Resolved Question: Is it just me or do you love how different ppl talk?

Aug 31, 2009 @ 11:45 pm by

I’m an American, and I don’t know if ppl from other countries feel this way, but I really think it’s cool how their accents sound. Take ppl from the UK, they sound so proper. The other day I did cable installation at foreign exchange students house who was from Australia and his accent was really cool. I’m fascinated with all the different places of the world and wish I could travel and see them. Do ppl from other countries feel the same way about America, or have we made ourselves look too bad to the rest of the world?

Recently, my boyfriend, whom I’ve been going out with for almost a year, hasn’t been giving me as much attention as he used to. He has a new, foreign exchange living with him and all he’s been doing the past month is hang out with him. I know, he has to bond with him and what not but is it too much to ask for him to at least call me once a day and talk for a few minutes? Before, we would talk on the phone every night before we go to bed and either spend time together at school or go to eachother’s house. Now, if I’m lucky, he’ll call me within 3 days. He also is on the football team so he’s busy with that too, but even when he doesn’t have football he won’t call me for just 10 minutes. I confronted him about the way I felt and he got all in my face about me being selfish, which made me feel worse than I was already feeling. After a long talk, he promised he’d start calling me more often. However, he hasn’t. He is still spending all his time with his exchange student and blowing me off. I feel lousy and when I do get to talk to him on the phone, I feel like I’m intruding on his fun. Am I being selfish?

Open Question: How do I help my ex-gf with her troubles?

Aug 31, 2009 @ 08:20 pm by

My ex-girlfriend and I are still good friends, she knows I still like her, but she doesn’t hate me or anything for it, she has a new boyfriend, and has been going out with him for awhile, but he’s going abroad for a year as an exchange student, its in about a week, so I’ve been not asking to hang out or anything because I know she’ll want to spend time with him, but after he leaves, should I talk to her and offer help? Or would it be more helpful to let her be alone?
And I’m not trying to get us back together, I want to move on to other girls, and when she got a new bf I was like “This is perfect, now I can get over her” I’m not trying to help to get her to like me again, I’m trying to help to stay friends
