Q: 16, lady.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 9 months and I want to break up with him so badly. I just don't want to break his heart. I know it is unfair to him -and- to myself, but I can't stand it any more.
See, I went away for the whole of July and it put a lot of things into perspective for me. I don't like him anymore, and I ended up really missing another friend of mine, whom i think I may really like. Am I being a complete arse about this?

(completely unrelated, but you wouldn't happen to be going to the Fringe, would you?)
Hmmmm now that is a dilemma indeed!! I understand what you mean and im so glad youre taking his feelings into the equation! But to be honest, the only way to prevent his heart being shatterd is to sit with him. And explain every single minute detail. Not jus that you're sick of him dig deep and explain in detail. Speaking from experience the reasons why people break up haunt u for weeks after if u dont know!! So the best you can do is i dno invite him out for a coke or somethin somwhere or jus round ya house sumwhere you can have alone time 2gether! And tell him exactly what you feel and the reasons why; as i say dig deep and try to tell the truth as much as possible. And dont lead him on. I mean there is no sense in lying oit gets us only ahosrt distances and usually fall.. So please take my advice.. It will save you both a secere heartache and maybe even furture resentment! I realy hope this helps you, and if possible let me know how it goes yea?
Hope i helped

Q: a guy that i like a lot thinks i have lost interaste in him which isnt true at all. i tryed tellin him but he still thinks i dont like him as much and i need a way to prove it to him that i love him a lot can someone plz help me out??
Hmmm now thats a dilemma!! The best way is you sit down wth a piece of paper a pen and you write him a poem!! You can write all you're feelings and spill youre heart to a piece of paper. works all the time with me because it hurts to know you csnt show sum1 how much u love thm!! Another way is suprise him with texting him saying how much you love him randomly a few days a week. Not all the time you dnt wna scare him!!

Well no it isnt weird that you miss him of youre in love i mean come on. So what if people talk. Let them; you know how you feel. You know you love him and that you miss him no1 else does. So no it isnt rong 2 miss him even if u do c him. If u didnt miss him thered b sumthion rong with you. As i always say. Follow YOURE heart and do what your e heart wants. Let them all talk only you know how you feel inside!

Q: hey anthony... all the girls in my grade think im really pretty but all the guys only like me as a friend and nothing more...i mean a lot of them have asked me out and i said no b\cuz i didnt like them but now their saying im ugly...how can i win their heart?
*boy problems*
Hmm i know what you mean! Well to be honest if i where you i wouldnt want to win theyre hearts if theyre callin you ugly. BUT all hope aint lost. They might only be doing it cuz u rejected them. So what you can do is just sit and talk to them, flirt with them and flaunt you're looks and stuff. Jus go out ya way to make them drool over you and they'll be falling over themselves to get to you! But again please take a moment to think if they're even worth it! I really don't want you to get hurt or nethink.

Q: i really need help .. ok

now just now i was talking to my boyfriends friend and he was like h/o your boyfriend has to talk to you and i was like ok. and i waiting for about 5 mins and he just randomly signed off. and like earlier i looked in his rpofile and it said nothing.. so im so confused. what should i do.
You shouldn't panick but you should fone him up and demand to know whats goin on. Thats a serious issue and its not right he should go through a mate. So yea phone go round or whatever. Jus get in touch and demand to know whats going on.

Q: 16/f.
i went 2 a party a few nites ago, and anyway ther was this lad ther who was sittin really close 2 me and flirtin wit me loads. anyway hes really geeky and weird, but apparently hes really in2 me! i dont kno wot 2 do, i mean i dont hate him, but i dont fancy him either, n if i did eva do anything wit him every1 wud laugh and my popularity wud go down the drain, but at the same time i dont want 2 b mean! wot shud i do?
Well all you have to do if you don't like him is just like sit and tell him ya know? All you can do. And if you're saying you don't like him to make yourself believe it then thats slack. Why must you be a sheep and follow the pack jus to be happy and remain "cool". Define cool for me please. Im not bein nasty or harsh. Im jus sayin if you are then be real and come on man. But if you really dont like him and stuff then ye jus talk to him about it!

