Hey,
16/f
Okay so I've had 1 previous relationship before that lasted 5 mnths however he ended it and then began to play around. I know at this point i could get him back easily because he wants me back, but I don't want him back as he's a player.

Trouble is that was two yrs back now and I'm wondering if I will ever find that special someone? Guys have been know to call me 'fit' round college and there are many nice ones there but i am shy. what shuld i do? Any advice welcome (link)
You're young and you have plenty of time!
Trust me don't rush it and you will find someone. When I was 16 I was in such a need of a boyfriend because my friends all had a boyfriend. So even if a guy looked my way or flirted with me I was so thrilled. I even got a boyfriend senior year and I was so happy that I did. Little did I know it didn't mean anything. I really had no feelings and no communication with this kid. It was more of the fact that I was holding the title of 'girlfriend' that made me feel special. I wasn't happy though. I thought is this what a relationship should be like? It wasn't what a relationship is really like.
For years and years I was looking for one guy to be with one guy to make me happy. And when I stopped looking my prince showed up. I love my boyfriend with all my heart, he is everything that I have been looking for and need. He showed up when I least expected it and that's what was so great.
You're young enjoy life you have plenty of time to find someone else and there are plenty of fish in the sea.


Before I start, I am looking for any advice or any opinions from anyone, negative or positive I don't care. And as many answers as I can get also.

I am 17, Female. Senior in high school.
I am a virgin.
I've only had one serious boyfriend, Sophmore year, and it only lasted 4 months.

I don't have any sexual experience, and this bothers me. I would like to have sexual experience, as well as loose my virginity but I don't have the boyfriend experiences. I'm not very attractive I suppose that's why i'm not liked by guys ever/ or rarely.
I'm tall and skinny which i don't think there's anything wrong with, but I don't have a pretty smile, I need braces badly but can't afford it, and I think that is why people find me unattractive, which I don't blame them because I hate my smile too. I also have small boobs, that could be why? Or maybe i'm "too skinny" I don't know..
I just want a guy to like me, ask me out, and for us to do things together :P to put it bluntly.

By the way, this isn't for society, or for the pressure, or because other people are doing it, or whatever else. this is because I want to.

Anything helps, thank you (link)
I think you are way too hard on yourself!
How do you expect to get a guy to like you if you don't even like yourself? Confidence is key! Guys find confidence to be a very sexy thing in girls. Work with what you got, I'm sure every girl in the world has omething they don't like about themselves you know? I personally don't like my hair because it's thin. You know what? I work with it. I love me and I love who I am. And if someone doesn't its their loss in the end. You have to be confident with you and who you are.

Me and this girl were really good friends, I told her things about a guy i used to be friends with a few years back, a lot of "secrets/personal information" And she promised not to tell anyone about it especially him. Well she ended up texting him all the time, and tried to become his friend. Then one day when I wasn't at school went up to him and said "you really need to text her she complains to me about you all the time" My best friend told me that he overheard their conversation. So i texted her after i found out to ask her why she did that and she freaked out saying that my best friend was a liar and all this stuff. then went to bed. I was going to forgive her if she said sorry within the next few days, but she didnt she freaked out about it more and turned it around on me like it was my fault and now we arent friends anymore. It's been almost 3 months and I kind of miss her, I don't know if it's because all of our friends are friends besides us, which makes things difficult sometimes. I just wish she would apologize to me, what should I do? Try and be her friend again, or what? (link)
Why would you want to be friends with someone that treats you like that? Not to mention why would you want to be friends with someone that didn't even say sorry to you? A real friend doesn't treat you like that. A real friend admits when they are sorry and begs for you to forgive them. If I were you I wouldn't try to pursue any further friendship with her because she obviously wasn't a good friend if she was treating you like this. I understand you miss her, but just because you miss her doesn't mean that you need to be friends again. You also can't make anyone say sorry to you its got to come from them!


