How can you tell if a girl has a potential interest in you and does resting her head on your shoulder signify anything? Also, what if she lays with you on the grass with her head resting on your stomach without a care in the world of what a group of friends think?

Girls do that all the time and sometimes they do like you. Other times thats just what they do depending on the type of girl. If you really wanna find out if this girl likes you just ask her yourself.


i can't really explain my love for this one guy. And it's not like teenage-i-like-you thing. i think about him all the time, and some nights i literally cry myself to sleep about him. i don't know what to do. my friends say i should ask him out or they could ask him out for me, but i just can't. i talk to him a lot but it's just not enough...please help. what should i do? (link)
I think you should take up your friends offer to if they will ask him out for you because othwerwise if you dont you may regret it.


There's a guy I REALLY like. Let's call him "Shirt".

Shirt has called me hot on a few occasions, sometimes to my face, and sometimes not.

Today, one of my friends was hounding me about who I like, and when she said to tell her, Shirt looked over.

The thing that confuses me is that sometimes he doesn't even acknowledge me.

I don't really know him that well. We have a Sadie Hawkins dance coming up, and I was wondering if I should ask him. I rate!

I'm 14/f, and he's 17/m (link)
By the sounds of this guy i dont think you need to ask him you just need to tell him about the dance and he will ask you. If not then obviously hes not that into you.


i'm going back out with my boyfriend after he cheated on me. but i know he won't do it again! a lot of people tell me that i'm stupid.... "once a cheater always a cheater!" but i love him so much and know he won't do it again! WHAT DO I DO?! (link)
I realize that he cheated on you but if you are this sure he will never do it again & you really love him then it is worth the risk.


is it odd to date somebody a year younger then you, and he's a little bit shorter then you?
Im a female.

No it is NOT. If you like him that what counts not his size.


Alright. I am 17 and ive had sex alot. but the thing is...my parents think im still a virgin. and my brother found out about me and this guy last night. and now hes like holding it against me. i am pretty paranoid cause i mean. he usually doesnt tell on me but sometimes he does. what should i do? come clean or just see what happens? (link)
Your 17 years old. Your life, your choice & your self. If he does tell your parents they cant exactly do anything about it if your 17! You're legal to do it and i think that if your parents want you to be happy they will trust you.


At the beginning of the school year is when we met and we talked and flirted alot :-/ we became really good friends til he told me he liked me I didn't like him at the time cause I thought he was ugly and I thought we was to good of friends he liked me for awhiel til he gave up now it's near the end of the year and we still talk but not as much he kind of picks on me alot and everytime i say something to him he makes a big joke out of everything..It makes me mad but now im starting to kind of like it..He was such a sweetheart before he started acting like a jerk and I realize I really do like him.. I'm afraid to tell him cause he might just make a big joke out of it like everything else what should i do? (link)
Well he said he likes you. You have to ask him if he still does and if he does there you have it. He could be the person you have been looking for.


Okay. This is going to be a longer entry but i'd really love the advice, i need some help on this one. So there's a guy at my school. this is going to sound incredibly typical, but i really do like him a lot. I have for a long time, i think its been about 5-6 years. We were together on and off for the majority of last year, but we had some conflicts and he said he didnt want a romantic relationship over the summer, but maybe once school started up again. This school year is almost over, and he's basically told me and some of my friends he liked me. We flirt with each other a lot, but every once in a while we just kind of stop talking, like for a week or so. I dont really know why, except that he's kind of shy when it comes to me. But with other people he's totally out there, and doesnt hold back at all. Recently, another girl has started to like him too. She's apparently really obsessed, and i do mean obsessed. She writes poems about him and basically freaks out everytime she hears his name. she follows him around and he's all she ever talks about. He knows about all of it, and has no interest in her. i feel bad for her, but at the same time i'm kind of annoyed. she found out he liked me and watches me all the time. her friends question me, him, his friends, my friends, and other people about our feelings for eachother all the time. One of this girls friends asked him if he liked me and he said if he liked me he'd ask me out. I was disappointed at first but just earlier that week we'd been flirting like crazy and his friends were telling everybody about how he talks about me so much and how much he likes me. I'd love to talk to him about it but the truth is i'm totally shy. I really need some advice, either on what i could do to get over my fears or what some of that stuff means. For those of you who read this far, thank you so much. Like i said i really need some help. ♥ (link)
Well you say your totally shy but if you have been flirting this often i think its time you do something about it.

