How long should I wait for my ex?

I’m 13. My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. He says he still likes me a lot, but he just needs some “space” and “time.” I really, really like him, and I told him I’d wait ‘til he’s ready. But it’s been so long that I’m tired of waiting. I want to ask him about it, but if I do, he might find me annoying.
 

Dear Tired of Waiting,

Most breakups don’t come with tidy explanations. Rather than breaking up with you outright, he may have though it would be easier to say he needed time. Ha! Easier for him, not you. Please don’t wasted any more hours waiting for his text or call. Not only does waiting in the wings as Little Miss Available put you in an unflattering light, it’s eating up your valuable time. Get out there and laugh with friends, and remind yourself that you are too young and wonderful to be moping and hoping about one boy. If way down the road you two pick up where you left off, fine. For now though, don’t be sitting at the intersection wishing it would happen.

Okay, so I was just planning my 13th birthday. I was figuring out who I was going to invite, and I have guy friends, but I'm not really that keen on inviting them since I haven't been around them a ton lately. There's one really close guy friend I want to invite, but I don't want him to be the only dude. What should I do?




hey! Just invite a couple so he won't be the only one. maybe you can reconnect with some of them Smile

MODMODMODMOD Ok well I've been 'dating' this guy for about 3 months, but I haven't told my mom. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to date, and I'm worried she'll get mad. I was thinking about telling her this weekend when we go shopping but I think it will change how she sees me, you know? Like not as her little girl, and idk it feels weird. But theres another problem, it's a weird relationship, we haven't talked since school ended (not my choice I've been texting and messaging-no answer). So I don't want to tell my mom, ruin our relationship for something that isn't worth it. And even if she says thats fine I would feel embarrassed to tell her that we haven't talked...but I still feel bad for not telling her
**PLEAS HELP**
**THANK YOU SO MUCH!!**




Hey babe! You should tell you mom about the guy, she can even help with the talking problem. When you go shopping just tell her that you want to tell her something. Make your relationship sound less official than it actually is. Say something like, "So there's this guy who I hang out with a lot at school and we talk all the time. He's the one I keep going to movies (or the pool, or wherever you two go together) all the time. But now that school is over we don't really talk.." That way you're telling her about him and getting her advice about what to do. That way she won't be as surprised when you tell her it's officially a relationship. And if things don't work out between you and your BF then it doesn't matter. Good luck! xoxo

MODMODMOD !!!!
The other day one of your tips of the day on this website was to get celeb smooth skin was to use a moisturizer that you can turn over and it won't fall out. Im using the Mary Kay Velocity cleanser and moisturizer right now (my sis is a teacher and she needed a second job over summer) anyway the moisturizer is more gooie. Can I use the jergens cold cream with that or no?! Thanks!




Hey babe! I've never used Jergens, but if you can follow the turn-over rule, then it should be good. But you don't need to use both. Just stick with the one you can turn over. xoxo