On December 30th 2011, someone from a dating site that I am on asked me out. We went to dinner, and hung out and we immediately hit it off very well. We’ll call him Connor. Connor seemed like a great guy. So that night, against everything that I believed in, I asked him to my family New Year’s Eve party at my house for the following night. He said yes, and the next night he came. Connor did not consume a drop of alcohol the entire night. My family loved him and so did all of our friends. That night, as he got into his car to drive home, I told him to call me when he got home (which was an hour drive) so that I know he made it there ohkay. I tried calling him, and did not hear from him until 4pm the following day. He told me that he had gotten cut off by a drunk driver, drove his car up a median, and had to wait for AAA to tow his car to his parents’ house. His parents were out of town for the weekend. He called me frantic, and said he didn’t know how he’s get to work in the morning without a car, and that his parents were going to have to cut their vacation short to come and bring him money. I asked him how much he needed, he said $180, so I gave it to him, and we both agreed that he would pay me back the next day when his direct deposit hit his account. That was Sunday. I did not hear from him again until I believe Thursday. He called me saying that he had been in and out of the hospital, getting surgery for pinched nerves in his shoulder and he asked if I could come pick him up. He told me that he had the money he owed me. So I drove up there, picked him up, and he handed me a check for $410.98, written to me from his aunt. He asked me to deposit it into my account, and give him the remainder. This request struck me as odd, but I did it. I expressed to him, at this time, that I was upset that he hadn’t gotten in touch with me earlier. On January 10th, he called me at 2pm and said he has a surprise for me: he was going to take me to the Jets/Bruins game in Boston. He knows I’m a huge fan so I immediately said yes. He asked me to bring $280 in cash, so that we could pick up the tickets from someone from ACE tickets that he was meeting, and that we would then have dinner with his family at a restaurant and his father would reimburse me then. So, I drove an hour+ to Boston, picked him up, and drove him to the supposed location of these tickets. I handed him the $280, and he said he’s be right back in 5 min. I waited two hours, he never came back. I’m not familiar with the Boston area, so I panicked and called him quite a few times. He answered for the first hour, and kept saying that he’s 5 min away .. but he never came back. For the last hour, he stopped answering his phone, so I just went home; out of the cash, and out of the tickets. I have not heard from this guy since. I have tried texting and calling him. I don’t have an address for him. All I have is the address for his aunt that was written on the check. My friend’s uncle in a police officer and said that there is absolutely nothing that we can do because its “his word against mine.” But I was hoping if any of you could find something in this story to help bring this jerk to justice, I would really appreciate it! Thank you for reading, I know this was lengthy! (link)
As much as I hate to say it I think you should just take this as a lessoned learned. It's true what the police officer said to you it's your word against his. He could come back and say you stole money from him or you owed him money.
I was in a position like this at one point with a girl I concerned to be a good friend. One day she calls me on the phone hysterical and says she needs money. I feel bad so I lent her $160. She told me she would pay me back. She hasn't paid me back and so as much as I want that money it's better off to forget it and forget her.
Don't contact him and just take this as a lessoned learned and don't let anyone get money from you unless you really know them!


How do you say yes to a guy when he asks you out? (link)
You are thinking about this way too much. Do you like the guy that asked you out? If you do than say 'yes'. It's your choice on whether or not you want to kiss him on the cheek or lips after.


I have definitely asked this question before, but I need some advice and reassurance as well.

I am sixteen, and I am a junior in high school. My boyfriend is a senior, and we have known each other for a long time, since I was a freshman, but he and I have been dating for six months. Our relationship is absolutely fantastic! We have a good communication and stable trust, and we get along pretty well. We barely ever fight and the conversation is always flowing. And on top of that, he is respectful, patient, funny, and always goes out of his way just for me. It's like I have the perfect guy.

I'm going to dwell a little personally and say I have been in a series of bad relationship after bad relationship. A lot of the guys that hurt me cheated on me, used me, and played so many games with my head. I was very naive and childish. Eventually, I started to stay single for a while, and that's when I started falling for my boyfriend. But anyways, I have always been a little insecure and sensitive. I get a bit upset when I am offended, a little too much. I used to close my boyfriend out and not talk at all, and he'd eventually pry it out of me, but I grew out of it, realizing he cared. But lately, I have been more neurotic than usual. I get pissed over little things, and I take it out on him and get very sensitive. I feel so horrible afterwards because I feel like a bad girlfriend that doesn't deserve the awesome guy she has. He does everything in his power to make me happy yet I continue to be stiff and quiet and snappy when I get upset or something over his jokes or actions I find mean. I hate this feeling and I almost broke up with him today because I feel like he deserves better.

