Im way above of a decent nice guy but thanks to low self esteem due to school work its influenced my confidence. I want to take a girl out to her matric dance but shes refering to how much of a kwl buddy i am. Is there some thing wrong i am doing wrong (link)
Look at your self in the mirror and ask your self the same question that you just asked. If you can't find anything wrong, then there's really no need to question yourself. Okay so your work ethic hasn't been that great, but no one is perfect. You be you and don't let anyone change that. Always speak highly of yourself no matter what. Try this: Every morning when you wake up Thank God then go to a mirror and tell yourself how much you love you, and how great of a person you are. Keep your head high. There's nothing wrong with being a little consedent sometimes.


Hey. So I'm sixteen, female. And this guy is eighteen. So basically, for two years I've been in love with the kid. He's been my best friend since freshman year (his sophomore year) and I never told him how I felt because I didn't want to lose our friendship. So we both dated other people but remained really really close. The only time we had an issue was when he started dating this one girl and he started ignoring me for her. And it really hurt. He realized what he was doing and he apologized. He told me there was no excuse for what he did and that he'd never do it again. This year, my junior year his senior year, we were both single and we started hooking up. And it went on for about six months... I knew it was a bad idea but I thought that maybe he was starting to fall for me. This kid was my best friend. We talked every single day, and he knows everything about me. But, yesterday he told me he wants to be "normal friends". I thought he just meant no longer hooking up and that was fine but then he told me he didn't even want to talk to me as much. I was shocked. until I found out he had been seeing that one girl he used to date, the one he ignored me for. we'll call her May.I told him I just had one question for him. I asked him, "why was I never good enough? What did I do wrong? I never want to be in this kind of situation again, so tell me, why am I not like May? Why have you never thought of me like that?" and he said to me, exact words: "You're not like May because I feel different around you than I do around her. Don't get me wrong you're a beautiful girl, I love hooking up with you.. but you're for fun. I feel something for her." and even though I asked him, and I wanted the truth, that truth really hurt. Now, I never wanted a relationship with this kid. He was never the only guy I was talking to, or the only guy I was hooking up with but he was always my favorite. If he ever asked me to be exclusive I would have done it for him. Now he's just a dick. I don't know what to do. I'm just really hurt and I don't know how to move on. This boy has meant so much to me for three years and I'm figuring out that I meant nothing to him. I went to every single one of his football and basketball games, I cried at his graduation. I've told him things I've never told anyone else. He punched my ex when my ex slapped me. I know I have to move on because he doesn't want me anymore and he's going to college soon anyone so we would have drifted apart but its so hard and I just don't know how to be someone that he misses. I know I messed some stuff up. I should have told him how I felt a long time ago. I shouldn't have hooked up with him. I should of done a lot of things but now I just want to know how to move on. Please help... (link)
Moving on won't be easy, but It'll sure be worth it. You'll have to gradually let him go simply because you got too deep in without really knowing how he felt about you.Now that you know how he really feels, you shouldn't really feel bad about letting him go. Sure its hard, but look at it as spilled milk. All you need is a good mop and maybe a few towels and its gone. You can totally do it sweetheart!! Much luck to you, and be strong.


When a man is infertile, I know that what happens is he either doesn't have enough sperm or the sperm that he does have "doesn't work". Right? Please, correct me if I'm wrong. But what I want to make sure that I understand is what happens inside of his body, like the scientific form of an answer. If anyone out there knows, please feel free to help.

Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer! (link)
Infertility in men is most often caused by:
A problem called varicocele (VAIR-ih-koh-seel). This happens when the veins on a man's testicle(s) are too large. This heats the testicles. The heat can affect the number or shape of the sperm.
Other factors that cause a man to make too few sperm or none at all.
Movement of the sperm. This may be caused by the shape of the sperm. Sometimes injuries or other damage to the reproductive system block the sperm.

