okay, ive been going out with my bf for a little over a week and i really like him and stuff. The problem is, i still am in love with my ex. But the thing is, my ex is beginning his first year of high school in the fall and i will be beginning 8th grade. He also lives really far away and his high school is pretty far away too. My current bf is really nice and everything but i still am in love with my ex. When my ex found out about the bf i have now, he got really jealous. I would dump my bf for him in a second, but i dont know if that would be the smart thing to do. What should i do? Please help me! (link)
You could break up with your current boyfriend and just have fun dating and being single! It is not bad we promise =) You get to flirt with multiple boys, have girl nights, and learn how to be independent. However if you are asking which guy to choose, then the best choice would most likely be your current boyfriend. Just try your very best to forget the exboyfriend and maybe cut off any kind of connection you might have with him...no more long talks on the phone, chatting on the internet, or hanging out. Then you will get over him (hopefully) and you can start over by trying to be friends. Long distance relationships are very hard to manage and if he chooses to cheat on you, you might never find out because he does not live around people you know that would be good enough friends with you to tell you. That is just something to think about. Definitely do whatever you feel is best though and what your heart tells you. Also there are other guys out there...sweethearts and jerks...so be very thankful that your current boyfriend is a sweetie =). good-luck with whoever you choose!


how do u know if ur in love? is there a differece between being in love and loving someone? i need to know b/c i think that i love this one guy but im not so sure anymore... could anyone give me some advice on love and dating? thanx... ill rate high!!!! (link)
There is a difference on loving someone and being IN love with someone. Think about it this way...you love your friends and family and you would be IN love with your future husband. When you are IN love with someone you want to spend all of your time with them and you are sexually attracted to them. There is also a thing known as "puppy love". That is when you THINK you are IN love with someone but really you come to find out that you just loved them because you cared for them a whole lot. You might love that one guy because you care for him a whole lot, like you care for your friends and family. You will one day be IN love with someone and that person will make you SO happy that it will be impossible for you to not know that you are IN love with him. This is hard to explain but we hope we have helped at least a little bit.


i've just gotten a modeling audition for a prestigious program. I'm average looking with brown hair,brown eyes,and skin. I'm 13 and i'm 5'1. Should I do the program or should I turn it down? (link)
We think you should sit down and think if it is really what you want to spend your time doing. Our friend was in a Mrs.Texas pageant and it took up a lot of her time and money..and so will modeling most likely. If you are willing to give up your time and money then go for it as long as you enjoy it! Just remember you do not need to model to know that you are absolutely beautiful. good luck on whatever you choose to do =)


ok there is this guy I like and I need to know what all of yall think....I really like him and I think he likes me to...We are on 2 totally different popularity levels for example I am known as the coaches little sister and he is the hot gorgous football, basketball,and baseball playrer, ......What would ppl think?........(O know I shouldn't care but i want to know).....Tell me the truth what would you think?......He is older than me but it's all good cause i go for the older guys anyway.....He drives and ofcourse I don't .......I'm a little chubby and he is really skinny and has a great stomache....oh and i can't forget the muscles....What should I do? (link)
Sounds like this guy is very cute! We do not think other people would care if you two liked each other. If yall are really different they might think it is a strange combination at first, but eventually they would get use to the idea. We know many couples that are dating right now that no one would have ever expected to get together in the first place, and they are all really happy with each other. We think you should go for it if you really want to have a relationship with him, and the people that might think it is odd for you two to hook up will get over it over time. Good-luck with your cutie!


my best friend and i are at my house and we're totally bored...what are some things we can do? something with getting started with babysitting cuz thats what we're trying to do. but just send us anything you like to do for fun. thanks bye (link)
When we are with our friends we like to watch movies, make smoothies, do facials, swim, tan, paint our nails, get all dressed up, read magazines, cook, watch tv, drive around, go to the mall, relax, listen to music, chat online, call people to get together and play games (We suggest playing Guesstures or Taboo), playing a sport outside with a bunch of people, bake, rollerskate, hmm...that is all we can think of for right now. We hope that gave you some good ideas! Have fun =)


