After accessing the situation, it appears to me that you're motivated by the wrong reasons. This of course, is my personal opinion, but I think it's going to result in you setting yourself up for despair.

You're seeking a relationship. You feel as if your time is limited by the fact that you are graduating soon. This guy just recently got out of a relationship which may or may not be tipping your affections more in favor of him.

I'd say take a step back and get to know him as a friend. Ditch all the turmoil of your emotions (it's hard, I know) but you can get to know him better, find out if he's interested, etc without putting yourself too far out and you won't necessarily be setting yourself up for failure.

Well I suggest you aim to learn more about him. Don't get too eager and basically think too much of wanting to "be in a relationship". It is the moments of simply spending time together is what a real significant other so desirable.

You can easily break the ice just by being more involved with the guy. Offer him to do something with you. Ask him for any of his interests and, no matter how uninterested you may think you'd be in it, give it a try. Example: He likes to rock climb, so ask him how to get started yourself. If it won't harm you, give it a shot. Share things you don't think he would consider either, and remain bold about it.

Lots of potential is found by sharing differences rather than interests. Granted I'm assuming you want a potential long term. If you don't care about that, well just act based on how you feel.

Don't look at him as a single guy. Or the fact he got out of a relationship. He is someone you want to go out and enjoy life with. Focus on that. Be positive, joyful, and smile whenever you get time with him.

Good luck to you.

how close was he to his Ex? if it was serious relationship then you might wanna give it some time, if it was a month or 2 relationship it may be ok to jump right in, other than that talk to him like you've been doing maybe get a lil closer dropping subtle hints that your interested, he hangs in your circle so it wont be too hard to talk to him.

Side note: you may wanna find out why him and his ex broke up it may clue you in to certain things about his personality as far as what he likes and doesnt like in a relationship.

Good thing you're thinking it over, unlike that guy who made a move way too soon.

Now, really, I think all you can do for now is strike up a conversation with the guy. Best to get more info and confirmation as to how ready he is. Obviously, there will be a base period of waiting, as all newly single people will be vulnerable at first. Don't wait too long, though. For now, just get comfortable around him, and make sure he's comfortable around you.

LOL SUPER NECROBUMPING.

Old post from 2007... I think this should be locked down now.

i suggest the helpers go back through this thread and double check all the other members suggestions/contributions. with all the short threads that get merged into this one, some stuff may have been over looked.

I wish to upload my own personal manga in which I drawn myself.

I have a question. if I upload my own manga, how do I make it so that it looks like the mangas on Fakku? You know, organizing them from page to page so they don't look like a mess.

http://evebitfirst.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/a-man-is-a-rape-supporter-if/
According to the website a man is a rape supporter if "He watches pornography in which women are depicted."

A man is a rape-supporter if…

He has ever sexually engaged with any woman while she was underage, drunk, high, physically restrained, unconscious, or subjected to psychological, physical, economic, or emotional coercion.
He defends the current legal definition of rape and/or opposes making consent a defense.
He has accused a rape victim of having “buyer’s remorse” or wanting to get money from the man.
He has blamed a woman for “putting herself in a situation” where she “could be” attacked.
He has procured a prostitute.
He characterizes prostitution as a “legitimate” “job” “choice” or defends men who purchase prostitutes. This one is tricky: talking forced into prostitution, or someone willfully stripping? Define prostitute here.
He has ever revealed he conceives of sex as fundamentally transactional.
He has gone to a strip club.
He is anti-abortion. I'll disqualify this one as yes, forcing to make a woman carry something in her body could be rape, but it's a stretch. Not quite rape though.
He is pro-”choice” because he believes abortion access will make women more sexually available. Wrong, but not rape...
He frames discussions of pornography in terms of “freedom of speech.”
He watches pornography in which women are depicted.
He watches any pornography in which sexual acts are depicted as a struggle for power or domination, regardless of whether women are present. If it's "real", videotaped rape, then yes. Otherwise, no.
He characterizes the self-sexualizing behavior of some women, such as wearing make-up or high heels, as evidence of women’s desire to “get” a man.
He tells or laughs at jokes involving women being attacked, sexually “hoodwinked,” or sexually harassed.
He expresses enjoyment of movies/musicals/TV shows/plays in which women are sexually demeaned or presented as sexual objects
He mocks women who complain about sexual attacks, sexual harassment, street cat-calls, media depictions of women, or other forms of sexual objectification.
He supports sexual “liberation” and claims women would have more sex with (more) men if society did not “inhibit” them. What? I don't even get this point...?
He states or implies that women who do not want to have sex with men are “inhibited,” “prudes,” “stuck-up,” “man-haters,” or psychologically ill.
He argues that certain male behaviors towards women are “cultural” and therefore not legitimate subjects of feminist attention.
He ever subordinates the interests of women in a given population to the interests of the men in that population, or proceeds in discussions as if the interests of the women are the same as the interests of the men.
He promotes religious or philosophical views in which a woman’s physical/psychological/emotional/sexual well-being is subordinated to a man’s.
He describes female anatomy in terms of penetration, or uses terms referencing the supposed “emptiness” of female anatomy when describing women.
He defends the physical abuse of women on the grounds of “consent.”
He defends the sexualization or sexual abuse of minor females on the grounds of “consent” or “willingness.”
He promotes the idea that women as a class are happier or more fulfilled if they have children, or that they “should” have children.
He argues that people (or just “men”) have sexual “needs.”
He discusses the “types” of women he finds sexually appealing and/or attempts to demean women by telling them he does not find them sexually appealing.
He sexually objectifies lesbians or lesbian sexual activity.
He defends these actions by saying that some women also engage in them. Pretty wrong, but not rape... just misogyny.

Now as you may know, Katniss, the main character in the book and film, was described as having "straight black hair" and "olive skin." It's a post-apocalyptic world, so she could be a mix of things, but some pictured a Native American. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jennifer Lawrence won the part and dyed her hair dark.

But when it came to the casting of Rue, Thresh, and Cinna, many audience members did not understand why there were black actors playing those parts. Cinna's skin is not discussed in the book, so truthfully, though Lenny Kravitz was cast, a white, Asian or Latino actor could have played the part.

But. On page 45 of Suzanne Collins's book, Katniss sees Rue for the first time:

"…And most hauntingly, a twelve-year-old girl from District 11. She has dark brown skin and eyes, but other than that's she's very like Prim in size and demeanor…"

Later, she sees Thresh:

"The boy tribute from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there. He's one of the giants, probably six and half feet tall and built like an ox."

Dark skin. That is what the novelist, the creator of the series, specified. But there were plenty of audience members who were "shocked," or confused, or just plain angry.
