I am 24 year old single mother of two beautiful children. I have a 3 year old daughter and a two year old son. I recently got out of 6 year relationship with a person who treated me in ways no human should ever treat another human being. I have learned a lot and hope to share it to help others. At the same time I have a lot to learn and use this site as a source of insight into other peoples' minds and hearts. I'm always open, so if you want to you can private message me also. :)

A.   24 June 2009: That's a tough one. I would probably say just stay friends with her. Maybe she feels that you like her and doesn't mention him because she thinks it would bum you out. It's possible that she likes you too but doesn't want to take the step into ... (read in full...)
