Laugh Quotes

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for six years. He is my best friend. We have grown into mature adults and I am now 21. Since we have been dating since we were young, we haven’t learned to grow older together, in other words, the gifts we still exchange are acceptable for high school dating, but now that we are older I would like a more serious committment. Don’t get me wrong, we laugh, we talk, we do everything together, but I just feel he doesn’t show me in the little ways most boyfriends do, that he cares about me and loves me. For example, I always pay for my dinners, movie tickets, everything I think that a man should at least sometimes pay for, I PAY FOR. it irrates me. I have talked about it with him and I have given him hints about how a girl recieves flowers at work but still, NO FLOWERS. nothing. What should I do? I want this to last but I don’t want to be 26 years old and still feel like I’m in a “Puppy love” relationship. HELP!
i think i made a couple thing unclear. I have had this conversation with him before and all the sudden, he wanted to take me out and he wanted to pay. But then things went back to the way they used to be. He has an amazing job. We both graduate next yr from college. He is a business major and works for my dad and makes like 16 an hour and works as a manager at my my moms place. So he makes money. That is not the issue. Also, I do not pay for him. Is it possible he is stingy? Maybe he doesn’t pay for things like that. I figure maybe I should just stop suggesting to go out, maybe HE SHOULD BE THE FIRST TO SAY, “HEY LETS GO OUT TONIGHT!”…then maybe he will pay. ahhh sooo confused. HELP GUYS! all your answers are excellent

“I’m beginning to see that this conversation is going nowhere father”. He looked at me for a moment. I hoped that he finally would see the situation from my point of view, but I knew already that would not be the case. I stood up leaving my unfinished breakfast behind me and left the room. The wedding was next weeks would be swarming my room the moment I woke up trying to get me ready for the wedding. Later today I would have the “pleasure” of meeting my husband to be. As many women before me I would be forced into the future I was not yet ready for. I stormed off to my room.

I don’t remember ever having fallen asleep. Prince Michael would be arriving soon. “OH how I look forward to meeting this handsome prince”, I stated sarcastically to no one in particular. But, I couldn’t help myself from wondering what he would be like, if he would care for me, and even more importantly if I could ever love him. This all seemed so bizarre. Just imagine waking up to your father announcing you were getting married! This was all too strange for me. I reached up to grab my favorite book and, as my eyes slowly drifted toward the corner of my room, my sanctuary, there he was.

I was never quick to make judgments but he was truly handsome. He was tall with skin that was not quite dark, but that glowed with the light of the stars giving him a mysterious appearance. And, even under his royal tunic, you could see his muscles, strengthened by the courageous battles he had once fought in. I studied his face, avoiding his eyes, for I dared not look into them yet. His high cheekbones complimented his youthful face. His hair was a honey brown that framed his face in such a way it left me breathless. His lips looked like they were sculpted by a master, perfectly curved with a warm red color. Then, his eyes met mine.

I was captivated. His eyes were beautiful. The outsides were gray like a stormy cloud and they faded to an overpowering green that I simply couldn’t compare with anything but emeralds. Stunningly I was aware again of his gaze. I looked at the floor trying to hide my embarrassment. “Hello?” a rich, deep voice inquired. I lifted my head praying that he did not notice how flustered I was. “Hello I’m Princess Luciana and you must be Prince Michael.” The tall handsome man chuckled and walked towards me. “Yes, I know who you are Princess. However, I am not Prince Michael. The prince is downstairs waiting for you. My name Is Jeremy, the castles watchman, and the Prince’s best friend.” Yet again I blushed, embarrassed by my miscalculation. I should have known that the Prince himself wouldn’t be sent to get me. “I’m very sorry. I should not have made assumptions.” He smiled at me. His teeth were straight and white. “It’s quite alright Princess, but you should hurry Michael is waiting for you.” Now, I would meet the Prince.

