Great Online Bargain Shopping

Unlucky In Love asked:


Me and my girlfriend have told each other what we want for Christmas. She wants an iPod touch and I want a portable GPS system for my car. They both are running about $200. Ok, I’m the type to shop around for the best deal or bargain where as my girl buys the first thing she sees because she hates looking. I compare prices where as she’ll pay full price for stuff. She’ll even order things online and pay for rush shipping when the very same item is 15 minutes away at the local store.

Ok, this morning I was looking online and found a much higher priced GPS system on sale at a local store for $198. The Garmin Nuvi 750. On most websites this item is running around $400. If I tell my girl that she can get this same item for our price range she’s the type that will look at it and say, “you’re getting a $400 item for $200 where as I’m only getting a $200 for $200.” She’s gonna want another gift to compensate for what I’ve asked for.

Is this fair that she’s this way? Neither of us will be out any extra money but my gift will be of a much greater value than hers.

She’s not gonna be happy.

She’s gonna feel jipped and I’ll hear about it for the next 6 months how I got a more expensive gift than she did.

I <3 you asked:


Ok I am 20 and my bf is 19. I asked a question regarding this earlirer and got good answers, however I left out some details.

My boyfriend was 17 at the time when he talked to an underage female in a chat room and received pictures. I believe the girl was 15 yrs old.

Today was his trial and he had either 2 choices. Accept a plea bargain with 10 yrs. as a registered *** offender with counseling and probation OR the possibility of going 2 court again and facing 5-10 yrs. in prison.

I am really worried about all of this, and I really don’t know what decision I should make about him.

Him and the girl online did not have *** it was just an exchange of pics. (which is still morally wrong).

Do you think I should leave me boyfriend?

Hey I need a second opinion, this is gonna be a doozy but I really need to get this off my chest

I am going into my second year of university this fall. I have never been in a relationship before so I’m not quite sure if I’m getting upset when there’s no need to be.
I have been hooking up with a guy for 8 months now, I lost my virginity to him, and since we started hooking up, he’s been the only one.
In the beginning (Nov) we both made it clear that we did not want to be in a relationship at that point. We never talked about being an “exclusive hook up”.
Months go by, by January, my feelings had changed for him I wanted him to be mine. I now realize that even though we were having sex, we really didn’t know anything about each other. He tells me he wants to be able to hook up with other girls still. I had it in my head that he wasn’t hooking up with anyone else… but we had never talked about it so I let it slide… and we continued to be together, but now I was trying to find someone better for me.
In February, we hang out outside of the bedroom for the first time with a couple of other friends. I guess hanging out with me “for real” really opened his eyes to who exactly he was sleeping with because he began to ask me if I’d want to go out to dinner or see a movie sometime. We don’t do anything for Valentine’s Day but he asks me a couple of days later to have a “belated Valentine’s” with him; I say I’d love to. Other drama is going on at the same time (I hear rumors about things he’s said) and I end up furiously confronting him, angrily asking why he suddenly started to want to take me out, telling him how confused I was because he hadn’t wanted to date before and now what? He wants to take me out but not call me his girlfriend? I tell him I don’t want to see him outside of his bedroom, there will be absolutely no going on dates. He tries to bargain with me, in order to take me out but I refuse to budge. I start to try to distance my heart from this guy… our mutual friend, “Nic”, has been in love with me “since forever” and would treat me so well… not like an afterthought like this guy often does.
Things are working until the end of the school year, we’re very comfortable (in a very good way ;D) around each other and still want each other just as badly was when we first met. We come to the understanding that he hasn’t been hooking up with other girls for awhile by way of a funny little accident. He convinces me to go on a date (my first date EVER!) right before I leave for home and it was so fun! But I secretly decide to go for Nic come next school year…
The entire time we’ve been hooking up, he’s always had communication problems (disappearing for weeks). It pisses me off to NO END. But I can’t take it personally, he does this to even his best and oldest friends. In the beginning, he told me he and his first love (”it was love at first sight,” he told me) had broken up a few months ago after a 5 month relationship and so I feel like he knows how to treat a woman right. But his head is in the clouds, he is so unaware of how he effects others… he indiscriminately forgets to reply for weeks at a time to messages that require a lot of thought. And now we’re thousands of miles apart; 12 time zones apart actually. And it makes me feel insecure when I put my heart into writing him something and not receive a reply. I also seem to have become his little dumping ground for everything he’s upset about (he is trying to improve the situations of female *** workers and trying to prevent their children from roaming the streets) and while I understand that that is a discouraging and depressing field, I’m getting sick of putting a bandaid on every little cut and being “strong” for the both of us.
Frankly, I’m lonely and feel like I’m standing alone right now. Maybe it’s because I’m not doing too much but studying this summer and am very isolated in my hometown… maybe I’m putting too much weight on his replies because I have no other real social interaction… I get so angry at him but then I remember those times he’s done really romantic things for me or embarrassingly corny but cute things like gazing at me with those “mushy eyes” or his new insistence on calling *** “making love”.
But those weeks and weeks of not hearing from him are so painful for me and I have problems of my own that I haven’t been able to talk to him about. I called him on being such a flake-y replier and he then went online and started to try to IM me but I was angry and didn’t want to talk to him then and so told him I was going to sleep (it wasn’t really an excuse, I actually was just about to go to bed…).
I long ago decided I didn’t have any sexual interest in Nic (reading between the lines: he’s too “nice” and “convenient”). Is continuing things with guy #1 the right thing? Should I go for Nic, who has waited patiently all these months; he would do anything for me… Guy1 been the only one I want this entire time and a
