my boyfriend is in grade 8 , and for the end of the year field trip , he went to toronto. he ended up kissing his best girl friend, but they both assured me it was in the moment and there were no feelings. after a while, i forgave him . but he got mad at me when i told him that my ex still had feelings for me . he broke up with me in a text the next day, but he said he wanted to "take a break and wait for everything to cool down" . he's usually a really nice guy, and i want to get back together! what does he mean 'wait for things to cool down' ? and what should i do in the mean time?

 

Hey girl!  If he broke up with you, you are free to do whatever you want in the meantime, but if you want to get back together, check with him and see when you guys are going to talk things out.  Maybe he's upset about your ex and he wants to make sure you don't still have feelings for him.  Maybe he's questioning whether he has feelings for his BGF.  Whatever the case, the key is communication with your guy.  Try calling or texting him and asking him to clear things up!  xoxo

THANKS!!!!!




Hey girl,

Just be honest! Blame it on mom - tell him you like him a lot and would love to get to know him better, but it'll have to be as friends for now til your parents give you the OK. Shrug and smile. If he likes you, he'll understand and will hang out in groups, text you, and see you in school to grow closer as friends first!

MOD MOD MOD! i did something the caused irreversible damage in our friendship. And then we agreed that we shouldn't be friends anymore because he likes to remember the bad moments in our friendship. About texting him, he thinks that when you're not friends anymore it's complete withdrawal which basically means you no longer do anything with that person. Anyways, what can i do to get over him?




Hey girl, I understand where he's coming from. He's trying to erase you from his life by distance. And if that's what he wants, benefit from it too. Try distancing yourself and plugging yourself into activities with other friends. It takes two to have a friendship and it sounds like he's decided for himself he doesn't want one.

Hey babe! 

Why aren't you and your BGF friends anymore? Is it something that's fixable, or did one of you do something that caused irreversibly damage in your friendship? Chances are, he's missing you too. Why don't you text him to see if he wants to meet up and talk about how he feels? Let me know what happens! xoxox

MOD MOD MOD There's this guy that I liked a lot in the beginning of school, and he liked me back, and we started hanging out a LOT and acting like we were dating but it wasnt official. We met up at the park one day and I had my first kiss with him, but now, things have happened and I just don't like him anymore. He tells me he loves me all the time and I say it back, but I only love him like a good friend. He tells me he would get absolutely destroyed if he ever lost me, but I don't want to be with him anymore. How do I break it to him that I just want to be friends... with no "benefits"?

 

Hey girly, aww this is a tough sitch. When you break it to him you need to be as nice and clear as you can. Tell him the way you would want someone to tell you. I suggest you either tell him in person or on the phone, but not through a text message or another person. Try saying something like "I really like you, but I think we would be better just as friends. Our relationship would be much stronger and closer if we were just buddies." Hope this helps girl!!!

I been through a bad relship but the week we broke up he asked my bff out and keep giving her notes I feeltb so jelouse it” s been a year seans we broke up but i.can” t ge ov er him and my bff aways has guys nm on her no fair what shoud I do HELP ME

 

Hey girly, I would say something to your BFF. Tell her you're still not over the breakup and you don't want her flirting with your ex. But be sure to tell her NOT to tell your ex that's the reason she doesn't want to talk to him anymore. He doesn't need to know how you are still feeling. It all gets better with time girl. It's only normal for you to still have some feelings towards him, so give yourself time to heal. Music can sometimes be the best therapy so play some songs that get you feeling good. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile

Well if this boy has a new girlfriend there may not be much you can do. With time youll get over him, so youre gonna have to give it time. So dont fret! youll feel better soon Smile I know it may suck now but do all you can to get your mind off it, like having girls night or anything fun that can distract. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Mod mod mod mod mod mod! Ok so I have this her friend (let's call her k.g.) well last year k.g. Acted like I was her best friend and she was mine. She always wrote on my stuff saying like I love you! And ur my BFF! We had every class together and we had so much fun in school! But then sometimes she would make fun of me, and then act like nothing happened. Her birthday rolled around and she said she wasn't having a party. But then she posted a picture on Facebook of her and twenty other girls I know the day after her birthday! It was obviously her party! And I never told her that I knew..and this year she's in all of my classes again! She gives me rude looks and just don't no what to think! Please help me! Thanks a bunch!

