wow..... this guy sounds like a real jerk. i feel like he is trying to reserve you as like a backup woman. you're better than that. go find yourself a guy who is interested in you now. dont wait around for his sorry ass. find someone new. not to get back at him. but to make yourself feel better. -travis

hey everyone. there is this girl a year older than me. if you've read any of my prior inquiries, you know im a bit confused by women. i really like this girl. but from all my experience, girls seem only interested in looks and money. and im not bill gates, nor am i the hottest thing around. there is a girl who laughs at everything i say. im not sure if she thinks i am ridiulous, or genunely intrigued by me. i think we have a little in common. but i dont know if i can compete with all the guys who like this girl, and im really afraid i might be the pawn of some game once i get involved. (i will admit i am somewhat paranoid). please give me some advice. should i ask her to go to the dance with me? i wasnt planning on going but it would be incredible to go with her. -travis

hey thnx for the advice, but the whole debate about carrying her books was kinda pointless b/c she is in junior high and i dont have time because im running to get to my next class. hell, i dont even see her between classes. addressing the sex issue: im not planning on having sex until i can enjoy it with my wife.....and only my wife. and im not afraid to be myself around girls, honestly, im more myself around girls than other guys. (im not afraid of being me around her, im afraid of being around her). i keep feeling like im gonna make a fool of myself. thats what has happened every other girl that i've liked. its like im out to make an idiot of myself. and the whole "bad boy" act is a cry for attention. and its one rarely answered. guys who act full of themselves are the reason girls get a bad idea of the steriotypical guy. it kinda sucks when they arent willing to open up after being treated like trash by other guys. anyway, thnx everybody for the advice.

hey guys, im really uncertain about what to do. there is this really cute girl who is in 8th grade this year, im a freshman. i dont know like what to say to her. should i try to sit next to her sometime at a game? i almost never see her but when i do, all systems are go (if you know what i mean). she is really nice and i would really like to get to know her better. im afraid to try to get her attention, because whenever itry that, i always look like a fool. someone help me out here. -travis

hey everybody, i just wanted to ask for prayer. i was in a car wreck last night and my head hit the windshield. we think ill b ok, doc said if i got worse to call. please pray -travis

annie very wise...........(awe stricken).............wow. i've never heard anything so blatant, and yet meaningful in my whole life. i suppose theres little advice to give after what she just said...........

wow!!!!!!! nemo, that was deep. i mean truly philosophical. you made some really good points like........well........all of em. -travis

can anybody say mixed signals? and as a sidenote mom feels the exact same way that i do. we sometimes talk about it when she takes me home from school. -travis

i am not certain that suicide means you go to hell, i am however sure that you will go to hell without trusting in christ. he is the key to (as you inquire) the afterlife. the bible says that after defeating death, jesus was given the keys to death and hades (hell). please further consider these words. the guidelines have been set up. what youre going through right now is nothing compared to the pain of hell. -travis

stick with it. usually, its not the best idea to have sex with someone you arent too informed of. learn more about them, dont just lust after them physically, thats whats leaving you feeling empty. good luck and stick with it. -travis

well, i'ld say give it a week then ask if he would want to go to a movie or something. but during that week, get to know him better, and open up to him. maybe he does want you to be a part of his life, but approach this like you would any other relationship. spend some time with him. -good luck -travis

i believe very strictly what the bible says, and i dont try to bend what it says. i also believe that gods greatest gift is his son. his son was a representation of his love and care for us. if someone forgives someone else for doing something wrong by them, that does not mend the relationship. forgiveness can be achieved, but a mending of a relationship requires an apology, then the love can be further expressed. but, we as sinners (the human race) must have a relationship with god before it can be mended, and the only way to start a relationship with him is through salvation in Jesus Christ. and i also feel that there is no measure of how sinful an act is. i think that murder is no more serious than stealing, not to bring down the seriousness of murder, but to raise the seriousness of stealing. a sin is a sin. there is no white lie. a lie is a lie. granted, there are some things that can be argued, but i am firm in my foundation. hope to hear from you soon. -travis

if it is the afterlife that your questions seek, i will inform you of my thoughts. i believe that god created us, not multiple gods, and not any idea. i believe in the god of the hebrew bible. the god who sacrificed his son, that we, the wretches of the earth, would choose to believe in him. and so we might be saved from eternal torment in the fiery pits of hell (ignore my signature plz), but instead (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART) we would believe on Jesus Christ, the author and foundation of my faith to live in paradise (heaven). plz, dont kill yourself, at least further consider my words. if you die, and suppose that i might be right (hypothetical), you would be sending yourself straight to hell!!!! (yikes!!!!!!). plz take my following offer: email me at "trl4371@link removed" i would be glad to give you some references to look up if you could find a bible. just think. what do you have to loose. live one day longer in order that you may find a way out? im not garanteeing you a solution, i am however offering you the key to a way of dealing with your worldly issues, and spiritual. -travis

well, you werent too descriptive of what happened but, i think that if your boyfriend got mad at his friend for slandering you, that is a sign right off that he respects you. he is defending his girl. talk with him. although guys arent too big on the emotions (generally), we arent shunning of girls who want to talk. just go on with your relationship. its not about the chemestry between you and his friends; its about you and him. -travis

im worried and so angry all at once. my family is i guess like the bundy family from married with children, (and not in a commical sense). my brother is having to skip this simmester of college because we dont have the money to send him. my dad always tries to beat him up about it (verbally). im not too excited about the college my brother is going to but i never try to oppress him or put him down. it just really angers me that my dad cant offer that helping hand and ask how my bro. is doing. im sick of the yelling. every time that a topic ever comes up in a family conversation (this hardly ever happens), my dad quickly turns the subject to how this other college is so great and how a&m isnt a good school because way back when, blah blah happened. i hate it. theres got to be a light at the end of the tunnel....... doesnt there. i hate coming home to my dad sitting on the couch watching tv, and my brother feeling confined to his room. every time i try to talk to my brother about it, he suddenly goes deffensive because he is so used to being beaten up verbally by everyone who doesnt like a&m. while i know that he should put up with it, he takes offense to everything. does anyone have any advice for me? i hate the silent rides in the car, the still dinners. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
