Q: As a seventeen year old female who is oober tired of stupid highschool guys and would like to move on to more mature ones... how old is too old for me?
Hm...
Well when I was 17 I was dating a 22 yr old. I have always like older men because the maturity level is finally there lol. If your parents are okay with it then thats fine. I think no one older than 22 because they are still in college. Once guys are out of college its like buisness, carrer mode...definitely alot different. good luck!

Q: I just want to know what are some things you can say to a girl to charm her and make her like you. Such what are some things i could say to the girl i like to just slowly make her like me. Are there anythings that girls like to hear that charms them. Thanks any help is pretty much appreciated
You can't really make someone like you but there are a few things I would do. Be a gentleman, girls love that...hold doors, wait for her...little things like that. Also Most girls like talking on the phone especially when a guy says they are going to call and then call at that time. You could also just comment on her outfit, hair, makeup. Guys don't realize it but the reason we spend all that extra time in the bathroom is to look good for them. When a guy notices something we have done it always puts a smile on our face. Good luck...I hope I helped a little bit.

Q: Jd, my best friend, is 18 almost 19, hid brother, Vince, is 15 almost 16, and I am 17 almost 18. JD is the one who is getting married. So, JD and I have no feelings for each other except as brother and sister, or so what he says whenever I ask him about it. But to me, age doesnt matter, love is what counts. But we are not at that stage obviously becaue we havent even started to date yet. But from what JD tells me, his brother hates my guts. But right now I am having my friend Faye's boyfriend, Tommy, to ask Vince about me and see what he says because they are really good friends. But I dont know what else to do to get him to like me and/or go out with me. Any suggestions?
You can't really make/or force someone to like you. Maybe your friends boyfriend and a couple of your friends should get together (Vince included) and see how things go. Like maybe a double date or just ahng out in a group so things are a little more comfortable. Just don't have your best friend around because then his brother is going to feel like a tag along. Also, he probably is either intimidated by you or he likes you. Guys act realy funny around girls they like, I know it makes no sense. Good luck tell me what happens.

Q: What do you guys think of a 18-year-old(f) dating a 24-year-old(m). And don't give any of that "age doesn't matter crap" bcasue it does. What do yall think of the maturity levels?

The biggest problem I see... The 18-year-old is still a freshman in college and the 24-year-old graduated 2 years ago.
Considering I have been in that situation I think it's okay. To be honest nothing ever happens at the right time. There is nosuch thing as right timing. So if these two really like one another than I think thats great. Yes beacuse they are in two different parts of their life its going to be difficult but who said anything is easy. I think the maturity level is equal. We all know women are more mature then men. If you like this guy go for it. Let me know what happens...

Q: ok i have this friend and well he rlly wants to loose his virginity cause he feels weird at his age...(peer presure) and so he asked me if i would do it with him...im scared of wht ppl wouldthink (ive alraeady lost mine)...but i dnt wanna sound like a slut or anything
pleasee help me!! thnks!!
Wow, you’re pretty young to have already lost your virginity. Anyway, I wouldn’t have sex with your friend just to please his needs of “losing his virginity.” All he is getting out of sleeping with you is to make himself look better, he doesn’t care about you. You should sleep with someone that you care about, that’s what makes sex good. If you’re going to sleep around please use protection, that’s my best advice for you. You really shouldn’t be having sex this young, but then again do what you want. Let me know what you end up doing. Good luck!

Q: (14/f)
The problem is I have this boyfriend, who i care about a lot.. but.. i think he im starting to not like him like that anymore.. there are some problems.. like he wont talk to me or anything!! hes like the shyest person in the world when hes around me and i hate it!! cause when hes with other people hes like crazy.. how can i make a break up... so we can still be friends or at least talk to eachother..??
You should talk to him about what is going on nd why he doesn't act so goofy around you. Tell him that if it continues you don't want to date anymore. If he doesn't change anything than get rid of him. You need someone whos going to compliment you as a person, and not ignore you and not talk to you. See what he says if you tell him you want things to change or else...maybe we could be just friends....

Q: Well, I like me best friend's brother. Before he ever knew that I did, he would tell me about all of the things that he would say about me. He would tell me that his brother would call me a dumbass and that I disturbed because of the fact that he was trying to sleep. When he found out, he just asked why I liked his brother. He isn't putting me down or anything and I don't care what he thinks about me liking his brother. I just want to know how I can try to win his brother over or at least try to be my friend first. (His brother also says that he doesn't like who is friends with the first guy that I mentioned.)
how old are you, your best friend and his brother...and whos getting married?

