SHOULD I pay any rent at all?
Short version: We never agreed on terms, and I never moved in. His demands were nuts, so I backed out. Do I owe anything at all? Long version: I thought I'd agreed to move in to a shared 5 bedroom house with 4 existing roommates, into a room that would be available once the master tenant moved out and into another room. I met with the last potential roommate and told the master tenant I wanted to move in, and we settled on giving him a week ('till the 9th of May) to move rooms and I expected to move in and pay rent from that date. Yesterday (Monday, May 3) I went over to drop off a check to seal the deal, and the master tenant demanded I pay from the first. He thought I'd said some things during our interview discussions to indicate that I'd pay from the first. I don't think even think the things he claims were said would have set that expectation: When I first saw the place Apr 26, he said that he wanted to get it filled ASAP - with someone who could take it from the 1st if possible. He asked when I could move, and I said I didn't have to give 30 days notice, and yes I could afford to pay double rent for the time it took to move my stuff. We didn't discuss a lease/occupancy time period other than him requiring (and me verbally agreeing in principle to, that is saying "I'd be ok with") a 1-2 month mutual no-bad-feelings trial period, and a stated monthly rent. Also, he mentioned wanting a tenant to move in ASAP, by the 1st if possible. Seems to me that if you expect someone to pay rent from before they move in, your expectation isn't reasonable if you have no rental agreement, no rent in hand, no clear oral agreement, and the delayed move is because the room is fully occupied and needs to be cleared out. I don't want to live with someone who is so unclear on the distinction between what he wants and what others agree to provide, and so adamantly asserts his needs as primary. (There were prior warning signs I knew about (e.g. loud arguing and violent behavior toward a lover, and an incident where he put his needs first, above those of the group) but talks with the roommates had for a time convinced me he wasn't excessively demanding of others and a good communicator.) Because this particular kind of personality conflict (over unreasonable expectations) is very bothersome to me, I don't want to move in anymore, as I feel it's likely to recur often, and told him that. He is repeatedly calling, chatting, and emailing (on and off Facebook), telling me not to f*** him, to not s***w him over, and not mess up his relationship with his landlord, and is insistent that pay him a month's rent because I agreed to move in. SHOULD I pay? If so, what? There's nothing material in writing - just him offering the place, the rent, and me texting that I wanted to move in. No consideration has changed hands, and I don't think there was a 'meeting of the minds' for an oral agreement either. I ask because he is so adamant that I pay that I'm questioning my own judgement. I'm also curious about any legal thoughts or opinion, but we have friends in common, so a legal answer that doesn't take ethics into consideration isn't what I'm looking for. Legally, everything is in my favor: no written agreement, no oral agreement, no consideration, and < $1000 in question. Venue: California. So legally, it's a no-brainer, IMO. I think there's a decent argument that I pay for three days rent - from when I said I would move in 'till I realized the terms were not agreeable - and that a perfect gentleman would offer to pay that - and that a perfect gentleman would refuse the payment. Should I pay that? What do you think I should do, and why? Debdeb: "The guy who is actually preventing you from moving in sooner thinks you should pay for 8 days of the month that he occupied your room. Is that right?" Yup. Just to be complete, I should mention that after a lengthy battle (several long phone calls) he did say that though I needed to pay the full rent now, he'd give me back $100 or so, or more if he was able to rent it out before the end of the month. And after I got so fed up I said I wasn't moving in, he did offer to accept just the rent from the 9th to the end of the month. <sarcasm>Generous, don't you think?</sarcasm> Anyway, thanks for the reality check. I really appreciate it.

I think you'd be nuts if you did move in! You don't owe him anything. He's crazy out of control, and you don't need his drama. Do not pay him anything. To pay him anything at this point would be an admission that you agreed to move in under whatever conditions he's currently claiming exist. Change your phone number and whatever else you have to change so he can no longer pester you.

