Q: If I wanted a boyfriend, but my parents wont let me, should I go about it the sneaky way and not tell them ? What would be the cons and pros to that if I did? I'm turning 14.

So, you can't have a boyfriend - but who says, you can't have a whole slew of friends who are boys.
Don't sneak around. You'll always get caught and you'll never enjoy the relationhip.
Building a large friend base will last longer than a secret boyfriend.

Q: So me and my boyfriend have been in a relationship for 7 months and 2 days to date. We're sophmores in highschool and extremely close. The point of my post is what exactly should I tell my mom in the way of guiding her to let me spend the night at his house? I've come out and asked her once or twice before and I've gotten "no" and "I didn't in the same bed as your father until we were married."

Her house, her rules. A sleepover with your bf will only occur when you move out.

Q: I'm really picky about the kind of guys I date, so when a guy asks me out, there's a good chance I'm going to turn him down. The thing is, I'm so bad at it! I either 1) panic and say yes, even though I don't mean it or 2) make up an excuse and hope he doesn't find out the truth or 3) ignore him and try to act like it never happened. It's so awkward & embarrassing! What are some good ways of telling a guy "thanks, but no thanks" in a straightforward but not rude way?

There are lots of things to say...
*I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
*My parents have to meet everyone I date, so I'd rather not go through that process.
*No, I have other plans.
*That's sweet of you to ask, but I'll have to say no right now.

Q: 19/F
Ok this seems long and soap-opera-ish but please bear with me. I’ve gotten rid of some of the details to make it shorter but please tell me if it isn’t clear enough. And please don't rant at me about being a cheating b**** or anything. I know I am a bad bad person. I just need you to tell me what to do.
Nate has always been the typical "rich bad boy" type. He gets a pack mentality when he is with his boys so he’s labeled an official ***hole. He's had a pretty bad past and when you get him alone, he’s different. He and I go a few years back when I wasn't into the party scene, and it got around that he "wanted" me. I shot that down and he gave up. I've been intrigued by him (i.e. had a crush on him) and we always used to exchange looks all the time at school and parties and I could feel the sizzles (but wasn’t sure it was mutual). Only last year did we start talking a bit inside and outside school. Then I finished school and didn’t see him.
In May, I met Blake. He’s ridiculously good-looking, the sweetest guy ever, and a cook. I didn’t think he was into me so I backed off then recently, Blake started showing interest in me and I was thrilled. We were perfect for each other, our life goals and views were the same, we had minor arguments sometimes, which ended with practically no resentment on either end, and we always made up quickly. It was the perfect relationship. I was still a virgin but he understood because he had only been with one chick (his year-long girlfriend in grade 11).
End of last year, Nate and I ended up at a party together. I was hammered out of my mind and we had sex in a bedroom. It was harsh to the point that he did it, shoved me away and left. I was broken after. Eventually, I told Blake and he was mostly sad for me and he did whatever he could to make me feel better. Including sex and it was just like the rest of our relationship, comfortable.
Then one day, Nate showed up at my house after I saw him at the mall and went home all shaken up. We had sex. We have had sex about five times now altogether. Usually it’s when I’m vunerable. It’s pretty much casual sex but it is explosive as in really really hot, stuff I thought didn’t exist outside novels. Blake and I haven’t even come close, even though there is some sizzle, it isn’t comparable. Told Blake once and he was mad but he came back and told me he’d still have me and he didn’t understand. Usually Nate just has sex with me and sticks around for a while and leaves but one time, he actually stayed after and kissed my face and stuff.
This is what confuses me. Blake and I are perfect for each other and it’s not a completely devoid of sexual drive either but when I’m with Nate, it feels right like it’s exactly where I belong.
I’m just so afraid of hurting Blake. I want to stay with him but at the same time, I feel like puking when I think about what a disgusting unfaithful slut I’m being. And I’m pretty sure Nate doesn’t want a relationship. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to look back twenty years from now and regret it. I know that bad boy’s can’t be tamed but I know his history and I kind of still ache for Nate but Blake is just perfect.
Help?

It doesn't sound like either relationship is an exclusive relationship. Since, Nate doesn't want a relationship - you can continue dating both until either one comes out to be a little bit better.

Q: How do you know when to kiss someone?
"You'll just know" doesn't cut it for me, k?
Is it when you stare deeply into each other's eyes and happen.. to lean in closer?
Is that the right moment to kiss?
I'm really nervous. I have kissed people before but this is my first kiss in this relationship. Usually my "first kisses" with others.. were bad.
And I want to actually remember this kiss with him.
What is better.. lipgloss or chapstick?
And what will make my breath smell good?
[I don't want to constantly pop in mints]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usually, a kiss goodbye at the end of the date. I don't pick up on the subtle cues - so I'll tell my boys just to let me know when its kiss time.
There are going to be a lot of bad kisses and it doesn't get better with practice. You just have to find the right guy to kiss.
It depends on the guy with lipgloss or chapstick. You know how some guys like to smell hair while hugging? Those are the lipgloss guys.
As for teeth, brush em good and mouthwash would make your breah smell nice w/o constantly popping in mints.