Q: My boyfriend says that I ignore him! And I don't think I am! I talk to him whenever I see him and between almost every class and everything! I dunno if because usually my friends are around he doesn't want to talk or what. I've tried talking to him more and talking to him when no one else is around. Is he just like really shy or what? Cause it's like really annoying when he says that I don't talk to him or else I ignore him! Help!
Have you asked him what you do to ignore him? Be like when I'm with my friends, does that bother you, you need to see what is bothering him. He might just be jealous that you always have people around you and then there he is your boyfriend and doesn't know how to socialize with the queen(you). You should try and plan a certain part of everyday where you too can catch up and what not so then there is no pointing fingers for ignoring. Good luck. Let me know what he does.

Q: 20/f/CA.
My good friend Rose just started dating my ex-boyfriend Justin. We had been broken up for quite a while, but I am still confused about how I fell about Justin, although I think I am mostly over him. I am also seeing other people. But why is it when I see them together when I go out, that I get jealous, or more upset?
Thats the worst. It probably hurts even more to see your good friend date him. I know how it is, its happen to me. I guess the best thing to do is talk to one, probably your girlfriend and tell her maybe to be a little more causal and not flaunt themselves in public or around you because it bothers you. The jealousy will wear off once you become truly interested in someone else. Right now you need to forget him and you take your hot date and hit the town!

It seems like you will now be spending alot more of your time over at your best friends house. To win your best friends brother is quite possible, its been done before. You need to realize that your best friend is going to be jealous of you whether or not he has feeling for you. So he is going to say rude and stupid comments but in the long run hes jsut jealous that you think his brother is better than him. To get on your crushes good side I would dress a little nicer, and maybe try and have flirtatious conversations with him. If his brother is at all interested he will give you a time of day. Good luck..start slow and let me know what happens.

Q: Ok i have been dating my boyfriend for about 2 months now and in the beginning of the realtionship my bestfriend thought we were perfect for eachother... well about 2 weeks ago he fractured his ankle and was really upset about becuz he couldn't play baseball and baseball is his life!! so he got really angry and took it all out on me! well now were both over it and we couldn't be any happier with each other... well the problem is i always told my bestfriend wat was happening and she kept telling me to break up with him and that she doesn't like him... how can i prove to her that my bf and i are perfect for each other and everybody has their fights!?
Forget what your best friend says. If you are happy in the relationship than thats all that matters. She's probably just jealous of how "perfect" you guys are together. You don't ned to prove anything to her. I would tell your best friend that you appreciate her looking out for you but your happy in the relationship and maybe she should mind her own buisness. Thats my opinion. Do whats best for you.

Q: my best friend is mad at me because i wont break up with my boyfriend because moves really slow and weve been going out for a really long time and weve only kissed once and he is the type of guy who gets nervous to do those types of things. i like him alot so im willing to wait for him to be ready to do whatever. she doesnt think he is the right guy for me. he is a great guy and the only bad part about him is that it takes him forever to give one single kiss. do i break up with him if we dont even kiss? or do i just deal with it and stay with him? and ive already talked to him about it a few times and he says hes trying his best.
He's obviously not using you which is great. If you like the guy then stay with him. All great things happen with time. I would give him a chance, because maybe when you guys do have your first kiss it will be amazing and you don't want to regret that.

Q: i have a boyfriend.. we'll call him R. R and i have been dating for 7 months. The first 5 months were great! He's been starting to hit me, he kicked me, and I fell and I had a bump on my head last week. Last night he tried suffocating me. I've also been told about him flirting with about 5 other girls at school. 2 of them are some of my best friends. Oh, by the way, I'm only a freshman in high school. He's a sophomore. But anyway, I'm so sick of hearing about him doing other stuff with girls. He told me if i ever broke up with him, he'd ruin my life. What am I supposed to do? I am scared of him, but he'll do crap to ruin my life (believe me, he's done it to many.. trashed reps.. everyone hates that person, etc.) but what can i do? please help! i'm scared
What you really need to do is seek out an adult that you feel comfortable confiding in. You then need to decided whether or not you should go to the police and file a restraining order on him. This is serious stuff, and if you don't take care of it now then things are only going to get worse. I know your scared, but keeping this inside is only going to increase the pain. Let it out, you need to tak to someone as soon as possible.