He told me he loves me and he signed up for this, and "by god" he will "fight" for me no matter what. He really wants to get me through this but I am scared I am too down to look past it. (link)
You can't keep living in the past!

Forget the past and stop bringing the past up in your relationship. It's going to make everything worse. This is a new relationship with a guy who treats you well so don't bring up the past!
You could possibly be depressed, sometimes instead of being sad we show anger instead. It might be that things that irritate you everyday or every so often get you in a bad mood. And instead of going off at the person who is causing the problem you go off on your boyfriend because you'll know he'll take it and he won't fight back.
Sometimes when we get upset or anger we take it out on the people we love. I think you should talk to someone like a therapist and maybe get down to the real reason of why you are angry. Before you get mad just take a deep breath and think of why you are about to get mad and is it worth it?

Good luck :)


Ok so i was dating this guy, he was really sweet and kind. You might even say the perfect guy. So we were dating for like a month and his dad found out (he isnt alowed to date yet) and so we were pretty much forced to break up.. I really like him maybe even love him, but i have a problem. So there was a time that I wasnt sure that he still liked me after we stoped dating so i got a different boyfriend.. he didnt like that very much. Its been a couple months since the break up and he hasnt moved on he still likes me and he isnt interesed in any other women.. I need to know if well if i should stay with him.. to keep liking him untell we can be togther. I have been with two guys since then and well its just not the same not even close to what it I had. Please help!! Thx :) (link)
You have to ask yourself some questions?
How important is this guy to you? How much do you care about him? If he's worth it and you care a lot about him than wait for him. The choice is yours, but remember waiting for him doesn't allow you to date other guys that might piss him off. Think about how much this guy means to you and how much he makes you happy :)


