How do you stop a girl from persistently flirting with your boyfriend?

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:29:32 +0000

I’ve been with my boyfriend over two years, and we’ve been through many of those "stop flirting with my boyfriend!" moments, but none as severe as this one.
There has been a girl at his church who he is friends with (which I initially had no problem with,) but I became slightly concerned when she started visiting his house every weekend for hours (she said she was visiting his homestay international student whom she is friends with also). I let it go, but kept an eye on it.
My boyfriend came to me awhile ago, concerned, and told me that this girl had confessed that she "loved" him, and that she wants him to leave me for her. When I confronted her, via facebook (since I have never met her,) she declared that I "couldn’t stop their love!". And the feelings were obviously not mutual, hence the reason my boyfriend let me give her my usual rant to the girls that like to flirt with him.
I told her to back off and mind her space, since i had been together with him for over two years. Eventually she said okay, and agreed to back off. I had said that possibly in the future, the two of them could become friends again. So apparently, two weeks later, she seems to think I’m totally over her little love confession, and has started posting things on my boyfriends wall like "Oooooh i Loooooveeee your new hair cut! It looks so good! "

Needless to say this makes me and my boyfriend quite uncomfortable!

HOW DO WE STOP HER????
Yes, He did tell her face to face that she had to back off and respect our relationship, privacy and space…. Shes obviously not though..! We’re working on the ignoring… but i just have the urge to scream all sorts of profanities at her.

If I take a course of those that offer: academia, homestay accommodation and two meals a day (that I pay in my country) that I need to bring money for travel expenses, meals, tours and other activities, Please specify the amount of money per week and speak to clarify whether euros, pounds or dollars. Thank you.

Check with the college you are signing up to. London is a very expensive city but there are cheaper student accomodation provided by some colleges.

Would an AROTC cadet be able to study abroad for a year if the year was in Basic Training?

admin — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:30:21 +0000

Naturally, I don’t believe that the Army would appreciate it during the Advanced Course of Junior and Senior year.
I am a high school senior applying for 4-year ROTC, but I am also dead-set on spending a homestay year abroad in China for International and Language Studies. Is this possible as a cadet? I have found some cadets who were able to complete up to a half-year abroad, so I’m just curious as to how it works.

not likely, you’re going to miss quite a few leadership labs

but ask the command, i’ve seen it done before, but it’s rare occassions

Any farms/cattle ranches that have homestay programs in Australia?

You might like to have a look at this website …a few interesting options. You could combine a farm homestay with a tour of the far north & trip out on the Great Barrier Reef.

I say "online" because several forums have mentioned the option. Don’t be a fucking dick.

NO! "classes abroad or online" – ROFLMAO !

Finding Homestay in California?

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:21:31 +0000

I am an international student who is under 18 years old. I am looking for homestay that’s in Sun Valley california or a place that’s convenient for me to go to village christian school. I am a very good kid, a straight A student. If you are considering homestaying, please email me.

You need to go through a proper agency.

I have hosted 3 exchange students, and certainly would not even think of doing it without an agency making sure everything is legal.

Russia vs Western Europe and homestays?

admin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:57:16 +0000

I know people are quick to jump all over one’s arse around here so please know I’m not trying to be inflammatory towards anybody. Just to ensure you I’m not, my family are ex-Soviets (they’ve not a clue how the Federation is today). I’m curious about the differences between a Western European nation, say UK, in comparison to Russia. What are some difficulties in daily life between the two (for example I’ve heard much about underdeveloped legal systems, poor banking, bribery among police in Russia)? I will be studying abroad and living with a host family which will either be Italian or Russian, and while I know being abroad is a cultural experience in which one should expect the unexpected, I would really enjoy staying among warm, smiling people which, from what I know, Russians do not have a reputation for. Italians, from my visit there, are wonderful, familial people – does anyone who stayed in Russia have anything to say about their experience there? How do they feel about foreigners speaking their language?

