Q: ok so there is this guy who is two years older than me. i don't know him that well but he's cute and he reminds me of someone who passed away. i have a crush on him and i really want to know how to talk to him. how do i start a conversation with him? how do i keep a conversation with him? how do i get him to feel conforatble with me? how do i get him to like me back? help me please
try just being casual about it and act like you do it to all the guys,and say "hey whats up",or "so tell me a little about yourself"or just ask him like normal questions like
what kind of music do you like
what your favorite color
crap like that.

Q: Alright, I asked this question before, but I don't think I phrased it exactly right.

This is what I posted:

my guy friend asked me out on v-day and it was really cuet and sweet but i just dont like him that way . so i turned him doen. the day after he didnt bother me, i guess he was embarrassed, but now he wont leave me alone! he keeps talking to me alllll the fucking time, more than he used to before he asked me out, and insists on calling me. he told my friends he like loved everyhing about me. its like im in a reallty bad movie, seriously. i feel smothered by him... like he s stalking me or sumthing. i reaally need some help. i want to tell him to go away but i dont know how without hurting his feelings. tx in advance

But I have to add... the guy, who won't stop talking to me, isn't in any of my classes or my lunch, but out of the 8 times we have to walk in the halls to get to either a class or our locker, he found me 6 times! and mos t of the time i didnt see him til he was inmy face. its really creeepy. stalkerrrish help!
try saying or writing a letter and saying"look,since you asked me out you keep trying to get my to go out with you,and you are acting alot different then we were just friends.its not that i dont like you as a friend because your a sweet guy,but i think i just want to keep you as as friend/.so what do you think can we go back to the way things used to be ?"

Q: okay well as a christmas gift this past christmas my parents got me christina a. concert tickets... well just recently, heather (24 years old, so my mom approve of her responsibility, really nice, etc) mentioned it would be at TON of fun if we went together.. well im sure my mom intended for me and HER to go together but i brought it up anyways. i said to her "hahah yesterday heather was like 'IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF WE WENT TOGETHER, WOULDNT?!!??! ASK YOUR MOM' shes so funny" and my mom said i could bring her cause they were MY christmas gifts... and she seemed kinda sad but she said she didnt mind...

Wellll, i reallyreallyreally want to bring Heather, but i fell terrible. and plus i know that if my mom goes we'll get into a fight... AND she already has a musical planned for us to go to together next month... so is it that big of a deal?

so here are my list of questions...:

-who should i bring? (i want to bring heather but who SHOULD i bring)
-if heather, then how do i tell my mom
-if mom, what should i tell heather.... ):


THANKS AND SORRY IT WAS SO LONGGGGGG. (:
xoxo
well ask your mom if she would mind,and really look into her eyes when your talking to her.If you decide your mom then just tell heather my mom said i cant take any friends,and if you chooese heather then tell your mom you want to spend time with her,just not aty the concert.

Q: 21/f

there is something nagging at my brain and that is my boyfriends ex. she started messaging me on facebook saying that they met up over xmas and he told her he doesnt fancy me etc.

i showed him and he seemed a little shaken by it as well and well basically we talked like grown ups about it and i believe i can trust him that she is making it up. it did help that i asked a mutual friend of both of his and his ex and he told me there was nothing to worry about.

however all said and done i am still thinking about whether he has lied to me and i am just a fool for believing him.
can anyone tell me how i should deal with this problem?
well this is a very taugh situation.what i would do is talk to this girl and put her on speakerphone while your boyfriend is i the room,and let them fight about it.or do it yourself one on one with her,and try to catch her in a lie.If your really love your boyfriend you will belive him,and no that he wouldnty lie to you.Maybe,try talking moe to your boyfriend.

