I am dating a guy who is going to school for computer programming. I bought him a gift and would like to put something creative and thoughtful in the card. I want to write 'This made me think of you' in html on the front, but I don't know exactly how to do it correctly. I would love it if someone would essentially just do it for me and I can copy it. I know I should learn it myself and it'd make it more meaningful, but I am certifiably stupid when it comes to teaching myself anything. Thank you for your help!

I am 23 and in love with my best friend. He has a girlfriend. Now, I would NEVER do anything to get in the middle of his relationship or any relationship, for that matter, so no comments about being a homewrecker or anything, please. We have been best friends for going on 7 years now. We never dated, because it was always terrible timing, but has confessed to me that he loves me and compares other women to me. I have also drunkenly professed my love to him. Now, he is in a relationship with a girl and she recently cheated on him and he told some of our friends that he is unhappy and not sure what to do. The issue: she is his first 'serious' girlfriend and he said he feels like he is 'supposed' to be with her, because they have been dating for about a year. Of course, I would love to be his girlfriend and I could really see myself marrying him, but I do want him to be happy, whatever that means. I want to make that very clear, so no one thinks I am praying for him to leave her and come running to me. That is not realistic. What I want to know, is if it is pointless for me to even have the slightest hope that someday we will be together. I know he is in this relationship, but whether he decides to end it now or not, I don't see it lasting forever. I could be wrong, but every time we hang out we are both so happy. We NEVER cross any lines and I don't meddle, but I enjoy his company so much and I know he enjoys mine. We get told we are a cute couple or "look so happy together" by strangers and we both correct the situation. Friends have told me he only has a genuine smile when I'm around, and the other night we were hanging out and someone pulled me aside and said 'that boy is in love with you. i can tell you the exact moment i saw him look at you and i knew for a fact he really is in love with you,' but I always say, 'oh no..he is with amanda.' I am doing the right thing and not saying anything or doing anything, but I am honestly in love with him. I'm coming to a point where if I thought there was really something there, I would wait it out and see what happens, but if not then I will move on and try a new life somewhere else to distract myself. I'm looking for outside opinions.

I was in the very beginning stages of hanging out with this guy who is in my large circle of friends. (not super close but he is always at the bars we go to, or wherever we end up hanging out) Anyway, it was great and seemed like it was maybe on it's way to being a relationship. But then, out of nowhere, his ex-girlfriend started coming to our parties/hang outs/etc. I have no problem with her being there. I actually get along with her really well. My issue with it is that he started leaving with her (after he had asked me to come to whatever we were doing..with him) sometimes for like 45 min at a time..then coming back. Now, I'm not an idiot. Anyone in their right mind probably knows what sort of activity takes approximately that much time. So, I started distancing myself from him in that sense. I understand that he was not committed to me; we were not in a relationship. It wasn't my place to say anything, so I didn't. And as I was distancing myself I noticed he and her doing things a lot more together. Fine. It sucks a little bit, but I'm fine with it-I'll move on. But, just this last saturday he storms out of the party we were at because I was talking to a guy. (first, ALL of my friends are guys aside from two girls) So, the other guys made me go talk to him. He started freaking out about how he thought we were supposed to be involved. (we haven't hung out or talked as anything other than friends since january) So when I brought up he and his ex-gf he denied doing anything with her-even though all of the other guys had talked about how he was and even though I saw them leave, then come back looking guilty and her all over him. I also heard the guys say that he told them two weeks ago that if his ex gave him the chance he would drop everything for her. But he still denied anything...i mean anything..going on with her. i think he is just trying to save his ***, because it all seems way too fishy. also, he has no right to jump down my throat about talking to another guy when he has not tried to talk to me in three months, right? i didn't freak out on him when he started hanging out and leaving alone with his ex. what do you guys think?

