Q: 17/f. I am "talking to"/dating this great guy. We're not official yet because we're getting to know each other better. Anyway, he is so freaking nice to me. We went on a date, and he picked me up, opened every door for me (car doors included), paid for everything, met my parents, and he even insisted on programming my home address into his GPS so I wouldn't have to sit there and tell him where to go (so we would have more time to actually talk). He's just such an outstanding guy... and I feel like he's doing all the giving and I'm doing all the taking. I want to show him that I'm as interested in him as he is in me. Any suggestions? Nothing sexual please.

Aw, that sounds like how I got together with my boyfriend.
I can give you some suggestions that I did.
For one, I flat out told him how much I care about him and how sweet he is. Then at the park I stole one of his shoes so he'd chase me and tackle me and then we'd lay down and cuddle. Afterwards, I told him that I only stole his shoe because I knew it'd get us closer. He bought me a rose so a few days later I picked him a bouquet and gave him flowers. I also made him a CD with songs that I thought well described how I felt about him. And I picked two stars and told him they were my favorite because they were close together just like he and I.
Those are just some things I did. However, chances are if this guy is as wonderful as you say he is, which I'm sure he is, then he's not worried about you doing the giving. He's happy just to see you smile and make you happy and make your day better. That's a gift enough to him. I know my boyfriend was just happy that I wanted to be friends with him, let alone be more than that. My main suggestion would just be to tell him how you feel about him and maybe try cute little things that'll get his attention but aren't too over the top.
I hope I helped a little.

Q: I want to have a homecoming date this year. Our homecoming is in a little over a month. There is this one guy that I like but I'm worried he may be out of my league. He's a senior and I'm a junior. I know him because he's in my jazz band and he's a drum major in our marching band. I don't talk to him a whole lot, but when I do, we both laugh a lot. He's cute but he's kind of shy as well. Would it be too weird for me to ask him to go with me? And also, how do I prepare for this so that it doesn't seem so out of the blue? Thanks.

If you like him, then it wouldn't be weird to ask him. If you get the vibe that he likes you, even if it's just as a friend, then you definitely should ask him. You shouldn't doubt your own quality and doubt yourself when it comes to guys. That just makes it harder to find a guy and knocks at your self-esteem.
Just start talking to him about homecoming the next time you have a chance to talk to him and then ask him to go with you.
Hope I helped.

Q: 16/f
Okay, well the guy i like says that i am pretty and he wants to get to know me first before anything happens. We haven't really talked that much so i'm not sure, how he is. But anyways, at a party i went to friday night, he came up to me and talked to me some and then gave me two hugs and said that he would call me that night. Well, he never called me. He hasn't called me all day today either. Also, my friend (camille) called me and she dosen't get signal where she is at right now and said that my friend i was talking to friday after the game (sandra) said that i told her that he was going to ask me out monday at school. I never told her that, i told her that i liked him and I HOPE HE ASKES ME OUT. I think she mis understood me because it was loud at the party and when i was leaving she called me on the phone and i told her. She is his friend to and she rides his bus and i hope she dosen't say "Brandon! Lindsey (me) told me that you were going to ask her out today." I don't want her to say that because i don't want to have him think that i think that. I can't call her and tell her because she is out of town. What do i do?

Wow. First off, get your friends out of your love life business. It's okay if they're there for advice, but not if they're getting involved in how you plan carrying out this relationship.
As for the boy, you should call him. Ask him why he chose not to call you after he said he would. My ex would frequently promise to call and then never would. That's not fair to you, it just causes stress and leaves you feeling pathetic as you wait by the phone. So, call him and find out what's up. Find out how he feels about you and why he hasn't called you. As much as you like him, figure out if he's going to be worth the emotional energy and toll on you.

Q: I'm sure you're sick of hearing about these type of problems, but...there's someone at school who I'm really interested in. He has a girlfriend, and I'm fine with that, but I'd like to be closer with him friend-wise. He comes up to me sometimes and occasionally sits with me for long periods of time. The only problem is, I'm extremely shy and have a lot of trouble conversing with him. I usually end up staring into space, wishing I knew what to say, while he talks a little bit. Of course i don't stay completely silent the entire time, but i feel like my lack of interesting things to say is keeping us from becoming real friends. What should I do?

If you're too shy to talk about yourself at first, ask him questions about his life. Not too personal, but general things. Such as, if he's on a sports team, ask him about it. This will show him that your interested in getting to know him. Then, if he says something, just try to relate it to an experience or interest of your own. Soon, it'll become easier to carry conversations.
Hope I helped. (:

Q: Okay sorry this might be long.
Alright so about a year ago, I dated this kid. Well he ended up cheating on me and i broke it off. A couple months later, we started talking again. ( I mean i feel so hard for this kid.) Well one day me him and a couple of our friends were having a little party, and he ended up getting with my best friend. SOAGAIN I was dicked over. So its been about 6months, and we finally started talking again, and of corse i'm starting to like him again and all this.. so we started talking on the phone at night and things, but a mutual friend called me and told me that i was leading him on and all this, and im really not trying to. I told him i still had feelings for him but only wanted to be friends but he doesn't seem to get it. And i was told that he was in such a goood mood now that we have been talking again, and i dont wanna be the one to make him in a bad mood. I just don't know what to do, if i should just break it off, try to stay friends, or just give him another chance.

