I was on Xbox and I met this random guy. He asked me for a picture of me, and I said no. Later, I told him I had to go and he said "Why do you have to go? It's only 3 where you are". Do you think he tracked me or something? Oh, and I deleted him and blocked him by the way. (link)



Sounds like a creep

It's truly amazing how many people target xbox live to track down innocent kids. In fact it has become a pretty popular place over the years for twisted people to prey upon.

Anyone who acts creepy should be blocked and kept blocked!





14/f

I havent seen my best guy friend in over 5 months...
and last week i saw him for the first time again. I came to visit our old school(i trnsfered)
he literally ran to me and screamed my name. He ran so fast that when he hugged me we both fell on the floor. Then we got up.
"Omg i missed you so much. Howve you been? You look different."
Then we gave me a better hug when we got up and it was ssoooooo tight and big and it lasted for 10seconds.
anyways. He started playing with my hand. And he an di had the biggest smile we had ever seen on each others faces.He asked me if i made a new guy friend at my new school and i saw yes. Suddnely when i said that his smile disappeared and said "oh ive been replaced...."
And dropped my hand and walked away to his class.


What happened? Whats wrong? Was it something that i said?

Maybe he was jealous but why?
And i have to admit...
He has gotten very attractive.


But back to the point.... why did he just walk away?
I mean we havent seen or heard from each other in a while so why walk away like that.... :\

It is odd seeing you both haven't spoke in awhile but it sounds like he has feelings for you. Maybe you should try keeping in touch with him? He obviously cares.


okay so i am 15/f. sorry my story is LONG.

my bf and i had a very long fight 4 about 5 months. at first he stopped talking to me completely . he used to look at me in school. but whenever he had eye contact he used to pull his eyes away from me . i tried to talk but he kept away all the time. when i used to ask his friends where he is they always came up with an answer that he was in his football or basketball or he was just simply busy.

So that evening it was quite late , around 9 p.m. when i was returning home from my coaching. and i spotted him with MY CLASSMATE in the park in the shadow of a tree, quite close. i stopped to look and he suddenly saw me but , he didnot move away from her. i ran back home crying.


i was so depressed . i feel ill. when he could not spot me in school he came over to my house. i was unconscious and i woke up with his kiss on my lips.he said he was sorry and he wanted me back. i was so happy that i didnot want to bring that evening up and spoil the happiness.

so we got back to normal and, he made love to me. he even licked and fingered me and made me orgasm. we became tooo close and he said he loved me all the time.


but yesterday when he was making love to me, that girl came over to his home . so when he was busy talking to her in the hall i checked his cell. there were some texts like..."when can we meet?"...i am waiting...i want you so close ....are you busy tonight etc.

i dont want to think he is cheating me because he has made love to me and ... somehow i am connected to him from my body and soul. can any one tell me what is up with him?he has never brought up her name in front of me. am i overthinking? (link)


Sorry to break it to you, He has feelings for someone eles.


Ok so I was at a grocery store and I had my hood on. An employee was like "Can I help you with something, sir?" And I turned around and he said "*Ahem* Ma'am. Sorry, I'm just tired".

I'm starting to think I look like a guy.. I had my hood on, but I have long-ish hair and it showed. I'm not really "grown" yet, so.. I'm a teen (Late bloomer.. Haha). Do you think he was really tired or he thought I was a guy? (link)



You are over thinking it


I am sure he meant nothing by it, I wear hoodies all the time and I have been called sir a few times. Who cares?... It was an accident!


hi, i am searching the internet for help and thought i would at least let someone know what is going on in my life. i am 54 years old. my twin sister has mismanaged money left to us by my mother. she is now going to try to have me evicted from a home we own together based on any excuse she can find. i believe she is bipolar or schizophrenic. all of this started when she got married 12 yrs ago to a very narcissistic man. they have depleted my sisters and mines money instead of leaving it invested to draw interest to support 2 properties in our estate. they also took out a home equity loan which they need to get rid of in their lives. she is beyond manic. she visits me and destroys my life. she will not stay away. she is threatening to evict me and my 3 dogs if i do not sell the house. and she will start court proceedings and knows i have no money for an attorney. it is such a mess. overwhelming. i am so sad all day everyday and there is no reasoning with her. it has been one bad financial decision after another so she and her husband can live a lifestyle. she is on the edge and trying to give me her problems again. she is irrational. i cannot overstate this. she blames me for everything and i have had nothing to do with anything. my life is so off track. i am going thru my own menopause issues and i havent been well due to extreme anxiety and overwhelming depression. she knows that yet she keeps piling it on. she is the victim of mind control. others claim it she is the real deal. her husband is a phd and teaches or taught psychological warfare techniques in the military. he has complete control of her mind and can get her to do anything even destroy what took decades to accomplish. it is so overwhelming. i feel so alone in this world. i do have a friend who helps me as much as he can. i don't know what to do. i need to talk to someone about what to do. she will be visiting in a couple of weeks and will scream and rant at me. i dont want her here. i have told her we need to talk to a 3rd party but she will not do it. we are in crisis. i am so afraid for the future. please write back asap. i don't know where to turn. (link)

Sometimes when we wabt to help ourselves we have to do what's best. If your sister is causing you misery then you will have to tell her she is no longer welcome at your house as long as she continues to cause problems. You may need to file a harassment complaint against her or have a restraining order placed on her and her husband.

