Looking for a romantic mini vacation in the La/tx/ark/ms/ok/ area, no more than 5 hour drive from Dallas? or new orleans for a mini vacation with significant other. We did not take our annual vacation this year for reasons beyond our control. we both have small kids & major job responsibiliteis so we cannot be gone long. We have travled often together, always big cities, major hotels, I am looking for a quiet secluded romantic spot (maybe a bed & breakfast) but only if it allows privacy & separate entrance, really would love a place that offered massages etc, but not a major, expensive spa. Anyone have any idea of a place to go, maybe horse drawn carriages, romantic bluffs or lakes, creeks etc. A valentines special at an old antibellum home. I hate to stress the massage thing, but we both want to relax & we love spas but don't want the big spa with 999 treatments etc, something low key, a room or cabin with a fireplace, hot tub on a private verand, etc. Louiaiana, arkansas, texas(north), oklahoma-near dallas, Mississippi, jackson, vicksburg, natchez. any answers appreciated
Did I make the right move? I broke up with my bf of 7 months because I still have feelings for my ex. My ex of 6 1/2 years broke up with me 7 months ago and began dating someone else. I loved my ex with all my heart and I still do love him. We've known each other since we were in 6th grade and we are are now 23. I live in New Orleans, my ex lives in TX, and the new guy I was with lives in New Orleans and works with me. There are things about my ex bf that bother my like drinking and smoking weed, but other than that he treated me fairly well and was so sweet and romantic. So, I've already forgiven my ex for leaving me and everything. He is asking me to move back to TX, but I can't for another 7 months until my braces are paid off. He's also saying he wants to marry me and move out and plan our future, something I've always wanted him to do. And I would love that, but while we were broken up I developed feelings for the new guy I was with as of last night. And although I can't see a future with him, I am drawn and attracted to him in some way. Now I am alone here until I can move back to TX, he was the only relationship I formed here and I liked spending time with him. Now that I have left him, I don't know if I did right. I mean he still wants me and would accept me back, but I don't know who I want more. I miss my bf that I was with all this time, but I miss my ex too. I mean I can't stand that I hurt him and left him. Now he's alone. We got along so well together. Part of me wants to drive over to his house and tell him I'm sorry, but no matter what I do I hurt someone. If I choose my bf of 7 months I hurt my ex of 6.5 years and vice versa. Please help, Thanks.
Road Trip from Memphis??? Going on road trip with a guy friend of mine - would like it to be romantic (just in case) but also fun (in case nothing happens) We're both in our early 30s. Looking for cool places to eat, maybe something "different" to do. Not looking for clubs or big parties - just an easy get away. Leaving early Saturday morning - returning on Sunday. Any suggestions for places, things to do, hotels - right now I'm thinking New Orleans or Atlanta.
Which guy would you choose? guy 1 - my ex boyfriend, we've known each other for six years. College sweethearts, he was my first, and he is a great lover. He's very romantic and open and expressive, and he is incredibly devoted to me. He wants nothing more than to marry me and have children with me. But he doesn't do enough with his life. He's 26, and full of promises of employment and degrees, but, in the time I've known him, he's never held a job for more than a few months, and he's never taken more than a class or two at the community college. I love the fantasy of married family life with him, but I worry that I can't trust him to follow through on education and employment if I've never seen it. Also, in general, it is a turn-off that he isn't the kind of guy to get out there in the world and make things happen. He complains so much about his mom, and yet he lives in her home year after year, allowing her to support him. He seems to be most comfortable as the victim, the longsuffering martyr, not only of his mother but of me, who keeps him waiting too long. guy 2 - I've dated him for almost 6 months. He was a coworker. He's incredibly smart, very good looking, and tons of fun. He makes a point to get out, have fun, do stuff, and if nobody will go with him, he goes by himself. He's lived on his own ever since becoming an adult, and he will pick a new city and just up and move, when the urge strikes him. He's lived all over and experienced it all. He's done a lot with himself too - he has a bachelor's degree and an impressive resume of work in the mental health field, as well as the same career goals as myself. He's been slow to let on how he feels, but I know by now that he's fallen for me and he wants to be with me. But he has issues too. Mostly addiction. The first months were tumultuous because he was sliding back into street drugs and hiding it from me, as well as drinking too much. He's trying - claiming - to clean himself up now, but it's mostly limiting his use, not stopping altogether. The substance use is the reason why he lost his job here and had to move away. He's lost his job, his credit, his car. But even with nothing to his name, he still decided to pick up and move to New Orleans and start over. I admire that - even with nothing, he'll find cash work and he'll get by somehow. Unlike guy 1 who always has an excuse why he's stuck. Guy 2 is the one who I feel "in love" with, in the infatuated, think about him all the time, sense. Guy 1 is the one who I connect with better, who I can talk to more easily. Sometimes I think they both suck. But I'm not getting over either of them anytime soon. Which would you choose?