Q: Well i lately have been falling for one of my good friends. Part of me is not sure if i should be because i love the relationship we have as friends. The other half of me wants to, who knows maybe its just my hormones. But i know he is interested bcause he told my one friend mike(im friends with mostly guys)
he was going to hook up with me but this one kid kept getting in the way. I duno i really i am interested, i dont think this will ruin our friendship, but its just different i guess. I am debating if i should just go for it and tell him how i feel if he hasnt already got all the hints ive been passing. Should i just go for it and tell him how i feel?
look dont try to hardf here and stress yourself out.this is more simple then you think.just tell him(on the phone is easier)"look,i dont want this to ruin our friendship and make it akward if you dont feel the same way,but i really would like to try being more then friends with you.what do you think?"well let me know how it all works out

Q: Well I don't know. You see, i'm 13. This boy has been my best friend for about two years and we've been together for a year. It's nice and everything. We are real close and know almost everything about eachother and everything. He's different from the rest of the guys i've gone out with. Don't think I am a slut or anything but we are both comfortable being naked around eachother. He trusts me and I trust him. No, this is not my first relationship. Anyhow, he's always there when i need him. Well, he's actually a nice boy and won't take advantage of me or anything like that or trying to get me to have sex with him. I know i'm young and yes i am still a virgin. Most of you are probably thinking "teen love dont have sex with him" Of course i'll be on birth control and have a condem and everything but i'm not sure if i should give up my virginity so young. So what do you people out there think about the whole situation?
dont do it becuase what if you dont stay with this guy and he has aids then you will get it and give it to the next person you have sex with

Q: Ever since i was born i was always the one in the family that didn't fit in. and it's coming close to a year since my mum and dad split..for the past year, i've stuck with my mum and helped her with everything...her divorce sorting out her finances..i've even skipped school to go see her solicitor with her. And whilst that was going on, my brother was doing drugs, smoking, and drinking.
And i guess i can't cope anymore...i try so hard to please my mum, get top grades and help her out, but all she can do is favour my brother over me..my brother practically rules the house, anythings he doesn't agree with has to change and everything he wants to do he does.
So..I'm on the verge on suicide because no-one in my family can give me the time of day and i spend all my day trying to please them.
P.s no matter what happens i am cutting my brother out of my life totally..i don't care about him at all, he's a mirror image of my dad and trust me that isn't a good thing.
Any ideas on what i can do to try and make me stop feeling like this. and don't bloody recommend counselling :|
well i hate councling and i also have suicidal thoughts so i know exacly what your gong through if you dont think your mom will put you n councling try talking to her about getting anti depressents,dont think of it as your crazy,think of it as your helping yourself cuz your not crazy !if she will put you in councling try not tsalking toanyone for a while till they ask you whats on your mind.whatever you do keep yah grades up.

Q: okay. i'll apologize that this may be long..

i have a wonderful boyfriend. we've been together 10 months. for being freshman, we're doing pretty good. we've only gone as far as fingering/handjob, & hes not a pushy guy at all. the only thing is that he gets really jealous. and i "flirt" a lot. especially with one boy in particular named john. well, john and me are good friends. and john likes me but i've made it clear that i love my boyfriend, and he understands but still says he likes me.

now my boyfriend recently said that it seems like i enjoy talking to john more than i like talking to him & thats not true at all but my boyfriend is convinced that i like john. and i dont ! i just can't get him to believe me

i love my boyfriend. and you may think that im just saying love, but trust me. i mean it more than you guys know. he is amazing. but we always seem to end up fighting over john. it'd just be better if he didn't exist at all. but since that's not going to happen, i need some advice on what to do.
* to get my boyfriend to believe that i dont like john
* to stop "flirting" with guys
* to become a better girlfriend, because right now, i just feel like crap.


please&thanks!
i understand all about the love thing,trust me i hate when people say your too young to know what love is.but ya i think that maybe if your boyfriend dosnt listen to you write him a letter and say look im not going out with him i love you more then anything n the world,and he knows that. dont take you away fro your friends so you shouldnt take me away from mine.
then see what he says all and all try not to flirt so much,you know that you would get jelouse to if he were flirting with some girl.its ust a natural instinct lo.well let me know how it all works out

