Im a fifteen year old girl who just got caught from being on the run with my best freind. While I was on the run I met this guy. He's amazing, and so sweet, I feel like I need him! But He lives by where I used to live (with my dad) and now Im with my mom like an hour away. I have no way to talk to him! The day I got caught by the cops I was supposed to go back to his house later that night but I couldnt and I havent talked to him since I got caught! I want to see/talk to him so bad! I miss him and cant get him out of my mind. I think I found my first love! It hurts so bad, please dont give me advice to forget about him cause I CANT do it! What should I do. Im seriously thinking about going on the run again just so I can see him.

Well, you've got guts. All I ever dream of is running far away, and you just up and do it. And so young too...how far did you get, anyway?
Seriously though, I wouldn't consider running away again. You did it so recently, and they probably have you under a lot of surveillance. You'll get caught even quicker this time.
And think of your parents. I don't know you, and I can't imagine what could possibly be so bad to make you run away, but I'm gonna take a guess here and say that you think your parents are tyrants, and you just wanted to be free. I'm sure they love you, and they care. That goes for your friend as well.
About the boy... do you know of any way to reach him? Of course no one's going to tell you to suddenly forget him. It would be insensitive, and hypocritical. Everyone has first loves, and no one wants to hear crap about it. I'd suggest you try to contact him, via phone or email, and if you cant , just cool it for a couple of weeks. Be patient. I'm very sure you'll see him again. Don't give up, though.
Best of luck.

Okay, so theres this guy in my Theathre class. Hes a senior and I'm a sophomore. We do alot of exersices with partners, and sometimes my teacher lets us pick our partners. The 2 times that we were allowed to pick our partners he wanted to be my partner. (the 2nd time i wasnt his partner cause I already had a partner). During theathre, we make alotttt of eye contact with each other. I also always pass him in the hallway after 9th period. He always looks me directly in the eye! Today, he was literally face-to-face with me. When we passed each other, our shoulders almost touched. Thats how close we were. And he was the one who came closer to me.

So, I sort of developed a crush on him. The thing is, hes a senior. I honestly dont know if he likes me. But I kinda have a feeling that he mayyy be interested in me. What do you think i should do? I think it's too early in the year to talk to him like for real, cause I haven't known him that long. Also, do you think that hes interested? One of my friends is telling me that I shouldn't go for him cause hes a senior and next year he's gunna be gone. Then I have like 3 of my other friends telling me to go for him because they think he's interested in me. So I dont know what to do! Please help! Thanks soo much ♥

ps - sorry its kinda long haha

You never mentioned his age, not that it matters.
And what do you mean "too early in the year"? We're in June..of course, everyone's school may be different..
I say you go for him. Sounds like he's very interested, and this year's your only chance.
You don't know him because you haven't talked to him much. It takes some effort. Talk to him once in a while. Start a conversation about how stupid the teacher is, or how talentless the class is, or what his plans are for next year.
It won't hurt to try, and you'll hate yourself later if you never do.
Seriously, this life is so fleeting.
Luck.

how do I know if my boyfriend wants to kiss me?

Well, he'll usually make googly eyes before he leans in to kiss you. Their way of being seductive, I guess. Or, you know, he might just ask. Anyway, just kiss him first, it's a whole lot simpler. Save you a huge step...

Heya, im a 17 year old guy (18 next month) and iv been alone for what seems like a life time..i know i should count myself lucky for the one girlfriend i have had which was 5 years ago now :/

anyway i get kinda lonely and i know iv got alot more waiting before some one comes into my life and makes me happy. tips for the lonlyness please?

I like Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Guitar, Drums, Art and Making somthing worthwhile eg: songs and video's (skate or snowboarding) if you could give me artistic hints for video idea that would be appreciated too thanks :) but use it as a side note ;D

*Hey, you're very welcome. I'm shy as heck too...sometimes I get scared I might be Agoraphobic or something. It's really all about faking it. Faking happiness, confidence, whatever's necessary. I'm sure you have a lot of friends, just go out with them. Keep the girlfriend issue off you mind. There's a time for everything in this life, don't give up. Let me know if you need any more advice; it's what I'm here for =].*




Oh. My god. Do you know what I would give for a guy like you to exist in my city? You sound like a really awesome guy. All the guys I know like rap, sex and fighting. That's it. That's all there is to keep themselves busy. Oh, not to mention the weed and alcohol.

