Q: so im into this guy paul and have been since 8th grade. now we go to different schools. he used to call me up at night and just talk for hours. we almost hooked up but didnt. plus one of my best friends is always on again off again with him which makes things harder. now we havn't talked for about 5 months and i really miss him. he reached out to me but that was a while ago. i know its my turn but im just nervous and akward.HELP
just strike up a normal conversation and once you are talking it up tell him how you feel. trust me it is nottt that hard. you will feel sooooo much better once you tell him.

Q: 18 female.

i'll admit, i think i'm a pretty girl. i do have confidence when it comes to guys because i've been told so many guys that i'm gorgeous and any guy would be lucky to have me but i'm still a virgin. i'm not ashamed of it, i love the reaction guys get when they hear this because they think it's impossible. the bad thing is, i am always horny. i have never actually went out with a guy before maybe it is because you could say im a "prude" the farthest i've gotten was making out and well the usual butt and boob touching. gotten a hickey but thats all. i always have the urge to do things with guys but i can't let myself do it for some reason. i'm scared, i'll admit that and i feel like i'm always just going to get used by guys. i feel like if i do something i'll get attached to them, and i'll really start liking them and they will just want to hook up, with no strings attached which will hurt me in the end. no guy has ever asked me out, well because i'm picky. i know tons of guys who have liked me and i flirt with them but i feel nothing beyond being friends with most of them and then they move on. i want this guy, who is unavailable and the bad thing is i can only see myself doing anything with him. he knows i like him, i have feelings for him but he won't break up with his girlfriend. also the guys i do like, they try to do things with me and i back off. like i get scared when guys want to kiss me, or make out with me or even go beyond that. i know i'm not ready for sex but how can i overcome doing something physical with a guy?
well the truth is if your not ready... you should not have to worry about doing something with them. he wont be the only guy you will ever imagine yourself with. and normally if you do do something with a guy it deffinately doesnt always make you feel more attached. Odds are that many guys do want just that, but if you get to know someone you never know..you might develop getting attached to who they are.

Q: ok well i was with my boyfriend for about almost a year then i found out i was pregnant i decided
to keep the baby but now we arent together and im 6 months pregnant we broke up because he thinks im in love with some one else which is kinda true. i love one of my closest friends. my boyfriend ask if i would pick him over my friend and i said no and thats why we broke up. see i've known this guy since middle school and i kno that he will always be there for me and i care about him alot we used to date but we broke up and now he has a girlfriend who hes been with for a year and 3 months i told him how i felt a while ago but he said he wanted to see where his relationship with the new girl would go anyway yesterday im ex call and asked me if i still loved him but i realized i never really was in love with him but didnt want to hurt his feeling so i ask him was he in love with me and he said yes then i told him i cared for him but i didnt want to be with him and he said you'll change your mind and hung up ............so now im wondering what should i do should i give up the idea of my being with my friend and go back with my ex or keep hope alive

you cant make yourself love someone. no matter how hard you try.try to make things right between you two though, you dont want him on bad terms with you.and as for your friend.. i would say forget about him too... keep him as a friend, because og course you are going to need support from everyone but ask yourself if you really need a guy there for you.
good luck.♥christina

Q: The guy I like, KC, and I got into a fight last night. I really like him and i want to make up with him but i dont know how or if i should wait until he's cooled down to talk to him. We go to different school and live in different towns so its hard to get together and meet or whatever. plaese help.
just call him and tell him your sorry
if it was your fault
if it wasnt your fault he should
apologize to you.
wish you well , christina

Q: The guy that I like doesn't like me back. No surprise, that happens a lot, right? But there's a big story behind this, if you feel like reading a lot:
I got my friend C to ask the guy I like R's friend M if M could ask R about me and stuff. I really wanted to know if he liked me back or not, but I'm guessing now that I wish I didn't. So basically, M, C, and I are having this huge rendezvous and R knows nothing about it. All R knows is I like him.
What M told C, when he asked R what he thought of me, is: She's really cool, but we don't talk that much (e.g. we don't know each other that well). And after C told me that, R's been saying "hi" to me in the hallways and stuff and he usually doesn't. But he doesn't like me. I really don't understand...
maybe he is trying to get to know you more
when he says hi say hi back
but dont show too much more interested
make him think you moved on
guys always are going to chase what
they think they cant have..
dont stop playing hard to get until
he asks you out but dont blow him off.
simple. =] good luck

Q: So I was at a school, and during my last year there, a new guy came and we became really good friends.
He has always been really nice to me and flirts a lot.
Tonight I went to the cinema with him and on our way there(on the bus) we were sitting close together and talking a lot.
During the movie we were still very close together and like I had my head on his shoulder.

