Q: I was sitting in class today and I overheard my best friend telling the teacher that she loved her (as a teacher, of course). I know there are different kinds of love and different ways of loving someone but...

What is love actually? I mean, I know love is an emotion, right? What does love mean though? People say "I love you" all of the time but I have no idea what love really means now that I think of it. I think I love certain people but then what if my definition of love is wrong and, really, I have a totally different feeling toward those people than I thought?

Anyway, what is love?
No one can really tell another person what love is, or how they may love someone. It is truly undescribable because everyone has different experiences of falling in love. It is true that for someone you love, you will care deeply for them and will be very passionate towards them. It's being there for that person and supporting them through whatever may come their way. It's being happy for them no matter what. There are different kinds of love however. The way you love your parents or best friend is most certainly not the same way you love your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, whatever. I really do believe in soulmates though. I believe in this because a lot of people do not realize that you don't really love with your heart, you love with your soul and mind. You feel connected with this person in a way. When they're not there with you it feels almost unnatural and you feel like you lost a part of you. You accept this person for who they are. Many wonder why they call it "falling" in love. I personally think it is because when you fall like trip, it is unexpected and you don't see it coming and love is the exact same way. You never think you will fall in love with someone, it just happens, and that is the most exiting part of it. I will tell you that love can hurt, deeply. It will not always be a blissful time. There will be lots of different emotions and feelings going on. There comes a time when you may wonder if it is wrong or right and things start to get blurry, confusion is very common. I believe that you will always love someone even if you're not with them anymore, you just learn to live without them. To love someone you have to be somewhat mature because you cannot be selfish, you cater to their needs and desires. When you're with that person or even just thinking of them, it's like the whole world stops, and at that very moment, they're all that matters. I really hope I helped :]

Q: I am a 17 year old male.
There is this girl who is a freshman and I am a senior.
I wanted to know if she is too young for me to date.
I really dont think it matters. You're both in highschool, so I don't see a problem. The only thing is if she's not very mature since she is a freshman and all but I wish you all the luck! So go for it. Hope I helped :]

Q: 15/f
My friend Kris is like amazing
and he calls me every single night to talk, and He calls me like several times a day, and he told me im very unique, im not sure if he likes me or if he just thinks of me as a good friend, he also laughs at like everything I say, and he picks on my for being a freshman again all the time....So whats going on in his mind!!???
Well...it sounds like he likes you! I mean I can't be sure obviously but these are all signs though. Is he dropping hints like doing subtle flirting? Pay closer attention to exactly what he's saying and HOW he's saying it. The teasing sounds like he likes you because guys are known for teasing girls when they like them. However, I would watch out and make sure Kris doesn't become too clingy or attatched. I mean he does sound like he likes you and really sweet but sometimes they take it TOO far. Trust me I've been there, done that, and it's not fun. I say this because of the fact that he calls you multiple times throughout the day, also because you said he laughs at EVERYTHING you say. I encourage you to follow your heart but just be smart. Good luck! Hope I helped :]

Q: Ok so I'm a 14 year old girl in 8th grade... ok anyways, I don't really consider myself popular, I'm actually pretty quiet, and I don't think I'm beautiful or hot or whatever, just pretty. But the thing that's always confused me is guys love being around me. Like, they love teasing me and making me laugh and just being around me in general, and not weird ones, either, like, really cute popular guys. I don't really know WHY though. I love hanging out with boys, I get along with them better than I do with girls. So, could it be because I have a really good, boyish-sense of humor and I laugh really easily? Do boys like making girls laugh? Anyone wanna help me out here?
Haha yeah I totally get what you're saying. You probably just have a really good all around personality. I'm guessing your're pretty outgoing and maybe even funny, and these are all great traits to have because this is what guys like in a girl. They don't want anyone who's overdramatic or anything. Teasing is a good sign that they like you. And yes boys love making girls laugh! It makes them feel good about themselves knowing that they made a girl laugh. It seems like you're doing great with the guys, keep it up. Hope I helped :]

Q: i'd like to hear everyone and anyone's opinion, but i'd love for the older columnists to help me on this one... question being, do you think there is a certain age in which you can REALLY fall IN love with someone? Or do you think you can fall in love at any age, whether you're 16 or 50? So many people say at 8 you cannot fall in love, yet at 16 you can.. what is the difference? of course, the difference with any age is experiance, but do you guys really believe these theories? i want opinions!!! thanks =]

flirty
I completely disagree with the person below me. I don't think it matters how long you've been together or been dating. When you feel that intense pain of not having them there, it feels unnatural not to be with them, you get this breath of fresh air in your body, etc. thats when you know youre in love. To me, you can fall in love at any age. I used to think different but I learned when I myself fell in love at a young age. The thing that most people don't understand is that there is no definition for love. Trying to describe your love for someone is like trying to describe how water tastes. You just can't! Love is different for everyone, and everyone has different experiences. When you fall in love with someone, it is like nothing else matters when you're with them. I do agree that you do have to be very mature about it. You have to be understanding towards their feelings and care for them. I hope I answered your question well enough :]

Q: LOVE...what does it mean to you. I'd like to have everyones outlook on it, no matter what your answer is, I'd like to hear about your outlook!
I personally think that falling in love is like describing water. You just cannot explain it no matter how hard you try. It is just this wonderful feeling and you catch yourself smiling just by thinking of that person. When you're not with that person it feels almost unnatural, like you're missing a part of you (cliche I know) but it really is true. Sometimes you won't be able to sleep because all you can do is think of that person and counting down the time until you see them again. Everything may not be perfect, but love is irrational and it doesn't always make sense. Trust me, you'll know when you've fallen in love :]

