14/F I have this best friend that I absolutely love. He is so cool and makes me feel good.He is not popular neither am I. That is why people make fun of him. He also has a deaf ear. I don't know wheather to listen to everyone in my school or date the uy that makes me feel absolutley awesome. Like I am in heaven. Please Help

No matter who you date in life, you will always come across someone who does not approve or teases you for dating the guy, whether it's through jealousy or just plain cruelty on their behalf.

Just remember to follow YOUR heart and go with whatever makes you happy. If this guy makes you feel as wonderful as you describe, what better match could there be for you?!

If people are making fun of him because of a "popularity" issue, don't let their remarks make your decision for you. You know what you want; go for it!

So i like this guy, he's going into high school and im going into 8th grade.(no problem, im going to be going to the same school) He took me to the 8th grade prom when my other plans cancled. He is even in my band class at school. He always listens to my problems and i help him with his. Both of us have shared about stuff normal people wouldn't and I trust him like he was my brother. We have a billion things in common and he is definately the sweetest guy i've ever met. My mom likes him too :) I talk to him about every day on myspace but i have no idea how to talk to him in real life! How do i know if he likes me? Most importantly, how do i be myself around him if i don't know what to do?

I believe the best way to find out if this guy likes you in the way you're hoping for would be to actually speak to him in person. Of course, then comes the problem of not knowing what to say! The way it seems to me is that you two already are close enough that actually sitting down and talking in person wouldn't be as hard as you think. Next time he shares something with you that you don't think he would tell other people, try asking if he wants to talk about it over the phone. Phone calls are definitely the next step to your relationship. After that, asking to meet up somewhere to discuss something, or just to hang out will be a piece of cake!

If you want to make things a little less awkward, try asking him to hang out with a group of your friends, and tell him to bring friends along to. You wouldn't be able to discuss things that are secretive, but it's a good way of breaking the ice so next time you two can hang out alone!

My girlfriend ask me a question like this

" Baby you know that i love being in love with you but sometimes i get a little nervous that one day you'll fall out of love with me so just be honest with me and tell me something."

How can i keep your attention and interest?

Then she imply's " You say you will always
love me but what will keep you in love with
me? So tell me and i'll leason.

We've been together for seven years now. Don't
get me wrong we've had our up's and down's when
didn't see each other for a year. Doing the
years of break up's and makes up's she dated
another guy while i was single.

I just want to knoe what would make her ask
this question wheni tell here almost everday that i love her.

In today's world, the phrase "I love you" seems to be thrown around a lot, whether it's with couples who have only just gotten together, or with people who have only just recently discovered a real relationship.

So, it's not hard to see why your girlfriend may feel still somewhat uneasy when you say these words to her (even if you truly mean it, which you seem to!).

My advice would be to think up creative ways to really PROVE your love for her, other than just to explain your feelings in words. Think of her favorite things to do, or maybe a place you two had a first date.

Hopefully through these actions, she will see how much you do love her, and will appreciate you telling her so even more.

Let me just say though, keeping a relationship for seven years is not always an easy thing to do, so whatever you have been doing, you must be doing something right!
Good luck!

ok so here's the deal... i like this guy in my grade and i see him everyday. I really like him and i don't even know him! i don't know if hes nice i don't know if he has a girlfriend and heck! i don't even know his last name... two qustions...

1.) is it bad to like somebody u have never met?

2.) What should i do?

First, let me tell you, I've been through the same thing! There's been a few instances for me where I barely knew a guy, yet just from seeing him around a few times, I really felt like I liked him and wanted to get to know him. So, to answer your first question, no it's not bad to like somebody you haven't met. Physical attraction always seems to get the best of us and results in emotions you can't control and may think to be strange. However, they're perfectly normal!

My best advice to you would be to get to know the guy! If you're a bold person, I'd say walk straight up to him and introduce yourself. Tell him you've noticed him around school and wanted to introduce yourself to him. Most guys would absolutely love the bold move!
However, if you're more shy, as I am, I would suggest asking your friends if they know what kind of person he is. That way, you can know if he is a nice guy or has a girlfriend, then you can decide whether or not you still want to meet him. Your friends can even help introduce you to him.

Whichever your choice is, I wish you the best of luck!

NO NO NO naked pictures.

thanks

Dear Photogenic,

Try showing your personality through the pictures. Meaning, take pictures of you doing hobbies or things you enjoy doing, or perhaps activities both you and your boyfriend enjoyed doing together.

