Thanks for your advice and feedback to my question. I thought I'd ask one more thing, since your advice was so helpful.
It seems a bit strange to me that I am getting mixed signals from the guy I went out with and felt an intense connection with. After he spent the night, he asked me if I wanted to meet up that night. I already had plans... So fast forward to last night, when I didn't get straight answers from him on wanting to meet up.
I don't get why he would constantly want to hang out, and even ask to see me the night after he slept over, and then turn lukewarm on me. I hope I'm just looking into things too deeply... But part of me thinks he's backing out since things moved fast. Any thoughts? (link)
| |
It's possible but you can't get into his head to see what he thinks. Regardless, he isn't the one based on all you indicated.
|
I recently met a guy... things were intense. We connected on a deep, emotional level from the beginning. We hung out three days in a row, and I felt so comfortable with him. He ended up spending the night after our third date. Things were so natural and unpretentious from the start.
I am in limbo with my masters program though. I am on the verge of being dismissed, and he knows that... I was stressed about it and we talked it over. I was even stressed after he spent the night. But things were so easy and natural for us. I have never had such a deep connection with another guy before, it felt so amazing.
So fast forward to today, when I texted him:
Tonight, i texted him to see what his plans are for tomorrow. He said he might meet with a friend then asked what i am doing tonight. I told him plans for tonight fell through, but I could meet for a bit before he headed out to some party. He told me he was working but would let me know how he felt. Then texted me later on saying he was going to take a nap before heading to an all night party. SO.... I texted back asking him to let me know if he wants to meet for a bit before, otherwise I could hang out tomorrow.
I haven't heard from him, it's been a couple hours and I know he's out now which is cool. But I don't know what to make of the vibes of his texts? He hasn't initiated anything, aside from saying he'll let me know what his plans are later...not asking to hang out. I don't know if he is losing interest, or if i come across as clingy? I just felt this incredible connection with him and don't want to lose it. (link)
|
Let him approach you. See what he does this week or you will seem clingy. However, I do think the writing is on the wall.
He's no longer in to you. If he was interested in you don't you think that he would have taken you to that all night party? I don't buy that he's working either as he has been giving you an excuse every time you mention hanging out.
My advice is to try an salvage your university program and get help now with that and forget this guy. Sometimes life is like that we have connections with people at first that seem like they'll last and then they unfortunately die out.
The other thing is that he could be the kind of guy that's a pig. I mean he could be a creep who appears to connect with a girl and then has nothing to do with her post sexual encounter. i hope not but just making you aware of the possibility.
Here's what I would do: wait a week and let him come to you without you texting him PERIOD for any reason and see if he has any real interest in you.
Then if he doesn't move on as he'll drive you nuts and waste your time which looks like he's doing. You don't need your feelings crushed by someone who is too cowardly to say "You're a nice girl but I'm not interested."
I know you don't want to lose that intense feeling and brief connection but I know for sure that someone better is around the bend for you that you'll really feel passionate about.

Srry this might be a little long. Well I have a friend her name is mia (not really but just easier for me). Well we have been friends for a long long time. She's like my best friend. Well we've been goin to different schools since we met, and she meets my friends at birthday party's. Well we just got an instagram and mia decided she wanted to exchange numbers wit my friend. I was ok wit it at first, but now they talk all the time. I've meet Mia's friends at her birthday party's too, but I don't like her friends that much. For some reason she likes my friends and it's annoying. I want her to know some of my friends but not all of them. Now she knows all my closest friends and I don't know what to do. I told her that I didn't like how she tlaks to my friends so much but she never wants to talk about it. Someone please help me soon!!!! (link)
| |
Relax. There is enough friends to go around here. You can't dictate who her friends are. I think you are fearful of being ditched or replaced. Your friends like you both. Just right now they talk with and see each other more because its all new. If you get mad at them or her it will be the only reason they would ever have to not include you. I would keep my mouth shut and realize that they like you and it doesn't matter who knew whom first. It's selfish to want to keep them all to yourself and not her anyway. I know you are better than to hang on to jealous thoughts much longer as that will kill your friendships fast. They can sense it and animosity.

ihave been told i am bipolar does that mean i have two personalities (link)
|
Who told you were bipolar? Unless it's a doctor you most certainly aren't. Let them diagnose you. Being bipolar means that you have depression plus constant mood swings from depressed to elated that keep cycling back and forth.
On top of the mood swings you will have if left untreated grandiose thinking, irrational thought and beliefs and outright delusions. If that isn't happening to you than you are alright. If you had it you couldn't function at all until the manic episodes were treated.
People with bipolar do not have split personalities unless they have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist with multiple mental health issues. If concerned you have an issue like that or bipolar as described above consult a doctor.