It's been a year since I broke up with my ex-boyfriend (we were together for 2 years), but I still think about him every day. Last summer, we reconsidered working things out and ended up kissing again, but in the end, he told me that he could not handle being in a long-distance relationship (we were together in high school but we go to different colleges). I was hurt because it felt like he was telling me that I wasn't worth it. I thought that no matter how difficult long distance is, he'd try if he really wanted to be with me. The thing is, I'm the one who broke it off in the first place because I couldn't see myself being happy with him in the future, but now I feel unsure if I did the right thing. I can't understand why I feel this way. He told me that he still wanted to be friends, but then he stopped talking to me all of a sudden. It's been a few months since we last talked, yet I still can't stop thinking about him. I guess I just can't let this go without knowing why. If he had told me from the beginning that he didn't want to be friends, I would be fine right now. I just feel like I deserve an explanation at the very least, not just a cold shoulder. My best friend thinks that I should try one last time to talk to him and clear things up, but I think that it'll only worsen the situation, since I'm pretty sure that he no longer cares whether I'm alive or not and he's probably with someone else already. I realize that I have no one else to blame but myself for being in this situation, since I'm the one who chose to break up, but I feel really lost right now. It's seriously affecting my concentration and everything else that I do. I really need some advice, please. (link)
I've been in two situations that are very similar to yours.
The first situation I was telling my ex that I didn't know if we were meant to be and that I didn't feel like there was a 'spark' anymore. I found myself getting bored of him. We broke up and I don't if it was the rejection or if I just was uncomfortable being alone but I didn't take it very well. I talked to him and told him he should take me back. He denied me. He told me let's be friends. He would ignore and treat me like I was a nobody. I couldn't stand it and it broke me. I had to go through a lot to get him off my mind. What I did was I pointed out to myself the things that bugged me most about him and the things that I originally could not stand. I knew there was a reason for why I wanted to break up with him but I guess I forgot it because I was so hurt by the rejection. I believe everything happens for a reason. I wasn't meant to be with him.
However there was this other guy who I had feelings for, for awhile anyway. I couldn't help but wonder what was to become of us. I was with him for a short while and made the decision that I didn't want to be with him because I was scared. I always found myself making excuses because I was scared of getting hurt. These feelings I had were none that I had experienced before and were intense. Well I made a decision that I could no longer be with this guy and I broke up with him. He took it hard and he didn't speak to me for awhile. Soon after I thought of what I had done I realized I made a huge mistake. I called him and called him. I was upset to say the least. This time I knew that this guy was not someone I appreciated enough and never took the time to tell him how afraid I was of losing him in the first place. I was lucky enough to have him come back into my life again. I'll never again make the mistake of making a quick decision like that.
I know you are probably wondering why am I telling you these stories. It's giving you perspective of what can happen when you make decisions and what the consequences may lead to. Do you really believe this man is someone that will be in your future? Can you imagine living without him? Can you see the two of you building a family?
Right now, you might be thinking more with your heart but try thinking with your head. Does this guy bring anything to the table? Did he make you want to be a better person?
You should know your worth and no one else can define your worth. You need to think about what you really want. Some people can't handle distance and I know I've been there. It gets to a point where you have to decide what is best for you. Some guys stop talking to their ex girlfriends because they still have feelings. They don't talk to us because they don't want to rehash anything and they don't want to hurt anymore than they do. If he said he doesn't want to be with you than you should respect his decision and don't push him anymore. The only thing you are doing by bringing it up again is just ignoring what he said. How would you feel if someone kept trying to talk to you and your answer continued to be 'no'? Take this and learn from it. You might be feeling rejected and that doesn't feel good.
Try to take your mind off of it I know its difficult! Maybe you could talk to a friend or a therapist or maybe someone you trust. It can be hard sometimes to let this go and you eventually will let it go and move on. Right now what you need to do is think with your head and not with your heart. Try being positive and maybe hanging out with your friends. Good luck and cheer up :)


I was with my boyfriend for quite awhile yesterday. Today, he was sick with the flu. I haven't felt sick all day, Now about 8 pm, i start feeling a little sick to my stomach. Is it possible that he could've given me the flu. or would i have gotten sick sooner? (link)
It's hard to really tell! I mean of course if you kissed your boyfriend than chances are you were more likely to get it from him. However if there has been a bug going around than you might have caught it suddenly. The best thing to do is get some rest and take care of yourself. You want to make sure you drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. I hope you and your boyfriend feel better!


16/f
Okay so I deleted my ex off my facebook account as I now feel ready to move on.
I go to college, and it seems increasingly where I am he also is, whether with his friends or on his own-and its a massive college.
He tried to speak with me but I just gave abrupt answers.
The worst thing? He watches me eat lunch. I'll be sitting in the canteen and he'll be up on the balcony on his own/with friends, leanign over and looking at me. All lunch for like an hour and I feel so uncomfortable. I feel all I do is try to hide from him-I can't study in the library because he's always there.
What should I do abut this? Any advice welcome. p.s I don't wish to get back with him as he's a serial cheat. (link)
I don't know if you've done this already but sit down and talk with him and tell him how you feel. Ask him why he is doing this. Don't be defensive just ask him calmly. If he continues I would tell public saftey officers on campus or get someone on staff involved. Especially if you feel like you're in danger! Good luck!


I am 16 years old, and i am kind of stuck...

1) Andrew; he is much much muchhhh older than i am, like...11 years older... has warrants which he is dealing with and it is going in a positive direction. i've liked him for about 2 years, and in august i found out he liked me. we talked, than he got a gf so i stopped talking to him and dated this guy steve. Andrew told me he would wait for me to be of age to date..so we're still talking and things, lately is been slowing down though.and this is a sweetened version of me and him...but he is nice, and funny and makes me happy when we talk.

