ok so theres this one kid in my school that i really like ! and then theres some other kid that lives on my friends street that she introduced me to. the first day i met him, he asked me out and now he always IMs me and is like so what's your answer ? and i'm like i gutta go then i put my away message on and that other thing is that i can only see him on the weekends and thats even if i go to my friends house. i really like the kid that goes to my school, but i dont think he likes me. D= help ! (link)
Okay, first thigns first.

Figure out if schoool kid likes you.
text/internet/ or, if you're not shy, ask him in person(:


If so great!
Then street guy, ummmm..

I wouldn't date him. Not right off the back anyways.

Maybe you should try and get to know him and hangout.
But tell him you would like to get to know him first.
Then, once you figure out if school kids likes you, choose who you like more :]
I know it's a hard decision, but in the end, you'll pick the right choice!
& if not, you'll alwyas have a chance with the other boy.


I'm 13 and I reallllyy like this guy, more than I've ever liked anyone before. He's all the qualities i want in a bf. Lots of people say he likes me back, but boys are so hard to read! He doesn't send any signals as to if he likes me or not. I can't tell at all. I really like him though and I want to know. What should I do? (link)
If you have a cell phone, and you have texting, get his number and just text him and say hello.
That'll lead to a converssation, trust me.

Or you can always use emal,msn,mypace. You name it, things should go your way.

Or, maybe write hima note asking him how he reallly feels.

hope this works!


i am going out with this guy who im not exactley sure im into anymore but i do like this other guy who idk wether he like sme or not should i break up with guy im dating or no? 14 female (link)
Well first of all, If you don't like the person you're dating, you should not be dating him for the hell of it anyways. It leads to heatbreaks, and just bad things, so rather that other guys likes you or not, you should end it with your current guy.
And about that other dude, find out if he likes you, if so, gofor it.


good luck!


Hi, 17/m.
Ive Known this girl for about 7months, and we were just friends. The other day, i told her i like her, and we're officially an item (although she doesnt want everyone to know yet). Thursday is the day of our first proper proper date. Ive seen her around school..and we just talk for a while, and i talk to her on the phone everyday.

We're going to watch a movie, and We allready know each other, so we dont really feel uncomfortable around each other, but heres a few questions i have. What should by body language be? my arm around her? hold her hand? too early for a kiss? i ask this because...ive not dated a friend before....and its normally got the wierd first date because you dont know each other much, but this isnt the case. Any Help? Thanks. (link)
Hi there.

Okay, i've been down this road, and it turned out greatly for me.
Okay, my opinion, i love to hold hands:)
and the arm around her thing, if you're going to do that, which is okay if you guys are in the right seating, and comfortable and things, put your arm over her shoulder, not her waist, because sometimes it can bbe a bit uncomfortable.

oh and the kiss things, you're seventeen, and usually people do kiss on first dates at aobut that age.
Uh, i guess don't force her into anything, but if she wants its, GO FOR IT:)
haha.


good luck@!


hi, 17/m
My girlfriend is going to visit the states (we're in the UK) for a month- july to august. I was just wondering what are some nice things i could do for her/get her before she goes, and while she's on holiday also. I was thinking..weekly e-mails? any tips? :D (link)
Send her photos of you, along with sweet emails :)

Oh, and maybe when you gets home, or before she leaves, get her a rings, bracelt or something.
say how much you'll miss hr :)



good luck!


m.
17.

so.
i'm a lifeguard. there's this girl i work with [let's call her M], and she and i have really hit it off. what she doesn't know is that i have a girlfriend.

i find that i flirt a lot; not on purpose, but i do. especially if the girl a. is gorgeous and
b. likes the same music as me.

i find it hard to resist. i'm good looking [and walking around all day without a shirt on just boosts my ego], and i find it to be a huge ego boost when it's obvious that girls are looking at me, and even more when i know that they're flirting back.

what's happening to me now is the same thing that happened last summer: i have a girlfriend, but i find it increasingly difficult to resist the temptation to leave her and go have some fun all summer. the hardest part is that she's leaving for france in a week and will be gone for three weeks. let me get this straight: i would never cheat; but i don't know what to do. i want to go and have fun and meet a bunch of new people; what i don't want to do is hurt anyone.