Super random question ha.
18/F not that it really matters.
So my dad went food shopping last week and got me 4 boxes of Souffers mac & cheese that you heat up in the microwave. He had gotten them out of the open freezer in our grocery store so he thought since it was open that it was actually the refrigerated section and put the 4 boxes of mac & cheese into our fridge when he got home.
It was no more then 10 hours later that I noticed his mistake and moved them to the freezer.
A few days after I did that my mom came to visit and I was telling her about it and she said it might not be safe to eat them now and that I probably should have just kept them in the fridge and cooked them at a lower time. She says it could go either way, they might be okay or I might get sick if I eat them so now I'm worried.
We don't exactly have money to be throwing around so I really don't want them to go away but I don't wanna find out they're bad by throwing it up (which my mom joked would happen).
So the question is, what does anyone else think? Do you think they're still edible? Our fridge I'd say is a little colder then most, if you put an open cup of water in it for an hour or so, the top layer of water becomes frozen, bread that wasn't completely wrapped tight becomes hard as a rock (compared to bread in zip locked bags that just gets cold, not hard) (link)
| |
If they were meant for the freezer and it's been out for 10 hours don't eat it. It has likely gone bad. Eating it could mean food poisoning. This is especially so of food with meat in it and holds true to any frozen meal also Your mom wasn't kidding about throwing up either. While you don't like throwing money away it's needed here as food poisoning is nothing you want part of.

Lately I've been feeling like I'm falling back into my depression after just being taken off prozac 25mg (being only 14 that takes a lot out of you) does anyone know the signs of it? Please let me know so I can see my doctor I really hate the prozac because it changed my entire personally to something different and my doctor even told me I might devolp split personallity so any ideas? (link)
|
You NEED to return to the psychiatrist who treated you for depression the first time and tell them you're feeling overwhelmed and have the same symptoms as before. Tell him/her you need help as these symptoms NEED to be dealt with immediately as they do become progressively worse and can cause a crisis.
Also, you must be or most likely experiencing physical discomfort, depressed thoughts, inability to focus, anxiety which is part and parcel of withdrawal that comes from being taken off of these type of drugs.
I KNOW you don't like Prozac so you NEED to tell the psychiatrist that it was right to take you off of it for the reasons you told us but that you need something to stop the depressed feelings that will do that but allow you to function. He/she may need to try a different anti-depressant and adjust the dosage with your input until it's right and you feel normal and can resume your routine.
I have a lot of experience with mental illness and treatments and psychiatrists and haven't heard of a situation where any drug they put you on could cause split personalities.
If you were at risk of that the doctor would have told you so which they did but it's an actual mental illness that is not caused by any drug.
If that's your biggest fear (getting it) get a clarification of what the doctor meant about this and his diagnosis and ask him/her how they can stop it if you are on the cusp.
They are probably telling you this for your knowledge but have an active plan on how to prevent a problem with it by providing the right treatment. They're on top of it believe me and won't let that occur.
Your situation is interesting about havin

Well I'm in gr7 and the gr11s really don't like me because I used to like a guy in there class. But that was 3 years ago!! Anyway the one girl in there class does modeling with me and she's my role model and I don't think she hates me but the rest do. Next year they initiate us and they all talked about how they going to get me and they will make me suffer and they keep saying I'm a slut and they always skeef me its 3 girls. The one girl(micaela) I dated her brother. I'm really upset tho,don't want to go to school,and I've been crying myself to sleep :( oh and they don't say it to me they say it to other people. I'm a virgin btw. (link)

You are 100% better than them. You NEED to tell your parents and teachers about this. One of the core things they are looking for is getting a reaction out of you for their sick amusement.
If you can show them that you don't care what they have to say (even if you do) they might find another target and give up on you.
When it comes to bullies they usually are incredibly troubled people and their home life may not be great either. They may be taking frustrations out on others or jealous of talents and other attributes you have that they lack.
I always tell kids having been there with severe bullying that and if the bullying is strictly verbal to consider the source of it as an idiot and their words not true no matter what they say to you or others. The more you do that the more they can't get to you.
If their bullying turns physical tell an adult you trust, defend yourself no matter what, and file charges against them for assault same deal with e-mail, social media, phone calls and that will stop that garbage.
In the meantime you may want to log on to a great anti-bullying site that I stumbled upon LINK: http://www.bullying.org for information, support and tips you can put into use.
But definitely tell adults what is happening to you at school and see if they can handle these brats for you or find a solution where they can monitor the situation and step in.
Adults NEED to know how scared you are to even set foot in school and exactly who threatened you with violence and making you suffer mentally and physically either now or next year and have that person charged by police for utterance.
The definition I have of "skeef" is that people steal from you to piss you off and either give belongings back or keep them. If they are doing that have your parents and the school know what they took even temporarily so they can get them for stealing.
You don't have to put up with this BS. As far as initiation, bullying etc. goes all schools have ZERO tolerance policies so they need to be punished and you have to take a stand against them. Get adults you trust, teachers and counselors behind you.