After the movie we went to the bus stop and it turned out that we had to wait 40 minutes until the next bus. So we went around walking and then we randomly hugged and we didn't let go of each other for ages.
Then we were just walking around and he'd randomly hug me every now and then.
Near the bus station there were stairs leading up to some building and we were up there and he was hugging me there aswell. He was complimenting me a lot, and on the bus back he put his arms around me and was cuddling me.
When it was my stop he looked really disappointed and hugged me tight before I got off and few minutes later texted me saying ''Tis no fun without you here''
I've really started to like him but I'm not sure whether he likes me in that way.

Usually on msn we can talk for hours without awkward pauses.

So yeah, does he like me or not?
It seems like it
yeah.

Q: My subject is my question I really like this guy at school and I think he likes me but how do i tell for sure? I'm no aloud to date till grade ten anyways but i think it would be reasuring to know anyways.Oh and i'm a girl, age 13.
well when i was 13 [3 years ago] i wasnt even allowed to leave my house much less date.
i did anyways.to find out if he likes you you should either try to ask one of his friends or,
ask him yourself.its really not that bad people have to end up telling each other in the future anyways.

Q: Okay so there is this kid I REALLY like and we are just friends, Lets call him Jim.

And me and Jim are really good friend's we are always talking online and stuff then one night it was really late and we where having a converstaion like we always doo

then like the next day at school he completely ignores me when i said hi, he saw me say hi too..

and then the next day he does it again and then by the third day i had enough of it so i went up to him and said hi right to his face.. he gave me the meanest look and then just walked away

im suprised because he usually is looking for me in the morning before the bell rings and he is always like OMG HII!! and he always waves and says hi in the halls and like now he doesntt and i dont know if i didnt anything wrong..

but like. i ALWAYS see him walkin by like me and my friends would be standing by the lockers and he would keep on walking by.. idk if that means anything.

and then like on the computer he talks to me like there is no tomorrow after ignoring me in school its so weird

but yeah i just wanna know what why he keeps avioding me.. my friend says its cause hes falling for me but then i think he wouldnt be avoiding mee i dont know.
boys aree weird about theyre feelings.
he very well could like you and befeeling weird about it cause hes thinking if asking you out,
oorrrr,
he knows that you like him and he dosent want you to know he does not like you and doesnt want to hurt your feelings.
why dont you ask him why hes doing that online??
and tell him how that makes you feel.

Q: Ok. I am having a hard time deciding who i should go for.. can you help?

guy 1 - He wants to get back with me we were dating for 1 year we have a lot in common. I broke up with him because he almost cheated on me and i could never get over the trust thing and i met another guy [but that didnt work out]. He really loves me and cares about me but we fight all the time still. I love him but im not sure.

guy 2- He moved to Texas he used to live out here. He is moving back out here he likes me we have a lot in common but he keeps getting arrested for being a dumbass out in texas so the day that he comes back out here keeps getting set back. He talks to a lot of girls though and i kind of have a feeling hes a man hoe but im not sure. he says that if he were out here we would already be dating.

guy 3- He says he likes me and gets pissed when i dont act like i like him back. hes cool and fun to be around but he constantly talks to his ex that he claims he's over. He also has pics of some naked girl on his phone. i dont know if he really likes me or if he just wants to have sex with me because he makes references to it all the time. he says that im hot and that he likes me because we have stuff in common.


who would you choose..or what should i do?
a relationship is all about trust so i think you would have to get over your trust issues to be with number one.guy 2 you need to get to know him more if you want, and guy 3 should totally be out of the picture.you could try to build your trust more with guy1 and understand the fact that he ALMOST cheated, not he did.guys will cheat even when theyre older, its just the way most of them are although they might be nice. i dont want to sound rude, but you dont need a guy. if it was me in that position i would know i have choices and im better than that and try to find some one whos better than them.but its your choice.good luck.

Q: ok so theres this guy who likes me and i like him (i think). Hes 3 years older than me but both our moms agreed for us to date. I just got out of a realtionship that my mom didnt exactly know about and i still like the guy but i dont think he likes me anymore. I have a tendacy to like guys only if they like me. Should I just forget about my ex and move on and take a chance with this new guy? or should I just keep crushing my ex since i dont know if i like the new guy? im so confused.
ive been there.
give the new guy a chance you never know,
he might be the one that makes you forget about
your feelings towards your ex.
when i was in this situation,
i took a chance with someone but with him i couldnt forget about my ex but i took a chance with someone else and weve been together for a long time. so im saying at least try taking a chance,it could lead to something great.