I've been hearing the same thing for as long as I can remember, and I got to experience it not long ago: things we want, come when we least expect them. I'd wanted a boyfriend so bad, I stop obsessing over it, and I got one! Just like that. I didn't even give him a chance, dumped him a week later. I realized a boyfriend is not what I need right now at all.

I just think you should be patient, and not resign so easily. Don't confine yourself to your room. Go out and have fun, but don't go out just to look for a girlfriend. She'll come to you, eventually, especially if you're in or entering college. Keep busy, but with friends, and social activities. Best of luck

Okay...I am an 18 year old girl in high school...
This might be a little lengthy, and detailed...>.< Sorry...
Um..
Let's start in...2000..When I was in 4th grade, I met a boy, and we became good friends. I liked him, but it was a kid-crush. Well, i didn't see him again until 2005, when a mutual friend had a big get-together at her house, in my freshman year of high school. He was there, and the instant i saw him, i remembered my feelings for him. When i arrived at my friend's house, everyone was outside. I got attacked and jumped on by some of my friends, and then he came over, and asked if i remembered him. I was thinking "How could i forget you.." (because even though i had liked other guys and stuff, i had not forgotten him), but i said something else because i was feeling a bit shy. Anyway, that day, we had a good time, getting along very easily like 2 good friends who had never lost touch. After this, though we didn't go to the same high school (because, even though he lives really close to me, he went to a specialized high school that was farther away), we continued to see each other at random b-day parties and get togethers of friends. My feelings for him grew, but unlike my other friends, i couldn't simply "confess" and tell him my feelings. He was kind to me, but that doesn't mean he liked me, and rejection was one of my greatest fears. I continued to live with a painful pang of unrequited love. We would talk and joke at parties, but never hung out on our own or anything. Then, in the summer before senior year, i found great news. My crush was coming to my high school (because he got in trouble at his old one sad but...). I was so happy. On the first day, we even ran into each other, and spent the whole lunch period together. It was great. But after that day, i didn't see him again. My lunch got changed. In the second semester, it changed back. We began spending lunches together again, and really getting to know each other and chatting a lot. I was really wondering if he could possibly like me, but i kept telling myself there was no way...because i knew i was ugly, and there was nothing great about me. (i think my friend had had his heart broken in the past; experiencing unrequited love a few times the way i was at that time. Anyway) But my love for him continued to grow.
At lunch, we started meeting in a place no one really knew about. It was dark, and we couldn't really see each other, but we would just talk and i didn't feel scared. I just loved spending time with him. Sometimes i wondered what was going on; why would he want to spend time with me like that, thinking he must liked me if so. But i still was unsure. It got to a point where we would poke each other back and forth, and somehow we started holding hands. I questioned myself even more, wondering what was happening between us. At these times, there were no words, and i was too scared to ask him anything, even a simple question of "why." It just continued to go on like this.....
Then we got in trouble for being there, put into CAEP for a week long. We got out, and nothing really changed between us. We were like more than friends, but not quite a couple. I was confused, but happy.
One night, he texted me late, like 4 am, asking if i wanted to take a walk. We were together, talking and jut hanging out, until about 6, which is when i usually wake up for school.