You definitely should NOT give him another chance. You've given him two chances and he's betrayed your trust and hurt you twice.
What it comes down to is whether you're comfortable being just friends and can overcome any romantic feelings towards him for your sake. And secondly, whether he's willing to accept that you won't let him use you or hurt you anymore.
If he's not willing to just be friends with you and can't understand that you can't start a relationship with him again because he hurt you and betrayed your trust, then you need to break off from him. You can be friendly and say hi, but ultimately, ignore him and don't waste your time trying to befriend a guy who just doesn't get it.
Trust me, I just recently went through the same thing, until I found my current boyfriend. Things'll work out.
Hope I helped.

Your boyfriend is being overly protective and jealous. I can relate to the jealousy because my boyfriend is also a jealous person. Jealousy is a form of caring for someone and can be cute.
However, when it comes to the point where he's toying with your heart and making you feel bad for having friends or even communicating with other people; it's gone too far. All he's doing is abusing you emotionally and that's not right. If he truly loved you, he would be able to trust you enough to talk to a boy in your class without lashing out on you for it.
You need to tell him that you're flattered that he's so 'into' you, but that he's smothering you and if he can't trust you and treat you like he does trust and respect you, then you can't be with him.
I'm sorry to say, if after you talk to him things don't change, it's time to move on and get him out of your life.
Hope I helped.

Q: wednesday, a guy asked me out and i said yes. we only just met on sunday, but we'd been hanging out for four hours that day and we talked online and on the phone.
anyway.
this "relationship" has GOT to end. i can't really go into the specific reasons why, it just absolutely has to. but he's been very nice and sweet to me, and i feel like $#!* for having led him on maybe.
but the truth is i got to know him a little better and... he's trouble. he's no good.
i already know i want to end this as swiftly and efficiently as possible without completely pissing him off and without getting into a confrontation/argument thing...
can anyone give me a good layout of a swift, persuasive, concise breakup speech?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Say something like
"You're very nice and sweet to me and I enjoyed the few days we've been together. But, I really don't think I'm ready for this kind of relationship. Maybe if I had gotten to know you better before we started dating, things would be different. Unfortunately, I'm just not feeling right in this relationship. I'm sorry, you really are great. I just can't continue in this relationship."

Honestly, it sounds to me like he was never interested you that much to begin with. You shouldn't change for him; you need to find ways to distract yourself from the hurt you feel. And ultimately, you need to figure a way to get over him. Spend more time with your friends, pick up a hobby, something along those lines will distract you and help you to feel better about yourself and the situation. He's not worth your pain, time, or energy.
I know that probably isn't want you wanted to hear, but it's time you move on; changing for a guy never works out well. You'll lose yourself and be worse off than if you don't have him.
Hope I helped.

Q: Ok so ive been seeing these 2 girls over teh last few weeks and im close to both of them and ive found that i like one alot more than the other the only catch is that ther really close friends and for some reason they havent told each other about me and i dont know how to tell the one with out ruining there friendship cause she's eventually gonna see us together.

They probably both like you or have some sort of feelings for you, which is why they haven't told each other about you.
But, you have to remember, that's there decision and their prerogative. If you like one more than the other, then go for it. There's a good chance it'll work for you.
When it comes to telling the other, you'll simply have to be straight forward about it. Bring it up casually and then tell her. If they're good enough friends it won't tear them apart.

Q: I had an affair for a few weeks and we did have sex 1 time. It blew up horribly when my spouse found things. She does not know we were intimate and I really do not want her to know. She is a wreck and so am I. I am afraid that this will kill her - she is a little unstable right now. Why does she even need to know these details? I can carry this secret to my grave. If this were known, I believe we will end up in a divorce and our home w/kids will be destroyed, and I do not want that to happen! It seems like I remember Dr. Laura mentioned once that a one-time affair (not a long lasting one) didn't need to be disclosed. Why burden your spouse with this. Why dump these rocks on them. Its your burden to carry. Help.

In my honest opinion, she has every right to know. You broke her trust and the vows you made when you got married to begin with. You owe it to her and yourself to come clean with everything. If you two really love each other, you'll probably be able to pull through this. She should know, she deserves to know. What she'll do with the information once you tell her is her prerogative, but in the long run it'll be better on the both of you to have the whole, blunt, and awful truth out in the open.
Hope I helped.

Q: my boyfriend and i are having our half year anniversary august the 19th. he told me that we would spend the day together and he would take me out to dinner, also to the movies.
but that same day he is supposed to go to a concert with his best friend *girl*
and he would be gone all day
its my choice whether he goes so:
should i let him go and spend the money on the concert ticket *wont see him*
OR
should i tell him its our nite to share and that he should be there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, as important as this half year anniversary may be to you, if he already made an agreement to go to the concert with his friend before he told you he'd spend the day with you, then tell him to go to the concert.
However, if he made the promise to you first and is now invited to the concert, then tell him that you want him to spend the day with you.
