Hi, I am 25, female & single.

I met this guy - 28 - a couple of years ago when I was dating a friend of his - not extremely close - however we never really talked until about 3 months ago. We hit it off and I'm pretty sure he likes me. I really like him too although neither of us have communicated this. Problem is he dated a girl for ~2yrs and he's only just broken up with her - about a month ago. We've talked briefly about it and he said that they were heading different ways, that he's been over the relationship for a while, but took some time to break it off because he was afraid of breaking her heart. He also said that his friends have been trying to set him up with girls but that they just haven't been his type. I asked whether he thought it was wise to jump into another relationship just yet, and he responded with - if it's the right girl I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I figure I should wait for him to come to me, but how long? How do I let him know I like him without falling into the rebound category? If I leave him alone completely I'm afraid he will end up with someone else... Love some advice :) (link)
ho i was once in this situation,what i did was i let him kno how i felt because i reallly liked the guy a lot and i knew he like me as well.he had just come out of a 3year relationship and just like you, i didnt want to be the rebound girl.what i did was i told him how i felt about him but i also let him know that i know that he may not be ready for another relationship right now and i will give him all the time that he needs and when he is ready i will be here for him.I went on two month vacation a couple weeks after we discussed it and when i came back home,he was at the airport waitin for me and when i came outside,he proposed.we have been engaged for 8 months now and we're getting married next July.What i'm saying is let him know how you feel,keeping your feelings bottled up inside will do no good,but make sure you let him know that you're not gonna rush him into anythng,be sensitive to the fact that he just came out of a relationship.Let him know that you're here for him as a friend if he needs you but you hope that someday yall could be more than friends.Just remember to have faith.Follow your heart,i'm not saying that because i did it and i got lucky, that the same thing would happen for you but sometimes we gotta take risks. i hope all goes well for u and i hope that i helped.Let me know how it goes, ans feel free to ask me anything else if you like.
:D


out of nowhere my ex texted me last. i didn't even know he still had my number because i surely didn't have his. it's been 2 years since we broke up and it was a mutual decision after he found someone else. he's still with that other person. how do i respond to this? is he just trying to catch up as friends? (link)
he is probably just trying to be friendly,text him back casually.


I know that you can't judge this by the internet, but I'm extremely paranoid. I'm 16 & I was drunk this past weekend. I ended up hooking up with a boy. He's the kind of kid that acts like he gets a lot of action, but I don't know if he's lying or not. (I have no real proof). Well I started to perform oral on him for about 3 minutes (unprotected) but then I stopped and said I didn't want to do it. And the next day I kind of had a sore throat but barely, it wasn't severe at all. Just tiny bit. But it might have been from making out for so long because that's happened to me before. Well now I just have some phlegm (sp?) but it's not bad. And my gums by 1 of my teeth barely hurt, but it might be from brushing my teeth so hard. Do you think I'm at risk of an std? (link)
It is possible it could be nothing or it could be an STD,the only way to know for sure is to get yourself tested.And for future reference try not to hook up with guys you dont know personally and at 16 years old you should NOT be drinking.ITS AGAINST THE LAW


Today my boyfriend and I had sex (with protection) we went on for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. Like really into it and stuff. i not trying to be very detailed i just want to get as much feedback as possible in return. After we were done my stomach started giving me this really weird pain that lasted like an hour, is that normal after sex?
Thanks soo much! (link)
it is possible thats its just a stitch form the rigorous activity. think about it sometimes that happens if you work out without stretching first.


i started the pill (othro tricyclen lo) and ever since i started (this is my 2nd pack) i've been really dry down there. is this normal? and what can i do to fix it? (link)
it is possible that it is an effect of the pill,see your doctor who prescribed the pill for you and maybe they could try you on a different pill.since you're on your second pack and it's still happening you should really consider changing your pill


Hey ive been having all symptoms of being pregnant, and ive been pretty stressed over it and scard about it.. could i just be getting these symptoms because im stressing over it? or are you really only going to get dizziness and tender breast because your pregnant? please help =( (link)
to be on the safe side take a test


ok how long do you think me and my bf should be together before we have sex. he's thinking 5 months but idk im ready whenever but idk how long do you think we should wait? (link)
When the time is right it will happen.dont overthink it.just ensure when yall do start having sex, practice safe sex.


ok well i think im ready to start doing sexual things..! like i dont really know how to explain it but....i am .. the only thing stopping me is i need 2 find a boyfriend..sooooo i guess my questions are: how can i let a boy no that i want to do things with him..??.. and like any comments..!! btw. 14/f (link)
You're 14,your sexual urges are jus hormonal.You may think you're ready but deep down you aren't.When you do get a boyfriend,before you could start having sex with him,you both need to be psychically and emotionally ready. You should not get a boyfriend just to have sex,that's being slutty(sorry) but when you get a boyfriend,the both of you should make sure you have feelings for eachother that you dont feel for anyone else,and ensure that he is the person that you really do want to lose your virginity too. Having sex for the first time jsut for the sake of having sex is something you will regret in the long run. and when you get to be 30 and you're talking with your friends you want it to be something that was memorable not jus oh yea i got tgtr with a guy so i could have sex with him.And when you do choose to have sex make sure you are being responsible and practicing safe sex. Think smart!!


if you are not on birth control and you have sex with a guy wearing a condom what is the chance of getting pregnant? (link)
condoms are not 100% effective 100% of the time,but the chances of you getting pregnant is probably 1 in 1000


So awhile ago I met this freshman guy. We're both in high school, just to clear that up.
And he's way cool, and I kind of liked him.
And I'm a junior.
So I was wondering if it was weird to have that kind of age difference?
It's actually not that big. I think he's almost fifteen, and I won't be sixteen for like 8 more months. I'm a young junior, hehe.
Anyway, a lot of people tell me that that's weird.
So is it? (link)
Hi!!! Age is just a number.. If you really like this guy, go for it.You're just like a year older so that doesnt matter.Goodluck


ok i need help, my boyfriend and i have been going out for 5 months now and we were friends for a year, hes perfect and he treats me very very well.and we both love each other very much also.but 4 years ago i feel in love with a guy and we were planing on dating and things didn't happen that well because my best friend at the time made up lies about me which he believed and later ended up dating her.now that he knows the truth he wants to come back to me and start dating me but i cant because i love my man and i wouldn't hurt or leave him.. but on the other hand i want pay back and i want to see what it would have felt like if i was his girlfriend because i still have small feeling for him... can anyone plz help me out .. plz (link)
First of all i hope you got rid of that person as your friend because a real friend wont do that to you. You say you love your boyfriend,stay with him.it wont be fair to him if you leave him to see what it would have been like to date another guy.Pay back is not the way to go,most of the time it comes back and bites you in the a$$.You could end up losing the both of them so keep things they way they are now.If you were meant to be with the another guy,in time it may happen.follow your heart and you say your boyfriend treats you very very well,he doesnt deserve you blowing him off for another guy. Goodluck!!!


Okay.
So I have a boyfriend (but besides the point, I'm kinda crushing on another guy.)
Anyway,so me and my friend we're always together, and we're always hugging and just touching.

So today we were goofing around, and he was hugging me, and hehheh, I felt that he had a boner, cuz well I could feel it on my leg, ha.
So I don't really know about that stuff, does that mean he likes me? (link)
No that is not a sign that he likes you.guys get randomn boners. and if you have a boyfriend, you need to make a decision.because cheating on him is wrong and hurtful.


I love this girl.
She lives in Ireland, and I live in the US. Her mother decided last week I'm not allowed to speak to her anymore. Naturally, I'm heartbroken.
How can I get over her? (15/f)
HELP!! (link)
Let me start by saying how sorry i am for what happened to you. Parents force their kids to do things sometimes because they feel that they're protecting them but they are actually causing them more pain and hurt then they would have felt before.Time heals all wounds.I know its really rough on you now but in time the pain will go away.Cry,scream,write a letter to her(you could send it or not) just get your feelings out.Also try to focus your free time on doing something constructive,the less idle time you have the less time you have to think about her.I promise it will get better soon.All you have to do is try. I hope you feel better soon. Goodluck!!!


