Sometimes communication is all you need. Indicate to your boyfriend that you want to kiss a little longer, kiss him frequently, trace his lips, it is all about communicating. Don't forget that =)

So there's this kid who goes to my school who started talking to me...he's not attractive and he's kinda nerdy.I decided to give him a chance and start "talking" to him.
He claimmed he liked me and I just kinda said that i would "maybe" like him back.
He continues to talk to me online for like 4 hours a night and asks me to hangout.Yet when we hangout,he doesn't really seem interested AT All and gives me no attention and then that makes my friends think he doesn't like me.He talks to lots of other girls,who don't like him like that. BUt he claims he definetly talks to me the most.Since he's really nerdy,he hasn't really had much experience with girls .But how am i supposed to know if he likes me? I don't wanna tell him i like him without him telling me first because I don't wanna look desperate because I'm the "better looking and more popular" one between us...

Because of the fact that you already make it evident that you are better than him - he might automatically feel as if he has no chance. Perhaps show a little interest and he will show it right back.

i have been with my girlfriend for 4 months our sex life was amazing we took showers together slept naked but its all stopped its like i have to beg to bbe romantic to her whats happening or how can i make the good times come back?

For some, romance exists in the first initial moments - where everything is new and crazy. Perhaps you can bring some of that new and crazy back in - we often fall into a routine after a few months of being in a relationship - there might be something that she is looking for that you are not providing - in that case, ask her how you can please her better - you can ask her questions about fantasies, play games (21 q'n) - it is all about mixing things up and not becoming too comfortable that you fall into a routine.

Sometimes, a little space actually makes things better! Try to understand your girlfriend's needs as well =)

okay so im 14 and my boyfriend wants to kiss me..the thing is i never kissed anyone before and im really nervous and i dont wanna screw it up or do it wrong. please helpp :)

I was like you when I had my first kiss - I had no idea what to do and I thought I would start laughing before it even happened.

Even though I DID laugh while it happened and still had no clue what I was doing - it was a memorable and funny moment. You both will laugh!

If you are really nervous about screwing it up - just let the body work its magic. Sometimes a first kiss will just come naturally - read his actions and he will read yours. Start with a peck and go from there. You can be honest with your boyfriend and tell him that you have never kissed anyone, and that you might be bad at it - but so might he! and if he isn't, well he will teach you =)

I only have a 6 inch penis and im 13. i wanted to know if i could make it bigger.

You are just starting puberty. There are a lot of growth changes coming ahead of you. If you are 25 and still feel like its 'not enough' - worry about it then.

besides, you are quite young to be thinking about whether or not it is big enough! (in my opinion)

So I was in this amazing relationship back in July-August and I loved every minute of it. He was an amazing guy that made me happy and I made him happy and everything was perfect in our relationship. Except for the fact that his parents did not like me (mainly his father because he thought I was just using him because I was "too pretty) and his brother who hates me because he thinks I'm a slut. Oh yeah and our classmates don't like us together either. They constantly gossip about me and call me horrible names (mainly girls) because I was dating him. Why did our amazing relationship end you ask? Well because I had enough of the drama and stress that came from our relationship and I ended it and I regretted it ever since. Like to this day I still get butterflies when I pass him in the hallway, in class, etc. I don't know why though :/ I can't stop thinking him either which is weird. I'm zoning out in class because he pops into my head frequently which is crazy right? I'm usually an A student with all AP Classes but lately I've been just out of it :/ So anyone wanna help me out here/give me tips/advice?

The very fact that you have let external influences end your relationship tells me that you are not very strong in dealing with the criticisms, jealousy and assumptions that often come when new relationships are established. If you are as serious about this person, you first need to be comfortable with yourself as well. Does it bother you that people are 'talking shit' and saying mean things about you? Is anything that they are saying actually true? Because if it isn't, and you know and he knows who you are - the rest of it is very easy. This relationship includes you and him. Everyone else is just a bonus. Of course having the support of his family is important. He needs to inform his father who you really are, and you should also show his father that you are not a ditz but an A student with AP classes who does well in school (I'm not sure how you can use someone for being 'too pretty).

