Open Question: What are some things I could do to help out my situation? and more...

Open Question: What are some things I could do to help out my situation?

Ok here is my exact situation: She is my best friends sister but he doesn't mind. Just so you know we have never gone out. So back in may of 09 I went on vacation with them and this guy leaned out of his car window and honked his horn at her and i got really mad and then a week later i realized i loved her since that i never reacted like that about anything not even people disrespecting girls i had gone out with. So in October I vacationed with them again and I knew i should have tried to do something to get her to like me but their parents were there the whole time so it would been awkward to flirt and stuff so everyone just had regular conversations. So now Christmas is coming up and i was planning on maybe getting her a gift but I recently discovered that she is dating someone. I can't really give her a gift while she is dating another guy unless i want to cause problems and we have known each other for a long time and I don't think she likes me. Also just last night i was at my friend's (her brother's) house for his birthday and when i was riding in the car with them we were talking and she kept looking straight into my eyes. Whenever we talked before she never really did this. How can I get her to like me? Any advice? And What do you think that whole eye thing is all about?

Open Question: I need advice Please.?

Okay. Wow, I cant believe im asking random people what to do over the internet. But hopefully one of you guys can help. I've been dating this guy on and off for 2 months now. He is this amazingly great guy. He's nice, he's smart, and really good to me. The problem is.. Im just not attracted to him. I know, I know..Looks arent everything. According to everyone else..he is very cute. And he is. But he is..a saint. He acts perfect. I mean..He wont even say heck. Alot of girls would like that. But im the type of girl that likes fast cars and semi-crazy guys who are outgoing. This guy is just, boring. I cant take it. We've dated 4 times now..and each time i've broke up with him. I'm trying to make myself like him, and fall in love, and its just not working. Its like I woke up one morning and was like "I need love". Everyone says im nuts b/c he's a great guy, but there needs to be attraction. I want a boyfriend. But i go to a private school with 3 guys!...and yes...that factor practically makes it it possible to have a relationship. ahh. There are guys that like me...but i know that if i date them i'll hardly ever get to see them b/c they go to a different school. I dont want to put myself into a situation like that. So what do I do? I want a guy. =(

Open Question: I'm about ready to give up on this girl... a lot of details inside.?

History: This girl and I both work together at Hollister. I've know her since February of this year. We have/had a great relationship at work. She used to ask me to go on breaks with her and hangout with her outside of work all the time, but now she has stopped. We've hung out before like go to the movies together and once at the beach at 2am. The way we interact with each other, some coworkers and managers thought we were dating at one point. She doesn't know I like her, but honestly the way I treat her she should know unless she's just dumb. I can't tell if she likes me as well because she's so friendly to everyone that it's hard to read her. Problem: Yesterday she had a party which I wasn't invited to, but that's not the problem. She invites one of our new coworkers and I guess he tried to start a fight at the party and she's mad at him. She comes into work today tell her story to everyone, but I acted like I didn't care because it's really none of my business. Anyways today for the first time I saw a side of her that I can't stand. She was bitchy and rude. I walked by her to cheer her up and she says "either help me fold this or go away!" I just walked away. Then I noticed that she looks at me like she wants me to say something, but I didn't the entire night. Question: From her actions do you think she even liked me? Do you think she has lost interest? Should I take offense of how she acted today or brush if off because she wasn't in a bad mood? I was going to tell her I like her, but now I kinda think don't bother? I sorry for this long explanation, I just need to get this off my chest. Thanks anyone who helps!

Open Question: Issues with Sears repair on a Samsung LCD TV?

I have been without our 8 month old Samsung 52" LCD TV for 2 months! Everytime Sears came out to repair the tv, they could not and need to order more parts. (only twice) And of course every time we would set a date for it to be fixed, we would get a call that the parts are back ordered!!! Finally my husband called Samsung...funny they have the parts!!! hummm? So, we ordered the part and it came within less then a week. They have not cam out to fix it yet, but Samsung said if this does not work we will get a new tv. I believe that Sears owes me some sort of reinbursment! Has anyone had any problems with Sears?? What did you do about it??? Thanks!!

Open Question: Can't socialize when left alone with people. Is that normal?

When I'm in a group of people (depending on the group) I can be a joking, and energetic, and basically a contributing person in the group. (Though most of what I do would be joking around). Even in a group of 3 (myself included) I can be very talkative. But leave me alone with someone (even a good/very good friend, whom I can normally talk to in a group setting) and I clam up. I can't think of things to say. I keep thinking its my job to entertain them (as ridiculous as I know that is) or something, so silences KILL me. I also seem to lose all my energy. Even if I do talk a lot, it's all monotone-ish, passionless speech just for the sake of removing the silence. I'm a 20 year old male, and this has been a huge road block on both my social and dating life. I can only hang out in groups... which ain't gonna work on a date! I've searched google about this problem but I can't seem to find any results. Does this happen to anyone else? What's it called? Where can I talk to people who have the same problem? I should mention that this is almost like a fear. Albeit a small one. As in, I would rarely arrange plans without a third person, and would be reluctant to accept plans if it were just the two of us. I'm just afraid of the situation of being alone with someone.

Open Question: Base living. Gossiping, nosey neigbors. Have you had this experience?

Been living on post for more than just a year and already fed up with living on base. I am one who doesn't like to socialize with people that live on the doorstop. I won't be rude, if they say hi to me I will be courteous and say a hi back. However I'm not trying to be the type of neighbor where you feel you can come drop by everyday for iced tea and play dates. Most people especially the woman around here are catty, the neighbors come together during the day to have the kids play together and gossip about others. When one neighbor fights with another they form alliances. How mature. I've even seen grown up woman on this base call little kids punks, stupid brats and cuss at them. That to me is very disturbing and I feel they have some growing up to do on their part as you don't ever speak to kids that way. Meanwhile putting on airs and graces that they are perfect. I know this all because my daughter is friends with some of the neighbors kids. Sometimes I don't like her hanging around with the kids because of the behavior of the parents although it's not the fault of the kids and I am not going to punish my kid or the other kids especially since this all has nothing to do when them. It's all pretty pathetic. We even have neighbors that on purpose come over in the back to taunt our dogs, occasionally looking in the window to get a glance. Sadly our back yard is adjoined so I can't stop them from walking over but they really should respect the piece of yard that sits right out the back from our houses. I am sick of living on post. I lived on post at least 3 times and each time its about the same. Gossiping, alliances and petty crap. I've lived downtown and never had this problem. We are looking to buy a house and move off this base but I just want to know how many others have had problems like this. How did you handle it. Serious answers only.