That day at school, my friend and I both got in trouble (but he was in worse than I – he was being sent to an alternative school for about a month.). That evening, he texted me saying he was talking another walk, and I came. My mom was so angry at me for getting in trouble again; I was glad to leave the house. We just walked around, talking about what happened. It was dark by time we were coming back. Since we lived so close, I walked back to his house with him, and was going to head home alone (since I might get in more trouble for my mom for being with someone – and I never knew what to expect from her. We just sat down on his driveway for a while, kind of hugging, and just feeling sympathy for ourselves and each other. Finally, I was going to leave, and he gave me his jacket, because it was cold outside. Not quite understanding, I took off mine and said “Here! Take mine!”, and put his on – so we kind of exchanged. >.< haha.
I got up, and just went to hug him one more time, and he hugged me back tightly… then without warning, he just came closer and we kissed…I was alarmed and though I liked it, I was so scared and had no idea of what to do. I was just frozen there for about 2 seconds and then I sort of pulled back…right away I said “I’m sorry!” And I hugged him again…we just sat there because I was like emotionally distraught and he must have been feeling it too. We tried to talk about it, but everytime I tried to explain something or say how I felt, I stuttered or a weird strangled noise would escape my mouth, and all I could really say was sorry. He wanted to try again, but after that, there was no way I could. Well we took more walks in the middle of the night, which I loved….but after a while, we just stopped.
Eventually he came back to school, where we continued to hang out. Things kind of went back to normal. But nothing really happened until recently. We spent lunch inside the auditorium at school, which is pretty vacant most of the time. There was this dark hallway thing we just sit in (Ah, we both kind of like the dark >__.< He’s a great friend. I’ve liked him for a long time, longer than I’ve ever liked anyone. Neither of us has ever had a relationship before, and when he kissed me 2 months ago, it was the first time for both of us. I feel so regretful. Our time together is running out; the last full day of school is Monday, I don’t know if I’ll get to see him during the summer, and he’s going to college 10 hours away from me. I don’t know what I want, I don’t know what to do. I feel bad about letting him down. I’m still confused and it’s hard to believe that he likes me, but I guess he does. I actually wanted to kiss him back. Very much. Ever since the first time, I’ve been thinking about that, hoping it would happen again, and telling myself that if it ever did, I would be ready and I would kiss him back. But I just can’t. I messed up again! I get scared and freeze up every time. It’s hard for me to face people, and make eye contact, and even though this was in the dark, I still couldn’t do it.
I wish there was one more chance, and if we don’t see each other on Monday, there might never be. If things happened this way again, or if he asked me again, I would definitely kiss him this time. But I feel like I messed things up for good this time; I mean, it took a little more than 2 months for us to get to that point again. I love him so much. I wouldn’t care about looking or seeming stupid and not knowing what to do; I just want another chance. So what do I do? It’s not like I can just ask him now, after what happened. And I know he wont initiate things, after what I did…he’s pretty shy too.
So what should I do? Just live with this? It’s breaking my heart. I have never told anyone about this. That’s why I’m typing it here; I just need to let it out, and I want to see what people say about it. And all that background info is just to help people get an idea of the struggle I’ve gone through, and how long this has been going on; how long it took to finally reach this point.
Help!?!
Why is this so hard for me, and so easy for other people?
Have you ever had such an experience?
Um….what would you do if you were in my situation? D;


