There are a few of us who have posted on this thread who are married or otherwise in successful relationships. Then you have those who are posting who meet people on the internet and/or constantly whine about their love life (or lack thereof) on GC. Whose advice do you think she should take?

It's like Rob said about the bumperstickers, for some people, giving advice about D&R is just useless.

Would you just let it go already? Can we just stay on the subject before other members start blaming me for something you started. Geez.

Did I say you specifically? I missed that.

You didn't have to for me to know you were referring to me.

Actually, I wasn't. Thanks for playing though.

Tell her that, not me.

What's left to say on the topic? She goes as friends or she cancels. There's not many more options.

P.S. Jock16 - no one's going to take you seriously when every other word is "fuck". If you have to be vulgar to get your point across, you're not very creative, are you?

Try those six little words:

"I'm not gay, but I'll learn."

another note. nothing against you, but whenever that cheerful chick post, the subject always changes to her. self centered !@#%^^&

OMG!!! How is this my fault!! I get blamed for everything! If the wind blows wrong I get blamed for that too. Everything is cheerful's fault! My gosh give me a break! I didn't change the subject, she did!!

*sighing and massaging my temples*

FSUZeta: Tell your daughter that she should either go and make it clear that they are just friends (which will be slightly uncomfortable, but worth it) or just don't go (which will be less uncomfortable, but opens her up to him asking her out again). The choice is up to her and we know she'll do what's best for her. Be sure to let us know how it all works out. Have a great day--I hope we helped.

the question is: does anyone have a nice way to say "i like you as a friend, but i am not interested in a dating relationship with you"? she and i had a discussion about this, and neither of us could come up with a gentle, kind way to say that. i have asked several friends and none of them had an answer either. anyone?

This is a toughie...If she blurts out that it's a friends only thing, it could be that it is a friends thing, and then she would feel silly. He could turn out to be one of her best friends ever. All I can think of is that my mother always told me to be nice to these boys because you may end up sitting opposite them in that big job interview years down the road. It happened to her and her boss turned out to be a dear friend and helped her to become one of Sears first lady execs. years later..I told a guy that I was so nervous being around him that I statred to get a stomache...not so cool...His sister was pres of our sorority at the time and his uncle ended up being one of my professors later on in a very hard course...dang...When he whipped out his guitar and sang a song he had written for me and I had nowhere to look, I was over it. You always want the nice guy and then when you get him, it freeks you out. (I would go with being still in love with an old beau)
