do you think that it is weird that a 24 year old guy is dating a 16 yr old girl? i do but i need other opinions, the girl is my best friend and i dont like it. I need help on how i can be more open about the situation. please help!!! (link)
this is not wierd but sum people would consider it wrong. i hav nuthin against it tho becuz u cant really stop people from likin eachother, no matter wut age they are. my brother is MARRIED to a 16 year old and hes 21...and they already hav a baby of 4 months. so if you think the age difference between your friend and her b/f is wierd, thats your opinion...sum people hav no problem with a relationship like that.


I really like my boyfriend but hardly any of my friends do and they slag him off in front of me and his best mate (angus) says that my boyfriend's changed since he started going out with me and now loads of people who *did* like him, dont like him. I don't want to lose my boyfriend over this but i dont want angus to lose him best mate either and i'm sick of my friends slagging my boyfriend off. what do i do? (link)
tell ur friends that they're great and all but you would really appreciate it if they were nicer to your b/f.tell them u kno they dont like him but u do and that should count for something and they shoould respect that. also tell ur b/f that if hes changed for u or because of ur friends that he doesnt hav to cuz u liked him just the way he was. also try to apologize to his best mate and tell him u never ment for him to change and ur sre if his changes hav started to split them apart cuz u never ment him to change in the first place. tell his mate that you really like ur guy but u dont want him and your b/f to stop bein friends.


Lately loads of my boyfreinds mates keeps coming up to me saying hes taking coke', but i asks him and hes says that i shouldn't listen to them cause they are liers, and that he hasn't done nothing, but i dont know what to belive, can you help me?. kerrieanne aged 15 (link)
well talk to him and tell him to be truthful.also talk to the people who are sayin this stuff. tell u'r b-friend he has to be truthful or you can't help him. if he doesn't talk to u and the people keep sayin this stuff, be more aggressive when u'r talkin to him. say with a firm voice that if he was really loved u he would tell u the truth. dont be scared and stand u'r ground. dont get violent tho.remind him no matter wut hes goin through, u'll be there to help him through it.


well it's weird cause a while back me an this guy started dating and we dated off an on for like 3 years.. well he got sent away cause hes sucha badass and we broke up, when he got home we talked a little but i was in another relationship... So it just drifted away - a couple months later i see him and now all we do is hang out all the time .. or atleast around eachother .. it hurts me because he was my first love and ill love him til the day i die. Im scared though cause he was messing with a friend of mine which i helped them get together but now all the sudden hes telling people he wants to be with me again ... its scarey but my heart is crying for him .. what should i do?


i reallly need your help someone PLEASE!! (link)
weell, ask u'r friend if she really actually likes him if she's still goin out with him. if she says no or she isn't and you wanna go out with him urself but u also want him to start behavin, do this. talk to him and say ' i will only go out with you if you stop bein a bad ass and gettin in trouble. if you break u'r promise then ill break up this relationship.' he'll respond if he really loves you. if he doesn't then you might as well try to forget about him.


I'm 16 & i admit, im currently head over heels with my best guy friend. He's loyal, truthful, funny, sweet, intelligent, gives me attention, flirts with me, & he's luckily single (actually-- neither of us have ever had a significant other.. which would suprise lots of people because -not to sound concieted- we're well liked & just plain good people.. and he for one is a GOOD catch) Anyways, we're kind of stuck in a rut. I am almost positive that he likes me, and i definately like him. Maybe like isnt even the word.. cause its stronger than that. But neither of us will make the first move. I know for a fact that both of us have gone through a situation where we do try to make the first move with another person & it ends up in a mistake or whatnot. So im afraid we're both too scared to take the initiative. I'm trying to ease my way into it.. taking baby steps & making subtle comments & trying to make him comfortable to make the first move himself. Any of you ever been in a situation like this?? Please help me.. i dont want to lose him & regret not taking my chance!! :o\ (link)
weeell, U'R just gonna hav to make the first move.simple as that. watch a movie sumtime and wen u'r sure hes really into it just say casually 'u kno, i like you.' he'll either just look at you or say 'wut?' or say 'u do?' and you say 'yeah, i do.' and that will be it. he'll prolly be kinda dumbfounded for a couple o' minutes but if he tries to hold u'r hand after that halp him in the effort.


