ok...well....i really like this guy...and we've been talking alot on aim lately...and he told me that he wasn't going to the winter ball (which is next week)...but tonight i found ou that he asked someone over the weekend (the 2nd person he asked) and when i found out i asked him what was new....he is the sweetest person i've ever met, he gives me Godly advice, he seems like he has it all together...and he doesn't want a girlfriend in high school, but i REALLY like him, he is so nice and it really seems like he cares...but he told my friends that we're just friends, kind of like just classmates, and that we're not too close...i wasn't thinking he was going to ask me, but what does this mean, does it mean that he doesn't like me at all (were not that close) i feel like weve gotten to know each other pretty well, but what should i do, i really have no idea! please help me with what i should do =*(
Omg...please answer?
believe it or not but you don't know each other pretty well. you're looking at the public personality of someone. see there's two sides of people: public and private. sure you see him everyday but the fact is you don't know him as well as you think. it's carma. "we're just friends" is slang for "i like you but i'm not ready to give in". don't persue him. just let him cave in.
Reply:He's not into you... Otherwise he would of asked you... Sorry
Reply:you should not even worry about it you will find some one more special i hope maybe in time to go to the ball with and its his loss anyway
Reply:y not start off by telling him what u juz told us all........and asking him to the ball with you....
Reply:well sadly, right now he doesnt like you, thats obvious
just try to be better friends with him, dont try to make a more than friends relationship right now, just get to be his buddy
Reply:If he said you're just friends and he asked someone else to the dance, there's your answer. Don't take it too personally, there's always going to be someone you like that doesn't like you back, it's part of being young and single. You'll feel differently when you find someone new to like.
Reply:It sounds like he pretty much told how it is. He likes you but only as a friend. %26amp; as hard as it may seem, you are going to have to accept that. I remember what it is like to like someone so much just to be called friend, but a guy that gives godly advice, is worth keeping in your life, even if it is just as friends. Broken hearts heal, %26amp; keep your chin up, you never know when %26amp; if his feelings will change for the better.
Reply:There's nothing you can do really..........The dude just sees you as his friend. What more do you want to be explained? He said that you are his friend.........like classmate.........you are not close.
Stop being so flustered. You might get hurt. Try to find someone is more than willing to go with you and that you like. You will have more fun. Don't settle for this dude.........honey, you will get hurt.
Reply:Sounds like he really cherishes your FRIENDSHIP, and that's all it is to him.
Reply:Wait till you turn 17 to date.
Reply:You are all over the place with that question. The guy says he isn't going to the dance but has asked 2 people? He doesn't want a girlfriend but you're worried whether or not he likes you? Major indications: He tells your friends that you're just friends and he hasn't asked you to the winter ball. Find a guy who isn't so confusing. Know who you are and what you want, then find a guy you like who knows who he is and wants you. Dating shouldn't be so complicated. Good luck.
Reply:I think that he thinks that your just friends and that when he said that you weren't that close he meant that you weren't dating.
Reply:right now.. he just want to be your friend..
nothing else.. nothing more..
what should you do? absolutely nothing..
you can still be arround as his friend..
or else you can risk ur friendship..
Reply:Next week, you'll like some other guy, like, REALLY, a lot, and this current sweetie pie will fade quickly into the abyss that is your 16-yr-old memory. I'm 34, and when I was 16, I was this guy you're talking about -- man, am I soooo glad I never had an "official" girlfriend in high school. This was the advice I gave my now 24-yr-old sister when she was in high school -- play the field. That doesn't mean have sex with a cast of characters -- it just means don't sweat not being asked to the Winter Ball. Next month, there's another dance.

What do you think?
We must live through the dreary winter
If we would value the spring;
And the woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers must be buried in darkness
Before they can bud and bloom,
And the sweetest, warmest sunshine
Comes after the storm and gloom.

What do you think?
Life message: For anything in this life to be good, we must all go through hard times to appreciate the good times. If life were all rosey and cheery and spring time all year round, we wouldn't know it was good, and it would simply be mundane and plain and boring. But when we go through a hard time, a wintery time in our life, when we finally come out, we appreciate the smallest joys of spring.
Reply:For achieving happiness, and appreciate life we must also experience, and deal with the struggles of life.
Reply:Pain is inevitable.
Suffering is optional.
Reply:Accepting life defines accepting death, death means darkness,calamity,tests,and even death itself.Apparently, these are the things an individual undergoes in life which makes him emotionally and mentally strong but most importantly makes and molded him as a human.True happiness resides behind life's tormoils, it depends to a person's prerogative if he will take risk to face and successfully surpass it and feel the worth of life, than suffering from the regret for not doing it or worst not even trying. The message that this poem wants to convey is that sucess and triumph in life is sweeter when you have tasted the sourness of sorrow and sacrifice..........................johnn...
Reply:In order to appreciate or even notice one "thing", you must see the other side.........how do you know youre happy, if you have never been sad.......how great does pride feel, but only if you have felt shame......