So basically, I like this guy and he's really shy. When he found out, he used to act all cool and you know act like he liked me. But suddenly, people started saying that he likes me and he stopped talking to me. Then i told him im over him and he started staring and blushing at me alot and I caught him really often. But now my teacher has made me sit with him and he totally ignores me and i feel like he hates me. People say he's embarrassed but maybe he just hates me? Please tell me what you think about this :) (link)
|
ASK HIM. Seriously, go directly to him and ask "Is it just me or are you not talking to me for some reason? Did I do something to upset you?" See what he has to say.
Maybe he does like you but being shy just has a hard time admitting it and doesn't know how to talk to you. Let him know you don't bite and if he likes you it's okay. You do too.
With introverts sometimes you need to do this as there is anxiety there. He's probably just scared. You need to break down his defense wall. Also, if you tell someone you're not in to them it pisses them right off (it always will) so maybe he's hurt and or confused now that you have changed your position. You need to talk to him to figure out what he's thinking.

Hey im a 15 year old boy from London.my family go away on holiday with 3 other families every year.i get along well with a girl my age in one of the families.i just broke up with my girlfriend cus she had kissed another guy and this friend was really there to help me.shes decent looking and fun to be around,so i am thinking of startin something with her or at least trying to,BUT if things dont work out(which they usually dont at 15) everything will be very awkward.also if our families find out it would be very embarrassing.i cant stop thinking about her so any advice would be appreciated!i just feel lonely since i broke up with my girlfriend and it would be nice to feel wanted by another girl:) (link)

The world runs on what IS and not a hypothetical what IF. You have to live in the moment my friend especially with dating or you will lose out.
Yes, she's a family friend but you guys are so close that you actually have a better basis and background to start a relationship on than others have. You know each other inside out by now. This has a real shot provided she's interested.
Ask her what she thinks and explain your initial reluctance to approach her about it. I'm sure you'll both be on the same page.
You can't worry about anything falling to crap later either as it's not something you can control either way nor can she but go for it! If it didn't work out I'm sure because of family history you'd always be friendly. It will be fine.
Worry about now and not something that may not happen later. Who knows maybe you'll marry her in several years. If it feels right to you talk to her about it and try things out. She's a better choice as a partner than anyone else would be for you because as I said earlier you know one another inside out by now. Nothing to lose here.

I got a new boyfriend but I'm not sure if my parents will approve. he is so nice but he has got tattoo's and piercings. my parents will judge him immediately and not let me be with him, even though he has got a steady job, he treats me amazingly and i love him loads. he is two years older than me and waited until i was 16 just so that it was a legal relationship too. i love him but what do i do if they won't let me see him again??!! (link)
|
Let's face it no matter who you bring home your parents will always find faults because nobody is good enough for their son or daughter in this case. It's just how parents are.
Here's what I would do. I would explain to the boyfriend that they are conservative to the hilt and don't like piercings or tattoos so you're nervous about the first meeting.
Then have him arrange with his parents to have dinner with all of you together with them so they can meet his family and see he's from good parents and is a responsible and decent guy tattoo or piercings aside.
And yes, I wholeheartedly agree with what the previous advice giver said about judgment and book by cover so I won't rehash it. If you introduce him in this manner your parents will see him in the same light you do.

hey guys so my boyfriend and I have sex and fool around. after sex and "fingering" is it normal for the "inner flaps" of the vagina to swell (not huge but definitely swell) and feel raw? thanks so much :) (link)

