Okkkk 18/f.
So, me and my best friend (Jonni) were talking about how she was getting some action and how I wasn't... since I haven't been in a relationship for about a year...
And I said "Damn, I need to get laid!" I was sort of kidding and sort of not kidding-- and I am a virgin.
So she and one of my best guy friends (Adam) have been doing some sexual things together... and I know his best friend, lets call him Frank.. and Adam told Jonni that Frank wanted to get laid.

SO, Jonni talked to Adam about getting me and Frank together... and when I got home today, I had a text message from him and we texted for awhile and we decided all four of us were going to hang out Friday night..
And there's a 75% chance that I might be losing my virginity... and I'm terrified because I don't want it to hurt, even though I know it's going to.

So, I have condoms, I'm on birth control... no problems... I'm still pretty scaredd... so any advicee?
Please & Thank You!! (link)
LOL, yeah nothing happened, lmfao. you're comments are pretty hilarious. [:


Theres a boy I think I like, who is a bit interested in me. I just don't know how to get him to definetly like me. We've "known" eachother since elementry school and now we're sophmores in high school, but we were never actually friends. I see him everyday and we don't really talk and I'm sorta bad at conversation with people I don't know well enough. I've been single practically all my life and it doesn't make much sence- everybody tells me its because im a beautiful young confident black female that causes the problme. For a teenager, its pretty hard to find girls like me apperantly, because I'm not ghetto, I'm smart- almost nerdy smart, I was homecoming princess, I'm captain of the jv cheerleading at my school and I know alot of people, so I'm pretty well off. This guy is a varsity football player, which in our school is amazing for a sophmore, so people think we would look cute together. Any advice on how to reel him in, or how to get other guys to not be intimidated asking me out? I've had many guys that have liked me and tried to ask me out, and when I say no they get mean and obnoxious (typically the ghetto african americans im not friends with, they think I think im better than them, which I dont because ive tried so hard to be their friend and they shun me.. but thats another story.) Now I don't know what to do because this guy isn't like that, but I don't want any drama. Thanks! (link)
Play hard to get, make him make the moves. :] thats about all there is, start talkin to him more and just have fun with it. :]


me(13) and my bf(17)weve been together for about 2 and a half months and i love him w/ all my heart and i know he does 2 but for the past couple weeks he hasnt acted like it at all.i mean he still says that he loves me and evrything when we talk like on the phone which is like 2times aweek now when it used 2 b evryday.and like we barely evr c each other bc we go 2 dif. schools but he only started acting like this since he gota job but i have noidea wat todo or thnk like evryday iwant2 cry I DNT NO WAT 2 DO (link)
No offence... but why isn't he dating people his own age? He'll be 18 in a couple of months or within the year or whatever and it'll be illegal. I mean, I'm not trying to be mean or anything at all, but he's probably just looking for some action or something (thats what guys in high school do anyways... they just want sex). Anyways, you should dump him because he's obviously not treating you very well and he's way too old for you anyways. And when teens do get our first jobs, its really stressful because everyone treats us like crapp.. we're like the bottom of the totem pole.. and how do you know that he's not cheating on you, since he does go to another school... and he doesn't call you every night... I'm sorry if I sounded mean or offensive in anyway... but its just reality... Sorry.


My boyfriend of 2 years and I recently broke up, and it was a nasty, painful breakup. We're not speaking but have mutual friends, and I'm in the process of trying to get over him. The big problem is, we go to same college and it's very small. I see him all the time, and walking past eachother and not speaking is excruciating. I don't want to talk to him because I'm so hurt/angry and talking to him will just break my heart even more. How do I survive this situation? (link)
Hold your pride up high. Just because you two broke up, doesn't mean that you have to constantly feel bad about it. I'm not saying its easy... but it could work. I'd just not look at him and keep your eyes straight forward and pretend that he's nothing to you. Although, right now he's probably still everything to you.

Try going a different way to class. Get out and go to a bar and have fun, loosen up! :]

Hope ya feel better and let me know how things go. :D


15/f/sophomore.
my guy friend is a senior. let's call him chas. chas and i had a fling in january and we almost went out, but then we got into a fight and we were on and off friends for like 6 months. now that we're in school again i see him all the time. and half the time he talks to me and the other half he totally ignores me.he'll give me a compliment one day and then ignore me the next. so today i was with my friend shannon(who knows about the chas thing) and he was like standing near us talking to a freshman girl. so i give shannon a "there he is" look*rolls eyes*and she's like "yeah i know." he sees me and immediately wraps his arm around the freshman and he says obnoxiously loud so i can hear him "i had such a good time the other night. we should do that again!" i ignored him and walked away and he said"oh come on don't leave."so i went to a friends locker and he walks down the hall talking with the freshman and they stop like 5 feet away from us.
the best part is that the other night, my bro was at chas' house. so what he said didnt work. so if he doesnt like me and we don't get along why would he waste his time trying to make me jealous with a freshman?where do he and i stand? what do i do?
any advice is appreciated (link)
Well, if he's a senior going back to a freshman... thats low for him. Don't worry about it, he's trying to make you feel bad and like crap. He probably likes you but he's probably real stubborn. The next time he does that, turn around and say "If you think you're making me jealous, you've got another thing comin because its pretty low of you to be flirting with a little freshman girl who's probably 13 or 14 when your 17 or 18."
That'll shut him up right then and there. :]

Good luck and let me know what happens.


