march 13 2011 marks a year of me not seeing the one my heart desires. a year. how is it possible for someone to feel this way for someone else over a long period of time as if it was the first time seeing them. i mean during this past year i think ive even fallen deeper in love with him when nothing even happened between us. & overall he's my STEPBROTHER! its not right! but in the 2 years ive known him he's been one of the most amazing guys i have ever met. is this an obsession? well he IS physically attractive but its his heart & the little things that lure me in... i WANT to tell him but things would get even more akward. what should i do?? Any advice is MUCH appreciated. thanks. -female 17 (link)
awww(: haha I actually think it is sweet! I love hearing stories like this. Don't feel bad about it! I mean you aren't related in blood(: so thats good! Well I was actually gonna say it could just be a faze (however you spell it) like I have even heard of stories that cousins liked each other! Infact My two guy cousins that didn't know we were cousins liked me! haha so I think you should tell him how you feel. Try to think of a lot of things like this. One I have heard of were a guy and a girl are going out like around teen years between 13 like me and 17 like you and then their parents meet and get married! So I really think you should tell him(: Why havn't you seen him tho? and another thing that could help you boost your confidence on telling him is to look up situations like your's on thes computer:D I hope this helps and good luck!!!


My teacher is 27 and he always asks me do I like him if I'm alone with him. I do have a crush on him, but I never tried to do anything with him and I never will. Sometimes I blush when hes around but that's it.If I go to the restroom and Im tardy to class, he will take me to class and he acts weird, he asks weird questions, like he asked me did I love him in front of our class. He will get really close to me and ask me do I love him and if I say no he just says that he loves me. I cant tell if hes serious sometimes or if hes just playing. Sometimes he makes me go in the hall so he can talk to me about nothing thats important. He calls me his girlfriend in front of teachers and students and they just laugh at him. I don't know if hes playing or what. He'll be in class teaching and put his arm around me. I don't think he'll try to do anything but sometimes he gets close to me and its really uncomfortable, even when I back away. He just stares and smiles at me alot. Or he'll walk over to my desk and stand there for a while. I'm a pretty strait forward person, so after a while I turn around and ask him what he wants. He'll ask if I need help or something.
Maybe I'm just overreacting but I just wanted to know what somebody else's opinion was about the situation. Please answer, thankyouuu!

Oh gosh! I agree you are not over reacting that is not normal behavier! Teachers aren't suppose to be even teasing you like that Especialy asking if you love him all the time! And taking you in the Hallway just to ask you stuff like that. He has a serious prob. You need to get help. You said he is 27 how old are you like Are you I college, highschool,
or middle school? It's still wrong for any age but it would be really wrong if your like way way younger! Anyway I hope this helps good luck(: keep me informed if you need any help!


15/f

There are two boys that treat me strangely. I want to know why. They're both the grade above me and are kinda clowns, but not the kind that everyone finds endearing. Some people love them, some want to punch them, ya know?

The weird stuff they do--

-Teasing me about things involving sex. One of them kept saying the weirdest things, and honestly I think it was to make me blush. Why? Because the redder I got, the happier he looked. Very, very awkward. The other does sometimes too, I think.. I don't quite understand the things he says, but my friends say it is. Either way, whenever I get confused he just laughs and says "nevermind."

-Acting like they want a high five, then pulling their hand back and laughing. I get annoyed and call them jerks. A couple minutes later they will force me to give them one.

-One always sings some kinda song to me and tries to scare me by hitting my desk when he goes by, the same one that tried to make me blush by talking about sex.

To be honest, these guys don't seem like the sincerest types on Earth, so I'm sure it isn't attraction. Why pick on ME, though? :/ The biggest compliment I've ever got on my looks from a guy was that I "am alright", so what the heck? Are they just getting a thrill from teasing someone who is admittedly rather sheltered?