I think I'm in love. what should I do? He has a girlfriend! Maybe even 2! Whenever I see him my heart starts to race. I just want to run up to him and kiss his gorgeus face. How does he feel about me? I will never know. I am a shy girl, all the way from head to toe. When I'm with him I feel as if I could fly. Fly Fly high up into the sky!!!!

What should I do? (link)
i read some of the other answers and i kno you were just ryming not saying he's a player!;)nice poem tho! well i think you should try and talk to him. but not face to face if your shy.have one of u'r friends 3 or 2 way him,and act as if u'r not there. get u'r friend to ask him if he likes you. if he says 'yes' or 'why?' u'r friend should say 'o, cuz she reeeaally likes u.'but if he says no, then u'r friend should say 'o, i was just askin.'that way, he can think wutever he wants and wen a guy does that they usually start to like you and flirt more.but if he says 'just as a friend' that means he prolly does he just doesn't wanna say anything if you dont like him. unless of coarse he says it as if hes annoyed.


ok theres this one guyz that ive liked for a long time and when skool was goin on most of my friends said that he liked me cuz we were in the one class together and he sat behind me and we talked like all the time and my friend to me we flirt way to much so she said that i should tell him i like him and so i did a few days ago online and he acted cool about it but then he wouldnt talk to me except he said bye to me when he had to go so then i talked to him like yesterday and we talked for a loong time and then when he had to go he said lyl which means luv ya lotz but i think he was kidding or something but i dont know cuz he says he doesnt like me? wut do u guyz think does he like me and hes hiding it or not? (link)
maybe this guy is scared or doesn't kno wut to think, but i think he kinda likes you. if you guys get along that well then he must.i just dont think hes totally into it. take some time and hang out more. keep flirting of course;),but wait a little while so that he canstart to like you even more. dont keep tellin him you like him and everything ALL the time but you can slip it in to convos 1 in long while so that he knos it and wont forget.


My boyfriend recently told me I was acting alot different and not being myself. I can see why he says that because I have been thinking about taking a break with him and I have SO much on my mind.
Tonight on the phone he kept saying he loved me and he never wanted to lose me AND our 8 month anniversary is this Saturday. Should I wait to call it off between us until after this Saturday or what?
I REALLY NEED THE ADVICE!! (link)
if you wait the damage will just be worse believe me, i kno.so tell him as soon as you can and apologize profusely!make sure you tell it to him easily and dont be hard on him. he'll prolly be obset for a while so give him some time to absorb what you say. but when you see him still say hi and stuff even if he is mean to you.


Dear reader,
About a year ago I met the man of my dreams (guy #1) and we love each other dearly, but he lives in Central America and I live in California. The thing is that three months ago I met a wonderful guy (guy #2) that really loves me a lot. And I’m going on a trip to Central America where the other guy (guy #1) is and he’s expecting me to see him. My recent boyfriend (guy #2) has a really bad temper and the other guy (guy #2) is miles away and I love the guy #1 more that than the guy #2 but I know it won’t work out. The question is should I see the other guy and maybe be something again at least for a short while or should I stay with guy (guy#2) and try to deal with his hot temper?
(link)
go for the guy that is farther away. sure it wont last forever, but atleast you can enjoy it while it does.the guy with the temper wont exactly do you much good if you love a guy who is millions of miles away and your always thinkin about him while your with guy #2.


hey ok i like this guy alot..i have for a while. he lives next door to me. the other day my friend chelse asked for his sn and gav it to her bff sam. sam took it and started talking to him, sent him her pic and now he likes her and she likes him altho she has a bf. he said that if they break up he'll go out with her. sam and him always talk about eachother to me. like he is so nice/hot w.e im so sick of it. i dont no what to do... :( help!
thanks love youu* (link)
tell your friend the problem first but try not to be mean.tell her she already has a b-friend and you would really like a shot with this guy.if she understands, get her to tell him th@ she doesn't like him anymore.after this, you get on the internet and talk with this guy or just have him over for dinner. just as a friend;).then you guys can play a fun game.


well i juss got a new bf today.. and you know how u hab those awkard silent moments at the begining of a new relationshp?!! well i dont like them!! what can i talk to him about htat will make him open up more..and not be like "so..yeah.." LOl. PLEASE HELP.

hi i am currlie and i am 15 there is this guy that i really like but i dont know what to do. we have so much in common and are really good friends we always hang out to. I am not the kind of girl to ask a guy out so i hape that someone can give me some advice i would really appreciate it

thanks , currlie (link)
get one of your friends to question him about his feelings or get on instant messenger and talk to him on th@.its easier to talk to someone about there feelings when your not face 2 face.


