Drunk Driving, Dating & Girlfriends
Random question, u are a guy, is it bad to leave your ties hanging in your closet in the knot like should they all just be hung then tied each time you wear it? Just wondering.
I am a guy, I always untie my ties. Two reasons, 1) If your ties are already knotted, then you may get creases in the tie and 2) it looks like you can't tie a tie on your own, like someone did it once, and you don't want to ruin it by undoing it b/c you'd never be able to do it again.
If a guy doesn't want to be your boyfriend right away, does that mean you won't ever want to be her boyfriend?
Wow, Great, Great Question. And I have no idea. There are 6 schools of thought, and thus, I don't think there is a set rule at all.
Is it really OK to have one or two drinks and then drive home? Does it make a difference who is in the car with you? Family? Children? Friends? Thanks!
No, it is not ok to have one or two drinks and then drive home. If you are only having one or two drinks that evening and then going home, why drink at all? It should actually be done the other way around, have one or two drinks at home, and then drive out. Then there's a purpose to your drinking, drinking to get drunk...instead of just drinking for the sake of tasting alcohol, or enhancing a meal, which I don't condone at all.
Seriously, and I never get serious, but seriously, some people might think that who you are with matters in that situation. IT DOES NOT. You're thinking to yourself, ok, I won't put my child's or sister's life in jeopardy, so I wont' do it, but if I were alone, then who cares. Well, everyone else cares. By driving alone, after a drink or two, you're still putting everyone else's lives at risk, just not your close family. But that kid crossing the street in the dark, or that old woman you didn't see when you made that turn, or that person you rear ended b/c you couldn't stop in time. Would you have driven if they were sitting next to you? Prob not, yet just b/c they aren't next to you, doesn't mean you aren't jeopardizing someone else's life. It's not that you can't drive when you're drunk, or had a drink, its that you can't react in time when you'd need to react. Once a month or so, people who drive normally have a close call, after 2 drinks, its not a close call anymore, its an accident. Those are the FACTS.
What are good picnic foods?
Sandwiches, Pretzels, Apples and apple sauce.
Can you please please please define the difference between seeing someone, dating someone, hooking up with someone, hangin out with someone, and which ones are you sleeping with the person?
Ok, this may get confusing so bear (or bare, I suck at the homonym game, Bayer?) with me. Let me add 3 other categories, for arguments sake, being "with" someone, talking to someone and doing someone.
If you are talking to someone, you might have gone on one or two dates, but aren't sleeping with them and aren't exclusive. You prob have kissed, but you prob have not slept next to each other, and prob haven't even done any "heavy petting. If you are dating someone, still no exclusivity, but you've gotten past the first date or two, and you prob have been invited upstairs. Sex may or may not have been involved, depending on the kind of person you are, but you still prob didn't stay over, but you are hoping to build some sort of connection. If you are seeing someone, you are either exclusive, or close to exclusive, and you are becoming emotionally vested, and they have met your friends. You might have slept with them, you may not have, but heavy petting has happened, and you prob spent the night. If you are hooking up with someone, you don't go on dates with them and have little or not emotions vested, however, you are more than likely sleeping with them, and you may actually be exclusive until something better comes along. If you are hanging out with someone, you are romantically friendly with them. You hang with each others friends as a couple, and might make out when drunk, but for some reason, you aren't going that far. Additionally, you may be exclusive, or maybe you're just talking to a few people until you decide to take the leap. If you are with someone, you are most likely exclusive, having sex, and prob in a relationship, whether you like it or not. Lastly, if you are doing someone, very similar to hooking up, except there can not be emotions involved, you don't stay over, you might not kiss, and there must be sex involved, probably, based on the people I've heard use that term, anal sex.
Actually, after writing this, I decided a chart might be better:
Talking, Dating, Hanging Out, Seeing, With, Hooking Up, Doing
Go On Dates? Talking, Dating, Seeing, Hanging Out.
Making out? Talking, Dating, Seeing, Hanging Out, Hooking Up, With.
Slept Over? Seeing, Hooking Up, With.
Are You Definitely Exclusive? With, Hooking Up.
Are You Definitely Seeing Other People? Talking, Dating, Doing.
Do You Have Emotions? Seeing, With, Hanging Out .
Maybe Met Your Friends? Dating.
Met your Friends? Seeing, With, Hanging Out
Met your Family? With.
No Sex? Talking, Hanging Out.
Maybe Sex? Dating, Seeing.
Sex? Hooking Up, With, Doing.
Anal Sex? Doing.
Is There Longevity? With, Hanging Out.
I forgot "going out" oh well. (Prob the same as dating)
Here is the SAT version/ask BenS question:I have heard that the ballroom at the Hudson Hotel holds 250 people, but that the calculation may be 400% off. My question is, what is the minimum and maximum capacity for the ballroom?
A) min= 62.5, max=1,000
B) min= -750, max=1,250
C) min= 0, max=1,000
D) min= 0, max=1,250
E) none of the above
I thought the implication the girl at the concierge desk trying to make was to multiply by 4, or divide by 4, not just to add 400%. Lets just say she had no clue how big the ballroom was at all, but I'd go with A.
Yes or no to me dying my hair brown?
Yea, these are my readers...

Wow, Great, Great Question. And I have no idea. There are 6 schools of thought, and thus, I don't think there is a set rule at all.
- If he just broke up with someone - This person doesn't want to be your boy, but would be in the future, but if not if you sleep with him right away, he'd be a project.
- If he's not ready for anything serious - he may become your boyfriend over time, but he's definitely dating other people during the process and avoiding the DTR* at all costs
- If he is ready and looking - Then yes, he will never be your boyfriend if he isn't right away
- If he never likes anyone - Yes, he can become your boyfriend eventually, but don't put out too fast, or you'll ruin the chase for him.
- If he likes everyone - If he likes everyone, and doesn't want to be your boyfriend, then you're prob never going to get anyone, and def not him.
- If he only get the girls who think he's their type - This guy struggles to get girls, just hang around a while, he'll come around, once he realizes he can't do any better b/c most girls just don't like him.
