16/f bf 16/m
me and my boyfriend of 8 months just broke up last week. yeah we were in love. he said the reasons we broke up were because we fight too much and that hes at the point where he doesnt want to be in a relationship with me anymore because its stressing both of us out. but he said he still loved me and wanted me to always be in his life. he also said it was going to be hard for him to get over me. so we ended with that and talked the whole next week of spring break. things seemed to be going good as friends n stuff like he even said that i was the only person he trusted and that he didnt need anyone else. but then we got back to school n everthing crashed down. hes always been a flirt even when we were dating and before he was the biggest player in school. all the girls are in love with him and were so happy when they somehow found that we broke up. well me, my ex and this one girl he always used to hook up with are all in the same class. when we got back to school my ex didnt say anything to me. he had said that he wanted space when we broke up but we had still been texting n stuff so i didnt get why he was ignoring me. but i gave him space. it ticked me off that he was ignoring me but i wasnt going to let it get to me. HOWEVER, everytime i looked at him and this girl they were ALL OVER eachother. it looked like they were having sex with their clothes on practically. this made me SOOOOOOOO angry and i wanted to go punch her. plus me and this girl are friends. not best friends but still friends. then i heard him saying stuff to her like stay after school with me. and after school they both walked together with his arm around her to the staircase which is where he would always take me to make out and stuff because no one ever goes there. i was so angry and jealous and annoyed. i really couldnt believe it, it seemed like he didnt care about me one bit and yet i love him so much. i think if he had any respect for me at all he wouldnt do that or at least not in front of me. but maybe i am just iver reacting. i mean we are broken up i guess. but still, i could never even think about doing anyhting with another guy for a long time. its going to take me a while before i get over him because he meant the world to me. so i dont know how he could just go and be ready to hook up with everyone the next week. i just dont know why hes doing this or what to think. please help

Im not exactly positive as to what the advice you need is... but the thing you must do is obvious; MOVE ON. YOu dont want him back... do you?
He is LYING to you. And since you are not dating anymore... he doesnt see you as worth telling the truth to...
True, it hurts. But if you ignore him... things will get better for you. Just work on yourself. Conquer a bad habit, excercise, get involved... do GOOD things that make you feel good. If you FEEL good, you LOOK good. Just be the best person you can. And WHEN he comes crawling back to you asking for forgiveness.... DONT take him back. Improving of oneself is not only a confidence booster, but its a way to payback all those who did you wrong. You can look at him in 5 years with his beer belly holding hands with the girl he constantly cheats on, and him living is sorry,pitiful, and pathetic life and feel SO glad that you moved on, OR you can be the girl he always mistreats and cheats on that is holding his hand. The best thing about breakups is that a lot of people learn more from than the breakup than the actual relationship.
He doesnt deserve a girl like you anyways. Any slimeball that lies to a girl that has been good to him isnt worth it. TRUST me, better things are coming your way... TRUE and REAL things. So dont waste time on those things that are temporary and fake.
Hope i helped some.

So I've known my friend Chris for almost 5 years now and we've become pretty much best friends. But I've been in love with him since I met him.. And I know he feels the same, but he won't do anything about it. Like we'll be driving in his car to get our friends, and he'll just reach over and grab my hand like it's no big deal but as soon as our friends get in the car, he lets go. Do you think he could be embarrassed of me or something? Because when we're alone, he's lovey dovey and huggy and acts like he wants to be with me but then around friends and at school most of the time he's totally different. Should I pursue something with him or let it go cuz it'll never happen? Please help me! :/

Well it appears that he IS attracted to you. However, he may be afraid to make the next step and jepordize the friendship OR he could be "testing the waters" to decide if he wants to pursue a relationship with you beyond friendship. If I were you I would just straight up ask him- Where is this going? Its the most upfront way to get your answer and a lot of guys find a girl that is straightfoward as intruguing or attractive. If he says he likes you just a friend, then its ok. Dont act upset or anything. Just say "ok." That will puzzle him more. The trick to winning over a guy is to be nonchalant and beat him to the chase. With you asking HIM, it shows you are curious but that you are able to handle a rejection. Most girls wont ask if they think it will be a negative answer. SO by asking, you are already setting yourself apart from the others.
Hope I helped some! =]

All my friends have a crush on my boyfriend.Basically my best friend! She already promise that when me and him broke up she would date him.I AM SO PISSED OFF AT HER!!!! She a freak (like a wierdo)like shes puts eyeshadow on her lips.She is trying to break us up by saying lies to us about the other.She even told him I was datin him for a joke!He didnt believe her (I think).she calls him every day!!!What should i do!!!