Q: Well im only 14 as you can tell.
I want a baby because they are soo adoriable.
I have a boyfriend we have had protected sex a few times already.
And would do it again.
We have been together for 2 years.
I love him and he loves me.
He is 3 years older.
My parents know and have known his family our whole lives, blah blah blah blah blahh.
So i keep telling him how much i want one but like he says i know you do but i am not ready to be a father and think about how much it would hurt and we dont have enough money.
So i need someone to try and convince me not to want one.
Because you have no idea how badly i want one.
Please help :\

Babies are cute and adorable - and eventually I want one too.
But guess what, they are a lot of work.
Can you financially afford the baby?
Do you have your own health insurance?
Would you be able to finish school successfully?
Are you emotionally stable enough to take care of another child?
It gets old and boring and tedious caring for your own kid 24/7. You get the 3 am feedings, the sickness and you won't like it.
Get your baby fix another way - work at the YMCA or volunteer at the hospital.

Q: 23 Male
I got a phone call tonight. Old friend I used to talk to a few years ago. He wanted to talk to me about a friend he has; in particular, his own girlfriend. I like to help out my friends, so I said I would help.
He mentions a name to me. It rings a bell, because it happens to be the same name of my girlfriend, but I don't tell him that. A few minutes into the conversation I find out it is the same exact person we are talking about. I keep my big mouth shut.
They've been dating for a few months. I feel a deep hurt on the inside: we've been dating a few years. I find out the problem he is having and do the best I can to help him as a friend. I act as if I know her just as a friend and nothing more. This leads him to tell me more and more about them. I'm not reeling it out of him, he's just letting it all out. Should I confront her about this? She avoids the topic when I ask about him and my friend asks about their future. What is going on here, why does she avoid things, and do I need to tell her and possibly break things off?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She avoids things because she thinks she can get away with it.
Don't let her. What she is doing is cheat and being completely unfair to you and the other guy.
I would first talk to her, let her know that you don't appreciate this type of relationship and you need to take some personal space.
I would also let your friend know that she has also been cheating with him too.

Most bf your age are sleazy and just want to hook up.
Try finding a hobby or volunteer (bf who volunteer are quite nice)
http://www.meetup.com is a good place to start

Q: ok so im going out with this guy and if we are not hanging out he always wants to be on the phone i mean i love hanging out with him 24/7 and i LOVE talking to him on the phone but i am a human and people like there space so sometimes when i need time to my self i ask him if i can get off the phone and hes like .." why ,are you just trying to get rid of me " or he says stupid crap like.." ok whatever bye"
and it makes me so angry because i really like talking to him but it makes me mad that he wont even let me take a shower because he thinks that i am not really trying to take a shower, im trying to get off the phone with him ... how do get off the phone and not start a fight?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wow, he's starting to sound clingy and untrustworthy.
Don't give him an option to respond. Just say "It was nice talking to you, have a great day!" and hang up.
And tell him the truth "Yes, I am trying to get rid of you. I don't want the phone glued to my ear."

Ice.com and overstock.com have affordable rings. As for the proprosal, you can do it on a holiday - or make it completely unexpected and do it a few days before...

Q: I've been in love with this guy now (ever since 8th grade), I'm still in highschool. He's a teacher and I'm pretty sure he's into me. We touch and have our "moments". I promised his one of his family members that I wouldn't get him in trouble but lately we've been all over each other. He's so perfect in every way. What should I do?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you know that is bad - he knows that is illegal and he'll lose his job, police trouble etc.
And you both know that eventually you will get caught, it happens - it always does.
That being said, do you still want to have a relationship? If yes, drop out of school. If no, then stop, stop now.

Q: 13/F
i take advanced swimming lessons and my teacher keep asking me to join the team but all i do is say i'll think about it.i want to join because there's a competition in march that takes place in my ex-boyfriend hometown,so i wanna join so i could see him again(to hopefully not beat the crap outta him if i do)but i don't because i would have to practice like 6 or 7 days a week and i live far from where practice is and i wouldn't be able to get a ride.so my question is what should i do?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Swim team is fun, great for the social life and keeps you healthy.
If the only reason you want to join is to beat your ex, then no - don't join.
But if you are interested in meeting new people and looking toned/healthy - then go for it. As for a ride, perhaps another swim team member can help out.

