Is my online relationship a good idea?

I have an online boyfriend. He is sweet, nice, funny and loves me. I know why people worry, but I’ve heard his voice and seen him when we video-chat. I love him, but how do I explain this to my family and friends?
 

Dear Online Girlfriend,

Online relationships worry people for good reasons. After all, many cyber guys are creeps and criminals. Emotional safety is also an issue. You and this boy have no even held hands, but you say you love each other. Even though you like his emails, you have no idea how he treats his sibs or chooses his friends or acts in school. Plus, you’ll feel hurt if your virtual crush logs off to hang with someone else. Save the L-word for a real-time relationship.

Hey girls, I need help with a problem I'm having. You see there's this guy at school I really like. He's kind considerate,funny, everything you'd want in a guy. The problem you ask is that there's another girl who also likes him. She talks about him ALL the time and says very inappropriate things about THEM as a joke. I really like this guy and I would be devastated if I lost him to this kind of girl. What should I do?

Mod Mod!! Thanks For Your Great Advice! Smile I Have One More Thing I Need Help With Please! I Really Like This Guy And in Really Shy So I Always End Up Doing Something Stupid Or Teasing Him And Not Being Sweet I'm Sweet It Just Doesn't Come Out When Im Around Him Because I'm Nervous So Do You Think I Can Redeem Myself? or Do You Think He Thinks In. A Total Creep? He Would Act Flirty Towards Me Putting his Hand On My Shoulder And Staring At Me He Noticed My New Hair And Told Me He Liked My Shirt And I wanna Flirt With him And Be Confident But I'm Sometimes Really Quiet And Don't Talk To Him Even Though I Know I Need To I Know Im The Problem So Please Tell me what I can do!! Thanks Mod!!




Hey girl, you're not the full problem; you're just a little lovesick. So just focus on being you for now and embrace your quirks. You may hate them but the guy you go with will love every single one.

xoxo
Alyssa B.

My BF Ryan goes to a different school than me. We know eachother from Sunday School and his friend, Jasmine (who's also my friend now) who goes to his school has told me things like how Ryan never talks about me and how I'd look cuter with Ryan's best friend. When I told my BFF she said she's probably just lying to break us up because everyone at their school knows Jasmine likes him. And then when I told my older sister she agreed with my BFF and said if he doesn't talk about me to Jasmine he most likely talks about me to his friends because guys will usually get a girlfriend and brag about her to their friends. It's started to get em to think that Jasmine's trying to break Ryan and I up so SHE can have him. My sister said just wait a week or 2 after their school starts and see what happens. What should I do? Please help!

Hey, Girl! Sorry for the “stock” message. We’re psyched you’re here but since this is a super busy time, mods aren’t able to answer personal advice or contest questions. We’re approving your comments now so the girls can start offering feedback right away! If you still have questions, please come back, we’re happy to help…or just let the other chicas answer now! (They give awesome advice, trust us!) Love and thanks! ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes
