If he was a nice guy who treated you with respect and valued your friendship then you would not be asking this or be depressed. He only wants sex from you and does not care about you. He is not worth your friendship or being depressed over. Girls attach themselves about a million times more to a guy emotionally when they have sex. Guys have no such issue usually. He has no emotional tie to you, but is a jerk who will use you for sex and then be mean to make sure you know it did not mean anything to him. You are hurt because you have been rejected much more harshely this time and he turned out to be a creep. You are hoping he will change and you don't want to admit that he probably always was selfish. When you are ready to see him for who he is, then you won't want him anymore. You move on by giving yourself forgiveness for being taken in by his charms and learn from the experience. He is not your friend, and he does not want friendship from you. He is like gum on the road, a reminder of what once was sweet, but now just something yucky you need to step over and avoid.

You might be right or you may just need a break! Tell him you'd like to spend a few extra days with your friends, but don't break up. See if you two miss each other or are glad for the separation.

Too early to plan that far ahead! Way too early! Concentrate on the present and get your head out of the clouds!

Are you lowering your standards? Being his doormat? Stop it right now! Tell him you are not going to wait around for him and that he needs to make a choice. Someone can only break your heart if you continue to give it to them! Take back your dignity and control of your life. If you lose him, because he does not value you, then what have you really lost? Nothing! You can't change someone by hanging onto them. You only get dragged around! Let go and see what happens.

I would not tell him that he "can't" do anything, but make it clear that it is disrespectful to you to hang out with a girl that dissed you and continues to ignore the fact that he is taken. Tell the girl that you understand that she is attracted to your guy, but that she needs to find her own guy, because she is making a fool of herself. Don't let on to her that you are hurt or jealous or vulnerable in any way, because she will enjoy that power. I would even laugh at her a little with my friends and boyfriend for her desperation. The last suggestion is a little iffy, but there is a saying: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." If it works for you, you could befriend her, but always you would have to watch your back. This would help you know what she is up to, and possibly take the thrill of going after your guy down a notch. She may have a crush on him, or just be a girl that only wants what she cannot have. Suggest another guy to her. Tell her, "I bet you could never get (whoever) to go out with you." She might just take the bait!

He is definately too old for you right now. He could go to jail for statutory rape even if you consented to sex. It is NOT NORMAL for a nineteen year old guy to go out with a fourteen year old girl. He WILL end up pressuring you for sex, I guarentee it. Do not go to his house. If you want to date him in a few years that will be different. Every year difference is much more dramatic the younger you are. Five years won't be a big deal when you are BOTH adults. Right now you are still a minor child and he is legally an adult. He should not be pursuing you, and he could even be lying about his age and be older! That happens all the time! Stick with guys around your own age by a year or two at most, and you will most likely have more positive dating experiences. You will have a billion chances to date older men in the future, but now is your time to date guys your own age and at your own pace.

If your expectations are realistic and profitable then tell him. However, if you would be devastated by his rejection and think he is not interested in you, then take it slow. Once you put your heart on the line and say the words, you can't take them back. You can always say, "Hey, you are a pretty cool guy, and I'm glad we can hang out." Or whatever, just keep it no pressure, and not overly done. He will respond to you and perhaps give you a clue as to how to proceed from there.

The problem with one lie to cover up a truth is that it never goes away. Sometimes the one little lie multiplies until you can't even remember the details of the lies and get caught in the web. Guilt can be another biggie, that won't go away and affect you in other areas. I am a fan of the truth, unless it is unnecessarily cruel to another. Your brother will probably have his insurance go up. Lying to the police and insurance company about the details of the accident can get you into trouble. You might consider telling your parents and letting your brother off the hook. It is often really hard to do the right thing, but taking an "easy" path sometimes leads to the worst place.

So the husband had more chances with the number of times, but if the other guy has faster swimmers...which I don't have any idea, then it could even the odds. I always got pregnant about three days prior to my ovulation, because my body is like clockwork. You could have your husband take a sperm count test at another doctor office and say he is having fertility questions about his sperm. Can you share the info. with the other guy or does it matter? Since you are married and planning on keeping the baby, would your husband be okay with your baby if it technically was not his sperm? I would just want my husband to get a paternity test before the baby was born to end the stress of the unknown. Reality brings a lot of consequences that fantasy conveniently escapes. I am not judging you and that part of it is over. What is important is concentrating on making the best of the situation and being there for each other and the baby. The baby will need an actual commited father more than he or she will need to know who the sperm donor was. If the two of you can live with it, just be at peace with the miracle that has been bestowed on you by the universe, no matter the details of the conception.

You obviously made a huge mistake to think that you should have any sexual contact without condoms and any other necessary protection. You could be carrying either or both men's babies if it is twins...unlikely, but possible. The sperm have to travel and the other guy's sperm could have already reached the egg before your husband's made it there. A paternity test is your best bet if you continue the pregnancy. Your husband and the other guy could also get a sperm-count test to rule out any infertility. I would suggest a full STD check as well.