Russians have been known for shooting daggers with their stares. But whatever, you get over it. It’s just a cultural thing. I actually kinda like it in a way. It’s a nice change from what I’m used to. One thing for sure is that if you’re of drinking age you will be doing alot of "buhanye" over there. They like to toast everything with vodka shots no matter how minor the accomplishment is. Got a job promotion? Let’s do shots.Got a hot new girlfriend? Let’s do shots. Beat a bear in an armwrestling match? Let’s do shots.

Russians actually warm up to you after they’ve had a few in them. Sometimes it might even go a tad too far… I remember my last visit to Moscow where I was situated on a couch next this one guy named Kostya. He was explaining the route back to my hotel to me by gently caressing my leg up and down with his index finger as if "drawing" a hypothetical map. It was kind of a "WTF?" moment for me…but hey, maybe that’s just how they give directions over there.

If you’re planning on staying in Moscow then you better save up a hefty sum of dough. Stuff is expensive over there. And as far as the language thing goes I think Russians like when foreigners attempt to speak Russian. They find it "cute" or something of the sort. Being an American who spoke fluent Russian with minimal accent I was quite the novelty over there.

All in all, Russia is not for everybody but it’s definitely a fulfilling experience if you are willing to get out of your comfort zone just a little bit.

Are there Homestay programs for other countries that you don’t have to be a student?

admin — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:02:23 +0000

I’ve graduated already but I want to do another homestay program. I’d like to find a program that lets me stay with a family (or other inexpensive living arrangement) in another country. Any info such as program names, websites, etc would be great. Again, I’m not interested in student or study abroad programs as I am not a student anymore.

There are many Homestay sites on the web that help with finding you a great place to stay while traveling abroad.
We have found that http://www.HomestayCentral.com is very informative, offers a good selection of qualified hosts world wide!

What’s the best way to find legitimate homestay agencies/families in Montreal or Quebec City?

admin — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:21:51 +0000

To be specific, I’m talking about a house sharing situation that doesn’t require the foreigners to be students.

I’m well aware of craigslist, and used it once to find a homestay situation; but I’m interested in exploring other ways to find temporary housing with locals from the cities I want to visit.

Just to clarify, I believe when you say "homestay", you are referring to a process where international students come to visit and stay with a family in another country. Correct?

This might be done so the student can attend college or university but has a place to stay that is safe. Instead of staying at a school dorm, some families that have the space will host a foreign student, essentially giving room & board for a semester or more.

Or it may be done for a foreign relations event. Perhaps a Canadian family hosts an Irish student while the Irish family hosts the Canadian student for a month or two to perform a cultural exchange.

It could also be something much shorter, perhaps just a weekend or a week long.

Your best bet for finding legitimate places that handle this is probably through the school that the international student will be attending. Let’s say you are coming to Montreal from Japan to study English, and will attend McGill. They have a homestay program for Asian students.

The other option is to locate an organization that has been in business for more than just a few years which specializes in homestay programs. Someplace like the ILSC program would probably be a good place to find a family or become a host family.

EDIT:
Okay, so you are actually referring to something more along the lines of what Kate Winslett and Cameron Diaz did in the 2006 movie "The Holiday". My best suggestion would be a not-for-profit site like HomeLink Canada.

You can try an exchange on Kijiji or Craigslist, but you never know who is answering your advertisement. I would worry about a total stranger that was not at least screened by some organization.

How does one find a homestay in Africa?

I’ve had a passion for Uganda since 1st grade. I went there last summer with my dad and I want to go there for summer 2012 again but try to stay for a longer period of time. I would love to find some type of program that would allow this, Invisible Children however does not have trips to Uganda at this time…Does anybody know of any programs?

I know what you mean! I went to Honduras this spring and I have a heart and passion for helping those around the world. I am trying to save up $6,000 to go to the Philippines next summer! Are you a Christian? Maybe ask your pastor if he knows of any missionaries over there?