2)Steve; (my ex boyfriend) we broke up in October/early November. we started talking (as friends) in december after x-mas, and yesterday he told me he missed me and things. and he wants to go bowling on sunday. i said i would go. so we're most likely going to go. But he was a nice boyfriend but he has NO PERSONALITY! but my whole family approved him. and he stopped smoking pot (THANKGOD!) so im thinking maybe he'll be able to show some personality. he is nice, sweet, and caring. btw he is 17. also, i dont like him...but i might if he shows personality, but it deffinitly is not promised.

3) John; mine and my older brother's bestfriend! he is 18 years old. he asked me out in december and i said no because he is my brothers bestfriend and i didnt want to do that. but him and i hangout everyday! and i flirt with him constantly!! a part of me really wants to date him, but some part of me says no, that i dont want too. he has tendencies to be the biggest asshole. Last night he was hanging out with me and than dropped me off my church, he went to his friends house and apparently this girl sam was there. he took her home, had sex with her and brought her home today. than he picked me up from school. i was veryy jealous of it. i am not sexually attracted to him, like i do not want to have sex with him but i kind of want him to be mine.

......so, i understand 100% that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me being single! but, if i could choose one of them that would make me happiest i would like too. i just want to hear everyone's opinion on this, and who you think might be best or if i should continue to look. i am not a trouble maker, and i care about all of them in one way or another. absolutely nothing is promised with Steve, and Andrew is another situatin in his own. and John is my bestfriend and i am scared even if we do date in the end ..we might not be friends. and also, John has the personality of, if he cant get what he wants, he might eventually give up and treat me like shit, and end our friendship. (link)
Okay let's start off with...

Andrew...
Okay so Andrew pretty much from your description reminds me of this guy I use to date who was a bit older than I. We kissed and what have you but it was never really exclusive. People change as they get older and your idea of him will change as you get older. The guy I was seeing was so cute to me when I was younger and now I look at him and say to myself 'what happened?'. I was completely different when I cared for that guy and now my feelings are no longer there. To tell you the truth the reason I probably had feelings for him was because he was good looking and he was older. I could barely ever have a conversation with this guy and thats not a good start to a relationship. I say forget about Andrew and move on!

Up next is Steve!
So you and Steve dated and then broke up because of why? If you find he doesn't have a personality now you will come to find that not even him stopping his pot smoking will make him have a personality. You either like the kid or not. And by what you are saying you don't it looks like the kid is just a back up in case there isn't another guy. Just continue being friends with him and nothing more. As the great Bonnie Rait says 'you can't make your heart feel something it won't'.

And last but not least John!
John is a NO GO! John is your brother's friend. Have you talked to your brother about it? What would your brother do if you guys started dating? I don't know if he would be too happy or not. I had a friend who had an older brother and her friend liked her older brother. She told her friend that she didn't want her dating ehr brother. Well the friend dated the older brother and so the girl stopped being friends with her friend and in the end the relationship didn't work out. The point is it can create tension and it can create difficulty for not only your relaitonship with your brother but the relationship between him and his friend. Don't bother with John!

There are a ton of guys out there and you will find him but for now just enjoy being young and have fun :)


what can i do to not be jeleous of my boyfriend? what can i do to trust him? (link)
Why are you jealous of your boyfriend?
Is it because he gets a lot of attention? Does he hang around with other girls?
And as far as trust goes you need that in your relationship. Without trust there is no relationship. What I have always said, is that there are two main things in a relationship which are trust and communication. When something goes wrong in a relationship the best thing to do is to talk it out. Everyone is so quick to break up instead of fixing the problem and making sure that everyone is happy. For years and years when I was dating, I had boyfriends who I couldn't talk to. I wasn't allowed to talk to them and I always wanted to be with someone that could be my boyfriend but also be a friend as well. My boyfriend and I know have great communication and trust. It's unbelievable because whenever there is a problem we fix it. If something is bothering me I tell him. If I said something to upset him, he tells me. We work it out.
Trust is something that you need to have with your boyfriend. Talk to him and tell him what's bothering you!


What are some encouraging phrases to tell teammates when they struggle? (link)
My advice would be to compliment their strengths and let them know how good they are. Everyone is good at something and if you compliment them it gives them a feel of accomplishment and worth. Also talking about working as a team and being there fore one another is a good way as well.