Love,
Confused, Idiotic, Shy, Stupid person. D; lol

Before anything, don't call yourself ugly. Beauty is one of those " If a tree falls down but no one is around to hear it.... " things. As long as someone considers you pretty, you can never be ugly. It's simply impossible. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but it makes perfect sense to me. People can only see what you allow them to see, and as long as you have the attitude and believe yourself to be beautiful, you'll always be beautiful. Your opinion of yourself is worth more than anyone else's.

That being said....

Oh god, this is too sweet! Completely worth the long, long read. I find your story to be very compelling, and very common. Of course there's others who've gone through this; are going through this right now. I don't think first kisses are naturally great for any teenager. There's always that hint of awkwardness, but you have the advantage of knowing that your guy isn't mocking you, he's feeling the same way. First kisses are hard enough without having to worry about the other person judging you.

Monday may be the last day of school, but it's not the day the world ends. There's always time. Just throwing that in there. I think you should kiss him as soon as possible, because its awful for you both to be missing out of so much happiness because you're worried about a second, not first, second kiss. You have to realize that this guy has been after you for a while, then you kiss, don't kiss for 2 months, and he's STILL crazy for another. That's GOOD. That means you got him hooked. You were obviously not as bad as you think, so you're embarrassed about nothing.

Kissing, like everything else, is something that can be perfected with practice, and who better to practice on than him? You've already kissed, you like him, and you're comfortable with him. It's perfection.

What I think you should do is text him in the middle of the night, the same way he did to you, and ask him if he'd like to go for a walk. He won't refuse. Kissing a guy can be scary if you're worrying about it, and then you look him straight in the face and lean in, because you're expecting it to happen. That's why I prefer the side approach, sort of like when he almost kissed you and your face was buried in his neck. During your walk, hug him so that you're sort of in the same position, whisper something in his ear, kiss his neck, his ears, his nose, and work your lips slowly towards his. This way, its less straightforward and more romantic. Plus, you initiated it, so you're in control. He's the one who's nervous.

There's so many things you can do, so many things you should do, but don't let him get away. Who's to say that after so many attempts, he doesn't worry about you thinking he's a terrible kisser? Do it for him, for yourself. Omg, do it for my sake! Sorry, I just get a bit excited =].

Anyway, BEST OF LUCK and please feel free to ask me anything, if you're hesitant or scared, I'm here for support. I hope all goes well, from the deepest bottom of my heart.

hi my friend sort of likes this boy and dosentt know what to do he says he loves her all the time and will not leave her alone well today she said she would give him a chance and he blew it because i use to go out with him and he acted like he didnt even like me.well eney way there is this other girl and she get who ever she wants so she dosent know what to do doese she go out with him or not please responde i am begging you

Ok... Hi. First of all, forget about the other girl. Pay attention to what she does, and make sure she doesn't get to close to your friend's crush, but don't worry too much about her. Tell your friend to concentrate on *herself*, and what she's gonna do to get this guy. You're always going to have competition, no matter what you're doing; that's just life. Obsessing over the other person is useless and inneffective. Second, remind me again how this guy "blew it". I don't see how him not liking you has anything to do with your friend and him. Again, this is a 2-person thing, nothing more. Lastly, ask your friend what it is she feels for this guy. Is it pity, annoyance, or possessive-ness? Has she always liked him, does she like him at all; did she say yes because she felt bad, because she wanted to shut him up, or to keep him away from the other girl? If her heart's not in it, she won't get anywhere. Good luck to you both.

i love my boyfriend of 5 months and he's the best thing that ever happened to me....but i feel that i cant concentrnate on anything else that much because i'm always thinking of him...and like when im in class and i dont like what we're doing (pretty much every day) i think about him all the time...i dont like to be like this cause then i dont understand what were doing in class and stuff but i would never break up with him cause i love him so much.
what should i do?

16/f

What you should do is ENJOY. Think of it like this: how many billion questions have you read on this site about girls constantly thinking about guys they can't have? And that's only a SMALL percent of the girls in this world. Not everyone is lucky enough to ever BE with the guy of their dreams, but you are! So, instead of obsessing about him, realize that if you guys are good together, he's not going anywhere, but neither are you if you do bad in school. Think about YOURSELF once in a while. His glorious image won't save you when you take a test, or when you're applying for college. Trust me, guys can do nothing for you. Learn to separate you academic life from your love life, because one has nothing to do with the other. Be you in school, but so-and-so's girlfriend after school, otherwise, you're gonna end up messing up your future for a temporary present. Good luck.