 

Hey girly, you don't need her! When she looks at you ignore her and let her know that she has no effect on you. The reason she gives you mean looks is because she knows she can intimidate you, so don't give her that satisfaction. Look proud and confident and if you can stare back. Hope this helps you girl!

its my third day of school, starting tomorrow,, aug.24th. it turns out thees this guy in all but one of my classes, including my algebra 1 honors, as seventh graders. I'm pretty sure hes been flirting with me, we conveniently sit next to each other in almost every class. he handed me his phone in sixth period and told me to give him his number. he's been texting me, and its so obvious, xD. its kinda like hes just desperate though, (its his first year at my school, im a returning veteran). and the though of us going out, as in bf/gf (im not into the dating thing, and our school doesnt have the type of dances you bring a date to anyway) its just awkward, and it was last year too, Ive had boyfriends before, and it didnt bother me, but now it kinda is. sorry about the longness, and im just confused.

i need some help. i was with a guy for 2 years and i found out he cheated on me more than once. i had proof but he still denied it. were still friends but i cant get over him. i know what he did to me was TERRIBLE but he was my first love and it hurt me so much. i dont know what to do. he says he still likes me but if he loved me as much as he said he did why would he treat me like im nothing? all my friends say im way too good for him and sometimes i think hes right. he told everyone i was obsessed with him when we broke up but i only called him twice the week after. and only to figure out what happened between us. now ive found out hes getting nude photos from a girl he cheated on me with. like i said he was my first love so this is really hard but if he says he still has feelings for me why does he act like this? and should i forgive him? or just let him go and forget about the dirt bag? and how do i get over him? im so confused. and hurt... help!!!




hey check it out:  http://www.girlslife.com/category/splitsville.aspx

It can be hard to let go of someone who has hurt you, because it's hard to get past the fact that you care so much and that they treated you badly. The thing is, when you find a guy who treats you right, you won't believe you ever liked this guy. Wait for someone who treats you with respect. it's worth it.

I feel terible!!!
My Ex and I had been dating over a year, and I went to an overnight camp for about two weeks. The thing is I met this great guy ''Jon'' and he made me feel happy, I could be me around him and it felt great! Every Day I fell harder and harder for him, and he felt the same way. When I got home I talked to my ex (Boyfriend at the time) and there were no sparks. I broke up him the next day. He got mad when he found out I met another guy. He asked how I could do this to him. Honestly I don't know. Two weeks later Jon and I started dating. We went to the movies and kissed. I felt soo bad! Two days later school started and my ex and I decided to be friends, but it's awkward for us.. what do I do? I need help please!

My ex apologized to me last night about how he acted when we were in a relationship. That was like months ago, and he's had soo many other chances to apologize before, why now?




Hey girl,

He probably had been thinking about how he acted and wanted to get that guilty/upset/"bad" feelings off his shoulders. He could've also been thinking of you - not necessarily that he wants to get back together, but he could've been missing you and used that as a way to talk to you. Either way, just take the apology graciously and move on Smile

MOD so i decided recently that i needed to let go of my crush of almost 2 years because im pretty sure he knows i like him but doesn't like me back. he is a family friend though so i cant erase completely out of my life (i see him around town a lot and we do a lot of annual things with our families like partis and we go on vacation to disneyland every january). ive tried to forget about him but it hurts. I've been in a fog because of it. But one thing that I have done to move on is that I already am looking at other guys. What else can I do to move on already. ps: ive already tried to move on from him after a year of crushing but never really did so I went back to majorly crushing on him. Please help mod, i really need help with this.

Hey girly,
As a girl who has been in this same sitch, I know that the best thing you can do is get your mind off of him and distract yourself. Try hanging out with your friends and telling them how you feel, then let them get your mind off it by doing some fun girl stuff. Also, when you're hanging around him, just keep reminding yourself that you have moved on, even if you haven't. Finally, try to find flaws in him. That makes it easier to get over the crush. Good Luck!