Q: well see i have a boyfriend that i have been going out wit for almost 7 month now and hes on vacation.....but back home in my neighborhood this is this guy and i have always had a thing for him and i dunno bout him but i always get mixed up with him like well almost everytime i see him....so im trying to say that i cheeted on my boyfriend that loves me and would do anything for me. and i dont even kno if i left him if anything would happen to "this guy" bakk home.
please help...need it badly im confused

Confused
youu say you've been with a guy for seven months yet there's a guy at home who youve always had a thing for? Well surely you must have MORE feelings for youre boyfriend.. right? I mean you can't go on that long and not have feelings for that person surely? What you need to think about is who do you truely love. And i dont mean whose the better lookin or the more sporty. I mean the guy who YOU know in you're heart will be there for you on cold nights. The guy who'll treat you like a real person and appreciate the real you. I really think you need to sit down and think about all of this. You have to choose after thinkin of who you'd prefer. You have to choose out of the 2 guys the one you want. But in saying that you should think.
You said you're current boyfriend loves you and would do anything for you. I assure you as a guy myself; guys like him are rare! Choose wisely. And if after all you choose to stick with you're boyfriend of seven moinths i strongly advise you tell him what happened between you and this other guy! It nmight end up worse in the end if you don't. I seriously hope you make the right choice. And i hoppe it all goes well.. Please if at all possible let me know how things go!!

Q: i've had a boyfriend for almost 5 months now and he has been gone for the past 2 weeks and we havent been able to talk that much..like hardly at all.. and he is going to be home for a half a day today but then tomorrow he is leaving again for camp..and i miss him a LOT.. is there anything to make me feel any better?!?
Not really. Jus looks at photos and remember the times you spent with him until he comes home! But the best thing you could do is spend the days before he goes away together and do something really cool and memorable so that you don't forget the last time you where together. And then when you think of him you'll bef happy because you had a good time.

Q: I really like my new boyfriend alot. He's my first & we have a great time together. However, I'm deathly afraid of a broken heart. I know I should live a little & not be afraid but I can't help it. Now I have the urge to break things off with him before he breaks up with me. What should I do? Can anyone who's experienced lend a helping hand?

Thank You!
You have to ask yourself. Why do you fear a broken heart? I mean if you have a great time together and stuff then how can you fear the worst? I have been there though and I won't critisise.From experience, what you have to do is talk to him about how you feel and explain why. I mean a lot of relationships fall down because of lack of communication. Make sure you don't fall to this demon! If he accepts you're worry and reasoning and talks yuou through then take it from there and enjoy good times. No-one can predict the future so don't worry about it. Live life to the full everyday and take each day sas it comes. It's natural to fear but jus try too loosen off a little and jus have fun. But talk to him about it! And best of luck with it all!

Q: do i deserve another chance if i got advice and relized my problems?
Well to be honest. I dont think when someone says that they want you back. And sorry for the harshness but its only through my experience that i speak of. I dont know you personally so i dont know what kind of person you're like. But you seem cool so i think we all need another chance if we've never faulted the other person. But you need to think of what's happened up to the point when she asked for spacw? How did she tell you? Is she worht hurting or are you better off moving on? Because beatin yourself up over it hurts more. So just think about what YOU'D be best doing and good luck.

Q: I recently broke up with my boyfriend who is 16(I'm 14), because he didn't want a relationship and I did. All he wants is friends with bennefits. I told him I wasn't going to do that with him, and he said that was ok. He asked if we could hang out today, just hang out. so I said yeah, and I told myself that I wasn't going to do anything with him and then he came over, and the next thing I know, im straddling him (fully clothed) and making out with him. It got carried away and I ended up giving him a hand job. He thinks it was just friends with bennefits and I'm a piece of ass. I don't want that, and I want to know if I should just cut off all relations with him and stop talking to him, I dont need him as a friend. or a boyfriend. what do I do!?
You should stick too what you said. Stop talking to him. For i assure you it will come off bad on you and you don't want to be hurt. He's using you like a gas station. Drop in anytime you want and get what you need then leave. He doesn't care about you he's using you. Get separated as soon as you can. Don't respond to calls or anything. Just move on like you know you should. There is better than him out there!! Trust me. At then end of the day i've always said. Follow YOURE heart!

Q: i recently went on vacation with my family and a few cousins whom i hadnt talked to in a long time to california. me and one of my cousins started getting somewhat close, and i am ashamed to say i like him. eh. any help?
The only help you can be given is forget it! Right off. Just no. Even though it isnt a direct relation it isn't right. In any sense of the word. The harsh reality is that you've got to forget about it and move on! I am not castigating you for youre feelings. But you have to move on to avoid hurt and confusion.