so my sophomore year i saw this really cute junior in my gym class. i told my friend who was his next door neighbor and i gave her a note to give to him saying hat i thought he was cute and i gave him my number .. a few days later, i didnt egt a response, so i decided to take action for myself & i walked up to him & introduced myself & we talked in the hall for like 2 min & then he said he would text me. i was thrilled until he didnt text me all weekend and that week. i asked my friend to ask him what was going on&he said that i was a nice girl, but he liked someone else. i was so disappointed because i really gave my all into something i thought would work, especially since im naturally shy. then in the summer i went up to talk to him at this fair his band played at. we talked for like 2 min& i tried to keep things friendly&normal as if nothing happened. now its december, & i see him in school. his friends all stare at me, so im guessing he told them everything that happend. when i pass him in the hallways i ignore him because its really awkward but i see him look at my from the corner of his eye. but when pass eachother closely in the hall, he avoids me. i dont know whether to move on or not but i feel like i still have a crush on him. what do you think he is thinking? should i talk to him? is it too late to say anything since ive been avoiding him for the past 4 months? i want to be friendly but i wouldnt even know how to go about it without it being awkward&weird. should i moveon or give it one last chance?

Oh man, I feel your pain, I really do. Something like this happened to me not so long ago. I guess if there's one thing I've grasped, it's that sometimes a person's rejection has nothing to do with us. He did say he was interested in someone else, and that may very well still be the case. He may find you a little intimidating, since you seem to take the initiative. It can be anything, you never know, but it's no fault of yours.

Anyway, all pessimism aside, his shyness could be playing a huge role in this. I'm not saying go up to him, cause I don't want you getting humiliated. I'm going through the same awkward-crush-thing at school too, only the scenario is reversed. Some days, when he feels like it, he talks to me, most days we ignore each other. Sometimes that works out for the best, and if it's meant to be, it'll happen. I know that sounds like the corniest phrase in the world, but I've messed up a lot of good things by simply being impatient, instead of waiting for them to come on their own.

If you insist on drawing his attention, there's no better way to him than through his friends. It may probably be a little embarrassing at first, but at least you can find out what they know; what he's told them. You can also go over to your friend's house more often, and try to make sure he always sees you. The worst thing you can do to a person is isolate them, specially in a big crowd. No one likes to feel left out. If you befriend people around him and show him your life has gone on without him, all while subtly ignoring the crap outta him, he's bound to take notice.

Meanwhile, keep ignoring him in the hallways, and interact with everyone other than him. Don't show any signs of discomfort or insecurity. He'll be craving your attention in no time. Luck

Ok im a 17year old guy I really really like this girl who is in my school and I think that she likes me though i cant be sure but the problem is that she is 3 years younger than me.I was wondering if i asked her out would people think that im a wierdo because im going out with 14year old girl?.
Im still going to ask her out but im just curious.

I had my first boyfriend a month after my 11th birthday, and he was 15. He didn't care much, so neither did I, of course no one ever dared give him any trouble. Just be ready for some people who'll doubt and antagonize your motives. You're pretty much on track though; 17 year olds aren't really looking to date anyone older than themselves. As long as you're both happy.

14-F
I really like this guy
Lets call him P
So, me and P. We talk everyday, every time we see eachother
ALL my friends insisted he liked me back
So, a few day ago, P found out I liked him
That same day, we talked alot on the bus
He didnt think I knew he knew
So today, he completely ignores me
I try talking to him, he looks at me, & turns his back to me

Im so hurt
Ive been crying my eyes out
What does this mean?
What should I do

I have no confidence what-so-ever

He's probably just nervous. It's a little embarrasing to know how someone feels about us, specially when we don't feel the same way, yet still have to face them every day. Sometimes we feel like we're being forced to feel mutual, not to hurt their feelings. I'm not saying this is the case, you didn't give much background, but it's a possiblity. If he does like you, it must be even more embarrassing. You probably both like each other, yet no one makes the first move, scared of the other's possible reaction. It can be awkward. You should definitely talk to him, and I mean in person, none of that friends-doing-it-for-me crap. Direct is always better. That way you know the answer quick, straight from the source. I wouldn't be too worried about the ignoring. Some guys deal with love by acting macho; boys will be boys. Again, your best bet is to talk to him, and don't give up just yet. Luck

I am 21 and a few months ago i became engaged to my boyfriend of several months. I went to college in another state where he was playing in the minor baseball league. My parents had never met him and when i called to tell them that not only had i met a guy but we were engaged they were pretty upset. The wedding is now 2 weeks away and my fiance and i are leaving tomorrow to go home for the wedding. (We decided to get married in my home town)Yesterday i found out that i am pregnant. I'm not sure if i should wait until after the wedding has happened before i tell my parents or tell them right away. They are very conservative and since they didn't take to well to me marrying someone they haven't met yet, i'm pretty sure they won't take it to well that i'm already pregnant.
My thought was to just wait and tell them that it happened on our honeymoon thinking that they would at least feel better about the fact that it happened after we were married. Any other ideas?

