hmm....maybe. i'll consider an ipod. he uses his pda as a mp3 player right now. it doesn't hold that many songs. the ipod mini is only 225 with my student discount from U of T.

Thanks for all your suggestions and advice I don't think I plan to spend over an excess of 300 b/c i'm still a college student. So that truly rules out the expensive watch. He is a pretty big star wars fan and AlleyCat, he's a bit romantic , he likes to cook me dinner on valentines or my bday and such. I'm trying to think about sentimental gifts that show meaning and depth of our relationship. We're going up to the top of CN Tower(the worlds tallest free standing building) to exchange gifts and probably going to out to eat. He's a really sweet guy. He's made me personalized macromedia flash videos with our photo's. Buys me flowers and takes me out to dinner when he comes back. (we're in a LDR) and we chat all the time on the phone. I was thinking about getting these basic silver bands with our names engraved inside while also getting him and me matching webcams b/c his is getting old and fuzzy. And if i'm feeling as if it's a bit cheap. i'll throw in one of those george foreman grills. ( i think he would really like one at college)

Hi. At the end of june, my bf and I will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary of dating. And I have no idea what to get him. I know he's probably going to be getting me that tiffany bracelet i want , that would be engraved with something. But in terms of getting something for him, I'm a bit clueless. He has everything a guy really needs. Good computers, watch, wallet, clothes, furniture, tech gadgets such as digital camera, PDA. Last christmas, I got him a silver bookmark from tiffany because I don't know what to get a guy with everything.

Well. You could just be friends first and build a solid foundation based on friendship. But then you'll have to put up with the jealousy and envy that comes with it while she or he(you didn't explicity say if it was a he or a she) sees other people. You could end up dating her. But it really depends on your scenario. My bf and I go to different universities. We're about a 4 hour drive apart. But the thing is, we dated for half a year before distance became an issue. He's in 2nd and I'm in 1st. Sometimes the distance is really tough on both of us, but because we love each other so much, we put up with it. We make it work by phone calls all the time. We'll text message each other on our cellphones. We email a lot. Moreover, we chat on msn and webcam endlessly. It's your choice, if you have willpower and commitment, it could work. Or, it could fall under the annual "Turkey Toss" which occurs when everyone goes back home for the first time @ Thanksgiving and dumps their long-distance b/f or g/f.

yeah. my bf knows. he knows that we're friends and we do friend related things. but there's this massive undertones. And my ex and i broke up three years ago. We're just "platonic" friends, or at least that's what we say to each other

Okay. I have a slight dilemma. I'm in a long distance relationship with my loving bf. we'll be celebrating our 3yr anniversary next month, but sometimes, I feel as if i'm emotionally cheating on him. During the summer, he often leaves me for long periods of time to visit his family in the states. And me, being in Canada, can get very lonely. This was the situation last summer. Last summer, when my boyfriend was absent for a total of two months, I got really close to one of my ex's. not on a romantic level, but we just hung out, chilled, and did stuff with each other. I can never cheat on my bf, but because we were so initimate on a friendship level and that we cared about each other, I felt really guilty about it. Morever, last summer, i sensed a lot of sexual tension too. Fast forward to this summer. My bf is working in another city all summer so I started hanging out with my other friend again. And I don't want it to repeat. I don't want to feel as if i'm cheating again. Because last summer, it tore me apart because I felt as if I developed feelings another person. Today, while he was dropping me off at my front door, it just felt weird. Very awkward. We saw a movie today, and I dragged along one of my single girlfriends. But she even said that we're almost a couple but not really. I don't know if i should minimize contact with him? I don't think i can talk to him about it because I think/know he's sorta aware of our undertones. He knows I love my boyfriend very much and is very commited to him.

Moreover, tell you teacher you don't get it. and rather than showing/doing it for you, she should try to lead you in the proper direction. Like point out the given's, and the problem. And then you figure out the steps on doing it. If she doesn't stress formulas enough,, then just hi-light it, box it, or put starts around it in your own notes. In high school, I found that my statistics teacher was rather umm...not that good...to put it politely, and I just asked my Algebra and Geometry teacher to help me out with it. So maybe u can try asking another teacher for help, or get a tutor. Your education is worth getting a tutor. It's all about dedication.