Sorry that this is so long. Thank you very much though for reading all this way and, if you answer, for answering. :) I appreciate it a whole lot. (link)
I think they like you:P but I think because they know that you are younger they pick on you. I really don't know how to explain it. But like have you seen on movies where the older guy is in love with the younger girl and he kind of picks on her in a kinda flirty way or talking about love. Like in your place. So I think that's what they are doing. I must say that is unusual haha .But hey there is a good explanation! So instead of getting red joke back and I know sometimes you can't help blushing but hide it with comming right back with the joke or like what ever they they Are saying! So when you come back. If they like you they will probaly flirt back or If they were just picking on you to be mean they'll back off!! Haha I hope this helps good luck:)


Hey there. I'm fifteen/f and my boyfriend is 16. Our two month anniversary was something like 2 days ago, he's awesome, cute, etc. but he's my first boyfriend and I have no idea how to approach the topic with my parents. I'm pretty sure that I'm allowed to date, even though we don't have any concrete "rules", but I'm just petrified to broach the subject with my parents. I'm really close with my parents, we talk about common interests and stuff, but not really about personal stuff and I'm sure telling them would be really awkward. I'm just afraid they'll tease me (they will) and that they'll want to meet him and embarrass me and such and such. I'm just worried that when I tell them they'll (especially my mom) be really hurt that I didn't tell her as soon as it happened. Can anyone help? This is really, really stressing me out... (link)
Trust me I totally felt the same way lol it is akward but now it isn't and I talk to my mom about this all the time btw i'm 13 so im close to your age and I understand! about it so last year I got my first real boyfriend like hugging holding hands dates ect. but and I had his pic. on my phone my sig had to do with him and I still kept it from her. I felt awful to keep it from my mom but I new it would be akward because when I was in third or 1st grade when it wasn't true relationships just calling yourself bf and gf she would tease me but anyway back to what I was saying about my first real bf last year and keeping it from my mom well my school Chorus went on a field trip like 2 hours away from our school to a mall and then we had to preform and him and his 5 other friends were in a group and me and my friend were in a group and my mom chaperoned and it was the day b4 valentines day and I hadn't got him a present and he had got me one and I freaked out and when I would see him in the mall his friends would be like hug your gf and it was embarrasing well we left the mall and went to the performance and after it I knew I couldn't hold it off so I told my mom and it was great and she was cool about it and now i come to her with all my guy problems(: So tell your mom(: ok? It'll work out!! I hope it all works out let me know if you have any questions GoOd Luck and congrats on your first bf -Madison Sara!


Hey everyone, I am really desperate (I really am) and I need some advice!

I'll try to make long story short. I'm 20 years old and my best friend is 15. I've known her since childhood but we've been friends for about four years now. I sort of fell in love with her soon after our first play-date; she was 11 at the time. It took me about a year to tell her how I felt and I didn't get much of a positive feedback. At first she didn't like the idea at all but she couldn't stop thinking about it. She told me many times it was never gonna happen. She had always wanted a brother and she found one in me... But as time was passing I couldn't help but notice she felt something for me as well. Most of the time, though, I wasn't sure whether it was just my misinterpretation of her 'brotherly emotions'. Anyway, I was always too afraid to make a move and see where I'm standing. I didn't even know if I was SUPPOSED to make a move or wait for her to do it first. I had never had any experience with girls before. So now, four years later, things are still the same.

Almost the same actually!

In the past six months she has given me some clear signs that she wanted to be more than friends. We sometimes talk or text about it, she tells me it may be a good idea for us to be together, but then she backs off! A couple of times she even said she loved me. She also said there were times in the past when she wouldn't have backed off if I'd tried to kiss her...

The worst thing was when we 'cuddled' on this bench in park. I found her literally lying in my lap after a while and we almost held hands! But despite the OBVIOUS sign - I was gutless to do anything about it! And I hate myself for that till this very day!

