Open Question: How do I tell if my boyfriend is still attracted to me?

I know this sounds ridiculous, so I'll have to provide some back story... My boyfriend and I are in our early 20's, and we became friends our freshman year of high school. I dated someone else throughout high school, so he and I did not have a romantic relationship for quite a while, though we remained strong friends. Come sophomore year, he and I were best friends and absolutely inseparable. I needed a place to stay senior year, and my boyfriend at the time (though we had been dating for five years) was not ready to move out of his parents' house. To make a long story short, I dumped the other loser and my best friend and I entered into a sexual relationship. The reason that I give all that back story is this: throughout our entire friendship and for the first several months of us just being "screw buddies," I have always had the impression that he, (like me), had a high sex drive. After the first few months of us screwing around, however, he just seemed to lose interest. Don't get me wrong, I understand that normal people who have been together for a while generally don't f*** like jack rabbits every night, but a week to a week and a half will go by without us doing anything and he won't even blink an eye. What's more is that it used to be worse. Before, we would go a month or more at a time, and when I'd try to approach him, he would tell me he didn't feel like it pretty often. Now I very rarely approach him because I'm afraid of getting turned down, and I feel like he sleeps with me only because he feels that he is obligated to. It is only when he notices that I'm starting to get frustrated with him that he actually approaches me, and I hate it. I have no idea what's going on. For the record, I know he's not cheating on me, and I have not noticed anything that would indicate a health problem that would reduce his sex drive. He masturbates about as much as the average guy (or what has been the average guy in my experience, both in terms of who I have dated and listening to my guy friends), and is pretty healthy. So... any idea? Thanks for your help.

Open Question: Why do some black women get disturbed and angered at a black man who exclusively dates white women?

Key word is "some" I know a good majority don't care and I'm not trying to generalize. But there are still a few who believe every black man should be with a black woman or accept interracial dating between other races so long as it's not a black man involved. So my question is why is it so wrong? Most black men seemed to be attracted black women and it's not like all black men are leaving black women. It's probably 3% that exclusively date white women. What is the problem the black community has with this? I personally would be happy for a black woman if she found true love in any race and is happy with her spouse. Why can't black women return that favor? Jasmine: Good on you, if only most black women could be as open minded and learn how good interracial dating is.

Open Question: Can anyone help me on knowing why I can't date anyone?

Hi everyone from yahoo, I am a 26 year old that has never dated once in my life. I know that possibly one of my problems is that I have a problem with asking someone due to rejection. I know that I must ask someone for a date or otherwise the question is no anyways. I don't exactly trust dating sites due to not knowing who is really behind the screen replying. So recently I have tried to ask the people who I really know and have an attraction to. I just wonder what I should do since boyfriends of there's always beat me to the punch? I want to date someone but, I just don't know how to, and really feel that I may possibly become the movie,"The 40 year old virgin". I know that I am probably coming across as desperate and, I am sorry for this action. If anyone has any answers I would love to hear them. Thanks, Josh

Open Question: What would you do if you worked with someone shady?

How in a working environment do you stop hanging out with someone who you realized is envious, fake, and malicious without making it obvious? I befriended a young lady last year at my job and I've started to realize so many things about her that are JUST wrong, and she's even made unnecessary comments or ("thrown me under the bus") to the guy I'm dating who also works in the same building as us. She's just a bad person and I don't care to have her in my life anymore. I just haven't known how to get away from her. I believe that a good friend will look out for you and not throw you under the bus. The problem is as follow we both are friends with another young lady at work, and that other young lady because of the things that she's done and said I KNOW is a good friend and someone I do want in my life. But in fear that if I stop talking to the other girl (the shady one), I'm afraid there might be some tension between the 3 of us. The 3 of us have been friends for a about year now so it's kind of hard to break the routines we've been doing such as going to lunch, talking on the phone, and even hanging out in the weekends. My friendship with the nice girl is what I care for, but I feel like I would put her in an odd position if I was not friends with the other girl or if I tell her how I truly feel about the girl, doing something like that would only put her in a bad spot so I feel like I can't say or do anything other than to be quiet and continue to be a hipocrite and in a way keep things civil. What would you do?

There are two parts to my problem. You decide what i should do.. Part one: I have been with my boy friend for almost two years. He graduated last year, i am a senior this year. Ever since the 6th month we started dating, he has cheated on me, lied to me, always amde me feel like the guilty one, ect. I always kept him around, due to the fact that i "love" him. Well, it's not 1 year and 9 months. And we go round and round with fighting and such, basicually, it gets old. He tells me "i will change". for a few weeks it goes good, then it's back to how it was a month ago. Part two: Ever since i was in the 3rd grade my parents would travel from the south to Michigan. My dads fmaily lives there. being said, my dads friend has a son who i have always had the hots for. we go up there to visit every christmas and 4th of july. this past christmas, i realy crushed hard on him. he has never fought with me, lied, or hurt me. and iv known him FOREVER. We have so much fun everytime we are together. The question is: Do i leave a guy who i have been with for so long, for a guy i have known forever?

Open Question: How to deal with a needy mom and dettach?

Okay so, I've heard this happens to a lot of "last children." I am the youngest in my family (8 kids including myself) and they're all moved out somewhat..my brother is staying here for the time being till he gets back on his feet but other than that, 3 of my brothers (including the one here) stay near..never like more than 100miles away. And one of my sisters is only like 20 - 30 miles away. Now the issue is, my mom seems too needy with me. Being the youngest and all, and I have to honestly say I guess I've become sort of a momma's boy over the years? I'm not like attached to her or anything, it's just I'm so used to being around her and being nice that it's almost impossible for me to act out..I've never like rebelled at all. Now I am nearly 18, and I intend on most likely living near/at the college I go to..but I'm pretty sure my mom thinks I'm going to stay here and go to college? That would be cool and all, if she was't so over-protective and nosy..Really I can't do ANYTHING without her constantly harassing me on whats going on. Now, my next point..theres a few issues with dating and having friends..pretty much..as far as the ones I have now are concerned, I have no mother. Really, anyone (which is A LOT of people) she doesn't approve of and doesn't want me around..and another thing is I am gay, I haven't told her yet, as I am not ready, so that is like a big no for her, sure, she'll understand and all and not really care at all..but she will NOT tolerate me dating other guys. It's basically caused me to miss out on most of my teen years, and not be very social... So I'm kind of stuck..I want to be able to get out on my own for these reasons (And talking to her isn't that much of an option since I've never really been open to her because of her "issues" as it were) and I don't know how to just rebel and go out and do it? If I did I'd feel terrible so It's just a big mess, and I don't know what to do...If she was more open-minded about things then none of this would be a problem, I'd be glad to stay here till I'm out of college, so long as I can actually go out and do things I want to do. So I need some advice on what to do, someway so I can actually rebel once in a while to get what I want, because if I obey her, I'll be living the life of a 5 year old..
