i feel a bit odd typing this out. don’t know why, but this dilemma makes me feel
like a high school kid, (i’m 23 yrs old) but here goes…

a mutual friend in my school recently introduced me to her guy friend in my
grad program, whom i’ve never seen before, which is odd since i’m in a small
program. this guy and i met up together (as friends) and we went out for
drinks. we both started out great, very talkative and all, but eventually, we
found pauses in our conversation and there would be moments of silence. i felt
like we mostly avoided eye contact and looked away when this would happen. it
felt a bit awkward for me, and i’m sure it was the same for him. i could feel a
slight nervousness in him, and this made me feel anxious too. i didn’t find too
many common interests either. he invited me to an political organization he’s
involved in, and even though i’m pretty interested, i refused due to a lack of
time.

i went out with the intention of being friends with him. however, even though
this wasn’t a perfect outting, i feel an attraction to him. i don’t want to end
up just “being friends” with him.

i would like to initiate another meeting with him and call him up. but for some
reason, i’m just afraid he might bring up the “sorry i’m busy” excuse.

I’ve never traveled before in my life, and now I have to travel to a conference
across the country ALONE. I am so shit-a-brick scared. I’ll be gone for 5 days.
What in the heck am I supposed to do? I thought about pulling out of the
conference, but I already spent a good $800 on airfare and other things. This
is freaking ridiculous.

I’m really worried about one of my girlfriends. She’s gone to another state to
visit some guy she met online, for an entire WEEK.

She hasn’t met him before, and they’ve been talking on the phone/online/webcam
for a few weeks only. She’s quite smitten by him already.

Me and a few of her other friends have agreed to message/call her everyday to
check up on her. We have secret code words to use and all that. It’s not the
online aspect of it (I met my boyfriend online), I just have a really bad
feeling about it. And I haven’t heard from her since this morning, so now I’m
worried.

I’m falling for my former professor. I always thought she felt the same. If
only I knew.

Butthead,Every Night I look up high and I watch the Sky looking at the Stars and
the Moon because they make me think of you. Every Storm I stand outside and
watch while I am imagining you are here with me,though you are not with me now,
I am still wishing and hoping one day WE can watch the Storm’s and The Sky
together again. Until We Will Meet Again , I Love You. Your Beavis

So shy am I that I fear answering this lady from human resources’ phone call.
Me thinks she wants me to come in for a job interview, but because I have this
overwhelming fear of embarrassment and failure I cannot even return her call.
I am scared to go for an interview also because I don’t know what to wear for
an admin job. I’ve never told anyone before but I am terribly shy when it
comes to job interviews and having to deal of human resources. I don’t know
where the fear stems from. Can someone help me? I am screaming for relief
from all of this madness on the inside, but no one seems to hear me on the
outside.

WOW! I forgot just how HOT the math prof I have really is! YEAH BABY! I’m SO
glad I was able to take his class this semester!

Just wondering do males dream about females as much as females dream about their
male object of affection…

ugh i like this guy and i just want to get over him but it is easier said than
done… i haven’t liked anyone like this in a long time, which is what is so
upsetting but it is just a case of bad timing, we are in college and our lives
will be going in different directions very shortly (not to mention the fact
that we are already at different schools very far apart). it is just so hard to
get over someone when there is no closure, especially because i keep thinking
about the time we spent together and the next time i will see him (which will
most likely be at least a month or more from now). i know this isn’t healthy
and i should just get out there and stop thinking about him, but then i get
lonely at home or night time comes and i lay in bed just thinking about him or
how amazing it feels when he holds me. how do i stop?!

Our company is doing massive layoffs - all affected to be informed this coming
week. Given my position, I’ve know for the past month and a half the people on
the chopping block, including a woman I’m fairly close to. She has had NO idea
and I have felt incredibly guilty, like I should give her a heads up… but if
I did, I would get fired on the spot. I wish I had never seen that list of
people… it was really unfair for a certain someone to show it to me.
