I know my boyfriend REALLY likes me. To him, I am his number one priority and I even think he is ditching his friends so he can have more time with me.

Now, he is a pretty nice guy but he always wants me to kiss him or makeout with him. He's 14 and I know that at that age, boys hormones are racing! I can't blame him for wanting to because I know everyone feels that way sometimes.

But I'm not sure I'm ready for making out, especially in school. I don't think he is either. We both just got our first ever kisses this year. He is so nervous around me at school so he tells me to take the lead when kissing him. But I don't want to be the lead! I can't handle all of this responsibility because if I mess up, I'll feel stupid!

What should I do? Should I talk to him about this? What if he breaks up with me?

definetly dont let him rush you into doing something youre not ready to do. you should talk to him about it if you ever want to feel comfortable kissing him in public or private. just let him know that you wanna take things slow because you think its better for both of you. he should be ok with it if hes nervous about it too. if he breaks up with you over that (i highly doubt it) hes a jerk and doesnt deserve a girlfriend. as far as kissing in school..you dont have to. but if you want to you should do it in private a lot first so youre comfortable. and when you do go for the kiss just clear your mind. let it happen because if you think about it too much youll get nervous and freak out. be calm :-)

ok i just had my period for the first time, but i like dont know what to do? i just keep bleeding and stuff.. but im like uncomfortable telling my mom.. im like only 11 =/..

dont panic. i was uncomfortable telling my mom too. i waited a week until i told mine. so heres what you do. go put some toliet paper down there for now and then go search your moms bathroom and wherever you might think she keeps pads. make sure you take a stash and put them in your drawer. change it every 4-6 hours or so depending on how heavy your flow is. working up the courage to tell your mom is tough, but she has to know one way or another. if youre not comfortable actually coming out and saying it then drop hints. when you throw away your pad make sure its on the top in the garbage (dont flush pads btw!) be creative. if you have an older sister you might wanna tell her and let her tell your mom. but if worse comes to worse just be like i got my period and i need some stuff. she'll be happy for you and she'll get you the right protection for you. good luck! you can do it :-)

i am really good friends with this one guy we hang out all the time we play basketball football everything we are neighbors so ya but i really like him and well i am afraid that if i tell him that i like him he mite not like me and we will grow distant from eachother and i really don't want that to happen i tried forgeting about him but it won't work als i am 13.f and he 16/m and the age difference kinda bothers me please help i will rate really high

you definetly cant keep this from him. because by not telling him you'll actually make things more awkward because you'll naturally act flirtatious around him and he'll be confused of the relationship between you guys. and if you dont tell him how you feel he'll probably get a girlfriend sooner or later and then it'll be too late. trust me.. a guy moved in across the street from me a couple years ago and i fell in love with him. i waited to tell him for a long time and it turns out there was a time when he liked me but when i told him how i felt he liked someone else. hes been in a relationship for the past year and i regret not telling him sooner. sure there is a possibility he might not like you back.. but wouldnt you rather find out than sit and wonder? good luck.

I have a boyfriend and he is really nice. He is always very sweet and considerate of me. He has made it clear that he really likes me alot and I like him too.

He sounds really outgoing on the phone, but then at school he is so nervous, he can barely talk to me. My friends and I get the feeling that he thinks I'm really popular and experienced which actually, I'm not. So on instant messenger he kept saying, "Were going to make on on Monday and school" and he always calls me "babe" on the phone or computer. But then at school, he is so nervous around me.

So, is he a jerk, or just one really nervous insecure kid?

believe it or not, a lot of people have that problem. he is definetly not a jerk. when hes on the phone with you or on AIM hes more comfortable beacuse you cant see him and neither can anybody else. he knows that you 2 are the only ones that know what you guys talk about.. which is why its a good idea to not tell all the details to your friends. in school its a completely different story because not only does he have to worry about what you think about how he looks and says... but he has to worry about what other people think because theyre probably watching and listening. you need to help him.. but dont put him in an awkward position. be discrete. heres what to do: ease him into being more outgoing in person. if he doesnt feel comfortable around you at school go out in public by yourselves. try the movies first (its dark so its not a big step) then ease him into the mall, then maybe have a bunch of people over. etc. he'll gradually become more comfortable showing other people (including you) his outgoing side. and also make sure you encourage him to be outgoing. just smile and laugh and have fun.

Ok, so theres this guy, let's call him Cameron. I've been literally in love with him for over 2 and a half years. He's liked me that long too, but the problem is, one of his best girl friends (who is also my best friend) says that he likes five girls. Two of which are halfway across the country. Then there's me, and two other girls that must go to my school. On a scale of 1-10 he rated me a 9, and a girl in another state a 10. I'm getting really jealous and I'm not sure how to react to all this. He says he really likes me, and he even gave me flowers on Valentine's Day, but I'm just not sure what to do. Should I still keep my hopes up for him, or try to give him up since he likes 5 different girls? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm in a similar situation. I've loved this guy for over 2 years, and hes had feelings for me that long but unfortunatley has also had girlfriends hes loved more. He always tells me how beautiful I am which keeps me attached. And its probably hard for you to decide what to do because half of you just wants to quit but the other half knows that maybe it could work. It sounds to me like he has all of these girls on strings and hes not sure what to do either. He obviously has strong feelings for you if he gave you flowers and thinks your really pretty. Heres what you should do. Talk to him and just let him know how youre feeling. Let him know that you like him, but if he cant make up his mind about the other girls then he can forget about you. Hopefully this will make him realize that his string towards you can be cut any second and hopefully he'll come to a decision.

