What does he want from you? Is he too afraid to go on his own, knowing you'll be there, knowing people are aware you're not together? What a gimp. Tell him you're not interested, you're going stag, you're going with a girl, you're not going... Turn him down and do it flatly. He's just going to keep badgering you if he's starting in December.

Sounds like he likes you and miss ex still likes him. I wonder who did the dumping? Do a little research. It shouldn't be hard. If you see any suspicious activity on his part, run away. Run far, far away. Don't even give him friendly smiles, much less kisses. People don't change. Don't let him use you.

How do you know what you're against? Especially considering these are childhood morals, maybe it's time to update.

I found an odd character in one of my art classes three years ago, stuck it through some conversations that most people would find disturbing, and now we're engaged. Funny huh. My parents are shittin kittens, but we're going to be happier and more successful than they ever were.
Sticking with the norm guarantees you'll always get what you've always gotten. The point of life is to experience and learn.

Even if you weren't a virgin, I would lay bets odds-on that you're not pregnant. Several things you said point me to this:
1.You're nervous. Did you know you really CAN worry yourself sick? I've done it. Stress is the number one cause of many many difficulties. Stress puts an incredible strain on the digestive, mental, sleep, circulatory, hormonal and nervous systems. Your period is a very very delicate operation and EVERYTHING you do affects it. Stress makes your period all out of whack. My senior year, I was so stressed at finals, mine was 6 DAYS late.
2. You've been sick. As I said your period reacts to every change in your body from sleeping, eating, stress and exercise habits. There's just about no such thing as a regular period.
3. You're new to this. It takes about 3 years for your period to become "regular", and even then it's hard for many people to predict when it's coming or not.

I wouldn't worry about it. Honestly, it'll show up, and if it doesn't, at least you're not pregnant. My friends have even had skipped periods before due to freaking about various things. Get some sleep and eat red meat or spinach for the iron content, take some long baths and try to relax.

The good thing about divorce is, it makes people exist on their own. The consequence of this is, they suddenly realize they're not responsible for people's happiness any more, and revert to a 5-year old mentality. They're doing what THEY want and to HELL with everyone else. Nice. If they're fighting over this or making you feel guilty or pressured, it's just not worth it. Unfortunately it seems to be a trend.

The American way is that eating is a social event. odd, but true. people get insulted if you DON'T partake. Considering that the holidays are supposed to be a relaxing time of joy and friendliness, why don't you try the same as they--sit on your bum in the kitchen and tell everyone "you come over here, or I stagnate and you no see me". I commend you for being responsible but people just don't always cooperate. Don't forget about your own welfare.

You'll probably never have him. Never never never. That said, how long do relationships at your school last? You can't make him love you if he doesn't have any mental stimuli about you whatsoever. Guys can't pick stuff out of the air. If you want to talk to him, pick a neutral topic. His girlfriend will be gone in 3 months tops, so you can just chat it up then. Otherwise, honestly, there is nothing you can do, and in 2 or 3 years you'll think you were an idiot for spending so many calories on a guy who doesn't even have a clue.

Probably the problem you're having is a difficulty translating the question from format to format--that is, understanding the information in Work format vs. Question format. Try working backwards through the question as soon as you understand it in the work. When you get back to your base equation, you have your test question. Try explaining the questions to someone else, or paraphrasing the bookwork in terms that aren't going in circles. The more interesting/weird way you present the material to your brain, the harder it will stick.

As to the miracle, light a yellow candle and beg Isis for a little intellectual inspiration.

It's unbelieveably common for this kind of crap to happen, and it always causes extreme agony. In fact this has happened to me twice, and I got all upset and depressed over it. It sounds like Robert is playing the field. He wasn't sure where to stand with two girls being affectionate, so he acted like a baby and threw out an emotion to test the waters. Time is a balm with these sort of things, trust me. Within 6 months or a year you'll wonder why you loved Robert so much, your friend will date him and quickly break up, or she'll find another man. You don't have to stop being friends with him for fear of her, but remember how many billions of people are out there. You'll find many friends, probably some a hundred times better than Robert.

People have been coming to me for advice so long, I might as well do this all in one spot. I watch a lot of unfathomable Japanese TV and drink a lot of coffee. I'm a freshly-hatched Illustration major, formerly trapped & dying in the American South, now busily teaching phrases to all of Nagoya Japan. I'm always on the lookout for more video games and sushi.
I have lots of interesting pets. Wanna see my beetle?
