| Yes, that's the whole point of getting engaged, otherwise there wouldn't be any engagement, you'd just immediately go to the justice of the peace or one of those chapels and get hitched. Often times there's rules in place to enforce some sort of minimum waiting period to try and avoid people gettin... |

| Wait, I'm confused, I thought agreeing to be engaged was agreeing to be married? Anyway, when it comes to difficult decisions there's lots of options. You can weigh the pros and cons. You can try using techniques like motivational interviewing to see if you actually want the things you're over-think... |

| If you want to highlight your shoulders halter tops are also an option. Though, if you want cleavage too than you're right: strapless is probably your best bet. If you can get it properly fitted then it shouldn't fall down, so make sure you're very thorough with the tailor if you go for the straples... |

| That's great! I hope you're able to find a way to work around your brother. Hopefully he gets used to the whole idea sooner rather than later. That is a good starting point! But only if you also prefer off the shoulder or strapless. You're the one who has to wear it for the ceremony and anything els... |

You've complained multiple times about the lack of physical intimacy, but did the relationship lack emotional intimacy as well? Sorry to be nosy, I'm just curious. |

| Ah! I'm so excited for you! I 100% agree with Twilight. Figure out your budget and stick to it. Getting married can be very expensive. But, before you go to a store and start trying on dresses and get overwhelmed by the sheer number of options and pushy salespeople, do you know what aesthetic you're... |

There is no way in which pursuing her will end well for you. At best you just get rejected. At worst you end up ... |

Maybe you should take a break from social media for a little while too? I'm sure you know that it's all fake, but it's really hard not to make compa... |

Also, that's horrible that they would experiment on people like that. |
