    Well, I just wanted to know before posting a question...

    Note: This is a very serious question, and a long one, too, but since I don't know any guidelines...


    More than a year ago, I met a man on Evony. We became good friends, attached at the Evony hip as it will; we're a matched pair. I fell rather hard for him but was in denial for a while, because *sigh* I was still married (bad marriage, getting divorced now, would have divorced whether I met this other guy or not). The guy is... hard to read. It took a long time, but he admitted he felt feelings for me too... but the fact that I'm married is an obvious sticking point for him (moral reasons). He's my best friend, we talk about anything and everything, even the "excrutiating minutiae of everyday life." But, he insists that he cannot tell whether he loves me or not unless he meets me first. Unfortunately, we live 1200 miles apart. We've had to put it off for a long time because of waiting for my divorce and his work schedule (he only gets 3 days off a month right now). Now we're planning a May meeting--he's taking his week vacation off and paying for the whole trip of my flying to see him, entertainment, etc. But it's still very hard for me to wait; it's obvious I care more for him than he does for me, and it's unbearable to love without a return of feeling.

    Is meeting absolutely necessary to know whether one loves another or not? Good idea or bad, meeting? Am I just being insane, flying across the country on hope?

    If it helps, he is one of those strong-and-silent type guys who is older (early forties), never-married but had his heart broken a lot of times (only one years-long relationship) and isn't exactly a looker (so he's rather negative on his ability to attract women... I think he's cute).

    Please don't laugh, I agonize over this every day.

    Hi Sentinel people,

    Today in school I got in trouble. If I get in trouble again I can't try for the Baseball team. Should I sit my ass down or keep doing what I was doing?

    You have three guesses. The first two don't count.

    Dear Whoever Knows More About Life Than I Do,

    Well, the thing is, I have had a feeling of being less-than-content as of late. Over the past few weeks, I think I have attributed this to the fact that more and more of my friends are starting to fall into relationships, and I have yet to figure out what I want. Don't worry, I already have the "who" figured out.
    The "who" is a guy that I've been friends with for a few years now. We connect on many levels, and I'd trust him with nearly anything, and I think he is the same way with me, as we have had many deep conversations about friends, family, relationships etc. Without meaning too I have started to feel a deeper connection to him than ever before, but I am worried that if I move to fast our friendship will be lost. I'd be most upset not if I got passed over, but if somehow our friendship didn't make it. And that is what is bothering me, which has been what has prevented me from doing anything further.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Kerfuffled Kangaroo

    Where I work at, I have been there for a long time now. In fact, at the end of this March, it will be three years since I got hired there. Also, for these past several months I have been pushing like crazy for a promotion, and I am so close I can taste it.

    But it's been that way for a while now, and I grow weary of waiting. I see other job opportunities where it is a lot easier to advance in pass me up as I sit on my hands and wait for the big boss to say "yes" to what I've been wanting for quite some time now.

    I'm not about to start going over his head and start brown-nosing my boss's bosses for it, nor am I going to be a toady to him. I've always been an independent and strong employee capable of making decisions affecting both myself and the people I work with (and direct to an extent), but I can't seem to make enough of an impression to make all of this work out--ever.

    What direction should I take? Should I ditch my job and go somewhere else where I can put myself into the spot I have always wanted? Or shall I plod along and hope for the best?

    Sure, earning nice wages is good...(A potential $9+ an hour is great for a 19-year-old in this part of America.)... But I'm not the sort of person who would prefer stand on the bottom of a totem pole only to get a bigger and better shovel every few months...

    Any advice on this?
