i had to go away from the country so the guy who i was with he refuse to say goodbye to me......he just turn his back and stop talking to me....and i wonder why??? (link)
Well, think about it this way, he didn't wanna say goodbye, because he actually really cares and he's sad. most people are like that, you just gotta reassure them that he'll always be in your eyes, your heart and in your mind and that you really love him


I know someone probably already asked this, and I tried looking for the question on search questions but I cound't find it..What does it mean when a guy pops a girl's cherry? Doesn't it mean she lost her virginity to him? I'm not sure..

(link)
Yes, that's exactly what it means. It means that whoever she lost her virginity to is her first time she's had sex with

hi,
ok here's the deal. there waz this boy. he told me he loved me. i didn't belive him.we became friends. he got a girlfriend who's also my friend. now i think i love him but can't have him. ( i don't think i envy them, feels like love to me.) I can't date him ever because he's dated my friend. i think he still likes me because he acts like it. What should i do. (link)
Well, 1) I just wanna say, Thank you! Now i know i'm not the only one! lol And what i did before, was really nothing actually. the more you hangout with him, the more you realize you just love him in a friend way or brotherly sisterly way. You could talk to him about it, that's what I did. and things will just work itself out, so just don't worry that much


do you think its weird if someone likes you that is like 2 years younger than you and you might have feelings for them too? because im going into 11th grade and this guy is goin into 9th grade and hes really nice and everything! its just the age difference i just dont know. i shouldnt let it get to me but i just find it maybe weird or like i cant get anyone else but someone yougner than me? and people might think i look desperate or something
what do you guys think
thanks i will rate 5 (link)
ok, one, i've been there, done that. when you do date someone who's 2 years younger than you, it won't really matter anymore. as long as you're with him and you talk to him, you'll forget about it just like that, so it'll be okay. don't fret about it a lot, it can work and it will work if you want it too. :)


im katie an im 15.. an i was in a relationship with a gud man he was funny, talented cud sing an was a gentleman ....an but he has a lot of flaws tho he has ben to jail quite alot ... we last seen each other a month ago an den he went to jail .. but be fore that i had kinda did something bhad an lied about ma age i told him i was one year older then wat i really was an then he said maybe we shud take this slow an i said ohk an after tht like to days later he went to jail an i never herd from him an den wen he got out of jail a week ago he text me like im out ma an i said im glad an i hope yu stay out an den i asked him if we was still together an he said nawh ma mebah we tlked bout tht .. i said no.... he said we needto put in time before we be together .. n dat kinda hurt .. but anyways i tlked to him on the fone an he was actin kinda funny an he didnt sound the same either ... i cud tell he chnged an then wen i saw him i cud really tell he changed i looked at him like theres somethin different bout you .. an now he askin me for money so tht he can buy an apartment closer to me ..an actin like we never even broke up like everythings all fine an dandy an after i told hhim no about the money he said i was playin games an shit an tht he cant be wit a girl tht do dat wat do i do
(link)
Ok, one, if he was really a gentleman, he wouldn't have asked you for money, he would've found a way to earn it himself and two, if he really did love you, he wouldn't care about your age. Sometimes, a lot of things happen and sometimes you gotta think, it might be happening for a reason. I would just take a break from all these relationships and have them find you, because there will always be a great guy for all of us girls. Just calm down, relax, take a break and focus on more important things.


I have major commitment issues when it comes to a relationship. I like him I do but I always try and find something wrong with him. HELP! (link)
Well, did you ever think about why you're trying to find something wrong with him? Was there anything that happened in the past that made you felt bad and hurt or depressed? Don't worry. It will be okay, just try not to look that much deep into him. Focus on what you have now, and not try to look for anything wrong, because that could cause even more problems. Trust him, know that you are the only one for him and don't think about anything else, just focus on what you both have right now. :)


15/male i was unsure about my sexuality for awhile but i think im gay i really like guys ive been attracted to guys for awhile not sure if its normal at my age i haven told anyone yet im nervous to say anything yet and i really like this guy were good friends and have really strong feelings for him not sure if he feels the same way im nervous to tell him not sure if i should wait or not i really like him but he might reject me should i talk to him about it? its normal to be gay at my age? (link)
Yes it's normal to be gay at that age. Also, you should let your heart speak for you and confess. But don't think it'll work because it always won't. But have confidence and confess. You might feel embarrassed after you have that conversation with him, but at least you got it out of your system. And who knows? Maybe the light of love will shine down on you afterall.