My bf of nine months and I broke up a few days ago. I broke up with him because he is going to college in a month but i'm only going be be a senior. I still have feelings for him and he still has feelings for me. I've been thinking it through over the past few days and now I'm really regretting breaking things off. He agreed to try to talk things out with me and I really want to try to figure out a way to make this work. I need tips for how to deal with a long distance relationship, help!!!




Hey girl, honestly, long distance relationships are hard. I don't think you two need to break up, break up forever, but it may be a good idea to take a break while he settles into school. College is an entirely different playing field and speaking from my own experience, I saw a lot of friends with high school boyfriends grow apart as they did their own things. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. I think it's just important that a) you talk about it and b) you realize things will change. I can't tell you what the right thing to do is, but I can say that I don't see many high school couples make it but they all share one thing: they try.

I know i should be happy because he had more problems than i can count. I just wished he would actually feel bad about breaking up but he doesn't. How do i get over this? it was my first relationship. There is nothing to do this summer and nowhere I can find someone to find another crush on until school starts. What do i do? I havent had much contact with my friends and they never text me back. He was the only one I ever texted. I dont know what to do.

So, a week ago my boyfriend and i broke up. So far I have spent my days either crying, planning revenge, or texting him until he either stops replying or my fingers fall off. See, one of the reasons he broke up with me was because I was too clingy. It was my first relationship. I honestly thought it was supposed to be all I-love-yous and flowers and happiness. Not. It takes patience & understanding. I don't think either of us had that.

My boyfriend and I broke up two days ago, after five monthes. I loved him but after a few monthes he didn't feel it anymore, and things went down from there. I'm not upset with him because I know he only did what was best for us, but it's very hard for me to talk about it or even hear/say his name. I'm inviting one of my friends over next week to help me get over him completely. But if I cant even say his name, how will I hold back the tears when I see him every day during school? It hurts to even think about it. Do you have any tips?
Thanks so much.




hey! so sorry about that girl, breakups are rough. you sound like you're being very mature about it though. I'm not gonna lie, it'll be hard to see him at first. my best tip is do something fun that doesn't remind you of him. After i had a breakup once i started a new job, and it was actually really relaxing because nothing there had any association with the relationship. find something like that to take your mid off things. good luck!

Hey girlie, if you're not interested in your boyfriend anymore then you did the right thing. He'll move on, he just needs time. Try talking to a counselor at school for some great advice! They'll help you get the help you need.

Hey girlie, just be outgoing and flirty! Talk to the boys you like and do things like make eye contact and smile at them in the hallways and touch their arm gently when you're talking to them.

MOD MOD MOD my boyfriend of almost 2 years when to the river and "fooled" aroudn with another girl. he told me and said he feel so bad about it and thinking about it makes him feel sick. the next day he broke up with me. later that wekk we got back together and he said that he loves me and wants to be with me forever. later that week he breaks up with me again saying "he doesnt feel the same and our relationship is boring." i am a complete reck and every is telling me that i will get over it. but it very hard not to think about him all the time, i love him so much and really want him back, i want him to be happy too so i dont want to force him back with me, but like i aid i miss him so much. should i give him space? and see if he starts to like me again? or should i listen to everyone and just try to forget?




Hey girl,  it sounds like this guy is confused and doesn't know what he wants, and you don't deserve that. You deserve a guy who knows he wants you, not one who wavers. My suggestion is to be fair to yourself: distance yourself from him and work on moving on. You deserve a guy proud to be with you, not one who's confused.

ive been through a lot of breakups and trust me, a lot of them have been jerks! but what i have learned is that they might regret endeing it or they might not. what i do recommend is NOT to "curse out" your ex just for ending it. sure, he might have broken your heart but he still is human and still has feelings, think of a bettr and healthier way.

my boyfriend of 2 years just broke up with me and his excuse was he didnt want to keep looking in the past and niether should i. i called him on his birthday just being nice and we started talking. i know not to go back to him becuse of what he did and im so not going to but he posts things about me on his fb page and all my friends get angry about it and tell him to quit. they all keep telling him i deserve a better explanation because he even told my best friend he was lying when he said that. i dont know what to do but i agree that i do need a better explanation can you help?




