Alright. My boyfriend broke up with me last March, leaving me to chase after another girl and reasoning that we just "didn't get along anymore."

I was devastated. I had been together with him for over 3 years and had spent the majority of our time together. He was my best friend and other half. He didn't talk to me for about 2 weeks, most of which I cried.

When he came back from college for the summer, we were on cordial enough terms that we thought we could see each other briefly, perhaps share a beer or two and catch up. We began to hang out more frequently, and soon found ourselves having sex again on a regular basis. He maintained that while he "wanted to be my friend," he "still didn't want to get back together with me."

Things with him and the girl he had been chasing after subsided. I meanwhile grew frustrated since I still loved him after all this time, and eventually decided to move on to someone else.

Old boyfriend now calls me all the time, tells me he feels "weird and sick" when he pictures me and my new guy together. He recently left for a 3 day trip to Chicago and said that he knew me and this new guy were going to spend all that time together which made him feel "nauseous."

What's up with this? Advice? (link)
Your ex isn't worth this. You should be able to go out with this new guy. If your ex can go out with another girl then you can go for another guy. Just forget about him right now and focus on this new guy. He might be jealous but seriously, just forget about him. Just give it a little time and maybe it might work out between you two. He said he wanted to be friends. So keep it as friends for now. Your new guy is what you should be focusing on now and forgetting about your ex. I hope everything works out for you!


ok most of the time me and my mom get along fairly well, but whenever im around my grandma, the whole world goes CRAZY. she acts like shes my mom all the time. i cant say anything about her to my mom or i get a big lecture about how shes my grandma and she wont be here for much longer. but sometimes i really dont care cause when my grandma comes over to our house she really acts like my mom,"clean this up, pick that up" its driving me crazy anyone wanna help me out here?? (link)
Maybe talk to your mom nicely. Don't start yelling or anything. Your grandma is your authority, you do need to listen to her. Just respect her. Your mom is right, she won't be there much longer. Might as well love her. Your gonna miss her when she is gone. I've been there. I hope everything works out for you.


first of all, i want to apologize for having such a long problem.
second, i am 13/f

i have this guyfriend and i used to think he was my best friend because he just understands me unlike anyone else. i have this other friend, who has a similar name to mine, in most of my classes, people confuse us CONSTANTLY. i didn't really mind it until he did it because i thought he liked me more than her.

i got my friend to ask him who his best friend that was a girl was (not to make it obvious by asking him if he liked me or her better) and he said that SHE was his best friend that's a girl!

i was extremely upset because i've been through a lot in the last two months such as losing several good friends because of extremely unnecessary fights and i've just been very sensitive and not really listening to anyone. i thought that maybe he was the only person that i could truly count on. i've been REALLY hurt these past two months, and it's like i just added to that.

also, he is definitely not her best guyfriend. but we would always talk i am just so surprised that he said that i couldnt even explain the shock. we got in a fight a few months ago but we are currently (good?) friends. to tell you the truth, i dont like any of my friends. he was the only one that i actually had real friend qualities.

he is constantly flirting and talking with her but everyone knows that he is just extremely nice to everyone so i am not sure if it's flirting or not.

thanks beyond much ♥ (link)
Hey your still his friend. That should be good enough. It would've hurt me too if that happened. This might hurt, or not but he could like her more than a friend. You guys are really close and thats really good. You don't have to be at the top of his list. If you don't like your friends very much then maybe you should find some new ones. Your close guy friend is your friend and just because he might consider the other girl as his best friend, it doesn't matter. You guys still can be close. Don't let that get you down.


I liked a guy, he was going out with one of my friends. I told him I liked him. He told her. Its kind of awkward knowing that she knows but she doesn't know I know yet.
What should I do, Im so pissed at him!
Also my best best best friend, always finds a second best friend for a year or so then finds another one, and so on and so on. Shes always hanging out with her second best friend and then she comes back to me.
We've been best friends for a long time but she gets kind of bitchy to her mom and everything. She's really negative and it brings me down sometimes to because I try to be positive.
What should I do there too? (link)
Well you can't really do much. I would be mad at the guy too but you could've caused something between their relationship. You should stay out of their relationship and just tell your friend your sorry. It would make things better.