That's actually a good idea, though it depends how far along you are. You don't want them thinking your baby was born at 6 months when it was actually a healthy 9 month long pregnancy. A few weeks, maybe a month's difference isn't a big deal. If they're really that conservative and you feel they'd be ashamed, I wouldn't tell them until after you're married. At least it won't be such a hard blow when you're wed. It is your husband after all. Just try and avoid the "when did it happen?" questions, and stay away from any other sex questions such as "didn't you guys know you had to use a condom your first time?!", no matter how comfortable you are with them. From now on, it's your husband, your baby, and you, so you really won't have time to listen to strict parents. Anyway, I know that wasn't your question, but I just thought I'd leave some input. Good luck

heyy..i gave my ex a promise ring after 4 months we were dating...we dated for 9 months...we broke up 3 months ago...after we broke up she never wore the ring and we hardly spoke..now 3 months later were on better terms trying to work things out slowly...i asked her if she sold the ring or got rid of it and she said no and that shes actually wearing it...when i saw her this past saturday she had it on her right ring finger..ladies, what does that mean when a girl wears her promise ring on her right ring finger?

It means there's something she can't let go of. If she somehow knew you were gonna see each other that day, there's a big possibility she wore it to impress [or confuse] you. Either way, wearing it seems important to her, even if it's only recently, and she's either bold or ready for commitment. That's just my take on it =].

I am a thirteen year old girl - btw. So at my school I have an huge crush on a boy. And I am pretty sure he likes me too. But you see, a ton of other girls like him too, and I am scared that I might lose his attention while I have it. What should I do? How can I keep him interested with out moving to fast?
katwashala.

It really all depends on you. I've always guessed the reason guys like me is because flirting comes very naturally to be, so it's not that hard to flirt and all the while seem uninterested. It's all a game really. First you attract him, then you let HIM do the following. If a lot of girls like him, he'll most likely pick the one he CAN'T have. It's human nature. I know I'm like that. Smile at him a lot, and be charming from a distance. Then let him see you're not like the other girls who'd die for him [even if you are], and that you want his friendship and need nothing more. Ignore him a little, but make sure he's always watching. It's fool-proof, I swear. Good luck

I am a sophomore in highschool and I am sort of in a relationship with a 22 year old. Do you think this is strange or perfectly fine? Any advice/comments are appreciated :]

"Age is an issue of mind over matter; if you don't mind, it doesn't matter"
-Mark Twain

That's truly one of my favorite quotes. Heck, I live my life by it. Unless you feel this guy is trying to coherce you into something you don't wanna do, it's fine. No matter what we say here, you'll probably just keep dating him anyway.who are others, specially the government, to tell you who to love? That's just my honesty, but good luck.

To make a very long story short there's this guy at my school that I really, really like. I've liked him since last year and I never really stopped. Over the summer I thought that maybe I'd gotten over him because I didn't really think about him but seeing him again this year brought back all my feelings for him. The only thing that REALLY sucks is that I don't know him. I don't have any classes with him, I'm not friends with any of his friends, I've never really talked to him.. I know it's completely lame to like someone I don't know and I've tried getting over him but I can't. I've liked other guys but each time I end up comparing them to him.

You're probably wondering how I could like a guy I don't know so much and the truth is, no matter how shallow it sounds, that he's really good looking. But that's not the only reason I'm attracted to him. I've seen him when he's with his friends and I can just tell that he's a genuinely nice, amazing guy. One of my best girl friends is in his class this year and she had to work with him on an assignment and she told me just how nice and smart he really is. That he's not stuck up, conceited, and snobby like most guys who, if they looked like him, were as popular as him, etc. would act. She's trying to become closer friends with him so that she could introduce us but it's not that easy. And I'm tired of liking him so much and not being able to do anything about it. I want to be able to talk to him and hang out with him and stuff.