NEW INFO REQUESTED/ADDED Jan. 22 As Follows:
We can't directly reply to feedback left on our columns or answer questions left there with feedback unfortunately. It's designed so as to keep all of this anonymous and confidential. Hopefully you'll see this when you look back at brand new responses as new info you asked me for.
If your genitals are raw, irritated etc. etc. and it hurts WAIT let it heal properly, and don't do anything other than bathe them when you shower or bath until they do. From then on make him be gentle or it will be an endless painful cycle until he learns that it actually hurts.
You will be fine then. As for fooling around and sex don't until healed. Keep it above waist and yes, sex every day is a little much slowing it down isn't so bad. When it comes to guys we're ahem rougher with our genitals and some of us haven't figured out or weren't educated that women's genitals, folds, etc. are way more sensitive. Just point it out to him that "I know you didn't mean to hurt me but this is too rough.."
Also try wearing underwear (cotton) or pajama bottoms only at night that allows that area of the body to breathe more. It may help it heal but it won't if your genitals are stimulated in any fashion while blood raw or sore. At least that's what I read on Scarleteen, and medical sites about that while researching.
MY ORIGINAL ANSWER IS AS FOLLOWS:
Ouch. Like the previous poster said it will be fine. However, you should tell your boyfriend that it's to rough and your female parts are delicate. He needs to know you are blood raw down there.
You need to communicate to him what you enjoy on your own so he can adjust from hurting you inadvertently to having you enjoy it without any pain afterwards. Swelling is normal as that can also happen to labia from the activity and arousal in general. Overall you're fine. No worries.

I've finally accepted that I was sexually assaulted by my uncle (in law) at the end of 2012. Right after it happened, I was sort of in denial and wasn't planning on telling anybody what happened. But I know what happened and it's dawned in on my how hard it is to deal with it. I'll be fine sometimes, and the next second I remember what happened..it's like a nightmare that you don't wake up from. And it makes me feel horrible about myself. I embarrassed and scared how this will turn out. But I know that I need to tell somebody now. I just can't do this on my own anymore.
I recently talked with somebody on the RAINN hotline, and it helped, but mainly they said that I should talk to my parents about what happened. And part of me does what to tell them. But at the same time, I don't know how. I'm not all that close with my parents, and my mom is not a very emotional person. She is a very tough person, and sometimes she can't give me the emotional support I need. And that's part of why I'm worried about saying anything to my parents. I'm afraid that she might not be able to help me in the way I need. Also, there's not really a trusted adult in my life that I can talk to first. The only adult that I was ever really close with is my aunt, but she's the sister in law to the person that abused me, so I don't feel comfortable telling her either.
Idk. In a way, I feel like I'm being selfish for wanting somebody to help, for needing support. I'm a very strong person who's gone through a lot, but this...it just kills me a little more inside every day. The decision about whether I should tell somebody is important. Because I know that everybody always says it's the best thing to do, but am I the only one who's ever thought about the consequences? When/if I tell, how am I supposed to ever look my aunt in the eye again? How can I break up their family and cause so many problems? I feel like if I did tell, then it would only cause more problems then if I was to just suck it up and deal with it on my own, no matter how hard it is. I've dealt with things like this on my own, and even though I'm a pretty screwed up person, I am strong. I just don't know if I can get through another day of this. There are times when I'm ready to tell, but I can't bring myself to do it (link)
|
Honey, you have ZERO to be embarrassed about and NONE of this is your fault. You can tell your parents ANYTHING no matter what it is and they will get you the support you need.
It will be emotional and not easy but it really has to come out. He could be doing this to others. He's the selfish SOB here and not you. If it breaks his family up it's his fault and not yours. Don't protect him and your aunt can deal with it and needs to know. The only one who should have trouble looking her in the eye is her sick bastard of a husband. Period.
There's secrets you never keep and this is one of them. If it's hard to reveal face-to-face with parents at first write a note and leave it where they can see it. All it need to say is "I need help and have a lot of trouble trying to talk about it but I was sexually assaulted by someone we're related to and you need to get me the right help." They'll know what to do.
If that's still hard corner a teacher you have a rapport with and tell them someone sexually assaulted you and you haven't been able to find the ability to tell parents yet and would like them and a school counselor to help break the news to your folks with you.
You can also visit your doctor and have them confirm you were and with consent tell your parents with you present or you can go to police yourself.
Don't keep it inside. Your life is just beginning and with the right professional support you will be able to move forward and while painful it will not consume you years from now. Staying silent lets this guy think he has a sick victory and will never be caught. If there's other girls close to him this may prevent other victims. You absolutely need to tell someone for your own health and overall well-being.

