I met this guy almost a year ago last July on a boat dance. We hit it off and went on quite a bit of dates including an all day date of 6 hours and he made me a candle light dinner. We've kissed, cuddled, and been affectionate. Before he left for college at the end of August, he said he wanted to see where things go between us and thought we should date others for the time being. He's wanted to know about my ex's and history which he's also told me about his dating history. He says he's expressed that he wants me to trust him since I've been hurt in the past and it takes a while for him to like a girl and that I was the girl he liked. When we dated in the summer, i did most of the contacting and that's when he would ask me out. So he went off to school and we talked over the phone and skyped. He was cute and his roommates would come in while we skyped and make fun of him. I contacted him a little too much while we was at school and he let me know in an obvious message I was contacting him too much (by the way, this guy has Traumatic Brain Injury, which means his common sense is a bit impaired of what's appropriate and what's not). So I gave him a breather for a month and then sent a letter at christmas time when he was home for the holidays apolozing for my actions along with a christmas gift that ties back to our dating history. He texted me and told me he loved it and we chatted back and forth during that time. We texted back and forth until one time that I overdid a little again. He went back to school and about 3 weeks later, this guy "liked" my old status that I had on my Facebook page 3 weeks prior, so something you cannot see easily on the newsfeed, showing that this guy looked on my Facebook page.
I wanted to meet up with him again by asking him to go to a pro soccer game with me. I sent a soccer ball that reads "it would be a kick if we went to a pro soccer game together.....Are you game?" and then signed my name. The next day after I sent the ball, he called me and said he got the ball in the mail. He said he'd love to go and to give him a call when I come back in town (I had went out of town cause of my grandmother's funeral) so we can plan on when to go to a game.

Question: Do you think he still has interest for me?

Question: In your opinion, where do you think he'd stand in this? Would he accept the invite?

Ok I have 2 children of my own from a previous relationship. They are 11 and 9. My fiance' has three children from a previous relationship. They are 15, 11, and 4. They moved to Tennessee with their mother right before Thanksgiving. We don't get to see them very much and they called us the other night and said that they wanted to come stay with us for Christmas. That is all fine because I love his children and he loves mine. We had already gotten them some things for Christmas, we thought that we would have to go to Tennessee to see them for Christmas. Well now my fiance' is mad because I don't want to go and buy any thing else for his kids but I am still getting a few things for my kids, so there for my kids will be getting more than his kids. Now mind you he has not went with me to do any of the shopping and I have done all the shopping for my kids and his. And I got his kids some pretty expensive items, for example a PSP, XBOX 360, IPOD TOUCH, not to mention all the things I got for the baby. I feel that his kids will get enough for Christmas with what we get them and then what they get for Christmas from their mother. My kids only have me to buy for them, I get no help from their father, and their grandmother passed away last year at this time. I just want to give them the best Christmas and I told him that it don't matter the amount of gifts that each child gets it is the love and time that we get to spend together. So my question is am I wrong for buying my children more than his??
Ok, since some of you seem to think that I am spending more for my kids let me point this out. His son wanted a XBOX 360, and an IPOD Touch - ok that was over 0, not to mention the game chair and the guitar hero that I got him. His daughter wanted a PSP so that was 0, not to mention the digital camera, sewing machine, and several Bratz items. The baby got close to 0 in leap frog items and Vtech items, the talking dora doll house and dora items. So it is not like they are getting cheap gifts at all. I have only spent about 0 a piece on my kids because they did not ask for all that expensive stuff. I have taught my kids that it is not the amount of money that someone can spend on you it is the thought and the love that is put into every gift. Money does not buy love by no means!!!
Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with what I have spent for any of the kids and don't resent it either. And my children did not ask for those kind of things because they each have a game system in their rooms and each have Nintendo DS systems. My kids asked for items that were expensive and I have gotten them everything that they have asked for. I just want to get them a few more things to make it equal for all the kids money wise. And he is upset that it will give them more gifts. As one person asked why don't his kids bring my kids gifts - well that all boils down to their mother she is very hateful and has even told his kids that he does not love them and was replacing them with my kids. We have explained to them that is not the case at all and they understand to a point. I can understand him wanting his kids to have a nice Christmas but he also has to realize that it has been all of my money and time that I have been using to do something nice for his kids.

