i really really have a problem with kissing my boyfriend. we've been going out for quite a while now and we've only reached a hug. i really do wanna kiss him and he wants to kiss me but we're both so nervous. everyone says it will come naturally but we're both too nervous for it ever to come. (Indeed)

Ok wow - flashback! I was in a relationship for 4 months and it took a hell of a lot for me to even hug him. And I nearly had a heart attack.

Its obvious that you'd like this relationship to last, otherwise you wouldn't be concerned about this. So I'll tell you what happened to that relationship, it of course ended. We each thought the other had stopped caring about the relationship because there was no gradual progression in maturity and whatnot. So it ended.

If this is important to you, which it is, then make the effort. Or, you can do something that will attempt to FORCE him to kiss you. And that method is to grab his hand and hold it and then just stare into his eyes until he kisses you.

If you really care about him, your fear wont be strong enough to keep you two from kissing ever. Don't let an otherwise great opportunity for a long term relationship slip away because of fear.




ok say your in deep love but then you see another guy walk bye and say to ur friends oo hottie what does that mean? does it mean the guy you in love with ur not really in love with or is it just normal for ppl to do that? (Indeed)

Even people who are married for 50 years have looked at other people and said they think they are attractive.

It would be pretty strange if you didnt act that way I think.

The difference is acting on those feelings you have when you see attractive people.




how can i hide a hickey? (Indeed)

use some cover up, but make sure you apply it to your whole neck and not just the one spot and make sure its a good matching skin tone colour.

Leave your hair down -if its long, you're in luck.

Hooded sweatshirts are great too. Also, dont draw attention to it by asking friends if they can see it. Just dont ask anyone if they can see it because they may never even notice.




does anyone hae any information about Winston-Salem university in North Carolina? (Indeed)

http://www.wssu.edu/

Thats their official website right there.




Hey. I am 13 and female. Well, I have a huge problem. Well, it isn't a problem I am just confused. Well, I've known *ASpEcIaLSoMeOnE* for almost a year now. We've gotton ExTrEmLy close. Well, when I got back from Florida, he told me he had a girlfriend. I was very upset, because I knew things were going to have to change. Well, I was talking to him yesterday night infact, and I opened up to him and stuff. I just want things to get back to normal. I already confronted him, and I don't wanna push him to things. How can I get things fairly to the same as it was before? (Indeed)

Truth is - it won't ever be the same.

If you really do care that much about him, then stay friends, but try to meet some other guys and let his relationship with this girl go on and more then likely - it wont last too long.

If it does last, well then move on and find yourself a guy who wont find a girlfriend while you're on vacation.




what exactly is an infatuation and how can u spot it? (Indeed)

Ok well, in my personal opinion - real love itself involves three components:

Passion
Intimacy (this is not sex intimate - intimacy here means communication, deep conversations and meaningful emotional bonds)
Commitment

If you have passion for a person, and none of the other aspects, well then its probably simply an infatuation rather than love. If you can't see yourself with this person for a long time, or envision what might be, then its either a 'crush' situation or infatuation. When you're infatuated, you don't really know the person on a deep level, or maybe you don't know them at all. You base infatuation usually on looks and what you think you know about this person. Infatuation usually means you haven't yet seen this persons flaws and problems. Real love is seeing these problems, realizing the person isn't perfect, and loving them anyhow.

Infatuation can be very easily confused with love, which is why you should never rush into any thing, because real love can wait until you know the person extremely well. Infatuation wont wait, and once you discover things you don't so much care for in a person and find that you like them less because of these negative aspects, well then you know that its probably just infatuation.

If you aren't willing to commit to the person, then its also infatuation, not real love.





Im a 15yr old girl and when I was younger my brother used to pull down my trousers and hold my bum , it seems a bit silly really but it used to terrify me, he did it a few times and when i tried to run away he grabbed me. The more i think about it the more wierd it is, can you tell me if this is sexual abuse or not and what to do about it please, thanks! (Indeed)

Are you still afraid of him? Do you still feel threatened at all by him or feel like he might harrass you again?

If you do then there might be a problem, talk to someone you can trust who is older and see what they have to say.

You might chalk it all up to him being a kid, but he was 12, so I'm not so sure.

Get some advice from an adult who knows the both of you, and can decide whether its kids being kids, or if there is a real underlying problem going on.




Is it legal to spank a kid?
And is it legal to hug your kid even if they don't want a huge? (Indeed)

In Ontario, it is legal for someone in a position of authority to use force to discipline a child. However, it must be considered 'within reason'. So if a kid pushes his brother, you can wallop him up side the head. People should not test the limits of these laws.

Sometimes kids could use a good ear pull.

As for a hug, well, ya as long as you dont hurt them I guess. If you go after them with a huge bear hug and suffocate them, I supose that would be pretty bad, but a kind parent hug even when the kid is mad is not illegal. Or at least, no judge would convict you of emotional damage for hugging a kid.




wut if i was molested wen i was little? can i do anything now? (Indeed)

Yes you can. It's difficult but yes. I'm fairly sure you can press charges many many years after the fact.

It also depends on what you're looking for in the way of compensation/retribution.

The best thing you could possibly do is talk to a lawyer, many of them will give you legal advice for free, just make sure you ask if they charge for the advice first.'

You could also just head over to the police station and see what they have to say about the situation.

Like I said, because a lot of years have passed, it may be difficult, but you can still do something about the situation.




dude i really like this kid but he like is a player n he wants me to go to his house tom n have sex i dont want to n i m like in love with him but he messes with my mind it sux wuta i do? (Indeed)

Well duh.

The guy is a loser. You admit he's a player and yet you still love him?

