Question Posted Thursday September 15 2005, 7:39 pm
Ok so i just called my boyfriend, and all of the sudden it feels like i cant even connect with him anymore. (I'm 13 and hes 16) I called him and asked if he was going to the football game Friday nite, and he said probably not. I was trying to hint to him that I was going and that I wanted to see him, but he would'nt really talk. so i lied and told him I needed to do my homework so I could get off the phone w/ him. What do you think we should talk about?
krazykeegan answered Thursday September 15 2005, 10:39 pm: The whole "hinting" thing in love is usually a road to all sorts of confusion, miscommunication and other such things that no one wants to deal with. Miscommunication can be a serious problem in most relationships, and "hinting" can sometimes be the cause of that. If he says he's not going, and you try to hint that you're going, you might not get the message across. Instead of hinting next time, tell him you want to see him. The best way to accomplish anything in relationships is to just come out and say it.
This doesn't mean be ridiculously blunt or anything - you can still sugar-coat things, but don't beat around the bush if you have something important to say. [ krazykeegan's advice column | Ask krazykeegan A Question ]

TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 answered Thursday September 15 2005, 9:18 pm: Ok, first of all, he's Way Too Old for you. It sounds like he's uncomfortable with a 13-year-old girlfriend. The age difference is so huge that it's no wonder you two don't have anything to talk about! You can't relate to each other. And if you are dying to get OFF the phone with him, that's not good, either. A boyfriend shouldn't just be someone you have a crush on...a boyfriend should be someone you can talk to and and fun with, aside from someone who you really like. Break up and find someone your own age. [ TheHeadHonchoPoncho57's advice column | Ask TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 A Question ]

This is my favorite topic because ive been through alot of it When i was 13 i was going out wit 16 and 17 yearold your a very smart girl for doing the same but the whole age thing shouldnt effect your conversations dont be afraid to be direct just cause hes older, they like that....Say heyy come to the football game with me i want to chill.

I've gone on for hours about politics and I will tell you right now that if you even keep slightly updated on politics you can go on for hours. But interests are like music (bands you like, songs you like, lyrics you just love to hear, etc.), movies (favorite movies, actors, actresses, etc.), or even some issues that matter something to you (your friend got harassed by a guy, how lame it is to call people bitches and sluts, how full of labels today's world is, etc.). I'm sure there can be something that interests you. Now I am a debator so I could go on forever with topics that matter something. For instance, did you know that a law was passed that prevent schools from saying the pledge of alligiance, but no one really enforces it. I could go on and on.