HELP! I've got 2 free plane tickets and want to plan a vacation, tropical and inexpensive, where would you go? THIS IS A BIT LONG< READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE TIME TO HELP ME DECIDE: THANKS! First of all I don't want to sound like I am complaining here, just confused on where to go. I realize I am very lucky to have the tickets! The plane tickets are for anywhere in the U.S. plus Cancun, Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Aruba. Most of these places outside the U.S. would be too expensive though in terms of hotel and food for me right now for two people, so where else in the mainland U.S. could I visit that is somewhat near a nice beach, maybe some shells, and isn't too expensive for a hotel there and food? I only have about an extra 1,000 for a 3 day trip somewhere for the hotel and food and spending. All I want to do is spend some quality time with my husband and sit and watch the waves, drink a tropical drink at a tiki hut, swim in a huge pool and possibly take a boat out to a little island to find some shells. (Otherwise I also have free hotel rooms at any Harrah's hotel in the U.S. so I guess they have Harrah's in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New Orleans, Phoenix, and other places more inland in the U.S. That would be very cheap then since I would then have free air and hotel, but none of those places is really that tropical!) I could also choose to fly to New Orleans or Miami and try a 4 day cruise. Upside of that: fairly cheap and could see Key West AND Mexico ! And lots of food all included in the price Downside: I've never been on a cruise , sometimes there are hidden costs to consider, tipping, extra excursion, etc. and I wouldn't get into the pool with tons of people, no privacy, and could seem like I'm stuck on a boat with a bunch of drunks since I heard the 4 days cruises are "party cruises". Again see I'm totally stuck on what to do and where to go with these tickets! Anyway if I don't do the Harrah's free hotel thing or the cruise then, I was thinking possibly Pensacola, Florida since it is supposed to be cheaper and they still offer the touristy things to do there, but not sure if that might be too boring. Do you have other ideas that could work? I wouldn't mind using the free tickets to California but then the hotel prices are just too high. And Virginia Beach is supposed to be nice but I'm not sure if it is expensive to visit and I know it won't be as tropical as Florida or Cancun of course since there will doubtfully be tiki huts and tropical drinks/ not sure though? Also lots and lots of people say go to Cancun but I worry about a few things: crime to and from the hotels, crime at the hotels, crime going to dinner in the cities and I'd hate to see children begging on the beach on my vacation or stray dogs starving to death running down the beaches. If you've gone there, is that what you've encountered ever? Some previous yahoo people said that was what it was like, not fun for a vacation then. Someone recommended a place calledCancun Palace (p.s. my research shows: Le Blanc in Cancun looks amazing if you have more money than me for the trip!), someone else said Myrtle Beach, others Key West? Has anyone been to Key West lately, do you have any quiet beaches or are they all packed with crazy tourists? If I can't come up with a trip that my husband would also like, then he said I should just use one of the tickets to fly to my niece's wedding in Minneapolis and wait for the other ticket for something else ....BORING use of the 2 tickets I say, and then I might never go on the somewhat more "romantic" and "relaxing" trip with my husband. I think I'd rather just pay for the wedding ticket for myself separately.Sooooo ...... if you could go anywhere, where would you fly for a fairly inexpensive vacation with my 2 free tickets? I'm totally stumped on what to do and where to go! Thanks for any input! TRVLLADY- THANKS, my husband just said the same thing, make a list to help decide....so your advice was right on target since I am stuck. And I will look into Virginia Beach more extensively then as well!