He has no trouble playing with your feelings like a yo-yo, and it is not kind. Forget him and his manipulations. You deserve and can do better.

You need to wait until you are not his student before going any further. There is a great risk of jeopardizing your grade and academic standing and his job, if it was reported that a student and teacher were personally involved. He is probably attracted to you if he is staring a lot. I don't know if there is a great age difference or if he is married or with someone else, so be aware of those things. Also, if he crosses an ethical line while you are his student, it probably is not the first or last time such a thing has/will happen. I would not pursue a relationship until you are certain that he can be appropriate and wait until you are out of his class at least.

The easiest way and quickest to get over one guy, is to start paying attention to the other hundreds of guys available. You are sure to find nicer guys that are cute, too. Forget the meanie, and don't let yourself get used again.

You just have to ask him casually who he is taking to the dance. If you are already talking or hanging out with him, then it should not be a big deal. When he tells you, you can ask if the girl is a friend or girlfriend. I would even hint that if she can't make it, you would be willing to be his back-up date as a friend. Tell him to have fun and play it like you are just a good friend until you see your opportunity.

If you are worried about being pregnant, then you should look into what emergency contraceptives are and the risks. Call the doctor who prescribed the medicine to find out more information about the specific dosage of your pill. There are a lot of different ones that women can take, and I don't know your pill or your health. Taking too much of any medicine could be harmful, so check with your physician first, or if you have already done it, call them to see if you are okay and for further direction.

You can get cold sores (a type of herpes) inside your mouth, too. Sometimes these are caused by stress or allergic reaction to walnuts for example. Sometimes having dental work or biting your mouth will entice a sore to break out, but the virus is in virtually everyone. Some people are just more prone to the reaction. Just like warts are caused from a virus (not from toads) that most of us carry, but only certain people break out with them. All true viral sores are contageous.

For those that would rather sit and talk, get chairs together in a quieter section and place card games, funny conversational items and pictures out. Everyone says they hate party games, but usually they end up rejuvinating a weak party moment, so have something silly planned. Guys love competition, so think along those lines. Prizes for games are a must! Voting prizes are fun to. You could have a ballot box for anonymous voting for cutest couple, best smile, wildest dancer, whatever! Make sure to have nametags, too! You could even color code them and then tell people to meet up with their matches and dance or talk with them, or have a prepared question you have to ask the other person...just be creative, people love having the pressure off them to think of stuff to say and do. Your party will be the best!

The bumps don't sound like a yeast infection, so especially if the medicine does not clear it up in a few days, then you have to at least call a doctor. There is no reason at all you should not get medical help, or at least talk to a nurse-hotline or someone at a free clinic. You need to take your health and your body seriously. You may have little cuts from scratching, but I don't know. Are the bumps from shaving and ingrown hairs? That's all I can suggest. Get better!!!

Words that mean should not be coming out of his mouth. Instead of telling him to shut his mouth, tell him that saying those things to you really hurts and that you don't need to hear that debasement from someone who is supposed to be caring. Talk to another adult about this, maybe an aunt or someone who is nice. The good news is that you can be out when you turn eighteen and I would start planning on it. You don't need to know everything to know that he is mean, and you don't deserve that treatment from anyone. Try to ignore his comments like you would a barking poodle or a hammer in the distance. His words have no meaning in reality, and they are proof of his own self-worth, not yours. The eyes may be the window to the soul, but the mouth is its hearth. An icy soul speaks coldly and a hot soul will make your ears burn. The wise and healthy person keeps a balanced temperature and radiates words both true and kind.

"Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable. To say something you value deeply to another and to have him or her value it equally by listening to it carefully and apppreciatively is the most universal way of exchanging social interest or demonstrating affection." David Augsburger, CARING ENOUGH TO HEAR AND BE HEARD.


All sincere persons will be given thoughtful examination and reply. Please be specific about your situation as it applies to your question, the applicable information and facts necessary for me to properly assess your situation and give you the benefit of my knowledge and experience, which includes: experience/education with mentoring, relationship study, self help, spirituality, poetry, literature, philosophy, psychology, color theory, teaching, parenting, and debate that will be used to your advantage. I am concerned with offering an objective and realistic perspective more than ratings, because this will help YOU. Artificial sweetness is found in diet soda, not in my advice. If you feel that I did not understand your question or need more specifics to help, please let me know, but while all truth is subjective, questioners should be mature enough to hear answers not necessarily agreed with. If you are only looking for someone to tell you just what you want to hear, then you may not be ready for my advice. I believe in personal responsibility, self and other awareness and your power and ability to recreate and redirect your own life. All our misery and joy begins and ends within ourselves, but our willingness to be open can bring the positive or negative energy we seek. If you or someone you know is open to positive help, the resources and caring individuals needed are available now.