For your friend, my friend is like that. She can act like a jerk, even to me. I just hang out with different people now. You can still be her friend, as in being nice to her and stuff. But don't be mean and cause unnecessary drama. Just be nice and find new friends. Good luck!


ok so recently, through a mutual friend, i found out this guy liked me. me and him are hanging out along with taht mutual friend and one of my friends on friday night because i dont know him that well but i am positive he likes me becuase he has told a lot of people and hes super nice. i was talking to this mutual friend of mine recently, though, and she said something with him was new, but i would find out in a couple of weeks, and it was not her place to tell me because he should tell me himself. later that day i talked to another mutual friend of mine and she said he would have a surprise for me that i would get a hint to the next couple of days. i thought this meant he was going to ask me out relatively soon after we hang out because i know he likes me but my friends will not give me one hint. if u have any idea what this could mean, please help! thanks! (link)
Well it could mean alot of things. He might ask you out soon or it could be something else. You won't know till you find out. So I would say just wait and that moment will come. Good or bad. But I hope you have fun with this guy!


ok so i was in love with this guy. Lets call him Zach. So i loved zach for like 5 weeks. But now that we have been going out for awhile...Things arent the same. And i need a guy who can make alittle more time for me. We have been together for 6 weeks. And we have hung out once. So im not the clingy type. I just need someone whose there more. Also...we have never talked on the phone. He will only text me. But he says he loves me. But as things go on...I start to feel bad saying i love you. I like him....But its begining to be less and less. Also im kind of a commentmentaphobic(sp? i dont even know if thats a word) But i cant stay in a relationship for very long. This is my longest. So do i break up, give it time, or what. HELP PLEASE! (link)
You need to talk to him. You can't go out if you have hung out only once, in 6 weeks. You shouldn't say you love him if you aren't sure. The thing you need to do is talk to him. So good luck and I hope everything works out for you!


Okay so im 16 female and im having friend problems. Im friends with these 2 girls and im closer with one of them, and they are best friends. Well they were in a fight and i thought being a good friend i would side with both of them so when one talked about the other i would agree and when the other talked about the other i would agree as well; which was obv. a mistake and a regret. Well now they are friends again and they called me yelling at me for lying and sending the other person things like they are a bitch or whatever. So they both just called me blaming me for everything under the sun and i said its all my fault and i apoligized and said im happy they are still friends and we ended aggrivated with eachother one more than the other but not extremely mad. They said they cant trust me and im know for being a trustworthy friend. I dont no what to do ... should i be friends with them... how do i approach them im having a party for my birthday next weekend and they are both invited and now im scared

(link)
Thats a tough situation. I have been through the same thing except my friend was taking sides. When I found that out, I was so mad at her because I trusted her and thought she was on my side. I would be mad too if I were your friends. But they should forgive you. Maybe give them some time and don't bug them alot. You should invite them both to your party and just apologize and ask if they would like to come to your party. If they don't forgive you, its not your fault. You did apologize and thats all you can do. So I hope everything works out for you.


usually i can talk real smooth to my girlfriends but lately i have been having problems thinking of things to talk about with them and, that usually means getting me dumped.
so i need some help thinking of things to say that wont annoy her or hurt her feelings
by the way we're both 13 (link)
There are tons of things you can talk about. You can talk about school. Thats one easy way to talk to anyone, including your girlfriend. Talk about things you both like and things that have been going on. Everyone likes talking about current events too. You can also talk about her day. Well I hope all this helped and everything works out.


ok. well i weigh about 120-125. and im 5 foot 5. bu ti still have a little tummy and UGH! it bugs me so much and i wanna loose weight, so now i started only eating salads and not eating anything for dinner. i also eat breakfast. lets just say i stay off the junk now for a week. and i run and do exercises i saw in magazine with weights. when should that help me? in a month? 2 weeks? i really wanna loose 10 pounds in about 2-3 weeks. will that work? and if so, what can i do to loose that many pounds..im TOO FATTT! (link)
You basically already have your plans. Exercising does help alot. You should eat all three meals though. Its just healthy. And eating healthy foods is also great. So you should just keep that up. So just try to exercise and eat healthy. So you are doing really good. Good luck!


There's this guy who I was close with for a while, then after holidays he got a girlfriend (like 5 months ago)
Before they started going out, we talked a lot, and joked around.
Now when he's with his girlfriend, he ignores me completely!
Like he looks right through me! wtf?
But when his girlfriend isn't around, he's always jokey and nice talking to me again.
Usually when I see him around school as a joke we kinda knuckle punch :P
Once he walked by with his girlfriend and he lifted up his hand to knuckle punch when his girlfriend wasn't looking..

Wtf.

Also in history class, instead of asking the people around him, he asks me for a pen, even though I'm 4 seats away...
But before history class he stands there with his girlfriend and he completely ignores me..