Honey, this is obvious. She is NOT your friend. If she WAS your friend, she wouldnt be treating you like this. I have been in the situation where I had a crush on a friend's boyfriend; BUT i didnt want THAT to come in the middle of our friendship. I valued the friendship with HER than with some guy. She is willing to give up your friendship for a guy. Thats just the truth. Instead of feeling happy for you that you have a boyfriend that you really like, she is envious and determined to make you unhappy.
If I were you, I would make other friends. Im not saying to "ditch" her, but dont spend all your time with her. Go to the movies or invite other girls over. Its healthy to have other friends... and who knows? You might find a TRUE best friend that will be happy for instead of trying to take your joy (and boyfriend) away. It can be done, trust me.

my first boyfriend of almost 6 months recently left for a job in another country for a year..he said he wants to stay together and be together when he comes back and we talk online and stuff a lot but i'm having a really hard time dealing with this.. hes only been gone a month.. and i can't eat without getting sick, i'm crying all the time and generally depressed a lot.. i don't know what to do.. if anyone has any advice please write me back.. thanks :)

Ok to be honest- your boyfriend is not being very fair to you. I dated this guy for 7 months, and then he enlisted in the army. We ended up breaking up because he didnt want me to feel like I couldnt live a life without him; because I could; AND i AM. Kyle (my ex), said that I needed someone there for me in person, to hug me, to come see me, to talk to on the phone, to comfort me, and do things that he wouldnt be able to do while he was in Iraq. True, your boyfriend is only gone for a year, but I dont see why he is having you on a tight string so early in a relationship. If you had been dating about 3 or 4 years, it would be a different situation...
But obviously since you are depressed and not eating well, this has taken a bad toll on you. I think that him keeping you restrained to him only and then for him to leave you, that is just going to cause pain in the future. That is a YEAR you will not spend with him. That is crucial; especially since its not even been ONE year since you started dating. You will have been apart longer than you were dating. Im not trying to dampen your spirits, but I was once in your shoes. I know now that if I had dwelled on the relationship with my ex, I would still be in a dark place in my life. Maybe you truly love him, and thats great. Hopefully he truly loves you in that case. But the thing is, when it comes down to it, you have to decided is he worth losing your sanity, happiness, and yourself over- because trust me it WILL happen. I have been there before.
HopE I helped some.

I just want to know all the ways you can tell if someone likes.They have to be TRUE facts not fake ones.If you dont know any can you give me a website that I could find the answer to my question.Thank you!!!

1. They hint that they want your number; OR BONUS: They give you theirs or ask for yours.
2. They smile at you whenever they look their way.
3. They are quiet around you and loud around everyone else; you make them nervous.
4. The stare at you, but when you look at them they look away.
5. They tell your friend they think you are cute.
6. They ask your friend if you have a bf/gf.
7. They want to spend a lot of time together.
8. They get upset when you mention other guys/girls... even if you arent dating them.
9. They call... a LOT.
10. They are always trying to make you laugh by their actions or something they say.
11. They find a way to touch you SOMEhow...
12. They get up really close in your face when they talk to you.
13. When you speak, they look at you.
14. They sometimes "accidently" bump you.
15. The tease you. Depending on age, guys tend to tease girls that they like but are afraid to tell anyone... its just what they do. I dont quite understand why though... lol
16. They pick little arguements with you just because they can.
17. They give you a nickname; and actually call you the nickname in public.
18. They TELL you they like you.

