    As 11 flower suggested- some herbal teas can help- the one I liek the most is Dong Quai tea for women. It helps to balance your hormones, thereby making you more relaxed. Have you ever tried yoga? It's great way to get tension, help you relax, and is not obtrusive when you're cramping. Another failsafe thing is to just treat yourself. I always treat myself once a month. Buy yourself a shirt. Go get a milkshake. Sit and read. Watch your favorite movie. Call an old friend. Something just for you. That may help lighten the mood. Good luck.

    I would go with your husband out to places you both enjoy. Bars can be good- but a lot of times people won't talk to you if they see you are with someone- a lot of people consider this intrusive. So I recommend joining some sort of group- where the purpose is meeting people. For example- if you both enjoy reading- join a book club. If you enjoy acting, as someone earlier suggested, audition for some community theatre. If you go to church- get involved in some church functions. But whatever you do, go together. Bars can be good- I have nothing against them, but if you are married IMHO- it's not the best meeting place. As some people may get the wrong idea. Good luck!

    It's good that you have cut out sweets and fatty foods as well as soda. I also recommend looking at the portions you eat as well as condiments. Someone can have a salad everyday but then gain weight from the amount of dressing that they use. Also, try to east earlier in the day. Never eat past about 9 pm. Except for water. Remember- in order to lose weight you must burn more calories than you intake. You can eat the healthiest food there is, but unless you burn more calories than you intake you can still gain weight. You've made a good start. Kepp it up. Good luck!

    Hey I'm all for folks who want to have casual sex- more power to them. However IMHO, if you want to have a serious relationship with someone(as it sounds like you might in this case) I would recommend getting to know her a bit more before rushing to the bed. I think you need to set up what it means to both of you and how you will deal with things afterward. I see this as an essential precaution for both of your physical and emotional sakes. Good luck!

    I personally like them alot. But you also should be careful as some other gals have said not to wear them at night- I also wouldn't recommend wearing them on your period, during heavy physical activity or to anything formal(like a business meeting) I once wore a thong in a business meeting(under some really nice pants- I was wearing pants- I didn't think anyone would notice but apparently the top of my thong stuck out over my pants as I bent over to pick up my pen I had dropped) Very embarrassing to have male co-worker ask where they could buy their wife a sexy thong like mine. But yes, generally I like them.

    It's fine to have feelings for someone, but a relationship is not always the best option. Usually I have no problem with any age gaps(i myself have been in several relationships with huge gaps-14 yrs and up). Please be careful-I am only saying this because he is still a juvenile. You can hang out certainly, but if you are honestly considering dating- please be mindful that if you are not careful you could get in a lot of trouble.

    Hi. Please don't think badly of yourself. It's good that you recognize that you should try to help yourself. Since you are in college, may I suggest seeing a psychiatrist at the health center, most campuses have them. Since you are 18, your parents don't have to know. And unless you tell anyone, it should be purely confidential. I know it's hard now and it seems like your world is crumbling- but there will be other gals in your life. Think about things that make you happy- do some of them if you can. Form a support group. Always talk to someone before you act- you are not alone. Good luck!

    Hey man. So sorry. Hey I know what it's like. Folks say they won't hire you until you get more experience, but if no one will hire you- how do you get the experience you need to get hired? This always baffled me a bit too. My advice is to just keep plugging away take what jobs you can(if nothing else experience to add to you resume) and don't be discouraged. You will find something more to your taste. Good luck!

    This is a very common feeling. There is a man whom I once loved tremendously(and still do) but I had to let him go because there is no way it would have ever worked. As much as I (and he) might have wanted it to. It's hard to let go of people we love. Especially a first love. I know I still have warm fuzzy feelings toward my first love-but- realize that good feelings are not enough for a relationship to work. I think you do realize that, and I'm proud of you that you knew when to walk away. Also, keep in mind you will meet plenty of other men that give you those feelings that will treat you better. Don't give up- but I suggest to stay away from Steven and look for a man who will treat you like a queen. Good luck!

    You can relax- dreams are not always literal. All sex dreams are not always about sex. For example- Many women(and men for that matter) dream about having sex with their boss. Now this does not mean that they want to have sex with their boss. It might mean that that person wants to feel in control. Maybe that person wants to be associated with authority. Maybe that person feels intimidated by their boss and wants to feel some sort of dominance over them. Do you see what I'm getting at? Maybe the dream is really about an inhibition about men that she wants to get over. It could mean several things. I have had dreams about having sex with multiple men but I would never and I mean NEVER consider actually doing it.(I'm a one man kinda gal) The good news is that she told you- which means she has nothing to hide. Ask her if she has any fantasies she'd like to act out with you- perhaps she wants to be more spontaneous or exciting. Only she can answer that. Ask her and see what can be done. Good luck!

    Hey sweetie! Take a deep breath and relax. I know how hard it is to make it through the day when you're having bf issues- but honestly the best thing you can do for yourself right now is just to relax. Worrying about it won't fix it- and if you get too stressed you'll just get more upset. Look at the break as a positive thing. I highly recommend doing something that excites you- pamper yourself in some way. Hang out with the gals, flirt with attractive men, give yourself a makeover. If there's one thing I've learned- It's that sitting around feeling bad never helps things- It doesn't make the pain easier and it won't bring him rushing to your door to apologize. Look for opportunities. Keep your head high. And know that you are someone to be loved. If he doesn't- there is someone else who will. Good luck!