Next, You get yourself into counseling where they can help you with depression and anxiety. Sometimes we have to cut people off in order to focus on our lives. The next time she visits tell her she is no longer welcome and to leave the property or the police will be called.


There's not much more to my question than what's in the title. My sister is getting married in June of 2014 and I'm thinking I might get married around that time as well. Like in August maybe. There's a reason why it may be important that I get married by that time, but I'm worried that people will think I just did it to steal my sister's thunder. Also, it's my dream to get married married in this church at the Grand Canyon, which I'm afraid people will think of as a real thunder stealing attempt. Also, I'd kind of like my own thunder. I don't get much at all. I got a tooth infection in February that was so bad I had to go to the emergency room and I liked it because it got me some attention. It's not a good enough reason to not get married when I plan to, but still. What do you think my sister and family will say? (link)


From an outsiders point of view, This is a bit shallow.

From what you have wrote about liking the attention from a tooth infection, You imply your seeking the same attention by planning a wedding. If your sister is getting married in June 2014 I would think it'd be right to at least wait a bit.

Why would you want to plan so close to her wedding? Why are you so eagar to seek yourself attention by planning two months apart?

Maybe you have a more valid reason, either way if it's for seeking attention then you have the wrong idea here. You're time will come but to seek it so desperately gives wrong vibes.


my 21 year old sister has to go to jail for a year for a hit and run while driving under influence. She has to go next week. She told me she is going to run away so she doesn't have to go. This seems silly to me because I don't know where she will go but it looks like she might be serious. What can I say to talk her out of it, also should I tell someone? I am close to her and don't want to betray her you know. If I tell them what could they do?
(link)

Yes you should tell someone. Running away to avoid court can lead to a warrant for her arrest. Therefore she will actually end up getting into more trouble then if she went and faced her problems. Running away is digging herself a deep hole, It's not a smart move. You need to tell someone


13/F

So I'm in 7th, and I like this guy that's in 8th grade. He's so adorable and really nice, but school is ending in 2 weeks. He'll be going to high school and I won't be able to see him for a year - PLUS there will be a bunch of new girls there. What do I do? I really like him. I don't know him. He's smiled at me walking through the halls and stuff, but that's pretty much it. He's like all I think about... What do I do? (link)

To be honest?

High school is a whole new world compared to middle school. Even if you both did date exactly how long do you expect it too last? You both will be in different schools, he will meet new people and so are you. You can like him, but realisticly it won't work.


I'm 18 years old, and I work part-time after school. A few months ago, this new guy came in. He's a bit older than I am, and really funny and very cute, and I immediately took a liking to him.

I didn't think he'd ever be interested, but we started talking and he's asked to hook up. I have a few concerns;
1. He's in his 20s, and I feel like hooking up to him is sex. I don't feel comfortable going all the way with someone that I'm not even dating.
2. I like his personality, and I worry that getting physically intimate will cause me to develop feelings for him.
3. I gained a lot of weight recently. I'm just barely overweight, and you can't really tell how big I am in clothes. If I were to take anything off, I'm sure he'd notice some... trouble areas...

So, what should I do?

Thanks :) (link)

Why does everything have to be about sex? Just get to know him and take it slow. See if he is into YOU, not your body. "hooking up" a lot of times can mean sex yes, but do you really just want to be his booty call? Take it slow, Be his friend for awhile and get to know each other.


i am 18 year old boy . my gf is 17. i love her immensely and i have promised to marry her once i am financially strong.however every time i want to touch her , hold her hand or kiss her...she pushes me back and turns away.she does not even talk about sex!! when i asked she says that she loves me and she wants closeness but she is SHY??...i really love her a lot and it is 4 years now , and i want to make love to her. i can figure it out that she wants it too , i have gone through her diary secretly but she says that she is too shy to let me touch her private parts or kiss her??? however she agreed to make love soon. guys please give clues on how to approach to her once we are in bed so that she feels comfortable and it is easy for her to come out of her shyness. and also can anyone explain to me this psychology of girls??? (link)

She may be feeling insecure about herself rather then being shy. On the other hand reading what you wrote, It sounda like you are disrespecting how she feels. Clearly she is just not ready or comfortable. You are pressuring her, You are invading her privacy and you will eventually draw her away from you.