There's a lot of words there, but what I think I see is that you agreed to move into the room on May 9, expecting to pay partial rent in May starting that day. Nothing is signed. The guy who is actually preventing you from moving in sooner thinks you should pay for 8 days of the month that he occupied your room. Is that right? He wants to fill the room by May 1 if possible, but he won't be out of it until May 8. What am I missing here? How could anyone think you should pay for the time when he prevented you from occupying the room? I don't think you owe anything, and I'd stay away from this demanding bozo.

need motivation and people's opinion?
need motivation and people's opinion?
okay,this may be long but I hope someone can help. So I'm a community college student and I am on this "crossroad" dilemma. I apply to transfer to a 4 year university in California after being at a community college for 3 years. I am already got in to 1 and I'm on my last 2 weeks waiting for 4 more admission decisions. As I wait for these decisions, I have been thinking about my life within the last 3 years after high school graduation. The last 3 years have been weird. What happen is that i live a sort of uncommon life in comparison to my friends to my friends and peers. I dedicate myself to my studies these days that I happen to become a loner. I rarely go out with friends anymore. And some of group of friends that I kind of wish I could spend more time have a flaw: they're friends with an ex-girlfriend of mine. I have low paying job since I want to get a car but the only problem is I only work once a week and finding a better paying job are away and definitely need a car. Almost all my peers have cars and they're enjoying the heck out of their lives. From my observation is that I feel that I'm missing out the fun in my early 20's. First of all, my closest friends don't go to college and they work. So I can't discuss school related stuff as often. Plus,they're into video games, which I'm not. Another draw back is that those who do go to school (community college or university) are not majoring in science so I feel the weird one. I love science because of the fact that while its difficult,I'm actually learning stuff. Not to criticize liberal art majors but the harder courses make you think "outside the box" like in calculus or chemistry (funny thing though is that I need some psychological help in my question;irony,lol!). Anyways, the biggest problem I have is when people ask me why I don't have a girlfriend. Now, I have dated about once or twice but at those times, I just felt uncomfortable being with another person. I just didn't felt in the mood of a relationship; I didn't have feelings for that person. So it bugs me when some of my friends (guy or girl) ask me why I'm not in one. For me, I feel that I want to transfer out to a good school because I don't want to work in low paying job as I am right now;I really care about education and it saddens me that some just view it as a chore or something. But while my friends respect my decision, my ex-girlfriends ask me the same question. At this point, I am like "wth???why do you care?". What happen is that I use to try to get her back with me for 2 years after she broke up with me. So I decided that once she was in college,I will never ever talk to her again (in person). We have always been friends online since we broke up but we have added and deleted each other several times. The last time she deleted me, I decided I will not be Mr. Nice Guy anymore. She added me again in December but I vow not to chat her on facebook. She has always started the conversation the few times I spoke to her in Fb. But the last 2 times she kept mentioning "her man" and that she was serious about him and she was going to drop out of college for him (her current boyfriend is about to graduate next year and they plan to come back to California since she is at Iowa). And while I could care less now, yesterday she ask about "any lucky gals out there for me?" after she had mention her bf many times before. It feels she is rubbing it in my face because she knows I was in deep love for her 3 years ago. So in essence,I am asking what should I do about my life as I go on with my life.Should I work hard to get a car(I don't think I need a car since I plan to dorm when I transfer)?What should I do with my closest friends(should I try to be into video games because that's like the one thing they're super into)?what should I do with my ex-girlfriend(I wanted to delete her on Facebook but I want to show that I'm stronger than her and that I have move on. Seriously, I feel like I'm competing against her. I don't care about relationships right now because I have not gotten that feeling to be someone yet.EEERRR,but I want to show that the day she left me was her biggest mistake(btw,the break up was on 2008)). I can wait to transfer out so I can finally meet some people with the same interest like me and possibly find a good girl that cares about me.

It's a long read. First, don't look back. Stop thinking about the past three years. Instead focus on the next three years. About your friends: If your friends have different interests than yours, then try to look for new friends that shares the same interest as you are. Remember, birds of a same feather flocks together, so it's understandable that you will not be compelled to stick with your old friends. About your ex-girlfriend: Move on. Meet someone else. The easiest way to get him out of your mind is to meet someone else. About motivation: Set a goal. If you think you need to get a car to get yourself motivated, then do it. Don't let yourself get distracted by things. I recommend reading the link below to get you more motivated.