My main problem really is that I'm super shy and self-conscious. I'm usually like that with new people but when it comes to the guy I like then it's about ten times worse. Most of my friends tell me that I should just go up to him and try to strike up a conversation but I can't because I just freeze up! Most of my friends also think that he may like me too because some of the things he does kind of hint at him possibly liking me but I don't really know what to think. I guess it could be because I don't wanna get my hopes up but I don't know! Please help me! I don't know what to do and I need major help! Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Girl, NEVER feel bad about being shallow. Anyway, take it from someone who moved to ANOTHER COUNTRY for a perfect stranger she fell in love with but knew nothing about, the worst feeling is regretting not having tried when you had the chance. It could be that he's just shy. Honestly, it's also a possiblity that he hasn't approached you cause he doesn't like you [but let's ignore that for now]. You guys don't know each other, meaning just like you don't know how he feels about you, he has no clue you like him. If you don't have classes with any of his friends, take advantage of the fact that your friend is his project partner. See if there's a way that she could invite him to her house, and then show up COMPLETELY by mistake ;). Add him on myspace, facebook, or aim. If all else fails, you're gonna have to catch him when he's alone and talk to him [which is actually not a terrible idea to begin with]. Make sure to catch his attention and smile often, and brush past him, touch his hand with yours, or accidentally bump into him. Close encounters will increase the chances of him approaching you. It's really not as complicated as it seems. And really, don't let yourself regret not having apmething with him because of shyness. It's a horrible feeling. Good luck

My boyfriend (19) and I (18) have been dating for almost a year now. He's always been extremely nice to me and loving. He'd tease me sometimes but in a cute way. Over the past month or so I've noticed the teasing increasing a lot and it's getting well...mean. He'll point out my flaws about myself that I hate (my ears, and ankles), make fun of the way I speak at times, and he'll cuss at me alot more. Not like, cuss me out but last night, he called me a bitch and I was absolutely blown away--I couldn't believe it but he said he was joking and he was laughing and joking around about it. He also told me to shut up. After that, I confronted him about it and he claims that nothing has changed about the way he is towards me. But something is clearly different and I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what. The cussing isn't really that bad, it was just last night that he did that but the teasing goes get very mean.

Usually, guys do this when they get defensive about something. Maybe you've insulted or embarrassed him without noticing, and that's his way of getting even. It sounds like he may be mad about something you did, and now he's doing this to spite you. It could simply be that he's gotten very comfortable with you. Also, maybe he feels like you complain a lot about yourself [not saying you do, just taking a guess], and is making fun of you to make you realize you're blowing things out of proportion. Either way, talk to him again and tell him something HAS clearly changed and you want to know what it is, cause you're just not comfortable with that new relationship. Good luck.

okay its this boy i really like and weve been talking and lastyear we didnt have any clases together but this year we do and today we were like staring at eachother in class and we have the same lunch together and i called him tonight and we talked for a while but this girl has him on her my space page but thier not a couple and he wants to come see me this weekend and i do too ....but i dont know if he is not serious with her or wants to be serious with me .... and by the way last year we were already established that we like eachother please just give me some advice thanks

Who cares if she has him on her top? Doesn't mean she likes him, and it's certainly no proof that HE likes her. If you really like him, let him come over and see where it goes. And if the chick thing really bothers you, ask him if he's serious about her. Focus on the two of you and don't let the girl get to you. Luck

Well, i went to a party on friday night with my friend and my friend introduced me to one of her friends named "joe." Well, i thought joe was a pretty nice guy and was really cute. My friend told him that and he said he thought i was pretty but he liked someone else. He said he wanted to talk to me and get to know me at school tomorrow and see how i am so he can see if he would like me or not. I get really nervous around guys, especially guys who know i like them. I really want to make a good first impression but i don't want to sound nervous or embarresed when he comes to talk to me. That's just my natural reaction. He also told my friend that he didn't like girls who wouldn't talk to him or who were really shy. I am kinda shy around new people and i don't know how i am going to act not shy around him because i know i will. What do i do? How do i make a good first impression? Is there any way i can make myself less nervous? Thanks for your tips and advice!