What is so hard to understand? She isn't comfortable with sex.

Respect her or find someone who wants the same thing.


Hi, so I have an Instagram. Recently, I was talking to this girl then a random girl just said I was bothering her.

We got into a conversation, then she said she'd hack me from her family. She also said they'd hurt me. When I ask her what she meant, she said they'd find me, get my number from the cops, etc.

I'm scared. What do I do?! She hacked my friend before. I'm so scared! (link)


Sounds like someone you need to stop talking too and block. I wouldn't take her threats too seriously as if she has no proof she is just making an ass out of herself. She's just drama


I have been planning this for a while but there is just one problem... I dont know how to do it quick and permanet...If your lost then what im trying to say is ... I want to kill myself today and I need a suggestion on how to kill myself quick and permanet. (link)


None of us here are not going to give you the answers you are looking for.

Please seek professional help.


My boyfriend and I had been dating pretty seriously for seven months or so; we are grad students, and in the stress of the end of the semester, he got very cranky for a few days and then said he wanted to take a break, and that he wasn't sure if he wanted to be together; but before the end of that conversation, he was crying and trying to take it back. We are in our 20s but he is a couple years younger than me, which caused some internal frustration for me sometimes (me wanting to settle down soon, him not even thinking about marriage yet etc). Anyway, I felt so very hurt after he said those things that I couldn't give him an answer about being back together or not. It has been a few weeks, and I suppose we are "seeing" each other. We were best friends, so it feels natural. The thing is, randomly enough, I seemed to have lost my feelings for him in the weeks since the break-talk (I have been crazy about him before this). So confused, any thoughts? (link)


In my opinion a break is a temporary and can sometimes be a breakup.

A break is hurtful, It is even more hurtful when we are caught off guard by it.

You took a break, You lost your sense of security in the relationship and it pulled you away from him.

A breakup can either make two people stronger or, Tear them apart.

You mentioned he is a few years younger which leads me to believe he is a bit immature. Perhaps you have learned he is not right for you. Sometimes a break can make one realize their true feelings.


So i asked this girl out and she said yes, it was kinda awkward at the beginning at it still kinda is. She acted nervous around me, and told her friends that she liked me, even her best-friend.
But today i found out from one of my friends that she said yes not to hurt my feelings! Was this just a fake? Could it be that she wanted to end the awkwardness by saying she doesnt like me? (link)

Don't always believe what other people tell you. This is the best way to ruin a relationship. If it didn't come directly from her, Then it's nothing but gossip.


Hii
i was into a relationship frm last 4 yrs.. N v broked up few mnths back.. V had sex on a normal basis..Now i gotta new guy n he thinks that m virgin.. Can anyone pls suggest me how to show d fake virginity..
Thnx (link)


Why lie? Isn't the whole point of a relationship to be honest with one another? Tell him the truth or don't be in a relationship.


26 y/o female.
In the fall, I went in for a job interview at a local store. I instantly felt attracted to the guy giving me the interview. I passed it, but had to turn the job down for reasons not worth mentioning.
A week later, he "followed" me on Facebook. I wasn't sure what his reasoning behind it was, but I decided to add him as a friend. We didn't speak to each other whatsoever, but I always hoped that somehow he'd get a hold of me first.
It never happened, and in the spring, I saw that he took me off his friend's list. Was I annoying? Did he delete me so only his close friends were on his list? It's killing me. I wish I had closure, but I find the idea of outright asking him to be hard. It's been almost two months since he's taken me off, and I can't stop thinking about it. I've even had dreams with him in it. I'm also rarely rejected by guys so I'm not sure if my ego is bruised or I really do just have a major crush on this guy. Either way, I'm tired of thinking about it! (link)


You both had no communication so naturally he deleted you. Some people just don't like mutes sitting on their friends list. I am the same way, If someone doesn't talk to me then eventually I remove that person.


So I went to washington Dc with my mom for a political convention. It was three days. The first day we were there my phone fell in the toilet. I had no way of contacting my boyfriend because my mom doesn't have a phone and our schedule was packed tightly. The only thing I thought of was to email him or try using a computer texting app. I texted him to tell him what was going on that same day so he wouldn't freak out. He ignored all texts and emails. I got back and called him and he said he doesn't want us to be together anymore because he doesn't trust me because I ignored him for three days. I don't know how to feel about the situation. what do you guys think about the situation. (link)


Sometimes in situations like this we learn our fate. Unfortunately, he has jealousy and trust issues. It is sad that it took for this to happen for him to show his true colors yet how much he really cares about the relationship.

You deserve better, You could try to explain to him what happened but if he continues to act immature then it may be time to move on.