CHAPTER 2

Prince Michael and I were almost to King James’s Castle and I could see the worry in his eyes. “I don’t know if I can do this Jeremy. I’ve never met this girl before and…well I just don’t this I can do this.” He frowned and looked away from me ashamed. I wasn’t sure how to help him with this issue. There was no way out of this marriage and he knew that as well as I did. “You know that this is necessary. Trade between our two kingdoms is far too important and we’re not exactly King James’s favorites. Marrying his daughter will bring peace between us. That could change the fate of many in our kingdom because of war. Just think of the possibilities. Therefore, unless you have a better idea you have to do this.” I could tell he was already trying to formulate a plan but he never would. I had to get him on track or he wouldn’t go through with this. “Come on Michael. The castle is less than a mile away. There is no time to reconsider or to call the marriage off. I know you can do this.” He laughed “I’ll do my best. Thanks.” The sentence was completely sarcastic. I knew it was and I wasn’t convinced.

We rode in silence the rest of the time. I didn’t dare go any further with our conversation since my encouragement wasn’t working all that well. Prince Michael looked outside at the passing scenery. The kingdom was beautiful. Everything was green and thriving. Several different kinds of beautiful plants thrived here. Plants I had never even seen astounded me. One particular plant caught my eye. I recognized it from one of the many books I had read. It was called Seaholly. It was a bright blue plant with a large bulb like center that reached higher than the base. Little stubs covered the entire surface of the bulb. The base petals sprung out like long blue spikes making the plant seem almost dangerous. I continued to examine the scenery for a while but then turned my attention to Michael who was still looking out at the plants. Perhaps he was thinking rather than continuing to look at the bright flowers. From his expression I would assume it was the case. His eyes were vacant and the corners his mouth were turned down. I just hoped he could pull himself together to meet the princess. Sooner than I had expected we were at the Castle.

It was unbelievably beautiful. White stones covered the surface on the towers which were tall and narrow. The other walls were paved with large brown rocks and dark green stones that I didn’t recognize. More beautiful plants surrounded us. I could tell that one of the King’s favorites were lilacs because their presence was almost overpowering. The carriage stopped and two maids immediately opened the doors and led us up a white stone path to the entrance. We were led inside by another maid. This one was clothed better than the others. She wore a long white gown with intricate embroidery. Her hair was up is a low bun. She led us towards the main room of the castle. The halls were as stunning as the outside. Mahogany floors and crystal chandeliers made a gorgeous match with the emerald green walls. Gorgeous paintings were hung everywhere. We arrived in the main room within minutes. The walls in this room were a pale yellow and the ceiling was completely glass so that light would come in and light the room. The maid left us and King James walked in.
“Hello there. How was the trip to our palace?” Michael eyes him cautiously before replying. “It was long but enjoyable. Your kingdom is truly beautiful.” The King’s face lit up with those words. Michael had always been good at making first impressions. “I’m glad to hear it. Luciana is upstairs I send someone to get her immediately.”
“Oh there’s no need I’ll send Jeremy to get her if you’re ok with that.”
“Yes it’s ok. I’ll have Elmira take you to her quarters immediately.” The second the maids name was mentioned in came a petite woman with short red hair. She wore simple but clean clothing, a brown dress that came to her ankles and a white apron over that. She looked to be about 35 years old and had a warm friendly face. King James spoke a few words to her in some language I was not familiar with and she began walking towards the stairs. “Just follow Elmira up the stairs. She’ll take to where you need to go.” I walked over to where the pixie-like maid stood waiting patiently. She began walking up the stairs and I followed closely behind. I took once last look behind me. Michael look brave enough on the outside, smiling and being as charming as possible. However, I knew that if you were to look into his eyes the worry would still be there.

After about two flights of stairs I realized this would be a long walk and therefore I took time to examine the design of the stair way. The actual steps were a light colored wood. Perhaps it was oak. I would have asked Elmira, but it had become apparent that she didn’t speak English. The wooded stairs were steep and they spiraled upwards. There were large windows every 10 or so steps that overlooked the kingdom. The walls here were the same white stone on the outside of the castle. Simple brass sconces lined the wall opposite to the windows, but because it was daytime they weren’t lit. Finally after about 7 flights of stairs we reached a small wooden door. Elmira stood back and motioned to it. I assumed this was Princess Luciana’s room. The door was unlocked and a walked in. I suddenly remembered that I should have knocked first, but it was too late.

