[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]It's worse in my case. I'm 17. :p[/QUOTE]


You cant get a license and borrow the vehicles?

I'm working on that right now. I got a car and a permit, I'm just not good at driving. I haven't really started driving until the past couple of months. Anyways, I don't think I'd be able to get my licemse before Sunday anyway. Maybe in the two weeks afterwards, then I can drive, and take the girl on a normal date or whatever.

Hahaha I remember learning to drive in about 20 mins so I could rock up at my old girlfriends house looking cool :p

haha, sounds like what I'm going to be attempting this weekend. I drive decent enough to get my license, I think. I've never parallel parked though.

[QUOTE=_ThisSecretNinja_]Hahaha I remember learning to drive in about 20 mins so I could rock up at my old girlfriends house looking cool :p[/QUOTE]


I learned in an old Ranger in about an hour with my Dad, and that was that.

Meh I cant paralell park...I always find a way to avoid that situation.

Don't you have to parallel park to pass the test?

Yeah you do.

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanther]Yeah you do.[/QUOTE]
Not always you have to do two out of three of:
1. Reverse around a corner.
2. Parallel park.
3. Turn in the road (3 point turn).

You're also in the UK so tests may be different over there. =\

You always have to parallel park here in good old Atlantic Canada.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]You're also in the UK so tests may be different over there. =\[/QUOTE]

What you might want to do is look up the DMV site in Kentucky and see if they tell you what's required in the driving test.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes]Don't you have to parallel park to pass the test?[/QUOTE]

You do probably. Just practice. It's not that hard.

I'll say this though, if you don't do it alot (no curbs to park at out here in the sticks) it's kind of rough.

[QUOTE=Chaindrive]What happened?

EDIT: I just went back and read your post.

Have you talked to her since she broke up with you?[/QUOTE]

I talked to her and I got a better feeling of why it happened. I think she just didn't need the relationship as much as I did :-/.

Anyways, I basically have decided that the whole "being friends" thing isn't going to work out because I don't see how I could ever see her as just a friend. It's kind of ironic that one of the things she said about breaking up now is that she still wanted us to be friends and not hate eachother like my other break ups have been.

And now I really can't say I want to just be friends with her. The only way that would work out is if we both mutually decided breaking up was best, and I definately opposed it.

Meh.

I need some help with a situation I have. My ex-girlfriend and I are good friends. I used to still have feelings for her and I told her I needed a break from being friends for a little while to figure my feelings out. She agreed and everything seemed fine.

Then, after a few days I try to talk to her and she's rude to me etc. I sign off aim because I don't want to talk to her and she calls my cell. I talk to her for a minute and she is saying i'm "trying to turn the tables" so I say bye and hang-up, so then she calls and leaves a message saying I'm not invited to this trip we were going on over the summer. I call her later that night and we work things out and I figure it's kind of blown over. I try to talk to her today and she's still mad and I didn't know about it!

So basically, I think she thought I didn't care that she was mad. But really, I care a whole lot because she's a very special person and I don't want to lose her as a friend. I think part of the reason, even if she denies it, is that I needed some time away and that I don't like her anymore. I told her that I want to be friends again now and that I was sorry and she's still mad. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just explain to her how you feel just like you did to us.

[QUOTE=EizingerIsGod]Just explain to her how you feel just like you did to us.[/QUOTE]
Do you think that will work? I feel really depressed that she's mad at me. I tried to text her and she didn't respond.

[QUOTE=smart blockhead]Do you think that will work? I feel really depressed that she's mad at me. I tried to text her and she didn't respond.[/QUOTE]

If she cares about you like you do her it should work. Just be honest with her and let her know what you're feeling. Communication is key to relationships.

You might also try asking her exactly what it is she's mad about. You [I]think[/I] you know what the problem is, but if you know for sure then you can do something about it. Or not, depending on what her problem is.

Oh, and only in the city of Wolverhampton could you attempt to parallel park and hit the kerb opposite to the one you are parking on.

Just let it go, i guess.

She'll come back crawling to you when she realises that you're not going to bother her whilst she is acting like this. i guarantee she'll still want u going on this trip, its hard for people to get over their ex when they're still good mates with them. i dont think i'll ever get over my boy now, although we had broken up for a few weeks - are now back together, and it's the ****test relationship anyone could ever endure, but still - i dont have the strength to get over him and move on.

allright, I don't think this is the right place to post this but I feel I have no one that I can talk to.

My dad has had prostate cancer for 5 or 6 years and hasn't worked since then either. He has been an alcoholic for 10 years or more. prostate cancer tends to go to the bones in the legs when it spreads. My dad has suddenly been going through a lot of pain in his legs and the doctor thinks that it has spread and he doesn't have a lot of time left til he dies. He was saying stuff to me tonight about how he wants me to walk my sister up the isle and give her away at her wedding next year.

I am so frightened and I love my dad. I don't want him to die. I am EXTREMELY scared of death and i don't know what to do.

I am 15 years old and have exams cuming up in three weeks which I will fail as my attendance in school is very low. The reason why its very low is because I am very depressed all the time and get made fun of a bit, even by the people who i hang about with. even my closest friends dont know my dad is ill. They still think my dad is a taxi driver and I lied about why I don't ever put money on my lunch card but get lunch every day. I said that my mum gave the people who do the lunches at school a cheque every month when i get free lunches because my mum and dad don't earn money and get benefits.

I can't concentrate at school and even the teachers pick on me. I think they don't think that I am a nice person and that i'm one of these 'class clowns' or whatever when I am not. On wednesday this week, I was off school because I was at my great aunts funeral (i didn't really know her much but she would send me money at christmas and at my birthday etc.). and later that day the head teacher of history phoned to say that I had to go in on thursday to put my information on the exam board front cover for an essay I did. he said that I had to go and see him before 9:00 to my mum. My mum is italian but has lived in scotland and has lived here for more than two decades. she has a scottish accent and can speak the language very well but she has trouble understanding when she is nervous etc and people are talking about terms that she doesn't know. she thought it was the school office asking why I was off and said that i will be given a letter the next day.

I was in english class and the history head came in asking if there was *my name* in here. then he asked the 'english teacher if i knew how to understand english because he said to my mum that I had to go to history before 9am and she assured him she would tell me that.'

this made everyone in the class laugh at me and make me feel really nervous and act as if I was stupid because I was find it hard to talk to teachers and other people. he then started shouting 'GET OUT NOW! YOU STUPID BOY!'. I then left and he said some more crap about how stupid I was when we walked to a room for me to fill out my details on the sheet. I had to use a lot of energy to hold back beating the **** outa this teacher. He had made a comment about not understanding english when my mum struggled to understand him and gave me the wrong information and then humiliated me in front of my class who don't really talk to me. I had done nothing wrong.

things like these are what makes me pretend i'm ill and wantto stay in my bed forever. sometimes I will have a dream that feels so real and then I will wake up finding its not and makes me feel so bad.

My dad doesn't do a lot for me to be honest, but rarely he will do the tinniest thing and it will feel so nice.

I remember when he rented '007 - Die Another Day' so we could watch it together.

I love him and i don't know what to do. I just feel so helpless and fearful of death.

something that you must accept is that everyone has to die.
Hell, it frightens the **** out of me but its got to happen one day. A way of not overcoming that fear, but to accept it - is to think differently towards the forthcoming death of your father.

Remind yourself that he won't be in pain and suffering anymore. Spend as much as you can with him now, and reminis on the good times - not the bad.

You can always repeat the grade you are in, and perhaps take time off this year to spend some quality time with your dad. Or if you let your teachers know about your home situation, they will be more than willing to give you leeway with school assignments and exams etc.

What you can do, is love your dad as much as you can and appreciate every moment you have with him.
Do not fear for his death, but support him and help him to be ready to leave this earth in peace and harmony. He won't be hurting anymore, and if you believe in heaven and angels and all that - then you'll know that he'll always be watching over you.

thank you very much. I would really like to talk to my guidence teacher but I struggle to even speak to people close to me. My mum doesn't know about all my feelings that I have and my guidence teacher would probably tell her. I struggle to talk to people 1 on 1. When a teacher has something to say to me then i mainly look at the ground.

I have never had a girlfriend, dont really want one, I prefer to be best friends with them.
Stupid idea?

[QUOTE=Spange]I have never had a girlfriend, dont really want one, I prefer to be best friends with them.
Does this make me mad?[/QUOTE]

You know what? It's almost the same with me. I just have never wanted a girlfriend, seems like too much work and I know I'm not mature enough. Either that or I just can't find anyone right for the position. Or maybe it's because the only girls that like me are ugly goths.

Maybe when I get a car.

Well there was one cute one but she moved to Long Island and became a vegetarian :rolleyes: . I'm 15 by the way.

Thats old enough, over than all the chicks stop dating at that age, well because thats when male hormones are at their most firiest.

A good start for that would be try the good ol' "maintaining eye contact with people" technique.



Hi everyone :wave: I'm not dead or anything

The girl I was going to hang out with on Sunday says she got grounded today, and can't. To be honest, I'm relieved because it was going to be awkward for me. But now I have to wait two weeks before I get another chance. I'll get my license sometime during that time, so maybe I can take her out on a real date. :cool:

Man I have to go out soon with one of my friends...the thing is she wants me but me dont want her in that sense...god this is gonna be rough :upset:

I really hope you're right. Do you think she might be upset that I don't like her even though she doesn't like me?

Why would it matter if she was upset because you didn't like her?