I have this issue with my step-brother and it's kinda complicated. Basically, when we met at the ages of 7 (me) and 9 (him) we hated each other. Then as we got older we became friends. Then when I was 14 and he was 16 our relationship changed as we became more touchy feely, so fights which used to be all about injuring each other just became about having fun Then we started cuddling during said fights, if we got tired. It's not like we grew up together since I only saw him every couple of weekends when I would visit my dad. So when I was 14 I had this huge crush on him and I thought that maybe he liked me back, since the way we would treat each other was definitely not one I would treat my siblings in and I'm certain he wouldn't treat them in the saw way either. However he got a girlfriend so I backed off. He later found out I liked him but he was totally cool with it. He said he'd still do anything for me and that it didn't change anything. Then in February this year, when I was 16 and was 18, he and his girlfriend of 1 1/2 years split and he and I got really close again. We'd talk on Facebook a lot but then he started making really suggestive comments and hinting about kissing me. In March whilst at my Dad's house he and I ended up hanging out together. He began teasing me that I wanted him, and then I went off on a rant about how I didn't. Mid-rant he kissed me. He was my first kiss and he knew that too. I know at 16 maybe that's kinda lame that I've never been kissed but I was waiting for the right guy and then he kissed me which is so messed up. At the time he said that it meant nothing and that it was only to prove a point, but then after that every Sunday when I would visit my dad, me and my step-brother would end up hooking up, each time going further and further (last weekend we go to third base). It was totally different to the other times as when he touched me face to bring me in to kiss him his hand was shaking, he told me he missed me, there was no fighting before hand when there usually is, he'd kiss my cheek while we would just be cuddling, after he'd 'gone down on me' he kept worrying about whether I was okay or not, he even started eskimo kissing me at one point... but now it's really complicated because feelings aren't supposed to be involved but I think maybe they are :/ which once again, is so messed up
because it was just supposed to be for fun. I wasn't supposed to end up having feelings for him. He's my step-brother, none of this was ever supposed to happen. My friends know about it and they're all encouraging of it. And my family on my mom's side know I used to have a crush on him and they were okay with it then. However I highly doubt he has feelings for me, and if he did it's not like it could go anyway. On the one hand I don't want this thing to stop because I enjoy it but on the other hand I know that if it continues my feelings will just get stronger, we'll end up having sex and ultimately I will be the one who ends up hurt. So my questions are; Is any of this okay? What do I do now? Do you think he has feelings for me? How do I go about doing whatever it is I'm supposed to do next? (link)

This behaviour is inappropriate

Although you may not be blood related, You both are step aiblings and family. This would be viewed as an embarrassment towards many families if they found out their kids are having relations with family.

Stop, know your boundaries. Yes this is unacceptable. He is your step brother. No, next time he makes a move tell him it's not happening and it's inappropriate.

I have step siblings too and never in a million years would I think to date one of them. I grew up with them, They're parebt is my step patent. It is wrong


im 12 and my boyfrienis 12, ive been with him about 4 months now but i have a secret... when we r alone he touches me and i feel uncomfortable. i move away or tell him to stop but he just hurts me, so ive learnt to just let him do what he wants and noone gets hurt, i cant tell any of my family because they wont be able to imagine their little girl going through this, im not sure if he thinks this is ok or not! he lives in care so maybe thats why but i know he should stop when i tell him! he touches my boobs,bum,my Vagina. he always talks about sex and everything so i dont know what to do, i really need someone to talk to or give me advice. (link)


Dump him

He is abusing you, When someone says no then that means no. You told him to stop, he continues, He is sexually abusing you. This is not okay and you NEED to tell someone. NEVER allow someone to abuse you, You are not an object. Stand your ground and tell an adult!


F/high school age
my boyfriend lives in another country (4212 miles away). we've been together almost 3 months, we Skype everyday, and obviously we are an online relationship. i KNOW hes my soul mate.
..my mother is a strict christian lady and she has told me multiple times "no talking to strangers online" (as if i was 13!!) she always talks to me about molesters and men whom rape and hurt young woman and they draw them in through the internet,she asumes any guy on the internet is there to hurt girls (or something)
i know that if she met him she would love him,... but what do i say? how? shes a very loving person and she trusts me... but no guys on the internet... i know im in over my head, but if i didn't want to spend the rest of my life with this boy i wouldn't worry about telling her...
Well thank you for any help or advise you might have (link)


Well, You probably don't want to hear this but I agree with Mom.

I truly believe you are not in love with him, You are in love with the thought of him. You cannot love someone you never met. On the other hand, People lie and pretend on the internet and while he may indeed be a person he says he is, Online relationships are a fantasy. Online relationships are not the real thing. You think he is your soul mate but you are hung up on the attention and are head over heels with knowing someone is giving you attention.

Let's be realistic, He is thousands of miles away. This man is a fantasy, The relationship is not real.
