[ Swimming & Diving ] Open Question : Do you have to be a really good swimmer to get your PADI (scuba) certification?

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:14 PM PDT

I know it sounds silly, but do you have to be a really good swimmer in order to pass the tests and get your scuba certification? I've done a little bit of snorkeling, but I prefer to be within reach of a float because I'm just not that comfortable in the water. I'm the type that sticks close to the edges in a pool. I can't float and I can't doggy paddle. I've gone on an open water snorkeling trip off the coast of Mexico, and I had a momentary panic attack when I jumped into the open ocean, but since I had on a lifevest I settled down and really enjoyed the trip once I relaxed. It's not that I can't swim - it's that I've never been able to stabilize myself in open water to keep from panicking or going under the water. I love the idea of getting scuba certified and going down into the ocean and exploring, but I don't know if you really have to be that good a swimmer to do it or not. My perception is that since I'd have oxygen to breathe, I'd be relatively comfortable once I got used to it - I wouldn't worry about going under the water because I'd know that I wasn't going to drown. Make sense? So should I go for it or hang it up?

[ Singles & Dating ] Open Question : Relationship going downhill?

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:13 PM PDT

I met this girl 2 months back, and we really liked each other, so we hit it off. recently (starting about 2 weeks ago) things haave been getting different, and (if it means anything) my stomach has been upset and has a bad feeling. I feel like she dosent really like me anymore. Before when we met, we were both really flirty, and now, I dont seem to get it back all too much... thing is, whenever i ask her about it, she says that she still does like me, but I dunno... I mean, I trust her and all, but its a little suspicious. I know that 1 of the factors that could be part of this is that we can hardly see each other, and it may get worse when school starts up again. She has told me that she dosent like it. We are hanging out tomorrow, so do you think itl help a bit? Her most recent text to me was: "Yeah look I'm busy ill text you later" sent at 1:09 pm. Its been 7 hours, and not a word back from her. What do you think is going on? Reactions?

Posted: 19 Aug 2011 07:13 PM PDT

Haha, okay, well there's this guy that I talk to a lot and I'm pretty sure he likes me. We're both 15. Whenever I talk to him on the phone, though, he always makes me meow for him and I did it all the time when he first asked me to, but now it's getting sort of annoying and I don't really see the point. When I don't do it he gets sort of frustrated at me. I don't know...Does he just think it's cute when I meow for him, or does he like being able to tell me to do something and gets off when i do it? Like he has control over me...Or is it something else completely? Thanks. :)