Hey girlie,

Breakups usually never go perfectly for us - they always leave us asking questions, wondering why, and there are always more things we could say to our ex. But it's really not worth it to stand in front of him and demand a better explanation - he clearly was uncomfortable with it and, whether he has another reason or not, he might not be able to vocalize it right now. But honestly, it's likely that no explanation - whether it's "good" or not - will seem like enough. It's not worth stressing over! Two years is a long time so it's normal to feel upset or like you need "closure" on the situation, but the best closure you can have is moving on, doing something good and healthy for yourself (like joining a new sport, giving yourself a spa relaxation day, or buying a cute new top), and spending lots of time with your friends. However, what you should do is confront him about the stuff he writes on his FB about you. In person, tell him seriously that you are not together anymore and he has no right posting about you online. Tell him it makes you uncomfortable and you'd like him to stop, right now. Be firm on this one! <3

Mod mod mod!!! My crush was my best friend and then he said that he likes me and I told him I like him back. He was really happy about it, and I guess I am too, but I don't know. Things are all awkward between us now, and I want to go back to being just friends. How can I tell him that?

 

 

Hey chica! I'd be honest with him sooner, rather than later. Let him know that while you do have feelings for him, you miss the way it used to be. He should understand, and it's likely that he may even feel the same way. If you do truly like him, though, I'd give it a little time. Every relationship is awkward at first!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! So I just got back from a two week trip to the United Nations. There were teenagers from Canada, the US, Switzerland and the Netherlands on my bus. We all got really close, especially this guy and I. I think I really like him, a lot. But he went back to Switzerland last week. We're keeping in touch over Facebook, but I don't think I'll ever really see him again. How can I stop myself from liking him? Thanks Smile Oh, p.s. On the second last day about 8 of us were playing Truth (like truth or dare but everyone has to answer the question and there aren't any dares), and someone asked "if you were forced to marry someone on this trip who would it be?" He chose me, and I chose him... Help??

 

 

Hey girly! I'd keep in touch, and then one day, go visit! Or, have him come visit here. It's definitely possible! One of my closest friends lives in central Mexico. I've had a thing for him ever since he was an exchange student at my college, and I've been down to visit him. I know how you feel about missing him, and not knowing when you'll see him next. However, I promise, with time, it'll get easier! Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD thanks for your time i really like this boy and i might possibly love him .one day i told him i like him and he said he liked me back .i asked him the next day before our student council if he still liked me he said yes,but later on that day at the zoo he said he didnt like me so i finished the day . on monday i asked why he said its better we stay friends (we have known each other since 1st grade)i asked if he liked me he said kinda and then on the last day he said he didnt like me because i joked about him claiming a chair i still like him and he's my facebook friend so i wanted to message him: i know you'll hate this song and me but i feel this way still sorry . so thank for time should i send it please respond soon and i cant get over him i think messageing this is like telling i love him thxs




Hey girlie,

This is definitely a grand gesture and it's sweet of you to think of it, but it sounds like he's going back and forth for more reasons than just the joking around. It sounds like he's hesitant to crush on you and date you because he doesn't want to ruin the friendship you've had for so long! So definitely Facebook message him and give him a heartfelt apology for that whole joking/teasing situation, but try not to push too hard. It's tough but ya gotta respect what he tells you and, if he finally decides it's better for you to stay friends, you have to respect those feelings too <3

Make a playlist of girl-power songs and songs that boys sing to girls when they love them, to make you feel better. Put on a fashion show in your prettiest clothes that make you happy. Sing until your throat hurts. Eat as much ice cream or sweets as you need. Give yourself a spa day. But most importantly, carry your head high, shoulders back, so you exude confidence. It will totes make him regret breaking up with such a self-assured girl.

Now, here's something you should never do: beg the boy to get back with you. Don't. If the guy was a jerk enough to break up with you, you don't need him anyways.

Don't change yourself into some clone of the popular girls to get him back. If he can't accept you the way you are, then he does not deserve an amazing guy like you.

And, focusing on keeping your mind away from him and doing other stuff will help. Flirt with other guys in front of him- show him that you were the best thing that ever happened to him, and he just lost the best girl!!!

