GUYS | GET A BF

Long distance love


It’s official, your BF’s moving away. And things are totally about to change. They say long distance relationships never work out, but you don’t want to break up. Ugh.

Before you say sayonara, why not give it a chance. Being apart might seem like the end of the world but, trust us, it doesn’t have to be the end of your romance. Here are our biggest Dos and Don’ts for couples that want to go the distance…literally.

DO embrace your independence
Bonus! Him moving means you get more time for yourself. Spend it wisely by getting closer with friends, trying a new activity or doing things ya love. Gone are the days when you’ll have to pretend to follow baseball. This time is for YOU.

DO make time for each other
Your schedule’s so crazy between school, a job, family obligations. It’s time to put those super-scheduling skills to the test.  Whether it’s chatting on the phone, video chatting while eating dinner or texting throughout the day, making time to talk is a must.

DO stick out rough patches
We’re not gonna lie, long distance relationships aren’t easy. You’ll fight, cry and probably wonder if it’s even going to last at points. But here’s the silver lining on that ugly, gray storm cloud: The hard times will make you two even stronger. Always remember to keep your chin up.

DON’T get jealous
Your BF’s in a new town and he spent the whole day with new friends. You’re so happy for him…until he tells you their names: Katie, Sarah and Nicole. Uh oh. When other girls are spending more time with your BF than you are, it’s hard not to get a tad green with envy. But remember, while he may like them as friends, he’s dating Y-O-U for a reason.  Trust him.

DON’T be clingy
While you should make time for him, don’t make it ALL of your time. Talking all day, everyday and visiting him every weekend will just be overkill. With a little space, you’ll cherish your time together even more.

DON’T let it get boring
When you aren’t seeing each other as often, things can get pretty routine. Mix things up by calling or sending a cute text unexpectedly. Keep the romance alive by sending an ol’ fashioned love letter or ship him a batch of his fave double fudge brownies. Spontaneity will keep the sparks there. Promise!

Have you ever dealt with a long distance relationship? Blog about it, babes.

MOD!
Well, I've known this kid since we were like 8 and now he's moved about 8 hours away. We talk non-stop and we are on Skype every chance we get. We've had feelings for each other for forever and we always talk about how perfect we are for each other and we've said we want to get married. Yesterday, he told me he loves me, and I said it back. I really do love him and I just don't know what to do since he lives so far away. What is your opinion on the situation? He says he wants to be in a long distance relationship with me, do you think it'll work??
Thanks! Smile




Hey girl, honestly, I think long distance relationships are very hard to make work when you never see each other. I think especially because he's so far it's unfair to enter one and keep each other from seeing what's truly around you (or who). If someday you're both single and in the same place, I'd say go for it without hesitation. But right now? I think it's best to stay friends.

I live on an island, and my bf and one of my friends might transfer to another school this summer. They will be competing in an opposite show choir, and she has a major crush on him. I love him so much! How can we see eachother? (Its a long drive to the other side of the island) Thanx!

MOD MOD MOD so, my friend gave me this number of a guy who lives 1 hour away from me b/c she knows him and said he was lonely. I started texting him, and after 10 minutes, he said he really liked me, 5 minutes after he said he was falling in love with me, and the next text after that he said he wanted me to be his wife! He's also told me he has severe depression and has attempted suicide 3 times. I'm scared because I have never met him so personally, I can't say I love him back, but he gets sad if I avoid the subject of our "perfect coupleness." He is also my first boyfriend, so I have no experience. Is he dangerous because he's moving this fast, just trying to be a good boyfriend, or sincerely has "love at first text"? help please, thank you Smile

 

 

Hey chica! I'd definately be careful with this. Don't let him guilt you into being in a relationship with him. If you truly like him, then I'd proceed with caution, and be honest with him. Let him know that he's moving wayyy too fast. Find out how your friend knows him, and if he's ok, or shady.

Im 10, but my boobs started growing when I was eight. I feel that I should where a padded bra, but all my mom gives me are training bras. I dont like those. So I just where Camisoles all the time. How do I get my mom 2 buy me padded bras?




Go shopping with her and show her the bras you like! You may need to compromise with her but im sure if you show her what you want she'll get you it. xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD!!! So my boyfriend and I have dated for 4 months now, and his mom is very sick in the hospital. His family is running out of money and they might have to move to another state with his relatives!!! What do I do? I want to stay in a relationship, but he said if he moved we wouldn't be. Is there a way to make him stay with me? I really don't want to lose him! I will be able to drive soon, so we would be able to visit each other occasionally because he is only moving to the state under mine. What should I do!




hey girlie,

That sounds like a tough situation! Cherish what you have now, but don't try to hold on to it forever.  If you two are meant to be together, then things may work out in the future.  But if he has to move, then be okay with the fact that you guys may need to move on and see other people--you guys are still young, so enjoy meeting new people and don't think so much about just making it work forever with one guy at this point!

MOD MOD MOD! I started a long distance relationship! things started out really good we would always text and call each other every time we would get a chance! we dated for three and half months! then certain problems came up! he said "he can't date me anymore because his mom doesn't want him to!" after that he said he talked to his mom and she said it was ok than things changed we would hardly text or call or even make time for each other! We spent are whole spring break together by phone which was amazing! After spring break he ended it he said "His mom doesn't want him to date!" I called i texted i really wanted to know if that was the truth and why couldn't he say it was over!? well my question is did i do something wrong? why can't i let it go? did i let myself fall short? and why did he bother asking me if he didn't want me in the first place? does he still care about us or are we over and no bother even being friends? Please help me thank you so much!

