Posting blind.

1. How old are you?
2. Granted, he could have offered. I know I would have. But he assumed you had enough friends to help.
3. He's a man - we men need to be asked directly. We're not mind readers.

2 months... well, please specify, is he your boyfriend of 2 months, or have you been dating but you're not BF/GF?

LOL...no, I haven't always had someone around to ask, but I'm a big girl and I can take care of it myself if there's no helping hand But yeah, I agree. Just ask, otherwise don't complain if nobody volunteers!

yes, it is indicative of a selfish person

give him one more chance to help you with something, this time ask him calmly and clearly and directly, "Can you please help me with xyz? I would really appreciate your help." If / when he says no, you have your answer. He is a total loser. Cut your losses.

it took me longer to learn this, one guy I was dating didn't help me move, then I asked him about helping me move another time (3 hours, one small cross-town trip, piece of cake), he said flat out no, then I was hospitalized and asked him to come see me, he said no again, by then it was really clear that he was a "fair weather" sleazeball, and I stopped seeing him.

give the guy one chance to redeem himself, and you will have your answer whether he is worth seeing again

Hi Mercury Cougar,

I might even volunteer. I am a perfect gentlemen after all. I would even let you go up the stairs first so I could look at your *ss.

Absolutely it does. If you can't say it, don't do it. Open and honest all the way.

Sounds like the kind of guy who has the woman do everything (cook, clean, pay the bills, etc, etc.). He's not worth it. That's normally one of the signs that this guy will make you do everything by yourself if you stay with him....UH-UH!! That would not work for me...Bye-Bye, see ya....

What are you nuts? or 15?

Hi Jays1983,

I guess I solved that problem by understanding body language. Since I was not one to just jump in the sack, I knew her well enough by then.

Fair enough. There's got to be some benefits to the job after all.

While you're at it, you can pull the tail too

I used to do this to the cows. Some would get violent with the horns.