There is this guy I like at camp and popular opinion thinks he likes me too,but I've gotten mixed feelings from him lately. Last year, he was dancing with some other girl and this year he locked arms with her. But then again a lot of girls like him and he likes the attention...he hugs them and stuff...I don't know what to think I need a second opinion. (link)
if he flirts with you,holds open doors, and gives you gifts,etc., he probably likes you. if hes more intense with you then the other girls then that also means he prolly likes you. i had a situation like this with a guy who was kinda huggy with other girls but it was only cuz he liked to flirt.i could tell he did actually like me tho cuz he payed more attention to me.


hey im a 14/f and i wanna knoe if this guy is into me he always smiles , winks , holds doors , laughs , jokes , stares i think he likes me but im no expert i realli like him but not in an obsessive way should i tell him how i feel ? please help me i realli need some advie cuz im gunna see him this weekend and i need to knoe if i should tell him or not . but the thing is is taht i think if i dont let him knoe he wont knoe i like him alot and hell move on to another girl (link)
from wut you say it sounds like this guy likes you. you should tell him how you feel cuz your right, if he thinks your not interested, hell find a girl who is.


Hey everyone! I I have this boyfriend, and he's cool, but I think we would make better friends than b/f g/f. But when I told him I want to just be friends, he ignored me and now he still thinks we are going out. No matter how many times I tell him, he won't accept it. Now he started to ask me to do inappropriate things and he won't accept no for and answer. How can I make him accept my decisons?? (link)
tell it to him like it is, you-just-wanna-be-friends.if he doesn't except it make sure he hears you and understands.yell if you hav to and stop being miss nice girl,try to do it in front fo eyewitnesses so he can't deny it anymore.tell him your sre but you've been trying to be nice about it but he wouldn't listen. if he ignores you, you ignore him. if he asks you to go out on a date, tell him you hav plans with another guy or that you already told him its over.


I had a b/f for 9 months. We broke up b/c he wanted to go to drugs and I didn't want to be with someone like that. I told him at the beginning of our relationship if he wanted to do drugs I'm not stopping him but he won't be with me. So he chose drugs...week later he wants me back. I finally stood up for something I believe in, and I know I won't take him back...but what do I say to him? (link)
tell him you told him once and you ment it. if he choses something as stupid as drugs over you, he must not really love you.


i like this one guy a lot but he doesnt know about it and im friends with most of his friends and hes friends with most of my friends and of course were pretty good friends and i dont know how to tell him that i like him because im afraid he will take it the wrong way and wont want to be friends with me anymore and ive kept this a secret for about a year and i havent really gone out with a lot of people and hes only gone out with 1 person which was my friend.. i mean i want him to know that i like him but then again i dont what should i do?
(link)
hun, if you dont go up to bat, somebody else will.you shoudn't really tell it to his face but an easy way is to go to a friends house and three way him or just call him two way. tell your friend to ask him if he likes you and act as if your not there, if he says 'yes' or 'why?' then she should say 'oh, cuz she reeeaaally likes you a lot.' and if he says 'no' he doesnt like you your friend should say she was just askin. but thats only if its a definate no. if he says he likes you as a friend, that usually means a guy likes you he just doesnt wanna say anything if you don't like him unless he says it as if hes annoyed by the question.


ok well theres this girl that i've been inlove with since like 7th grade now im goin into 11th well we r friends now and we've gone through so much 2gether and we almost went out so many times but something always gets in the way she said she liked me a number of times but shes confused and she said she doesnt want to ruin our friendship she has gone out with 2 of my friends n both times i warned her about them and told her she would get hurt but she wouldnt listen and both times she ended up getting hurt i really like her alot and i would do anything 4 her i've tryed everything and im good friends with all of her friends, we always have fun when we hang out and stuff and she invites me over sometimes 4 dinner and stuff and i hang out with her and her family her mom and everyone loves me but still she wont go out with me what can i do i dont uunderstand why she wont go out with me she even said she liked me im so confused (link)
don't suffacate her, write her a poem or a song about how deeply you feel about her and give her time to think about it. try talking to her friends about how much you really like her and ask them what is holding you back from a b-friend/g-friend relationship.the roses are really nice and are probably giving you an extra few points, but make sure you don't over do it.if you do end up in a relationship make sure that if you break up, you don't act bitter towards her because then she'll think she that you two should have never hooked up.