Q: Okay so, I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never had a boyfriend, and I've never made out. Lots of boys like me, but for some reason I can't bring myself to go out with them, even if I like them back. It feels like I'm scared, I just don't know why! I'm also nervouse 'cause I've never made out before, and EVERYONE thinks I have..so maybe that's SOME of it, but it can't be ALL of it. Also, when I like a boy, I'll talk to them and then they'll end up liking me..then all of a sudden when we're close to going out I don't like them anymore! I don't get what's wrong with me! I've hurt some boys because of it, and I hate it. I hate that I can't have a boyfriend 'cause I'm so weird about all this stuff. What's wrong?! How do I fix this? I'm so frustraited and nervous about this. It makes me upset. Please help! Any advice at ALL will help!
wheb they want to go out with you try sayng yes,and when iyts time for yur date dont think of it as one,just think about it as time with a friend.and if you two want to date then call him your oyfrend but dont think of him as one.

Q: I have the best friends ever... but the only problem is they ONLY party, get drunk, and do drugs. I on the other hand dont and dont want too. I know it would be fun to go to a party and get drunk. But my last experience was horrible and i want to party sometime but im afriad i'll have another bad experience and regret it. (also haven't drank any alcohol in over a year) I don't think my friends find me fun because id rather sit home then go out and party. should i try to party a few times or just do what i usually do and spend time home?
if you think you will be nfuenced to drink then dont go.try saying to your friends"look,i have a great tie with yu guys,but can yu not drink in front of me,because it makes me uncomfortable"if there true friends then theyll understand

Q: Just like my subject, how do I tell a guy that I like him?

I mean I guess saying it to face "I like you" is the best way, because I'd know the answer but I mean how do I paraphrase that or some other way?

Thanks so much
you can
1.)tell him
2.)write him a note or letter
3.)dont tell him

Q: So i want to be on some sort of birth control because i don't like condoms much but i smoke and don't really feel like quitting that anytime soon. So that kind of stops me from taking the pill/patch right? but what other birh control things can i use? i know of the shot and the ring and the diaphram (sp) but the other thing is im pretty forgetful, and when me and my boyfriend are together things just tend to lead to another pretty quickly. anybody have any other ideas?
umm smoking dosnt stop yo from using the pill or the patch i dont think .umm you can do th ring but its not really somthing i would trust.you can also get a shot now,thats what i wld do.but try going to a doctor and figuring out what they recribe to be the best for you

Q: Alright this is the very first time i even discussed the this anywhere either in person or online. so here goes. Im a 38 year old truck driver. I live in Maine. I have trouble speaking to strangers. I drive all week alone by myself and usually spend the weekend home alone. I dont like being alone. but I cant seem to talk myself into going out. I dont believe im looking for sympathy. Im looking for motivation. I dont do well around large crouds of people and starting up conversations is Very uncomfortable for me. Im unmotivated unless it comes to my job. i hardly ever finish anything i start unless it comes to my job. I am a very disorganized person. Personally I think my self esteme is quite low. I know i have problems and issues but it all seems so overwelming that i dont know what to do so I dont do anything and thats not getting me anywhere. Making decisions is very difficult for me. However I feel i am very intelligent. I have tried without success to help myself and am getting nowhere quite rapidly. I have medical insurance but dont know where to go or who to see. Or if thats even covered. Please just help me get going in the right direction.
hmm maybe you should try going to a councler,they will talk to you and teech you how t get comfortable around peopl and even just talking to one councler will help you alot .Just give it a try.Your missing out on the world

Q: okay, i am dead in the middle of the classic issue of being in love with your best friend.

lets call him Joe.

joe and i got really close really fast. my friends say "we just click". and i can see it too. when were together we're inseparable and when were apart we talk all the time. he tells me a lot of things he doesnt tell his other friends, even the ones who have been there forever.

but just recently, joe has become more "attractive", much more attractive..and now girls are alll over him..and guys, too. And ive liked him since the first time we hung out..before his grand transformation. and im afraid hes going to end up with someone who only talks to him NOW beacuse of his looks.

i dont know what to do.

i dont want to tell him because im terrified of rejection and i would MUCH rather have him as my best friend than not at all.

but id also like to know, beacuse sometimes it FEELS and LOOKS like he may like me, but other times..it doesnt.

and my feelings get stronger everytime we talk.

any ideas?
thanks a lot :]

15/f
