advice

I know the ways to tell if a guy likes you, but how can you tell if a guy doesn't like you and just sees you as a friend? The guy I like is showing a lot of signs, but certain ones he doesn't, so it's really hard to tell and I'm just not good at this type of thing at all.

if he invites you over to play video games or some kind of hobby together .. then your a friend

if he invites you over and he sort of entertains you - offers u a drink - maybe watch a movie .. maybe he shows you a hobby he has ... - he likes you

im 15/f i like this guy and we talk and stuff,but how can i know he actually cares about me?

you know a guy cares about you when he wants to see you doing well. He cares when he wants to see you happy.
You know when a guy cares about you when he calls out of the blue just to see how your day is going ... or when he does something nice for you.

Some guys will care about someone right away .. then after a couple of months they dont care anymore.
If your looking for a relationship then it is always best to wait a couple of months before getting serious with eachother -- if he is willing to wait then he likes you and respects you.
If he is not willing to wait and he strays away .. then u saved yourself a ton of heartache

i need urgent help, well not really urgent but, ya, my bf won't make out with me, i know he's not ready, but in really anxious becouse i have made out with my previous ex...

how do i cope?

well if he is not ready then you need to respect that.
Maybe ask him if he would like to talk about why he is not feeling ready ..

If you feel that you can't wait then you need to set your bf free so you can find a more experienced guy.
Be sure to let your bf know that you breaking up with him has nothing to do with him and everything to do with You.

This guy I like/liked [i don't really know anymore] told me before christmas break that he liked me alot, asked me if i liked him, i said yes. and i SERIOUSLY liked him alot. And then we didn't talk much over xmas break, and I got pissed at him and we got in a fight, didn't talk for a little. and then i come home sick one day and I see that he is IN A RELATIONSHIP with his ex girlfriend [whom i might add always complained about him and said how annoying he was AND she just got dumped the week of christmas break by some guy] so rebound much? I didn't even SEE this one coming. So now ... its been like 3 weeks theyve been togehether or something, and it's like they are haunting me. [he's in one of my classes] I see him and her at the movies. in the hallway. before classes. at lunch. I just don't know what to do. AND it's always like he's wanting me to see them together. Because when he hugged her today, he looked at me and it was like intense. but i broke away from his stare. and like, they sai i love you to eachohter on the second day they were going out. YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY LOVE SOMEONE IN A DAY. it's just not RIGHT. and she picniks all of their photos on facebook saying .. i love you

you should do your best to ignore them. I'm not telling you to move on because only you can make that move. But ignore them and be the better person - they could be doing it on purpose, or it could just be a coincidence.
The best thing to do for yourself is to let it go and ignore them .. change your routine if you have too so you dont bump into them.
Dont look around for them - and if u happen to see that they r coming your way - just dont even look over at them - you know they r there no need to look at them lol

If he likes you, he will come around - because your not giving him any attention ;)

We have arranged groups and unfortunately, I was paired up with one of my friends. I know you might be thinking, "UNFORTUNATELY?!" but out of all my friends and including myself, there's only 3 of us that actually try in school.

My friend even told me herself that she doesn't' care as long as she passes but I want to work in the medical field, which means I need super high marks if i want to fulfill my dream of healing people.

I want her to work and I can already tell that I'm going to get mad at her eventually and snap at her, ruining our friendship. How do I convince her to stop fooling around and just TRY without ruining our friendship?

Sometimes you just need to accept people for the way they are. Yes it sucks at times and this might be one of those times for you.
You won't be able to convince her, but you can let her know that this project is important to you and you hope that she takes it serious.

You might have to accept that if you want a good mark then you have to do the blunt of the work because she doesn't care what kind of mark she gets ... thats the joy of working in groups ...

Why not look at the positive end of it ... you will pretty much be organizing the project - you can give her a few assignments to do .. this is your chance to use your "leadership" skills..

have fun

hey girl i noticed you answered some1's sex question so i thought i'd ask you.. please help me.. but okay.. so this morning my boyfriend and i were having sex. i'm not on birth control but we always use protection and as he's about to go he always pulls out. today after we had sex we checked the condom to make sure there were no holes by filling it up with water. And sure enough, there was a freaking hole! but it was on the side of the condom towards the base of his penis.. so it was not near the tip of the condom where the semen collects .. it was away from the tip of the condom about 3 and a half inches. he said the condom was really tight and that he pulled out before he finished. when we filled the condom up with water we only figured out that there was a hole by squeezing it from all sides and it was a very tiny pinhole. do you think i'm okay ? =( or do you think that precum or cum could have somehow made its way up 3 1/2 inches to that hole and got out while we were having sex ? =( i'm so scared

I would say there is a very slim chance that precum or cum could have made it's way out of that hole.
There is still that chance though, especially if you are ovulating right now.
(2wks before your period).

If you are really worried, then go and get the morning after pill. That will at least ease your mind - you have to take it no later then 72hrs after intercourse.

