Ok, well theres this boy that I liked a lot and he usually hooks up [makes out] with a lot of girls, and then leaves them but we hooked up for the first time in a movie theater, and he still wanted to see me again and everyone said that he must really like me if he still wants to hang out with me. So I hung out with him again and we hooked up again, but now the whole time we held hands and everything seemed good. But then I found out he thinks my best friends hott, and he wants to "get to know her." I confronted him and he told me that everything would be okay, and that he just thinks shes attractive but now 2 days later hes being really weird and says he doesnt know if he wants to talk to me anymore, and I dont know what I did because the other day he was saying everything would be ok. I ve been really upset and even though of killing myself, until my friends ex imed me and was being really nice to me and asked me out. What do I do about both of them? And why is he all of a sudden being really weird? (link)
ive been in a similar situation as you, and let me just tell you; guys like this arent worth it. if he hooks up with a lot of girls & then leaves them, it sounds like hes going to continue to take this path, and hes already tried to do this with you. its all he wants out of the girl, obviously. DONT TAKE IT PERSONALLY. you dont need this guy, and never ever think of killing yourself over a person, especially one guy. its so not worth it, it might seem like its everything to you now, but believe me you will be with SO many other guys in your life. and this guy doesnt seem like a good reason at ALL to kill yourself over either. please promise me you wont think about suicide over him again. you also say you dont know what you did wrong. well, you didnt do anything wrong. the guy is playing you, it seems. if two days went by, and hes already bored, then hes most likely got all hes wanted out of you. =[ sorry hun. ive been in your position, and yes it hurts, like hell, and in my situation i also didnt realize i was being used until after the fact. this guy's only in it for the hookup it seems; and apparently you really like him and want more than to be just one of his hookup girls. but seriously, save yourself now. get out and find a more mature guy who is more into having a comitted hookup/relationship if thats what you're looking for. your friend's ex could be fun to hang out with, and you might end up being better off with a guy like him. i wish you best of luck!


so there is this guy (i'm a girl). well he is my best friend. and we hang out all the time and spend 2 hours on the phone every day. but the problem is that he is totally in love with me.he tels me that almost every day and he knows i like someone else and he always askes me: do you still like him? and that really sucks. and he asked me to go to a movie once. i said yes because he even TOLD me that it's just friendshiply. so after the movie he kissed me.
after that i acted like it never really happened because i just like him as a friend and he knows that. but he just can't leave me alone and he always hugs me when my crush is somewhere near. i tried talking to him and told him in a nice way that he should stop. then he stopes for 10 min. and after that he starts asking me if i still like him and why i even like him and he sais so mean stuff about him. what should i do??
by the way i used to have a crush on my best friend but that was 2 years ago. we werent even friends that time and he did'nt like me so i gave up. and i know i will never love him. i just like him as a friend. and he knows that he is my best friend. is'nt that enough?

please help sorry this was so long (link)
hey you should definetley confront your friend and tell him straight out that you only like him as a friend and always will. make sure he knows that you value his friendship a lot but in a friendly way only. you may also want to mention that his negative behavior -- i.e. talking bad about your crush (he's probably just jealous) -- has to stop, because making by him making your crush look bad isn't making your best friend look any better. i hope i could help you if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox!!

love always,

soo, yeah..theres this boy, named jordan. & like everyone tells me he likes me, i posted a thing awhile ago, with the signs.. asking if he liked me. i had like 15 answers saying he did. Hes really shy though. So like.. idno. I'm not one of those people.. who wait forever for someone. & i know alot of other boys who like me. so i wanna just get him to ask me out or something. im basically going to my friendds party well.. its like half makeout party, & half just hang out with your friends... like, were gonna play seven minutes in heaven & stuff.. & so anyway, i basically,want him to like me after this party. i don't really just want to blurt out i like you in the middle of a party. but im also not shy.. so i'm up for anything =)

what should i do?
should i wait for him to come to me?
[hes never had a girlfriend so hes most deff. shy]
should i like make the first move?

ahh help.! (link)
hey ask him out! before the party! and then [if hes not already invited] ask your friend if YOU can invite him to your friends party. good luck hope i could help you if you need anything else drop one in my inbox ;]

love always

ok how do you get over a guy? (link)
hey you just have to stop thinking about him and block yourself out from hanging around him for a while. i just recently helped by best friend get over a guy that lead her on quite a bit, and she was heartbroken when she found it out, and yet she still had strong feelings for him. the only time she talked to him, though, since it's summer, was online, and in order to get over him she had to stop talking to him on the computer for like 2 months, and she became interested in another guy. then, when she lost interest in the new guy, she remembered how much she liked her previous crush. don't let this happen to you! try and find a way to block out communicating with the guy and eventually you will forget what you saw in him and stop liking him. it's really hard to do so i wish you best of luck!! ;] if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox! hope i could help & good luck.