(Long details) Is my wife over-reacting to me removing her on Facebook or did she get what she deserves?
(Long details) Is my wife over-reacting to me removing her on Facebook or did she get what she deserves?
My wife is a total pedant. She doesn't want me commenting on ANYTHING she posts and she doesn't want me posting on her wall. I told her that if she doesn't want me posting anything in her "personal space" then she should put privacy filters up so I can't see it. She refuses to and she just expects me to "behave myself". I'll violate her "rules of Facebook" by posting a remark on her stuff that's meant to be funny. She can't see the sense of humor in it and she calls it "passive-aggressive" because she sees it as "inappropriate" yet the teasing I do is the same teasing everyone else does online in our circle of friends. Yesterday, my wife posted a status shuffle about needing more coffee. It was meant as a joke to everyone reading it. I posted a comment "Typical Morning" as a way to poke fun that she always feels this way. Since she can't laugh at her flaws due to some incredibly low self esteem (that she's doing nothing for but whining) she raged. So I deleted the comment. Then I went to her wall and posted on her wall "OMG! I just posted something on your wall! lololololololololol". Then I commented on it saying "OMG! I just commented on the post that I put on your wall lolololololololololol" and then after I knew she saw it I deleted it when she told me it wasn't funny and got extremely angry. Finally I said "what's the point of having you on my friends list if I can't enjoy your company?" and I blocked her. I did NOT like the solution I made for this argument but if she was unwilling to put filters up and if she's unwilling to go to marriage counseling for HER issues (I'm in therapy so I'm working out mine already) then I think I made the only solution available. Personally I feel the entire thing is immature and just more ways she's trying to control me (this isn't the only thing she does to prove she's more important than me). Since I've blocked her, she's accusing me of not seeing her point of view. I see her point of view just fine, she's fragile because of her low self esteem and because she's fragile she expects me to follow these pedantic rules to give her a good public image on her Facebook wall so her friends can like her more and it will boost her image. But this is a childish way of looking at things, she shouldn't have artificial self esteem by bolstering it with Facebook and FAKE friends so I stood my ground because this is about the way SHE treats ME on the social network and rather than have retarded problems that didn't exist until Facebook and MySpace came around, I'd rather just end communications this way so she can have her Facebook and I can have mine. If you watched the Social Network movie, my wife's behavior is very similar to the Asian girl that Eduardo was dating while Mark was in California... After she got off work, she gave me a 4 hour silent treatment (more psychological aggression). I asked her if she wanted to talk this through and she asked "did you unblock me from Facebook" and I told her "No, that's what we need to talk about" and she said "Well, then I have nothing to discuss right now since I'm not married any more"... I knew what she was doing is using this as a guilt trip (more psychological aggression) so that she could win this argument without having to tell me she was sorry for being oversensitive and for controlling me... Finally she's headed to bed 1 hour earlier than usual just so she can avoid our inevitable discussion; but before she closes and LOCKS the door (isolation, another psychological aggression) she said "Oh, I guess you can sleep on the couch because I only sleep in my bed with my husband. And according to Facebook I'm single". So she's using the relationship as a weapon against me aggressively. Sure, she may not be raising her voice, sure she may not be hitting me, and I understand the cops wouldn't see this as spouse abuse because "this is what women do"; but this doesn't mean that manipulation is EVER okay. What she is trying to do is manipulate me and guilt me for something that I feel I have 100% valid reason to act the way that I did. This all would have never happened if she didn't take this VIRTUAL REALITY seriously. If she took my marriage with her as serious as she takes Facebook and what her friends think, then I bet she and I would live happily ever after. I've closed my Facebook account several times during arguments like this proving I don't need it to be happy; but then I lost all my friends and had to start all over when I realized she didn't want resolution in the marriage..... My wife DOES NOT want a divorce, but I don't know a man that would put up with have the crap that I do... What's your thoughts on the matter? I have my friends, she has hers. Both of our friends don't use emails any more or their phones, they do ALL of their event planning and ALL of their communication on Facebook so getting rid of our Facebook would eliminate our social life with others (which in my opinion is just fine because the only person who matters is my wife but she can't seem to reciprocate that feeling). As far as me posting things on her wall, I have done loving stuff too and she'll ask me to take it down. I'd put "I love you" on her wall and she would reciprocate it or even "like" it. The marriage isn't that much different off Facebook either, I will do something nice for her, like rub her back or pop the zits on her face or back, and she will NEVER reciprocate the gesture. If all I had to do was NOT communicate with her, then why does she need to be my Facebook friend? Seems like dead weight and like she's only using her access to my wall as a snooping service to see if I'm keeping secrets or not. Well she h Correction to a typo she WOULDN'T reciprocate an "I love you" on her wall. To Booban - The reply could have been "I love you" instead of "Typical Morning" and she would have seen it as an insult. The fact I clicked the "comment" button set her off. She almost 100% denies my existence to keep a positive (fake) front with her friends. By the way, up until 2010 I've been known for being a pessimist. But since I've been to therapy in 2010 (mid 2010 at that) I've been 100% optimistic. She's the one that's construing it and bending it the wrong way. Typical morning was supposed to be a joke implying that her needing a second cup of coffee is very usual for her.