HELP! Shakespeare poem...?
TO me, fair Friend, you never can be old,
For as you were when first your eye I eyed
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters' cold
Have from the forests shook three summers' pride;
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turn'd 5
In process of the seasons have I seen,
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burn'd,
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
Ah! yet doth beauty, like a dial-hand,
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceived; 10
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceived:
For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred,—
Ere you were born, was beauty's summer dead.
"For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred"
I have asked this questinon many times now, but I keep getting different explainations on what this line means.
So who is he talking to?
Unbred? not born yet? is yhis what it means? is so, then who?
English is not my mother tounge.
HELP! Shakespeare poem...?
I believe he is saying that he believes that his friend is still as beautiful as he was when he first saw him three years ago (li 1 - 8); however, he recognizes that beauty may fade without him ever noticing (li 9 - 12). So, "for fear of which" (meaning, he's afraid it might be true that he can't tell that his friend is in fact aging), he addresses those to come - those whose ages have not yet been bred, or concieved - and says that before they are ever born, beauty has failed, i.e. that his friend was most beautiful and they will never get to see it.
Reply:It's Sonnet 104 by Shakespeare. He's not talking to anyone in particular, but to people of the future in general. These are people who haven't been "bred" yet, and therefore don't yet exist.
The link below has a "translation" of the sonnet into contemporary English. Hope that helps!

Why the sudden weight gain in a foreign country??
Before moving to this new country I was 5'2'' and normally between 115-120 lbs. I ate what I wanted, but was running 4-5 times a week...nothing drastic, just outside or on a treadmill until I got tired. I just moved to a new country where it is cold, and underdeveloped and now have no gym and little opportunity for physcial activity (though I try with my workout dvd's,) I am a vegetarian and eat really healthy here (when it is available, sometimes I find myself eating only apples for my fruit intake because it's all I can find!), but am still gaining weight! I've cut back on my calories, and I cut out sweets. Still, no luck...I can't explain it! Any ideas? I think I'll be fine once it warms up and I can run again, but until then I need advice, there are still a good 3 months of winter left here, and I don't want to get so far gone that it takes me a year to slim back down! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Why the sudden weight gain in a foreign country??
Its this change of environment. Are you sleeping well. That does affect your weight. Also some fruits are too high in sugar. Well I know I cant take more than 1 apple a day. Your fibre intake too might be low.
Get a lot more vegetable and see what happens. Its difficult, I know.
Reply:maybe it's the temperature. Cold temperature makes it hard to sweat a lot. How bout more water?

Does anyone remember Josseys Giants? it was a BBC kids TV programme about a kids football team.
Reply:Parents of 80's children remember all this too because we had to buy it or watch it. "By the Power of Greyskull!". And you forgot Pob btw.
Reply:Spot on. apart from dirty dancing an the banana clip, do a wicked impression of Uni from D %26amp; D, an I have wings of steel whoosh ching. Always wanted that Soda stream, even though they tasted naf. lol
Major flash backs LOL Thank you.
Reply:Oh man...did you bring back some memories...(born in 1977)
Reply:How could you forget any of that?
The D%26amp;D cartoon is now available, as are almost all of the great cartoons of the 80s, on DVD.
The song is "Oh Mickey".
I remember when a dollar bought a 10 oz soda and 2 crocodiles. Oh those were the days. Now you can't even get a soda for a dollar.
Now that I am a new dad and get up early every morning wit my daughter, I miss all of the great early morning cartoons and especially the Saturday morning cartoons. Now there isn't anything on except infomercials. How depressing for the kids of today.
Reply:Ah, those were the days. Any self respecting child of the 80's should also remember:
Dogtanian and the three muskahounds
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Thundercats
Defenders of the Earth
Button Moon and the fashion statement that was very large bright Fila Trainers
Reply:This made me chuckle yet also feel melancholy. Ah, my lost youth. lol.
You'd also remember a lilt like drink with uber cool adverts ending in the whispered word "Quatro"
Metal Mickey would have made you laugh (boogie woogie)
You'd have owned at least 2 pairs of neon socks just so you could wear a different colour on each foot.
Good things were "skill"

Reply:I remember nearly all that stuff because I was a child, then a teenager in the 1980s, but I still don't consider myself THAT OLD!!! Now, I'm a little more than a little older than a teenager though. I'm still young at heart!
Reply:hahaha, those were the days, remember quite afew of those things.