Okay im 13
4'11
and i weigh 92 pounds
i want to lose weight but my doctor said it would be unhealthy. so im kind of looking to tone-up my body in a more healthy way. and i'm not aloud to go on a diet
:-/
anything helps!
i rate high!
thanks

my body types like yours too. I know what you mean.. you know youre skinny... but you just want to be the best you can. who said skinny girls cant want that? dietings not the right way to do that though. sure you can cut out junky foods like ice cream and fast food and eat more nutritious meals.. but dont stop eating. and excercising every so often will build up your muscles... especially if you just do abs in your room for 20 minutes a day. i like to mix fun with working out.. when your watching tv do abs during the commercials. in no time youll have a flatter stomach the healthy way :-)

Well, I guess you could say I'm friends with this guy already. But I would like to know if you guys think he likes me or if it's just our odd frienship.
Here are some of the things he does
-randomly hit me (and appolijizes if he thinks it hurt..and gives me a hug when it actually does)
-will bring me a pop from his house for lunch
-share his drinks with me
-kinda tells me a lot of stuff (more than my other friends that he talks to)
-eh i dunno..just if ya have an opinion could you please tell me

I definetly think he has a crush on you, but is scared to make an actual move so he's playing it low key to see what you do. He's probably thinks you guys are too good of friends to actually come out and tell you that he likes you and wants you to be the one to take it to the next level. Don't be afraid to respond to his flirtatiousness. like if he hits you smile and make eye contact and be like that hurt and hit him back (lightly). when he brings you things do the eye contact thing again and make sure you thank him. and most importantly when he tells you that important stuff smile, eye contact, and just listen to him. guys love girls who listen. good luck :-)

so my periods been really weird latley. i had it in december, but i dont think iv had it since then. im kinda worried because my boyfriend and i mess around are both of our "areas" whave been near eachother but we have never actually had sex. I am also very underweight though. I know that being underweight can mess up your period. So i was wondering if its most likley my weight or if theres a chance im pregnant? thank you! (i rate high!)

it's normal for a girl to have an irregular period for the first few years that she has it. if you got it within the past year or so it's even more normal for this to happen. I've skipped a month here and there too. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about with the whole boyfriend situation. but be careful that he doesnt have any on his hands if hes gonna be doing that ;-)

ok i always feel like i'm comparing myself to this girl at my school, shes soo pretty and she has an amazing bf. She has the cutest clothes and she is just really really pretty and i always try to be as skinny as her or as athletic and i always compare myself to her and i don't know what to do to stop myself b/c this is not me at all and i need helpp quick i'll rate 5s for any thoughts!

I did the same thing with one of my good friends who every guy wants and is perfect. But I caught myself, and you did to which is a good first step. You need to realize that people arent going to see you as a better person for being a clone of someone else. You have to let people like you for who you are, and if they dont then theyre not worth having as a friend.

there is this girl that acts like she likes me and askes me over to her house all the time. anyway when ppl make fun of me she will laugh right along with them. Is she a true friend?

she most likely has a crush on you. shes throwing you all the signs. when girls have crushes on guys they dont like to be the first one to make the move. so in order to get them to come to you, they throw signs. first theyre nice and make it kinda obvious they like you and stuff (like her inviting you to her house all the time) and if that goes good shell feel more comfortable around you so she can be more flirtatious. and most girls, even if theyre not aware of it, flirt by making fun of the guy or like hitting him. i hope this helps

Do guys just want girls who are hot? Or something more?

there's not really a right answer to that. yes some guys only want girls who are hot..but those guys arent worth your time. most guys will probably care a little bit about looks, but your personality will mean more to them. if you show a guy that youre an awesome girl through your personality and by just being yourself, your looks probably wont matter at all.

okay. i really need my braces off. like i got them in 6th grade. and im now a freshman! i dont wear my elastics, and if i wear them they'll come off. and to those that have already had elastics and braces, approx. how long will it take for my teeth to not have an over bite anymore? i really need my braces off!!!!

i had the same problem. i got my braces in 6th grade and was supposed to get them off at the beggining of 8th. but i didnt wear my rubberbands. but then i got really mad and wanted my braces off so i sucked it up and wore them. i know it can be embarassing to be wearing them during school, but nobody notices at all. tons of people have them, and just think.. the more you wear them, the sooner you'll have a gorgeous smile. but seriously...i started wearing my rubberbands 24/7 and got my braces off within 3 months after. of course it was the summer before my sophomore year because i procrastinated wearing them. so take my advice. WEAR YOUR RUBBERBANDS. and you'll get your braces off sooner and be gorgeous :-)

what are some good stores that sell cheap clothes? clothes that are pretty and something a teenager would wear.. any suggestions?