As embarrassed as I was for my impolite actions I tried to retain my composure and not show it. I was quite good at this. She was beautiful. Her long dark hair was pulled back into a perfect braid. Her skin looked as pale and soft as porcelain and her eyes were a gorgeous green framed by long black eyelashes. She wore a beautiful dress that complimented her striking body well. I stopped myself from examining her appearance immediately. This was my friend’s future bride! She looked up and our eyes met. She looked down in embarrassment clearly attempting to hide it. Her efforts were wasted with her pale skin tone that didn’t do well to hide her unnecessary embarrassment. “Hello?” I asked.

CHAPTER 3

The King was tall and stocky. He didn’t exactly look dangerous; however he certainly didn’t look weak. He had a square face and a short neck. His skin was a bit pink from the sun and his hair was dark brown and thinning. His brown eyes were framed with lengthy black eyelashes. He smiled but to me the little grin looked false. I couldn’t have expected more from a man only a week before he was to give his only daughter away for marriage. As would be expected we stood in silence for a few awkward moments until he decided to break the silence. “It’s truly difficult for me you know.” He looked at me with a slightly more welcoming face. “How so your majesty? Your daughter is about to be made a queen and a wife.” “Young Prince, you won’t be able to understand this until you have a daughter of your own and she is leaving you to marry and live in a distant kingdom. I won’t be able to enjoy my morning breakfast with her anymore. I won’t be able to take walks with her every day and I wont be able to protect her myself anymore.” His face was suddenly less friendly and far more threatening. “And if you don’t protect her well enough, you will pay for it.” “Don’t worry about that your majesty no harm will come to your daughter.” My ears detected the sound of distant footsteps and I prepared myself to meet my bride. The soft pattering got louder until I could see the maid, and then Jeremy, and finally Princess Luciana

It was that moment that I will forever remember, the moment my whole life changed. We were walking to the coffee shop, holding hands and telling each other about our day. I looked up, stuck my tongue out, and caught one of the white, fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky. He laughed the sweetest laugh I ever heard, and his face looked more beautiful then ever as his eyes lit up, and his smile revealed two, very cute dimples. His chestnut colored hair was speckled with snow, making him even more adorable, and even harder to look away from. He looked at me as though I was the only thing he lived for, as if I was everything he needed. I smiled at him, knowing that he was everything that I needed. He put his arms around my waist as we walked, his smile still lighting up his face. I rested my head on his shoulder, knowing that life couldn’t get any better. He started walking a little faster, got a little ahead of me, then turned around, so we were face to face. He put his hands on my cheeks, and eagerly, but sweetly, kissed me. When are lips parted, He tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, his beautiful, dark brown eyes never leaving mine, staring at me with affection. I stared back into his gorgeous eyes, and saw something else, besides affection, there. After two years together, I knew his expressions by heart, and I could tell he was nervous. I silently wondered what could possibly be making him feel this way, when all I felt right now was happiness. Interrupting my thoughts, he softly whispered my name. “Yeah?” I answered, trying to figure out what was causing the mixed emotions on his face. He slowly lowered himself to the ground, so he was on one knee, in front of me. “will you marry me?” He asked, his voice filled with as much love anyone could ever have. At first I just stared at him, stunned, not able to think. Then as I comprehended what he was saying, a big smile spread across my face, and I too got down on my knees. “Yes,” I breathed, “Of course I will.” He pulled me towards him, holding me in a tight hug. His cheek was against mine, and I could tell he was smiling. When he let go, his face fell. He told me he didn’t have a ring, but I didn’t care, I was flooded with happiness just knowing that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. We sat down against a store wall, and stayed there for almost an hour, snow falling thickly from above. A lot of people had to walk around us, which angered them, but I couldn’t care less. This was the best day of my life.