And if you cant build up the courage to ask him out yourself or see how feels get a good friend to do it.


does it sound like this guy likes me as more than a friend?
Well he had moved a couple of weeks ago. Before he moved we were usually in regular contact. He gave me his old computer before he left. He just got his internet hooked up. He gave me his private cell number, and also wanted to talk on msn messanger with me. In my experience, a guy won't volunteerly give out his private cell phone to a girl unless he's interested.
Well we started messanging each other a couple of days ago. When we talk it's usually for quite a long time; atleast an hour. He has been saying things like that he really missed me (with a crying face), and that he thought I was funny. I told him that I had a dream about the two of us a week ago and then asked if he ever did, and then he said he couldnt recall; but put a picture of a smiley face blushing. He also kept sending me winks and nudges. I also told him after my long shift last night that I wanted to soak in the tub and he sent me a smiley face with a huge grin and he said "GO FOR IT"! I also asked him if he liked talking to me on messanger and he said "for sure; you're a great person to know and talk to".
We talked for about an hour last night; and then he asked me what time I worked today because he wants to talk to me again.
So does it sound like there is something there more than a friendship? Or am I reading too much into it? (link)
I actually have a couple of FRIENDS i am like that too but it depends on what he is like. Does he do this too all the girls or just you.

Find out and if it turns out that it is just you he does it too, then your not being paranoid.


I'm sorry if this is kind of long..

helpful info: 15/f..all girls school... this was at an all-guys school dance....

last night i was at this dance. i was outside with some friends because we were waiting for a few people to arrive. so, this friend of mine, introduces me to his friends. One of these friends asks me if i wanted to go inside and dance, so i was like.. sure. we went inside and started dancing for a while. Then, they were having like this contest or whatever and we were watching and he put his arm around me and said: "thank you for dancing with me!"

at the end of the night the guy kisses me. I asked him "what was that?!" and he said "i like you" i tried to make it kind of clear that i'm not a slut u know, someone that just kisses anyone. he said that he could tell i'm not a slut, but he meant no harm by it, he just liked me. so i was like ok. then when i was leaving, he kissed me again the parking lot, and literally like carried me and spun me around and he even held my hand. i was kind of shocked because he just met me, but on the other hand, i could tell that he didn't mean any harm, he just liked me...

but, my mother saw me from the parking lot. she was appauled because she thinks she knows every one of my friends like the back of her hand. she claimed to have never seen this child in her life... and asked me who that was that i was making out with. i wasn't even really "making-out". i agree that it was a little weird for the first time that you meet someone, but he didn't seem like trouble or anything. he said that he was sorry, he just couldn't control his "impulse" but that he was really sorry he didn't mean any harm by it. but my mother is super worried about this! she told me that she couldn't even sleep last night thinking of this... and in my opinion that's a little extreme!

if you can give me any advice on this, i would appreciate it a lot. i really need help on how to get my mother out of these things. i wish she could just get over it, i've told her about other times when i've made out with guys and shes always been like "thats great!" please answer soon

thanks again!

It is completly normal for a parent to be worried about a child making out with someone they just met.

I think you should get to know this guy and then tell your mum about him so that she can calm down about him if she knew that you know about him.


about 3-4 months ago my boyfriend and I split. I was so upset that he wouldn't let me explain my reasons for what had happened that I wrote him a long letter. I really did love him and I still do.I just didn't like what he said and did to me. In that letter I said some pretty nasty things. I have been thinking about him alot lately, and would reallylike to call him. should I? I mean after the letter that I wrote I'm afraid he won't talk to me, or if he does it will be to say some more mean things to me. What should I do? and If I should call him what should I say? (link)
I think you should call him, if you really love this guy and are this upset about him, then it is definatly worth it. Besides it is really important that you hear how he feels too. Because for all you know he feels the exact same wasy. And if he does and you dont call him you'll regret it for the rest of your life.


My bf (well...ex bf), Mike, and I were dating on and off for about 2.5 years. When ever we broke up, it was only for about 2 weeks or so and for a stupid reason.


Well last time we broke up (before this time anyway) was in Aug. and we stayed broken up for almost 2 months. We went to our homecomings together (we go to different schools) and got back together then. For the first months of getting back together, the relationship was great, almost perfect.


Then around the beginning of Feb., it started to drag on. It just wasn't there anymore. We started seeing each other less, I wouldn't care if he hung around other girls (which is crazy because I get overly jealous), just drifting apart. In the whole 2 years, that's never happened before. So, we decided that it was time to end the so called relationship, for good. The happened 2 weeks ago. One week before spring break (our spring break was the first week of March so it just ended)


Even though we go to different schools, we hang out with the same people. So we still see each other constantly. We also went on our spring break trip together with all of our friends. We had a blast except for that fact that we just couldn't be civil to each other. It was like one argument after another. And I have no idea why. Our break up was mutual and we were both okay with it. But know, out of no were, we can't stand to be around each other.