It's all about confidence. If you don't got it, fake it. Right now, he's empowered because HE'S evaluating you, as if you were some sort of object for sale at an auction. You gotta have a sort of I-really-dont-give-a-crap-whether-you-like-me-or-not attitude [lol]. Do you get what I'm saying? I mean, don't ADMIT you're better than him, just make it clear to him that you're fine with being friends, you have no time for games, and most importantly, that you can move on faster than he can. For some reason, us humans are attracted to those who ignore us the most. And really, he isn't better than you, so there's no need for you to act nervous or in any way submissive. Even though things hardly ever turn out the way we hope, you can try practicing the conversation you two might have. That way, you'll have the upper hand. Remind yourself that he's not the first, and certainly won't be the last cute guy you meet. And again, If it doesn't work out, he's STILL not better than you. Good luck

Hi, I'm 16/m I just started at a new school. There is a girl in my Hist. Class that is insanely gorgeous. Like, you don't even know. Crazy gorgeous. Anyway, I don't really know her yet. I'd like to get to know her though. How can I break the ice? And don't tell me to just go up to her and tell her I like her. I know girls like confidence, but you have to at least know them A LITTLE before you start telling them that. So... help?

You don't have to know her COMPLETELY before approaching her, but since you're new you should find out something about her. If she's pretty, people most likely know her, so ask any friends you've made about her. Find out if she has a man, or a crush. Observe her, and not like a stalker, just her reactions to certain things, facial expressions and body language towards certain people. Make sure to catch her eye, and when you do, SMILE [just make sure not to get caught staring dead at her TOo much, cause that can be creepy]. Also, try sitting next to her, or somewhere around her. The closer you are, the more likely you are to exchange words. Another option is to write her a little note simply reading "I think you're insanely gorgeous", which is true. Girls respond to compliments. Good luck.

I have been with this guy for five yrs now and we have a son who will be three soon.There are many things about him that have just changed in the past four years and I'm only with him now for our son.I know I love him because he is my sons father and for the time we have been together but I'm just not in love with him. he has disappointed me so much.All the promises he made...he didn't accomplish not even one. He doesn't give me enough attention or time and he's just all about himself and not even since he has no car now and a sucky job so he isn't doing anything for himself anyways the list goes on and on....i have tried leaving him plenty of times but he just won't accept it even before I got pregnant and now it doesn't feel right trying to leave the father of my son. it doesn't feel right trying to look at anyone other than him for comfort but what should I do if I'm not happy by his side anymore? should I just keep sucking it up for my sons sake or try to move on and try to find love and happiness?? would that be selfish on my part? this is something that just kills me. I'm so confused and have mixed emotions because I also feel like it would be hard starting another relatinship now that I have a son, many guys don't want anuthing serious with women that already have children. and I want to get married and not have to date around...I'm 23 he is 26.please I would love to get some different opinions and just weigh out my pros and cons to conclude this dilema. thamks to all who respond.

My mom did that too. She stayed with my dad for 11 years for my brother and I. Frankly, I hate it when parent use that as an excuse, cause it makes you feel like, "Geeez, thanks. So it's all MY fault you were miserable all those years." I'm glad my parents divorced. My mom's happier, and my dad's a jerk. When we lived together we were ALL unhappy. If you really wanted to leave, you would have done so by now, cause no being can force you to do ANYTHING. Yet as a mother, you probably feel inclined to make your son happy first, which is good, except, he's only 2 years old. He knows nothing about nothing at this point, and what's best for you, is best for him. We all understand why you do what you do at some point. We wanna see our mothers happy too. But that's just from a daughter's perspective