Q: I am 17 and I met this guy at a bar. He is 21 and I just wonder if other people think that is too old for me. Should I go out with him again? We exchanged phone numbers and we have talked on the phone. Any and all responses are appreciated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few red flags here, he's 21, you met him at a bar and you're asking about the age gap.
If you meet guys at a bar, you get guys who like to drink. While in some cases - its not bad, but most aren't the type of guys you need to date.
If you told him you're 17 and you know he's 21, meeting at the bar only leads to one thing. If you're just game for hooking up, then go out with him and talk to him again.
Next, if you were comfortable with the age gap, you wouldn't be looking for reassurance here.
Personally, I wouldn't go out with him again. At 17, he'll be taking advantage of you.

Q: Over the summer I was in a relationship with an older man, and while I was away serving with my church...my dad found my cell phone bill and called my guy. My dad basically said that my guy should never talk to me again. Do you think that this was right for my father to do?
Thanks,
Jenn

If you are under the age of eighteen, then YES - its correct for your father to do. He is legally, emotionally, morally responsible for you. If anything were to happen - he would also be in trouble
If you are over the age of eighteen, you're responsible for your own actions and you need to talk with him. (Unless he pays for your cell, then the answer is yes again)

Q: I was really living the life! Queen of the whole 1st year high schoolers was never hard to get used to. I was the most popularest girl in the whole grade, but only because I was head cheerleader, and ofcourse like every fairytale I had the star player on the football team, the most popularest, cutest guy in the whole grade, as MY boyfriend! Life could not get better! My dad had a great job so I was what you would call "Filthy Rich", and lived in a huge house!
Then one day my very rich dad lost his very "rich paying" job. We moved into a room in an apartment room, and I had to quit the cheer squad because we could not even pay the $80 fee. Then after that the roomer got around that I was now poor, and my boyfriend dumped me, which meant my popularity went buh-bye! Soon after that, my daddy got a call from his job asking for him back, so we got our house back and I re-joined the cheer swuad and the roomer went around and my ex-boyfriend asked me out. I said to him we can try. So I am going out with him on the Tuesday after X-mas, and I'm going to see if he really likes me or my popularity! But this guy is SOOOO cute, popular, and romantic! Should I dump him or take back my role, i mean after all, he is the MAJOR CRUSH of the whole grade and he likes ME out of 56 other girls! What should I do?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He doesn't like YOU out of 56 girls, he likes your status and your money. But hey, if you like that fact that he's a wanted man by other girls and that he would dump you if someone with more popularity/money comes along - take him out again.
Personality, past habits reflects future behavior and I wouldn't go out again...

Q: I dont know why, but I'm attracted to my cousin, who's a guy. Ever since I was little I've always like been attracted to him, but didn't know how to handle it, since i can't really have a romantic relationship with him, cause of like.. incest. He's 6 months younger than me, and a Cancer, while I'm a Capricorn, so I guess opposites attract? Because it seems like he kinda has a crush on me too, but i guess its awkward at times, especially when we're alone. AHH! what do I do about this? or do i just ignore it? :/ its like a forbidden love or whatever you'd call it, lol.

Ignore it and it'll eventually pass. When you do have family get togethers, stay within a group and avoid a one to one situation.
Next, this happens. You're cousin is allowed to be hot and good looking. Just don't act on those feelings (yeah, you know that already)

You're 13 and you've never had a bf? That's not bad, that isn't horrible - its completely normal.
What, you're supposed have a bf for 5 years by now?!
First, if you're thinking your ugly - then that self esteem and confidence isn't there. Work on that, do the things you like and wear the clothes you feel comfortable with - eventually people take notice.

Q: Hi. :]
So, recently my mom told me I couldn't see my boyfriend anymore because of problems won't go into great detail. But, we have a pretty large age gap, so much that it is ILLEGAL for us to have sex. My sister called him & told him he couldn't see me anymore because of the whole situation that happened, and told him if he did - she'd call the cops.
My mother & sister don't know I'm seeing my boyfriend.. still. My dad is completely on my side because he really likes my boyfriend a lot and thinks we should see each other, so when me and my boyfriend go out, my dad pretends that I'm at my friends houses, he drops me off and he talks to their parents. So, my mom REALLY believes it, she doesn't even suspect it.
My boyfriend HATES us hanging out without my mom knowing, so he told me he doesn't wanna do it behind her back anymore. It hurts because there's no other way I could see him. :(
Is it wrong for me to be completely mad at him? I mean my dad is doing this for both of us, and it makes me feel really good.. and now my boyfriends not taking advantage of that!
Please help, thank you..

Its illegal for a reason - not only should your bf be nervous - but your Dad too. He's liable for your actions.
Take a step back and trust your bf - he doesn't want to hangout without your mom knowing, accept it. More the relationship status to a friendship until your lega.