Q: 15/f
Okay, well i met this guy that i didn't know at a party and he told my friend he thought i was cute. So we exchanged numbers through our friends and we texted eachother as friends for about 2 weeks. Then eventually started "talking." We talked for about a week and then he asked me if we could just be friends because he has to get a job and he said he had a lot going on right now. Why would he want to start "talking" to me for just a week and then go back to being friends? Also, do you think he still likes me even though he just wants to be friends right now? I don't really know his situation but he said that he has to get a job and it sounded like he had some stuff going on. I don't really know what this means. I don't know if he likes me or not. Now, we just text eachother as friends but not like the flirty messages we sometimes send. Thanks!
That's basically his way of saying "I don't want a girlfriend or any kind of commitment whatsoever" Don't let it bother you though. He may call you or text you in a few weeks though asking to "hang out" but he really just wants a makeout session. Go out and meet other guys! Don't let this guy get in the way of your happiness this summer. Hope I helped :]

Q: Okay I'm 14 years old and this summer has been like the crazziest summer. Okay these are the things I did just in 2 weeks

1.Gave a blow job in a public restroom
2.Had sex in a public restroom
3.Flashed a lot a guys at a public pool
4.Sent nude Photo's to atleast 7 different guys
5.Had a 3some (2 other guys)
6.madeout with a way older guy
7.Did a lot of ohter "things" in public places
This is really sad because you're doing all these things for attention and by you posting this question on here is for even MORE attention. OBVIOUSLY you're a slut. I don't mean to be so blunt but this aggravates me to the max. Just because it's summer doesn't mean you have to do everything. Especially when it's sexual things like these. Seriously think about this...do you have any respect for yourself? By you doing these things it just proves to all the people that know you that you don't deserve any respect whatsoever, and that's exactly how they'll treat you. Get your act together and stop all this b.s.

Q: I have trouble talking to this girl that I really like, I havent been that good at talking to gils anyway, but I really like her what should I do?

P.S... I'm 15 years old

4.sex

Q: I've known my best friend for almost 4 years. He knows that I like him, and we've hooked up twice. The first time we planned on it, the second time he made a move and it just happened. The second time messed with my head a lot, because I wasn't sure if he made a move because he had feelings for me or if he was just horny and wanted some action (I came to find out it was because of the second). We've both acknowledged that it didn't mean anything, but it's made things weird between us. When we talk online we're normal, but when we're at work together we avoid each other and don't make eye contact. I don't want to see the friendship end because of this. I've asked him to hang out, but he hasn't been around much. I'm afraid, though, that if we hang out we'll end up hooking up again, and I'll be back where I started. I feel like I've been harassing him to hang out, but I'm pretty sure that the only way we'll feel comfortable around each other is if we hang out with each other again, but then like I said, there's always the chance of us hooking up again. It's a tough cycle to break. Is it wrong for me to keep asking him to hang out? I'm at a point where I really don't know what to do. Any advice?
in my own opinion, i say that maybe you should end the friendship as well. because it seems like there is a "friend with benefits" thing going on and thats not such a great type of friendship to have with someone. unless you can talk to him and explain to him specicfily that you only want a friendship, then you could try it. i really i hope i helped :]

Q: can someone please give me step by step. lol


like u lean in thenn.....

lol thanks
its not that hard u just basically press your lips against his nd kinds push ur tongue against his while moving your head. hope i hepled :]

Q: hey. ok this is a long one.

ive had this on and off thing going on with this guy for all throughout this year, and he liked me but it was all wierd timing and somehow we never really got togehter. hes always been my friend and always seemed liek more than that. i recently had a boyfriend and during that time he confessed his feelings for me, and i did to him too. he said he wanted to work it out before we head off to different schools (hs) and that he didnt want to blow his last chance with me. so, as anyone else would, i broke up with my boyfriend for him, knowing i would go out with this other guy. Its been a little over a week and i was talking to him alst night and he told me he didnt want to go through with it becasue he doesnt just want to have 'a summer fling' with me. I just don't get it... should i talk him into it or forget it ?
i think you shouldnt pressure him into it, i mean you cant make someone like you or anything. but just talk to him about it as casually as you can. try to be very open and say whatever you feel. its better to do in person too so you can see eachothers reactions, because you can tell alot by someones actions. ask him what makes him think it would just be a summer fling? if he still doesnt want to go into a relationship with you, then you basically have nothing left. nd now you cant go back to your ex, so just try to have fun this summer. i know it'll suck if he says no, but you'll move on. hope i helped :]

Q: So, there's this guy. We don't really know each other but we talk on AIM sometime and I even went to the movies with him once. But I don't know if he's really that into me. His friends say that he's really shy and he told my friend that he thought I was cool. I don't really wanna pursue someone that doesn't even like me. I'm always the one that IMs first. So, should I just move on? Or keep talking to him and pursue him further? Maybe I should make it more obvious that I like him, cause right now I'm playing it sort of cool?
first u have to lead him on. once u see he's going along with it, go back to playing it cool sorta thing. now YOU'RE the one playing hard to get

Q: seems like every guy i fall for ends up breaking my heart. i was in a 3 year relationship that ended not too long ago. and had a couple of bfs since then, but no matter what i keep getting my heart broken. im ready to give up. seems like there isnt a single guy out there who can "handle" me.

what am i supposed to do?
take a break from relationships or keep pursuing them and deal with the heartbreak?
well personally, i would take a break and cool down for awhile. your 17! have fun with your life! just be yourself, go out with your friends, and just hangout with any guys you might be into. dont make it out to be anything serious though. as a girl you need to learn not to get too wrapped up in things because sadly, something always goes wrong in relationships. hope i helpeddd :]