Okay, so I know this is going to be long, I like give alot of details so its better to see whats up!….here it goes…

I am almost 25 years old, my boyfriend of over 3 years in going on 27. I am now 3 months pregnant. We live together, we rent a nice home together, just bought a new car together, share bills and responsibilities, I am on his insurance plan, etc., etc, it’s almost like we are already married, but no ‘real’ proposal yet…. I wear a small gold heart ring on my ring finger…. with 7 small diamonds he gave me when he asked me to be his girlfriend 3+ years ago

We have talked about marriage before. At first, he saw marriage as a ‘trap’, an end to having any kind of fun, a ball and chain, like the theme song and eerie images that go with the theme sone on the T.V. show ‘Married With Children.’ Now, later on in our relationship, He has lightened his view and words, saying he wants to get married, but he wants to work a little more on himself and his job/money first. He says that when marries, the girl he wants would be me, (obviously). He says he is just not ready yet. I asked him, ‘What would make you feel ready? What circumstances do you feel need to feel right?’ He just said ‘Babe, I don’t know, just I’ll know when I’m ready, and it will be right. You’ll be in the kitchen washing dishes or something, and I’ll get down on my knee and say ‘you better marry me’” Of course, that little answer melted my heart, but I still can’t help myself thinking-WHEN WHEN WHEN…WHY WHY WHY…..!!!!! He’s mentioned the more I ask, and bug, the more he gets pushed further from it. So, one day I played along & said “you know, I don’t want you to think I am in love with the idea of marriage….just the ring, the special day, all that. I am in love with you. And if you’re not ready, neither am I. I am ready when you are. Besides, just because we have a kid does’nt mean we HAVE to get married. And, who knows? Maybe we you OR I are not 100 percent sure.” YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIS FACE! HE LOOKED SCARED & FREAKED! But then quickly said “yeah, ummm…we have to be sure”

I feel like I am a great catch-
I am attractive, fit, I take pride in how I look- hair done, nails done, nice clothes. I am confident, smart, educated. I have my own business- my private massage therapy/Skin Care/Health Education practice. I can take care of myself money-wise. I never ask him for help with money. I keep a sparkling house. I do all the housework-cook, clean, laundry. I even make homemade meals and pack them up for his lunch at work. I help him take care of his skin, and give him massages. I have a huge sex drive, he says more than any girl he’s ever known. He laughs when his friends talk about their girls not wanting to give them any!!

now…it seems all peachy, but we have had our bad times, and we have just gotten out of some rotten beef between one another, and he is a recovering alcoholic. We both go to counseling to make sure we are on the right path and doing positive things. I feel like things are great. I have learned to break my old habits-like calling him all the time when he’s at work, or out with his friends. getting mad when he wants to go out, etc. I can tell he is happier now then ever, and I am too.

I have been reading this book called “Why Men Marry Bitches” In it it tells you to have a ‘hands off approach’ by not getting all sprung, being on his nuts calling him, always being available, following like a little lost puppy… making him your life etc. ….Instead, be busy and make HIM want to work in YOUR life! So, I’ve been following some of this advice and boy does it work! He is showing me 110% more affection…he comes early, HE calls me when he’s out, HE makes the plans. HE tells me how he missed me and just wanted to come home….BUT STILL….NO PROPOSAL!!!!!!!

The thing is, and I have told him this…I’m not looking for a ring, a fancy wedding or anything. I actually DON’T want to get married RIGHT NOW. I want to have this baby, move into a bigger home, get things setttled for a few years, and THEN I want to marry. I just want to be engagded. I want to feel that security. I want to know that a day waits for me somewhere down the line. I HATE not knowing WHEN. I want to have a nice, long engadgement. Why does this scare him too? Everything feels like its here. All the pieces to the puzzle.