    Thanks everyone! All your replies helped a lot! I feel much much better now! I'm going to keep trying-I tend to think at times "I wasn't pretty enough" (b/c there's always more of us gals that audition than men)and all your advice was very much appreciated. I went from sulking to smiling. Thanks!

    Hey everyone. I'm feeling kinda down and just need some friendly encouragement. Aside from being a nutritionsist(my day job) I am also an actor. I've done it forever, but unfortunately due to financial and family issues I've had, I haven't done it in a while. I recently decided to get back to it and did my first audition in a long time. I felt really proud of myself, because I prepared really well and had a killer audition. I felt very confident about it until I got an email yesterday saying that they regretted not being able to use my talent for this particular season, but that they sincerely appreciated my audition and wished me success. And also enocuraged me to audition next year. I am not really crushed or anything(I have another audition in couple weeks) but just disappointed and need some encouragement. I start questioning my talent and place in life. Any friendly words would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    If the shirt was untucked, then speaking fashion wise, I would say cuffs unbuttoned. If the shirt was tucked in, the opposite.

    Hey. Don't be discouraged. Sometimes being older has its perks. I just lost a job int he arts (didn't get it) partially due to the fact that I was too young. Think of your maturity as an asset. It's never too late to try new things, remember as an artist that there are several people who aren't successful until later into their career. Judi Dench was almost 40 before she became really successful. I know sometimes when people get ahead of us at a younger age it can be discouraging, But the arts(all of them really) are extremely subjective- that is why it's such a tough field to break into. Two people can look at the same picture, one can think it's the bees knees while the other thinks vomit looks better. Take a breath, relax and remember never, never, never, never, never, NEVER GIVE UP! Good luck!

    Those are great suggestions, thank you everyone. If anyone else has some thoughts, please post them Thanks Yorkrose

    Well, here are couple things. I went to the bathroom the other day, and as I was getting back to work(we share an office) he said, "You look fine now get back to work" and the other day I had a phone message to give to another co-worker and he saw me chatting and said, "Stop being a gossipy woman get back to work". I have to turn the heat for the building higher when I come in in the morning, and when he came in after me, he said, "Turn that heat off! Why do women always have to have a room so hot?" Things like that. He never used to say things like that to me before the problems w/his gf started and I'm the only one he's being this way to. Am I overreacting? Or should I say something?

    Hello everyone. I am really really irritated and need some work advice. First off, I am the only woman at my place of employment and I am the HR manager. I've worked here for a little over a year. Here's the deal. I am NOT complaining about my job, I like my job, I like the people I work with, I like my boss. I don't even mind being the only woman(it's a small place, only five people) I am good friends with my boss, who is the president of the company. I know that it's usually not a good idea, but we are a tight knit group b/c there's only 5 of us, we're more like family than co-workers. The problem is that lately my boss has been having a lot of trouble w/his gf and seems to be taking out his frustrations on me b/c I am a woman. His attitude toward me has just been rude. He has not been rude to anyone else that's why I say it's b/c I'm a woman. And while it has not crossed the line into abuse, I still don't appreciate the attitude I get especially since I do my job well, work more hours than anyone, and am constantly saving his butt on projects. Should I say something politely to communicate how I have been feeling or just wait it out til his problems pass? I'm not sure what to do. Please help.

    Speed dating works like this: You will sit at a table and either you or the other sex will rotate aroudn to other tables. Then usually you have about two to three minutes to say some things about yourself. If you like each other, numbers are exchanged. If not, you just rotate when the bell rings. It's good to have a few important things in your mind to discuss. But it's usually very fun and stress free. Good luck!

    As long as you feel healthy and are happy with how you look then you are set, but I would aim for maintaining that weight. Good for you!

    Probably not what you want to hear but you could try doing something, like buying earplugs or listening to headphones at night. Unfortunately, snoring is usually not something people can control and turn on and off like a switch. So he may wish he didn't snore, but there's not a whole lot he can do, so maybe you should try a few things yourself. Good Luck

    As far as genetics go, a man's baldness is supposed to be determined by his mother's father. But I have seen cases where it's not always accurate. I would suggest you go to a hair specialist and see what you can do. Good luck!

    I am a very devout Catholic, but I do not agree with everything that the church condones. However, I do not think anyone should ever put you down for your beliefs. Part of the greatness of this country is our freedom to freely choose and practice any religion. I know how it can hurt when someone starts bashing something that is near and dear to us. May I suggest next time that you say something like, " You are free to think what you want, but you will not change my opinion on the church, so please do not bash my religion in my prescence." If he still does not respect you, you may want to look for new friends. I have friends of all faiths(as well as friends who are Atheists) but we do not sit around and bash each other for our differences. You are friends b/c you have things in common, IMHO, that's what the focus of the relationship should be.

    I have in the past dated 2 co-workers. Different places. Both times it just kind of "happened". One guy was a complete a-hole after we broke up and it sucked to work w/him after that. But the other guy was really nice and fine to work with even after we decided to just be friends. Generally, it is not a good idea, but as a previous poster said, sometimes it is difficult to resist.
  25. Yorkrose23
    I have many more guy friends than girl friends. Like you, I just communicate and get on better with men. I really don't see how it could effect you negatively in the future. Make all the friends you can, don't worry what gender they are.