What do you think is going on?? (link)
I think he doesn't know how to act. Now that he has a girlfriend, he probably doesn't know how to act or treat you. I don't know if he has feelings for you, or he is just your friend but there isn't much you can do about it. The one thing you can do is talk to him about it or just forget about it. But I hope everything works out for you.


This one girl who sits next to me always says "you wear pink alot." and so I always go, "you wear black alot, but I don't say anything." I don't understand what she makes these comments. I guess shes kinda weird, but I don't say anything mean to her or anything. I'm not annoying, and I'm not always saying oh my god!!! I'm not like that. I'm nice, I smile alot. But, whatever. Anyways, the other day I take out a pink pen to write something. She goes, "I hate the color pink." So I said, "I think I've figured that out by now." So then I decided to ask why, its just a color, why do you care. So, then this boy who shes friends with is like, "You're a typical high school girl." And I go "what?" he rolls his eyes at me and turns around. So then I freaked out and started fighting with them.

I've never hardly ever talked to this girl before. I don't get it, why does she and her friends seem to have a problem with me and other 'typical high school girls' i'm not really bad or anything, or not enough to get around school or for it to be much of a big deal. I or anyone else I know has a problem with her friends, they don't talk about them or anything. Why are these people always feeling bad for themselves? what do they have against me and people who are like me?


I don't get it. (link)
Forget about them. It doesn't matter what they think about colors. They where alot of black and people like that don't like the color pink. I wear pink and I also wear black. I honestly don't like the color pink, its seems girly to me but I'm not very girly so that part is obvious. I do wear pink though because I just like wearing it. People have their own opinions. So ignore them and forget about what they say. People like that need to grow up.


alright, well in like two weeks im going on a class trip to a waterpark and we're obvisouly going to wear bikinis but, well im not fat. not even chubby, but i just want my stomach toned up a little more. because most of the girls in my class are really skinny and im just nervous. because i know im not fat, but im scared people will classify me as that because im just not as "tight" as everyone else. and i know i shouldnt care what other people think, but i do. so, don't tell me that i shouldnt. :p bur ANYWAYS, i was writing to see if anyone had any exercises or diets or whatever i could do so i could tighten up my stomach and thighs a little before the trip. i was talking to my gym teacher and he said that the best way is to go for long exercise things, like running or biking, and i have been running and it's been working but, it's hard because i have knee and ankle problems and they get really sore really fast, so thats causing me pain, and im not willing to be in pain just to slim down a bit. and, just so you know. my stomachs pretty hard, but i just have that layer over the hardness that i want to get gone.
thanks. (link)
Your gym is right with the running and biking. You should eat healthy foods like fruits and vegetables so you don't gain so much weight. And you should also do sit ups. They help a lot. You could go for a walk too. Walking does help. Do a lot of exercising and you might lose some of the stomach fat. But do sit ups. They really do help! Trust me. Well I hope this helped you and everything will go well.


Pills are my bestfriends life. she takes so many pain killers more than i thought possible. she says its all the pain in her life pain of heartbreak, screw ups and anything else. she is always gone everyday out with her friends or anyone, but she is totally different if she doesnt take any pills that day. she is just like staring into space and very sad looking and feels empty. i can always see deep pain or sorrow in her eyes even if shes so happy. she used to cut for two years and smoke for like half a year but stopped both. she drinks but refuses to get drunk she has like one every few days but I still dont want her to have any. She says shed die with out them but she can also die with them. She is a very strong in emotion spirit or physical and pretty and a great girl and the nicest girl youd ever meet and is always there for me. she gets along with anybody and is so easy to make friends with altho some people are afraid of her she wears black with colored hair but its not chains or spikes or anything so who cares. so thankful im trying to help and she stopped the other things with the help of her old best friend but he hates her now and they loved eachother. She is a depressed 14 year old girl. Always yelled at for what she wears wich she says is the worst thing someone can do to her, she wears black everyday but it doesn’t look bad. Any advice about her or for her? (link)
You need to find her help. Have her talk to a counselor at school or something. She shouldn't be taking pain killers. I've seen people die from those. You need to be there for her. Its really good that your trying to help but you need to find an adult she can trust. She must be going through alot and its really tough. But she shouldn't be taking pain killers. Its really not good. Your best friend might not live because of that. Please try and get her help.


