Search Results: asking some one out

I know you've seen many questions on this site asking about your BODY count. So many people think that the most important number is how many partners you've given your naked body. That's important, to some extent, but how many partners have you given your heart? How many times have you been in love?

I've been in love 8 times in 53 years of relationships and marriage. The level of mutual commitment in some of the early relationships did not compare to my later relationships, but the feelings were there and the loss of each of those relationships had a very significant impact on me. One of those relationships lasted 17 years and each of the others lasted at least a year.

I want to take another vacation coming up. I plan on giving a months notice. Right now it's been 1.5 months since my last vacation but it will be 2.5 months by the time it gets here. We have to use our vacation by a certain time or we automatically lose it. We still have time before that happens though. I still kind of feel ridiculous asking for vacation again. It kind of feels like I just got off of my last one in some ways. I feel like a lazy employee in some ways. Like my boss is going to go, he wants vacation again? Is this just ridiculous, over worked American culture that has me feeling bad for taking vacation time? I feel guilty putting in a request.
