I am a father of three, girl, boy, girl, all are now over 18. I have been married for 29 years as of 6-30-07, so yes, if you do the math I was married at 18, just after graduating high school. I am very aware of the pit falls of doing so, but we made it through the really tough times. I came to this site, because of my daughter, she also uses the site.

I am an author and have written three books, only one under this name, but it is not how I make my living. I am in business, working full time and I have a seasonal business in ponds, selling Koi, goldfish, water plants and supplies. I help people to plan and build ponds, as well as, maintenance if they need it.

I am not here for the ratings and could careless what you rate me. I will tell you things I know, I will tell you what you don't want to hear, but most of all, I will tell you things from my perspective. I have experienced a lot in my life, I have not lived with my head in the sand and I'm a realist, you want someone to blow smoke up your as*, don't read my writings, (I don't do fairy tales).

I am not so foolish as to think I am always right, I can only tell you what I know and give you something to think about. It is up to you to find out if I'm right or not.

Life is complicated, because people are complicated and one answer does not necessarily fit all, but that doesn't mean you should not consider what I say as a possibility.

Feel free to write me personally if you wish, there is only so much you can say in such a restrictive environment as this site is, it doesn't allow for proper conversation.

Thank you for coming to my column and giving me the chance to help.

You don't have to research him, that is what you do once the relationship starts up. You have the perfect opening coming up, Summer break. sit down next to him on the bus and ask him what he's going to do this summer, if he tells you somethings he's planning on and it is something you could do too, say, "that sounds fun, could I join you some time?" If he gives you nothing to work with, tell him something you want to do and ask if he's ever done it. If he has, say, "do you think we could go out sometime so you could show me how it's done?" If not, ask him if he'd like to go out and try it with you. Doesn't matter if you have done it or not, guys have always reacted to this kind of thing, appeals to the man in them. No offense but it's the helpless female thing, hey if it works, right?

Don't lead off with your name, that's for business, leave some mystery there at first, tell him inside the conversation, or as it is ending. Make sure you have pen and paper on you, so you can give him your phone number, but make it look like you didn't plan it say, "I think I have a pen and paper here", shuffle for it a little and say, "ya, here it is", when you find it.

He doesn't have to know how planned the whole thing is, if it goes far enough, you can both laugh about it when your older.