I have a huge crush on my math teacher, she is young and extremely hot and I like her personality. She is 28 and I am 17. Unlike other sissies, I went and told my teacher at the end last year my attraction to her and how she is the girl of my dreams. She said "Come back when you're 18 and graduated" that must mean she was willing to go out with me after I graduate! I was so excited, but now, just six months or so before I graduate, I find out she has a boyfriend! What? , I am so sad and angry and jealous now, I feel sick. She might as well have stabbed me, it would have hurt less. Why would she trick and betray me like this? (link)
|
It was a JOKE! She took your comment in that light knowing full well your age and hers and that no such relationship could EVER happen at that time or in the future even if 18. You however, took this as literal when it wasn't. She didn't betray you.
What you MUST understand is that your lust for her then was fantasy and technically okay so as long as you never made it into reality. It's the same thing now as an adult. It's a fantasy and lust and you have NO shot of that with her now as you did when a kid. She never lead you on. She made a remark meant as a joke and that's all.
She's always been entitled to be married or with whomever and has no obligation to you nor has she betrayed you. If unable to see that as the truth it may be a good idea to tell a therapist this thing with your teacher as it's NOT a normal way to be thinking.

I have been dating a guy for awhile now and we recently started having sex. Everything is great in that regard except for one issue. He likes me to go down on him every time we have sex. I don't mind it and actually enjoy it, but I think every time is a little much because in my opinion, it will get boring and repetitive. On top of that, he does not go down on me. I don't believe that to be much of a problem since I've never really been into it, but I'd feel better if he'd at least offer. How do I navigate this touchy situation in a still new relationship? 25/f (link)
|
Perhaps he doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to returning the favor or has some kind of hangup about it or female genitals. If you can rule that out than I would talk to him.
You could ask him nicely if he has ever done that type of sexual activity with a girl or if he was embarrassed or had a negative experience in the past.
Tell him it's something you really enjoy but not all the time and would love to be surprised now and again with it. This way it doesn't come off as accusatory or putting down his efforts.
You can tell him things you want to try from positions to whatever else and make this a talk about ways to always make things different and change it up. I think he will be open to it then.
As far as you always doing this act for him tell him you enjoy it but like him doing it for you that you don't want do it each time so that it's always fresh and exciting for you both if it just suddenly happens in the moment. That's one way to take an upbeat approach.
But yes, as far as I'm concerned he should be reciprocating but I think he's got a hangup or lack of or no experience with it. I bet that's why he's never initiated it. Probably not a selfishness thing but you know him better...

Mike grew up mormon, but he left that religion a few years ago. Mike and I have been dating for a few months now, just recently we started getting sexual. Last night we hung out and it started to get hot and heavy, we ended up naked in his bed. He grabbed a condom and of course it takes forever to put them on so by the time he had it on the mood was dead. We started making out to get him hard again but after awhile, we were tired of trying, he could not get hard. I was so confused and bummed so I asked him if it was my fault he couldn't get hard, if he was even attracted to me. He said he is definitely attracted to me and the problem is that his old religion (mormon) always gets in his head at the worst time and messes him up, hence why he can't stay hard.
I don't know what to do about that! It has happened both times we have tried, so we still haven't had sex yet. It's not that i'm mad about the sex, it's that I know it upsets him and I wish I could help him somehow. I can definitely get him hard and stuff, but when it comes to the actual sex part its like his brain takes over and he can't anymore.
I don't know much about the mormon religion, but if anyone does I would love to hear if you have any insight on any of this, or any help you can give me.
Thanks! (link)

Tell him that it hurts you a lot to see him so upset and worked up regarding sexual activity and what negative things he may have been taught still affecting him. Ask him to TRUST you fully and try two things.
There's a product that you can get from an adult novelty store that was specifically designed for men who can't achieve or in his case maintain an erection for sex. It's a ring that slides to the base of the penis and traps in blood until such times as intercourse is complete.
That could really help him. Also, ask him about any medication as that could have been the real problem. Just tell the adult novelty store that you need rings for this erection blood flow problem and they'll understand what you mean.
It has a vulgar slang name for male genitals unfortunately that I would probably get in trouble for printing here. It's a universally available product and every adult novelty shop has them.
Next, this sounds like a psychological thing about sex that needs to be addressed with couples therapy. You could suggest going to therapy together to address his religious teachings/hang-ups and how you both can move forward to enjoy sex together as you really want both of you to be comfortable and enjoying.