The Best Way To Get over A break Up is Not cleaning youur Room or Hitting Books. No It's About you having FUN showing Him that your great and fine without Him. Show Him that you don't care anymore or Didnt care at all. The best Way to Get your Ex back or make him Jealous is To Get more attention Then he usally does or Talk to a new guy and make sure your ex is right there. If anyone say OMG josh broke up with you. You say No he Lost His Dream. MOVE ON. There plenty of Guys out there that are better than that. Just search To find the right Guy. Trust Me On this One. Smile

I really want to keep him as my best friend, but I think I want to he's in NY right now (I'm in Ca) and I find myself openly flirting with other guys and I feel guilty, at the same time. Maybe I'm not "girlfriend" girl? What if I'm "dating" girl? My friends say I just haven't found the right one yet... I j need some advice on what to d

 

 

Hey girly girl! It sounds like your friends are right on this one. I used to have this issue when I dated guys, too. However, I promise you, when the right guy comes alone, you'll know, and you won't want to break up with him! As you get older, commitment won't seem as weird and nervewracking as it does now Smile

hey girlie,

Talk to your BFF and clear things up--tell her what you and your ex's relationship is like now and tell her not to worry (and don't give her anything to worry about).  If it still makes her uncomfortable, then you may have to pull away a bit from your ex for their relationship's sake (since he's not your bf anymore...). So talk to her!

**MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD** Okay so a week or two ago I was texting my BF and he told me that he was moving. I asked him where and he said "I'm moving to Ethiopia, in Africa." I didn't believe it, or at least I didn't want to. I asked him why and he said "I have family there that really needs our help." I asked him if he was ever coming back and he said "Probably not." I said "Please just tell me this is a joke." and he said "Sorry, I can't." I cried myself to sleep. Then, a few days ago he called me and said that he begged his mom to stay, and she said yes. I was sooo thrilled, you wouldn't believe it. But then tonight, my friend texted me and said that he told her goodbye. She asked what he meant and he said "Goodbye, have a nice life cuz I'm leaving. My flight is in an hour." I just texted him and he's being all evasive and trying to avoid my questions. I'm confused and so, so scared. What if I don't get to say goodbye??? HELP!!!!!!!

 

 

Hey chica! I'd take this with a grain of salt for now... it seems like he's changing his story a lot. If by chance he is leaving, you can always still talk to him online, and someday you can visit him!

Hey girlie. I think you said it yourself that you're "not ready to get heartbroken." Go with that. He clearly didn't realize what he had and how do you know that he won't do it again?

My boyfriend cheated on me. He even admitted it. But I really liked him. We were dating ALMOST two months, and then he just stopped talking to me. And finally when he did he wanted to end it. Because he couldn't take the guilt. I talked to his best friend in the hallways and he said that my boyfriend didn't even feel guilty and that it was totally worth it. But I don't really wanna break up. What should I do?




Hey girlie. Although you really liked him and didn't want to break up, try thinking of it as you are too good for him- because you are! You don't deserve to be cheated on. You will find someone who will never cheat on you and treat you like a princess.

Everyone at school thinks they are going out, even a teacher asked them if they were! SO why cant her crush like her????? She was trying to get over him because he didnt return her feelings, but she is still crushing on him!!! She even told him about her feelings!!!I think he is such a jerk to be flirting with her everyday, but then wont even go out with her!!! She is asking me for advice, but i dont really know what else to tell her!!!! Help plz!!!




Thats a tough situation. I think the best thing for her is to stop flirting with him so much. Its just going to hurt more the more she does. By removing herself from his presence that will help her move on. Also maybe just maybe by not hanging around him so much he'll realize how much he likes having her around or something. But yeah she should stop hanging out with him so much. xoxo kerra

MODMOD!!Whenever i sit next to a boy in class i end up liking him but when class is over and i don't see him anymore we don't even know each other are there. My friends all have boyfriends and i'm really jealous of them but i've never had a boyfriend before. I have high standards for my first boyfriend and i don't know how to lower them, my mind is set on one thing. I don't want to look back and regret ever dating that person first. HELP!