This girl and I are really good friends. I like her a lot, but Im not sure whether or not she's interested in me 100%. Im more like 60% certain.

Anyways, we have known eachother for a long time. I have never really made a move, but I was thinking of doing it soon. She tells me she loves me all the time and always texts me _< I dont get women sometimes.

Any advice? (link)
How about instead of thinking about it just ask her. I can't give you an answer because I'm not her. And no one can give you the real answer because chances are she's not reading this question. The best thing you can do is to ask her yourself and see what she says. What's the worst thing she could say? No? And if she does say 'no' than at least you have your answer and you're not thinking about it so much. By not asking you are jsut driving yourself more crazy and you'll always regret not just asking her. Heck ask her out on a date and she how she reacts to that. Good luck!


Idk if it makes a difference but im 16 and my boyfriend is 18. I have been dating him for a little more then eight months. He seems like the perfect guy and i love him as well as him me. Of course we have hade makeout sessions and all, but im still a virgin. He's never forced it on me to have sex and but when we get really hot when making out, he starts touching and its not bad until i have to push him away. We havent really talked about it but the few times i have tried he doesnt understand why i dont want to. It might be the fact that he isnt a virgin. I need help...how do i bring up this conversation. How do i explain that its important to me that i want to keep my virginity for a while longer maybe after we have been together for a year or longer (link)
The same way you just did!
Talk to your boyfriend and let him know your beliefs and how important it is to you. If he truly loves you he will respect your decision and wait. Its nothing to be ashamed of and its nothing to feel sorry about. Your boyfriend should also be a guy that you can confide in and that will be there for you. You should be able to talk to him about anything. So just have a serious talk with him and tell him what you're thinking.


Hi everyone,
So I've been in an- on-and-off relationship with this guy . It gets very hard sometimes not being able to see him for months at a time but I'm trying to move where he lives soon . & if that dosnt happen by this may I was gonna buy him a plane ticket here . But.......  Today I asked him if he was willing to wait for me n he said " he would try his best" . Then I asked him " what If a girl asks u out , are you gonna go out with her? N he replied most likely not ... This mad me really upset :( n I began to cry .., did I overact? How would u take this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated (link)
I've been in two long distance relationships and I know you don't want to hear this but they didn't work out. I'm not saying it won't work out for you but it is really hard. If it's been on and off that can be a bit difficult. What was the reason for it being on and off? Was it because of the distance? Or was there an argument?
I know you want to do anything and everything to make this work but you have to think about it realisitically. Letting love control you can make things complicated and sometimes unrealisitic. I've had boyfriends that wanted me to move to different states so we could be together. As much as I cared for them, I knew it wasn't the right decision. Where I live now is where my life is, my family, my friends, and my job. To pack up and move to another place and start my life over I knew wasn't in the cards for me. As much as I wanted to I listened to my head instead of going with my heart. The other thing too was I'm not married to either one of them so what if something was to happen? Do I have somewhere to go after? I of course got blamed by both guys for 'ruining' the relationship and they ended after. Please think before making a decision because if you don't you might be faced with consequences later on! Good luck!


I've been contemplating suicide for a good time now. I'm struggling with homosexuality and my faith. Faith says that it's wrong yet I feel driven towards homosexuality and I feel guilty for acting on it. Idk what to do... I just kinda wanna be gone so all those problems will be gone. I guess I'm just depressed and it's doing things to me (link)
Faith should not be the thing that controls your life. Faith should be something that helps you be spiritual. Faith should never define who you are. You define who you are. If you're gay then you're gay. Faith not believe in homosexuality but that doesn't mean you can't be gay. I always found myself questioning the church about how they didn't except homosexuality. My question is doesn't God except all people no matter what? I was taught when I was a little girl that everyone is equal no matter who they are and you except people for who they are. Killing yourself is not going to create a solution its going to cause more of a problem. Think of all the people you would leave behind and how they would wonder what happened. Think about the people who are suffering just like you and how they are in the same boat as you. The solution to this problem is getting up and giving a good fight. If you're gay then be proud of who you are. It's not something shameful, of course thats what the media, politics, and faith have made it seem. It's not shameful be proud of yourself. Ignore those people who are ignorant, they don't know any better because they are hating something they don't understand.
I know you feel alone and you feel like there is no way out but you have to understand killing yourself is not going to help. Choose to be you and forget about faith controling who you are. BE YOU!