Who cares what SHE wants...do YOU want a divorce? I'm pretty sure I'd be seeing a lawyer. My partner knows how to have fun, or I wouldn't be married to him. Sounds like your wife can't even spell "fun", so she'd be history.

I went threw the same crap, you know what I did? I told her that since I can't post anything on your wall (hmmm maybe she's hiding something) then whats the sense on having a fb account? I went on and sent all of my friends my email address and deactivated my account. I don't care what she does and she can no longer watch what I do. good luck, seems like we both have control freaks to deal with.

Raven could not have said it more perfectly. I truly believe that sites such as facebook and friends reunited etc only bring trouble. Neither my husband or I bother with them as we are happy in the real world.

1. Your wife, the one you are suppose to cherish, doesn't appreciate your jokes. 2. She has politely asked you not to post your 'jokes'. You have refused. You think it's funny. You poke fun of something that hurts her feelings. She has opened herself up to you to let you know what hurts her the most yet you continue to use it against her. 3. You are being immature for refusing to grow up and stop posting your 'jokes'. Your wife is embarrassed by your immaturity on facebook for the world to see. She loves you, wants to be married to you, she just doesn't want to be embarrassed by you. 4. If you would shut the F up on facebook - a very simple thing to do, you could live happily ever after

Your wife is childish and so is the fact that you guys are fighting over this. I just don't understand what the problem is in posting on her wall. So what does she want? she just want's to be friends with you, but have nothing to do with you??? she is immature. Let her relise she is wrong.

Facebook is a home wreck.I suggest u too stay away from facebook It is a step 2wards avoiding the pending doom of your marriage.
8 :
Here's a solution to the facebook problem - both of you cancel your profiles. It's stupid anyway. Just because you block her doesn't mean that the facebook issue will be resolved. It will just turn into her complaining that she can't see your profile, accusing that you must be flirting with some woman on there, blah blah blah. Do yourselves a favor and can the stupid online game and get into couples/marriage counseling.

Ok, I'm not going to read the whole thing. I stopped where you childishly blocked her. How old are both of you? Sounds like you're in high school to me. Jeeezus, it's facebook. Get a grip and grow up.

What did you mean by "Typical morning"?. It seems that she is grumpy without coffee and in a bad moon in the morning and argue? Maybe you are negative to her very often and she now is very sensitive to your attitude towards her because there is constant friction between the two of you. If you are negative all the time and never positive, the next little thing can set anybody off. You display possible issues in your relationship to you openly and purposely embarrass her. Remember, she is your wife, not your regular net buddies who think its funny to tease each other. Maybe her anxiety for the state of her relationship to you is founded on something real. Maybe if you solve these deeper issues, she will more immune to a little ribbing. You psycho analyze her, but not your own actions? Instead of 'typical morning' maybe you should have written "I'll get your some coffee honey'.

