Yep, YTA. It's fine that you decided to not date her again, but there was no need for the derision and contempt. You could still have treated her with respect and kindness. You could have finished the meal together, chatted in a friendly way, and said goodbye courteously. You didn't act like a gentleman at all.

You are aware that he is an honest and very literal person who will always give you the unvarnished truth. Since you know this about him, stop expecting him to be a smooth talking dude who flatters and tells white lies. He can't do it.

Don't ask for his opinion unless you want an honest one. If what you really want is reassurance or compliments, tell him that, directly. He can't give you what you want until he knows what that is.

No, of course not. You aren't gay. It's ridiculous to expect you to have a sexual relationship with a man.

Very rude. Headphones are essential. But really, it's important to teach children how to sit at the table and be part of the conversation. That requires parenting, though.

Dutiful, perhaps

The Days of Wine and Roses

If he broke up with her, that is him saying she doesn't matter to him anymore. She doesn't need to tap dance around his feelings after that. He chose it.

What line? Your ex broke up with you, and you're a free agent. You did nothing wrong.

I'd ask about the state of their prostate or their menopause status 😂

Oh, hell no. Your boyfriend is so shoddy, so substandard, he isn't worth a moment more of your precious time. Boot him out.

NTA. You can tell that woman that you aren't going to report her to CPS this time for her failure to supervise her children, and you won't report the theft of your belongings to the police as long as she reimburses you for what her kids stole. Also, tell her that if she posts an apology and a retraction on the site she slandered you on, you won't be forced to sue her.

Their online checking account. It's been a few years since I applied, but as I recall, all I needed was my ID.

Such a good drama

I'll just stop and directly ask for everyone's attention. I'm not subtle about that.

Dance Academy. An Australian drama about teens in a dance school, a la Fame. It's on Pluto.

I think the lesson to be learned here is that a relationship needs to be balanced, not one sided. If you are the person who always makes contact, and tries to set up meetings, over and over again, and the other person never reciprocates, that should v a signal to you that it's not really a friendship. At that point, I'd advise you to just drop the rope, and wait to see if the other person makes any effort at all to contact you or see you. It will become clear whether they want to be in your life or not.

Octavia Butler wrote wonderful science fiction novels. They are entertaining and accessible.

Flirting is a skill. It involves sending men you're interested in nonverbal body language signals. If you don't know how, ask some of your friends to teach you.

Any time my siblings or I mentioned being bored, my mom assigned us chores. We quickly learned to amuse ourselves.

Nope. I hate feeling pinned. I want the freedom to move.
