  • What does by 2050 mean?

    For example if someone said it is predicted that bengal tigers will be extinct by 2050. Is 2050 like the latest it will happen? The earliest it will happen? Or just an approximate?

  • Why is he like this?

    So my friend and I hand out and ended up having a make out session. They ended up going too far and ended up touching me in my genital region even though I told them I was uncomfortable. Weeks later I had the bravery to confront them about. They tell me they never sexually assaulted me because I didn’t say no and that if I had said no they would have stopped. Funny story is at one point they asked if I wanted to have sexual intercourse with him. When I told him I wasn’t ready he got all angry at me and said “I don’t understand why girls take sex so seriously.” I of course needed clarity whether or not I was raped. 

    I ended up looking online at rape forums most of them said unless a girl or guy verbally says yes it can be considered sexual assault.

    I told him I wanted an apology and instead of admitting to me what he did was wrong he went and deleted me on social media. He then proceeded to block me so I couldn’t contact him. He also had the audacity to call the police saying I was harassing him. 

    Why is he doing this? Is he mentally unstable or a narcissist? I am doing my best to move on I just want some clarity or closure.

  • Why couldn't he tell me he didn't want to be friends anymore?

    One of my friends that I've known since I was 18 years old I'm 27.  Decided that they no longer wanted to be friends with me.  So they ended up deleting me on social media.  I tried texting them telling them I don't know what I did wrong.. and that it hurts me that they would cut me out of their life like that, but I guess I was never their friend to begin with.  Because I feel like you don't do that to the people you care about.  They ended up blocking me on everything so I can't communicate to them at all.  They then proceeded to call the police on me telling them that I was harassing them. So I end up getting a phone call to stop harassing my friend and that they no longer wanted to talk to me or be my friend anymore.  I don't know why they couldn't have just said it to my face instead of getting the police involved.  Can you guys give me any explanations of why he would act this way?  Some of my friends think he's got a crazy girlfriend now.

  • What's going on with my friend?

    I've been friends with this guy for nine years.  We've always gotten along for the most part besides the odd argument that any friends have. We ended up hooking up one day back in August  I of course thought it went well.  Later on he told me he wasn't interested in a relationship I told him that I understood and we agreed to remain friends.

    In November he pretty much stopped talking to me at all even when I would wish him a Merry Christmas or whatever.  On Friday he decided to delete me off Instagram without giving me a reason.  I tried messaging him through Instagram asking him. "why did you delete me? I would like to know if I did something wrong if so I'd like fix it because I truly appreciate you as a friend."  He reads my message but doesn't respond and instead blocks me.  I try calling his cellphone but he already blocked me there too.  As well as facebook and snapchat.  I of course give up after trying to contact him any possible way I could think of.  

    I know this is very clingy and unnecessary but I was in a complete panic mode, and I really didn't want to lose my friend.  I ended up writing this message to him that I will always care about him and if he's going through a hard time that he can talk to me but if he doesn't want to be my friend that I understand.  

    Then today I get a call from the police that I've been harassing him and he wants nothing to do with me.  Like why couldn't he just tell me instead of being a coward?

  • Did I Consent?

    So this has been going through my head a lot recently, and I just need clarity so I can move past it.   I had gone down to visit my crush and he decided to stay at the Air BnB I was staying at overnight.  He wanted me to cuddle him which I did and then he started kissing me in which I reciporicated and then it became a make out session.

    Further on he started rubbing my genitals through my underwear which I thought was going a bit far but it felt nice so I allowed him to keep doing it.  He then started putting his fingers inside my underwear.  In which I pushed him away.  He ended up asking me, "why not?" Now I didn't want him to get angry or leave me so I made an excuse I told him I was on my period and I felt dirty.  In which he responds with. "Guys don't care about that sort of thing." And he continued to touch me down there. He also ended up taking my underwear off after saying that he wouldn't and he started to finger me in which there was so many emotions going through my head I didn't know what to do.

    He also asked me if I would have sex with him but I shot it down twice because the first time of, "I'm not on birth control at the moment and I don't want to accidentally get pregnant." Was not a good enough of an excuse for him for me not to have sex with him.  Luckily for me he listened even though I could tell he was upset about my answer.

    So did I give him a consent like he said I did?.. I talked to him about it and he said if I had said no he would  have stopped.

  • Does a snap have to be open to get a point?

    If someone sends you a snap on snapchat do you automatically get the point or do you have to open the snap to receive the point? Also does looking at people's stories give you points?

  • What should we do?

    I’m going to Australia in March with my friend and her boyfriend we are going to be staying at my Aunt’s house. I asked my aunt if my friend, her boyfriend, and I could stay with her during that time and if not that was fine. She said that she would love to host us while we’re down there and that she’d also love to show us around.

    When I told my dad about my trip to Australia he flipped out when I told him I was inviting my friend and her boyfriend instead of just my friend and how it was rude and disrespectful of me even though I asked my aunt if we could all stay with her back in November and that we’d help pay for gas and groceries.

    My dad and stepmom both said that I should only stay at my aunt’s for 3 of the 12 days that we’re there and spend the rest of the time in a hostel and to book it in advance. I decided to message my aunt asking if there’s a time limit that she’d want to host us for that way I’d know whether or not to book a hostel. She responds with that there’s no time limit and she has a rooms for all of us at her place. She then continues to say that she took two weeks off work she can spend time with us.

    So do you think we’re fine staying at my aunt’s house the entire time or should we listen to my dad and stay at a hostel for the majority of the time?