Don't have sex with him if he messes with your mind. You aren't in love with him, and he isn't really worth your time.




Could you get pregnant if you have unprotected sex in a hut tub? And wouldn't a condom slip off in the water? PlEaZe WrIte BaCK AuDREY! (Indeed)

Yes of course you can get pregnant. And having sex in a hot tub isnt that great an idea anyhow because there are a hell of a lot of chemicals in that water. Chlorine/Chemicals+Genital Gymnastics= a big painful no no.

Umm as for the condom, as long as you dont put it on under water it should stay on. But hey ya never know.




I want to get a thong. I am almost 12 and my mom says I am too young! Whenever I ask her she said "Hell no Jennifer! How many fuc*ing times do I have to tell you?!" How can I convince her to let my buy one without her getting mad and yelling at me..... AGAIN!!! (Indeed)

your mom might be a little afraid of you growing up to fast. Parents are like that.

Despite what someone else said, they aren't uncomfortable. If you really want one then tell your mom you are mature and the only reason you want it is because you'd like to try and see what the fuss is about. Tell her you only want 1 thong and you just want to give it a try. You may even hate them, some people do.




Hey,

My names Dawn and im 15

I live in New York

ive never had a boyfriend, and ive fallen in love with this dude online

He's names Mark and he lives in Cali, he's 17

We talk on the phone all the time

and we are kinda bf and gf

but lately ive had second thoughts, i mean he does live like really far away, BUT I STILL LOVE HIM


should i break up with him? or what??????

PLEASE HELP ME~!!! (Indeed)

Why dont you make things more casual. You may love this guy but tricking yourself into believing that 'some day you'll be together' might make you crazy.

I think you should let things happen however they happen, everyone says long term relationships dont work, and maybe they dont, but that doesnt mean you cant still think about the guy and not forget him.

No matter how far away a person is, they still have an affect on you. And you can't just forget about that. You have feelings for the guy but you're probably scared that loving him is just you fooling yourself into believing that he's really real.

There is no reason you can't be friends, but at the same time, dont limit yuorself to this guy who you may never even see. Let yourself explore guys near you, but dont just cut this other guy out of your life either.




can u get birth control without ur parents knowing? (Indeed)

I would think that you could, because you can ask your doctor and they have patient confidentiality.

However, birth control really does a number on a woman. Physically and emotionally. The side effects are horrendous and you really would need to have a reason as to why you are changing so much suddenly. Your parents will know something is up with you.

Also, if complications happen, which sometimes they do - you could get hurt. Your parents wouldn't know what was wrong or how to help you.

But of course, you still may be able to get the actual pill, or patch without them knowing.




Can you materbate with objects? Well see the story is that my boyrfriend's out of town and i'm how do you say, lonely. I need something to take the place of him while he's gone...thank God it's only for a month. But i need to know ASAP!!! (Indeed)

oh gross what the hell an electric toothbrush?
what if someone uses that after!!

Just use your fingers. The stuff lying around your house is covered in germs that could land you a nasty infection. Wash your hands and help yourself.




does anyone know of some good art websites.. or websites that show you tecniques of painting or spray painting? (Indeed)

try here:

looks pretty good.




i've been going out with my boyfriend for nearly 2 months now and we're both too shy to kiss, we both said we wanted to but neither of us has the guts to make the first move. I don't know how to make a move on him and i'm scared that it'll all go wrong but i'm sick of my friends calling me a fridge. what do i do? :( (Indeed)

Fridge is the new word for that huh? It used to be TMN. I think I'm getting old. Sigh.

Anyways, for your question. If you can't work up the courage to kiss him on the lips then try and see if you can make yourself kiss him just on the cheek. He's probably terrified and if you kiss him, even the slightest little cheek peck, he'll know you want him to kiss you and then most likely he will. Guys can be reaaaaallly really shy because they're afraid of the reaction you'll have if they kiss you. So, if you want him to kiss you - you'll have to kiss him first.

If you can't work up the courage to kiss him on the cheek, then try holding his hand and just staring at him. Hopefully, he'll get the hint.

if even that doesn't work, write him a note and write in big huge enormous letters

I WANT YOU TO KISS ME.

And then slip it into his hand. And he had better kiss you at that point.




How do gay guys have sex? I now how leisbian have it but buti don't no how guys do! (Indeed)

They have anal sex, which is called sodomy. Men and women do this also if they want to.




Hey I just wanted to know if its bad to masturbate alot? b/c I masturbate anywhere from twice a day up to six times a day....I figure its better than going out there and risking my life having sex with someone that could have STDs...right?! ... and I sometimes stick 2 fingers in me, is that bad? should I stop that? *Thanks for your help!* (Indeed)

No, masturbation is not wrong. However, there is something to controlling yourself sexually. You can go and interact with people and that doesn't mean your going to have sex with them.

Do you NEED to masturbate to make yourself feel better or is it just something to do?

If its something just to do then you don't do it. Its not wrong to do it but continuously doing it might end up hurting you physically if you're doing it so often.

People seem to have gotten it into their heads that if they aren't having sex then they need to be doing something for themself to make them happy. Well, you can go without both really.

Try not masturbating for like... 2 days and see what you think. If you dont feel strongly that you want to do it, then dont or at least cut back on how often you do it. If you find that those two days are really hard to get through without doing it - then hey maybe you just like it a lot and there isnt anything wrong with that. Just dont hurt yourself.




how do u get stars next to ur name? thnx (Indeed)

You have to be rated by those people who ask questions that you answer.

After being rated 5 times, stars will show up next to your name. They dont get there immediately though, wait a few hours after being rated the fifth time and you will have stars that reflect what people think of your answers.