Hmm.... I struggled a lot with math in high school but ended up with As. In University math, I suck at it honestly, I still got a B-. It's all about checking your work over again. You said you make a lot of careless mistakes, check your work over again. Moreover, you have to study differently for different subjects. for math, you need to do over your questions over and over again. that's how the method of doing the algebra works. Moreover, if you have trouble when you try your homework, then get help for your teacher during class time or in the morning or after school. And once you get into the higher levels of math, you need to constantly keep up-meaning always doing your homework.If you don't do that, they you get screwed because everything is cumulative. They give you the answers in teh back of the book to check if you are doing it right. So check while your doing your work. Stick a bookmark back there or something while flipping back and forth from your page and the answer page. And about your friends who don't study-they might not be truthful. I knew many people who "lie" about how much they study. Plus, they might be natural with it. My boyfriend picks up math like that *snaps fingers*...and i struggle. But I keep at it. I get low As and he gets perfect. He has a 4.0(96% actual average) in second year university and I have a 3.3. So we both work hard, it just comes easier to him. Plus, regarding your presentation-you need to follow instructions. If that's what's demanded from you, then you do it. If you do not meet the expectations, the why would you meet the grade? Best of luck my friend. You're only in grade 9-so take the courses over again. It's just one summer. Oh. and here's a math joke-my advanced calc teacher told me this: At Heathrow airport today an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a graphing calculator. Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious Al-gebra Movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Hi. I have an interview at Old Navy and I have no idea how to dress for it..The dress code at the store is pretty casual and the manager herself wears something more casual than business casual while the staff is extremely casual with jeans and plain t-shirts. So would it be expected for me to dress that way too? I was intending to wear a dress shirt and dress pants with black shoes? but i'm afraid i'll be over dressed? do you think so too? any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks -AC

I honestly believe that LDR's do work. But it takes a lot of work and probably a steady foundation in the relationship before distance becomes an issue. Currently, my boyfriend lives away as we goes to a different university. We went out for a year before he left for university.He's going into his third year and I'll be entering my 2nd. We love each other so much and I've been pretty much used to the distance all this time while we're studying. It's hard, but we make the best of it through phone calls, emails, instant messaging, and webcams. Plus, we get to see each other during holidays when he visits me. But there are hard times-like during midterms or final exams. We hardly get to chat to one another as we both focus on our studies. But, he's applying to a Medical school in my city and *knocks on wood* he gets in so we can finally see each other regularly. That's my two cents. -AC

well. it depends if you area going for the casual look or not. my bf will roll up his sleeves if he's pairing a shirt with jeans or khakis-that of course is only if it is warm. when it's more formal event. of course the cuffs should be buttoned up. hmm...if you leave it unbottoned and sleeves down, wouldn't the loose cuffs get in the way?

Well. It depends on how much you want to do. Making out can include many things like: -plain closed mouth kissing -open mouth kissing which includes using tongues(frenching) -you can normally place your hand gently on his face, neck, arm, back. you can even hold hands. But it depends on how far want to go. Making out can apply for many things. But mainly, it's kissing.

Thanks DN and Lady00 for your helpful responses. I normally forget about him, it's just we live within a close vincinity of each other and we both take public tranist in toronto so there's a strong likelihood of seeing each other. I just don't know how to handle those run-in's with him. We just take a glance at each other and just walk away. I feel as if my manner's and etiquette has slipped away. Should I eventually say hi to him? or just let it be and act as if he is a mere stranger on the street? Thanks again for your replies and concern =)

Background We were friends at first, but we sorta got closer and were almost about to hook-up. I really felt a connection with him but after our first date,but I felt as if I didn't need a relationship because my marks were really bad and were threatening my university admissions; plus, I just had horrible break-up and was extremely depressed for three months. It caused my marks in my final year of high school to drop from honor status to mediocre. So I decided not to get into a relationship. But I had very strong feelings for him. But afterwards, he was very cruel and mean to me. I think he felt as if I led him on. But it hurt myself to not get involved too. What made it worse was that we were heading up a high school extra-curricular club together. We were both in administrative and senior positions. That meant we had to spend a lot of time together. He did everything in his power to get rid of me and he succeeded. We never talked to each other. We positively despised each other for our work conflicts. He moved on. His new girlfriend replaced my position on the club council and she wasn't even qualified. Current Dillemma And now, in university, despite going to different campuses, we occasionally run into each other. And everytime I do, I remember how great he was, but also all those mean and horrible things he's done to me. I have a boyfriend who I really love and care about. But this one guy in high school, I can't seem to let go. It's so hard. He helped me through a tough time. Back then, I didn't mean to fully break-up with him. I wanted to get back together when my marks rebounded again. And then he did many horrible and mean things to me so he can get no contact with me. Why do I still think about him? When we see each other again, we don't say anything to each other. I try to even avoid looking at him. Our city has 3 million people but somehow, we still occasionally see each other. I need help healing. I am constantly flooded with pain from those horrible and fond memories. First year is over and so was high school. But why can't I forget? -AC
