  0 1 Yeah, you sound a lot like how I was for the first 3 or 4 years of my realtionship. But I am so glad I stuck it out because the things I want now have completely changed and I've come to love and appreciate him so much for many of the things that used to drive me crazy. It sounds like you have a good thing with this guy and I hope it all works out. Good luck! virginia mason commented 6 months ago

  Can a relationship work with my best friend?

  1 1 Well, from my experience, a relationship with a non-emotional guy can work really well! I'm married to my best friend, and it used to admittedly drive me crazy that he never got worked up about anything and that he didn't seem that connected to people in general. I don't know what changed, but we've been together for ten years and I couldn't be happier. What I used to think was a missing spark I now see as lack of emotional drama. I'm in my 30s, and I've mellowed out a lot myself so I really couldn't handle being with a neurotic or otherwise super emotional guy, anyway. It can be a really great balance to have someone like that in your life. I know my husband isn't the best person to go to when I'm depressed or struggling with issues, but I have good friends for that. He doesn't need to be everything. The important things to ask might be does he show he loves or cares about you in other ways? Do you feel a romantic spark or physical spark at all? If all you feel for him is friendship, there's probably no reason to date him. But it sounds like you do love him. I think one year is a pretty short amount of time to truly feel connected to someone, anyway. virginia mason answered in Relationships 6 months ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »

  My child is suddenly afraid of men.

  1 0 I'm not a parent, but I have a lot of friends whose children went through the same phase when they were around that age. I was like that myself as a toddler. I remember crying hysterically on my mom's BINGO nights when she left me alone with my dad because I was afraid of him for no reason. He was a a big bearded man, by the way. I don't know of any cures, but it's definitely common and the kids I've known have all grown out of it within a year or two. virginia mason answered in Other Family & Kids about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  0 0 I forgot about Northhampton, THE best town in MA, pretty close to Boston. It's the home of Smith College and is the best college town I've ever been to. Tons of great thrift stores, cafes, and music venues. It's close to Amherst and is part of the five colleges area (Hampshire, U Mass, Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Amherst). virginia mason commented about 1 year ago

  What should I do for a three day stay in Boston?

  1 0 Quincy Market for lunch & shopping. Lots of food booths surrounded by boutiques. Touristy, but still great. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum was one of my favorite places, not so much for the art but because the courtyard is gorgeous and they have a delicious brunch. Newbury and Cambridge are the hip areas with lots of college students. Also, I don't know if you're driving, but the towns I like best in MA are Amherst, Stockbridge, and Salem. They're very New Englandy, have lots of thrift stores, and aren't as dirty as Boston. Also, there is a tiny town called Montague that has a place called the Bookmill. J Mascis and Thurston Moore sometimes hang out there and jam with the locals, according to my cousin who lives there. It's a pretty hippie, folksy little town. If you're into Weird stuff, pick up a book called "Weird New England." I always buy the "Weird" series books for any state I visit because they have all the hidden, bizarre places to check out. virginia mason answered in Long Distance Travel about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »

  0 0 Thank you, Sphinx! It turns out they have it on You Tube (or at least parts of it). I went back and watched some and it's still creepy in that "Another Brick in the Wall" kind of way. virginia mason commented about 1 year ago

  0 0 I know, I forgot it was Disney! And was delighted to see Kyle Richards from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills played the kid sister. Yeah, that movie was so awesome. I found it by googling "scary kids' movies from the 80s." It brought up a thread of people talking about their favorites and a couple of people mentioned this one. Now I have to find the name of that Wonderworks movie from the same time about the school kids who'd never seen the sun. That was another creepy favorite. virginia mason commented about 1 year ago

  childhood movie from 80's suspense/thriller title?

  1 0 Oh man, I know exactly what movie you're talking about and at first I thought it was "Something Wicked This Way Comes" but then I looked it up and that's not it. But it had a title kind of like that. It starred a blonde girl who kind of was like a Hayley Mills type. Damn, I remember loving that movie, too, and now it's going to drive me crazy. virginia mason answered in Film about 1 year ago Answer and comment »