I've been with my boyfriend for almost three weeks and before he became my boyfriend we were seeing each other for three months. He is an extremely out going and talkative guy. He has many friends who he sees on a daily basis. I've been introduced to many of them I also see his roommates every time I go to his apartment. This is how it's supposed to be but me on the other hand I have no friends or anyone in my life that I can introduce him to. I am a dull person and dont know how to have conversations. I stay silent 99% of the time this is why im confused as to why he likes me. What can I do about this? (link)
Have you ever heard the phrase 'opposites attract'?
He is the outgoing one and you are the girl whose quiet and that's okay. My boyfriend and I are the same. He's very outgoing can have a conversation with anyone and I tend to be shy I try to come out of my shell but its hard sometimes. Sounds to me though that you are lacking confidence in yourself and that you don't think highly of yourself. Your boyfriend likes you because you're you. You don't have to be anything special because to him you already are special.
I continued to ask myself the same question as to why my boyfriend loved me. And you know what he loves me because I'm real and because I'm me. I don't try to be anyone I'm not. I know who I am. And you know what I don't have many friends myself but I've introduced him to the people that matter and to the people that I care about. And he has introduced me to his family and friends. Heck his friends like jokes about how I don't talk because they are trying to get me to talk. I tend to do the same thing when I'm hanging out with my boyfriend's friends. The best thing to do is try your best and come out of your shell. Obviously say hi and be polite but try your hardest to speak to someone. Try to get to know his friends! Good luck!


Before I ask the question, I am 17 and the girl is 15. I met this girl the other day, and we hit it off immediately. All of our interests are the same, and we have identical senses of humor.

We were hanging out today watching a movie, when she suddenly hugged me, nuzzled her head in my chest, and then looked up at me. She said, "please don't push me off," lied down with her head in my lap, and fell asleep.

Or so I thought, but I think she might have been pretending. I put my hand on her upper back, because anywhere else could have been inappropriate, and then she rolled over so my hand was on her chest, and started gently and playfully nibbling my thigh while she was "asleep" and when I muttered something, she physically responded by biting a bit harder.

So, what do you think this means? Does it mean she likes me; does it mean she's trying to rush into something probably too fast; does it mean she's just the weird girl that I hit it off with so well and she's just already that comfortable that she fell asleep on me? (link)
I think she's warming up to the idea of liking you. I don't know if she truly likes you though the only one who would know that would be her. If she's is already 'asleep' in your lap that means she's comfortable with you. It seems like me though she's playing around with you by her 'sleeping'. I would get to know her more and see what you think. You need to get to know the girl to see if you like her too. Good luck!


Hi there.

I'm 19/F and I'm in college to become a Labor and Delivery Nurse. A classmate of mine got pregnant at 16 and had a daughter named Katelyn. When she was around 7 months old, she would bring her to my house and leave her with me for weeks, and weeks at a time. I woke up with her whenever she cried, I fed her healthy, ect. I fell in love with that little girl. Well, just recently, when she was a year and a half, that girl brought Katelyn over again, and she stayed for two months straight. I tought her her colors, numbers, and body parts.



Ever since then, I have fell in love with kids. I've been lookin online but so far no luck. Anyone know where I could find a job babysitting? I have my own transportation, I have a very reliable, flexiable schedule, ect.


Any ideas? (link)
Do you have any aunts and uncles with children? Do you have any neighbors with kids? Network. Talk to people and maybe by talking to people you'll find a fmaily that might need a sitter to watch their kids regularly. Connect with people, I've done the online babysitting experience and its not what I expected. I would suggest going through people and asking around if anyone needs a sitter. Or maybe you could get a part time job at a day care or a camp in the summer. Good luck!