I am 22. I currently live at home while I am working/going to school. I understand that I live with mom and dad and that I need to help out around the house. I have done so for as long as I can remember. However, I feel like the kid in the family that gets walked on/taken advantage of. I'm not complaining because I am a spoiled brat, I swear. I have a great relationship with my dad and my siblings. When it comes to my mom, though, I feel like I don't do anything right. I am mostly trying to get insight and an outside opinion to make sure I'm not going insane. My mom is a very social woman and I don't want to say anything negative about her because she's my mom. I love her, I just don't understand the hostility. I am one of four kids, but I am the one who gets stuck with the big chores and paying for my siblings food/movies, etc when they are out. I don't mind doing it sometimes, but I am a student who is working to try to afford my bills when I am not at school. I can't afford to give my siblings money every week. My mom always tells me to do it, saying she will pay me back, but she never does. She calls my work almost daily and tells me to bring food home from the family and pay with my tip money (waitress) and she'll pay me back...she never does. My tips are the bulk of my pay and I work in a small town restaurant, so that money is gone almost every time I leave work. And if I say no or that I don't have enough to pay for it, she tells me I'm being a brat. I hardly ever go out because I am so busy or just too tired when I'm not working, doing homework or at school. I just got a lecture yesterday about how I need to be home more working on housework. The only reason I'm not home is because im working or at school, but when I told her that she yelled at me about how I need to adjust my priorities and think about the family more. And then she yelled at me about how I need to start saving my money because she is 'sick of footing my bills.' I know I live in their house and I appreciate it, but I am a vegetarian (the only one in the fam) and I buy my own groceries, pay for my own gas. I haven't asked them for money in over a year. She bought my older sister a car for graduation, and I didn't get anything so I have to drive one of my parents' cars to school (the only place i drive) so she said 'well, you're using my miles on my car. that adds up, too.' it's like i can't win. i just don't know how to approach her, because she tells me I am the one making her life frustrating and that I don't have a right to complain. it's to the point where i don't even say anything when she gets in these moods. I just wait for her to stop and walk away. Tonight one of our pets got sick and made a mess, and when my sister said she didn't want to clean it up it was automatically my responsibility. I am sick and was in bed and my mom got mad because I told her I didn't know if I could do it without throwing up. She told me to be more mature and responsible and told me it wasn't fair to my sister to have to do it. I just don't understand what I am doing. I haven't had an actual conversation with my mom, without getting yelled at in years. I feel like I am going crazy. I'm trying to do everything I am asked and supposed to do, while still trying to be a 22 year old going to school, having somewhat of a social life. I just don't feel like I deserve the aggression I am getting. Opinions? Suggestions? I know punctuation is terrible..I was ranting and got carried away. Thanks everyone!

I was in a store today and ended up talking with a guy that worked there. I thought he was very cute and pretty easy to talk to, but I only talked to him for about fifteen minutes. Would it be weird to ask for his number or give him mine? I feel like I'm 13 even asking this question. I'm not..I am 22, but I have never approached a man I was interested in before. :S

The deal breaker

About three months ago, my bf went out and got wasted and he ended up saying some terrible things to me. We had been dating for about nine months, and somehow it had become a relationship that was running on my efforts. My schedule was made to fit around his. When I got off work, I went to his house. He wanted me to be at his house, even if he wasn't there and if I decided I wanted to drive the 30 min back home instead he would take it personally and get upset. We always went out with his friends, who didn't treat me..or him...very well. I hated it, but I went anyway. Then the one night we went out with my friends (first time in four months I'd gone out with my friends) he told me afterward that he wasn't going to 'do that' anymore because it made him uncomfortable. He also told me he didn't like coming to my house because the drive was 'inconvenient' and 'too long.' (yet i made the drive ALL the time..) He also has a 3 yr old daughter. Now, I have no problem with that, BUT he would invite me over then once I got there tell me he had to 'run errands' and would leave me with her. I was always going to check on her, getting her food, and even running her baths, etc. AND on top of that, I would still leave sticky notes every once in awhile in his room or on his car saying something sweet. Yet, every time he would drink he would get mad because he 'didn't feel loved' and he'd most often make me cry..then tell me I was making him look stupid in public and I needed to talk to him like a mature adult. .... and there were a few occasions when we would be out and I was sick and/or too tired and wanted to leave, but offered to come back and get him when he was ready. He'd get mad and not leave with me OR let me leave alone. Now, I realize this sounds like a no brainer now, but he is trying to convince me it will change. He was only willing to change after he got drunk and told me I was a slut, he had thought about breaking up with me because he thought I had slept with a guy he knew BEFORE he and I started dating (I didnt) and he didn't trust what I was doing that night. ( I was at my grandma's house meeting my birth sister for the first time) So, once I told him I was done, he said he would change. It's been three months and he says alot of things he should be saying, but I don't know if it's just an act or if I should really give him another shot. Just confused.

He called his gf a slut. Told her he had considered breaking up with her and should have many times and when she cried told her she was being immature. This is one of many incidents like this. Why? He was drunk and says it is only because he has been hurt in the past. His gf never cheated or even thought about it. Now he is saying all of the things he should have before this happened, but is it worth it? Will it happen again?