So I have missed some perfect opportunities and now I'm not sure if it's too late! I also don't get to see her very often so when I do - I need to be ready to make a move! But I don't know if I will be! So what do I do? And how do I do it? I’m just really afraid something could go wrong… but at the same time I know I might be letting something great slip! I wish I could just knock on her door on a random day and go for it! But I don’t know if she will be in the mood… So I’m really freaking out. Time is passing and I’m just standing still.

I’d appreciate it if you could tell me SOMETHING that I don’t know. Anything! A word of advice of encouragement! Whatever you think might help me pound on an opportunity!

Well, that’s about it…

I guess I didn’t make the long story short after all.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Don't give me any of that 'she's too young' crap. I'm not asking to have sex with her, just to date her. (link)
I love your story I think it's sweet lol(: and I understand about your problem, I would try asking her to hang out then maybe buy her something like a stuffed animal or Flowers, then I would be honest to her even if somethings may be brutley honest and could make her a lttle mad but she will get over it! Now I am thirteen but hey I am a girl so I know alot how she feels, by reading what you said it seems likes its not that she wants you all as a "brother" figure, it's just like me I always like to have older boys as friends and call them my brother and things it idk just feels good to be able to say that, like take into consideration, does this girl actualy have an older brother, or if she does are they close maybe not, that could be one thing why she wants to call you her brother figure, so I think after you ask her to hang out and maybe buy her something tell her the truth and that you really like her and express to her that you know that she looks up to you as a brother but honestly if you went out that you would still be lke a brother that you would still care for her and protect her but there would just be kissing
(:, I think you'll be great just do what I said I think she will really fall for you(: and things will work out great! I know I would like a guy to do that for me! So I bet she will like it! Good luck! if you have any questions feel free to ask. -Madison


hello its me again well i was gonna go for it i was gonnna tell him the truth he texed me on the day i sent you the other msg and we were talking and he asked what i thought about him and i told him i thought he was cute wich i have never told him before and i sent it i was gonna tell him in the next msg and all he replyed was alot of girls tell me the same thi ng so that kinda killed it so i didnt do it then he texed me all day the next day but i couldnt tell him so he texted me yesterday all day and i was gonna tell him then he asked for my cus my cus is from cali hes never seen her in really life just in pictures but shes one of those will do anything girls not to be mean but its true so he asked to talk to her and i passed her the phone him and her were going out just through facebook he stoped talking to her because she wanted him to talk bad about me and he said he would never do that so he stopped talking to her plus there a chance she might be pergnet by another guy so anyway they were talking threw my phone she asked him if me and him were going out and he said no then she asked y is he lieing and he said hes not he not into me like that not now or ever boy did it suck to see that msg so i dont know what to do do i try to move on or what because i have no idea he doesnt know i saw the msg my friend said he madey just said it to make her happy but im sure he just doesnt like me (link)
Hey lol and I understand my guy did that to tons boys are scared to tell their real feelings trust me my friends asked if he did and he would say no but thats typical trust me, but you still need to tell him even if he isn't interested in you, when you tell him make sure you say understand if you don't like me back. Even though you will be upset say that so he will think your fine and hopefully you can still stay friends because he isn't gonna not be friends with you hey he showed courage telling your cousin he would never talk about you bad. So still tell him let him no wether he likes you or not because thats what I decided to do so you can get it over with and stop worrying!(: Let me know what happens(: -good luck!


I am recently engaged, and also completely lost. Not in the planning, i am in control of all that. My husband to be's mother is more or less a nightmare. Unfortunately she found out about the engagement on facebook after we held the news from most of our friends and family for 2 days, because she and her boyfriend were too "busy" to call us back or pick up a phone. Let alone she may be his mother but is never really around, she lives in Indiana and i in NY. I feel like i should include her in the day, but how do i deal with her when she gives advice besides saying thanks thats a good idea, i'll write it down. Do i invite her boyfriend? or do i sit her with her ex husband and his girlfriend? His parents are not so much into the wedding that we have the idea for. I do not want an over the top wedding, but unlike his family, i also do not want a country hick wedding. HELP!!!! i need serious ideas. (link)
Hi there I am young and don't know anything really about wedings but, I know a girl always dreams of getting married right? Now remember your not always gonna get your way, you need to take the good with the bad and talk this out with your fianc`e if he really loves you he will understand(:


i like him, but what do i say when he asks me out? (link)
I would say Yes of course(: and have a smile on your face and id your shy don't worry he probally is too. Now if it is by texting put Yes of course;) with the winking smiley because as you probaly know it is flirting!!(: hope this helps!! HaPpY HoLiDaYs(:


There's this girl I hang out with a lot. We've known each other since we were little kids. We grew up together and we're both 15 now. For 4 years now I've fallen for her hard. I daydream of her all of the time. I dream of her at night. I can't get her out of my head. I love everything about her from the way she smiles to the smell of her hair when I'm close to her. I always seem to find myself making excuses to see her more often. I feel like I'm obsessed because my feelings for her are so strong I can't have a proper girlfriend (I always end up being distant to them, not really wanting to date them, and dumping them early on because of my lack of interest).

I've kept these feelings a secret but sometimes I think I should tell her. I'm afraid she won't feel the same though, and I'll end up ruining the friendship. I know I sound like such a wuss here but the emotions are so intense and I've kept them in so long.

What's the best thing to do in this particular situation? Should I tell her and risk everything? Should I keep this stuff bottled in? (link)
Oh my lol I was just like you!!! I really feel I can help. Ok so I felt the same way as you same things dream about him (I am a girl so I am gonna say him) and all of that and I kept it bottled in for 4 months and I finaly burst and I think you will to not to be mean but i sounds like you got it bad! just like me! Ok so does she show signs of liking you? my guy did. I was still scared to tell him though. Anyway if she shows any kind of signs thats great. Now I think you should tell her, I knew I should tell y guy but I didn't like I said for 4 months but I really showed signs of liking him though so much that everyone about in my grade new I liked him and some new he liked me. Now if you tell her dont just be like hey I like you or something of that sort I brought up a converstaion first so he would say who do you like first so if you told her after she asked then hey it isn't your fault she asked right? Now this guy was my bestfriend just like this girl is your best friend. So I think you should text her or say facfe to face and be like So do you believe in going out with someone in your same grade same age because I do, and she will reply and be like no or yeh who is you like? (or really it can be anything you want to say to her to get her to ask), then I said because I was so nervous"don't be mad ok" and he replied and said i Promise tell me!!! so I said you. Then guess what he said he liked me too.!!! So see I think your results will be good, and I think you should tell her and do what I said and everything will be good! -HoPe ThIs HeLpS(:


so i'm eighteen girl and i dont know whats wrong with me but i'm always feeling really crappy. i'm not sick or anything. but i just don't feel good. as in, i'm not happy. all of my friends are always hanging out and making plans and they ask me to come with but i always say no because i'm not in the mood to be around people and i always just want to go home and sleep and be by myself. what is wrong with me? i used to be so social and happy.. now i'm just always in a bad mood. yes there was a lot of crap that happened in the past, so that could affect my mood. but that was in the past, and i'm trying to forget about it and move on. but i just can't seem to make myself happy again or in a good mood. i used to love shopping and going out to the movies. now all i want to do is come home and lay in bed. what do i do to get myself back to normal??? (link)
Sometimes I am like that too. I lost my bestfriend because she just I guess you could say turned bad. Now this year is my worst year and I hang out with a group with a different personality then me and I try to fit in, and it is hard this year I have had people stealing from me very expensive stuff, and just uggh. I think to make you get yourself back to normal is a best friend I know you have them but try making friends with a guy I have a best guy friend that makes me happy all the time and I can always say I don't know what I would do without you and he is someone that always says he loves me and I think that would help alot. I know you have friends (girls) but try having really close guy friends they are kind of an extra more i don't know how to explain it but that really helps. If you don't want to do that I agree with this try getting a boyfriend that turns your whole life around(: Also my best guy friend was my ex(: see boys can come in handy.!