Bonjour chicky! All girls fall for guys and when we fall, we fall hard! It's tough can we can no longer date a guy we really like, but you must know that it is not your fault. There are just some circumstances one can't help. I'm sure he did really want to date you since you guys had a great three months together but now that his mom is not allowing him to date, you'll just have to ask him to see if he will still like to remain friends. In the meantime though, here are some ways to de-crush that guy: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/03/05/5-healthy-ways-to-get-over-him.aspx

MODMODMOD!
Okay, so there's this guy I like. We're both in 7th grade and both VERY shy.We don't have any classes together, and I'm not trying to be mean, but he doesnt have many friends. He's SUPER athletic and runs really fast. We have PE the same period, just not the same teacher. I try to smile at him &sometimes I catch him staring at my eyes, but he doesn't seem to want to look me straight in the eye. We're going to different schools in 9th grade and I want to get to know him more, but I don't know how to break the ice, and I'm kinda scared to. How can we talk without making it seem awkward and tense, since we're both really shy? btw he doesn't have a facebook or online profile, but his brother (in 9th grade does). Could you please give specific examples?? THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!

so ive liked this guy for a loonnggg time.. but theres some problems.. 1) we work at the same place and we are around kids so the kids usually pick up with me trying to flirt with him 2) we have a 3-4 year diferance in age Frown i need help! ive liked him for a long time and now hes liking me but idk what i should do!
Thanks!!




Hey girlie. As far as the kids, don't worry about what they say. Kids will be kids. As far as the age gap- that's something you need to discuss with him to see if it is an issue. Besides that- I think you're on a roll. You like a guy who likes you! Just go with it and see what happens. Good luck!

Hey girly! First, you need to think about why you and your ex broke up. If he broke up with you, then you might want to forget him. However, if you're still friends with him, then I'd start off small and start hanging out again to see where it goes.

MOD MOD MOD! theres this guy at my school who i really like. hes a little strange, but so nice and funny, and my friends really like him (not in a like like way, but friendly way) and there trying to help me get him. i have a good feeling hes intreasted in me, and if i could i would date him. only prob tht makes me even nervous to talk to him? other kids. i go 2 a pretty small high school, and everyone knows everyone elses business, and im scared to be judged by other kids, cuz im kinda shy and nvr dated anyone at my school,(or even REALLY kissed anyone). so should i jst go ahead and talk to him? wat should i say if ppl question me/tease me? thnxxx <3333

 

 

Hey chica! I would definately go ahead and talk to him. You have nothing to lose. And, you never know what may come out of it. If people tease you, ignore them, no matter how hard it is. Laugh it off, and don't show that you're upset. Then, they'll lose interest Smile

MOD MOD MOD! Well, my mom wanted me to start homeschooling. I didn't want to because I don't really like her, but then she said I can go on a lot of big trips. I said yes, and I was getting bullied at school anyways. Well, these "trips" are basically still in Mass. where I live. That's it. She's going to Orange County today and Vegas in May. I asked if I could come along both times and she said no. I kept asking if I could go on a trip, and she finally said, "Tell you what, we can take a tour of Harvard." When I asked when, she said "later." The thing is, I go to Harvard a lot (one of my sister's go there) and I live in Boston, close by. When I reminded her of the promise she made, she told me that she had made no such promise. Finally, I guess I bugged her enough, but she said that she HAD made the promise but had no intention of following through. I then ignored her for a few days, and she grounded me. It's so unfair! What can I do?

 

 

Hey chica! Maybe, you could plan some trips yourself, and make a presentation for your mom with them. It'll probably really impress her. Plan some educational day trips within driving distance, and then put together a slidehow or powerpoint showing why they'd be great learning experiences Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! One of my best friends calls me 3 times a day and expects me to call her a lot to. I like her, but we run out of things to talk about and it is really awkward just sitting silently on the phone. I only like calling my friends when there is something new to talk about but she talks about the same stuff over and over and OVER. It's so annoying! I don't want to say I have to go as soon as she calls, but she calls so often! What do I do? BTW- We are really close so should I just explain it? But how?

 

 

Hey chica! Maybe you could mention to her that you're not much of a phone person, and that you're busy during the night. Let her know that you still love talking to her, but maybe you could only talk once a day, or every other day, unless something major happens.

Long distance love isnt that big of a problem. One of my friends bf moved away and they video chat and keep in touch by txting and talking on their phones. She says its not easy but they still have been able to stay close. I could see how chatting and using video cams could be a big help and it seems for them that it works. She says its like he is away on a long vacation.

I broke up with this one guy that I went out with for a couple of days because I decided that I really didn't like him in that kind of way anymore. He's really sweet and nice. I feel really bad. Is there anything I can do to help him or something?
Thanks




Hey girlie,


It's good that you were honest and didn't lead him on. Unfortunately there isn't much you can say that can make him feel better, but it would help if you gave him some space.  He just lost you (amazing you!) and he'll probably need some distance from you in order to move on!

Hey girlie,

You have to be honest with the guy that you aren't that into that you just want to stay friends.  Tell him what you do love about him but why you think you guys will be better off as friends.  Remember, don't hurt him by leading him on!

MOD! Okay, so I'm in the school play, SO IS MY CRUSH!!! We are in a scene together, but, he stands next to his best friend, Greg. They stand together, but I stand away from all the other girls, it's SUPER awkward for me to stand all by myself in the scene, and I really wanna stand with them/talk to them/act with them, but I don't know how to invite myself over to them without it being super awkward. Basically, how do I join in with them? We don't talk much, but we all have English together, should I play on that? Talk about the subject? How do I make it natural to join their clump? Thanks, Lucy

 

 

Hey chica! You could always mosey over towards them and start it out with a joke, laugh and say something like how awkward you feel standing there all by yourself, and then you can play on the class thing Smile
