Q: I've known this boy for about a year now and right when I met him I liked him a lot. I've gone out with him 3 times. I ALWAYS think about him. It's so hard not to. And if i hear that he likes another girl a little i cry. He says he likes me but I just heard about the other girl thing. Anyways, I havent SEEN him for 4 months straight. I feel really depressed if i dont talk to him for a long time. If I think about him my heart starts to like pound and when he comes online I get a really cold sweat. Do I love him or what? it feels like I do so much and if he died OMG id probably cry my eyes out for 3 weeks straight. SO do you think I'm obsesed or I love him?? :(
Sometimes infatuation can cover itself and fool us into thinking it is love. It sounds like this guy has the qualities of what you are looking for in a mate.

True love consists mainly of trust. When he is talking about another girl, it fuels distrust in your heart towards him. I do not think this guy is for you.

Acknowledge the personality traits this guy holds that makes your heart feel full. Keep these in mind when dating others. This will help you in finding the right one for you. I wish the best for you.

Q: My mom is friend's with this lady [40] who is gay. You wouldn't think she was but she told me. Well, I go to work with the lady and when i [13] sleep over we sleep in the same bed because i dont like sleeping on the couch. Does that make me gay because i've heard if you sleep with a gay person thas makes you gay? 13/f .. [ i dont think it is true ]

and are you born gay?
Homosexualism is not a disease. It is not "rubbed off" onto another person.


I do not know if someone is born gay. There has been a theory around about parents wanting a particular sex of child, and having the opposite. Supposedly, this could cause the child to think and act as the sex of what the parent initially wanted. I do not know if there is any truth to this, or what kind of research has been done to test this theory.

Also, please consider this: Why a 40 year-old woman tell a 13 year-old she is gay, but not your mother who is her friend?

At your age, I do think you should be cautious though, even if it is your choice to sleep in the same bed as this woman. You are starting to mature, so more responsibility is needed of you on your decision making. If this person should make any sexual advantages towards you, inform your mother or another adult that you trust. Remember, sexual explotation of children and teens is a serious matter. You will be believed.

Q: I`m a pretty funny person and I`m average looking, I`m not popular but somehow every time I like a guy we end up going out. I don`t have a problem with this but everytime I get a boyfriend we go out for 3 or 4 days then I break up with him. Like my attention will actracted to another guy or something . Sometimes me and the first guy will get back together then break up again. What should I do ? I hate doing this all the time.
The next time you go out with a guy, trust that the relationship will last. It sounds to me like you have an internal fear that the guy will not stay with you. In result, you break things off. The old "I'll break his heart before he breaks mine."

There's nothing wrong with getting your heart hurt. It happens in life. It's a way of knowing that you loved someone.

Give someone a chance. If he ends up breaking up with you, things will be fine. Have a small "mourning" period for the relationship, then move on. This will make you a stronger individual in the long run. I wish you the best.