Sometimes a man is born with the problems that affect his sperm. Other times problems start later in life due to illness or injury. For example, cystic fibrosis often causes infertility in men

I've been going through a ton of stress for the past week (and will be for the next two weeks) due to the fact that my teachers thought it would be appropriate to assign major projects all due this week right before final exams. So, I've been stressing out lately, and last week I worked for about five hours a day to try to make a dent in all of these stupid projects I have. Anyway, I worked a ton last week, and then over the weekend I hung out with some friends (a normal thing for a teenager to do) and relaxed to try to de-stress myself. Well, whenever I relax my mom always gets mad at me and says I should be doing my homework. Then she goes on about how she never sees me work and all I do is lay around and listen to music. Whoa whoa whoa. Not the case AT ALL. I do my homework, then to relax (I'm very introverted) I listen to music. However, whenever I go upstairs to do my homework my mom assumes I'm goofing off, even though I tell her otherwise.

So I worked some this weekend, but not a ton because I wanted to relax. Today after school I was telling my mom how stressed out I was from all this work, but instead of being the reassuring motherly figure you always hear about in books and stuff, she yelled at me about how I never work and I need to stop complaining because I don't work. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! That's what drives me crazy!!! And when I tell her this, she gets mad at me for "fighting everything she says."

So today after school, to prove to my mom that I work a lot, I came home and did five and a half hours of homework straight. Guess what? She yelled at me for "managing my time horribly." Then tonight she said to me "if you want to go to a bad college, that's okay!" and then she called into my brother "congrats on your straight A's, love you!" Well I am very stressed out right now, so what she said actually hurt me. I don't know what to do or what to say to her. Her comments about my work ethic are bothering me, and I feel like she gets mad at me no matter what I do. She's making me feel really stupid and she's adding unnecessary stress to my already stressed out state of being. (link)
I'm pretty sure that your mother doesn't mean to add on to your stress. She sees more potential in you and knows that you can do better. She expects for you to suceed and her way of showing it is being hard on you. Show appreciation for her concern for you to do and be better, but at the same time try to explain to her how you feel (in the nicest way)even if you have to write her a letter just for her to listen to you. Stay encouraged and keep your head up. Good luck...


19/f. About four months ago my first love and I broke up after he confessed that he cheated on me. We were not together for a very long amount of time, but the feelings I had for him were both very real and very strong. For a few months after that, I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. A few weeks ago we had a very long chat, and the memories of the great times we had together came back and washed away any bitterness I might have felt towards him. Since then all I can think about is trying to get back together with him when we are both back at school. I just feel so silly. I know he's moved on and I should too, but I also just want to be with him again. What do I do? (link)
YOu should reexamine him and you. See if he's changed for the better! If he did it once then there's no second guessing that he wouldn't do it again UNLESS he really loves you. He was your first love, and its very hard to get over the first person you ever give your heart to. Talk it out with him and just be friends. Take it slow first. Good luck Sweetie..


I have been in a relationship for four and a half years now with a wonderful, handsome, loving, huge hearted man who I love more than anything and plan to marry. My dad doesn't take the relationship seriously and my aunt told me about some negative things my mom told her about him. My dad tells people that he used to worry about me and my sister getting married too young, but we'd have to find somebody to marry first, so he won't have to worry for a while. It makes me feel bad because not only is he saying he doesn't have faith in my relationship, but he's making other people think the same way. I plan to get married before my sister who is 20 months older than me, but my dad tells people that at one wedding, when the father had to give the bride away, he almost started crying thinking about when he'd have to give my sister away, expecting that she'll get married first. That says to me that not only does he have little faith in my relationship, but that he won't be ready for me to get married when I do. I'm worried that when I tell my parents I'm engaged, they'll be unhappy and talk negatively to people, or that they'll do or say something that hurts my feelings. (link)
Let me start by saying congrats on the engagement. Love is so beautiful. If you try to show your parents how much you both love each other and how great your fiance is then that should tip the scale to your favor. But, of course its usually never that simple. Show them how mature and grown up you are and give it to them straight that you love him and he loves you and he's the air you breathe so, them running him away is like suffocatting there daughter. Good luck, and I really hope that all goes well!!!

(link)
There's three main things that a man should always know and never forget: Your name, birthday, and anniversary. If you gave him what he wanted easily, then he probably sees you as the "go to" girl. Meaning, when he calls you for it, he knows that you'll give it to him no questions asked. If you really love him and can see yourself with him then ask him how he feels about you. If he can look you directly in the eyes and not look away or grin sneakingly, then you'll know whether to move on and stop wasting your time. Much luck to you.


i dont wanna live becz there is no use of living at first i was having good relationship with god but now i think i don't have a good one and today morning i read a word from the passage that say that when Jesus asked peter that do u really love me then feed my sheep and again he ask peter do u really love me then guide my sheep and i now think that i dont love god bcz i m not feeding my sheep and i all down upset i sont know what to do in future and all sort of confusion is there and i m just dieing to get things right first i used to habdle the whole yoouth church but as is see my future to become a rapper and singer i left all that church thing behind and started to disregard all the work of youth church bcz i think that wrong thing to do bcz at last im going to be rapper and these two different personality and im having many problems in my life and i cant take this all thing any more i jst wanna die and not live bcz i cant leave god and i cant leave my future as a rapper bcz i wanna prove myself and all the frnds of my are filled with attitude and they think im small and i cant to do anything and i jst wana die hlp me please before all this is over thanxs and pls send me your regards on as i dont know how to check the answer from this site yagnesh.singh@yahoo.in pls do thi for me i jst want to know the last regards from you (link)
Hi sweetie,
First off, dont ever let yourself or your "so-called friends" get youdown to a point where you'd rather die than to live another second. You are so capable of doing anything that you put your mind to. Start putting God first before everything and watch how he'll shake some things loose for you. Being a rapper isnta bad thing. It's what the rappers say and do that makes it bad. Go for your dreams, and just know that if you got one person that thinks that their better than you then you just have one more reason to give it your all. Best of luck to you. And God Bless.


Okay...so...I've known this guy for a few months now...he's everything that I want in a guy...and he's always very very flirty with me, and we just goof around and laugh and have fun and then we have deep, meaningful discussions about life and important things...this would be what I would call the perfect time for me to move in and see if he wants to take our relationship to the next step....

But he has a girlfriend already...I already feel ashamed of myself enough that I have thoughts of not wanting to respect the "he's taken" zone...this girl is nice, and we've spoken briefly a few times, and despite any of that, I don't ever want to hurt ANYBODY or be the cause of someone getting hurt...

She already perceives me as a threat according to him, and he even confronted me (very kindly) about how I feel about him, to which I admitted that I am deeply attracted to him, but that my intentions are noble. And they are. Despite feeling "twitterpated" about him and feeling all these emotions, the last thing I want to do is be the cause of a breakup or someone's pain...but he's hinted at me that their relationship has been going through some rough times...and all relationships do at some point or another, but it's almost as if he's on the fence with her...he does genuinely act like he's interested in me too....

I just got done hanging out with him, and I feel like crap. I feel bummed that I am not with him anymore today, and I feel horrendously guilty for wanting him to myself when he's already somebody's....guilty for even thinking about them possibly breaking up...

I know that SOME aspects of this are out of my control, but for the things that I CAN be in control of, how do I deal with this? What can I do so I don't unintentionally fuck somebody's life up, including my own? (link)
First off, you shouldn't feel bad about the way you feel. Your heart knows what it wants and you can't really fight it, but seeing that he is already in a relationship I really think that you should just hang back and let nature take its course with their relationship. Keep hanging out with him, and if its meant to be, then its bound to happen. Good luck sweetie.

so im in spanish class with this cute boy, and he is always complamenting me, once when i said a girl in a magazine is kinda pretty(not a lesbian just my opinion) he just laughed and said that i was prettier than her. he walks me to class sometimes and now im always looking forward to seeing him everyday. a few days ago i heard that he broke up with his gf, and his friend said he did it so he could ask me out. its been about 5 days and now im noticing that he is looking down my shirt, what should i do about that anyway?

do you people thinks that he likes me or am i just imagining it?

any advise is very thankful!! :) (link)
If you think that he likes you, then ask him the color of your eyes and if he's really that "into you" he'll be able to answer it. As far as him lookin down your shirt, he's a teenage boy experimenting with life. If you really like him and you think that he likes you then go for the gold sweetie.
