No question will offend me. I am very supportive. I will not judge you. But I will tell you the truth - straight up.
I'm in 3 year University, studying Business. I have been in a 2 year relationship with a guy I love very much. I'm very open and I do not get embarassed. Feel free to ask me anything under the sun!

So, I'm 18 (and a girl). I like a 25 year old guy, and there's a pretty good possibility he likes me back. But the thing is, we see each other often. I dogsit for him sometimes, train his dog, and he's sort of my boss (if he needs help he asks me [he owns his own business]). So, if he says no, there isn't really time to avoid him. Should I start with something casual, like lunch or bowling? Just go all out and ask if he wants to see a movie or whatever? (link)
age is just a number, 'sweetie'.

Tina doesnt understand. She's 12.


If you dont ask him, you will never know! Dont sit around and wait for thigns to happen. seize the day. Good luck 'sweetie'

hope it works out





How do you know if you are ready to spend the rest of your life with someone or not? (link)
I think about this a lot. Having been in a long term relationship, it crosses my mind regularly.

First thing I believe is, if you are questioning it, you probably arent ready to commit to a marriage.

Second thing I believe, if you are questioning it, it is a good thing. Some people act irrationally and jump into things without much thought. It is good to really think things over. I know the two things seem slightly contradictory, but there is truth in both.

Honestly, I think you will know when you are ready. I wont know when you are ready, and your closest friends and family wont know. Only you can decide for sure. Take things slow, live with the person, grow with the person, and you will know when the time is right.

You could be OK with living together, and spending lots of time together, which would be great.

You might feel like it is too much time together, which means you should distance yourself a bit and give it more time.

You could also feel like you want more. More commitment, more dedication, and just more from the relationship. In that case, you might feel like marriage would be a good next step.

Evaluate your relationship and see where you are. Take things at a pace that is comforable with you. Marriage is a big step and isnt for everyone, but like I said, it could be for you!

I hope I helped... ~~
Let me know how things go.

ok well i was going out with my ex boyfriend for 7 weeks when i found out he was going around the town saying that he was just messing me about.so i decided i was going to break up with him.i was going to ring him to ask him could we meet up but i couldnt bare to see him after saying all kind of stuff about me.i really didnt want to believe that he said really mean stuff about me because he had said he loved me so many times.and i had fallen in love with him.so i decided i would just send him a text message saying that i was breaking up with him because of all the stuff he said about my friends and i.the next day i came home from school and he was ringing me well i thought it was him.it was actually his mother ringing me from his phone.she was really mean to me on the phone.i told her that he called me a slut and other stuff like that.and she just said well you must have been saying stuff about him first.but i wasnt i was in love with him and wouldnt say anything bad about a lad that i was in love with.my older sister came home the next day saying thet his mother had spread bad romours about me around the town.now all the teachers hate me.
then this lad asked me out a few days later and i said that i had just broke up with some one and he said he has been wanting to ask me out for months but i was going out my ex-bf.i asked him did he hear the stuff my ex-bf was saying about me and he said yea i heard that ye had broke up.so i told him that my ex-bf called me a slut.he went mad he started saying stuff like god help him at football training tonight and he said your the kindest and sexyest girl that lives in this town.
the next day i rang him and he said my ex-bf wont be going around saying stuff about me ever again.i said i would go out with him and he was delighted and kept compliminting me all night it was so sweet.were getting on really well and just to let ye know he is the finest lad that lives in my town.
im just afraid about next year because im starting a new school where my older sister goes and im afraid i will be called a slut and stuff because of what my ex-bf and his mother were saying about me.

It sounds like your ex is a huge jerk, and was never worth your time in the first place. I know its hard to hear, especially since you say you were in love with him, but its the truth. Once you realise that he and his mom are jerks, you will realise that none of that matters. What matters is you have a great boyfriend now that appreciates you and treats you right. Ignore what others are saying - I know its hard, but if you know that you arent a slut or any of those things they were saying, then thats all that matters. Be confident and understand that they are rumers, and they will be gone in a week. Everyone will forget about it. If they really knew you, they would know you arent the slut, your ex boyfriend is. Just live in the moment, with your new lad. Enjoy life and dont let others get you down, especially if you know it isnt true.

Hold your head up!!
Good luck
p.s. im guessing you are from england?.. Sweet accent.