Thanks for asking me, feel free to ask me anything again in the future..

alrighty so i like this guuy and hes soo cute (:
he came new a few weeks ago and ever since he noticed me i think... i mean everytime he walks by me he looks at me. thing is im really shy :S
so like today we actually smiled at eachother (:
like we looked at eachother for a long time and then he smiled. did he smile because it would be 'mean' just to look away or becaue he likes me?
I'm really really pessimistic.
so me and my class have dancelessons together and hes there too. i always say hi when we dance together ( we cant choose who to dance with, the girls always move one up and the guys stay where they are)
and he smiles but he ALWAYS smiles so .. :S
i really dont know lOl. i wanna talk to him more but im really shy. and like as i said im soo pessimistic so no matter what ill always think theres an excuse for him looking at me??!!
heelp :(

sounds like he is shy as well.

The next time you are able to strike up small talk with him and see if he goes from there ..

'Kay, so I got asked the other day on what kind of guys I like. And I thought of the question again afterwards, and came up with "I like guys who haven't been with other girls".

Is that normal? Like, I would see a nice guy, but if I know that he's had girlfriends before it's a complete turn off.

For example, the guy I'm kind of with right now, who's completely amazing and attractive only had an "internet girlfriend" before, and every time I think about it I get insanely jealous. It makes the time that we spend together unmeaningful and awkward. I really don't want to lose my chances with such, incredible guys like him so I want to try to overcome this "only guys who haven't dated" trait. Any ideas is welcome.

you really need to just let it go.

He is not with her he is with you, it was an "internet relationship". The energy you have put into this meaningless issue could have put into building a stronger relationship with him.

If you are unable to let this go then this guy should run like hell...

14/f

Ok so I've been called a flirt by one of my friends. haha I'm not mad or anything, I'm just wondering if I am. The rest of my friends don't think I am. Ok yeah like most girls I love attention from guys and they give it to me. But they are like friends to me and I just enjoy talking to them. I do laugh at alot of the stuff they say but its usually something really stupid. Like I'll go up to my guy friends at sit with them and talk to them or the other way around. I don't sit around and touch them or whatever. I don't say flirty things, at least I don't think I do. Is talking to guys alot flirting? Maybe because I always laughed? Sorry this was kind of a dumb question but yeah. Thanks!

you can not let what other people say to you dictate the type of person you want to be.

Perhaps this person who called you a flirt is jealous because of the attention you get.

Just ignore the haters and do your thing.

i read some answers on here about popping cherries and someone said some girls arent born with one? how do you know if you have one or not? i dont wear tampons but i play alot of sports and excercise alot and ive never felt it pop...so yeah how do you know if you have/dont have one?

your cherry .. which is called a HYMEN

A hymen is the thin piece of tissue that partially blocks the entrance to the vagina. Although some women are born without a hymen, most have one, and the hymen varies in size and shape from woman to woman.

Some women have a hymen that is separated .. for reasons not sexually related. more if the body is stretched strenuously.. like in sports, or wearing tampons. And sometimes for no apparent reason.

When the hymen is separated, whether during first intercourse or at some other time, there may be some slight bleeding and a little pain. Both the bleeding and the pain are quite normal and both usually stop after a short time. Some women experience no discomfort at all during this process that is commonly referred to as "losing your cherry".

So....I've known this guy for 2 years now.The first day I saw him I immediately felt a connection between us.But lately I havents seen him at all.And everytime me and him are with a group af friends he always bothers me and makes fun of me.And Ive been nothing but nice to him since the first day we met.And sometimes (like 30% of the time) he can be sweet to me but we are usually alone.So I wanna know what does this mean?

it means that he is still immature.

I suggest ignoring him when you and him are in social situations. Pretend as though he is not in the room ..

that will bother him alot.
When he does finally ask why tell him because he is rude in public so you dont want anything to do with him in a social situation.

I know you are not supposed to use soap down there, but is it ok to use baby whipes. Not the handy whipes, but the ones especially made for babies. Isn't that supposed to be gentil enough for a baby's privates? Would that be ok to use daily? Just to stay nice and fresh throughout the day. Thank you.

sure they would be ok .. but keep in mind that those are wet.. and unless you plan to also use a dry clothe to dry your genitals .. that could cause bacteria to form.