17/f

i want a boyfriend... even wen it come close and i think a guy like me it always turns out that they dont. its not far like=[

like just recently i had was hangin out with friends and stuff and one of my guy friends kept flirting with me and he even gave me a hikkie [long story] but he said he doesnt like me.

wat kind of wrong signals is that? i dnt get it.. maybe im just not girlfriend material. this always happens.

help??? i have no idea wats wrong with me. (link)
Every girl is girlfriend material. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. Guys are pigs and will take any peice of ass they see walking down the street. (Not meaning anything) But high school boys are sort of immature and are still those damn mamma's boys... just wait till your in college, you'll find PLENTY of guys that will drop dead when you walk by. I'm in my senior year of high school and I can't wait till college.. Just have fun being single and partying all year long!

And the other thing is, you just haven't found anyone that clicks with you... just wait and everything good will happen. I promise. When you find someone worth your time, you'll know it. :]

Good luck!


im 16 and i just met this guy at the beginning of school and hes so sweet and nice but hes also such a flirt. For a few weeks we talked every day on the phone and it seemed like he liked me too. But now im not sure because he always talks about other girls. Should i just give up and move on? He still flirts with me alot and occassionally calls, but he could be doing that with other girls tooo. im also way to shy to just come out and tell him i like him. help me! (link)
If you really like him, I'd say shoot for the moon. Make him have a reason for calling you everyday. Don't be so easy like "I like you, lets go out" type of thing. Do some major 'hard-to-get' games and don't call or text him. Make him make all the moves and when you're ready, then make yours. But have fun teasing him and pretending like he's just like a board game, you can figure guys out real easy. Just like reading a book. :] haha.

But have fun and make fun of him, make him laugh by stupid jokes, PLAY HARD TO GET. :]


So there's this guy that works literally in front of my house. I live like 2 houses away from the corner of my block, and he works right in the corner in front of it, I can see the warehouse clearly from my house. He is gorgeous. The first time I saw him, I was on my way home from the library, and I smiled at him, so he smiled back. I was feeling insecure that day because I thought I looked ugly, and he was already driving away. Well, there was a party at my house yesterday when, out of the corner of my eye, I see this ford avalanche coming down my street. I looked to the warehouse and saw it wasn't there, and I see it's him, driving past my house. I smiled at him, and he smiled his perfect smile [and i almost drowned in his blue eyes HAHA]. Then I waved at him, cause I noticed he was still looking through his mirror, and he stuck his hand out and waved back, but of course he didn't turn around =[. I'm trying to convince myself that there's no possible way I can mess this up, since he works so close to me, but I know there is. My friend told me white guys are less likely to go out with younger girls than spanish guys. He looks like he can be in his early 20's, and I really don't wanna tell him I'm 16. I really don't care about the age, but there's a big chance he might. I was thinking of telling him I'm 17, but it's bad to start anything based on a lie. But that comes later, what I'm thinking now is, how am I supposed to approach him? I doubt he saw where I live, and even then I doubt he'd just show up. I went to the warehouse yesterday and they didn't have table cloths or window barriers [lame excuses, I was looking for him], but I guess he works downstairs. I can't possibly go again. To ask for what? Grrr...I can't let him just get away either. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading this long crap!

20 and 17 isn't that big of an age difference. And you'll be 18 within a year, right? So it won't be illegal, unless your parents freak out... but I bet he's a nice guy. Just go to the library again, look all cute... and when your walking home, just yell hey out to him or something. Just have fun with it and smile. :]


Ok so I like this guy and I think he might like me back.

Yesterday we were supposed to go to a party together but he couldn't make it.

Anyway, to cut a long story short I got really drunk and a guy took advantage of me. We didn't do anything past making out, because my friends saw and got angry at him. They had to go home early though.

When I sobered up though I pushed him away and was like 'WTF am I doing? Go away' heh it was amusing.

But, how do I tell the guy I like? I don't want to say 'yes I did make out with someone at the party but it was because a guy took advantage of me whilst drunk' because

A) I don't want him to kick his ass

B) I have mutual friends with the guy who took advantage of me, and if a huge drama started it could be awkward.

I have to tell him though. I can't lie, plus he has friends who went so I think he'll know anyway.

How do I tell him? (link)
Hun, he ain't your boyfriend... your acting like you cheated on him and you didn't. He shouldn't get mad, because you two are NOT official or anything. If he gets angry about it, then just tell him that you two aren't dating and you can go kiss any guy you like. You don't need to tell him anything... but I understand if you want to tell him... but its no big deal.


i dated this guy for three years on and off
i recently started talking to him after a long while of not talking
i meet up with him at the movies and we messed around there and after wards at his house me knowing he had a girlfriend
now he stopped calling me and dosent reply to my messages on myspace
i did make the mistake of sending him three messages telling him to call me cause i miss him and he replied that he didnt have a phone
so i let it go but then my lil sis visted his profile and read his comments and one of the comments was a message from some girl saying \"well call me in 20 min cause im in the shower\"

i have gained weight like 10 pounds since he last scene me before we went to the movies and i did give it up to him easily when we were out
i dont know if he thinks im a slut or something now but i dont know what to do please help me
i really love him we were together for a long time and i miss talking to him cause there is not other guy like him and
help what should i doooo with him
should i just stop messaging him on myspace and just wait till he calls me
but then i dont want him to think he can have me whenever he wants and i dont want to tell him anything cause he will just laugh at me
(link)
Hun, hate to break it but you've gotta move on.
If you want him real bad, then play hard to get times a million. Make him sweat.

Make him regret that he never returned your messages or phone calls, thats what I would do anyways.

And what would piss him off even more is if you started dating other people, then he'll start callin you again.


if you're going out with someone, not blind dates but the date that you go because you like each other, do you automatically become boyfriend and girlfriend? or does that depend on the couple? (link)
Honestly, I wouldn't consider you two dating until he's actually asked "will you be my girlfriend" line.

I'm in the same shoes as you right now, lol.
