Most of the nearly two billion children in the developing world have inadequate access to dinosaurs. Some receive no paleontology training at all. One in three has never even seen a dinosaur in person.
OVPC is an organization providing a means to an end - an end that sees children in even the most remote regions of the globe being given the motivation and adrenaline to tap into their own potential, identify with the survival needs of a global dinosaur-driven culture, and to contribute to a paleontological world community.

| Yea, when a girl tells me that she likes me, . . . before I get the opportunity to tell her (even though I was probably about to in the future!) It makes things a little awkward for me. Because for me, after she tells me that it makes it hard to look genuine. I don't ever want to be seen as one of those guys who only goes after the girl he knows he can get. |

I've never been one to agree with girls initiating things... let the guy step up and be the man; let him do the chasing!! As a girl (most girls, anyways) you'll appreciate and respect him a lot more if he makes an effort to let you know he likes you rather than you starting things.
Actually, one of my really close friends is going out with a guy she was friends with for a good while beforehand. I was friends with both of them and sort of introduced the two, so it was an interesting situation for me.  Anyways, she liked him but didn't really show it (she's not a very emotional or affectionate girl... it's hilarious and awesome), and he liked her and totally showed it by treating her special and making an effort to hang around her a lot. But since she'd never really liked a boy before, nevermind had a boyfriend (!), she didn't know if she was just reading into things. (I did not interfere at ALL, by the way! SO not my place or right) We prayed about it together, for patience and guidance, and now they have a wonderful relationship built on their friendship and on God especially! Go God! 
So basically my story is just an encouragement for girls to just wait on God and for guys to seek God's will before making any decisions like that - if God is your focus in everything, you can't go wrong!  |

to put my 2 cents in: I have to agree with everything said. I'm more toward the traditional way of things. I like the guys to be the instigators in relationships and chivalry will totally win over my heart. I love it when guys are gentlemen-again the traditional way of thinking. Anyways... for the most part, I'd say wait on God no matter what. |

I totally agree with you there! I'm totally hopeless in the fact that I want the boy to say something first! If the boy says something to me first, the relationship means a lot more, because it's like he really cared about the relationship to start with, so it's more special. |

| i TOTALLY agree w/ u, DaughterofEve thats exactly what i think too, and when my friends r constantly asking me y im not callin up the guys or asking the guy i lyk out, i just say its because the guy should b the initiator. and so far, ive heard from a ton of guys that its WAYYYYYYYYY better when girls dont do the asking & initiating and let the guys do it b/c its more of a challenge. SO im pretty happy w/ the reults of NOT being the initiator |

Yeah I agree, making the first move as a guy can be REALLY hard but it is totally worth it. I used to miss so many opportunities to go and talk to girls but just a little while ago I gave the girl I like a rose and it gave me so much confidence and made me feel great because I did something about my feelings that I never thought I could do.
For you girls if you want to give the guy a hand if he's a bit shy then just go talk to him or be nearby. It's simple and doesn't sound like much but it helps and makes the 'first move' not quite so daunting. |

| I absolutely agree. A girl can help out a guy by smiling, being nice to him, but not really overstepping the boundaries and actually flirting with him. HE should tell HER that he likes her, and HE should ask HER out. |

I am a guy that could be described as on the quiet side. I would honestly say that I am most likely not to show my feelings about a girl for a while if I like her. I would probably spend time getting to know her as a friend before I reveal my feelings to her. I would urge you to be patient since some guys take time to work up the courage to tell a girl how they feel. For a guy that wants to do this but is just afraid, he would rather that the girl wait for him as this would show she is truly interested in him and not impatient.
Waiting can sometimes be really hard when you don't know so you can always talk to some of his friends that you trust and see what they think he might be feeling.

Well, Luke seems to only have one post, but I have to agree that waiting can be pretty hard.
If it were switched, and I liked a guy- I would prefer to get to know him first: know what his values are, what maturity/intelligence level he's at, what he likes or dislikes, hobbies, ideals, etc. If I date someone, I'd prefer him to be my friend/ best friend first. If I liked a guy, he probably wouldn't be able to pick up on it. But for the most part, I'll tend to agree with him more, and if not, I won't be so upfront about it (not that I am with any of my opinions), and I'll agree to do a lot of things with him, and probably laugh more.... If I like a guy a lot, and he notices or picks up on it, I'm thinking he's super intuitive or he asked a girl friend of mine for details.
Right not though, I'm trying to develop more my relationship with God, though I am getting to the point where dating has more appeal now- probably because I'm no longer in high school or at the beginning of my college years. |

might I add that women do most of the ending of relationships these days, if the women were made to chase the guy, let the guy be the challenge, then maybe she would value him more, and he would be able to lead without worrying about losing her (because she values him).
Men are not the only compeditive ones, women can be very compeditive, especially for a potential partner.
I'm surprised Darcie and Nate aren't already on here. lol |

| Really, eh??? Let's say a guy pursues a "hot" girl. Do you really think he values her, or does he just want sex? Would it really be any better if a girl pursued a "hot" guy? |

I like what you say Q
Yes, I do have to say that you make a very valid argument. If we girls had to work for it, we would certainly learn to appreciate relationships more. Again, I'm speaking from mere agreement and thought.
I think Darcie does give some food for thought though |
