Hi, I want to know what to tell this girl...its like...I want to talk to her but freeze when I get the chance...what should I do/say? (link)
Well firstly, you can't "freeze". If you do you'll never talk to her. If it's someone you already know just go talk to her. If you don't really talk much get to know her a little first then tell her how you feel.


so today at a carnival my dad said wars on ur wrist n I said nothin thn my mom found out n said we r guna talk bout this later becuz I was with all my friends so what do I say when she talks to me because i am an emo (link)
I agree with the previous comment but just to add when your parents do talk to you about it, you should tell them what's going on with you, what you're feeling, and why you're doing what you're doing. Your parents love you and only want to help you with anything that's bothering you.


this is just a general question,if you are starting to see someone, is it ok to ask how their past relationshp ended? just to make sure your possible relationship won't end the same way? (link)
I don't think you should just come out and ask randomly or anything. If you two are close and have been dating for a while it'll probably come out in conversation anyway. Try not to seem like you're basing your present relationship on his past one's.


So, I'm getting married in a few months. My fiance is getting deployed in April, so we wanted to sign papers first and then have a real wedding next year. However, I still wanted to do something decently special for our courthouse wedding. For those of you who have done the 'signing papers' thing, I would like to know how you all did it and how you guys celebrated! I just want some nice ideas, thank you! (link)
Firstly, congratulations! Yeah, I think a small get together/party/dinner would be a fun idea. It could be for your family/closest friends. When you have the ceremony later then pull out all the bells and whistles and invite everyone you know to help you two celebrate!


i have been single for a little over a year and it's my senior year of high school. i just got over a crush and i'm feeling great and free about not having guys in my life to distract me. but my friends are all complaining about how lonely they are and how badly they want boyfriends. i feel like i'm the only one who's not upset about being single. for me it's like this; i have a job and a ton of homework. i have to worry about where i'm going to college and things like that during the winter cheerleading starts and that takes up all my time so i don't think i'll have time to keep a boyfriend. if i can't have time for myself, how am i going to possibly have time to have a boyfriend? i won't be opposed to having one if the right guy comes along and i'll tell him that i am a busy person and things might be complicated for us but until then, i don't care about having a boyfriend right now. idk is it ok for me to feel so calm about being single and not worried about getting a boyfriend anytime soon? i mean like i almost feel abnormal because i'm not crying every night because i don't have one... (link)
Some women think they need a a boyfriend to be happy. Everyone is different and it's smart (especially at this time in your life) to put yourself first. You've got a lot to look forward to. If someone happens to enter your life, great! If not, that's perfectly okay too. Enjoy your last year of high school and your upcoming years in college or whatever it is you're going to do.


I emailed a guy and told him how I felt about him. He wrote back a few days later. Saying that he apologizes if he doesn't respond back in a timely manner. I then replied back telling him not to rush. Whenever you get the chance to get online again you could reply back then.

Sometime after I sent that email to him. He's been online and active but has yet to reply back to my email. What could be the reason as to why he hasn't replied yet? I'm a 26 yr old Leo female. Emailing an 26 yr old Virgo male. I sent him the email on September 15th 2011 now it's September 26th 2011. I hope I'm not reading too much into it. (link)
Honestly, if he responded that one time and hasn't responded since it sounds like he doesn't feel the same but may not know how to tell you. If this guy isn't man enough to "man up" and email you back either way then it's time for you to move on and find someone else who won't leave you hanging.


I know it sounds insane, but escorts are human. I know because I feel in love with one. She has had a tougher life than most of us could imagine and she is very close to putting her escorting past behind her thanks to education. My issue is that I do not trust her. She's been a high end escort for 7 years and I started seeing her first as a client then became her boyfriend. I am by nature a jealous person and I wonder if I'll ever trust her. She has lied to me, but it's always because she's trying to hide her past and protect me from it. How can I ever trust this person? Many thanks for your thoughts on this. (link)
The fact that you're willing to trust her after everything is a start. It may not happen easily but if you love someone enough or are able to love them unconditionally then I believe one day you'll have a trusting relationship between the both of you. Hopefully she sees how much you're willing to do for her and in turn she'll want to give back to your relationship just as much.