Hey girlie, if your concern is keeping in touch with your crush, try getting to know him during class. That way he won't just be the guy sitting next to you, but someone you can talk to Smile

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for three months. And I never felt this way about a guy so fast. He makes me feel so spechial. But of course he has a couple flaws. He loves to party and he goes to huge parties with drinking every weekend. His friend told me a couple of weekends ago he got drunk and cheated on me. (his friend lies alot and He also likes me) and now more people are sayign he cheated on me! When I ask him he says he loves me and he could never do it. But I always see pretty girls writing on his facebook wall. And he is super secretive with his phone, but he always goes thru mine. And lately he has been super moody. Now his two bestfriends are saying he cheated.. What do you think I should do?




Hey girl, I think if he's going through your phone, you have every right to go through his. It sounds like there might be some merit to what his friends are saying, but remember, it's important to let your guy defend himself: innocent until proven guilty. Don't let him go through your phone and tell him you need to talk to him. It sounds like above all you're having trust issues, and you need to sort those out. And if he won't? It may just be time to leave him behind as hard as it is. With his partying path, it sounds like he isn't going to the best place anyway.

Okayy so about a week ago, my boyfriend (of almost five months) texted me and said that he's been thinking & he doesn't know if we're still right for each other. When I called him that night, it ended with him saying he wonders if he still loves me or not after he went off on the whole "it's not you, it's me" tangent. He's been texting me and calling me all week like he normally does, although he's acting really strange and I can tell he's being kinda reserved. Last night my friend texted him something that really pissed him off and now he won't talk to me.
He has a tendency to be really sensitive and overreact about a lot of stuff but I REALLY don't want to lose him. We're perfect for each other... Or at least I thought.
Any thoughts on what's going on or what I should do?
Thanks.




Hey girlie. This is definitely a convo you need to have with him. Talk with him to see why he thinks this and what changed. Tell him that you still feel the same way about him and don't want to lose him. Good luck!

MOD MOD MOD! My BF dumped me after 3 and a half months. He was my first love and it totally caught me off guard. He couldn't even say it to my face! He had to text me instead. Just when I was starting to feel better, he completely stabbed me in the back and tried to ruin my relationship with one of my best friends! Why would he do that! I never did ANYTHING to hurt him, but for some reason he just keeps hurting me. And I still can't get over him! I need to get past this! help

 

 

Hey girly! This guy sounds like a complete JERK! If you feel comfortable doing it, I'd confront him about everything and ask what his deal is. Make it clear that you do not want to get back together with him, but don't understsand why he's trying to sabatage you. If he's nice and sweet again... don't fall for it. Avoid him as much as possible, and make sure to surround yourself with friends and other people who love and care about you. Also, keep busy, so that you have less time to think about him. Trust me girly... you are WAY better off without him.

My ex bf and I broke up over 3 weeks ago. We dated for almost 11 months and were super close. Things ended really quickly (I'm still fuzzy on what happened) and we haven't spoken since. Some of our mutual friends have tried to get him to talk to me, but that tended to end badly with him getting upset. He said at one point that he was tired of not talking to me, but he still hasn't said anything. I'd break the silence myself but I'm trying to give him space and time to think. I really miss talking to him even though I don't regret the break up. How long should I keep waiting before I try to move on?

Bonjour chicky! The time it takes to get over a break up depends on the individual - for some it takes weeks, others months. If you need some tools to help in the healing process try these out: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/03/05/5-healthy-ways-to-get-over-him.aspx

so my boyfriend (now ex) and i broke up last thursday...he dumped me outta
nowhere and is being a total jerk. i've talked to so many people about it....they
say it's the way a guy does when he's newly single...that he still really cares
about you, but is trying to convince himself otherwise, which supposedly won't
work. is this true?