Q: alrite so i have this really close group of friends,its pretty much the 4 of us all the time. over the summer we got close with this group of guys, my 3 friends all had their flings but i never was interested in any of them. untill the end of the summer and i started crushing on this one boy, mike. we were friends awhile back but once i started haveing feelings with him it was always very akward. on day we hooked up and then didnt talk again for a while. we both know that the cheimstry is there, alot of ppl tell me he likes me but he wont call me or come up to me in school. it bothers me because we would be hanging out a lot more if it wasnt for his friends that ended the "flings" with my friend. ugh its soo frusterating! sometimes he flirts with me and then he doesnt talk with me for a week.=\ should i say something to him of should i just forget about it
i say you should talk to him about it and tell him how you feel about what hes doing to you.

Q: 15/f, he is 17/m

okay there's this guy who REALLY liked me. his friends always told me that he liked me and he would always do all those "classic" things boys do when they like a girl. he knew that i knew he liked me, and i think he had a clue that i liked him, but he never really mentioned anything too straightforward.

so when i told him that i really liked him too about 2 weeks ago he just kind of smiled to himself then like he changed the subject. i didnt really think about it because i was really confused so we talked about some random crap for like 2 minutes then he said he had to go. he didnt say whether he liked me back or not. so i told him he could talk to me through myspace later that day and he never responded. i dont want to chase him and seem desperate, so now im STUCK!

i know the rule "if a guy likes you he'll ask you out", but i also know that when a guy flirts with you more than any other flipping girl in the flipping room practically every day then he definately has something for you.

did he even like me in the first place? if he did why didnt he ask me out or even bother to talk to me =[ i
boys always are going to need time to ask a girl
even when they like them alot.
if you still have doubts in about a week then
confront him IN PERSON =]
cause then he cant just walk away
but dont make it seem like you like him as much as you do
cause thats when a guy will lose interest and think he can have you and its too easy.
goodluck ♥christina

Q: okay, well every day during this summer i have babysat 9:00am-5:00pm. i babysit my brother(8) and my sister(3) omg, i just don't know how to handle them. its really stressing me out, and when i get stresed out i yell, alot. i don't mean to but it just sorta happens. like my brother and sister fight alot and they are just at eachother ALL THE TIME! like today my sisiter was standing in front of the refrigerator trying to gte yogurt and then my brother came over and shut the door on her and he was like well she had the door all the way open and i was like SO WHAT?! and she was crying and i didnt know what to do then he spilled this blue yogurt thing and refused to pick it up and so i hit him with a towel. :p and i was just like wow, brat. and he started crying and was like i'm telling mom you broke a bowl and ure being mean to us and hitting us with stuff. and i was like, DO YOU EVEN SEE WHAT YOUR DOING?!? and ughh i just dont know what to do, i tell my mom i want to stop but she doesnt even consider it. and i really wanna just have fun when i go into school, and not be stresed out. i dont really have a specific question to ask but like idk what do i do they are sooo frusturating and refuse to do anything and think i'm only there to wait on them hand& foot.
tell your mom that theyre a handful
and if that doesnt work have them do stuff with you . like watch a movie or play some games
and if it requires running go out in the backyard
or something.you will have fun and they will too =]

Q: Everytime I'm with my boyfriend we make out, h.j's, b.j's, fingering.. like all of that stuff... we do it like alotttt. atleast 4 times every time we're together.. so like, 4 times in 5 hours. But do you think he's using me? like I feel like he always wants to do stuff!
what do you think!?
i would feel that wayy too
just talk to him about it and tell him how you feel
if he doesnt understand then he is using you and it be best for you to just leave him ,,
and if he does understand then things will get better and hes not using you
goodluck ♥christina

Q: F/15

okay well im a virgin and ive barley had my first kiss. and theres this guy who i really like and we havent meet. he lives in jersey. but anyway movining on. we were talking and he asked how far i would go with him. and i dont know how far i would go. mainly because ive never made out with anyone and im really idk i feel awkard talking about it but i was just wondering how far is too far for my first hook up?

thanks.
i think that
it would be making out
at least the first time..
because you dont want to seem too easy
and i mean tell him that you dont like to talk about it because it makes you feel shy because you havent made out with anyone.. if he doesnt understand then
hess not the rite one