Who cares what SHE wants...do YOU want a divorce? I'm pretty sure I'd be seeing a lawyer. My partner knows how to have fun, or I wouldn't be married to him. Sounds like your wife can't even spell "fun", so she'd be history.
3 :
I went threw the same crap, you know what I did? I told her that since I can't post anything on your wall (hmmm maybe she's hiding something) then whats the sense on having a fb account? I went on and sent all of my friends my email address and deactivated my account. I don't care what she does and she can no longer watch what I do. good luck, seems like we both have control freaks to deal with.
4 :
Raven could not have said it more perfectly. I truly believe that sites such as facebook and friends reunited etc only bring trouble. Neither my husband or I bother with them as we are happy in the real world.
5 :
1. Your wife, the one you are suppose to cherish, doesn't appreciate your jokes. 2. She has politely asked you not to post your 'jokes'. You have refused. You think it's funny. You poke fun of something that hurts her feelings. She has opened herself up to you to let you know what hurts her the most yet you continue to use it against her. 3. You are being immature for refusing to grow up and stop posting your 'jokes'. Your wife is embarrassed by your immaturity on facebook for the world to see. She loves you, wants to be married to you, she just doesn't want to be embarrassed by you. 4. If you would shut the F up on facebook - a very simple thing to do, you could live happily ever after
6 :
Your wife is childish and so is the fact that you guys are fighting over this. I just don't understand what the problem is in posting on her wall. So what does she want? she just want's to be friends with you, but have nothing to do with you??? she is immature. Let her relise she is wrong.
7 :
Facebook is a home wreck.I suggest u too stay away from facebook It is a step 2wards avoiding the pending doom of your marriage.
8 :
Here's a solution to the facebook problem - both of you cancel your profiles. It's stupid anyway. Just because you block her doesn't mean that the facebook issue will be resolved. It will just turn into her complaining that she can't see your profile, accusing that you must be flirting with some woman on there, blah blah blah. Do yourselves a favor and can the stupid online game and get into couples/marriage counseling.
9 :
Ok, I'm not going to read the whole thing. I stopped where you childishly blocked her. How old are both of you? Sounds like you're in high school to me. Jeeezus, it's facebook. Get a grip and grow up.
10 :
What did you mean by "Typical morning"?. It seems that she is grumpy without coffee and in a bad moon in the morning and argue? Maybe you are negative to her very often and she now is very sensitive to your attitude towards her because there is constant friction between the two of you. If you are negative all the time and never positive, the next little thing can set anybody off. You display possible issues in your relationship to you openly and purposely embarrass her. Remember, she is your wife, not your regular net buddies who think its funny to tease each other. Maybe her anxiety for the state of her relationship to you is founded on something real. Maybe if you solve these deeper issues, she will more immune to a little ribbing. You psycho analyze her, but not your own actions? Instead of 'typical morning' maybe you should have written "I'll get your some coffee honey'.

??help! SExual predator?
??help! SExual predator?
This HOT guy that had no mutual friends with me on facebook, but I accepted him because he was so HOT!! And at first I believed that he was real(Hi i know I'm a bit naive) until things just stopped making sense. I'm not stupid and when he told me he was a model i realized he was completely BSing ! lol Because I know that a model, and working guy(as he claims) wouldn't be on facebook 24/7!!And when I asked him wat he modeled for he was very abstract and changed the subject. And he told me he lives in new york and then he gave me his number and told me to txt him, which i didn't, but I searched th number and it turns out to be an area code from California! I'm 17 and I plan to stay completely celibate till marriage and it creeped me out when he was discussing alot of sexual things with me, and offered to send me graphic pictures. CREEPY MUCH??!! What do u think about this?

well duh almost everyone lies over teh internet. if this bugs you then just delete him. problem solved not a big deal.

delete all contact with him. please. its so simple. so just do it.
3 :
yeah so? he's a weirdo.. just delete him from your friends. you;re not the only girl he's probably stalking. he wont notice. and what can he do?
4 :
Delete him or trick him into meetingyou somewhere and have his a** kicked all over town cause thats what pervs like him deserve. I would do it for free if it was near me.
5 :
See, here's the thing. Poor spelling and grammar leads sexual predators to believe that you are some dumb chick, and will be easy to get. Take an english class. Read a book. And don't add someone you don't know on facebook because he's "HOT!" and he claims he's a model