I am a 13/f and never had a boyfriend and I think think this is my chance.There is this boy who has gone to mostly every school I have gone to(were in the same grade).But I think he likes me.Its like he has been drooping clues like he stares at me all the time with this serious look on his face,he saved me one time(if thats what you wanna call it)because I was walking and I wasn`t waching where I was going so I was about to bump into the wall then he said somthing to me then that made me look up,and his friend keeps on looking at me and once he was starring at me so I turend around to look and he quikly turend around.So how do I figure out if he likes me without talking to him and can you give me information on how to tell if a boy likes you.
(link)
We know you really do not want to talk to this boy BUT it would be the best thing to do. No matter what he does you will always just be ASSUMING he likes you. You could talk to him casually and just smile and be natural. Then it will make him feel comfortable around you because it seems to us from what you said he is shy. You have to break that shy barrier or it will not work out. You cannot both be shy!! Start conversation with him (I know it is easier said than done)...maybe be talk about how yall have gone to the same schools or talk about some mutual friends you might have. You just have to be confident! Guys definitely send mixed signals though, trust me I know. If he pays that much attention to you though, then I would not be surprised if he did like you and is just scared of rejection. Next time you catch him looking at you, do your best not to look away. Just smile at him. Make sure he knows you are easy to approach and talk to by being friendly. Usually you can tell if a boy likes you by what his friends say, how he acts shy, when he looks at you, if he offers his help, if he tries to make conversation with you, passes notes with you, smiles at you, needs "help" with classwork. Do not be surprised if he sends mixed signals. He could just be shy. Remember just be friendly and smile and work your way towards talking to him and you'll figure it out soon enough.


ok so heres the thing: im WAY too quiet, shy, and boring and its stopping me from meeting new people!! like whenever someone talks to me, they say something like hey and im like hi, then... *awkward silence* so then there like whats up an im like um,, nothing. *awkward silence*. like just today i met this really nice girl at the town pool ( not like i LIKED her as in crush, cause im a girl too) and she talked to me then there was awkward silence!! what can i do to have fun and comfortbale with people!! (link)
Practice makes Perfect! You have to think quick when you are having a conversation with someone. You can prevent awkward silences by asking them a question. People LOVE to talk..especially about themselves..so ask any kind of open-ended question or what they are interested in..where they go to school...if they are dating anyone...if they play any sports...have they seen the latest Real World episode...or latest OC episode..(any tv show you might watch)...what kind of music they like. The best way to be comfortable is to keep up the conversation by asking questions. Do not think too much about if you sound stupid, if you dont look right. Just be natural and talk your heart out and smile at the person so they know you are friendly. Look them in the eye and act interested in whatever they have to say. Compliment them. After you get to know them, suggest hanging out. You just have to muster up the confidence and be yourself! Remember, Smile, Be Nice, Ask Questions, and you'll do just fine and comfortable with anyone!

ohk so i really really like this guy alot! he likes me too but he wont go out with me cause he doesnt like my friend cause she is annoying and he cant stand her, i dont blame her cause she has a really bad reputation but that still got me a little pissed cause if he goes out with me its gonna be me not my friend. anyways he had called me to go on a date earlier in the year (spring break) but i wasnnt home that whole week ... he was gonna ask me out then. School is now out and i live near his house and i always play tennis there ... the thing is that i cant stop thinking about him ... i get a wierd feeling everytime i think about him (all the time) i feel ugghhhh like i wanna scream find him just kiss him ! im too chicken to talk to him so how can i keep him off my mind for just a second ! thank you (link)
You must really really like this guy but remember a girl should never let a guy affect her THAT much. No guy is worth your tears! We have some ideas about how you can keep your mind off of him. First, friends can REALLY be a life-saver. Just hanging out, watching movies, painting your nails, doing facials, reading magazines, gossiping, swimming, ANYTHING you enjoy doing with your friends. Second, keep yourself busy..read, do chores, talk to other guy friends, sleep, shop, any sport you might play like tennis or instrument, work out...anything. If he is still on your mind maybe you should try to become friends with him. Casually talk to him, tell him to call you sometime to hang out. Just be confident and definitely no more crying! Apparently he has some interest in you since he was going to ask you out..maybe he chickened out. Have fun though and do not waste your time crying over a boy! There are so many more out there!! Good luck beautiful!


heey love (link)
This is a very big decision that you have to make. I understand that it is confusing and scary because so much can happen from it. Let me tell you something important first. Having sex will make you VERY emotionally attached to him. Most girls that hear this that have NOT had sex yet do not believe it. Both of us have experienced this emotional attachment from having sex with a guy for the first time. It is very hard because you get sooo attached and even start being really jealous, even though you are not normally a jealous person. Another thing to consider is you are pretty young to be having sex. I am not saying you are not mature, but you still might want to give it more time. Maybe wait and see if he keeps his word and visits you whenever he can. Or he calls you everyday...or he writes you or emails or gets online to talk to you. What if you give it up to him and then he slowly stops talking to you because he has a new life? Think how much that will hurt. I know you love this guy, but maybe you should test him. It is not like you will not ever see him again and this is your last chance to give it up to him. Just wait and see if he stays in touch with you and he waits to give it up to you (assuming he has not given it up yet). You have your whole life and if you really love this guy and he really loves you then you do not have anything to worry about because it will happen in the future. A long distance relationship is very hard I must warn you. I have been through that...my freshman year of highschool infact...and it did not last even though we thought we loved each other and he only lived 45 minutes away. Prepare for a difficult time. Remember you always have your friends and maybe you should date other people while he is gone just to make sure he is the one for you! Sorry this is so long =) Our advice to you is test him. See if he stays in touch with you even though you are not going to have sex with him immediately. If he puts in a good effort and you are perfectly sure it is what you want to do..then go for it and make sure it is very special..not rushed..and safe (as in condoms and all that stuff). good luck girlie!