Am I a failure when it comes to women? I am a 21 years old male who has never engaged in a serious relationship with anybody of the opposite sex. I seem to always stay in the friend zone, mostly induced by myself. I feel that I have such a low value of myself even though I have so many credentials. I am a pre-med student at a good university, great grades, eagle scout, spent a summer rebuilding houses in New Orleans, just got accepted to one of the best schools of public health in the world, yet I still feel like a nobody because I have a hard time interacting with people. I also have a hard time trusting people after having spend some years in isolation while dealing with severe OCD (which I made a near full recovery from). Last spring I met somebody though a service class that I took and we naturally hit it off. This was the first time this has ever happened to me and it was a wonderful feeling. We would go volunteer together at a local food bank once a week as part of our class, and I had a great time with her. I liked her, and looking back, it was so very apparent she liked me, but at the time, I was very nieve about relationships, and couldn’t believe that somebody actually had feelings for me. She ended up giving up on me at the end of the semester, with another guy she had been seeing. I know she never felt the same way about him as she did me; I felt like I could just tell. I never quite let her go, and ended up going though a bit of a rough patch the next school year. I moved in with some bad roommates, took too many hard classes and ended up dropping out for the semester. When I came back, I ended up getting a gay roommate, who was never there, leaving me with an empty room for the semester. I met a lot of people through classes, but nobody I really could hang out with. Point being, I got very lonely, and desperate, and when I saw her again and talked a couple of times (she got my phone number again and was going to join a committee with me), I reacted WAY TOO FAST. I started being way too nice to her, offering her basketball tickets (UNC) and ended up asking her out via facebook. I know this is not my brightest moment, but it just kind of happened, and I acted on my emotions instead of logically thinking about the situation. Is it completely over in this situation? After this kind of disaster happens, is any potential of any kind of romantic relationship with her, even later after I date other girls??? Was this really bad? One of the things I really need to work on is controlling my emotions and making rational decisions, but I sometimes I have a hard time with that (expecially after spending a whole semester with my father who is a retired PTSD victum, and is on his own emotional roller coaster). I know a lot of people say they meet somebody special, but there were SO MANY unspoken feeling between me and her, and I am afraid I will never get to talk with her again. I met so many great girls, but none where deep down to the root make you a better person. She inspired me to do thing I never thought possible, by just being around. She made me feel comfortable, and even herself told me how I reminded her of her father, and how good a thing that was. I would consider her my “first love” or the first girl I ever really liked for who they are on deep down. Like I said, she made me a better person. She helped me realize so much of who I am, how I want to be a doctor, and how I want to dedicate my life to helping people. I send her a message apologizing to her about how I was selfish in asking her out and ignoring her feelings. I even acknowledged her boyfriend and told her I was happy she found somebody. This was one of the hardest things I have ever done when dealing with a person, but I am afraid by doing so, I have cut off all romantic feeling with her forever :(. Any advice??? Am I too sensitive, or not manly enough to be in a relationship?
What to do for the wedding ceremony? my wedding is going to be at the boomtown casino in new orleans. my parents are considered VIP so we get a very good price and discount on things. they only have to pay for the food per person which will be $30 pp and about 50 people. im toping the total to be at $2,000.00 there just to be safe. money is really an issue for everyone so i want to make it as cheap, painless but still somewhat nice. i have found my wedding dress for $110, im going to have silk flowers, a friend of my dads is probably going to make our cake. now my main problem is that im going to have to have the wedding ceremony AT the casino in the same room as the reception. i feel that its going to be tacky and wont be romantic and something to look back on happily. i was wondering if someone can help describe how to decorate for a ceremony that is going to be about 15-30 min. my colors are red,black and white. there will be 5 bridesmaids,5 grooms men, we will be writing our own vows and i want a non-denominational minister. please help
A stripper wants to marry me, Should I do it? So i met her 3 weeks ago at the strip club by the local military base. The dates have been romantic, Ive taken her on a couple picnics, made her breakfast in bed, and we went to New Orleans together on a mini vacation. She has cooked my dinner a few times as well. We didn't even have sex until week 3, which BTW is amazing, Its the kind of thing that you see in porn. I don't exactly have a fat bank account and I'm pretty average looking. I'm 22 and enlisted in the military, and deploying in less than a month. She is 28 she was previously married to someone in the Air Force for 10 years, he cheated, and they divorced. She has five kids. And to my dismay she just told me that she is pregnant with number 6.. about 4 weeks. Its definitely not mine. But it happened before we met. She has never asked me for money, she bring groceries and cooks dinner. Yesterday she invited me on another picnic and she introduced me to her little ones and they are a precious bunch. She wants me to go with her to get married in the morning. I the 5 kids i think i could deal with.. but the fact that she is pregnant with someones kid right now, it kind of puts it over the top. Should i go through with it? I do love her.. but there is alot of baggage. Is it worth the risk?
How do I deal with my roommate in this situation? Both of my roommates are going to Mardi Gras this weekend, and I was going to have the apartment to myself. I had planned a great romantic weekend for my boyfriend and I. Then today, one of roommates tell me that she is going to let one of her friends stay over friday night because he needs a place to stay because the person who he was staying with left for a while or something. I'm not sure on his situation. But what I do know is that she is (1) ruining my plans and (2) in violation of her lease by letting him stay here without her. So I decided that one night can't be that bad, but when I asked her when he was leaving on Saturday she said that he is leaving on sunday when they arrive home from New Orleans. I don't really care about being friends anymore. She already gave up on that. I tried to talk this out with her like adults and she doesn't seem to understand why it is not the same thing as if she was there. I don't even know this guy, nor have I ever met him. I want to tell her that she is in violation of her lease by doing this and if she doesn't change his sleeping arrangements then I will report her to the leasing office, but I'm not sure if I should just skip that step and just tell the office. What should I do? P.S. We have separate bedrooms and bathrooms, so that's not the issue. The issue is that she is violating it for what seems to be only so that I don't have sex on the couches or anything. (Which I wasn't planning on anyways). I know I sound like a bitch, and I may be one; however, I made plans, and she didn't even ask me if he could stay over when she knew that I was going to be home "alone." I live here. I think that Mister whoever should get a h/motel. Thanks for the advice, but I'm tired of being treated like poo by both of them.