He never text me that day and I texted him like three times. And he finnaly said ill text you tomorrow. He never did that either.

my question is waht should i do? do you think he wa lying to me?
(link)
Well, it's believable. He probably is. What I would do is just go along with what he says and always have in your mind that he's lying so you'll be ready if he is lying


I'm a freshman in highschool and this year i've had a lot of "things" with people where it hasnt gotten farther then a hookup and just "i like you"& "i like you too". I really want a serious relationship but im on the verge of giving up because everytime I try and make a relationship work with someone it never does. Any advice? (link)
Serious relationships take time to getting into. If you get a boyfriend, take time to see what's he all about. Don't rush, like in a day ya'll are together, but the next day, you break up because you're trying too hard to look for something serious within him. It takes time, so don't rush. Get to know them a bit before everything falls apart.


i broke up with my boyfriend of two years about five weeks ago. writing, especially songwriting was my life. we even did music together and recorded it and stuff. but i havent written anything since we brokeup. i really want to but it reminds me of him it just hurts, plus i dont know where to start its like my gift has been totally flushed away for good. even my notebooks of songs vanished. what can i do?? (link)
Well, I'm a songwriter too actually and all my songs are based on a guy I like too. So...I can relate a little bit. Well, let me just say this...you haven't lost your talent. Your talent is still with you. You think you've lost it because deep down you still might be depressed about the breakup. Think positive to release the stress you've been putting on yourself. Don't feel down all the time. Be happy!


17.f

I've never had a real boyfriend nor have I had my first kiss yet. I'm a really attractive, smart girl, and I'm not weird. I just haven't been given the opportunity. I've tried twice to create opportunities for myself to get a boyfriend, but it never worked out. It is not my first priority, so I never really TRIED to get a boyfriend.

However, I was recently talking to someone, and she explained that I cannot be afraid of getting hurt. It's better to get hurt sooner rather than later, and it's really changed my point of view. I know and criticize girls for acting stupidly and thinking that a guy likes her when he doesn't, but they're just blinded. I thought that I could learn from their mistakes, but the truth is, I can only learn by experience. I can't watch someone drive and criticize them when they crash because at least they are even driving the car. They'll learn from the crash, but I never will unless I drive. It's just so easy to see a situation and say, "Wow, that girl is an IDIOT," but one day, that girl will be me.

I do not REALLY like anyone right now, but I'm just concerned that I won't get enough relationship experience in my high school career. I don't want to get hurt, but I know it's unavoidable. Does anyone have any advice for me? I just don't feel like I should be wasting time on stupid horny guys who don't actually care about me now. It seems that MOST (not ALL) guys are that way at my high school. (link)
Well,some guys can be really sweet and charming like a gentleman and it'll take some time for you to really get a man like that. But, are you outgoing enough? You need to put yourself out there and find a guy that's right for you. It's okay to flirt a little and have some fun. but don't over do it. You'll find the right guy too when it's time. Like a saying I know. "Good things will happen to those who wait"

theres this boy i like at school and he is in my class an were preety good friends to be honest an recently ive started to like him as more than a friend if you know what i mean, he doent know i like him wich is good or i would feel awkward around him but at the same time i wont him to know just incase he likes me to but i need to find away of finding out if he likes me without him knowing i like him. any help (link)
Well, i can you give you some clues to let you know he likes you.
1) he'll always be with you no matter what reasons
2) he'll kind of make it obvious, like always calling you, playing head games, will give you gifts
3) also if he says i love you, most of the times it's not only as a friend
Yup, you could get a friend to trick him to saying his true feelings about you while you hide somewhere where you can hear the conversation.