My grandmother on my mom's side has always been very hard to get along with, and although I have never outwardly really fought with her, my mother has numerous times. My grandma is controlling, patronizing, abrasive, and sometimes on the verge of verbally abusive. Strangely, as many times as she has gone through the motions of a "loving grandmother", (spoiling me with objects, money etc.) it was very rare that I actually felt loved by her. She always seemed to favor my cousins over me simply because their personality seemed to mirror hers more. She's outspoken, aggressive, and extremely blunt. She always "tells it like it is". I, on the other hand, tend to take after my dad's side. Soft spoken, polite, aloof at times, added to that I am terrified of conflict. I've always been painfully shy and have been called anti-social. I don't relate well with people and don't make friends easily or speak my mind. These qualities have always made me feel like an outcast. "Women in our family our outspoken and STRONG." They'll say this while grinning at me. "You should open up more like we do. Act like we do, open up more." I feel that the more they stress this, the farther I feel from them. They barely feel like family anymore. They're recognizable strangers. Anyhow, what I'm trying to say is I feel like I never got anything emotionally fulfilling from them. I got gifts at birthdays, presents at Christmas. I'd give up anything and everything I'd ever got to fit in with them, to change my personality to mesh with theirs, and I *have* tried. Didn't work.
Now I'd give up anything to get their hands off me. My grandmother accuses me of doing drugs often. I don't do drugs, the fucking hilarious thing, and I don't think she realizes this, is that her other oh so beloved granddaughter does. Well who would've fucking thought? Yes I am extremely bitter. I've felt like trash for such a long time. She asked me awhile ago if I was having sex (and taking drugs too, naturally hahahahaha), I lied. I said no. I didn't want her to know, and I hated the fact that she asked. It was none of her business. She found out, I don't know how, but she was pissed. She called me upset, and told me that I should have waited and that giving away my body so loosely was wrong. I don't hold that against her. What I do is the fact that she told me she doubted I knew what I was doing or even knew the person I had sex with. He's my boyfriend, we've been best friends friends for over year, and I have literally told him more than anyone in my life, and he does in return. I have never trusted anyone so deeply and fully, and coming from someone so often alone as I am, and so distrusting, that says a great deal. He is everything to me and the only reason I haven't given up on life completely. She's paying for my cellphone, which she used to make me feel guilty. I plan on telling her to stop paying for it. I don't want it, I don't need it. I am sick of her in my life.
She has forced me into a mental institution with the help of my loving parents three times, and she has called child services on my parents as revenge for a fight her and my mom got into. I feel that enough is enough. She does everything for shock value, she is rude, and I can't stand being related to her, but I can't escape either. I can't stop thinking about how easy it would be to end it and not have to do this anymore, but I can't do that to my boyfriend. I can't take this much longer.
I'm a coward, every time I try to defend myself, I can't talk, I'll just freeze up and choke on my words. Even when I do manage to, it sounds pathetic and wimpy and probably makes things worse for me because It seems like I lack any sort of pride or self-respect.

Somebody would says that there are holidays and then they end, but for me the holidays still are the magic time. In these days people feels joy because it is a time full of the calmness, harmony and love. The Christmas eve is one of the many days in the year in which families and friends can meet on the solemn supper in aim to celebrate Christmas Nativity. People have this awareness of the specialty of this day in which the whole Christian pray and gives to each other gifts. However I want tell you a story about my the best Christmas eve which had a place two years ago. Somebody would ask what was so special about it? Special for me because it was the last day when my whole family gathered together around one table. In those days were even my grandmother with us but now she’s dead. The memories of preparing the Christmas-Eve supper, decorating the Christami tree and all amazing moments at the table will stay in my head for ever.

I come from a Brady-Bunch family. My Mom married their Dad back in the 70's, and there were 9 of us "kids". We've since grown up and multiplied. I have (not including in-laws, just MY side of the original family) 21 nieces and nephews. My two children make my Mom the Grandmother of 23! And, a few of the older nieces and nephews have started having children.

My question today is: How does your family handle buying gifts for Christmas? Check after I've selected the "best answer" (will it be YOU?) to see how we manage such a crowd without going broke!

Merry Christmas to ALL!!
