Hey all,

I have a question concerning how to respond to a friend. He seemed like he really needed someone to talk to and so I asked him some questions and eventually got him to open up. And it was a lot, like family problems and such. Later today though, he texted me, apologizing for "dumping all of his problems" on me and told me it wouldn't happen again. Any tips on how to respond? ...

I have a close friend of mine who vents to me frequently about her bf. She says things like "I just want him to leave" or "I don't give a f#%@ about him" or "he stresses me out" or "I don't want to be around him."

Not really sure why I'm posting this, maybe I just need to talk.

I went on a date with a girl I met through online dating. During the messaging phase prior to the date we talked about a bunch of different things; she was incredibly easy to talk to, and I really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to the date.

Don't get me wrong I don't want them to die nor would I enjoy them or anyone else to feel pain but I ...