well i have this kinda girlfriend. and well we used to be together when i lived in the same town i moved to live closer to family and she got upset. whenever i go see her it is like we never broke up and she begs me to move back so we can be together. now i love her sooooo much but i dont think i want to go through all the drama. i go toschool and i like where i am the thing is i love being with her and i love everything about her. what do i do? (link)
well if you really love her and she really loves you,thins will work themselves out.A long distance relationship is possible but difficult.There will be many sacrifices and challenges that both of you would face. Moving back to be with her is a big step, think about it in the long run, do you think you're going to spend the rest of your life with her,if you know that for a fact then moving back is good. think about the pro's and con's of a long distance relationship and weigh it against the pro's and con's of moving back. Good luck!!! I hope things work out for you.:)


so theres this guy that i like, but he has a girlfriend. well, we talk everynight and he tells me how he wants me and how he doesn't like the other girl. well , we have talked a lot about doing stuff with each other. so i just wanted to get an honest opinion on what people feel about this .. and he says he would date me if he wasn't taken so what are some ways i can step up my game a little ?? thankss. (link)
Dont step up the game at all.He has a girlfriend, so what he is doing is unfaithful and dishonest. Stop talking to him like that, talk to him like a friend. If he really wanted you and wanted to be with you,he would leave his girlfriend. Guys do stupid things sometimes and think about how the girl would feel if she found out. And do you really want to be with a guy that basically cheating on hi girlfriend with you, who is to say he wont do the same thing to you if you were to go out with him. Do the right thing...Find a single guy.


I have been married for 5 years, and for the past 10 months have been having an affair with a man from work. I love my husband, but I know that if I tell him the truth, we will be over. My husband is very good to me. The affair is now over. I have been feeling guilty and depressed, and I don't know if I should tell my husband. I also think there is a possibility that I might do this again, and I can't explain why. What should I do? Tell him, and try to move on, or move on myself, and try to spare our relationship? (link)
well firstly,i;m happy that the affair is over. the guilt and derpression is caused by the fact that you are being dishonest with your husband. You said that he is very good to you and that you love him, don't you think that you owe it to him to be honest with him? I think that you should tell your husband and if it causes your marriage to be over, well then so be it because as you said there is the possibility that you might do it again,your husband does not deserve that.i know you may think i am being harsh, but think abot your husband would feel.If you know that you will NEVER be unfaithful again, you should still tell him but try and work it out. I hope you do the right thing.Good luck !!!


Ive seen him in school. His name is Christian. I dont have him in any of my classes, except SAI which i only have every 3 weeks. We talk on myspace alot. He told me to talk to him FACE TO FACE at school. Is it still to early to tell???? (link)
first of all just talk to the guy. if he told you to talk to him it means he wants you to talk to him so just do it. when u do talk to him face to face you will be albe to read him better and then just take things from there.
good luck!!!


well i really like this guy and he really likes me b ack but i cant date him till next year. He has a girlfriend who he is always around so i can never talk to him. Plus, on myspace and msn his name is like I love her so much talking about his girlfriend and it says like i really hope we stay together for a long time, so what is up with him? what do i do? (link)
stop!!! he has a girlfriend.How do you that he actually likes you? If he has been flirting with you or whatever,guys do that with no meaning to it. And if he flirts with you and he has a girlfriend,he is wrong.he shudnt be doing that. So ignore him,look for a single guy,move on,maybe you'd find someone better,who u can date now. good luck!!!


Okay, well, I like my friend. Like, as more than a friend. I didn't figure it out until maybe a week ago. Like, we've been friends for about 4 years now. We're not exceptionally close though. Although, our parents are friends.
I never felt that he liked me like that until Monday. Usually, I'm the one who always talks to him first at school. But now, he's always hanging around me. Like in gym, he'll come up and talk to me, instead of the other way around.
And before first period, he comes up and talks to me, or just says hi. He never did that before, except for maybe once or twice. And during lunch everyday, I'm always in the hall with my friend, Lindsay and then when he's done eating he'll come into the hall and talk to me, instead of go hang out with his friend, Matt.
I don't know, I might be getting ahead of myself. Or be jumping to conclusions.
And the main problem is, I don't want to tell him I like him, because, well, what if I'm wrong about him liking me and I get turned down and it makes things awkward between us?
And also, he's never had a girlfriend before. But then again, I've never really had a serious boyfriend.
And my friend Hannah is going to talk to him (without mentioning names).
Also, I think my other friend, Autumn, likes him. And I don't want to do that to her. I mean, I don't even date my friends' ex's. I asked her over the internet if she liked him, and she said she didn't know.
So, does it seem like he likes me? And how do I go about asking him out? Or telling him I like him, especially without hurting Autumn.
(link)
well honestly it seems like yall have a good thing going being just friends...think about it telling him you like him can make things really awkward and cud possibly ruin your friendship with him.guys are really strange when it comes to showing their feelings.have you ever seen how he has acted around girls that he likes?if he is acting that same way with you,maybe you cud risk it.think about it b4 you do anything.follow your heart but be careful.i hope things turn out well for you. goood luck!!!