Have I handled this situation well so far? And how should I continue?
Have I handled this situation well so far? And how should I continue?
So this is the shorter version of the long story. I have been talking to this guy John since June, so it has been four months. We never did anything sexual, we were literally just talking, getting to know each other, etc (we were long distance, so it was impossible to have sex LOL). It had been going very well, except for one minor situation where he forgot to call me when he said he would. On sunday night, an anonymous twitter account tagged me and this girl named Sarah, in a tweet. This mention led us to find out that we were talking to the same guy. Now, this guy had twitter, and back in July, 3 months ago, he tweeted me in response to a tweet of my own saying he wanted to be my boyfriend. I didn't take it seriously, but clearly, he had an interest in me. He never updated his twitter since then. So I was his top tweet for the last 3 months. So she must have had seen this within the last three months if she talks to him. Basically, she has been talking to him for 10 months. She said they do everything that a typical couple does such as spending time together, having sex, and they tell each other "I Love You". BUT-- she says that the reason they are not together is because he says "he's not ready for a relationship and doesn't want to ruin their friendship." ----My opinion? She is just his jump off; and he clearly doesn't want to commit to her. I have a ton of guy friends and from what I know that's the oldest line in the book! If he really loved her and wanted to be with her, he would. Especially after almost a whole year. She was very diplomatic about the whole thing, but in one of our messages she said "Well dont get me wrong but come on he plays football and your all the way in New York did u really think that he was goin to be talkin to one girl? NO DISRESPECT AT ALL just askin a question?" Now, I had a feeling he had been talking to girls besides me, just as I had been chatting with a few other guys. But what I find funny is that she's saying that of course hes going to talk to someone closer since I'm all the way in New York. Yet, she is in the same state as him, a 45 minute drive....so WHY is he talking to someone else? What does that say about her? I have been talking to John for 4 months, which means that we started talking while they were at 6 months. What does that tell her? She obviously wasn't fulfilling all his wants and needs in a female, so he went and looked for someone else. Another thing that I find interesting is that her facebook is set to "In a relationship" and his says "single". ... All her little friends are saying shit like I'm a side chick, and I'm a hoe, and "every dog is gone have his fleas". But EXCUSE ME, You aren't even a relationship with him in the first place! And Im not having sex with him so I'm definitely not a whore. And he calls me everyday, so I'm not "on the side." So after I discussed all of this with her, I talked to him on facebook chat, and I asked why he deleted the status about me from twitter. He did not answer me as he went idle so he probably wasn't at his computer. I put up a status on facebook that says "I don't fuck with people who can't keep it 100, It's as simple as that." The next morning, I was on facebook chat and he responded from the night before, saying "he had to delete it". I said "okay, whatever, bye." Then, He blocked me on facebook! So I texted him, asking why, and he said that there was too many people coming at him with bullshit. I guess that her and her friends went psycho on him because I ain't do shit! I've been keeping it very mature and very diplomatic. I said "so what are just never gone speak again" and he said "I'm gone speak, I'm just waiting until I find out cause it's some bullshit going on." I respected that. I didn't talk to him after that text, until about 9 last night, when I left him a voicemail. In the voicemail I said to him: "Listen, I want to let you know that I wasn't mad about the fact that you were talking to another girl, I was mad about the fact that you lied about it. I really wouldn't have been bothered by it because we were not in a relationship. I understand that you have a lot going on with school and football, so give me a call back when you're ready to talk." He did not call me back, so this morning I texted him saying "Good morning, I hope you have a better day today. Even though what you did was disrespectful I still want to try to at least work it out, cause I'm not the type to just throw someone away and I was starting to care about you." He wrote me back, saying "We will talk about that later." and i said "yea I understand." I am very prooud of myself for not chasing him, or acting hurt, or acting needy! Sooo I gue

