I have a date this Friday and I just don’t know.

Trust your instincts with this, if he is pushing and won’t take no for an answer, take it as a sign of his character! Stick to the movie only, hell I would personally cancel, because I’d be uncomfortable around a pushy guy.
It’s good to get out there and have good nights out, but it’s also best to choose wisely. I hope you have a good time, it’s also okay if you don’t go through with it.

The other thing is, if you met through a friend, I suppose I’d be more okay with it as opposed to meeting online. And if you’re meeting the first time, always be in public’s sight. Always bring pepper spray with you, though, always 😉 and a pocket knife for good measure 😛

Update on my mom’s condition (Ilse/Aisha).

My mom passed away this morning, SA time. She went very peacefully. Not long after my last post.

She wasn’t left alone, because it didn’t feel right. So don’t worry about that. She’s breathing very faintly now.

Update on my mom’s condition (Ilse/Aisha).

New Update:

My mom went into a coma-like state last night or a little before that. We were unaware because it’s hard to tell if the noises she makes was in response to what we were saying or just breathing.

I noticed this afternoon while we were trying to give her morphine that she was not conscious, so I called the Hospice team to ask. And it is no longer possible to give her pain medication, also, we were told she needs to be left alone completely so that she can pass on in peace. So the family is gathering to say final goodbyes, and we’re leaving her alone after that.

How do you know when you have found the one?

It’s a difficult thing, to know. It basically comes down to the fact that if you’re both compatible with one another, meaning that you both feel attraction and can stand each other’s personalities, as long as you put effort into the relationship it will work out.
Staying single for whatever reason until the /right/ person comes along has its ups and downs. There is usually trial and error in these sorts of things, and you learn something valuable from each person.

I agree with the biological clock mentality.
I’m planning to have my first child at 25/26, and maybe a second by 27/28. I refuse to have a child after 30, really I don’t want to have kids after 26 - risk of defects start increasing exponentially after 25 if I remember right. If I can’t have a child before then (physically incapable), I’ll adopt or just get lots of cats.

I have come to the conclusion that people just do not take me seriously or respect me.

Be careful how you're wording your messages to these people, it is all about confidence and being assertive, not to disrespect others, for e.g. "I believe you might like this product, will you try it and share your opinion?" vs. "This is a product you need and will absolutely love, give it a try and tell me what you think"
Apply this to everything you say to people, never sell yourself short. Especially in cover letters when applying to jobs. Women especially have trouble with this in a male dominated world, where we have to downplay our attributes to seem more acceptable to males who are often our 'superiors' in the work setting. If we are mindful about the way we're wording things, we can seem equally as confident! For me, it's completely subconscious, it's natural for me to downplay myself - also a struggle for people with a low self esteem.

Would you rather be intelligent and live a lifetime being poor or be not that academic and be wealthy for life?

Stupid and rich = the trumps, lol (no offence to those who like him?)
I'm poor and I guess not stupid, and yes I'd love to have money but not if I must sacrifice everything I know for something less, I've just come too far to do that. I'll probably never get the things I desire out of life, but if I were stupid and rich, I'd not have the same desires anyway, since I wouldn't have walked the same path - I wouldn't even be the same person, just some lesser version.

I don't know a lot of the people here.