i'm scared. i think i'm going to fall into the temptation to cheat if i don't do something about this; but once again, i don't know what to do. i think i love my girlfriend, but at the same time i want to go hang out with M.....

any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

The best thing i could tell you, is to maybe take a break with your girlfriend. and chill with M. see who you're more interested in, and go for it.

good luck


What i want to know is, what are the first signs to show you that your lover is obsessed about you? and What are the sings that shows that your lover is abusive and controlling? Cause where i am, i very puzzled about how things turned up between me and my ex-girlfriend. (link)
obsessions- Non stop callings. Pictures eeverywhere. Always following you. Trying to be with you mor ethan enough. TOO protective. etc.



Abusivie- physically? hitting, throwing things, etc.

controlling- telling you what to do, and where to be when. acting like your parents basically.
hope this helps.


I had dated this boy named Evan for about 1 year and something. Our relationship was great, no complaints here. We were in love. The reason we broke up was because he was moving away to college and we didn't want each other to get in the way of our studies and our college life. Well after 6 months of crying and heartache for me I finally got over him and moved on. So I met this other guy named Ray. Ray is such a sweetheart and a great guy. We've been dating for three months and I'm really happy with him. In the beginning of my relationship with Ray, Evan told me how he misses me and he's still in love with me. Obviously I was annoyed because he had his chance for about 6 months after our breakup. But I turned him down. So now three months later, I keep have dreams of being with Evan, even though I'm perfectly happy with Ray. Evan's a great guy I admit but I've moved on. Or so I think. But when I keep having these dreams it makes me think otherwise. Have I really moved on?

I'm not one to base my emotions on dreams but, they are really bothering me and I just had the third one last night. Any help on what this all means? (link)
Dreams come from your self-concious, and things you've seen on TV, real life, things you may have been reading, and such like that. It's probably that you've moved on, but your pass is just coming along as life goes. It's probably nothing, if you are really convinced that you're happy with Ray. Maybe it's just a sign of saying that Evan has been thinking about you. who knows?
I know this wasn't very helpful. But i'm trying ha, I've had a problem similar.

Try spending more time with Ray, and less time thinking about Evan, it should helpp.

good luck:)


Will it work out if i get back together with my girlfriend of 5yrs relationship then i dumped her because she cheated on me? Because i can forgive her but will it be the same as before or will i be chasing ghosts? (link)
Uhm for people things can definitely work out. Depends on really how much your into the relationship, and how much effort you're actually going to put into it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, cause its not. but it will nbe chasing ghost in a way, it always is.

Give it a shot.

goood luck!


I've met this guy and when we are together we communicate, have fun, things are great! But when we aren't together (he lives 4 states away) and we have to talk on the phone, he does 99.9% of the talking.. and it's usually him just being silly, and I'm just sitting there laughing or saying "yeah", "ok" etc. He tells me he gets frustrated that I never talk to him. The problem is, I don't even know what to talk about! Maybe my question isn't so much how, but what to talk about.. (link)
Okay, thats great that you found sombody:)
alright, besides the point./
Maybe ask him, how was your day?
uh.. how's school/college/work?
i miss you;
i really enjoy talking with you, and so on.
just nice little things.
say i'm corny, but it works for me!
i hope this helps.
xoxo


I have this huge major crush on this guy who sits in front of me. He's sort of a player at our school, but I like him anyways. He's popular, I'm invisible.
What should I do other than do the obvious?

I'm kinda sensitive and shy...a 16 year old. (link)
mm.

