How do you know when you love someone? (link)
I think you know you love someone when they're the reason you wake up in the morning and the reason you sleep at night...the reason you keep on living. You'll want to be with that person all the time and spend as much time as possible. They can poke fun at you without you getting mad or offended, because you'll know if they love you back, they're only joking with you. You can make a complete and total fool of yourself and it wouldn't matter because you trust them. You can trust them with your innermost secrets and you know they won't judge you. You know you love someone when you're there for them when they need you most, and they're there when you need them most. It's a friendship, a bond. Through thick and through thin, you're there for each other and care for each other. =) Thats what I think! ♥


ok well theres this kid who confessed his love for me and well i dont feel the same and so i figured its better to tell him the truth and not lead him on but he dosent seem to get the hint he follows me around hes like my fucking stolker and i dont want to be his close friend b/c i cant trust him and well i see how he is and i dont kno how to make it clearer w/out hurting him normally i wouldnt care but since i ko how it feels to love somebody and not be loved in return so help pleaze he dosnt get the freaking clue (link)
You seem like you're doing everything right, but maybe in a way..it seems as if you are still leading him on? If you were straightforward and upfront and honest with him, I still don't see why he still follows you around. I suggest you write him a note clearly stating your feelings toward his behavior towards you, just remember to write in it that you're not interested and that you'd appreciate if he was to leave you alone. Make sure you use his name in it several times to assure that it is personal. If he really is a stalker and won't leave you alone, you may want to go to a responsible person, or even the authorities to get him as far as possible from you! =)


15/F

While growing up I never had the "two parent home" that most have and I am fine with that. My mother has been great, The only problem was the show of love always bothered me. IE: kissing, hugging, holding hands. I never felt comfortable around that stuff because I never saw it and I didn't know how to act when someone did. Its not that I didn't get effection or anything but I didn't see kissing or love toward another man with my mom so when others did it I thought it was wrong. (just my young childish logic) Fast forward to now, I'm 15 and i guess I have a BF. Well, he likes me. We've kissed/madeout and held hands. We have a date saturday and I'm acually not that nervous for the most part. Its just that I don't know how to tell him my feelings, He said "I love you", I said "I love you" but that just doesn't seem to cut if for me. I don't want to seem clingy and I really don't feel comfortable saying i love you since everyone in my family is seriously screwed with love. I like Ryan and I don't want to get hurt by him or hurt him. (I'm afraid I might make a rash decision and dump him)
So exactly how do I get myself to calm down and just enjoy the fact that he likes me? (link)
If he likes you, thats great! You should figure out if you like him too. People rush into saying "I love you" nowadays. My thing is...if you don't mean it or don't think you mean it, you probably shouldn't even say it to begin with. Don't dump him just yet, just get to know him. This is a great opportunity for you to become more comfortable around affection. You should be REAL and TRUE to him..tell him what you've told me! This way, you won't come off as clingy and he might just even UNDERSTAND you better! It seems that you are uncomfortable around him since you are unable to get your feelings out to him, but really, all it takes is a little communication. Just start talking and it'll all come out and he'll understand how you feel. If he loves you like he says he does, trust me, he WILL understand. =)