If you have a smell coming from your genital areas you should see your doctor

Omg okay! Me and my boyfriend has been off and on for almost two years. .We've broken up and started to see other people! During that time i had sex with this guy whom i had no feelings for but he made me feel wanted at the time soo anyways i was drunk and when i made him stop(like seriously a minute after we started) the condom broke! I tried to be responsible and get the plan B pill and get checked and they said everything was okay! Later me and my boyfriend got back other and i wanted to tell him bout that night so bad but i was so scared of losing him cause i always seem to mess stuff up or do things that could cause me to leave him! I recently went to the doctor to get on birth control and they took all types of test. Well on monday i received a call for them saying that i tested positive for chlamydia. .my heart dropped! I wasnt upset because i had it cause i mean i did the stupid stuff so i was willing to pay for it but i knew for a fact that my boyfriend had it too! I wrote him as soon as i found out and told him that we needed to talk face to face! He came over that night and we drove around as i tried to find out how to tell him. .finally it all came out after a hour or two and just as i suspected he was furious!! Before i told him i made him promise that he will stay over my house that night and he did! I took my pills for it before he came and i had his pill in the car for him! We had the most weird night ever! He hated me i know it but when we i start crying in the house he came over to me and hugged me sooo tight! That night was weird and so was that morning. .He got mad again and started yelling and crying then he decided he was going to stay with me and everything was good after that. .well i thought so! That same night it happened again. .the crying that is but we made up again! That morning it was like the stuff never happened he was happy. I was happy and we played around all day until we start talking about me going to college than that when it all blew up! He cried and i cried more than ever cause he couldnt help but to think about it! I told him that he should leave and find someone that makes him happy and all he could say was that im the only person. .that i all he got and want! After about an hour or two of crying and trying to find out if he was going to stay or leave he that he will stay and that he ment it! That he wanted us to have the family we always planned on and he know if he left that the tears wouldnt stop! Our tears dried and we laughed and played til i took him home but when we were leaving he seemed kind of mad idk if its because of what he was doing on the computer of if its cause he was thinking about it again! Long story huh. .Well my question is Is he going to leave me? Well the pain go away soon? Can we still be together and be happy after this or is our relationship just a timed bomb? PLEASE HELP! I CANT LOSE HIM!!

Thanks in advance!

well first he needs to see a doctor still.

You need to give him his space to sort this out in his head.

Chlamydia is curable so thats a good thing.
but if i were him i would be asking .. how did u get it.

yes i have been posting a lot about this situation, im sorry to keep doing this but i just dont know who to tell anymore..
this guy that i met a while ago yeah we talk online and ive seen him twice and ill probobly see him at my friend's in a few weekends but anyways, first he pressured me into sending him pictures which i didnt do. now he is pressuring me badly and keeps asking me to give him a bj. ive said, no sorry i dont think thats gonna happen , tons of times. but then he makes me feel so bad. and no i dont want to, and i wont. but its almost like i feel like this is sexual harrasment. the way he talks to me now..its like he doesnt even care about my feelings or what I want. its only what HE wants. he keeps on saying things like, yeah so just suck it. or, oh yeah your a good girl who doesnt give bjs, i forgot.
this is pissing me off and he is making me feel stupid and bad about myself, really bad. like im only good for one thing for him. i am being so pressured by him. and last night after I IMed him. [usually he IMs me but he hadnt talked to me since saturday night and i didnt know why] anyways after i kept saying sorry but i dont think so [in other words, no] yeah he was on for two hours today same time as me, never IMed me. why not. i know im paranoid but..ugh. i dont even know why i want him to talk to me. i wish i didnt care so much and could just get over him. he doesnt even treat me nice, at all. he orders me to do things for him. and then whenever i try to stick up for myself in a nice way, he just says k. or basically doesnt give a shit. or he just makes me feel dumb. like the whole picture thing? saturday night he was begging for pictures. and..i didnt know what to do..i said, would you be mad if i didnt send any..and he goes, um yeah kinda.
he is mean. doesnt even treat me fairly. i cant do this anymore. and then i have to deal with him going on and off with talking to me. i wonder why he does that..i know that he likes this other girl who lives in new york who is obsessed with him [seems like it] an writes on his wall I LOVE YOU. dont know what thats supposed to mean....

someone please help me

time to ditch the loser hunny.

you deserve better then this. A man who loves a woman would never make her feel stupid or bad about themselves.

Dont let him pressure you into anything you know is not the right thing to do.
Do not lower your morals and standards for someone who is mean and doesnt steat you fairly.

he goes and on aoff talking to you because he is playing a game .. the next time he does that .. and he stops talking - when he starts talking again - dont give him the time of day -- watch how quickly his tone changes.

u need to start involving yourself in other activities - hang out with your friends - make new friends - join a club - get a job - .. do something that does not involve him..

Every year I make tons and tons of Valentines. This year I'm doing the same and my sort of crush is one of the people I'm giving them to. He knows alot of people are getting one so he won't feel awkward about it, but I want to really subtly hint at him that I kinda like him. I plan on using a few inside jokes, I just need something that is flirty and ambiguous enough for him to interpret as either "she kinda likes me" or "she's just being as playful as she always is." HELP!

give him his very own type of valentine... give everyone else square valentines and give him a heart one.

15/F
This guy really likes me and has for a few years, but we're just now starting to click. But he's kind of a player and is friends on MySpace with websites of girls in thongs and bikinis and stuff :/
He wants to be my first kiss and all that.
He isn't too attractive; he's sort of starting to grow a beard, he's breaking out, but he's considered cool. He hangs out with that crowd.

I can't tell if I'm attracted to him. I told him that I'm not ready for a kiss or anything but we hold hands and cuddle and stuff. Haaha he's so weird.
But I don't know if he actually wants to GO OUT with me. He hasn't asked or anything yet, but I've sorta been dropping hints about it.
Any advice?

a first kiss will happen when it happens.
Its ok to not find someone attractive. Dont sell yourself short.
i think its cool that you know your not ready yet and you have told him.

Holding hands, and cuddling is pretty much going ..