love always

Ok well i keep hearing things about my boyfriend that he is cheating and stuff and im hearing this stuff from my so called friends. And i know my boyfriend isnt one to cheat and no offence but the girls my friends say he is cheating on me with are nasty. But i dont know why my friends would say that, and i want to beleive my boyfriend. But it bugs me and hurts me so much because for the past few days 3 of my friends said he was cheating or trying to. and i dont know who to beleive my friends or my boyfriend. and i just need help on who to beleive, even though i think my boyfriend isnt lieing, but i need to know how to gain his trust/ (link)
hey this is a hard thing to figure out when you aren't sure who you should trust. right now i think you should just wait until you have proof that your boyfriend could be cheating since your "friends" can't seem to come up with any. if you do catch him cheating or find out more proof than a rumor from girls who are obviously jealous of you & your boyfriend, then you can start accusing your bf. but for right now, he's innocent until proven guilty ;] if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox. hope i could help & good luck!!

Hey everyone,

I know you guys hate these types of questions, but when I talk to my crush I become completely tongue tied and always end up making small talk that goes NO WHERE. I really want to get closer to him and this just isnt cutting it. Someone please help?

Thanks in advance. (link)
hey small talk is hard to get anywhere with. my suggestion is to talk to him about interests and things that you guys might like. for example: ask him about the sport he plays; or, rather, ask him if he plays a sport if you aren't sure if he does or not. if he doesn't, tell him about the sport you play. if you aren't into sports, talk about one of your other interests, whatever they may be. get him interested in you, but there's no need to put on an act like some girls do. just be yourself and talk about something that you enjoy. ask him questions, a good idea is to ask him more about himself. get to know your guy a little better! you'll probably like him more and more as you get to know him. who knew his favorite food was kiwi? ;] if you need any more help just drop one in my inbox! hope i could help you and good luck!

love always

i recently asked this question to you:





ok so i went out with this guy for like 2 days. then he broke up with me and my best friend told me to go ask him out for her. i really regret asking him cuz theyve been going out for 2 months now. i still really like him and he said that if him and my bff broke up he would probably go out with me again. but my best friend said that if i ever go out with him again she would hate me. im afraid that if i go out with him again that he'll break up with me again and break my heart in pieces. i dont know if i should go out with him again.
please help!!
thanks in advance. =)


the thing is that he is the first guy to ever like me that i know of. hes so cute and funny and perfect. nobody really knows how much i like him and ive tried to forget about him but i cant. and now i sound like a stupid love song!! anyway.. i dont know maybe i just dont want the one guy to ever like me slip away..who knows..
(link)
hey it may seem like he's the only one who's liked you so far, but don't worry. guys come and go and some you will like more than others, and some will like you more than others. i imagine that youre fairly young because only one guy has liked you. don't worry there will be tons of guys that you will like and will like you in your lifetime. and i also understand that it's REALLY hard to get over a guy that you really liked but sometimes you just have to convince yourself that he's not worth all the time and pain that he's put you through. since you say that he will most likely break your heart in pieces *if* you go out with him again, it's not going to be worth all the time and heartbreak it will take in order to go out with him again. don't worry about him for now. i'm sure there's plenty of other guys out there for you! good luck & hope i helped. if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox! =)

There is this really nice guy who likes me and wants to go to the movies with me (he thinks I like him because I used to), but I don't really like him in that way, so how do I tell him I don't want to go to the movies and that I just want to be firends???
Thanks!! (link)
hey STOP RIGHT THERE and tell him how you feel about him before you end up going to the movies and being in a very awkward situation! just explain that you like him as a friend and that he's really nice etc. etc.; but you just don't like him how you used to! hope i could help & good luck!

love always

Okay, so at the camp I go to, there is this counselor who is the hottest, nicest, funiest guy ever with the cutest voice and everything. I started noticing him in like a crushing way the first year I went and by this year, it was like a full out obsession. He knows I like him in that way but we can't really do anything because 1.he's 18 (I'm not even 15) and 2. it is so crossing the counselor/camper line and 3. I won't even see him until next year. So it's just like a fun little obsession...while I'm there. But now I'm home and I still think about him ALOT. I still dream about him every night and I've been home for a week. How do I stop this madness?

By the way, please don't say get a boyfriend because I never officialy broke it off with my long distance one from camp (who was closer to my age). (link)
hey i had a crush on a counselor at day camp last year. i slowly got over him after i realized that i could never have him since camp was ending and he wasnt interested in me. so basically all i can tell you is to try and think about other things and hang out with other guys who aren't so unattanible. hope i could help & good luck

love always

xoxo amanada