u just answerd my question and you told me to go for it and ask him out but what if im not his type my not ugly well i dont think im i think im kinda perrty but his last girl friend was sporty but girly plus they say shes really perrty because she has a body and well i have a body but i also have body other places im not huge with no curves im kinda big with curves and hes a vert sporty guy he play in a team sport he would always invite me to see him play but i never went so after that he stoped inviting me so yeah we get along very well but im still not sure cause im not very shy either but i not sure i can do this (link)
OK so your trying to get his attention ok thats easy First of all i see you say you are kind of big, don't worry about that that is no problem there are girls at my school that are big and they are cheerleaders and they are popular!! ok so thats not an issue. Now you say he has invited you to his sport game and you didn't go. I am glad I am able to help you cause that was a big oops but it can be recovered~!! like two boyfriends ago I went out with this boy and we had first met at school last year and i liked him and we became friends and it was the begginig of school and he invited me to his baseball game but I didn't go but it was only because I was having a sleep over that night, but what I did and you should do this to is text him or at school and say hey so how is baseball (or whatever sport he plays) and make sure he knows you still care and tip don't wait for him to invte you to his game text him and be like hey so when is your next game!?(: see that shows you care. Now You say his previous girlfriend was really pretty and sporty don't worry there is always a solution the guy I like now allll of his exs were popular from cheerleaders to star basketball players on my school team. Don't let that get in the way though because they guy I like now he said a while ago he liked me too and I don't play sports I used to play soccer and next year I am going to be a cheerleader for my school but he don't know that yet and he still likes me! so don't worry about that ok let me tell you becuase all of my past boyfriends were sporty and popular so see anyone can do this. Now you don't think you can do it!! YOU CANN!!! haha Trust me I was freeaked to tell the guy I like now that I liked him but I finaly did and I got good results. Now there is one more thing you could do I will tell you and it just involves everyday conversation and it woun't look like your trying at all. Ok so this method I made up during a sports game at school with my friend I made this up to be funny to help her get a guy and turns out it worked. Ok so this is what I told her. Guys love it when you use the word sexy haha its just funny be like hey your shoes are sexy then laugh or say I love my sexy shoes. That may not work though it depends I guess becuase we had an inside joke at our school...but another thing is when your around him and with friends goof around and say something funny about him and he will be like what did you say then you get into theis goofy conversation and end it with looking straight in his eyes if yuou know what I mean and I think that will help tremendosly trust me you can do this!! ok let me know how this works out and please keep responding back!(: -thanks!


i have this friend and everyone says we should get together because were always fighting but we always fix it before the day is over this happens in school we dont really talk out of school iv asked question about him already on this website and they all tell me the same thing his into me and i like him back but i dont know what to do about this were on break now so i havent seen him but when we get back how do i get his attention how do i get him to tell me how he sees me without asking im kinda shy when it comes to that and he doesnt think i like him even though i do im just that good at hideing it so i dont know what to do now ? (link)
Hey I understand you completely let me tell you what I did when I was in that sittuation. I was so in love with this guy I was shy, and trust me I am not usualy shy. So I didn't want to admit I liked him. One day I thought i was gonna lose him after something happend at school and I couldnt take it anymore and I started crying and he asked me what was wrong and he said that I could tell him and I did and guess what he said he liked me too!!!!!!!!!!! (: (: :D so I encourage you to tell him please because I was shy and didn't want to tell any guy I liked them and trust me if your friends think he likes you, you think he likes you and if he acts like it telllll him! trust me most likely things will turn out great!! remember what I said! I went through it too.


