Is it time to break up with your BF?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost a year, but I’m just not that into our relationship anymore. Should I see if things get better since we’ve been together for so long, or just break up with him?


Hey girl! If you’re not into your relationship, there’s no reason to stay in it. You’re still super young, and you’ll have the chance to meet tons more guys down the road. Plus, if you end things with your BF on a good note, there’s still a chance you can get back together again later.


Since it seems like you two get along pretty well but you’re not sure if you’re interested in him romantically anymore, there’s no harm in staying friends with him after the breakup, as long as he’s okay with that. If you both decide you want to get back together, you’ll still have that option, and if not, you won’t have lost someone you were so close with.


You don’t have to jump back into the dating pool right away since you were together for so long, but there’s no harm in scoping out some new guys, either! Without a relationship, you’ll probably have a lot more time to spend with your friends, both girls and guys, so if that leads to a new cutie, go for it! Otherwise, enjoy the single life, and romance will work itself out when you’re ready for a relationship.

Okay i really need your help. I am currently in a relationship that i really do not want to be in. He's a really really sweet guy, i just dont have feelings for him. Im a super busy girl, a junior higher thats involved in everything possible. Im tired of not being able to have alone time because he always wants to hang around me, it really bugs me how clingly he is. I still have a lot of feelings for my ex boyfriend and we're talking again, i know its bad but I just want to be by myself for a while so i can be me. He's a good guy and i dont want to hurt him, is there an easy way to end it??? or should i not end it?? what would you do??
thank you-
Savannah




Hey Savannah,

Breakups are always hard, but you should never feel guilty because you have lost that "spark" in a relationship. If you're not feeling it anymore, it's better to be honest and break up than lead him on. That way, you can BOTH try to be happy again sooner...and you don't waste any more of his time. If you're absolutely sure this is what you want to do, you have to do it in person. Sit down and tell him the truth: you have a lot on your plate right now and you don't have enough time to give him the attention he deserves. Tell him you need to focus on school and your other responsibilities right now and you feel so bad, but you know it's for the best to be on your own right now. Tell him he is a great guy and you'd love to stay friends. Be strong but also gentle when you tell him - it won't be easy, but if you're unhappy then it's the right thing to do <3

My BF and I planned the perfect kiss at our local rec center. However, turns out neither of us could go. I'm going to his basketball game tomorrow. Should I kiss him there and how do I do it right? (Also, he was the one who first said that we should kiss.)




Hey babe,

You definitely want to get him one-on-one - don't just run up and smooch him for the first time in front of everyone! Try hanging around after the game (maybe text him to let him know you will be), then invite him to grab ice cream or some food. When you walk outside together, try getting next to him and holding hands/looping your arm through his. Then just lean in and go for it! You gotta find the right time so it doesn't feel unnatural or obnoxious, but also spontaneous. You'll probably feel those butterflies because first kisses are always nerve-wracking, but take a deep breath and you'll be fine!!

Hey (: Alright so Im 13 and Im not allowed to date. Well, my friend whos a guy told me he really likes me and asked me to the dance, i said maybe. He jokes aroud a lot and tells me he loves me. His friends are always asking me if I like him, I obviously just tell them to lay off. But I guess one of my/his friends told him that I like him, which I do. I REALLY like him. Everyone says we should go out and people say hes going to ask me out. I know your going to say dont go against what yout parents say. If we do date, I dont want him to say stuff about me being his girlfriend on facebook because my mom will see it :/
Thanks sooooooooooooo much!!!
-Molly




Hey Molly,

If you're not allowed to date, you're not allowed to date. But maybe mom and dad will have some exceptions for school functions like dances, where there are chaperones! Try telling them you know this really sweet, respectful, responsible guy who asked you to the dance. Tell them you haven't answered yet because you respect them and wanted to ask them first. Tell them you totally understand their rules for not dating just yet, but the dance is a pretty safe place because there will be tons of adults to watch out for you. Share how excited you are and calmly ask them if, just this once, you could sorta bend the rules. Be honest about it - good luck girl! <3

So the Mardi Gra Dance is coming up at my high school. But girls have to ask the guys for dates. I don't mind, I already have a guy I'm gonna ask and that I know will say yes. What are some cute ways to ask him to the dance? Or should I just ask him casually?




Hey girlie,

Ohhhh, do we have the article for you! Click on the link below for 5 super cute ideas to ask him to the dance! Choose based on what your friendship/relationship is like - relaxed, romantic, flirty, unexpected, etc. If you're both more down-to-earth and simple, a casual ask will do the trick. But it could be fun to mix things up! Smile

Mod! my bf sounds fun over the phone but in person he's just boring. I don't want to break his heart because he went through alot of stuff in the past. I just go along with what he says and he doesn't take what i say seriously, he always thinks it's a joke. HELP!!!!!!! Please I really need it.




Hey girl,

You can't stay with someone just because you're afraid of hurting him! You need to make some changes in this relationship or let him go, so both of you can move on and be happy. First, try spicing things up by going on new dates and asking him new questions about himself/his interests. Talking about stuff that he LOVES could really get him to open up! <3