Ok, I am 13 years old and I have a problem:

My Best Friend is a JERK!!! At least I think.
My best friend is a guy. We get teased a LOT about it, but whatever. He WAS dating this girl named Destiny. She's in 8th grade (we're in 7th.) She's a little bit of a slut, but I didn't say anything, even though I secretly have a crush on Koby, but whatever... The point is his OTHER best girl friend, Katie, and I saw Destiny dirty dancing and holding hands with a guy OTHER THAN KOBY!!! I was pissed, as you can imagine. Katie was too, so she texted Koby and was like,"Destiny's with another guy." And we took a pic of them holding hands. Koby texted her back,"How am I suppose to believe you? Are you tired of waiting for me to break up with her so you can have me?" Is he a jerk or should I forgive him? (link)
It might be hard for him to believe. It would be hard for me to believe if I had a boyfriend and he was with another girl. I might have some doubt about him with another girl. You did try telling him. If he doesn't listen you can say you tried. So thats all I can say. So I hope everything works out.


My friends and I are 17. I'll be 18 soon. One of my friend's bf is 21. I always thought that was a little strange until one night him and a couple of his friends came over and they were all so nice. I can really see why she'd go for an older guy because they are so much more mature and interesting to talk to.

Anyways, me and one of his friends who is also 21 hit it off. He was really flirty and really nice. Everyone says hes a nice guy too. We've been talking and he wants to hang out and stuff.

When I was with those guys I felt like we were all the same age. I mean as the saying goes, age doesnt matter. Most of my friends think its great but a couple are like WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Idk I feel like as long as he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable it shouldn't matter... is there anything wrong with a fling with someone a few years older?

Thanks so much! (link)
I think its ok. Age doesn't matter and that is true about if he isn't making you uncomfortable then it should fine. I know a couple who are 10 years apart so age didn't stop them. I hope everything goes well for you.


So lately i feel i have hit a rut in my relationship. I'm 20 and so is he. I'm taking a summer coarse from Monday to Thursday from 8-2 so that doesn't leave the day to see each other but he works anyways or he has baseball. he calls me every night, texts in the morning and calls me in the afternoon as well. But i feel like hes taking me for granted. He doesn't plan anything or gives any effort. Is it just me or is it because were so busy that we don't have any time for each other? or is it just because hes a guy that he doesn't do anything? I miss him and want a spice in our relationship. I'm feeling a little jealous because hes always busy with work, baseball or friends. i feel like they come before me. i have a weird feeling about it all and i dunno what to do. What do you think on the situation? (link)
I think he is putting in effort to talk to you by calling you and such. You both have a busy schedule so maybe one day when you both aren't busy, you could call him and maybe plan something. He might not know how much you have been missing him. You both are busy so try to get together soon. I hope everything goes well for you.


So, I'm dating a man I've known for a long time. I'm white and he's black. When people see photos of us together or hear about him, for some reason they always have to comment and say things like 'Oh he's black..." or "I'd never thought /you'd/ date a black guy."
I don't understand what the problem is personnaly, I love him and he's so fantastic.
I was wondering though, when you see a white girl and a black man, what do you automaticaly assume or think? Just interested to know.
(link)
I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Its really cute. Don't let anyone ruin your relationship because of race. My mom is white and my dad is Indian. They have gotten comments before but there is nothing wrong with it at all. Its really cute too.


people i dont even know hate me. i have a rep for being a "whore" but im really not. i get mean comments and everyone makes me cry these days. i only have a few true friends but its really upsetting to me. any advice or things i can do? thanks so much:] ! (link)
Its tough. People talk so much for stupid reasons. You should talk to your friends. If they have no idea why they are saying this. There isn't much you could do. It might be a rumor going around. Don't listen to people. I know someone who is in the same position as you. She cries alot because people are acting like jerks to her. Don't listen to them. You have people who do care about you. Its really hard to forget about the people who are mean to you but trust me, you are probably really strong. You can do it. Don't listen to them. Maybe if this doesn't stop, you might be able to switch schools. I hope everything goes well for you though.


why did sean flynn or chase from zoey 101 get out on season for (in real life. not in the show)

was it personal or he needed to go somewher eor what? (link)
I don't really know why he left. But he will be coming back in the season finale. So thats all I know but I hope this helped.


13/f

Last month when i got my period it was on easter...the 23rd and yesterday it was the 11th and i started my period about 2 weeks early!!! is that weird because the month before that it was 4 days late please help!!!
P.S. if it helps any im still a virgin (link)
Its completely normal. It can come late and also early. It doesn't always come right on that day. It can also come late or early with stress. So you don't have to worry about that. It doesn't always come on time.
