Okay, so here's the deal. Me and my best friend have been friends since 2006.

My friend is the only one out of our little group of friends who has never had a boyfriend. She complains about it all the time, and yet, there are guys interested in her. She's been asked out several times, but she always seems to find something 'wrong' with them. They either give her a kind of creepy 'vibe' or she just finds some other reason not to go on a second date with them.

The other night was my 19th birthday party and we ended up out at the bars. She met a guy, they talked alot, and exchanged numbers at the end of the night. They've been texting each other alot over the last few days and agreed that they would go out together tonight for coffee, however, my friend told me she specified that she just wanted to go as friends. Her and this guy really seemed to hit it off at the bar, and the fact that he's calling and texting her (to me)  seem like valid reasons to think he would like her.

She also seems to just go after guys who are (no offence) but a bit out of her league. She never looks at a guy's personality or anything at first, it's always about looks with her, and then she's disappointed when they aren't interested in her, or when they turn out to be assholes.

Anyways, I guess what I'm asking here is how do I try to help this friend. I don't want to be too harsh and tell her that her personality and the way she acts with some people may be 'too over the top' and make her seem unaproachable. Or that she has no flirting ability what so ever.

Does anyone have any (nicer) things I could say/do/suggest to her when it comes to this problem?

Today is a horrible day.

One year ago today; the 22nd December; my friend's dad past away.
I know this is bad but I am staying away from him today; it may seem selfish but I will just make things worse...

I hope he's okay.x

( who's going to save me )

My mom is dying. I don't know what to do. She has ALS, so instead of cancer or some other disease, we all have to watch her slowly die over the course of the next 5-20 years. In May, she was fine. Over the summer, she used a walker. Now, she is permanently in a wheelchair, and her voice is slow. She is tired, weak, and full of sadness. She will just get worse and worse and worse, soon she will unable to speak. i am an only child. My dad is emotional; he cries almost everyday. My mom cries all the time too. i guess I don't handle grief like that. I don't want to tell how am i feeling to them. I go to college, so I am very far away from them for at least 9 months out of the year. I guess this is a good thing, but at the same time, I guess I don't face it very well. I feel selfish and stupid, because I am distracting myself with meaningless things to keep from facing the shit that is life. I have talked to my three or four closest friends about it, but really only one of them do I feel comfortable enough to bare my soul and cry to because I feel like she is the only one that knows the best things to say. My mom said today: "It's ruining all of our lives." There's just this sadness in the house now.  i don't know what else to do. And now that I'm home for a month for break, I can't escape it. On top of everything, I was in a car accident a month ago, and I broke my shoulder, so I can't even drive to escape it or see a therapist on my own. None of my friends understand, but I don't want to burden them anyway.  Help me. I have never felt so helpless and lost and sad. She is 60 years old. She does not deserve this. Being here makes me so fatalistic and depressed. It's just so hard to be happy now when that is always lingering in the back of my mind.  please, someone help me. Advice on how to get through this? On what to do? Techniques? Methods? This almost feels like it's worse than a parent just dying, because she will be slowly withering away. Please..someone help.

( because i knew you, i have been changed for good... )

Do you guys think, that in general, once you've found "the one" that you're still going to find other people intriguing to the point of having feelings for them, or have the thoughts of being with somebody else intriguing??
