I've been with my boyfriend for about 2 1/2 weeks and I really like him. My only problem is that I'm afraid to trust him because I don't want to get hurt emotionally. I've heard that he cheats on his girlfriends, and he lies, and he's dirty, and he's just using me, but when I'm with him, he tells me and shows me that he's not like that at all. I really want to be able to love him, but will I regret it? Should I let down my guard? He's 3 years older than me if it helps. Thanks in advance.

However, if you are just going into a closer friendship kinda relationship, the whole kiss&hold hands thing, then maybe you should give it a go... [ cruvas's advice column | Ask cruvas A Question ]

I mean, you don't want to break up with someone you like if it really was meant to be. But don't talk to him about it because trust me, that never works. Count how many people have actually told you and THEN talk to him. But if your best friend comes and tells you, have more proof. Best of luck.

If sex is even remotely in the picture, don't "trust" him by having sexual contact with him right away. A condom won't protect you from herpes.
If your young enough that "cheating" means holding hands at a movie with someone else, or maybe a quick peck at the end of said movie, and nothing more serious than that, go ahead and go for it. It's a mater of degree: a broken heart is a learning experience, AIDS a is life sentence.
I'm guessing that your a teenager, and the three years is significant. Say, a your 14 and he's 17. Go on dates, hold hands, maybe even kiss him a little. But keep everyones clothes on and all the hands outside of them. Two and a half weeks may be a while to you, but if he's got a drivers license, it's not much to him. If he's old enough to drink, it's almost no time at all. Don't let him pressure you into anything.

Give him a chance and I hope you use this advice. RaTe Me!!!!!!!!!!!! [ lipsRHoT2kissU2's's advice column | Ask lipsRHoT2kissU2's A Question ]
DrAnqel answered Monday January 3 2005, 8:15 pm: You gotta do what you think is right. Follow your heart. If you love him and he loves you, then rumors shouldn't matter. He may have done those things in the past, but that doesn't mean he will do them to you right? Trust your heart. If you think that he's worth it. Then please, for him, let your guard down. He may really need your love as much as you need to love him. There will be no regrets, as long as you learn from it, maybe he is right for you, but if he isn't, life goes on. Maybe you could talk to him about what you've heard. Good luck sweetie, I really hope I helped and that things work out for you and your boyfriend. Keep me posted? -Angel [ DrAnqel's advice column | Ask DrAnqel A Question ]
