| This is a bit of a two-parter but here we go: I'm looking to visit a friend in the Netherlands in January (after the holiday rush though) but am having issue with flight pricing. Basically, I can afford the discount fares that are currently being offered for that time, but am unsure of my return dat... |

| "But friendships don't come ready-built. The payback from friendship comes with time, and all friends start out as acquaintances, first." This is illuminating. How can you tell which acquaintances will turn into friends? How do you cull the acquaintance herd to pay special attention to those who wi... |

| Particularly of the racial variety in a subtle way. I doubt a whole lot of outright blatant discrimination is common these days in most western industrialised countries, so I wonder about subtle discrimination. I in particular want to know what it feels like, or if I was discriminated against in the... |

| I'd be fully fine with it, considering I may have some serious flaw that I don't even know about. I'd rather know than not know, and fix whatever can be realistically fixed (or fix whatever I'd prefer fixing). |

1. If I really didn't care for the person so much any-more that they'd be my ex, I'd be OK with them dating any of my friends.
2. I'd happily accept. |

Having never romantically kissed anyon... |