Q: I have this ex-girlfriend, ok? And see what happened is she just broke up with the guy that she broke up with me for. And I'm kinda worried that she might try to go back out with me just because I'm their and I'm familiar. Plus we also were lightly flirting last time we were together, which was about a month ago so I think I'm safe. What should I do to let her know, without a doubt, that I won't get back with her now, but do it lightly so it's not really noticeable?
The best thiong to do? Back off. Don't get involved with her as much and don't like make an effort to see her. Like if she calls you say you're busy. If you want it to be the most down to earth way to make sure she understands. Tell her straight.
Hope i've helped,

Q: ok so, i am only 13 years old. and i think i might be in love! my boyfriend is only 13 too. and i heard that he is like...an intch close to loving me! so now im scared bc i have never been in love before and i really dont want to get hurt. so do i break up with him before i get hurt or do i go with it and get hurt! i really need some help and ill rate high to anyone that gives some good advice.
Well now thats not much of a dilemma... If (as you say) you are both in love then you have nothing to worry about. But through my experience sit and talk with them. Drop hints first and then say. Dont come out of the blue with i think i love you . So speak to him. Drop hints ask him how he feels and then if YOU think( not what other people think) he loves you then you tell him. And dont be silly dont break up with him!! If you both in love thats the worst you could do. Love doesnt always end in hurt trust me! And listen; even if it does go rong( touch wood) it shouldnt if you love one another but no-one can see the future. but say it does jus to give you a piece of advice. Take it as a learning curve for the future. But i gaurantee if you love one another- and mean it! It will work out fine and you wont end up hurt at all!! So yes you talk with him and stuff. And then you stay with him, dont leave him!! And take it from there.

Q: Hey guys. Well.. tonight I went to a club for the first time, and met this really great guy. He asked to dance with me, and we did for a while, and attempted to talk a bit (but the music was so loud, so we went and sat down) He introduced me to some of his friends too. Anyway, I had to leave early.. and out of nowhere I asked for his number. This is TOTALLY out of character for me. I'm usually shy around guys, but hey. He gave it to me and then I gave him mine, and then he walked me to the door. I may be being paranoid, but was this coming across a little too eager or forward? I had a feeling he wanted to ask, but I could be wrong. Also, should I contact him first or let him contact me? I'm just totally new to this kinda thing and lost.

Thank you!
No not at all... If it's off characater for you then you musyt have something for this guy. Because you wouldnt break the mould unless it was somtheing reallllly good!!! And to answer your question no u weren't being too forward or eager... how could you be? Ask yourself that, i mean if you really like the guy and stuff then you won't know him if you can't contact him. Annd if it where to eager then he'd not have given you it. So forget about it, you made the right choice. I recon you should contact him. It isn't traditional fot the woman to ask but come on this is the 21st century! You don't want to let this guy slip through the net if you broke who you where to ask him his number. Callhim and ask him on a date to somewhere quite. Not a club; get to know him better. So go where you can sit and talk. Then take it from there. But dont worry bout it. You weren't too forward at all... Go on give him a call.

Q: I love this guys and he loves me too. Hes so incredibly perfect for me and i want to be with him so bad. The only problem is he lives 2000 miles away! I dont really want to go out with anyone at home but i also dont want to be single for the rest of highschool..i dont think hed every get into a relationship with me because of the distance either. i dunno what i should do..and if i decide to have a bf how do i tell him?
Thats always a problem... When you find someone amazing and can't be with them for love nor money!
I myself am in a long distance relationship so i know how it feels. You say you love this guy.... but you say on the same breath you dont want to be single for the rest of high-school. Why? I mean you dont know if you're ever going to actually meet someone as good as this guy; or if you can feel for them the same way. I mean so what if you're single at school? It doesnt make you any less of a person believe me. And you dont know if he would have a relationship but have you asked? I mean the only good way in life is to ask then find out. Then take it from there. You never know; he may feel the same! Dont succum to peer pressure. Be your own. It isnt cool to have sum bf who'll treat you like crap! Follow your heart!

Q: ive ever had a boyfriend. and im 16. whats wrong with me?? im not completly ugly, but im not like super pretty.. i think i may be prude. how do i get over that and have some fun??
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
What do looks matter. And for all you cynics, no it isnt something ugly people say it's something peaople with emotion and respect say! Looks dont matter its who you are insed that should come first. Idf someone cant appreciate you before your looks theyre not worth a damn. All you need to do to have fun is be yourself and mingle with all different crowds. You wil settle with one you like eventually(not long after you start). And then just start going out to different places with mates and all this. It doesnt matter. We all find our special someone someday! Took me 15 years...