Sorry this list isnt too long. IF i can think of some more, i will post them as another answer. Hope i helped you!!! =]

Well he asked me out about 4 months ago and we had sex and everything but he's in the army and he's going 4 training and stuff witch I'm ok with he's helping free our contrey I'm proud of him but then he said he wants 2 go on active dutiy 4 3 years and I already worry about him like 24/7 I mean he's my life I'm just scard that he might not make it and it hurts but I would miss that he always wants sex even if I'm crying r something he talks 2 me and when I stop crying he asks me if I want 2 have sex its like he's horny 24/7

well my ex-boyfriend is in the army... and he is a "horny toad" as well. Kyle has been at basics since september and he has changed so muchh already. At basics, guys have a lot of time to think about things... so hopefully he'll calm down. The only problem with dating a guy in the army is that when they go to iraq or wherever they go, they can sleep with people (NUMEROUS AMOUNTS of people) and you never find out about it...
its awful but its something i still worry about...
we are supposed to get back together but idk
my heart is broken but i know it will work for the best. Thats what you have to do. Dont give in to things you dont want to do, but dont settle for what you DONT want.
If a guys respected you, he would like YOU, not what you give him. The easiest way to see if hes worth keeping around is to hold off on the sex and see how he reacts.
idk what else to say but i hope i was of some help.
since you understand my situation a little, you should answer my question i just submitted "Love is a battlefield."

Female 16

Ok there is this boy that I like he is in a grade lower than me and he is ayear younger. Now he likes this other girl that I have known like forever and I told him that they should go out. He wants me to talk to her and see if she will go out with him but I don't really talk to her. I like him alot. What do I do?

Ok
lets see.
this is really tough... and i have been in the same situation before, but the guy was older than me.
what i would do is i would talk to the girl and just see if she likes him. if she does like him i would tell him that if he liked her, he would ask her out. its not nice of him to tell YOU to find out if she will go out with him- its rude.
but if she DOESNT like him, then nicely tell him. He won't like it if you're mean about it and that will ruin any chances of you two goin out in the future.
and the age difference?
its more a deal now than in 4 years.
so age shouldnt matter.
if you REALLY like him , i would just tell him.
then when you look back on your hs or ms life when your older, you can say that you did the best you could. i hope i helped you out a LITTLE bit!!

so i have been going out with my girlfrined for about 3 months now, and i wanted to know if anyone knew what kind of questions i can ask her to get to know her better and vise versa...like whats your favorite color to personal ones like whats your dirtyest dream

lets see.
the key in a good relationship is honesty... so be aware that whatever questions YOU ask HER, she will want you to answer.
so you can talk to them about their favorite colors, music they like, where they want to go to college, their dream vacation, how many kids they want to have, the farthest they've gone, and some girls acutally like to talk about sports. i do but a lot more dont.
but it really just depends on what she is like.
is she more preppy...
then you can ask her things like about her clothes or shoppin
more athletic?
favorite sports and sports teams.
i hope i helped you a little bit. anymroe questions and just let me know!!

My bedroom is white and boring. I've been thinking about redecorating it. mostly painting the walls. I just have no idea what color to paint it. My favorite colors are pink and black. I'd be scared to paint it black and plus, im not allowed. but im not sure if i wanna paint it pink. Please help.

What colors would you suggest to paint a bedroom.

I'll rate 5's for anyone that tries.

WEll this is the perfect question for me
My room is painted pink, black, and white.
What i did was that i painted hot pink halfway up the wall...
then i painted black and white zebra stripes about 5 inches high from the pink base. It gets a little bit of black in white along with a bright bold color so it looks awesome...
It could depend on what ur bedding is like tho...
hope i helped....

Hey, well im gonna go to a 'party' on friday well i wouldnt call it a party cause my friend is haveing me and 2 other girls spend the night and her brother is haveing 4 freshman spending the night to.... me and my friends are 13 and 14 and him and his friends are 14 and 15...Well two of my friends already have 'dibs' on two of the guys..... so ive never met any of theses guys soo i dont know witch one ill 'click' with.... but like my friends are telling me ill like this one kid because we are both alike.... but thier telling me that he is 'sexually active' so like i dotn want to get like to close to him cause i have to sleep there.... so should i even go to the party and have fun but possibly do something i might regret or should i stay home and miss a great party and just being pariniod(sp)over nothing

thanks soo much!!!

p.s. im 13 and the guy their telling me i like is 15

I would go but if they guys starts to get all touchy feely then I would tell him to back off. Make sure you say it firmly so he knows you mean it. For an excuse you can say that "is doesnt feel comfortable" and let it be. If he is a really nice boy then he will understand. Also, I wouldnt sleep near him....for your safety.

