Ive been friends with this guy for a year.
ive always thought of him as just friends.
I think hes hot. but i would never go out with him. but recently ive found myself thinking
of him nonstop, going to his myspace page 24/7.
but i DONT want to like him.
how can i stop? do i like him? what do you think? (link)
You can't chose who you like, or to stop liking someone. The only piece of advice I can give you is stop going on his myspace and look around at other guys to keep your mind distracted.
Also, ask yourself why you don't want to like him - are you already in a relationship, or are you just afraid of rejection? This can change the situation quite a lot.


i think me n my boyfriend might end up kissing at the end of our date this friday, and i dont know how to makeout, pleaseee someone help!! (link)
Its sounds crazy, but just go with the flow and follow his lead! I promise you it will come naturally.
A few tips:
*Make sure you don't eat onions, garlic etc etc beforehand
*Make sure you have nice breath. Brush your teeth before going out with him
*Put you hands where its comfortable - round his waist, cupping his face, round his neck...whatever
*Don't do it if you're not ready
*Enjoy it!!!

Also, remember, practise makes perfect ;)


so my boyfriend got drunk one night with his friends and girls were there of course.. i found a hickey on him and he was like "aww baby im sorry you really cant control yourself when your drunk" so i forgave him.. then his friend told me that he almost had sex but his sister came in time to stop him.. should i break up with him.. or was it just a mistake that he did and i should forgive him.. (link)
Lets get one thing straight here. Alcohol takes away your inhibitions, it just lets you do things that you want to do, but wouldn't normally. It DOES NOT put new ideas in your head. So, your boyfriend saying that 'you just can't control yourself' is being totally unfair and horrible to you.
Alcohol or no alcohol, if he is capable of cheating on you, he will always be capable of cheating on you.
It would be a bit different if he had kissed a girl - but HE NEARLY HAD SEX. Chuck him right away girl. Move on. Find someone who deserves you and treats you right.


Ok, so I'm a shy guy right... Well, there is this girl I like and she likes me back.. I just don't know how to ask her out without looking like a moron.. Cause me talking to girls is like trying to find a needle in hay stack.. DIFFICULT. And I just don't wanna freeze up or get really nervous trying to ask her out.. Is there anything I can do to prevent this??

Thanks in advance. (link)
Firstly, you need to make sure you BREATHE! Take things slowly, so you don't go gushing out lots of words all at the same time.

Just be calm, be yourself, and ask her out! At the end of the day, you like her, she likes you, she's probably going to say yes. And the worst she can say? That would be no...but then you can move on and find someone else :)

Good luck, hope it goes well!


I really want to know because everyone else has already lost it and I'm 14 and I havent! (link)
SLOW DOWN. Right now! Your virginity is a very precious thing and once you lose i, there is no way of getting it back, so calm down and realise that NOT everybody has in fact, lost their virginity.

Firstly, there is no age limit to losing your virginity. Some lose theirs at 12, some wait until they are married and lose it in their twenties. Personally, I am 16, and a virgin. I have been with my boyfriend for 20 months, and we both love each other a lot. We are both virgins. Even though we love each other very much, can legally have sex, and see that lots of people around us are having sex, we don't feel pressure to have sex ourselves. AND NOR SHOULD YOU.

Seriously, if you go out and lose your virginity at a young age, or to someone you don't truly love, I can almost guarantee you will regret it.

You need make sure you are 110% ready for sex, and that you're protected and with someone who will wait if you want to wait. Remember the consequences of sex - even if you use a condom you can STILL GET PREGNANT. You shouldn't really be havung sex unless you are old enough and mature enough to deal with the consequences, both emotionally and physically (should you, god forbid, get pregnant)

Just think about it. Losing your virginity is not a race. So don't act like it is.


Everything about my life is hopeless. Don't tell me to "Thing positive" becuase that's not an option. I can't stand where I live, I have no friends, and there's absolutely NO guys that I'm attracted to the slightest bit here. I wrote in before, to tell about how the only guy I really like right now lives in Germany.

Whats the use in doing anything anymore? I work out 2 hours every day so I can look good, I spend hours perfecting my makeup and hair, but noone's looking at me.

What do you think I should do? Should I just give up for the time being seeing that I know most boys in my age group and I hate them all? I have a fake boyfriend right now, meaning I got some random guys picture and said he was my boyfriend. Should I "break up" with him and get back in the dating game? (Even though the only person I like right now lives in Germany...) (link)
Yes, the first must is to break up with the fake boyfriend. You'rs just lying to yourself and others, and who knows who is out there, checking you out, but not doing anything about it because they think you're taken?
The other things I feel you should do is to cheer up, or at least look happy. People are much more attractive when they are smiling and have a positive outlook on life than when they are grumpy and frowning. Think about it- if you were out on the pull - would you be looking for someone to have fun with or someone to bring you down?
Also- don't spend so long on your appearance!! There are much more important things in life than beauty, and besides, that is in the eyes of the beholder. If someone doesn't like you without make up or whatever, then thats their hard luck. People should want you for YOU, not some you underneath a metre of makeup.
And maybe you should join a club of some sort to make your mind off things and also to meet new people, make new friends and see more guys.
But the most important thing is to remember....guys are not everything in life. You do not to be defined by a guy, you do not need to have a boyfriend to 'be someone'. In fact, most of the time, they just bring an emotional rollercoaster ride and heartbreak!!!
Hope this helps!


okay so...i recently told the boy i REALLY like that i liked him. we hardly talk..but we know eachother and we both have the same friends. i know..get to know him first. lately, ive been seeing him look at me..either look at me or check me out[my friends also say it too] when i either pass by or he passes by. does he like me or is he considering it? (link)
All the signs are pointing towards him liking you, but the only real way to find out is to ask him. If you can't do that, give it time and wait for him to ask you out.
