I am to be Chrismated this week at my new Church. It is Melkite Greek Orthodox Catholic Church. I am disappointed that my grandparents refuse to come. On top of that they did not tell me the true reason that they aren't coming. They told me that it was the "weekly hair appointment" that couldn't be changed. Which is garbage. My father told me they would not come because their beliefs do not match. How do they know that without even walking in the church one time? I mean really. I don't know why I am suprised, but it has hurt my feelings a little bit.

They are good people and build churches as part of a mission in the Baptist Church. I have been Baptist up until now but two things have guided me to this church: the need to be a little more celebratory of Christ's Resurrection and Saviour of us people, and my fiance is the Cantor. If my fiance wasn't the Cantor or we weren't together, I would still like to be a part of this church.

I have tried and tried to explain that this is not the Roman Catholic Church and some of the things I have learned. They are so prejudiced as to what a Catholic is to them. Which at one time I heard: mean, Italian, and wrong. Which none of the three are true.

I realize that they aren't going to change to my religion ever, but I am a bit upset they wouldn't come for my sake. At least they are coming to the wedding.

So do I bug them every day until the event so that I can see them, or just let it go? How can I get them to understand my decision? (link)
if it would make you happy than stand by tour decision and explain to them it hurts and that it means alot to you and well if they still dont tell you why or dont tell you than forgret them


Well, My 5 year olf brother and I walked into the room my 16 year old sister and I share, and we saw her and her boyfriend having sex...

They didnt even know we were there for like two minutes... I was frozen, my feet rooted to the floor, but then finally my brother pulled me away... the problem is... My brother asked me, just as we walked out, "what were they doing there?"

I seriously dont know how to answer him... I mumbled something, but all week he's been persisting, and I need to give him an answer before he asks my parents and gets my sister into trouble... Please help!!! (link)

well your not beging stupid but it sounds to me that wouldnt be feeling mad or jelous in less you dudnt still have feelings for him and like you said he said that he was still in love with you so maybe he's trying to get you mad and jelous so if you like tell him

well he knows you look good and you know that you look good so really he shouldnt bother you and i know sometimes its hard to inore it buttry harder and maybe stop beging so shy and say something back

I am goin to see the love of my life this weekend! im sooo excited! but im not sure how far i should go with him. we have talked about it and we want to wait for things like sex, but im still not sure on how far i should go. i am 14 and he is 16. he means the world to me and i want to show him that! how can i show him that other than sexual activity but still let a little activity take place? (link)
honey i know how you feel and beleive me its not an easy thing to handle but from what your quesyions tells me is that your not ready for a sexual relationship and you can show yopur boyfriend that you love him and by you telling him writing letters maybe buying him things making him things remeber the little things count the most


The guy who I've really liked for over a year said that he kind of likes me. What does it mean if he kind of likes me? My friend who is friends with him thinks that since he's shy, he said that he kind of likes me because he was too shy to say yes. This other guy who I talked to who doesn't even know the guy I like said that he thinks it means that the guy I like thinks I'm hot and has a little crush on me, but isn't really like in love with me. What do you think it means if he kind of likes me? (link)
well it seems to me that hes not really sure so i think that you shouldnt dwell on it and if you really want to know hey dont be shy ask him what he means dont get any wrong ideas intil you heard it from the horeses mouth yourself

Over the past few weeks my boyfriend has seemed [for lack of better words] wilted. He isn't happy, around me that is. He just came over so we could study for a test, and he was TOTALLY uniterested in me.. like over and over I asked him if I was that uninteresting, and if I was that unatractive and he said no to both, but that didn't change his mood.. I'm getting mixed singals here. Yes I have talked to him about this but what else can I do? (link)

honey my heart goes out to you ,you seem like you really love this gurl and well my advice to you would be to have a serious chat


hey there, some of you know that I answered a LOT of questions in this site. My friend doesnt have internet in her house so she asked me to ask for your opinion.
She likes her best guy friend, a lot, she cant stop thinking about him and she always gets upset when hes around other girls. I know he considers her as his sister, HE TOLD ME!
What she wants to do is let him realise she likes him more than a friend but I told her it would screw up everything! things would get awkward and stuff. So what she's asking is, should she tell him? Personally I dont think she should.
And she also asked why he hangs out and fools around with other girls instead of her?
I told her because you dont have the same interests and he thinks youre too calm (he told me). So do you agree with me or do you have another opinion? (link)
well there 2 answers to her question one you have a really goood point because he thinks her as a sistery type but then again she also has to decide if shes ready for a change un there friendship she could tell him how she feels but then shes going to have to deal whatever happens you know stay friends or not or hey she might get what she wants and become more thatn just friends


THIS IS PRETTY LONG AND BORING....
Im 20m and never had a girlfriend!!!I never even hold or kiss a girl before.... It's not that im ugly or gay, although im not the cute or handsome type either. When i was in high school there were a few girls that come up to me but they weren't my type so i refused them all. But the girl that was my type, i never had the courage to ask them out (im very shy around the girl i like). Now that i drop out of college and work fulltime, i dont have the chance of meeting new people. HOW AM I GOING TO GET A GF? I dont hang out that much and i had never step foot in a club before. Here's the weird thing, the older i get the pickier i am about girlfriend. I thought that not having a gf is suppose to make me desperate, but im not, although i do want a gf pretty bad. What make it worse is that i dont like party girls or girls that would go out with someone that just met and thought he is kinda cute, of course there is nothing wrong with that, im just being picky. I would like to get to know the girl a lil bit before i go out with her, but HOW AM I GOING TO DO THAT???? (link)
well theres your problem your way to picky you just cant sit there and wait for somebody to come to you but you know what im not even going to front because i know that everybody has a certin type but hey why not finally take a risk and go for some body different.


Guys only please-just a quick question wondering if i could get some feedback

i used to have a friends with benefits deal with this kid-and after going on for about a year it ended just recently about 3 months ago-my question-do you think it would be akward for me to IM and just start talking to him him seeing as i've never done so before or as a guy would u find that akward and uncalled for? just wondering thanks a lot (link)
dear lond time ago,

i had that same problem i also a freind with benifits that just recently ended and it depends on how your relationship was if it was just based on you know benifits or was it based on friendship with a curiosty.
