Open Question: Does he want to get more serious or end things?

A group of us from college went together snowboarding on holidays. Throughout the 8 days on the trip i spent most of my time with this guy. He taught me how to snowboard, we went to dinner together and we were with each other in the nightclubs etc. On the plane on the way back he turned around to me and said "look once we receive back home i don't want you to feel you have to find excuses to end this like if you don't want to continue just say so because i value your friendship so much." I'm really confused because i don't know if this means he wants to go back to just being friends or he is just being insecure and needs me to tell him i want to continue seeing him.

Open Question: When snowboarding, why can't you strap in your free foot when on the chair lift?

I've been snowboarding 5 times now, and it seems like it might be possible to strap in your back foot into your back binding. I've never seen anyone do this before though. Why? Is it dangerous? Discourage by ski resorts? Or in practice not possible without potentially falling off the seat lift?

Open Question: Will he get over me cheating?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost three years, i adore him so much, the relationship we have is so special and magical. I am so close to him, and feel like i could adore nobody else. I have an extremley low self esteem, and often feel like nobody cares for me. My boyfriend went snowboarding and at the weekend i got horrendousley drunk and kissed another boy. I kissed him twice in that night and didn't cease him. I told my boyfriend everything the next day, and he got mad on the phone (which isnt his character at every). I went to his home yesterday and he was very icy. We had sex but there was no adore in it at every. This morning he cried, hes never cried before and he just cried for ages. He is completely heartbroken and i dont know what to do. Its completely my fault and i know i deserve every bit of pain i feel, every bit of shit i receive. I adore him so much and i know i do so do not tell me otherwise. I just need to know will it ever be the same, can we receive through this, What can i do to help him? I welcome any abuse as i feel as though i deserve it. I dont think i can live with out him, but i know he deserves better than me.

Open Question: Pain after skiing/snowboarding?

Hello. Yesterday I went snowboarding and skiing. At the beginning of the day I fell into a seated position difficult, I immediately felt severe pain. After a while I became very icy and was mostly numb, so the pain seemed to subsided a tiny amount. I took one more fall during the day, bringing the pain back. I have felt severe pain on my tailbone and lower back as well as discomfort in my hips, butt, and legs. Could you please advise me? I also have continuous pain sitting, or laying.

Went snowboarding the other day for the first time and I'm hooked. I want to buy a snowboard but have no idea what nice as far as the different board shapes go. I would like to do freestyle and also be able to just cruise down hills. I was on the burton website looking at the flying v, rocker v, and camber but I'm not sure which one is best suited for freestyle and a beginner. 500 is my max price with boots board and bindings. I will probably go to dicks sporting goods to but this so a couple different options would be nice.

She worrys about me a lot aswell. Her and I have a lot in common but not every. We have differential political and religious views. She of the Christian and democratical party. Me a buddhist republican. I adore her but, the freshman has been more flirtatious, has been inviteing me to things my pal should be. She is a very attractive young lady. Since I have known her for so long, I have had off and on feelings for her. She gave me her number without me asking for it. She has invited me go snowboarding with her. ( which is her favorite thing and likes to go with close friends) unfortuantly I could not go due to personal conflicts. She has never dated and finally got a boyfriend but she is still somewhat flirting with me. My girlfriend knows every of this except for the fact that I am sometimes in adore with my girlfriend and sometimes I am falling for the freshman. Thank you for your time.

Open Question: Do I have a problem? I'm really worried :(?

