Just think...If you gain this skill you will prosper and eventually help lead the poor illiterate button pushing young folks who have become like little insects tweeting away by rubbing their antenna together or letting of little digital scents like bees in a hive with out singular individual minds.. We need people in the future who can get full ideas across. instead of little electronic grunts....good luck.

Go back and re-read this thread. In by "correct answer" not the answer you or your heart is wanting, but the one that experience and "been there, done that."

So not only poor grammar, reading comprehension.

By the way, I'm responding via my smartphone. It can be done. Don't feed me any lines about short texting.
My kids used to be proud of me cos' I was an old guy who was very good at texting..It was tedious at first being a having taken typing in school...Then I got quick at it and would try my best to use full words...Then a problem arose. All keyboards on those little gadgets seem to wear out quickly..I hit the t and I will get ttttttt....and have to back track...or you hit something and there is no response what so ever- Technical failure has frustrated me..My phone is about a year old and it is wearing out all ready...But when it was knew it was fine and I never used - Wn R U cmn ovR? I did use short form just to impress the kids - once in a while..but even that became tedious...

Texting is good if you don't really want to talk to the person but you want to communicate something.. like - don't forget the toilet paper.

How can a man or woman who has had prolonged intimate relations with another person ...sit there and be friends with a person who is now having sex with someone else? Where is your dignity and your pride...Get them out of your life and find someone loyal.
Continuing to **** someone does not indicate loyalty if you are not appropriate as a couple, but stupidity. Since some people consider their significant other something more than a hole or appendage that provides orgasms, some people will indeed remain friends afterwards. It can be difficult to manage, but why must all good will be cast aside because you're no longer doing the horizontal tango with each other?

It's certainly more mature than excising someone from your life just because they didn't want to continue a sexual relationship that was no longer satisfying to them.

No wonder you don't have any friends.

so do you think I should cut my best friend out of my life and continue to move on with my boyfriend? let me make it clear we r only friends and I don't think he wants me back and,
I don't want him back.