Hey girl,

Guys act all different ways after a break up, depending on their individual personality. It could be this way, but it could also be that he just wants to put distance between you two so he can get on with things. Whatever the reason, it's not worth trying to analyze his behavior and hoping he comes back. Instead, focus on your friends and your hobbies. Stay busy and, when it feels ok to do so again, keep an open mind about potential new crushes Smile No break up is easy - trust me, I understand that one. But the best way to pick up the pieces and move on is to show yourself you can be happy without him, not dwelling on it <3

Hey girlie,




He might be going through some personal stuff and can't handle dating or being in a relationship with someone.  Maybe he thinks that being with someone may mean more drama in his life that he just can't handle right now.  Let him know that you apologize for the fight and that you're not always mad (since you were acting that way because of that "time of the month," right?).  Prove to him that you can be a good friend and drama free.  If he likes you, he will make an effort to get in touch with you and make things happen.  Just do your part and see what happens!

my ex broke up with me back in November and I'm over him by now, we wanted to stay friends but he wouldn't talk to me when I tried so I figured it just wouldn't happen. Well up until last Friday he came up to me and said, "I need to talk to you." He was being all friendly and asking me who the person was that was bugging me (apparently one of my friends told him that some guy I know has been annoying me lately and my ex decided to finally talk to me.) It's as if now, after about 4 months of not saying a word to me, now he wants to be in my life again. My parents told me not to be his friend but deep down inside...I still want him to be in my life, he's a nice guy and very sensitive but...I don't know what to do anymore. Please help me!

He doesn't her as anything more than a friend and her told her that but she won't give up .




Hey chica. Sometimes you just have to let everything fall into place on its own. Since the guy doesn't see her as more than a friend, she will eventually get the picture.

Hey chica! It's possible that he may think you're pretty awesome, and may like you as a friend. Or, he could be a flirt. I'd be careful though, since he does have a gf. Keep talking to him and building a friendship!

I think maybe you should tell her you like him. See what she says. If shes super mad then maybe you should avoid it. Drama is never good. However if shes just a bit upset then do what you would like because youre not too close to her. Its a tough situation but when you tell her youll know what to do after that. xoxo kerra

hey girlie,

I think you should talk to him!  Figure out what you guys want, whether it's a relationship (again) or just a friendship.  Don't linger in the territory where you don't really know, or else someone will get hurt (whether it's you, him, or your friend that likes him).  You guys can avoid drama by being clear about your intentions and feelings!

hey girlie,

Sounds like he's a great guy, but it's very important that you talk to your friend!  What were some of the reasons for their break up?  Is there something you should be careful about?  Make sure he's not known to be a cheater or treats people badly.  Hopefully he proves himself to genuinely be a good guy that he will be worthy of you!

Don't worry so much about getting a boyfriend right now.  Honestly, these things will naturally happen in your life.  I know there may be a lot of pressure, but at this age it's important to figure out who you are and what you like and what your hobbies are.  Learn to feel comfortable in your body and maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle!

I know it can be weird when there's a new addition to the group, but if your best guy friend likes something about her, you should give her a chance.

ok i kinda like this one guy, and my friends think he likes me too. the problem is hes kind of a jerk. not towards me, but he told one guy with an accent to go kiss a guy, and he called my friend little emo girl and told her to go cut herself. but he really seems like he likes me and i kinda like him, and i need a date to the 8th grade dance. its in about 3 weeks. should i just ignore the fact that he can be mean or should i find someone else? if so, how can i meet other guys? he needs to be at my school.




Hey Girlie! How a guy treats others says a lot about him, so if he isn't treating others nicely, he's probably not the best person to hang out with.  He doesn't seem like a guy with great character, so move on to someone else who will treat you AND your friends with respect.  You can meet many great people when you get involved in different extracurricular activities or clubs...or just through different friends.  But most importantly, don't worry so much about finding a date to the dance.  Just think about having a good time, even if it's just with a group of fun girlfriends.  In the end it's not which guy you went with that counts, but how much fun you had!

We used to have two classes together, and in the first class we would always talk and people would make fun of us saying we were flirting. When they said that he should ask me out his face got all red, and he said that "he wouldn't let that happen." then when they wouldn't stop he made gagging noises. and in the second class we would talk all the time too. but now hes not in my second class and we don't sit by eachother in the first because we have new assigned seats. but now after about 3 months of not really having anything to do with each other, he's starting to stare at me a lot, when we 'popcorn' read he calls o me, and talk to me. and when i would flirt back he will blush. my friends say he likes me but from the comments earlier i'm not sure. sorry it's so long!