I'm shy and I dont know how to start a conversatoin because he dosen't talk to me and I dont talk to him I need help PLEASE!!! (link)
If ya'll don't talk then he doesn't know you like him. He may be shy as well, you never know. You're just going to have to suck it up and initiate a conversation. "Hi, my name is..." is good or "Hey, how's it going?" works too. Then continue talking about similar interests (if you know any) or about your surroundings whether it be school, work, or etc. Your conversations may not be book length at first but talk to him as often as you can and after a while you'll be able to get a feel of interests or similarities an talk more and more.


I wouldnt call us bestfriends since we don't tell each othe everythng and don't talk all the time like bestfriends do by we calls each ther bffs. He said he will always be my bff. Thing is I'm too proud to admit I like him. Everyone thinks we are dating or have dated before. When we first met we were very close to dating but I screw up BIG time. I feel like if I tell him how I feel I will get rejected and I don't think I can Handle that. I saw him flirting with this girl but I guess she didn't pay attention to him. Right now I fell like I'm loosing him as a friend and potential boyfriend. We both dated other people but it seems like EVERY time we talk there is a spark in us. We don't even see each other anymore except in between classes. Then there is the possibility that if we do date ad then break up I will lose the amazing friends that he is:/ is this a Lose lose situation? (link)
You should tell him how you feel. If he declines you then it may be awkward at first but if it's a great friendship it'll overcome that. If he says he feels the same, then great! Taking a friendship to a relationship always has that chance of ending and then where do you stand? If it just ends because it didn't work out and you still have a strong friendship then it can overcome that out come as well. You don't know what the future holds for and you'll never know until you take that chance if you really feel you like him more than a friend. The longer you wait the longer you'll have these worries.


I would like to know the best way to kill yourself.i have been out of work for 5 months I have lost my job,pawned every puece of jewelry I own,pawned my lap top,wrote check loans,title loans,about to loose both my vehicles by the end of the month im ready to die. (link)
You should never give up, no matter how bad things get. There is nothing in the world that's worth giving up your life for. I don't know what your religious orientation is but the best advice I can give is to fully put your life in the hands of God and he will guide you. Get out there and apply anywhere and everywhere you can and even though things seems bad keep your head up. I believe in you.


Ive been on birthcontrol for about 5 years and recently (as in sunday) decided to go off it so i can give my body a chance to self regulate. my question is what side effects can i expect by going off it? i feel depressed today and my mom said it's cause i went off it it. is that going to last a long time? and if it helps its lutera that im on. Thanks! (link)
I was on birth control for about 8 years and recently stopped. I was on a different brand but the things I experienced were my cramps hurt more, random spotting, my acne picked up, and moodiness. Also, at first the periods weren't really normal but after a while they became more regulated. Hope that helps!


In response to weight question: I haven't really noticed a weight difference. But it may differ from person to person and I wasn't on the same one. My doctor did mention to me that some birth control can cause increase in water weight.


there is this girl at my school her name is haley nesbitt were are friends and then were not and i dont want to be her friend what do i do. she wants to make me commit suaside (link)
If you're figuratively saying you wanna commit suicide to show how much this person is hurting you, then fine. If you literally mean it then know that no one or no thing is worth giving up your life, ever. If you're being bullied by this person then just stay away from her.


okay just a heads up this might get kind of confusing and i feel like such a little kid asking for advice on here but oh well.so background theres this boy ive known pretty much my whole life and when we were younger he moved away and than moved back in like 6th grade. when he told me he was moving back we started talking all the time (via aim which was cool back than) and once he moved back we slowly became close and and he'd call me (yes this was a big deal in the 7th grade!) and we always had something between us but yet we were young and at that age its dumb to "go out" but for christmas he got me a braclet it was cute. as the years went on into freshmen year we started distancing and he started dating my friend who would always joke that he chose her over me and than i did something pretty messed up and i told on him and pretty much got him kicked out of school and messed up his life. i think i had anger for him and i not being close anymore. so as the years went on we never talked and id always try apologizing to him cause id find myself thinking about him and he never accepted it he hated me pretty much. than my senior year of highschool i saw him again here and there and he was fine with me but we werent friends again or anything close to that. now heres where i need help. he went to jail for some trouble he got into and something told me to write him. when he wrote back i was surprised and estatic. like literally beaming from ear to ear. he said he'd keep writing and he told someone he was really happy i wrote him. now put aside the fact that hes in jail but idk what keeps me coming back to him. like i want to be with him and i dont know what to do. should i just let go of the feelings cause there probably just from the past or what? (link)
It seems when ya'll were younger there was something you shared. Over time though people grow and change. You can still be in someone's life in a non romantic way. It seems like he really needs a friend at this point in his life. You shouldn't just wait around for him in the romantic sense. If something were to come from your relationship, great. But if not just be there for him as a friend.