19/m

Okay so I'm part of a difficult relationship, in that I rarely get the chance to see my girlfriend. The problem here is that she is basically ALL I think about. Nothing else seems to matter to me as much as she does, to the point where I'm losing focus in school. I'm helplessly in love with her, but at the same time I can't just forget about my education. We've talked about it, and shes going through the same thing. We want to be with each other so much so that its beginning to interfere with other things. What should we do? (link)
Well, you could forget about each other once in awhile to keep up with your education. I mean it's not like when you forget about her for like a day or so, you won't forget her forever. Also, make some plans to be with each other.


I have a crush. I'm totally obsessed with him. But its no use, he doesn't really like me. But even though he doesn't, I still love him madly! There is this another guy....who is in deep love with me. He's in tenth grade. I'm in 8th grade. Hes in a different city. We might not get to see each other very often. Maybe we will never get to see each other. He wants me to be his Girlfriend. I don't know how to reply him. When i say I like him as a friend...he goes all emo. But I don't really like him as a boyfriend. I already have a crush on someone in our school. I love him a lot. This person who loves me...what can I say to him? What should I do? Please don't say "its your choice." :) thank you! I'm a fourteen year old girl and I need help! (link)
Well, what I think you could do is give him a chance. Who knows, maybe he'll rise to the occasion where you'll start liking him and in time you'll start to move on from your crush.


im male 14 almost 15 im gay and ive been with my boyfriend for almost a month and im not sure if im being too pushy or not but i really want to kiss him im not sure if its too soon or not should i bring it up what do i do? (link)
Well, kissing is something done special with who you love. So sure, it's been a month already, you two can start kissing, but what if he doesn't feel ready to kiss. I mean, like he might want a kiss, but he might feel embarrassed. You know, like other couples when they kissed for the first time or something like that. So he could be feeling the same way, just might be a little shy to do so at first. You could talk about it, like bringing the topic up in a conversation or waiting for the perfect moment like in a romantic love story. I don't think it's pushy though like if you talk about kissing with him, so go for whatever you think you should do.


im 14 male and my penis is almost 5 inches long is that an ok size? im really worried will it grow? (link)
I'm not really sure. I'm not a doctor, but I think you should check with one.


To put it bluntly, im scared of having sex, i feel its wrong and i hav this new bf who has done it a few times. He keeps saying stuff 2 me but i just hate the thought of it. i know thats really immature but i do need help (link)
Um......it's not wrong. You'll have sex when the time is right. If it's not time, don't let him pressure you. Also, if you're still in school/college, finish that first and then be serious with guys, k? Good luck!


F/17. Well i need some cute ideas for my boyfriend of over 2 years. I'm baking him a cake that says i love you but i want something else. And something low budget. He's leaving feb. 10 for boot camp so i'm doing this before then. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. (link)
chocolates
candy
roses
bears
write a poem/song just for him
write a love letter
create a scrapbook of pictures of you 2 together
make a cd with all your favorite songs
spend a whole day together


14/male and i think im gay im really atracted to guys i keep staring at them i really like a guy but im a bit nervous to tell him is this a normal feeling to be gay? (link)
Well, in my opinion yes. Also, do not just tell him about how you feel just yet beacause he most likely will freak out. Give it some time and you'll know when the time is right to start venting your feelings to him, k? Good luck to you!


I like this boy but am scared to tell him that i like him to his face...so i have decided to slip love notes into his locker until valentines day then tell him that i was the one who wrote them...Is this a good idea? Does anyone think it is cute and that he would like this? Thnx in advance!!14/F (link)
That is real cute which gets me thinking why I never thought of that. Anyway, I know how it is, afterall I'm your age, but almost 15 in April, but you can also have a deep discussion with him about your feelings. Ask what he thinks about you and ask him if there's a possibility of you two going out. Be brave and also tell yourself that there is also a chance it won't workout. I'm just saying so you won't be down in the dumps. If you just wanna do the note thing, I guess it's okay unless he's one of those types that likes girls to be straight forward. Go for whatever your heart thinks that you should do, k? Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
