I'm sorry to have missed all these entries. But life gets in way.
I am a Hindu, and I have many Muslims friends. Yes, you're right that Muslims are muslims by birth. They don't need to baptized (I'm not sure this is the right word!) into any religion.
Ideally, religion actually should not bother a relation as long as two people respect each other, but Muslims(or Hindus for that matter) are pretty traditional people. As in we have traditions seeped into us. There might be things which we don't even notice that others find strange. When and if you're going to be together, you have to keep this in mind. There will be changes to your lifestyle, there will be clashes of outlook-- nothing unsumountable, but still a compromise is a compromise. One needs to be mentally prepared for these changes.
...and you got a friend in New Jersey. I can't promise to be able to put you up, but if you want someone to show you the Big Apple, Philadelphia, and Washington DC, let me know.
Geesh <wrong name>, give a guy a break! He may not have been 'the guy' you've been waiting for but that guy might be a long way off yet. Unless you totally thought the guy was wrong for you, I think you should have given him your number, assuming that your friends already knew him, right? As far as not kissing him or refusing a drink, that's totally your choice and you shouldn't be pressured into either, though I have a sneaky suspicion your friend might have been encouraging that to 'loosen you up.' Whether they're going about it the right way or not, it sounds as if your friends are trying to help you get into the social scene. Don't be too stand-offish or they may give up on you. If you don't like their scene, get new friends! The guy may not know your right name, neither do we!! LOL He was drunk. Give him a chance to make it up. If you do end up seeing each other again, just be sure not to lead him on - that shouldn't be a problem for you : D - . Just some friendly dating might be good for you and may lead to meeting someone more to your liking.
This is all just my opinion. I'm interested to see what your other readers think. Good luck and congrats on the job!
Of course you're as good as your profile suggests!!!! Why wouldn't you be?! You designed it. They saw the work and loved it. There may be some limbering up as you get into it again, but it'll all come back. If you were good before, how can you all of sudden not have it anymore? You got the job because you deserved it!! You'll probably get even better because of the experiences you've had. You're probably, I bet, more patient and detail oriented than you were 3 years ago. Congrats!!
Well, it's an opportunity! So appreciate it for that. Even though it's not kosher to ask an applicant for their age, he may have been trying to gauge your maturity, in which in your case the age can be totally misleading. *phbt* Asking about your marital status too, seems strange, but he could be probing your stability or your flexibility to work long hours. Then again....
If you posted at midnight and he called right at 9 am, I'm suspecting he saw you post, googled you which employers do now, JUST MAYBE saw that you were single, cute, and local, and could be harboring some less than professional intentions. Then again, if that was the case he could be reading your blog and this comment even as I type. Thank God I don't live under the Southern Cross.
Anyway, there could be scores of explanations and coincidences. So don't read into it more than you should. Just be wary as you should always be. Go for the interview during regular work hours AND only to a regular place of business. I know one friend who was interviewed at this guy's own home. Since his kids were being loud he conducted the rest of the interview in his office/bedroom. Luckily his wife got suspicious and sent one of her older children to chapperone them. I am not making this up.
Okay, you're a grown woman. I'm sure you'll do fine. Just be careful of seductive-looking post boxes.
You know, advertising is basically lying. It's the art of telling someone what they want to hear to get them interested in whatever it is that you're selling. So I'm not surprised you're getting this double talk from your supervisor. She's trying to sell you a role different from your expectations and at the same time making it sound like it would be something you really want. If you're not comfortable with this sort of environment, either sell your soul or look for a new venue to showcase your creative talents. Good luck!
Well, you did call that guy on Facebook 'a Stalker,' so maybe he's feeling a bit self-conscious now? Maybe you can send him a quiz or game link to break up the ice a bit and find some common ground? Ooh! What's his Facebook URL? I can befriend him casually and start talking you up! LOL
On the work front: Keep doing your best and learning what you can. Keep the career net over the side of the boat trolling for a better opportunity. Most importantly, IMPROVE YOUR ATTITUDE! If you expect bad, bad will take it as an open invitation. You can control your universe by controlling you expectations. Have you seen the movie <or read the book> The Secret? I highly recommend it if you haven't read or seen it yet. Better yet, get the book and read it on the train!!!