OKay, my BF is way smarter than me. Perfects on any test and he doesn't study. I use to be known as the really smart kid but i kind of fell back because i didnt care if i was the TOP ya know? well now it seems he gets frusterated when i get a B or don't understand something. its almost like i'm to dumb for him. i really like him but i feel so inferior and when i do/say something dumb he just gives me this annoyed look. what do i do?!
i rate ^^ (link)
We understand that you really like this guy BUT no guy should make you feel like he is that much better than you. First, you should tell him how you feel if you have not already. Communication in a relationship is the key to making it successful. Then, if that does not work and he does not respect the way you feel you should sit down and really think about whether or not this guy is the one you want to continue being with. Is this his only flaw? Does he make you happy? Is he sweet to you? Just think about all that and know that there are better guys out there. No guy should make a girl feel like they are stupid. He should adore her and make her feel perfect in EVERY way. By the way...there is NOTHING wrong w/ a B. good-luck with your smarty pants!


okay i no this guy and we have been friends for a few months and he asked me out one time and then we broke up after 3 days and like a month later we went out agian and i broke up wiht him because i didnt like hi anymore and now i like him agian and he went to france and is coming back on july 8 , but when he gets bac i think he is giong to ask out this other girl (not my friend or anything) ......what should i do ...do you think he will ever like me agian?!?

signed ..reply fast !! i need hep! (link)
It seems to us like you to are not meant for each other since yall are so on and off. Of course there is always the possibility that he might like you again BUT would you really want to put yourself through all that breaking up and getting back together again stuff. Thing how many awesome single guys there are out there just waiting to be snagged. You should try your best to get over this guy and move on to someone who would give you a more stable relationship. Our advice to you is to move on and have a good time being single. If he wants to date this other girl let him. He will be missing out on you and some other guy in the future will be lucky enough to win over your heart. So get on your cute clothes, be confident, and find yourself a new guy! goodluck


my parents are being soo mean to me and i cant stop crying.! i havent gone anywhere on a friday since june 7 and they say i always ask for everything.. its not true and i cant stop crying..please sont say talk to them! i dont know what to do.. they wont let me go to my best friends surprise party and he is moving in 1 week help me please (link)
Okay first thing is first...you need to stop crying and calm down. Relax, take a bubble bath, give yourself a facial, and Relax. Then instead of talking to them, show them how much you want to go to this suprise party by sucking up to them. Help out around the house, clean, be super nice and have super good manners (please, thank you). Then (even though you don't want to), try talking to them. Be very calm and mature though and do not start screaming, yelling, or crying. Say something like " I would really appreciate it if you let me go to my friend [insert name]'s surprise party because he is moving in 1 week, and it would really mean a lot to me" ...you might even offer to tell them where he lives, how long you will be gone, and a number that they can reach you on. I know parents can be EXTREMELY stubborn so maybe no matter what you do they will still say no. Just remember be very calm and as mature as you can and they will be more apt to listening to you. good-luck


OK, i am 14, and just going into highschool.I am going to an all girls school. I have never been boycrazy, i havent even gone out with a boy or anything. I do have a lot of friends who are guys. I really want a boyfriend, but going to an all girls highschool will make it harder. I am also an EXTREME tomboy, and i'm not really fat, just bulky and muscular. How do i get guys to like me? And what can i do to get a bf when im going to an all girls school? help me, i rate high!! (link)
Congrats on being a freshman in highschool! Even though it is an all girls school, I know you will have a great time. Do not even worry about finding a boyfriend! Make some new girl friends first and enjoy the sports you are in. You can meet guys just about anywhere, and they will like you as long as you are down-to-earth and friendly. Do not be shy! Just dig up the confidence you have and talk to any cute boy you want to. Just stay social and go out like to the movies or mall or ...to a friend's house...they might have a cute older brother (you never know!). Just remember you have to be patient! Usually the special guy comes around when you least except it! good-luck
