I just found out that there is going to be a ten year highschool reunion for my grad class this august. I said I was going to go and already sent the check in the mail. Well I looked at the website for who is already signed up to go and this guy that was really popular who I was madly in love with is going to be there. He knew I liked him and treated me like dirt. I still get nightmares sometimes. I've changed alot since school. My question is how can I be less nervous when I go and have to see him? Also how should I act around him? (link)

Go out, buy a new dress, get your hair done and make yourself HOT! That way your confidence will be up there and he will be the one who is nervous.
I wouldn't make the first move, either. Play it cool around everyone else. You will have enough people to chat with to keep yourself busy anyway. If he does approach you, don't bring up the past. Just focus on now. Let him know how well you are doing. I know it's mean, but I saw an old high school boyfriend who totally broke my heart and it felt really good to tell him how I am happily married with a son and my husband owns a business so I am able to stay home. I didn't forget to add in that I own a house and our upcoming florida vacation, either. You wanna know what HE was doing??? Living in his parent's basement! HA! That felt great!
The first step is CONFIDENCE!

I have an emotional dilemma. I have a male friend who I have known for over 25 years. We talk at least three times a day, discuss politics and history, like the same movies and books, grew up in the same neighborhood, enjoy the same lifestyles. We’ve been through a lot together and he has always been generous to me, and helped me in my business and personal life.
However, we both have had two marriages each to other people (we're both divorced right now). I never felt a physical attraction to him, that is, until just in the past eight months. To my surprise, he’s a passionate lover. I find myself feeling things for him that I’ve never felt before.
Now we have to decide whether to be together, but there’s a problem. I don’t think we want the same things in relationships. He says that I have to give up trying to control the relationship, and I say a relationship is a 50-50 proposition. I think he punishes me by withholding affection and being critical, and he says if I feel that way I should move on. He says he wants me to be submissive to him, but that just seems like the start of an abusive relationship to me. He says I'm just used to being in charge all the time and he's not having it.
I suspect his attitude is probably one of the reasons why he hasn’t had successful marriages, but I haven't been a success at marriage either. I just can’t see clearly right now. Should I at least try to change to accommodate him or should I just move on???

Take it from me...I married my best friend. We have been HAPPILY married for 6 years now! It was weird in the beginning when we started dating because I never looked at him in "that way" but we quickly got past that. The benefits of being with someone you are friends with first is that there is no pretending. You know him, he knows you...You have to be upfront and honest with each other fron the start. You need to sit down together and decide what you want to do. If you don't think your differences will mesh well together, then don't go there. You certainly don't want to ruin a friendship if the relationship goes sour. But if you can compromise and learn to live with each other it may be the best thing you have ever done. Like I said, sit down together and talk...even put your pros and cons down on paper. Be honest with each other, and yourself. That's what my husband and I did 6 years ago...I have never been happier. I hope this helps!

Rubbing Alcohol! That's it! My son got permanent marker on my wood table and I used rubbing alcohol. You have to scrub a little (with something soft like a cotton ball) but it will come out. Then you may notice that the surface you just cleaned is turning white. Don't panic, that's just the finish on the wood. You will need to wipe off the excess alcohol, let the surface dry and then finish it with with Old English. Not the kind used for dusting (like pledge), use the liquid scratch remover kind. Works like a dream!
Hope this works!