I've always loved aeropostale. They're style is like abercrombie and american eagle...but very affordable. They always have sales and theyre stuff is very fashionable.

k well i had plans with this friend of mine today and i just phoned my mom to see if i could go to his house and she asked who was gonna be there and i said no one so she said no. so then we got in this big argument and she said she'd 'talk' to me when she got home cause she didn't want me to be the only girl there. but she doesn't understand that me and him are friends.. how do i make her let me have opposite gender friends?

my mom and dad are exactly the same way. whenever i go over someones house its always "whos gonna be there (first and last names), what are you gonna be doing (an exact schedule), and there better not be any kinda kissing going on" give me a break. heres what you need to do.. put yourself in your moms shoes.. how would you feel if you thought your daughter was goin around doing god knows what with guys (even though youre not with this guy). so now that you kinda have a feeling of how your mom feels go and talk to her. be like.. mom you need to understand that me and this guy are just friends and i need you to trust me. and tell her that you understand where shes coming from but you think its unfair to just assume that you and this guy are more than just friends. remind her of when she was a teenager and put her in your shoes. good luck

ok so this is the problem,last year i liked tis boy named nick for a while [6 months]but i never made a move.so he was in both my english and history classes and the first time i noticed him was because i think he looked at me alot.so he kept giving me mixed messages .and i dint get it .but ii still liked him.then someone told me that i looked athim way too much and thasat made me think hw like me when he dint.then at the begining of summer i started liking this other dude and him and rick are total opposites.he also wanst interested.do i seem to be attracted to people who dont give a d about me.and i dont give a chance to those i might have a chance at.anything would be great.

hun.. i do the same thing. i always seem to think that guys are staring at me when theyre really lookin at me weird because im staring at them. then i start to like them because i think they like me and before i know it im in love with someone who probably doesnt even know who i am. the solution is communication. yea i know its hard to talk to guys especially the ones that you think you cant get. but you need to be confident and believe in yourself and talk. if you noticed rick(or nick..you made a typo) "looking at you" whether he was or not.. why not go up to him and strike a casual conversation... that way he knows youre interested in him and doesnt have to wonder why youre staring at him all the time. and if you dont score with one of the guys who seem "out of your league" so what. its their loss. just keep youre options open because im sure there are tons of guys in your ballpark that you just need to give a chance because theyre the ones that are trying to work up the courage to talk to you. good luck babe

I like a guy... but it's a total dead end. Things would never work out as far as dating, but we're really good friends. Me having a crush on him is tainting our friendship. (he doesn't know I like him, but I can't think about him without wanting him as a bf.) I do not want to want him but he's just so awesome. I really like him. Is there any way to STOP, though? I know my heart will just get broken, and I don't want to let my feelings get that far. Cursed emotions!

I'm in the same situation. Me and this guy couldnt be any closer and I've liked him for years now. He of course always has a girlfriend and is now almost at a year with the one he has now and loves her more than any other girlfriend hes had. The point is.. if you don't tell this guy how you feel.. he (being a guy and all) wont just magically know you like him. You need to tell him how you feel so you put yourself out there as a possible girlfriend for him. You never know..he might feel the same way. And as far as thinking it wouldnt work out..how do you know? If youre already really good friends..why not take it to the next level? good luck

(FOR THE LADIES)
What could a guy do to get your attention and make you feel like the most special girl in the world?

To make a girl like you, you need to make her know that she is the only girl youre interested in. Girls love guys who listen to them. Try to find out from one of her friends or something what shes interested in so that when you talk to her you can talk about things she likes. Also, always remember that girls love to be called beautiful and not hot or sexy. Be as sweet as you can. good luck

there is this kid in my grade that likes me, the only problem is that he is a total geek and i don't even like him as a friend (not because he is a geek though, because he is annoying)
Now he told everyone that he IS stalking me and that he likes me!
what should i do without hurting his feelings?

I have the same problem...only the person who stalks me won't flat out say it. You can use that against him. Try being forward, but not mean to him...maybe say "I know you like me, but I don't like you so can you please leave me alone." and if that doesn't work take it up a notch like "Back off...i don't like you" and if you're still having problems you can tell him you'll tell a teacher or parent that hes stalking you (you don't actually have to do that unless you want to) ... another good idea would be to avoid him as much as possible in the halls and if he does corner you just try to ignore him.. hope i helped

i'm afraid that if i start using tampons it will give me that disease thing and plus the thought of tampons just grosses me out but my pads always leak and i feel so uncomfortable with them. ew i dont know what to do.

Its really your personal preference. Tampons aren't as bad as people make them sound. As long as you're careful and do everything right, there's a very low risk of getting TSS. However, you should still wear a pad at night and when youre not on the go because the chance of TSS will increase the more often you wear tampons. Believe me, wearing tampons at school and out is much more comfortable then pads. Tampons are easy to insert once you get the hang of them too. Hope I helped...write back if you need more info