Players are douche bags, no lie
haha.
i was the same way with this guy Marc where i live, things didn't turn out
but, obviously i can't stop you.
and wish you luck.
mm, try laughing at his jokes, and try to pair up with him on school assignments, or uhm.... pass notes with him just to see how things are going with him, you never know, he might just like you back
:D


Ok so I might be going to the movies with tis guy I really like
All my friends say he likes me
I denie it. But KINDA think the same thing
Im kinda on the chub side & I think Im unattractive
But thats off topic;
In case he DOES like me
Im afriad he might kiss me
I want to kiss him
But first kiss = I have KNOW idea what to do
How to move my lips
Just. Im clueless with the WHOLE thing

Help?
Links to websites and bideos would be LOVED (link)
alright, this is simple.i will warn you now, you're going to be very shy. at your age, i'm sure he'll try to hold your hand and such, don't worry:)

don't pucker out your lips to much.
just a tad. and waitt til he's pretty close.
make sure he's trying to kiss you so you don't look silly.
if this isn't self explainitory enough for you, go to youtube.com

and type in how to kiss.

there is a lot of videos i'm sure:)
youtube is the best.

good luck!


Well Im 15/f, and i have a bf. For the past half of a year, i've been more interested in girls. I just learned yesterday that my friend who is two years younger than me is bi. i kinda like her, more than just a friend. I want to try to get a gf, but the ones in my school are druggies, and i just dont think they would accept me. My friend said just tell people, and they will accept you, but i just dont think they will. I kinda want to brek up with my bf, because i went out with him for almost 2 years, and we just got back together about a month ago. and i've realized nomatter how much time i give him hes never gonna change.

So what should i do? what would you do? Should i break up wiht my bf? i love him, just its kinda fading, and i want to try a relationship with a girl, i jsut dont know how to find one, and i think my friiend only likes me as a sister.

Please help me, and thank you very much! (link)
hello. don't go for a druggie, straight up. lol. they're a waste of time. A lot of people will say they'll except you, but truthfully. most of them will act like they will, and talk tons of trash about you behind your back. if you and your boyfriends relationship is fading anyways..... you should break up with him. nopoint in wasteing time right? if your not sure how people will react to you being with a girl in a relationship...... try finding you a bi/lesbian friend..... and maybe have like a secretive relationship.... and she how it goes. if it works out, and the love is strong. you'll knwo when it's the correct time to let it be known. talk to your friend whom you think on;ly likes you as a sister, you never know. try talking to her, and maybe try to hint out a firt here and there.
hope this helped.

My boyfriend is such a jerk to me! We have been together for a cuple of years now in a long distance relationship. He comes to visit me every 3 months but its such a drag to convince him! He is always making me feel bad and saying mean things to me. He is a jealous control freak! I feel that its my fault beacuse I let him do that to me in the first place. I've never been a party girl,I would say that im a stay at home girl. I dont have much friends..Im always with my mother..to me shes like my friend, sicne I share with her everything. I'm pretty confused i don't know what to do I really love him and i know that he loves me too but hes hurting mee verbaly and i know the consequences of that but i just can't let go of him. i live in US and he live in Mexico and i am willing to leave everything for him!! I know that its such a stupid attitude!!
The big problem here is because he doesn't trust me at all and I have told him that I am willing to do anything to show him that he can trust me. He tells me that I probably cheat on him and stuff like that. But why would i cheat on him? What would be the point of wasteing money on phone calls on wasting all this time with him i i has someone else right? I feel so depreate!! What can I do? I feel like i have tried everything and nothing seems to work! I just don't want to let go him just like that. I truly love him. We have talked many times of marrige. He will be turning 21 and ill be turning 19 soon.
So what can i do! (link)
Girl. don't let him say things to you. if he's a jerk to you, don't let it get to you. seriously. If he really loved you.... he wouldn't say those things. Also, let him know how you feel. explain to him how you aren't cheating on him and if you were you wouldn't be wasteing your time on calling him and things.........
he shouldn't be having those thoughts in the first place, it should actually be the other way around. maybe he's trying to make it a gentle break up? in a secretive type way?? i hope this problem goes away shortly.
good luck.


my boyfriend of so far 2 years wants to get married really bad because hes a marine overseas and he wants that relationship before he goes out to war. but the thing is since i dont see him alot, i dont know how he would act in everyday communication. my dad puts my mom down everyday throws things at her and fights with her every moment, but tells her he loves her.im afraid of getting into one of those relationships. what do i do? (link)
honestly, my parents used to be the same way, and the word "marrage" scares me.
uhh, don't do anything you'll regret. in my oppinion, i doubt he'll do anything oversea's.
it's really a type of trust thing.
