What is it to be "deceptively honest"?

Yahoo Answers wanted to put this in "Family & Relationships > Singles & Dating"

I just found my fiance’s profile on an "adult sex finder" site. There is no picture and he uses an alias, BUT, 2 months ago, I found the "alias’ name and password written down somewhere, and it has bothered me ever since. 2 days ago, I just stumbled on to the site– put 2 and 2 together, and found his profile!! He’s looking for discreet sex partners!! I have been with him 2 years, not even married yet and he’s on the hunt!! My girlfriend says I should make a false profile, and set him up for a meeting.. of course when he thinks he’s getting 2 blond bombshells, there I will be….. should I do this??? I’m not good at these things, could it backfire?

Will high school "dating" affect my grades?

Ok so technically we’re not dating. But I have strong feelings for her and I know she has the same for me, because she told me. I guess we’re not in a relationship yet, but we like each other very much. We’ve hugged passionately but she is too shy to go further, and so am I.

I’ve been raised in a family that imposed the idea that dating affects grades, therefore your future, therefore your life. But I don’t believe that is entirely true. I think about her a lot, yes, but I know that education is the priority, and girlfriends are a privilege.

I am a grade 10 straight A student, and she is one too (except gym). We are in all challenge classes (or AP, whatever you call them) and she is very responsible about her education. I think her coming into my life will be more of a motivation for me to do well than a liability.

So, if you have any experience with this, please give me some thoughtful advice. Also, if you have any advices on how I can introduce this topic to my parents, that will be very helpful.

People in Yahoo Answer are Nerds and Geeks ?

So how can you all be so foolish and ask all sorts of Dating questions.
I have the feeling that Yahoo should remove the "Singles and Dating" section.
How about you?

Interracial dating."My Own Perspective."?

Some ppl say love is blind and that is so true.Sometimes I see some of the
pretiest girls ever dating a man of a another race.Not to sound prejeduice
but I get jealous of that.Sometimes I wonder a preppy girl would date a
hip-hop lover but not a metal head like me.
1.My Favorite Band is Metallica

5.I am an 18 year old born again christian.
6.Still a virgin"Regretfully so"
I have aspergers syndrome which also causes me to be very anti-social.

How many "Girls Gone Wild" movies to you own?

…Yahoo! wanted to post this in "Singles & Dating" !!

I demand a….. from yahoo.?

I demand a "Singles & Dating" filter from yahoo answers. lol What are your thoughts.

Did you know that 60% of people have used one?

And yet, almost everybody denies it, or they say things like "I knew someone that used one, but she didn’t like it", or "back when I used to use online dating sites". I once dated a girl I met online, and she told me she hadn’t told anyone about me because she didn’t know what to tell them.

I mean, really, what’s the big deal?

Background history: He’s 17, I’m 16. In the same high school class, but we have not been actually "dating," as in seeing each other outside of school. He’s not allowed him to date, & we were going to wait a little while till he could, but we started having something more than just friendship. This is my & his first time in a relationship with someone else. He’s probably one of the best friends I’ve ever had, & I found a potential partner in him. He’s shy but opens up quickly has a great sense of humor, is a bit goofy, and possesses a great amount of intelligence (he reads a lot, great with computers and cars, & he’s…just amazing). We hit it off pretty well. He’s witty, cute, used to call me babe – there were so many positive qualities that they outnumbered and blocked out the negative traits, if there were any. But a month ago he started feeling a bit pessimistic about us and our relationship. He used to say thing that he was happy, yet at the same time down and out…I told him to just be happy and don’t be discouraged. &..well… here’s what happened:
3 weeks ago, I was texting him one night, & then all of sudden he said, "well, this is awkward." I asked him why it was awkward, but then I said, "what, are we over now? just get to the point." Then he got upset, and was all, "don’t say it like that," and "ouch, that stung a bit," etc. I think I may have upset him, but… I don’t know… :(
He explained & said, "we don’t talk as much and we have nothing in common." (absolutely NOT true) "it’s probably my fault, but still true." I didn’t know what to say… I said that we had plenty in common and didn’t know where he was getting this from. He said, "I don’t know, I hate hurting you like this, but…this just isn’t happening for me I guess. & how many times has this happened?" when he asked that, he meant some of the fights we’ve had. i guess he gets down and pessimistic, & just…it ends up in either a fight or he says something to me that he ends up regretting. like once, he changed the school he was going to go to senior year, & he didn’t even tell me. i asked if he even cared to let me know things anymore (i wasn’t mad that he was going to another school) & if he still cared about me in general. he said, "fine, no to both." & two weeks later? he bounced right back & apologized. he was mad at himself for saying something like that to me, & i took it back. this stuff has happened more than once.
i texted him after he "broke up" with me to see if i could…try again. he told me, "give it up, (my name), it’s not gonna happen." i asked if it was another girl – he said no (not that he could get another girl if he tried). i asked if it was his parents – he said no. he told me to "let it go." i kept asking him why he suddenly felt this way, & he said really stupid, half-*** things like "feelings change, it’s a part of life." i told him he was gonna regret it like he always has when this happens, & all he said was, "fair enough." he shut his phone off… then i texted him saying that i hoped he was happy that i was gone and out of his hair.
that was just so unlike him…& it all just blew over… it’s been maybe 2 weeks since that last thing happened, & i’m not over him. the next day at school, i caught him sneaking glances at me several times, & friends even noticed it. they couldn’t believe that he did that, & they tell me to wait it out… I know the both of us would be happier if we could actually have something real – and date. i KNOW for sure we would be much happier, because whenever i would bring something like that up to him, he was always happy.
i’m sorry for the text wall… if anyone wants to email me about this, do so. thanks for your patience for reading…