  • What do you think would be the best Bachelor Degree to take?

    I want to go back to school but I'm having difficulty deciding which Bachelor Degree is best for me.

    My parents want me to take a Business degree or something that would give me an office job like a secretary which I have no interest in whatsoever.

    I'm interested in either taking a Bachelor Degree that would lean towards either a career in Tourism or one that involves a career around animals.

    I know in the end it's my decision to decide what I want to do but I just need help in the correct direction. Perhaps pros and cons for all three.

  • Will Supernatural still do conventions after the show is over?

    I've always wanted to go to a Supernatural convention unfortunately the day they're going to be having a convention in my city I'm going to be in a different country. I'm just curious if anyone knows if they'll be doing conventions after the show is over? Do you know any other television shows that have ended that still do conventions?

  • Was I being extremely inappropriate?

    On Saturday I messaged an old friend of mine just because I really miss our friendship. We had a falling out but I’ve tried to be nice to him even after our falling out. Anyways I told him that my dad and his fiancé are getting married on Monday, and that I would love it if he would come because my entire family would be there. I told him that there would be plenty of food, drinks, and games, and if he wanted he could bring his swim trunks and go in the hot tub. I also told him that he could sleep with my room with me and that if money was an issue that I would pay for his gas. I told him that I considered him one of my best friends and that it would make my day and make me the happiest person in the world. Especially since previously I found out that there had been a possibility that we were related (we’re not a family member of mine is one of his mom’s best friends) but he never said thanks for telling me, I know I would have.

    Anyways he responds with: Honestly all the things you just set me are extremely inappropriate and I’m trying to be nice,but it’s really not okay.

    So is what I sent him extremely inappropriate in your opinion? Do you think he should have at least thanked me in used his manners?

  • Are my parents being fair?

    Last night I was making dinner, and while I was cooking I decided I wanted to listen to some metal music. All of a sudden my dad comes home and tells me to turn it off. I tell him that I’m making dinner and that I should get to choose the music & if my family has a problem with it. I won’t make dinner. my dad responds with, “you won’t be eating here If you don’t make dinner.”

    I’m upset I& decide I’m going to play a pop song that has some explicit words, well my dad goes ballistic. I tell him that he stressed me out and that because if that dinner is ruined. He then starts freaking out and corners me against a wall I tell him to eff off he threatens to punch me, in which I kicked him in self defense. I end up leaving the house eventually I come back home.

    My dad and stepmom are in the kitchen and they say they want to talk. My stepmom goes on about how she doesn’ t tolerate violence and that it was wrong for me to kick my dad because that shows children bad things. She has a 7 year old daughter. She then tells me that she doesn’t want any songs with explicit lyrics being played. Which is understandable. She proceeds to tell me that she never wants to hear any metal song in the house ever again. I ask her why since a lot of metal songs don’t have explicit lyrics .. She responds with its angry music and it’s not healthy for little children to be listening to it, and that metal music is disrespectful.

    Do you guys think my family is being fair? . Opinions?

  • Does this seem fishy?

    I was good friends with this guy and we would always flirt . 1 day he ended up telling me that he was gay.

    This guy and I would spend hours together online , and I found out we only lived a hour away from each other, I’d always tell him we should “hang out,” but he would always have an excuse. We did meet up but it took over 2 years.

    He ends up matching with this guy from Tinder in September and within 1 hour. He decides to travel 6 hours to go visit him for a weekend. It ends with us fighting . Two month he ends up calling me. I ask him how he’s doing. He tells me that him and his boyfriend have moved in with each other.

    Recently I found out that there was this possibility that we might be related, and my dad and his fiancé are having a wedding and it would be the only chance he’d get to meet them. So I tell him, and he tells me that he isn’t related & nd that the family is his mother’s best friend.

    He then proceeds to ask me if I told my family that he was gay because he hasn’t come out of the closet yet.

    First of all why does it matter if my family knows he’s gay?

    Secondly he’s been living with his bfsince December (that’s 7 months) and his family doesn’t know he’s gay. Which means he’s been hiding his relationship about his family for that long, and he’s not allowing his bf meet his family.

    So do you think he’s actually gay? Do you think he actually has a boyfriend? Or do you think this is just all a game for him?

  • I'm not allowed to invite any of my friends to my parents wedding. (My dad and stepmom's wedding) is this fair?

    My dad and stepmom are getting married on July 1st. They’re both inviting about 25 people each. I have 3 sisters. One that’s biological and two that are step. At the moment I’m a bit miffed because my stepmom said that my one sister who is 22 is allowed to bring her boyfriend and her best friend, my other sister who is 33 is allowed to bring her baby’s daddy. Basically her and this guy hooked up on tinder and had a baby and he comes to the house twice a week, but they’re not in any sense of a relationship, and then my other sister who is only 7 gets to bring her best friend and the best friend’s entire family is coming. Yet my stepmom won’t allow me to invite anyone because my friends don’t hang out at the house enough. I’m the type of person who likes to go to the lake or go for a hike or on a road trip with my friends not stay at home all day and play card games and drink. So is this fair? Do you guys think I should bring a friend anyways without their permission? Especially since everyone at the wedding will have someone besides me.

  • The bust of my dress is too big?

    So I bough this dress online. It fits me perfectly in the waist and hip region, unfortunately it’s four inches too big in my bust. I’m guessing it’s because the dress was meant for someone with a hourglass body shape and I’m more of a pear body shape. Is it possible to shrink the bust down by four inches or should I just gift it to a friend or resell it. The tags are still attached to the dress.