Hi! Please try and read my story and leave a little comment, I promise I'll appreciate every little piece of advise you can give me! Thank you in advance! :) So I am a guy, I'm 18 and just finished the first semester here at the University. The problem is: I'm a virgin, never even kissed a girl. I'm starting to receive worried here... I am nice, silly, every my colleagues say I'm a great guy, smart, I'm the best at informatics from my year. I'm 181cm tall, 82kg, I work out regularly and I sometimes go swimming and snowboarding. The problem is this: I don't have any time for anything else: I can't miss classes, I receive home at 7 or 8 each evening, can't go out (can't afford it and don't have time). I'm a self-taught web designer and I like to do it as a hobby, but that takes up every little time I may have left. I'm a romantic, I dream about a perfect girl, I believe in destiny (only destiny could still keep my romantic life now), I believe in adore at first sight. I like being gentle and tender around girls, but I 'man up' around my guy friends. I stand up for what I believe, even if that means fighting with some of my friends. I don't know what's wrong with me, really. That's why I came here. :( I actually think I would be a good psychology study case :P I came to France last year, when I started college here. Maybe that adds up to the problem, I don't talk french too well :( and I guess that's a turnoff, too. But my biggest flaw is, in my opinion, my lack of knowledge of the opposite sex: I don't know how to seem interesting to a girl, how to approach a girl if I'm alone, how to be silly in french. I had one girlfriend once, if I can call her that, around 2-3 years ago, with which I had a great time: walks in the park, sitting on benches, holding hands and watching the sun go down, together, and just talking and talking for hours. But then we broke up after around 1 month of great time, when we faught over basically nothing, and I never got the chance to kiss her. But I don't blame the 15 y-o me for not having guts, I mean - 15!, but I blame the now-me, for not getting close to any other girl up until now. So this is my story ... and I am really worried I may have a problem that I'm not aware of, and I really don't have neither the time, nor the money to receive help. Neither do I think it's the case for anything like that :( If you have any advice, as little help as you can provide, I will appreciate your comment! Thank you very much! Jake :)

Resolved Question: Can I please get GUYS to answer this?

seems to be a pattern with guys acting werid around me, this time it's a guy in one of my classes. in class, i asked to look on with him since i didn't have my book, and he's like "um...ok..sure" then a week later I go to take snowboarding lessons and he's the instructor, so i think he's going to be a douche when he acts like he doesn't know me, but keeps staring at me. when i saw he had an incorrect name tag on, i said, "that's not your name." and he said his real name was a secret. guys act aloof around me like they hate me or something. i'm not mean or ugly and odor good lol, a bit shy though, yet giggle a lot. anyway, during lessons, he said i was doing great and kept wanting me to try more harder moves even when i didn't think i could do it and he made lots of jokes, but when i tried talking to him he gave one word answers. why guys do that?

Open Question: Wrestling On A Torn Meniscus - please help?

I have been to the doctor for a torn meniscus, and he said he was sure I had a torn meniscus. I wanted to continue wrestling, however, so we opted to not receive an MRI. I was on crutches for a week, then slowly started to wrestle again. It has been roughly a month since I "tore" it, and I am having doubts. It hurts, but the pain is mild. I am starting to want to never receive the MRI/surgery, and I also have a snowboarding trip next weekend. Please tell me if I'm being dumb risking it. At this point, I don't think I really have a torn meniscus

So i thought okay he just wants to hang with his friends, and that was fine. But recently he has been working tardy, and stuff to make a lot of money so i haven't been seeing him that often. But i haven't been too worried about it. I understand that space in a relationship is really good, and stuff, so yeah, Im kinda worried though that he just doesn't wanna look me, he says he loves me, and wants to be with me, he just wants some pal time. I just got out of the hospital today, and we had plans together, and than he cancelled to try and receive friends to go out of town to go snowboarding, but in the end nobody could, So i asked him to hangout and he decided to go into work tomorrow, so after wards i asked him if we were hanging tomorrow after work and he replied with possibly and i said what would make it a no? and he said i don't know. I worry to much about stuff like this, cause i have never felt this way towards a man before, but im worried he is slowly inching away from me. I look him on the week days for about 3 hours, but i miss our tardy movie cuddle nights and such.. Have any of you had a situation like this? and should i be worried? Were young, he`s 18 and Ì`m 17.

Resolved Question: Getting a snowboard for around $230--sound OK?

Open Question: CA Law on Renting Equipment for Minors?

BACKSTORY: Today, my 14 year old brother informed me that he wanted to go skiing tomorrow. We found out that his snowboarding boots don't fit him, so we went to the local sporting goods store. We waited in line for an hour and a half behind 2 customers because the store's computers were down. Anyways, after waiting, I tell the guy at the counter that I want to rent some boots, and then I tell him that I want to rent them for my brother. He tells me that STATE LAW prohibits him from letting me rent gear for him, and that I need to have a parent/guardian gift. My parents are out of town for the next few days and won't be home in time to rent gear in time. No snowboarding for him I guess... THE QUESTION: In order to rent gear for a minor, does the minor's parents have to be gift (below state law)? I am 18