I really want to get a kitten. The problem is that I have allergies, mainly seasonal allergies.So my question is, what breed of cat can I get that won't bother my allergies? I really want to get a cat from a shelter and not a breeder. So are there any types of cats that I can get there that wont bother my allergies? (link)
I honestly don't know of any but if you will go to google and look up hypoallergenic cat breeds and that will help tremendusly because hypoallergenic means that they don't shed and they aren't bad for your allergies because I have allergies too and I have an inside dog thats hypoallergenic and a cat two that is also hypoallergenic!!!! I hope this helps!


This will be long....

So first off ive never even kissed a guy and i'm in sophmore year...some of you will think oh that's not bad but it really take a tole on you when all your friends have and all they talk about is guys and their boyfriends =(, I have the smallest boobs ( they won't be getting any bigger because of my genes) my mom was small too. ANyway those things make me very self concious.But anyway i reallly need your help trying to undetstand this guy.
So me and this guy started talking and well everything seemed to be good but i don't know if this is normal things guys do. They text you one day saying" lets hang out" and the next day they don't text you for days making you sit there and wonder if you did something wrong. I really didn't even care that much I basically was like ok whatever. but then he did it alot.like i will text him ( and the other way around) and i'll say something and he won't text me back for a loonng time. He always asks how my day is I'm just confused should i wait I mean i'm really not going anywhere aha but still is this good bad? I try to wait a while to text him back maybe like waiting for me you know? Can you give me ideas making him want me like he does to me?? thankyou (link)
Hey I really understand I am only 13 but trust me alllll of my friends have kissed guys too!!!!, and I feel miserable and my most recent boyfriend I had wanted to kiss me and I FREAKED out haha and said no.I regret it to this day, but I can make a guy like me in one night trust me i've done it before let me tell you have There are 2 methods I have and trust me they both work. Now one what kind of guy is he? Is he the one who gets in trouble alot or is he the good type or the sporty type?? oh and before i get into the methods about the guy not texting you back for long periods of time wella guy i liked a while ago before he became my boyfriend he would be doing the same thiing so don't worry he's just doing something because he still did that when we went out. ok so back to the method. Like I said what type of guy is he? ok so the guy that I tried this on and it worked over night he is goofy and gets introuble alot ok so this is what i did, I texted him and just said hey whats up then he replied and said I am out eating, now work with that i thought hmm, and came up with an answer that sounds like his personality I said oh sounds good I am starving my dad fixed supper but i didn't eat because he ticked me off, then he replied your a little rebel. So see that worked I was getting on a good start. So what I basicly did was take his personality and built it in to what i said and I had fun with it and by the end of the night he asked me out. Now wasn't that simple(: If you don't want to do that then here is another way but it will take more then 1 night it took me a month or 2 once and one time it took me 7!!! but it was worth it ok so. Step 1: does he play sports? If your guy does go to his games!!! guys love that! trust me! now number 2: guys love it when you give them nicknames! I did it and it worked now nothing stupid try animal names such as monkey, thats what I did. Now threee FLIRT! (: (: (: that helps majorly!! and another so so thing if you mess up or try to show off guys think its funny so don't feel bad it's helping(: I hope this helps girl!!! (: good luck!

thnx in advance

TINK2359 (link)
Dear Tink23359, I love your post because the same thing is happining to me too. I told the boy i liked him he said he liked me before that we were best friends and sadly now he don't talk to me. So from my expierence I can help you get him to like you the way the boy i liked liked me. Step 1 does he play a sport? if he does try going to his games, trust me guys like that. 2 Guys like it if you give them a nickname nothing stupid but every guy i have liked i have gave him a nickname and some how we've connected by that. Try unique animal names, Thats what I used such as monkey. Next try asking his friends what he likes such as sport teams ect. Then text him and express you like the same team or just pretty much share his likes. Another thing is guys love it when you flirt! trust me. Last try to spend as much time with him as you can!! and make sure you look straight into his eyes and trust me he'll look back:) ps. guys love it when you try to show off or you mess up! ................hope this helps girl(: I know how you feel
(:
