Actually, the future is not set in stone. A lot depends on the path that you choose to take. Once you have had the opportunity to get to know him better you will begin to sense if you are really connecting and would want it to develop into a long term relationship.

Best wishes,

Actually, the future isn’t set in stone — a lot depends upon the path you choose to take. If you present a positive attitude, you are likely to attract someone of a positive nature. If you demonstrate a definite concern for others, that in turn will draw people with similar concerns to you. So — you play a really big part in your future!

Welcome to the forums!
Honestly, he might not really feel that he knows you yet. Is it possible to have a casual conversation with him? His feelings are likely to develop after he starts to know you and learn about what you like, etc.

Best wishes,

Welcome to the forums!
Since you feel you have made this connection, has he become more attentive to you? I sense that he really likes you and admires you. However, use caution with moving too quickly with expecting a permanent relationship. He is dealing with some past disappointments. So just take a casual attitude and don’t make him feel…[Read more]

Welcome to the forums camelia!

We hope to hear from you often!

It seems that things are essentially the same as they were the last time you posted this question. Do you both want to be in a relationship for the long term? If you both don’t have that same goal things might not seem to be stable. It is important to discuss how you both feel about things to determine if you feel you can be together for the…[Read more]

You might want to contact the organization that handles her loans and explain the situation. When you co-sign on a loan it means that you agree to make the payments in the event that she can’t do it. It is a legally binding contract. You wouldn’t want to hurt your credit at such a young age. It is surprising that she was even granted a loan…[Read more]

You might do well to rely on past experience when it comes to looking for work. If you have had some experience in a certain field that would be a plus. Your ex-husband should be providing some financial support for the kids. It really isn’t a good idea to date someone in the workplace. There is a chance that you could meet someone through…[Read more]

You don’t need to quit being her friend, but you need to remain firm about the directive you have given her about finding other living arrangements. Unless you have something in writing, you might have a difficult time getting her to repay the money that she owes you. You need to offer continuous reminders until (if) she does. As for being a…[Read more]

You will start to rebuild you confidence as soon as you start working again. You are at loose ends right now. Your kids need you so you must try to remain positive for them. When you start working and get your family into a routine, you are likely to meet new people. You really don’t need to go out of your way to meet someone new, it should…[Read more]

Welcome to the forums!

Sorry about your current circumstances — often times law suits are settled for less than the requested amount. You should get something, but don’t count on it to be a long term solution. Hopefully your husband will be able to return to some kind of work. If you continue to apply for jobs for which you qualify or could…[Read more]

I sense that you have worked hard all of your life. Also what you are experiencing right now is something that you basically didn’t have much control over. Perhaps a financial counselor could help you? This would be someone with professional insight into how certain debts could be consolidated or reduced.

Best wishes,

The time is now — if you let her know that you really want to talk to her and work things out. You will both feel so much better.

Best wishes,

I sense that your question is actually more about your relationship with your sister? You do want to reconcile your differences. There may be some changes pending in her life, but the details are not clear. You might feel much better if you make an attempt to contact her.

Best wishes,

Welcome to the forums!

Right now you are doing the very best thing by just agreeing to be friends. He obviously trusts you and cares for you, but his fear of commitment is getting in the way. So continue to be friends and he may eventually really start to miss what the two of you had together. He should come to pick up his dog, but in any…[Read more]

You could start now by calling or writing to her. Let her know that you want to put the past behind you. You will both feel much better and look forward to being together again.

Welcome to the forums tiffany,
you could start by contacting him and ask if you can both meet to discuss what went wrong in your relationship. If he is willing and adjustments can be made, that would be the first step toward a reconciliation. It would be important to try to make sure that the problems that existed before don’t resurface.

Best wishes,

This is going to be difficult, but you must continue to ask her every day what she is doing to find other living arrangements. You need to tell her that you can no longer accommodate her needs and she must be relocated by the deadline. You could suggest that you will have to take legal action if she doesn’t. This will put a damper on your…[Read more]

You might have to give her a deadline to find other living arrangements. You need to tell her that this can’t continue on an indefinite basis. You might have a problem getting her to repay the money. Does she thoroughly understand that this is a loan? You would do well not to loan her any more money. She should have family to turn to in her…[Read more]

There is a possiblity that you might meet someone in a church environment, or in a volunteer organization. You would be getting to know this person on a casual friendly like basis first. Then you might be pleasantly surprised when it will turn into something more. Just take things slow, get involved in things that you enjoy, and be happy!

Best wishes,
