I'm 16, i get told i'm pretty, 5'3, 120lbs, brown hair and eyes, sophmore, friendly, funny, and i love just about everyone... ok well thats the 411 on me but theres a huge problem with it: I'm sick of being single! Ive been single for waaaayyyy too long now. I want a real relationship that lasts! I used to like this one guy who just got out of a really long relationship, so that obviously didnt work out so well... then i started liking this other guy who goes to another school (i still kinda like him now too but things are confusing) and i THINK he likes me too. He's let me drive his car w/o my permit, he's taken me to this romantic park that i really wanted to go to so i metioned it to him and he surprized me, he didnt smoke for a week because i dont like it, he's spontaneously stopped by my house to pick me up, he takes pics of me on his camera and he left a message on my phone last week saying that he was looking through them and seeing me made him happy so he thought he'd call me... basically hes done adorable things like that! but the problem his he has a gf that he got after i started having a thing for him... i heard about it before he talked to me about it and he said "do you think i was sober when i asked her out?? no.." and "youre better than her, thats why i'm more worried about you being mad right now than even being with her" but yet like 3 weeks later he's STILL going out with her. I have a feeling he likes me, but since i'm not a skank i wont do all the things that his "gf" will do with him (i wont do them especially because he has the gf now). I think that he's falling for me and my personality but he's still with her because he wants some.. but i dont want that at all! I want a boyfriend who will love me for me.. i dont want to get played!!! what should I do?? PLEASE <3

Carrie1579 answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 5:14 pm: I had this same problem for a while too... but you don't have to be a "skank" to do things with people. I mean if you're just not comfortable because you've never done any of that stuff... then tell him that. And if he's worth it then he will understand and help you out. Just tell him that it will take you a little longer to get used to things... and you just want to take things a little slower. It sounds like he really likes you... but if he's not gonna be with you just because of the sexual things... then he's not worth it. So if he's willing to take it slow with you and get rid of his other gf... then he sounds like a winner... otherwise just keep looking.. it's all you can do :/ [ Carrie1579's advice column | Ask Carrie1579 A Question ]
Missa8305 answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 11:05 am: Basicly, you just told me that you know you're pretty and have a great personality :) If you want a boyfriend, why stress over this guy, it sounds like you could easily find someone else.
Yes, it sounds like he does like you, but in my opinion, he just doesn't like you enough. If he's dating someone else instead of you, he's clearly a moron :P I'm also concerned that, if he's just with this girl because she's willing to grant sexual favors, even if he did dump her for you, his intentions might not be so honorable. I don't think that's what you want. You've all ready stated that you don't do those things, and that's great. Don't stop respecting yourself. Ever. Besides, you said that you wanted to be with someone who loved you for being you. And you deserve someone who does!
girdy_goo15 answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 6:29 am: wow!!!! well how much do you like him? and people can change. just ask him (when he's alone)what he thinks of you. if he likes you then tell him he has to choose between the two of y'all. and then if he chooses you make it clear to him that you aren't a slut. just be honest.
hope i helped!!

The guy who likes you now but is going out with that other girl is obvously not good enough for you. I'm sure you're beautiful and many other guys are just dying to get to know you, so get out there and find your dream man! [ sp4rklingr4in's advice column | Ask sp4rklingr4in A Question ]
rainbowsend answered Monday March 28 2005, 1:40 am: If you want a decent relationship... you need to only consider decent guys. Set your standards high.
A guy who flirts with another girl and leads her on while he has a girlfriend does not sound like a decent guy to me. If you don't like smoking, don't date a smoker (it takes more than 1 week to quit). If you want a guy who's romantic, that's awesome- but make sure it's GENUINE romance, not just pick-up lines and romantic gestures to impress you.
Miss_Lily answered Monday March 28 2005, 12:00 am: This guy is a player. Point blank. He doesn't want to be with just you because you won't have sex with him. It seems as if he likes you for the conversation, and he loves being around you because of your personality, but he won't make a commitment to you because of your values. (As in, not sleeping with him.) I don't understand how you can like a guy, knowing that he is sleeping with someone else while flirting with you. If he had any respect for you, and liked you half as much as you like him, then he would have already of broken up with his girlfriend to be with you. Since he has not done that, or made any attempts to do that, then he has no intentions of being with anyone besides her for now. If he can go out with a girl while he is drunk, then sobers up and still doesn't break up with her, then what kind of person is he? Focus your attention on a guy that is more worthy. He is not worth your time. [ Miss_Lily's advice column | Ask Miss_Lily A Question ]
karenR answered Sunday March 27 2005, 11:50 pm: Is this other girl really a steady girlfriend, or just another girl he goes out with? People can date more than one person at a time.Though, doesn't seem like they do it much anymore!
He really seems to do things that say he likes you a lot.Maybe you should just ask him exactly where you stand in his life. Just ask like you told it to us....You told me I was better than her, so why are you still dating her ,you have me a little confused.?
Tell him you don't want to get hurt so you really need to know.Don't want to fall for him more if you're going to be hurt in the end.See what he has to say. He did come clean about seeing her so he must want to be honest with you.So you get him to tell you.
Sherry answered Sunday March 27 2005, 11:37 pm: If you dont want to get played, your best bet is to wait until your out of high school. High school guys have one thing on their mind: sex. You will find a guy that is not like that (there are guys out there) and will love you for you. You just have to be patient..and I know it sucks to wait..but its better than being crushed and broken hearted because a boy you liked cheated on you, played you, used you, whatever. But you will find that special guy and your relationship will last long and you'll be so happy together! [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
