I'm a freshman, and since the begining of the year i've been talking to this really cute junior. I've had other boy flings since then and he's told me about girls he's into ( not me )however we always are texting or flirting in school or football games ect. This weekend is the Giants football game and we're both big giants fans expect he bet me that they would lose this weekend and i bet him they wouldnt. (However, they most likely will lose). He came up with teh bet and all of the rules for it and he wants me to come up with what we're betting on. I really need to think of something fast beacuse he keeps asking me if i've thought of something yet and I havn't! I obviously dont want to bet money beacuse thats lame i was thinking maybe something cute but not come out and directly bet on a date or something beacuse im not sure i want to take that chance beacuse i dont know if he likes me or not. SO what should i bet on? thats cute but not to obvious???? an exmaple would be
If I win you blah blah blah
but if you win i blah blah blah


sorry this is so long and boring but i need help ASAP . xoxo (link)
bet him a starbucks coffee
(the two of you will have to go to get it together either way...hahaha) you win whether or not the giants do.


I was talking to my best friend on the phone yesterday. (She's a girl, im a guy.) And she said she liked me. I like her too, and I told her that. It should be easy to figure what to do next but it's not. We want to be more then friends but were afraid of ruining our friendship if something happens. Also, she is afraid it would be too weird but I don't think it would. So I guess Im asking, should I ask her out? Or should we just stay friends even though we want to be more, just so it won't be weird? (link)
if u like her, ask her out. her feelings would probably be hurt if you didnt and that is as likely to ruin a friendship as a relationship is.


okay its always been hard for me to share my feelings and especially now with my boyfriend.he went on a trip and drank alot and then said once he came home he would stop drinking..well last night (hes been back for a few days) he was like "i drank too much vodka"....it pissed me off that he lied but i didnt wanna tell him that cause i dont wanna sound like a drama queen. whenever i tell him he made me feel bad he says"if i make u feel so bad all the time then why are u with me"and whenever i say im in a good mood when he thinks im mad at him, he insists im mad at him. THEN he gets mad cause he says i dont tell him things! but when i do he gets mad! what should i do? (link)
you cant really change men. it just makes them mad. so, you can either live with drinking or you cant. if you cant you have to leave him. if you can then dont nag him about it. oh, and try to share your feelings with him at a moment when he's sober.


okay..so there's this guy that i've sorta always liked..and we dated at this beginning of this year but we broke up after like two weeks..and he told me a few days ago that he likes me and he wants me to ask him out or something cause he'll have more respect for me..anyways i really dont wanna get hurt like i did last time and i want something that's going to last..and he says that he's tired of being single and he wants a relationship..but i dont know if i should believe him or not. so what do you think i should do?

(link)
lol. tell him you'll have more respect for HIM if he buys you flowers! and chocolate! and presents!

but really, maybe you two should just date (movies and stuff) without going steady?? just an idea.


In your honest opinion...

How realistic is it to think that you will one day marry your first love? I don't think it's likely, but it happens, right? I'm 16 and he is 17. And I've never felt this way about anyone in my entire life. I just want to experience everything in life with him. We talk about getting married sometimes, I mean seriously talk about it. When we do talk about it he tells me that he is serious, that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.

Opinions? Advice Please? (link)
ok, well, if it is real, you dont need marriage to keep you together.
i mean, if you two really love each other then you wont break up while you wait until you're a bit older to get married (early 20's?)


sooo, last advice thing i asked if i should date a guy that's a marine. well this guy that i am friends with who i thought had no feelings for me whatsoever just got super jealous when he found out about the Marine guy. and now i'm afraid he's mad at me and i don't want to lose the friendship over this ..what should i do ..? :(Ashley (link)
:) honey, if he was just wanted to be your friend he wouldnt be mad.


heres the thing: i IMed one of my friends to say something like "oh do u know mike's screen name i need to ask him a question bout homework" but shhh.. i really just wanted it so maybe someday i would get the courage to IM him.. cause DAM am i in love with him lol. basically all i need is for you guys to give me some ideas on how i can IM him without him knowing its me at first, or getting someone else to. basically i just wanna know how i can make it look like is someehow i got his sn (like someone sent me their buddy list) and wanted to know who it was. please guys.. everytime i see his name pop up on my buddy list i wanna say something so bad... (link)
dear desperate for help,
just im him saying "hi,this is stacy from biology class. hows it goin?" cuz people from school i dont know that well im me all the time and i dont think its weird. i just assume one of my friends emailed them their buddy list or something. dont try to trick him... it's just silly. if he thinks you have a crush on him he'll be flattered, but he'll probably think you were just bored and wanted to talk. good luck. :)


