Well, there are plenty of books that girl can read.

Also, another way to look at it would be this girl is trying to elbow her way into someone else's relationship, though from what I read, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Now, I forgot most of the details, but it sounds like your girlfriend didn't consult you, or if she did, she kind of didn't care what you felt. Hopefully she'll listen if you explain to her how you feel about this.

However, I'm not sure I have a complete understanding of the situation, and I can't really say I have any personal experience in this.

If you don't understand the situation, forgot the details of the post right above yours, and have no experience, you probably shouldn't be giving advice.

I'm not sure, but I think someone might be attempting to catfish me. How do you find out if that's the case? I know there's a site where you can drag an image into the search box, and it finds how many places it's in use, but I don't know if there's one that can be used with a phone.

Granted, I haven't said anything to her about my suspicions. I could be wrong, and she could just be someone who likes to move a little fast (or is trying to hurry things up before she's too old to have kids; she says she's 31 and has no kids).

Still, it just seems off to me. Why would someone come on to me like that? So... I'm not gonna commit much, and give her plenty of rope and see what happens, unless someone has a better idea?

Might be kind of overkill to post in two threads, but Sloth and I beat the final boss with health to spare. Took a few more sanity checks than what was preferable, but hey.
Hopefully the second campaign's story is relatively...uneventful for a few chapters.

First bit, save the image and upload it to an imgagehost (tinypic, imgur, etc) and get the direct link (i.e. it ends in .jpg, .png, etc) and past the direct link into google for reverse image search.
Failing that, ask for a pic of her with shoe on head. Its odd, but surefire.

My suspicions were on the mark! Today, she (if this person is even female) asked me to send cheddar, because she's running out of foodstuffs and needs to pay the hotel, and the check she used didn't clear, or something like that.

So, I immediately blocked the number, then sent a message via Facebook saying that I knew that would happen, and that I was expecting to give her enough rope to hang herself, but she only needed a few inches.

Not even a week.

I'd stated that the reason I've been single for almost ten years is because daisies near every female who has shown an interest in me wanted something else, so someone coming on to me with the first thing they say to me is an obvious red flag.

Oh, and I unfriended "her," and haven't gotten a response.

I started a fundraiser to help cover some of the travel costs for me and Tuxedo Mask to meet up for our anniversary and in under a day my friends donated enough cheddar to cover a night at our hotel.
I'm fucking shocked, I can't believe people are this generous

How does one stop having a crush? Is there a (relatively) painless way other than waiting until it goes away/you die?

I was going to recommend something, but it would have been a very offensive way to go about it. Even by my standards. Plus, I'm worried that if I say to picture someone as a Nazi, nobody would pick up on the subtle clue that I'm not fond of Nazis.

(If you have to ask why I would hate Nazis, you must have failed at history.)

Edit: Oh, shit! I forgot to say, the only way I'd found to be effective is to just convince yourself that you don't really want to get involved with them, or that it won't work out, or something. Although, in my experience, quite often they say something shitty to me and make it MUCH easier.

I have made myself not able to have crushes by making me think low of myself, and that I'm not worth anyone else's time. Probably not the best advice, but it worked for me :/.

Find distractions. There isn't an easy way. Just rest assured that you will eventually get over it, we're made to do so. Just be patient and try not to let it get to you too much. Pretty much every one goes through this at some point.

I don't want to want to be in a relationship for that exact reason in the first place, so it's not applicable :\

Okay. Unsurprisingly I'm not prone to having strong feelings about anything so it's not like it's making my life harder but it always makes me cringe. It's been three years and it doesn't seem like it's going to go away. I figure I could just be honest and get rejected and hopefully move on but I can't imagine how I would even begin to do that and it's just not worth the bullshit.

Alright folks, I know someone who needs advice.

A family member, who is bi, told me that her husband had been talking to another bi woman, ostensibly to hook the two of them up. At least, that's what he had been telling her.

However, she happened to snoop through his phone, and because she set up his Facebook account, she knows his password. She found his conversations with this other woman (and took pictures of his phone's screen with her phone), which he later deleted.

Now, the conversations themselves would have been kind of iffy, but the fact that he later deleted them makes it more suspicious. Granted, he could have realized how it would look, and not known she had already seen them.

But then it gets more complicated. She just told me a little bit ago that she found out he had a nude picture of the suspected side girl on his found, along with a conversation with a mutual friend of ours, talking about how hot this girl is, and that she likes DP. (No, not talking about Dr. Pepper.)

What's crazy is that the two of them (the husband and wife in my family) are always bragging about their sex life, so he can't be all that bored, and the suspected mistress (who isn't even single) is actually less attractive than the wife.

So... What should I tell her? Granted, I don't think it's right to go snooping through the other person's phone and such, but it seems justified in this case.