Reply:I was born in 72, so maybe a little old and I wasn't into Kylie and Jason at 16 and I've never heard of British Bulldog (as I wasn't allowed out at playtime for medical reasons), but everything else is so true. No more details as a lot of it has brought back so many embarassing, and yet cool memories. The 80's ruled full stop! I wish it was still like that!
Reply:I'm a parent of 3 80's kids and i remember all of that. i was quite upset when they changed he-man but the kids didn't care.
Reply:Ahh, good times. I was born 11th december 1989 - a whole 3 weeks of the 80s lol!
I got love for you if you were born in the 80s! :P (don't tell me you didn't see that coming! :P)
How does one choose a quality beer that tastes good?
I went to the grocery store tonight and looked at all the different beers they had to choose from. I'm not talking about the general beers that most know of. I am referring to the high quality beers from all different parts of the world. It was very difficult for me to decide on one beer out of all the different ones. It's sort of like choosing a fine wine I suppose. What are the main differences between gourmet beers to look for? I like the less thick, lighter, sweeter beers, not the heavy stout bitter ones. Does anyone have any reccommendations on how to choose a good beer? Tonight I took a gamble and went with Heavy Seas' "Winter Storm" ale. It's a bit strong for my tastes, but it has a nice kick. Any help would be appreciated.
How does one choose a quality beer that tastes good?
I used to spend an hour picking out a beer, I completely understand where you are coming from.
What I used to do:
1. Stand in the aisle look like an idiot
2. Finally just ask myself what type of beer I was in the mood for.
3. Pick beer from above category at random.
What I do know:
1. Stand in the beer aisle look like an idiot.
2. Whip out my blackberry and cruise over to http://beeradvocate.com
3. Read reviews and look at ratings.
PS. I used to love going to the Winking Lizard when I lived in Cleveland. They just got a mention on http://www.whysoserious.com/ the Dark Knight/Joker web page. And I personally have tried to limit my trips to ratebeer.com as of late. I've done several side by side comparisons between BA and RB.. I've found that RB has become too snobby as of late.
Reply:beeradvocate.com is a good website to look at. Also try ratebeer.com, people from all over the world come to this site to rate beers, you can find any beer on there and many different descriptions of the beer. It will also have a rating, anywhere from 1 percentile to 100 percentile. The funny thing is, the most well known beers (Budweiser, Miller, Coors) have the worst rating. People actually call them "Drain Pours", as in pour it down the drain and don't drink it.

Reply:save up your pennies, and go to a bar that serves LOTS of good beers, such as the winking lizard chain in Ohio ( columbus and cleveland at least) and read the menu of beers ( they have like 100) and try the ones that SOUND good.. every one has diferent tastes, I like india pale ales and a few darker beers ( bass, killeans)
Reply:Start at this website...... looks good, and will probably take you other places. Good Luck.

Reply:Just like buying fine wine, you need to taste test.
Find a good vintner, someone who knows there wines; beers and spirits.
Read the labels, buy a few bottles of differing types and see what you like.
For you I would suggest some blondes. Try some Belgium or German beers. I prefer bitters. But I am told Leffe is a good Belgium blonde. Certainly readily available in the UK.
Go to a beer festival or two and talk and taste.
Reply:Trial and error is the fun of it! I try a new 6 pack every few weeks.
My hub likes Grolsch and Elephant and I like Sam Adams Winter Lager lately.
Have fun!

The best way to choose a quality beer that tastes good is to learn more about beer and drink more beer. Find a brewery or brew pub, preferably one that offers tours. Take the tour, listen to the information they give you and ask questions. After the tour taste a variety of their beers and ask more questions. Also, tours tend to be very inexpensive ($3-$5) or free.
Then, find another brewery or brew pub and do it again*. And again. Practice makes perfect.
Attend a local beer festival. http://www.beerfestivals.org/ Sample everything and ask the brewery reps questions.
Finally, find a good liquor store with a knowledgeable staff that likes beer.
*I have found this is very easy in Milwaukee, WI and Denver/Fort Collins, CO. Your mileage may vary.
Reply:It sounds like you would probably enjoy a hefenweizen. Its a little sweeter with a himt of lemon or orange. You would probably want to stay away from lagers, porters, IPAs, stouts, etc. I sometimes enjoy hefenweizens (I'm not really into sweet beers), but I stay away from German Hefenweizens because they tend to taste like bologna. If you like sweet, you can also go for a Belgium beer, which is sweet but still has a strong beer flavor. You can also go for a belgium Lambic. Usually these beers are very sour, but often have sugar added. Try Lindemans Lambic which is sweet, sour, crisp, and fruity. It is still a beer. not a wine cooler.
