I have chronic muscular and joint pain. It comes and goes... I need to know some good natural remedies for chronic pain. Thanks in advance.

...he got really weird. Rude, even. This guy is my FRIEND, and the question was innocent. I sometimes get tight abdominal muscles. He used to work at a massage place, and i asked him if getting ab massages is a thing. His reaction? He snapped his head to the left, said, "No. I mean, I got one once but it was ******* weird." Then didn't look at me, and left five minutes later, didn't even say goodbye. We had been having a wonderful night out with a group of friends... I don't like this guy. He's my god buddy, and he has a girlfriend. It's like I triggered some sort of scorn, or made him extremely uncomfortable. Why would this question make him act so skittish and rude?

I need help understanding my friend, whose is lack of reciprocation is starting to bug me out. We hang out at least once a week, usually in a group setting. We chat in person, get along great, and I really enjoy having him around. He even copies what I say, and tells other people how "cool" I am. He always gives me the best hugs, and tries to get me to laugh... He acts like he wants to be my friend.

Once every couple of months, I will send him an email or a text or say "hey, i was just thinking about you, how are ya???" Whereas everyone else I know usually responds to such emails or texts, this dude NEVER responds. It usually doesn't phase me, but this last time I sort of started to think about it and how I feel a little offended...

Basically, HE IS NICE IN PERSON, BUT UTTERLY IGNORES MY TEXTS.

Is this normal for some people? I have seen him text someone before... Is this person trying to tell me to go away? What? The? Hell?

Why would a guy friend be super nice and friendly to you in person, then never ever answer your texts or acknowledge your emails (which come only once a month, or so)?

He tells everyone how "cool" I am, and even copies what I say sometimes. He is nice and always tries to get me to laugh. He doesn't avoid me in person... He seems to want to be my friend....

Have I done something wrong that he ignores me when I do text him? I have never cared until now... But I think I am finally feeling a little offended. Like, he never ever ever answers. WTF is that about, friends?

Someone that I really respect and trust tells me that once he saw a full apparition ghost. I'm interested in what others think about this phenomena. Stories, opinions, plagiarized textbook info... Just want to see what you guys have to say.

...pull you aside to hug/kiss you, then jerk out of the hug/kiss like you were a hot stovetop???

I like a guy. I'm pretty sure he likes me too. (He stares, he gets all nervous around me, finds excuses to touch me, and so onetc.) He has a girlfriend, and I don't push it... I don't even flirt with him.

HOWEVER. The few times I have texted him he has never once texted me back. I asked him about it, and he dodged the subject. To take away the awkwardness, I played it off like I didn't care and said a joke, and we never talked about it again.

Why has this guy ignored the few texts i have ever sent him? Am I in denial about him liking me? Give it to me true, guys, I can take it.

A guy work-friend of mine comes up to me today and cheerfully says hello. We greet eachother, and look at eachother, smiling... then he looks down, maybe a little bashful?... I think, oh, thats cute, we are kind of flirting a little... He says, "Hold on, I will be back in a sec."... Then, he runs off and proceeds to completely avoid me for the rest of the day. Avoids looking at me, avoids coming close to me. Goes out of his way to steer clear of me. I offered to help him with something, and he kind of snapped at me, then continued to ignore me. I was thrown by his sudden D-Bagness, he's usually a very nice person... He's never acted like that before. I swear I didn't do anything but smile at him.

Someone explain to me WTF, and thanks.

Do guys clam up and run out of the room when they get jealous?

What does it mean when your guy friend (ie, friend who happens to be male) totally stops interacting with you when he finds out you've been dating someone. He will be nice in person, but will never call, and will never answer texts... Then, when I mention the guy I am seeing to a room full of people, he RUNS out of the room... like POOF-- vanish.

Does this person have some sort of silly secret crush? Am I going to have to confront him about it?

PS... This guy has an introvert personality.

He looks at me, especially when he has just said something (you know, glances at me to see how I respond). He gets very nervous and shy around me (this borders on agitated...often he runs away from me.) But sometimes he is totally confident. He always goes through my line at the store I work at. He is super polite... with other girls he is very flirtatious, but with me he is subdued and quiet. Almost cold... He says goodnight to a group of people, but holds eye-contact with me when he says it. He occasionally finds excuses to touch me, especially my hands when he is handing me something.

BUT... He never calls me. Ever. He never texts me. Ever. He RARELY responds to my texts, so I have basically stopped. He is a major introvert (not shy, just introverted, as in he needs his alone time), and often will spend all of his time holed up in his room when ever I am over at the the house hanging out with his roommates... which I take to be a bad sign.

He has a girlfriend... that he never talks about. I met her once, and they were really strange.

Once recently I think he tried to make a move on me, when (one night) he closed his bedroom door and crawled into bed with his clothes still on, and looked at me. I left the room (he has a girlfriend!!!) Did he take this as a rejection?

I am PINING for him.

We are both sending mixed signals, but I am super shy... I want to know what he is thinking. Based on what you see here, is it possible he's into me? Why doesn't he contact me or answer my texts??? I am friends with all of his friends, so it seems natural that we should be friendish with each other, but he mostly avoids me. WHY DOES HE ACT SO WEIRD??? Why is he dating someone else? I'm starting to feel a little edgy about it... I really like him. Help me, Yahoo!?

A guy I like owns a huge astrology book, and he had a bookmark in on the page for my birthday. What are the chances that this is a coincidence?

Backstory... He had a chance with me, and blew it by choosing another girl. It was fine, though. He and I worked together (we don't anymore), so I understood. Now... things are weird. He acts so awkward around me. He sometimes seems to like me (stares, acts cocky in my presence, is super formal, and generally behaves differently when I'm around)... but there is no concrete proof of this. He doesn't call me or text me. I see him all the time, but that's because I'm friends with his roommates (and we all hang out every Friday; its tradition).

We slept together recently. It was a random act, and we decided not to make a big deal out of it. He totally initiated it, apologizing the whole time, saying things like "I just can't keep my hands off of you..." I thought, ehhh, why not! So, that happened. He was very romantic, and there was a lot of cuddling... but some guys are just cuddly.

Generally, we are just friends. I hang out with him and his roommates all the time.

But what does this astrology book thing mean? Nothing? Could he have just happened, accidentally, to put his bookmark on the day of my birthday (mind you, this is an enormous book).... What do you guys think of all this?

So, there is a guy. We used to work together, but I switched jobs about two weeks ago. I am great friends with his roommates, and I am at their house quite a lot... We hooked up about six weeks ago, but I told him I wasn't into commitment. Shortly thereafter he started dating someone else, and I could tell that he had sort of lost interest in me. SInce then, however, he has been sending mixed signals. He stares at me, and gets really nervous around me. THere is always a bit of awkwardness in the way he acts around me... Like he's really shy. Then, the other night, he got pretty drunk and was flirting with me a lot... Before he went upstairs, he looked at me critically, and said, "I think it's a good idea if I go to sleep. Yeah..." It was obvious what he was trying to say (internal conflict... he wanted me right then). BUt, he was under the influence.

My question is... does he still like me? Is he hiding his feelings, or is it just awkward because we hooked up a couple of times? I think I like him a lot, but I was way too shy to jump into a relationship with him... Am I overanalyzing this situation? DOES HE LURV ME?