We cannot ruin our friend's good times because or our arguing. What's going on here? We're both 18 by the way.
(link)
You should talk to him about the arguing around your friends. You have been going out for the past 2 odd years, you should know each other well enough to sit down and talk to each other even if its just for 5 minuites.

Besides if it works out you will be able to move on in life with your friends and if you arent arguing you could also possibly become friends with each other once again.


warning --this is extremely long =\
ok well im 14/f in 8th grade.
ok so the summer before 7th grade like changed everything. theres this boy, chris that i never really talked to until that summer. i dont kno how it started but one day we just started talking online and he told me how he used to like me and everything. after that we just kept talking throughout the whole summer, and that's when i started to like him.
we continued to talk online, but we never actually hung out. then one day, i told him i liked him. he said he liked me too but i kinda just shrugged it off and we didn't go out or anything.
so then 7th grade started. we hardly talked for the first couple months. then i remember in october, there was a halloween dance, and my one friend, who was really good friends with him at the time, was like oh you guys should dance together.. we didn't. i was stupid and just like stood there. i'm also REALLY REALLY shy, so talking to him online for me was easy, but to his face, i got like speechless. i know that after a while though, i'd become more outgoing around him. but that never happened..
so during november, he asked me out again. except it was online and through my friend. i, for the second time, was stupid, and said no. i regret it to this day. like the time before that, he didnt actually ask me out. but this time, he was, and it was soo weird for me cause he would've been my first boyfriend, so i just like freaked out and said no. i regret it soo much. i just wonder how things would've been =[
anyway, i think after that, he had this thing with like kicking me in the hall. lol not like to hurt me.. but yeah soo that was like our thing for a week or two, but then one day i went over to him to kick him and he was like "im not kicking you anymore" i dont know what exactly he meant by that. i dunno if he meant this is stupid, i dont want to get in trouble [cause one time a teacher yelled at us lol] or that he didnt like me anymore. but i duno
after that we continued to talk online still. but it was becoming more me iming him first and he didnt talk as much, it was usually me talking the most .
the rest of 7th grade was just a blur. towards the end he went out with different girls, and rarely talked to me. i still imed him online, but he acted like he didnt care.
i know this sounds weird, but i became kinda like stalkerish online. i like imed him everyday. i regret it alott .i guess i was just desperate for him to like me or something.
the summer was like that too..so then 8th grade started and i dunno what happened. we rarely talk except if he asks to borrow a pen or something. he's only in one of my classes. one time in like september i kinda just like let out my feelings when i was iming him. he told me that im shy, which i know i am..i think thats why he doesnt like me.. he liked me in 6th grade because he didnt know me, and now he thinks he does, but he doesnt b/c im not always shy.
anyway, i havent spoken to him online since september or october. i talk to him in school rarely, but its not even talking its like, him asking me for a pencil and me being like "here" ughh. i just wish things were back to the way they used to be. like the day before 7th grade he was like i cant wait to go to school tomorrow cause ill see you..=[ i miss that.
now we never talk. AND he has a girlfriend..they were going out since october but broke up in february like, twice, but not they're back together. i doubt it will last..
i mean like sometimes i'll catch him looking at me. i duno. i still like him so muchh. he probably doesnt even remember or care, about what happened between us. i just wish he would realize what it means to me. i dunno wut to do. how should i talk to him? i want us to atleast talk more again. i know i should get over him but ive tried and i cant. should i say something to him in class, and what should i say? should i try iming him again? or would that be weird since i havent imed him since september? im desperateee=[ thank you so much (link)
I can totally relate to whats happening to you & as you say you cant get over him i think it sounds like somebodys falling in love.

I realize how hard this is for you, you should try to talk to him in person sometime and get the truth out. I know it will be scary but in the long run it will be over with, and you never know what you can find at the end of the tunnel.


i broke up with my boyfriend and said that i just wanted to be friends then he was saying that he loved me and stuff like that. i only feel like i still like him when he talks about other girls and stuff. well like yesterday he started going out with my best friend and she knew i still liked him. on his away messages he always puts i love sarah turner.
he never put i love paityn smith on his away message and we went out for almost 3 months and they have been going out for one day! we arent friends anymore because of this. and i really want to keep it that way.i dont know what to do , and im miserable now without him. do you think its just jealousy or do i really love him?
im in the 6th grade and hes in 7th i know this probably sounds stupid, but he is the only boy ive ever loved.
thank you for reading this
paityn (link)
i think that you need to talk to him and work it out together to find out if you really do love him. If he is your first love that is something special and you want that to last but you have to remember there will be other people in your life. Trust your heart is the answer.