question about long distance dating - guys answers?
question about long distance dating - guys answers?
The guy that is currently my boyfriend just moved from Tennessee back to New York to live with his Dad and his new family ( his parents are divorced) we first met when we were in 7th grade and we began to lose contact during the middle of freshmen year and didn't speak again until June 2010. He was in NY visiting September 2010 and we ended up hanging out talking about the past and both mentioned we had extreme crushes when we were younger - he never knew I liked him back. We kissed right before he left and kept in contact through facebook chat, texting, and phone calls. He finally decided to move back to NY for good & is currently here now. I know my boyfriend was a big partier back in Tennessee, huge parties tons of alcohol girls and hooking up. At the time we never really discussed exclusivity but due to the fact we kept in touch for 2 months waiting for him to return for Thanksgiving braek I knew a relationship was in the works. He mentioned a story about some girl he was once invovled with was ohdee drunk throwing herself on him trying to kiss him while he was midconversation with his friends. He said he was like pushing her off - but now that he mentioned that story I feel as if there were more of those situations. We were listening to Jonny Craig in his car recently and one verse goes "I have a queen why would settle for a fucking maid." and he said that's this song describes he's whole time away from me in Tennessee. question : Relating to my circumstancs the fact that I basically grew up with him - If you really liked a girl but knew distance was going to keep you away for a while would you hook up with other girls as long as she didn't know? I had mentioned to him that I waited for him for 3 months meaning no other guys but he really didn't say no I did absolutely nothing with any other girl.

well im currently am...well was from today...in a long distance relationship, i hadnt seen her for 2 months, but i kept faithful to her, i didnt cheat and not meaning to sound vain, i have girls asking me to jump into bed with them quite a lot, but when a guy likes a girl a lot, or even loves a girl, he wont cheat and will stay faithful :) if you're confident he really likes you, then he will have stayed faithful, in my opinion, if he rejected it once, he probably rejected it all the times he had oppertunities :) hope i helped

Long distance relationships can work but that depends on the people involved. I have seen them work out but in most cases they tend to fail. Most guys will hook up with another girl just because what you don't know won't hurt you and will deal with the consequences if or when they arise. You either trust him or not.

What should I do now?? He stopped talking to me & his b-day is coming up?
What should I do now?? He stopped talking to me & his b-day is coming up?
This random guy added me to his Facebook account about 6 months ago and started flirting with me on Facebook like he would comment on my pictures, status etc. So, we became friends and then exchanged numbers. In our conversations, we discussed about our past experience in relationship. We came to realized that we both been through same stuff . To make it long story short; he confessed to me his feelings and asked me to visit him; which I denied. (he’s in Mexico and I am in USA ) He was pretty honest about everything about his past like he told me he was into drugs and has tried to commit a suicide etc and also he helped me with my resume. Since, I told him that I would not visit him he has stopped talking to me and I tried to talk to him through emails and text message. He would reply back text message right away but that’s about it and would not continue conversation. I asked him what’s bugging him he would say “nothing†and that’s it. I emailed him three times to break the ice and get him talking but still there’s no response from his side. My question is: His birthday is coming up- Do you think I should write him an another email and call him or just ask him again about his behavior ? or totally ignore him and wait for him to come and talk to me?

Option 3, if he comes back to you, totally ignore him. Sounds like dude isn't worth your time. Start talking to guys in your own town too.
2 :
Honestly I think he just wanted get with you just write happybirthday on hi fb wall

I would just ignore him. If he really wants to be your friend and misses you, then he will eventually contact you. If your email friendship isnt what hes looking for then thats his problem. No reason to chase after the friendship.

ignore him.. how can you like someone you havent met.. i think you need to find someone in your own town... i would be too scared seeing someone i have met on the internet.. remember what happened to that model girl that got acid thrown in her face? Ignore him and move on x delete him off facebook too.. good luck
5 :
Any guy who resorts to pursuing a girl on Facebook by commenting on her pics and stuff is a perv. 99% sure. I'd delete and block him. No offense, but Mexico kind of scares me...especially after reading about the crime over there...
6 :
Well, if you dont wanna feel guilty for ignoring him then y dun u call or message him on his birthday and ask what he want from you, continue being ur friend or ending it up. But frankly speaking, the best option is that you tell him y u find him v. irritating and end up after talking to him for the last time. From his point of view, he stopped talking to you coz he might be thinking it's a waste of time if you're not thinking to visit him atleast for short time and he's not willing to come over too. Well sweety, Long-distance relationship doesnt last long unless you know each other but you guys are totally strangers for each other. Let us know, what ever your final decision is......Good Luck