Also try a variety of faces and poses, to show different emotions he can remember you by.

Heyy, me and my boyfriend have been together for over four months and he's amazing, he treats me like a princess and is anything i could ever ask for but he can be very clingy. Like i have to say ok tonight like you cant hold my hand or something for him to leave me alone but if like i maybe put my arm around him he's all over me and my friends get upset. His friends are mad and mean to him b/c of it and he feels weird being around them so he just sticks to me but i dont want to loose my friends, its like he doesnt know how to socialize. I really need help like he needs to win his friends back in order to back off of me but he feels like he cant do that b/c they are mad [which they are extremly upset about the whole thing they say he spends too much time with me] :/

It is true that clinginess is a sign you boyfriend truly cares about you and doesn't want to lose you, however this kind of behavior can get awfully annoying in a short period of time.

You need to pull your boyfriend aside and explain to him that you don't feel comfortable with him showing so much affection in public. Not only are your friends and his friends not comfortable being around while this is happening, but more importantly, you aren't comfortable. Explain to him that although you appreciate his affection for you, it should be saved for times when you two are alone, and you are comfortable with the situation.

Next, tell him you need to spend some alone time with your friends, and he needs to spend some time with his friends. It's a bad situation to be in when the only companions you have are each other. Explain that you do not want him to lose his friends, and giving each other space will help loosen the clingy bond he has with you.

Just remember, YOU need to feel comfortable with whatever your boyfriend is doing.

ok so,this guy and i have been talking to each other (we kissed each other before back in january,and he was drunk)and well during that time i liked him for a couple months,but he never talked to me in school and he told me he didn't want a relationship,and i was prety much fine with that.Then last night we hung out.He was with his friends and they were drunk,and he kept trying to pull me aside and i finally went with him,and i could tell he wanted to kiss me.Two of our friends started to kiss and he was like see hear that? then we were just playing with his phone and he was like you don't have to if you don't want too,and i said i know.It was getting late so he walked me and my friend to my house and he left,he seemed okay because he was still flirting with me.It was cute,he was helping me down this mountain lookg thing,telling me to be careful,and racing me and stuff.I texted him and said sorry he said whatever it's fine i did'nt want oyu doing something you did'nt want to do,and i said i wanted too but not there,and he was like other people were doing it,and i said well im different and he said that's fine.But the thing is i wanted too kiss him,but i knew i probably would've started liking him again which i dont want because i know nothing will come of it.He also got with one of my friends,and i was mad about (it happen in april) that he said he was stupid and drunk when he did it.So now im second guessing myself.Like im confused,he's a really sweet guy with girls.But he dosent want to be tied down,and he seems to always be "drunk" when he get's with girls which is a turn off,because i feel like im just one of those girls(like he asked me before how far i'd go with him,and if i went over his house would i do stuff).So he kind of has me confused.Like he can be a jerk and a sweet guy at the sametime.Do you think i made the right decision by not kissing him? so i just like forget about it and move on?

thanks,sorry it was long!

Dear Confused,

Personally, I think you made the right choice in not kissing him! Obviously you weren't comfortable with the situation, so it's a very good thing you had enough respect for yourself to not do something you weren't all willing to do.
Although you wouldn't mind kissing him, it does seem like this guy just wants to mess around, not have a real relationship like the one you're looking for. From the looks of it, he's just one of those guys who just wants to have fun instead of being a loyal boyfriend. My advice to you is to move on and find a guy who respects you enough to not ask "how far will you go" and who truly sees you for the self-respectable and amazing girl you are.

im going to be a freshman in high school and i havent had a boyfriend yet. pretty much all of my friends have. i feel like im doing something wrong, but i dont know what. is anyone else in this situation? or has been? i need adviceee. haha

Dear Freshman,

Speaking from personal experience, I also felt very behind most of my friends in the boyfriend department when I was a freshmen. Seeing other girls my age with boyfriends also gave me the impression I was doing something wrong. However, growing over the years has made me realize I couldn't have been more wrong.
Just read this quote from a woman who knows what she's talking about...

"Girls are like apples, the best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones, because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just get the ones on the ground that aren't as good. Rotten apples, but easy. So the apples at the top think that something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. The apples just have to wait for the right boy to come along...the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree."


This quote couldn't be more true. Boys are just as afraid of rejection as we girls are. You obviously have an intimidating quality about you that get those boys worried that they won't be good enough for a girl like you! Just wait for the brave one who's willing to step up. Believe me, he'll come.
