Maybe she told him that she was going to call you but she was kidding to get back at him and called you.

Well... last night I was at a football game with my best friends. We ran into one of their ex-boyfriends. She has been trying to set me up with him.. but I had never met him before that.
Him and I really hit it off. One of my best friends went to watch the game (his ex) so I walked around with my other friend.
The guy and I were first talking.. and then he gave me a hug and we were walking around with our arms around each other. My best friend left with some other girls to talk to someone.. and left me alone with this guy. While she was gone, he kissed me... Well.. we were kissing when she came back.. and she got mad. I went to find out why she was mad... she said i could do better than a guy like him.

Before I left the game.. I asked him if he wanted to go to our school's homecoming dance with me. He said yes to me.
During the car ride home.. my friend told me I shouldnt go with him because he is white trash. She probably knows him better than I do.. but I really like him. Should I listen to her and tell him I dont want to go to the dance. or go with him and get to know him better?

You should deff. go with him to the dance if thats what you want to do. Your friend is the one that wanted to set you up so she should be a good friend and back u up.

Darrel, this guy I like, likes me back. Except...he's black, and I'm white. And my mom has already told me that she wouldn't support me if I were to date a black guy. Not because she's racist, but because of the "problems" it causes, and everyone will look at you differently. But she isn't going to forbid me from doing it, because she knows that I have to do what's right for me, not for her. And anyway, I think that the things that go along with dating a black person kind of are problems - other black guys will look at you and think, oh, she's into black guys, and other white people will look at you differently, and if they don't know Darrel they won't know what a sweet, funny, smart guy he is, and how he wouldn't ever get mixed up in the wrong crowd. But I think I might really like him. And it's wrong not to date someone just because they're black - that's racism! I guess what I'm trying to say is, I need some comfort and someone telling me what the right thing to do is, lol! Sorry about the long story, but I rate! (Oh, and I'm 14/f, by the way.)

If you like him you should deff. go out with him. Dont worry about what other people might say!

Okay I have a guy friend 'Alexander' I know Alex from my tap dance, we are in the same class together and I sort of befriended him because he was extremely nice. Well he loves to dance, and he is really gifted but all the other girls in the class are being really really mean to him. He has such a friendly attitude that he goes up everyone and says hi, even the 'In' group which he wants to be a part of so badly. I honestly don't know why he would want to be nice to stuck up know-it-alls but thats just my opinion talking there. They give him threats and say he is gay, plus all his friends at school make fun of him and call him gay also. He was so hurt when told me all this he was near tears, I felt sooo sorry for him. I feel sorry for him because I have been the only person that has been nice to him, and I tend to want to make fun of guys and call guys names.
He told me how hurt he was last week and that he had made himself come to dance that day. I do understand how he feels, My entire life I have been made fun of.

my problem is I like Alex and I know I shouldn't because i'm setting myself up for pain. I want to stay away from him but then I would be hurting Alex because he would think I didn't like him either. I try not to think of him because I know he doesn't like me and I will get hurt like all the other times before, Plus I'm too ugly for any guy.

Dont put yourself down by saying your ugly. Its good that your a friend to him when others are mean to him, that way he knows that your a great friend and he might come to like you because of you kindness. I think thats messed up that people call him gay when there are a ton of famous dancers who arent gay. Just let him know that you'll always be there for him.

Last night i went to the movies with this guy i like. He didnt make a move on me so i desided to just hold his hand. Well after the movie he walked me to my car and i kissed his cheack good night. He texted me later and told me how hott i looked. I'm not really sure if he likes me or is just kinda using me. I want to be more than just friends with him, i want to be his girlfriend. But i dont know how to, what should i say to him or ask him to move to the next level?

Just keep on dropping hints like saying how much you like him. If he didnt kiss you or anything on your date that doesnt neccisarily mean he doesnt like you it could mean that hes not ready to have that kind of relationship.

i like two guys, and they each like me. billy i met 4 years ago and we've been super close we have tons of fun together and have been through alot together... we never thought we would have feelings for each other but recently they've developed. we just started talking about gettin together about 2 weeks ago. but jacob who goes to a different school but really likes me alot and i like him too but i think they whole different school thing would be hard... i've known him since the beginning of this school year. he has been there for me through everything and he knows all of my secrets and i know all of his. we've been in our share of fights but it made our friendship stronger. the problem is i really dont want to hurt him by going out with billy becuase he would get really upset about it . . . and i dont know if i wanna mess up me and billy's friendship if we do date and then have a bad breakup. please help!!

If you dont want to jepordize either friend ship then dont go out with either of them. If you do want to go out with one of them make a list of pros and cons about each of them and chose which one you have a better connection with. Hope I helped!

OK so i'm at a new school and like i made this one fried ... lets call her susan. So susan invited me over to her house for halloween with some of her friends too. I don't know for sure but i've heard her friends talking about doing drugs and all (not planning it for halloween but talking about it in like the past sence) I'm pretty sure Susan doesn't do drugs or anything but i do think that she drinks. I don't do any of that stuff, nor do I want to. Do you think I should go to her house and take the chance? PLEASE help me... i'll rate EVERYONE!

If you go to her house and they are doing drugs and drinking then get out of there fast. Dont be pressured to do them { not saying you will}. Just do what you think is best.

I had a boy very close to me,but I moved
now I miss him ,I'm really sad,
nothing is wrong with me, I think
in my high school almost all the girls have
boyfriend,I feel really lonely.
every time I watch them do their boyfriend-
girlfriend things I cry.sometimes I just want to
kill myself .being alone is killing me please
I really need to know what I should do,because
I think guy are scare of me but I'm pretty,smart
and I have a medium body why is this happening
what can I do?
I'm desperate

Dont worry, there will be someone for you, you just have to wait until you find that speacial someone. You shouldnt look at the people who do have boyfriends and girlfriends, just because you dont doesnt mean you have to be lonely. Find some more friends! And again, just wait until you find that speacial someone.

Basically, I'm torn between two people. One is my boyfriend whom I really care about. He knows how I feel about this second guy. The second guy is a friend I've known for over a year. We both recognize that there is a real attraction between us, but up to know, we've mutually decided to ignore it.
I always feel like I can never split my time evenly enough between the two of them. When I'm with one, the other is calling me or getting pissed that I have to go.
I don't want to stop spending time with either one, I care about them both a lot.
So should I just get them both to get over it or what?

Maybe you all can get together and hang out.

You dont want to be hanging out with criminals! { well not number 1} Why would you want to be friends with shoplifters? And why would you want to hang out with someone who does pot, YOU COULD GET IN SERIOUS TROUBLE BEING BY HIM/HER WHILE SHE DOES POT!!!!!Think about it...

I have a friend,Megan which I have been practically sisters with my whole life. I've known her for 6 years and we basically grew up together. I also have this other friend,Kelsy, which I have known for about 4 or 5 years, and is also extremely close with me. Megan and Kelsy have also been close for years,too. Kelsy is starting not to like Megan anymore, due to a drunk night when Megan got with the guy that Kelsy liked. I know it was wrong, but I've known Megan for half my life and I can't just drop her like that. Kelsy might get mad if she knows that I still want to be friends with Megan, because everytime she says something about Megan, I always agree by saying I'm not talking to her anymore either. What are your opinions on this?

If your friends with Megan you shouldnt hide it from Kelsy because 1 your lying to Kelsy and 2 if you want to be friends with Megan Kelsy shouldnt have a problem with it. If Kelsy gets mad at you for being friends with Megan you have to tell her that Megans your friend too and not just her.
