I've stopped. The whole "one item per week with no EIs that cost 499 anymore" thing that's been going on has really put me off.

In the beginning I thought that the concept of the EI was pretty clever and innovative, but I guess time has shown that RIGS are far more profitable, which makes sense obviously from a business point of view. However, it's not my business and so as a consumer I must say that it sucks since it might be profitable, but it really isn't gaining much positive PR.

I live in Australia so any gaia cash I buy (via mobile) costs almost twice as much in $AUS than it does in $US which is odd considering the current exchange rates.

I don't see why I'd bother to spend my money on incredibly slow and more expensive evolving items anymore. And yes, I am one of those idiots who bought the CoP.

THIS!

I have a boyfriend of 1.5 years and I'm still a virgin. I'm 17 and I personally believe I'm just too young to commit to sex, there are just too many complications that could occur. I don't think it'd be a good idea to have sex unless I know I could deal with consequences such a pregnancy or STIs. I am the first person to admit that I am not emotionally mature enough, and that I feel my emotions are more important than my hormones.

I have been ridiculed by friends, and even guys I don't know well for my choice. I've been called a cocktease and a loser. But the thing is that my boyfriend isn't pushing for it and understands me. That's what matters.

I doubt that sex when you're 16 or whatever is any good anyway. Why lose your virginity to a fumbly uncertain teenager when you can lose it later on to someone who actually cares enough to try and make it special and actually has more than a vague idea of what part goes where.

It seems like you're not considering yourself in the equation. What do you want to do? You shouldn't have to follow your best friend and boyfriend around in order to maintain relationships with them, so just pick the university you want to go to, it doesn't matter if its different to theirs, if you're meant to all be friends etc in the future then it'll last regardless.

You should never base your future on someone else, your future is all about you.

A guy who exerts his physical strength over you is not the kind of guy you need to be with long term. You can love someone all you want, but if you're not compatible (which you're not) then it is unavoidable that someone will get hurt. You find him annoying and needy and he finds you are not giving him enough attention to the point that he actually holds you up against a wall? That isn't healthy at all. You have no kids and no reason to be tied down, so seriously get the hell out before the abusiveness gets worse.

Good Luck.

Do this one baby. He isn't worth another thought. Get out there and have fun and get some dating experience, you're only young once.