I am looking for some advice from some guys out there who took a long time to commit. What made you get down on one knee and say the magic words? Am I doing too much for him? Is that making him feel like he ‘has me already anyways?…<—is this true? Ohhhh…so many questions!!! HELP!!!

I tried getting a girl, but I gave up. I never even asked a girl out, as I have never talked to girls before and I plan to avoid them the rest of my life as they do nothing but serve as a easy target to beat up. I know I am goofy looking. (I seriously look like a dinosaur) and I can never show love. I am worried if I am in love, people will laugh at me, so I act tough and avoid girls and romance so people don’t laugh at me. I will work on Wall Street and make it big and laugh at losers who made a family and laugh while I am living in my big house driving Lambos when people are poor and starving and I will spit at them. Money and power are everything. Love is for the pathetic. I have no friends, because I am more powerful and rich than most people and I don’t need friends.

All your answers were awesome!! I can’t pick one…sorry guys..I tried!!

It’s very very very difficult to define what “like” and “love” is. Yup, maybe this is the first time i have these feelings for someone. I dun know if i love him or just like him as a nice person….

I and he took the same module in the 1st semester of my schooling in NUS . Frankly speaking, I din have any impression abt him. All things I remember during this semester are a guy with a big size red coat who always sat at the 1st left table in my tutorial group.

In the 2nd sem, coincidentally, we also took the same module and were in the same filming group. At first, i din realize that he was in my group despite that I did see the photos of my group members. However, he did and that really surprised me because I never thought that a Singaporean could recognize a Vietnamese just through a photo. You may find this doesnt make sense but I really thought it did make sense. Although S’pore is a multi-national country, a non-racial discrimination country, behind the wall, i know the discrimination always exists. The discrimination comes from many reasons such as the development of a country, the skin colour, the education and awareness level,…I myself dun have any bias against Indians however in my thoughts, seriously i dun like Indian but it doesnt mean that i hate them because it cant be denied that indians in NUS are very intelligent and have better communication skill comparing to Vietnamese. The same thing for my situation. Singapore is a rich country and Vietnam is a poor country. Singaporeans are stronger in English than Vietnameses are. Therefore, I din think that a Vietnamese would make a Singaporean notice.

My first impression on this guy was on the 8th of March. This is Women’s Day in my country. A Vietnamese guy told him about the day and he sent me a message with wishes. I was really surprised and glad. On the 1st of April, I joked with him that i loved him and he said he loved me too. We all knew that it was just a joke. I din have any special feeling towards him.

Although he had a lot of Singaporean friends, he still sat around me or beside me ( if there was a sit ) during lectures, he top up water for me, he talked to me,….He said that he wanted to ask me out after exam was over because he wanted to ask me about an interesting module that i was taking at that time and he would show me around S’pore. I just thought that he was a nice groupmate.

Exam was over and summer vacation came. We went out together several times. He never asked me about the module as he told me. He showed me around S’pore. He always tried to take photos of me. He likes badminton live competitions and told me to watch these matches on TV. He likes Harry Potter and he asked me if i liked it too. He liked pulau ubin very much and he told me that he wanted to bring me to the place. He asked me if i would live in S’pore after my graduation. He said I looked cute when I was sending a sms to my friend….And he waked up at 4:30am and travelled from the east to the west ( I stay in the west n he stay in the east ) simply to give me a ride to the airport when i went back to my country ( the airport is in the east ). Were these normal things that a friend often does or i thought too much?It was really touched.

At first, I went out with him simply because I wanted to know more about S’pore, to have a new local friend and to pracise my English ( My English is very bad ). After the date he gave me a ride to the airport, I started to have some feelings.
(When I and he were in the same filming group, he had a gf. However they broke up before the exam was over.)

When I was back to S’pore, the new semester began. This is my 3rd sem in NUS. We only met up for lunch once at the beginning of the sem. I gave him a gift from my country.