Ok im 18/f. So ive always been attracted to guys. By that im mean i think guys are really cute. Ive never really had a boyfriend. I had to small things. When i kissed them though i never felt anything. Im dont really have a desiree to date girls but for some reason i like boobs. I like to look at them. i really dont want to be gay, but could i be???? Sorry if this seems strange (link)
Im the same way.
I always check out a girl- and im thinking it has something to do with the fact that, A) girls are very competitive and have a sort of subconscious tendency to measure themselves up against others, and B)we might be bisexual. Which is ok with me. and should be ok with you because there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

either way, im positive a lot of girls do it - its sort of unavoidable. they are boobs! hello! whether you mean to look at them or it happens by accident, if we werent supposed to look at them they wouldnt be in our faces.


Okay theres this kid.I really like...we dated last year and i like him again...the only problem is i think he doesnt like me even though some of the signs point to it....plz dont tell me to tell himhow i feel...What do i Do? (link)
I'm surprised TINA DUH didnt tell you to go look it up on google.


Follow your gut - sometimes it pays to TRY to make something happen. You can't just sit on your ass and wait for things to happen. Life is too short. If it doesnt work out, move on, there are always other people out there who you will like just as much or even more. :)

Try not to be as negative as the other people who responded.


Can someone please give me the courge to tell her how i feel. i'm 20/F and i've been in luv with my friend Lara for a long time. she is my only friend i knew her from HS. and i dont know who to go to. Can someone tell me something to get my will to comfront her about my feelings.
please.

did this very happen to you or someone you know? explain if did.
And if yes did they like you back or not? were they still your friend?

Please and Thank you. (link)
All I can say is, you have to tell her how you feel. Plan out what you are going to say, and just go for it. You only live once. You will not know if she likes you back until you ask her! Nothing will come of it if you dont speak up.
You will most likely regret the things you dont do, more than the things you do. Just build up that confidence and follow your gut.

I have a very close girlfriend too and I consider myself to be bisexual. But I have a boyfriend now and she knows that I am really close to her and she is ok with that. I'm sure if you and Lara are close enough, she will understand. She may be slightly weirded out at first, but she will overcome that soon enough.

Best of luck!


omg i soooo like this guy and i found out from one person that he likes me bk but idk if its true we are having a dance @ my schoolwere the girls ask the guys shud i ask him i really dont wanna be rejected!!!
luv always
confused and in luv!! (link)
hey! was this a personal message? it showed up in my inbox.. im still kinda new with this whole thing.
If it was a personal message to me im flattered!
Here goes:

If you really like him, I totally think you should do it. Here's why: You only live once. There are only two things that could happen, either he accepts, or he rejects. Like this person said, he likes you back. Asking him is a risk you must take. He might really like you and he might not have the courage to tell you that. Either way - absolutely nothing can come from not asking him. Sometimes you just need to hold your head up high, and get things done on your own. You know what I mean? You have to give it a shot. So when you are at school, and you feel like you look really good, just get that confidence together and do it. I know you can, and dont be afraid. If he doesnt accept, it might be becasue he is too nervous to go with you. But at least now he knows you like him.

I went through junior high and high school IN LOVE with this guy, and I never told him. And we never talked. And we never went out...Nothing happened becuase I didnt let anything happen. I regret it.

Life is short, You only live once, and most importantly - you will always regret the things you dont do, more than the things you do.

Good luck!


I feel as if I'm driffing a way from him because we would argue but making love after was good. Now I feel as if I have no feelings for him, he made love to me but I have nothing for him I couldn't come because there was a block I felt it and I couldn't come because of it. I care for him but I don't know if I still love him in the way I used too. Help me if any one can. (link)
Sometimes time apart can be a good thing. I'm not saying you should take time apart becuase that is of course your call. Im not married, but I have been in a relationship for 4 years now. Sometimes I feel the same way, but its usually becuase I have an interest in someone else, a small crush if you will, but it passes and I then realise how lucky I am to have such a great partner who is there for me always. Is there anyone else you might have feelings for? How long have you been feeling this way? If it has been a long time, then you should start asking yourself some serious questions, and try to understand the root of this situation. Have you told your husband how you feel? You should definately sit down with him and just tell him every thing you have been thinking. It might help him realize that things need to change, and the relationship needs to change. It will work itself out from there. And just remember, sometimes we need to work for things and fight for them, and sometimes what is meant to be will be. Listen to your feelings and dont hold them in.
I hope this has helped. Think positively and be strong.
