I am 24 years old male. i have an achieved career in the field of 3D visual effects, profession and everything. I had a reason to live so far, whcih would be, achieving my goal in my profession and then take care of my parents by supporting them. My parents had forgotten how much poor we were, the days we were eating once a day, whcih is before i got the job and before i supported them or before I left my country. Now I am in a different country, working, but they dont care ab out me or anything, but the money i send them, I wonder if they even miss me. They call me every month around the date i send them money and thats it.

I am missing everything and being a loner. I cant beleive how lonley I am. The one girl I met and liked her, she is white. I met her in the gym, she talked, smiled, was kind, interesting, matured etc I started to like her. After a long time, I thought of telling her how I felt. But I was so nervous to approach her, but I gathered all my courages and asked her out. Now, the one girl I liked wont talk to me anymore. It is embarrasing and humiliating that she stopped talking to me for the reason I liked her very much and wanted to hang out with her, she is avoiding me in my face. I sometimes wonder what is wrong with me, I am not a bad person, I never disrespect anyone, I respect everyone for who they are…Why am I deserving this.

I am wondering what am I doing now in my life. I got everything, but I got nothing. Whom am I even living my life for? I cant get over that she rejected me. Is it because I am not white? or probably because I am Indian? she felt insulted that i wanted to go out with her, or maybe i am assuming it. I cant forget the way her face reacted when I told her how much I like her. I am very hurt.
I didnt walk upto her and tell her something like "I love you" I just asked her if she wanted to go out with me. I try to be honest about what I feel. I dont fake my emotions. I asked her if she likes to go out with me as I like her and find her interesting. I wasnt trying to get into her pants or anything…

She could have told me anything like she cant. I

In one of the replies from someone, he asked me if I smell good. I dont know why people think Indians are nasty. I am a neat freak myself, I regularly workout. I am not insecure. About the looks, I dont think I dress up like a slob. I look exactly like this guy from Hannah Montana, her dad..with the same hairstyle, bigger and younger than him, but an Indian version of him.
I was nervous to approach her because I really liked her and what if she says no. There are a lot of things about her which I found very very cute, like I can just watch her speak all day. I hvnt felt the same with many other girls.
She even said she is single last month. Anyways, I tried to talk to her again, but she pretends like I am invisible. embarrassing

what should it be? I apologize for finding you interesting and cute or for telling you Id be happy if you’d like to go out for a coffee or lunch?

Thanks a lot for the replies guys. It made me feel better.

This seems the only way to receive money for school. The majority of aid for school is so generalized, single parents, low income, working parents, race, gender, it all comes down to the income, Am I being punished for working, being single and childless? Scholarships are available, nonetheless, it’s based on income. Loans, are a joke. I’d ever take a loan to get in debt. Give me your thoughts on this.

My daughter is getting married in December of 2006. She announced the wedding 12/05 Her fiancees parents told my daughter they were going to pay for everything. When she asked them again in June they still confirmed that they were going to pay for everything.
Now my daughter asks about wedding invitations and reception information and the mother of the groom says that unfortunately they can not pay for anything because they have to remodel their kitchen for Thanksgiving. (The only reason they are remodeling their kitchen is because their older son’s in-laws are coming over for Thanksgiving Dinner and they are financially secure, a.k.a. "well-off)
So, I have not saved any money for the wedding, since I thought they would pay for it and a lot of holidays are around the corner.
So, should I, the bride’s mother (single parent, single income) pay for a wedding that is a couple of months away or should the groom "Man-up" and tell his parent’s to help pay?

My coworker is a young man. He is a Christian, a recovering alcoholic. He had a relationship that went awry, but had a baby with the ex-girlfriend. Now this "baby mama" is asking him for child support. He just started his job, and his finances are a mess, says he has no money. His car was repoed, and i think he is living with his mom. I need answers from guys facing similar battle so i can give good advice and support.

I pretty much have been staying home every weekend and most days of school holidays stuck at home looking after my autistic brother since grade 3 due to my parents long hours and changing days off.

Anyway I just realised that I havn’t brought anything for myself in…ages. My only source of income is when my grandparents, who feel sorry for me being cooped up indoors, give me something, usually for good reports (which I try not to accept, but my grandmother said it makes my grandfather happy so…eh) and Birthday/Xmas money from family (usually goes to bank for…idk happy future?).

Anyway, is there anyway I can make money despite basically being stuck indoors (or limited where to go/what to do, I sometimes take my brother out to shops). I can’t really get a part time job (nobody would hire a teen whose working days would change every single week, due to my parents days off changing). Please help, I know I might sound a little materialistic…but who doesn’t want to earn something?