14/f

My boyfriend and I have been going out for about 4 months, and I want to break up with him simply because I don't like him in that way anymore. I haven't for the past month. Whenever he kisses me now, I get seriously disgusted and want to avoid more kissing at all costs. The problem is, my and this guy have been really good friends for about two years now and I do not want to lose him as a friend. He is so sweet and nice and I don't want to hurt him, but the feeling just isn't there for me anymore. But he thinks nothing has changed, because nothing has changed! I'm worried he's going to be totall shocked because there has been nothing leading up to this, no fade out. How do I break up with him so that we can still be friends? And do you think this will shock him because I really don't think he has any idea what's coming, he texted me that he loved me tonight and I feel so bad. Also, I only see him at lunch at school and I don't want to text the breakup to him but I don't want to arrange a date because he will get excited (and text me about the, um, stuff we're going to do that involves kissing- he always does that before dates.) But I don't want to destroy his day halfway through school. When should I do it? And I feel terrible, I don't want to hurt him. (link)
There isn't really any good way or right time to break up with someone but it's better to do it sooner than later so you're not stringing them along. If you aren't able to catch him at school just tell him you need to get together (don't make it sound like a date). It may be hard but you just have to suck it up and tell him. It's hard on both parts because you're unhappy and he doesn't know you don't feel the same way. Even if you want to stay friends it may or may not happen but if it does it won't right away which is best because it seems he has stronger feelings and he may need time to get over everything.


How do I get a guy I like to respond to my texts? (link)
If you're texting him and he isn't responding back then you should stop texting him. Either he'll respond to that or he won't and then you'll know if he's even worth texting in the first place. You shouldn't do anything to make him text you back because that may push him away more. Guys don't respond to to clingy/pushiness too well.


I am a 20 year old female and I haven't had sex in 6 months and the last person I had sex with was my boyfriend of a year and a half. He is the only person I've had sex with in a year and a half. I've had sex with other guys before, but it wasn't consistent like this. I am so used to having sex with my ex and I have nothing to be insecure of because he's seen everything and it was just comfortable. I don't know if I can get back out there and just have sex. I'm scared of getting anywhere close to having sex with guys because I'm just self conscious and I wouldn't want someone talking shit about me. Also I haven't had sex in 6 months so I'm kinda rusty ;:/ how do I get back out there and actually hook up with guys I like... (link)
"Hooking up" can always cause problems in some way, shape, or form. Whether it's a ruined reputation, unplanned pregnancies with someone you don't know, or std's there is always that chance your taking. Just because you're not with someone doesn't mean you have to be sexually frustrated. You always have the option of taking care of yourself (I'm trying to be discrete so not to offend anyone but I'm talking about what rhymes with "rating") and there aren't any repercussions from it. If you're wanting to get out there to date and maybe have a relationship eventually then you can't be afraid to get out there and talk to people.


i feel like i cant trust my husband because he lead me to believe that and when i bring things up he doesnt want to hear it he keeps saying i hold on to the pass to much but if he would stop and just love me and respect me we will have no problems he seems not to understand that he always eye roming and that hurts my feeling and its destroying our marriage what should i do (link)
If there is something that happened with your relationship in the past that isn't a now valid issue it's understandable that it would bother your husband that you're still bringing it up. If you can't let go of something that isn't an at the moment pressing issue, how are you supposed to move forward in your relationship?

Also, if he's "eye roaming" when your with him (let's face it guys are guys and they'll look, but the good ones won't touch) you need to let him know that it's bothering you.