Well, I recently wrote about a guy friend of mine.. and how I really love him.
Well, today.. I found out that he is now going out with his ex-girlfriend again. The one who kept ME from dating him.. because I'm a better friend than that. And now.. she proceeds to tell me that he PROPOSED TO HER.. I think she is just saying it because she knows that I have a 'thing' for him.. (keep in mind.. this is the 4th time she's told me that a guy has proposed to her) And she knows I have guy problems.. (with my ex and all)

What can I do to keep me from ringing her neck? (link)
roll your eyes at her. tell her you dont want to hear about her fake engagment. laugh it off. this one girl is in love with my boyfriend and says bithcy things to me and writes him letters about how in love w/him she is/how much she hates him. sycho!!! this girl is the same. dont let her bring you down to her level. let her screw herself over. she doesn't need your help in messing up her life.


ok see im 16/f and my mom hates my boyfriend. like when we first started talkin she was ok then out of no where she hated him. then she changed her mind and let me go to his moms wedding reception. so we were ok. then he called me a fag on the answering machine(just playing around)she got upset he apologized and we were ok now she hates him and wont let him call my house, so he calls my cell. i love this kid and he loves me but shes messing things up. what should i do? (link)
first of all i think your mom's just worried about you. so tell him not to do things like calling you a fag in front of your mom, or anywhere she'll hear it (even if it is just in fun). and explain to your mom that this boy is really special to you and you're in love with him. mention sweet things about your relationship whenever you can that will make her see it for the posotive thing it is.


I've been married for 20 years & never have, and never will cheat on my husband.
A single younger man where I work started flirting with me. He basically expressed his attraction towards me, which was extremely flattering. I let him know right away that I would never cheat on my husband. He seemed to accept this & we have continued to commincate throught our email at work & a couple of coffee breaks.
I have really enjoyed the flattery - I'm 48, he's 37. Once I realized that he really wasn't just trying to get me into bed & truly liked me as a person - I felt great.
He's extremely careered oriented & doesn't have time for a comitted relationship at this point.

I just don't understand why when I started flirting back with him, why he has backed off. I liked the flattery, and am hurt. He started all this.

I simply don't understand why he is reacting this way, I don't need a lecture on why this is unhealthy, I already know from the way I feel. (link)
try flirting with your husband... it'll be even more enjoyable than flirting with some guy at work.


I am 13 and a girl who has never had a boyfriend and I think think this is my chance.There is this boy who has gone to mostly every school I have gone to(were in the same grade).But I think he likes me.Its like he has been drooping clues like he stares at me all the time with this serious look on his face,he saved me one time(if thats what you wanna call it)because I was walking and I wasn`t waching where I was going so I was about to bump into the wall then he said somthing to me then that made me look up,and his friend heeps on looking at me.So how do I figure out if he likes me without talking to him and can you give me information on how to tell if a boy likes you.
(link)
say hi and watch his reaction. if suddenly he focuses on you, like his whole world just froze... he likes you. then talk to him and figure out something you both like to do in common(watch old horror movies, surf, go to the skatepark, whatever) and drop hints about maybe doing that next weekend. if he likes you he'll jump at the chance and invite you. good luck chica. :')


wat are the signs to a girl wanttin u to kiss them i mean i already know some but wat are the others. and what should i do on a first date i've dated plenty of girls jus not literally and i truely like this girl and i really want to get close 2 her (link)
before you kiss her be touching her already. like hold her hand or put your arm around her. if she is receptive... (fiddles with your clothes or hair, gets really close to you) kiss her on the cheek and then pull back just a little bit so your face is a couple inches from hers. if she looks suprised don't try again. have patience and wait till the second date. if she smiles and doesn't pull away at all, you can really kiss her. but do it slowly and gently the first time. if you gross her out with a forcefull kiss on a first date, she'll probably not want to go out w/you again.


