[System] devastated: When I was much younger, I fell in love deeply in love with a woman, with whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life. After three months of being with her she left. She told me she didn't love me, even though she had told me she did and even went so far as to deny she ever said she did.

[Assistant] Many years ago, I fell in love with a beautiful woman with whom I was totally entranced. We were together for about three months, then she suddenly cut things off. She had told me she loved me. But in our final conversation, she denied ever having said so.

[Assistant] That is really mean. I am sorry.

[Assistant] It was a long time ago. It took a long time to get over her, though. I've never again been as deeply in love as I was with her.

[Assistant] That is so sad. Have you seen or heard from her again?

[Assistant] No, never. I


[System] annoyed: My little sister has to sleep in my room this week while we have company. I hate it because she really gets on my nerves.

[Assistant] My little sister has to sleep in my room this week while we have company over.

[Assistant] Do you think she will keep you awake? How old is she?

[Assistant] She is 11 and always goes through my stuff and uses my makeup. It gets on my nerves.

[Assistant] Maybe you can hide some of your things, or put them in a safe place.


[System] surprised: I lost my cat three months ago. I found her sitting on the porch yesterday. I thought for sure I would never see her again.

[Assistant] I lost my cat three months ago. I found her sitting on the porch yesterday. I thought for sure I would never see her again.

[User] That is so amazing.  Animals have an amazing ability to find their way home.  I wonder if it was out there having a Homeward Bound style adventure.

[Assistant] I have no idea where or what she was up to. I couldnt believe it when I saw here there.

[User] That is so great, I'm glad you got your little friend back.


[System] impressed: A friend of mine from childhood just told me he got in early on Google stock and is a multi-millionaire.

[User] A friend of mine from childhood just told me he got in early on Google stock and is a multi-millionaire.

[Assistant] Oh that would kill to see. Maybe he will hook you up.

[User] I don't think so we haven't really stayed in touch.  I didn't even know he knew anything about stocks.

[Assistant] I would be very jealous. Dont let it get to you too much. At least it doesnt seem like you see him all that often.


[System] sentimental: I found some photos of my father from when he was my age.

[User] I found some photos of my father from when he was my age.

[Assistant] Thats awesome. Do you look like him?

[User] I do look a little like a somewhat taller version of him.

[Assistant] That is really nice to have found. I hope you hold onto them in a safe place.

[User] I've got just the spot for them!

[Assistant] I have been travelling for three months now. I am really missing my friends and family right about now.

[User] A little homesick?  Are you traveling for vacation or for work?

[Assistant] Im on vacation. The place Im staying at is really empty so Im just thinking of home a lot.

[User] Oh my god, that is terrible. Has it affected you knowing you slept through that kind of event right next door?

[Assistant] Yes, it affected me. I had to move to another appartment to feel more confortable and forget the event.

[User] I would have as well. I am sorry that happened to you and I hope you can learn to sleep peacefully again.


[System] trusting: If I'm going to be in a relationship I need girl I can depend on, not some effed up crazy damaged goods type of girl

[Assistant] If I'm going to be in a relationship I need girl I can depend on, not some effed up crazy damaged goods type of girl I can't trust

[User] that's great to hear! I hope you will meet your true love soon! I believe when you do you will now right away. When i met my husband i knew right away he is the one. such a strange feeling. But we've been married for 5 years now and still crazy about each other


[System] devastated: I tried applying for college online because I need the financial aid and I don't have enough time to complete enrollment.

[User] I tried finishing my application for online college classes today because I need the financial aid, and I found out I don't have enough time to complete the requirements.

[Assistant] Oh no! Can you ask for an extension? Sometimes they'll be quite accommodating.

[User] I haven't called and asked yet, I have a lot of steps I need to complete for successful enrollment. Some of the steps seem to require mailed-in information rather than electronically sent.

[Assistant] That seems strange in this day and age. I thought everything could be done online. Perhaps you could hand deliver those parts.


