-MOD-
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years, and we're both Juniors in high school. He is truly an amazing guy, but lately I haven't been seeing much of the guy I fell in love at the beginning. He is super protective of me, like if I talk to one of my other guy friends he instantly is right there too. But he seems to ignore me when we go to parties together, or when we're at band practice. He always is talking to another girl, and I'm not the jealous type or anything, but he is just always with her. I think he likes her personality more than mine. She's super smart. He only comes over to me to kiss or hug me, and that's all I feel like he wants to do. We haven't had a regular conversation in a while; all it is is sexual talk and stuff. I have talked to him about the ignoring thing and he said he "would try harder not to". Please help :\ I have no idea what I should do...Thanks

It's totally normal for relationships to hit a "rut" around 2 years. You're starting to feel super comfortable with each other, so it's easy for both of you to stop trying. You start to wonder who you are without the other person - do you have your own life? Do you feel free to try new things, grow into a different person, meet new people? What was it like to be single...? You know? It's natural to have all these questions and to be imagining your life differently. That's probably what's happening here. That doesn't mean that either of you WANTS to break up - that just means that you've been doing the same thing for a while, so it's getting a little stale. First, talk to him about how you're feeling. Tell him you've felt like you were distant lately and you miss being close to him again - like going new places together, trying new foods, hanging out, and just getting to know each other. Ask him if he's willing to work a little on the relationship and help you mix things up. Then, actually commit to it - go on dates and try things that you have never done before, like a museum or a hobby or even just seeing a new movie and discussing it afterwards. Start working on your connection by showing each other that there is STILL a lot about each other you have to learn. Don't get bored If this doesn't work, it might just be that your relationship ran its course and you're both growing into different people. That happens to! But give it a try before you panic or give up!

Hey Icecreamluver, they aren't intentionally ignoring you, it's just that they have to respond to a lot of girls and they maybe haven't gotten to yours yet. I'll try to send an email for you too. Sorry you've been waiting so long, thanx for being patient! Xoxo

Please please please please please please help. I don't know what to do. Ok so the beach reads giveaway in June gave this book away called Reckless heart that I won. I never got it. It said u had to wait six weeks when I've been waiting 7-8. I emailed both trish and Brittany last week and I didn't get an answer. So I emailed them again this week on Sunday again and I still haven't gotten an answer from them yet. What if they don't answer again by the end of this week? What am I suppose to do? Then who am I suppose to email? Lynae P.