Clearly there are misconceived images of you floating around. Either you need to clear this images up, or forget about what other people say - if you always indulge yourself in gossip, you become just another rumour. Give yourself some credit, keep a high head on your shoulder and do what feels right!

well, i'm little confused, i met this guy 22 days ago, we have met each other well, and we kissed in the first date.. i guess that is wrong cuase we started very fast..

he smoke marihuana, i hate that.. i dont know the way to come and talk to my dad and explain him thaT jorge's feelings bout me are true and not for wht they think: to have sex.. hes not that way and i want to change my dad thought..
he doesnt even want to meet him seriously.. he told me that he doesnt want him to come to this house..
and my father is not jealous.. i just want that he likes him...
how should i ask him in a nice way to give him a chance??
i am from costa rica but i understand english well

In a case where your parents have thoughts about not liking your boyfriend without really knowing him, it can be hard to change personal views. Your father has particular information about this boy that he deems unacceptable for his daughter. If you want your father to get to know this person for who he is, you might want to establish a better relationship with your father first. Therefore, try to sit and talk with your dad, simply telling him small things about the way Jorge makes you feel? How he treats you? Things that he has done thus far.

Let your dad get a picture of this guy, that is a true depiction of him that you think so - Show your dad through talking that Jorge is a good person who may have made mistakes in the past but everyone learns. if you really think Jorge is a good person enough to fight for, you should.

Once you show your dad how happy you are around this person, then your dad will follow through (hopefully) and try meeting him. I suggest having Jorge over for dinner or going out to a restaurant for dinner and let it be a very relaxed environment. =)

My friend says he doesn't like me.
Okay, I'd believe him, but here's why I don't

-He is always staring at my lips or neck or chest in a lull in the conversation

-If we aren't around his friends and just by ourselves or around strangers, he can't keep his hands off me. He'll flip my hair or tickle my neck or poke me in the leg or grab my wrist and pull me closer and act like he's gonna hurt me, or he'll grab my jacket and say "It's mine now~
And he'll tease me.
He just touches me or grabs me ALOT.

-He'll randomly pop up wherever I'm at

-Even at like, 12AM if I'm upset he's there for me. One time a guy was getting on my nerves, and he said he'd beat hell out of him if he kept at it(this could be a 'just friends' thing, I admit)

-Every morning he texts me a clever little greeting

-He delights in proving how he's bigger and stronger than me. He doesn't treat other girls like this.

-He'll flirt with my friend when I'm there, yet I asked my friend how he does when I'm not around, and he doesn't do a thing.


What do you make of it?

You might be reading into his actions because you are already predisposed to thinking he likes you.

Looking at someone's lips and facial area when they talk is just natural - I do it all the time.

As for touching you, how long have you been friends for? Some people just have no boundary issues - they might just think that in your friendship, it is all comfortable - there is no level of being afraid or uncomfortable because you have a unique way of bonding(this bonding doesn't have to be intimate or sexual)

Some friends are just true friends - they are always going to be there for you, they will always tease you!

If he is not telling you he likes you, even after you ask - then there is a reason why he doesn't want to and that might just be because he doesnt like you..and only likes you as a friend. If you still feel that he likes you, ask him what he really thinks about you!

i just met him 22 days ago.. we're not serious dating.. we're meeting and going out.. he told me that his mother is very happy cause he is dating.. i would be the second girl that he takes to his house.,. im supposing coming to his house the next week, in 8 days.. but im not sure cause i think its a little hurry to meet them.. i will love it!! and love it more if i know their parents are really happy to meet me..!! but should i go this long or wait a little more=?? and how should i act in front of them??
wht should i not to say??

When you are meeting someone's parents, you are making an entrance into their lives. If you feel that at this point, you are not ready to be in their life, I suggest you should wait.
The fact that you are questioning meeting his parents, shows me that you are hesitant and I think you should wait until you are more confident about the relationship itself. His parents are excited for him to be dating in general, that is great. But you will be making a first impression, and that is a very important one. Unless you feel confident in your own shoes (not acting) you shouldn't meet his parents. You can wait a little, let the relationship grow.

Never think you have to act a certain way infront of parents. if you are confident with yourself, let your colours shine. This doesn't mean that you can be disrespectful and blunt the first time you meet them. Be courteous and thankful for them inviting you to their home. However do not be uptight. Let them see you for who you really are. If it ends up working out- they will anyways!

so ive been with this guy for probably like 2 weeks.
but im wondering when we should kiss?
we havent yet, and he would be my first.

any suggestions on what to do?

A first kiss is relative. There is no 'time' for it to happen and there is no window of opportunity either. If you feel like the atmosphere, the mood and the romance is there - kiss the guy!
Spontaneity is my favourite.

Just know that a first kiss is special. Don't force it to happen, it will just happen. That is a bit cliche, but a kiss is a product of the right time and the right moment (a good one at least).
