with a girl that isn't supposed to be his girlfriend. Some may say he was being friendly, hes never done that with any of the others he has. Even a pysch major friend of mine that we both know agreed with me about him needed to stop getting so close. He came and talked to my roommate to reinforce what I said. Whatever respect I did have for him is now lost. The new girl is a nice girl and there is no need to treat such good people with such a mind game as this. Now that I evaluate what I just typed I can see why she hasn't broken up with her bf, because she thinks he hasn't broke up with his. Which is now completely understandable.

My roomate met this girl 9 days ago and all of a sudden they are pretty much together. The reason I say pretty much is because she has a boyfriend back home that she hasn't broke up with yet. She says she will, just hasn't yet. Why? Because she said she was tired of his immaturity and is ready to get together for the long haul. The only reason I care is because 1) He is a friend of mine and I try to look out for my friends 2) I am very hardcore into psychology and love to try and tell how things are going to turn out. I think she is using him as a replacement for her bf back home, but she is tired of his immaturity so I threw that out. Other than that I have come up with the fact that even if she does break up with him, he is a rebound and those can be dissappointing. And him, going in while she has a bf, I don't even know what to think about that (He didn't know she was breaking up with her bf). Maybe yall can throw out some things I havent found yet. I have all my friends relationships figured out except this one because its so weird.

lol GH, that does sound pretty confusing, but it does sound like you have a chance with it. As for why, its just because I would like to know what is going on. Its more my personality than anything speaking. I like to know whats going on when and where. Also, if she is dropping me hints then it is apparent that SHE does like me and everyone here is about doing what the other person wants. Boyfriend or not, it is the girls decision. Her bf is only 6'0 and like 150lbs (my guess), I am 6'8 and 255lbs. meanwhile she is 5'4 and like 110lbs. So its kinda hard to say Im a dainty person. I actually didn't see her comment as rude because you can't call me anything else besides big or huge or anything.

I had dinner with a friend of mine that I just so happen to like. We sat for three hours just talking. Now while in this conversation she started talking about dancing. She was telling me how she has to reach up to her bf (who is 6'0) even with high heels on. The outta the blue she said "Thats why I think we wouldn't work well together, because you are so big I don't think my arms could make it around you." I was taken aback. I didn't know whether she was testing me or what, but yea. I told her, "Oh I sure we could make it work." and from there we sorta wondered off into another topic. I was wondering if she really was testing me, or if somehow she figured out that I liked her and that was her way of telling me no. Just so you know, I've never let her know of my feelings for her.

Tell me if this is slick at all. Say you don't know how to dance, yet the girl you are trying to get with does. Why don't you just get her to teach you? I thought of that and I thought it was a pretty smooth move.

Well in my experiences in weightlifting I have had that problem before. It took a week or two for it to go away, but it did. Also it sounds like you just started off a lil steep. Take it a lil slow until you get out of the first few weeks. Also, stretch before and after your workouts. As for your pregnancy situation, I can't help ya there.

Well to me it would seem obvious that you need to move into your boyfriend's parents house. Thats just what I think. I've never been in a situation like this so I don't know how that would turn out, but from my perspective that would be the best thing to do.

I didn't know you could tell stuff from footwear. I am wondering what yall would think bout me because of my shoes. I wear size 16 New Balance shoes that are white/gray/navy. They are dirty I guess because I use them as work shoes. They are a lil ragged as well. I actually use these shoes for anything besides dress. Don't get me wrong, I have the dress shoes, but other than that I only own this one pair of shoes. Also, I would love a pair of work boots or just boots, but I haven't found any my size.

I also have people stare at me becaues of enlarged features. I am 6'8 and people are just amazed at the height I guess. Along with my height I also get alot of people asking about my shoes because they are size 16 US. Every time I stand up in a resturant or somewhere I look around and see everyone looking at me. Its not dead quiet, but the people are looking at me. I've just learned to not give a damn and I continue about my business. I am actually proud of my height even though I think I am too short and would like to be taller.

Lol, dude I know what you are talking about. In my high school I was the only virgin in the whole damn place. Of course that didn't hinder me at all. I knew just about everyone there and befriended alot of people. I have just finished my first semester at my university and I haven't come close to "getting some" as some would call it. I figure I'll just catch the crap as it falls. I honestly don't know how I am able to do it. I see all these guys talking about how they can't live without sex and I am here at 18 and never had done it. I guess I just have that much self-control. I guess the whole point of this post is to show that you shouldn't worry about it. Sure its in the back of my mind and I think about it every once in awhile, but I don't dwell on it. Plus is sounds like you don't want a relationship anyway, so why mess yourself up thinking about what you don't want?

I am a reatrd at non-verbal communication, so here is my question. What is the difference between shyness and insecurity?

How are you going? Where are you going? I hate to make assumptions, but I am going to assume that is meant to be 'How are you doing?". If so, that is a very universal statement. I could say that to people I like and don't like. Of course there would be no reason to not continue with the conversation. How would you think his friend was talking about you? I don't see such signs. He may like you, its too early to tell.

I would be great dating material. I am very laid back although I do have my serious times (I think everyone does). I would even go as far as to say I would be a great husband. The only problem I see would be approaching me and getting used to my physical aspects. Im 6'8 255lbs and I look like an ogre! I know that its the inside that counts, but there does have to be some kinda physical attraction and I don't see how ANY, and I do mean ANY, girl in this world could have any kinda physical attraction toward me. Plus finding me is a task all in itself seeing as I don't go to clubs or those kinda places. Its all cool though, I have tranq. darts and the gun to go with it in the closet incase I ever feel the urge! =P