There is this guy "friend" of mine that I met last year. After a while we were fully aquainted, we started hanging out. I really think he likes me because he has always treated me with respect and kindness. I went to his house the other day, and we started "fooling around". Now he wants to have sex, not as partners, but as friends. He said that this is not considered being a slut or anything because we are friends. Is this true? I really like him. I just got over a really bad situation with the last person I was with. Please help me.



*~!Ayla!~* ( I am only 13, and I'm a girl )

This guy is not being your friend! He's lying to you! Sleeping with someone is the same as sleeping with a friend. You WILL get the slut label if anyone finds out about it (and people will find out about it because boys like to brag about their sexual experiences in the locker room). If this guy is really your friend he wont pressure you and respect your decision to say pure until married. If he gets mean in any way...you need to to find friends somewhere else! Besides...when you are only 13, sex shouldnt be and option. You should be at the movie playing with your "girl" friends...not fooling around with your guy "friend" where mistakes can be made. ONCE YOU HAVE SEX...YOU CAN NEVER HAVE YOUR VIRGINITY BACK. YOU WILL REGRET THIS LATER IN LIFE!
hOPE i hELPED....

By the time people are around 20, do you recon they expect sex as part of a relationship?

Guys expect to have sex in the relationshhip from the first girl they see. No...the good guys...the ones who will make good husbands...dont expect sex to be a major factor in a relationship. Give it time. Dont waste yourself on someone you wouldnt marry. Save yourself for the one you love. ~*~mAdDiE~*~

i baby sat this little boy a few months back and i met his brother at the same time one time we were out walking and he told me that his bro had wrote a suacide letter i didnt believe him.. but i've started hangin out with his brother whos my age, when i looked for a top in his drawer i found this note book i read the first line saw it was the letter, then he turned around and goes do u mind, so i put it back, but im really worried now i dont know whether to tell him i know, just be a friend and try to help him without telling him, maybe see if i can read the letter when he aint in his room some time i duno please help!

I would tell someone. I would also tell the person that you notify about his suicide thoughts that you dont want him to find out that it was you who told on him. You could be right...You could be wrong. But it is better to be safe than sorry. I would try to read the rest of the letter, but I wouldnt tell him that you read it because he may get suspicious when he finds out someone knows his secret. I hope I helped to some level. RATE ME PLEASE!!! THANKS

i'd like to know if it is wrong to donate your eggs/semen to couples who cannot copulate in exchange for money. There are constanly ads for this sort of thing and i'm broke. my boyfriend thinks it's horrible that i would want to give my not-yet-concieved child away, but if it provides me enough cash to stay in school, pay rent, and get to work on public transit I can't see how it is so wrong if i screen the people to give it to. i don't want to do the wrong thing to make money, i just naturally see it as helping people, nt selling a baby. please help?

Its ok in my point of view. Before you make your choice you should go see all the people that are willing to get a public transmit. Look at how they treat each other when they are in public. If you feel comfortable giving a "life" to another person it is ok. You will be helping people who arent able to have a baby get a baby and in addition you will be getting a little cash. Overall, I think it is ok...as long as you make sure you donate your "baby" to a good family. Hope I helped!! Rate Me Please!!

There's this girl in my p.e. class, and I think she might like me. She hugs me every day, and she seemed really excited today when she told me that she broke up with her boyfriend. We always joke around, and she's kissed my neck before, just playing around though. The question is, do you think she likes me, should I ask her out, and a random question I'm throwing in: I just got braces, how would making out with someone work?

It appears that she does like you...take a chance and ask her out...you never know. Make sure you dont french kiss too long with a person who has braces...You could become stuck with your tounge down her throat! IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!! HOPE I HELPED!! RATE ME