NUS studying life is very very busy. He was taking an important module ( 8MCs) this sem. I often encouraged him and so did he. I really took care for him. I gave him strawberry chocolate candy to encourage him doing his projects ( he likes strawberry n chocolate ). I asked him if he had umbrella to go back home when i saw it raining. I sent him messages to cheer him up when he was in the busiest time of his projects. I was usually the person who sent him messages. He just sent me messages sometimes even during summer vacation. is he the type of person who doesnt like sms?I din send him the msg very often because there are many many conflicting questions in my head: if my feelings for him is love? does he have any special feeling for me? should i llike him with all my heart? should i go for it?i am really scared of being hurt in love especially after my parents’divorce. I’m scared of the feeling that i have to be disappointed about something or someone. I dun dare to love him. And one more reason: he is an Singaporean. I dun think a Singaporean guy would fall for a Vietnamese girl.

My birthday is on the 12th of Nov and his is on the 15th of Nov. At this time, both of us are very busy with projects dueing soon especially him. On my birthday, he sent me a message to say happy birthday to me at 00:00am but he din mention anything abt present. Nevertheless, I wasnt sad much because the person that i have expected to give me wishes n present was my father ( Again, my dad made me disappointed. He has never remembered my birthday ). On his birthday, I sent him a message at 00:10 or something n i told him i had sth to pass him. He said he had sth to pass me too but that was not a good time to meet up since his project was dueing soon. I was fine with that.

December came, again we are in vacation. We went out 2 weeks ago really had fun together ( as far as i think ). He saw in my MSN that i wanted to go to the beach, he said we would go to the beach. When I n he were walking below the bridge near Esplanade, we saw someone did a heart shape with candles, he asked me if i wanna take a photo with it, I hesitated. He said never mind, we would do ours and take photos. We laughed. Was he kidding?

The day after, he gave me a ride to the town ( I went for a training session). We reached the town around 5:30pm and then he went to pick his brother up. That day i really wanted to go to the beach. 5:45pm I sent him a message:”It doent rain today n i really want to go to the beach. I know you need to prepare for ur interview tml and it wouldnt be nice to let you wait an hour for my training session ending but i’m not sure i will be free the following days…. Can you just leave the car to ur brother ….” . 7:30pm he replied my msg n said sorry that he just saw my msg, he was home and he left his hp in the car. I was fine with that because i knew that his house is far from the place and he needed to prepare for an internship interview on the following day.

One week later, I asked him if he would be free this Xmas. He told me that he had no plan at the time but he often celebrate Xmas with his same group of his old secondary friends and he asked me if i wanted to join them. The party was at weekend n I couldnt make it.

On Xmas Eve, I, he and another gal friend of his went out together. I know for sure that the gal n he are simply friends. She is a big gal n very friendly. They two , one person was behind me and one person was in front of me, protected me from spraying and from the crowd. I felt like being protected by parents the feeling that i have forgotten since i was 11. During the night, he usually looked at me, I knew, the gal knew, she smiled. When we went back, he and the gal stay in the east, i stay in the west thus we took mrt to two different directions. When I went up to take another mrt line, he was answering the phone. He did accompany me back after every our meetings however he din that time. He sent me a msg to sorry me 10 minute later. I said never mind n merry xmas to him. He din reply. It was 1:30am. I was really scared of going back alone at very late time like that. I knew he couldnt bring me back n left the gal alone but somehow i still feel sad.

2:30am: he asked if i reached my hostel n tell me rest early. He said it was fun to be with me on this Xmas Eve. Did he just act nicely to me as a friend? That night i could hardly sleep. i dun know whether It was because of him or the coffee. I brought a Xmas gift with me on the night but i never gave him. He din give me any present for Xmas too. that night I had a dream. I dreamt that the day after he send me a msg n tell me that he wants to meet up, he has sth to tell me,….On 25th, I waited for his msg the whole day…

What should I do now?Does he have any special feeling for me? why he is so nice to me like that?I dun wanna tell him i love him. I’m scared of being hurt, being disappointed, and losing the friendship with him. please give me some advices!