there is a guy that i have liked for 2 monthes now and every night he asks me to sneak out with him.....to make out and crap like that and i talk to his friends and i found out that he never liked me but he asked me out 2 weeks ago but the only time he will hang out with me is at night when we sneak out!!!! sometimes i say no but he always says he has a surprise for me which always works but im tired of just talking to him at night i want to hang out with him and talk during the day as well but he wont!!! so i no i should break up with him but i dk!!! please help me!!! (link)
hey... guys can be jerks!!! i can't imagine how you feel. sometimes i felt crappy cuz' my boyfriend (now ex) wouldn't kiss me or act really affectionate in front of lots of people. my guy was just shy of PDA, but yours is just well... a jerk. get rid of him... and maybe doing so will squash his ego a little bit that makes it so he wont talk to you in public. its probably because he's doing the same thing w/ other girls. dont put up with it! break up with him .... now!

good luck :D


Ok well im 16 and going to be a jounior in high school. I have a girlfriend... me and her have been really close friends since the end of 8th grade, and at times i liked her.. and she liked me. We never went out until like the 24th of may this year. We are still together. But now that we are together... i dont really like her like that. I mean shes still the same person she was before, i donno as friends we are good but as a couple we are just too different. So how do i get to be single again without loosing a good friend? I'll rate high im desprate.
-cRw- (link)
"i just want to be friends" doesn't work anymore... because half the time the person doesn't even want to be friends. but since you really want to just be friends, try to do it together so she doesn't feel "dumped". because this will make her embarresed, especially if she still likes you and then she won't want to hang around with you. so bring up "i think i liked this better when we were friends." you'll almost positively get "i think so too...." and it's easy from there. then before the next time you see her at school instant message or text message her (it's less pressure) and talk about friend stuff. it'll help make her less nervous. hope i helped!

A couple months ago me and this guy got together. Turns out he said he just wants to be friends. Anyway, Im going to see him next week he lives in west virgina i live in north carolina. When I say get together I dont mean go out I mean we just act like a couple. Anyway, I was talking online and I was like "I cant wait to see you I mean see all of you guys" and he was like "yeah I cant wait to see you either" does this mean he wants to "be with me" again? and not just friends? (link)
sorry, but i don't think he means anything by it. yesterday i was joking around with a guy and i told him he was a life-changing person (just messing around) and then he spent the rest of the day at the beach flirting with me and trying to have "meaningfull" conversations... alone with me. i gave the guy the total wrong message. i think you are just interpreting what he said as something,when really he doesn't mean anything by it.



I'm a 15 years old girl, and have had 1 boyfriend, which was a joke. I have been asked out numerous times, but each time I deny them. I allways find something about the guy that doesnt work. I have just come to conclusion that I'm afriad. I'm afraid to fall for someone, that might actually feel the same. I'm afriad to get my heartbroken.

I have helped many of my friends battle through heartbreaks, and from hearing and learning from this makes me wonder why even bother dating if they are just going to end tradgicly? I feel like i'm holding back, and I dont want to hold back anymore.

Can you give me advice on getting over this feeling?

I don't know if i can help... but i can tell you that you're not alone. it's hard opening up to someone new... or anyone at all. i broke up w/ my last boyfriend because i knew he liked me and all, but i didn't know if he liked me that much. i made out w/ him in a movie theater after we had been going out for about a week and then he didn't hold my hand after the movie or kiss me goodnight or call me. so the next time i saw him (monday at school) i broke up w/ him. even though i still liked him. why? i was scared he was gonna break up w/ me. to get back @ me he made out w/my friend... THE NEXT DAY! but it didn't hurt me at all. cuz i had already closed myself off emotionally to him. it's impossible to feel safe and close to someone when you won't let them in. letting go of your fear of being rejected can't be easy. tell me if you ever figure it out.


I went out with this guy named Chris.We were talking and relized that we were not going to see each other this summer. Since i was going to be gone for most of the summer. So i said to him that we could be friends. But i also think about him all the time. Waiting for him to get online. I think i still like him and i think that he still likes me. But i don't know if i should give it another try or let it go. And just be friends with him? Please help me. My e-mail is mandabear1321@aol.com or mandabear1321@ yahoo.com. (link)
stay friends while your gone... sorry.. but 3 months is too long to wait around. but when you're talking to him on the phone or wahtever, flirt a lot. then when you get back ask him if he wants to try being more than friends.