[System] anticipating: I am leaving for a long three month vacation next week. Its all I can think about. I am so ready to leave.

[Assistant] I cant stop thinking of my vacation coming up. Im ready to just go.

[Assistant] Good. Where are you going?

[Assistant] Now that is something I would imagine is hard to deal with. I hope you are in a better place.

[Assistant] I still have issues with my addiction. I didn't get rid of it even with help. It is a terrible thing to leave with.

[Assistant] You just have to keep working at it.


[System] afraid: In a way I'm scared to show love or get close in a relationship.  I mistook pity and infatuation for love and ended up being miserable.  Am I gonna let that happen again? Hell no

[Assistant] I'm scared to show love or get close in a relationship. I once mistook pity and infatuation for love and ended up being miserable. Am I gonna let that happen again? Hell no

[Assistant] Oh that's terrible. I wouldn't shut it all out though, you could miss out on someone great.

[Assistant] Not all of it of course, you're right.  But she's gotta bring something to the table before I go all in...can't deal with that damaged goods crap anymore

[Assistant] Yeah you are right. Better to take things slow and figure out what they are all about first.


[System] caring: When my friend was having some financial issues, I loaned her some money.

[Assistant] I loaned my friend some money when she was having financial troubles.

[Assistant] That's really kind of you. Not everyone can or will do that. I do hope she pays you back!

[Assistant] Yes I hope she does too.

[Assistant] I'm sure! It's always nice to help someone in need, but you do hope they'll do the right thing by you when possible.

[Assistant] Yes, if not, it's okay, I'll understand.

[Assistant] You're obviously a very good person and I'm sure your friend knows that - she'll repay you when she can.

[Assistant] Yes I definitely trust her to.

[Assistant] Then you'll be fine :)


[System] devastated: I put a deposit down on a dog, but it died before I could pick it up.  I was so sad.

[User] I put a deposit down on a dog, but it died before I could pick it up.  I was so sad.

[Assistant] That's pretty heavy. I hope that doesn't discourage you from trying again in the future, especially with a rescue dog or something in that area. If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

[User] It got distemper and couldn't shake it.  I will buy another one some day.  I think I need a little time though.

[Assistant] I had never heard of that before. That sounds like tragic timing. And you're right, I probably shouldn't have brought up getting another one so soon, it just sounded like you'd be a good owner, since you seem like you care so much. It makes sense for you to not rush right back into it.


[System] joyful: My brother is starting his first semester at the college I wanted to go to but could never get into. I am very happy for him. He was scared to accept the offer at first because he thought he'd hurt my feelings. I told him that was crazy!

[Assistant] My brother is starting his first semester at the college I wanted to go to but could never get into. I am very happy for him. He was scared to accept the offer at first because he thought he'd hurt my feelings. I told him that was crazy!

[User] That is so great that he was able to go.  I had the same problem as you, but I started at community college when I was 26 and finished at a 4 year college when I was 32.  It is never too late for you to go.

[Assistant] Oh, I am! I'm like you, except I did community college all wrong. I stuck around in there wasting time, feeling sorry for myself, taking out student loans for no reason. Eventually got on the right track and got into a college, and will graduate at 28. My brother just graduated at 34. Cheers to you guys. Older students are cool

[User] They are the best.  I think it is good to go later, because you know what you want more and don't waste time and money.


[System] lonely: I am living on my own now. When I get home from work I have no one to talk to

[Assistant] Maybe you will a friend soon. Or even meet a nice guy.

[User] I'm having a difficult time doing even basic tasks for myself due to anxiety. But i'm hopeful that something good will happen for me. I feel bad about complaining about anxiety after finding out your mother is ill.

[User] You are welcome, I am glad I can put you in a better mood.

[User] I have. I fly a lot, actually. I just really really hate it. I get so worried and afraid. Hopefully the time will pass quickly.

[User] I'm sure you'll be fine. Statistically its safer than driving.