say that when someone is murdered…? I always thought that when it’s your time, then it’s your time regardless of how you go. Any thoughts on this…?

And why did the idiots at Yahoo put this in " Singles & Dating ", for cryin’ out loud…?!!!
" delyghtful " : I listed it twice. I deleted the first one within moments after clicking " submit " then relisted it after replacing the words, " in an accident " with the word, " naturally ". That’s when Yahoo switched it from " Psychology " to " Singles & Dating "…

What kind of people fall for the "Singles and Dating," "Marriage and Divorce" or any troll questions? I see sooo much of this. People are always falling for these troll questions. People believe these outrageous stories other people tell. I don’t. I can tell when a story is concocted.

There are a lot of these "My boyfriend this" and "My ex this" and "Does he like me?" "How can I get her to like me?" stories. Sometimes I can tell the story is made up only by reading the title. Other times, after I read the detail, I can tell the story’s concocted.

There’s always that ONE line that’s the giveaway. It gives away that the story is sooo not true. What kind of people fall for troll stories/questions?

Thanks

this is a dating site for mature singles over 40.
and i want to know it better, cos i think it is good and ready upgrade to be a gold member. but i also think i need more ideas before doing this.
thank you all.

Same old, same old in "Singles & Dating"?

Okay, I have been with Yahoo! Answers for a little over a week and I’m noticing a very linear trend when it comes to the questions that get asked. So, my question is: "Do You get Tired of the Same questions, over and over again?"

Well, here’s a list of my most common answers:

"Does he/she like me?" and/or "How do I know he/she likes me?"

If he/she goes out of her way for you, yes. This includes constant eye contact, flirting and/or 45+ hours of talking. If he/she doesn’t like you, people tend to be obvious – get a clue.

"Guys do you like [you description here] kind of girls?" or "Girls, what do you think of [your description here] type of guy?"

Guys like girls and girls like guys. There is literally as many tastes as there are people. There’s no standard for how a girl or girl should be – there’s someone out there looking for the qualities that make you YOU! Fat, skinny, nerd, popular – you name it, there’s someone. Be patient, they will come.
"I’m [ages 14 - 19] and I still don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Help me!"

Hold your horses, kiddo. You’re still young. These things come with time, so don’t worry. Worry about a secure career and set some goals. Don’t let this "no-partner" gig make you lose focus on the rest of your life.
"He’s/She’s cheating – what do I do?"

Leave. He/she is not worth your time.

"Is this love?"

Love is wanting to see the other person happy more that you’d want that happiness for yourself. If he/she is willing to sacrifice part of who she/he is, then: Yes. It’s love.

No, it’s not wanting to bed him/her – that’s lust. No, it’s not a "funny feeling" when he/she walks by – that’s a crush. Usually, you love someone AFTER you’ve gotten to know them. Love at first sight? Made up by the same people that brought you Valentine’s Day.
So, if there’s any other answers you feel you’ve given too much of, feel free to post!
Got a few more:

"How do I ask her out?" OR "How can I tell him/her I like him/her?"

Nike said it best: JUST DO IT.

"Girls, tell me what you think [your photo link here]"

I think you need to stop trying to assert your self-esteem and get a girl.

"Girls, call me!"

Um, no.
"How do I make him like me?" OR "How do I turn him on?"

You’re a girl. Use those girly qualities!

dating — "level" of attractiveness?

I read an article lately that stated that couples who date that are on the same "level" of attractiveness have a higher chance of success. What do you all think of that statement? Is it true — or not true? If you’re a hot girl dating a not-so-hot guy, will it most likely fail — and vice versa?