Me and my friend (call him Paul) always flirted last year but he had a gf. (i already feel terrible for doing that, dont say anything about it please) But they broke up and we started talking more but now he likes this other girl. In the process of them talking, we stopped. I miss talking to him like crazy. I really like him a lot but I dont want to ruin that girls chance with him. He is a great, wonderful, perfect guy and she is so nice and pretty. I am happy for both of them but I still like him. I dont know what to do. I have been staying out of it but i dont really want to anymore but I could never do that to the girl he likes. What should i do? i am so confused (link)
|
Let him know you value his friendship and want it to continue even though he's with someone else. If he knows you are a great friend and values that the friendship part of your relationship will continue.
He may not have spoken to you as the relationship is new and may feel as awkward as you do. If you hang back and be a friend to them both you never know what could happen for you if it goes south. It very well might if he realizes the connection with you is stronger.
For now hang back but I have a hunch it will turn out the way you want eventually but yes she deserves her chance. If you remain friends and he gets flirty while with her put the brakes on. He doesn't sound the type so no worries.

K so a few months ago, there was this thing between me and this guy at school. He lead me on and and I initiated some as well. So when he made further plans if we could go on a date and stuff, i of course said yes. But then
when it came closer to the date, a few days before it he cancelled and bailed on me and said that he just couldn't go through with it at the moment cause he still had feelings for this girl that he never went out with. So of course I felt hurt and disappointed , but eventually I moved on and didnt give a crap about him. But then today, he came up to me after weeks of not talking to each other and asked if we could talk. He said that he did a lot of thinking and that he wanted to give us a try again and said that he was really sorry of what happened.
So then he asked if we could go on a date, and of course me not wanting to say no and disappoint him I said yes... It was a spur of the moment kind of thing . So now here after a few hours of thinking I just don't have a good feeling about it.. Like now I just keep doubting that I may not have that same strong feelings for him as before ... Help !
P.s that girl never liked him back in the first place and he supposedly told me that that girl now has a boyfriend and that he and her are now on good terms and are friends (link)
|
If your gut is giving you a bad feeling about going on a date OBEY that thought. It's usually right. If he jerked you around making you think you were going out on a date before to cancel in favor of dating another girl what does that tell you about him?
He has a lot of nerve and isn't too bright to come crawling back for a second chance with a girl he should not have treated this way before. He has to learn his lesson and see that he was wrong. Unless you want to get hurt don't give him a second thought or chance to trod all over your heart. He's bad news and doesn't treat women right. This time cancel with him and tell him what he did last time was the reason.

I am 13, in the 8th grade. I took a different class this year, Career Orientation. My teacher took us to the computer lab to look up the job we've had in mind. I 've always been very creative so I thought I would search for graphic designing. I have my own laptop (obviously) and I make movies with it all the time. I absolutely love making movies, my parents have told me I would excel in this subject. But I was just wanting to know what kind of classes do I need to take and what do I need to study in order to become an awesome Graphic Designer? Oh and do I need to go College? (link)

Why not study film if you like making movies? I did a search on graphic design programs on Google. This site is for college and you can click on the blue course code links to get an idea of what you would study in college for graphic design. http://www.centennialcollege.ca/thecentre/designmedia
Hopefully that helps and yes you will need a hands-on college program where you actually do projects from day one and not just theory or lectures given in university. It has to be practical and yield job opportunities.

I'm 15 and i've been dating this really amazing guy for a month. Whenever i see him i get really shy. We both want to kiss but i'm too shy... What do i do? (link)

It's okay if you are shy or nervous about this as it's all so very new. Understand that he's your partner and not someone who you should feel uncomfortable with about anything.
He's not going to laugh at you and likes you for you. Just be yourself with him as that's all you need to do. He's probably as nervous at you are about that first kiss. You just have to relax.
Tell him that you are an introvert and if you come across that way with him it's because you like him but have to get over being shy. He will understand. As for the kiss let him know this is a first for you and that you're wound up over it but really anticipate it and want it. Ask him to guide you step by step. You should be fine.

This the follow up to a question I wrote earlier about the guy I had a crush on that asked me to play basketball with him. Well I asked him if we could play on Saturday but he said maybe but I have a feeling that we won't. And its not like hes going to be busy he said he was just going to stay in the house all day. I don't get it. It was his idea he brought it up about playing not me. Why bring it up if you don't mean it. Why flirt or stare at me but never make a move. I'm confused why do guys do this? (link)

Tell him how you feel about him jerking you around and playing with your emotions. Ask him why he flirts and tries to get your attention but cannot commit to ideas for getting together that he proposed.
If he can't give you a solid answer than move on as he will forever be doing this to you. It could be that he's unsure of what he wants or something else in the way. I don't know which. I do know one thing don't waste too much time on someone acting like this towards you.
