My BF says he's gay. Should I believe him?


 

Check these out, too...

  • How to deal with a bad kisser
Last night my BF dumped me over Facebook. When I asked why he said it was because he is gay. If he's gay than why did he go out with me? Should I believe him?

 

Hey girl! It comes down to how he said it. If he was being really short with you and not being gentle with the news, you know he was probably just trying to cover up his embarrassment at dumping you so suddenly and in such a rude way. Guys use inappropriate terms sometimes to take attention away from their actions and put it on the bad words; that way, they’re less accountable for the mean stuff they just did.

 

But if he seemed shy and he wouldn’t talk to you after, or especially if he said that it was a secret, don’t explode at him. Sexual preferences are noticeable at a different age in everyone. He may have really liked you until he started feeling other things – and that’s totally fine! He might be nervous about being accepted, because many times LGBT teens are bullied and can get really stressed out just by interactions with others at school.

 

If you can’t tell, try to talk to him about it. Don’t fume for about a week (that way he’ll have calmed down, too), and then surprise him by being nice and asking what’s up. If he lets the conversation continue, bring up what he said. It’d be best to do this in person to make sure you’re able to gauge his reactions, but if you have to, over the phone or online is okay, too. Be sensitive, and don’t push a topic if you think it’ll make him too uncomfortable. Good luck, girl!

I went to the movies with my friend her boyfriend and his friend... I have been texting this kid for a while but seeing him the first time was awkward I was sooooo nervous because I like him A LOT. When we were walking up the stairs to sit... I FELL! I was so embarrassed.. I was shaking and I felt like I blacked out because I barley remember it.. The boy is still talking
And we acted like it never happened. Ugh.
I wish I could redo it! What soo I do to stop thinking about it!?

 

Hey cutie!

Totally don't worry about it! Your boy is still chattin you up so you obviously didn't do anything that made him back off! Maybe he thought your embarrassing fall was cute! I totally get that you were embarrassed by falling, but try simply laughing it off next time. While you may be thinking about it for the next few weeks, those around you will most likely forget about it within a few hours...guaranteed!!

I'm in high school and I'm terrified of talking to cute guys. Help! What do I do?




Hey girl!

It's totally OK to be nervous about talking to cute guys. The best way to go about it is to talk to them in comfortable situations: in science class during a lab experiment, at lunch, or at your lockers. If you get the courage to do it just once, you'll gain the confidence to keep doing it.

Well honestly if he is then girlie you'll just have to respect it. I agree, you never know he could've really liked you and just started to have those feelings. Ask him to be friends. Smile

My friend is an asexual (not attracted to anyone) and I have a awesome friend who is a lesbian. I support them both. Sexuality doesn't define a person or determine what kind of person they are.
My advice to the girl is don't tell people that he's gay until he says you can. Just be there for for him,if he is gay. If he's not, it's okay to be mad at him. You may feel fustrated and maybe kinda confused, that's okay. You def shouldn't blame yourself.(I know people do that.) Good luck and best wishes to both you and him!
