My BF flirts with other girls on Facebook--should I dump him?


 

Check these out, too...

  • 16 fun in the sun summertime dates
I’m 13 years old and I have a boyfriend. He flirts with other girls on Facebook. I don’t know if he flirts with them face-to-face because we don't go to the same school. I don't know if I should continue my relationship with him. My mom tells me not to date. (She doesn't know I'm dating.) But whenever I break up with my BF she gets all mad and upset. (We broke up one other time.) Help please!

 

Hey chica!  You should be able to trust your dude, and if he is constantly flirting with other girls where you can see him (like on Facebook), he might be flirting with them when he’s away from you.  Is this a problem you had last time you two dated?  If so, he isn’t respecting you the way he should.  Plus, if you are always worried about if he’s flirting with other girls, where’s the fun in the relationship?  Talk to your guy. If he refuses to stop flirting, it’s a sign he is definitely not the one for you, and you should probably end your relationship (for good, this time!).
 
As for your mom, I’m sure she’s just worried that you aren’t talking to her enough and that you weren’t more honest with her.  She was probably not upset about you breaking up with your BF, but worried that you kept your relationship a secret from her. If you want your mom to be chill with you dating, apologize for not telling her and calmly talk to her about what dating and boyfriends mean to you.  You two might be able to find a compromise that makes both of you happy for future situations.  If she still doesn’t approve, nix the secret relationships and wait until she gives the OK.

I really like this guy and I think he's mad at me. I kinda made him jealous by saying how this one guy I knew was really cute and super sweet. I could tell he was jealous because he started stuttering and his face got red but now he's doing it to me! he was hanging out with this one girl and when he saw me looking at them he gave me this smile like he was saying "now it's my turn". I just gave him that "WHAT?!" look and he smiled agian and walked off with her. I know he doesn't like her because like a week ago he told me he thought she was annoying and I know I shouldn't have made him jealous and I feel super bad but I don't know how to fix it! HELP! sorry this is so long. Frown




Hey girlie,

I think it might be time to spill the beans about your crush on him! You're both playing these games now to get the other one jealous - which is a form of flirting, even though it's hurting you both. So now, it could either go one of two ways: 1) you keep trying to make each other jealous and eventually you grow apart, or 2) you try talking to him one-on-one and telling him the truth. Try something like, "I'm sorry if I made you mad before with what I said. But the truth is, I like you." Short and to the point. I know it sounds scary, but he's responding to your comment because it made him upset... sooo there's a pretty good chance he likes you back. <3

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

My bf and I almost broke up, we didnt though. We love eachother, but now I'm scared of what will happen if we break up. My bf and I are really good friends, and we're friends with all the same people. I dont know what to do or what to think.

 

Hey girl,

You two are still together, and it will only make things worse if you keep thinking about what will happen once you break up. Instead, enjoy the time you two have together. When/If you do eventually break up, you can make it a friendly break up where you both still hangout in the same friend group and stay friends. There's no need to worry--enjoy your boo while you can!

MOD MOD MOD MOD PLEASE HELP!!
Okay so Im 12 and I have a BF. We started going out not long after school went out. Well now according to my friend he changed his Facebook status to single. Should this mean anything to me??? What should I do? Oh and I dont have any contact with him because I dont have a phone or Facebook or anything.







  1.  Hey girl,

  2. I wouldn't do anything for now. You don't know anything firsthand since you don't have a Facebook. For instance, maybe it's always been set to single and he just never changed it (boys don't always pay attention to that stuff). However, it's not good that you don't have ANY contact with him...doesn't sound like much of a BF to me. If you don't ever see him or talk to him, that's not really a relationship. If your friend notices that he is flirting online with other girls, that's another issue entirely. For now, I would forget about his status online and just focus on actually spending time with him! When you finally do hang out, you can always bring it up if it's really bothering you.

Okay so im dating a guy and we've been dating for quite a short time and he already seems like hes not my type. Well i met this one guy who is extremly nice and sweet and he seems like my type but idk if i should dump my bf for him or not because my bf really likes me...like im not even joking! But this other guy...im totally falling for. HELP ME! thxxSmile




Hey girl,

Don't worry about whether your BF likes you, or if he'll be hurt when you break up, or whatever. The most important thing right now is do YOU like HIM? If the answer is no, then you owe it to him (and to yourself) to be honest about it. You don't deserve to fake your way through a relationship - and he doesn't deserve to have someone waste his time when they don't like him back. Makes sense, right? Even though breaking up is kinda awkward and might make him upset at first, it'll be better for you both in the long run. But make sure you're not breaking up with him just because someone else caught your eye. It's normal for our eyes to wander a little bit, but if you're constantly getting bored after a month or so ... then maybe you should be single for a bit and figure out exactly what you want <3

the last time i saw my guy friend/crush he told me to "hit him up sometime" to hang out. how should i and what should i ask him to do? and did he mean just the 2 of us or in a group?




Hey girlie,

It's hard to tell exactly what he meant by that, but it was definitely an invitation to hang out...which is awesome! Personally, I would either send him a text or start a Facebook chat convo with him. Just a simple, "Hey! What's up?" will start the convo, and then you can work up to suggesting a movie, bowling, a concert, etc. If he wants to go in a group, he'll suggest it. If not, it could just be the 2 of you. Either way, you'll be trying something new and making the first move - which is great! Give it a try! Smile

This depends on what you consider flirting. If he's being friendly with a lot of other girls, it may just be his personality, which is a good thing. But if it seems like he's really interested in other girls, then break up with him.

I have a slight prob. I have these BFf- lets call her Meg- and she is fun but loud, tomboyish, blunt, and bossy. While she has proven to be loyal she also happens to drive me crazy. I'm going to summer camp with her and my other BFF ( lets call her Ann). Ann and I have already done this 'who watches her when' thing cause we believe Meg will do something crazy. Even when we went shopping once it was like this! I don't want to be mean but she drives me off the wall sometimes. Please help!




Hey girlie,

Part of being a "best friend" is accepting your friend for who she is naturally. It's loving her personality and being tolerant even when she isn't everything you hope she would be. So try to find that line between her being herself and her being over the top. Whenever she's hurting someone (like being bossy, or too upfront), it's smart to speak up. Say it in a calm but direct way - "Hey, you know when you said ___? It kinda hurt a little bit." But when she's being loud and a tomboy, that's just who she is! Even if it embarrasses you a little bit, it's not wrong. So be patient and try to keep that in mind <3

Theres this guy I like and have liked since second grade. He liked me too. But then my best friend (his best friends girlfriend) told him I liked him. Then I guess he stopped liking me? How did that happen??? Also I really want to text him and be all flirty but his mom checks his phone and he gets it taken away if he deletes his messages. Should I go for it and text him? And why did he stop liking me once he knew I liked him?
P.S. Our families are great friends and we hang out all the time over the summer.

 

Hey! Some guys just like the thrill of the chase. maybe he became less interested when he found out you like him because there was no mystery to it anymore. That's just a theory though it could be some other reason. I say go for it and text him Smile

So during the school year I had a crush on one of my guy friends. I never went for it though because I thought he didn't like me back and I was too scared. I thought I got over it because I haven't seen him since school ended. But yesterday one of my friends told me that their friend said that he did like me then. Now I just feel like crap because I didn't go for it and I feel like I missed my chance. I know that another girl likes him but the friend that told me said he doesn't think my crush likes her back. I still really like him, but I can't just bring that up out of the blue. I have his number but we don't really text. And I don't know if he still likes me. Any advice on how to connect again and how to bring this whole relationship crush thing up? Sorry it's complicating Tong Thanks so much!

 

Hey girl!

Since your friends seem to know this cutie too, get a bunch of kids together and hang out! Talk to him, get to know him, and you two can start texting and hanging out more often. Don't necessarily bring the relationship crush thing up, but definitely get your flirt on once you start to know him/feel more comfortable around him. If he did like you at one point, he'll most likely rekindle those feelings for ya!

MOD MOD MOD so me and bff are going to through a really rough patch! I went away for a week to spend the summer vacation at my aunt's place and while i was there she messaged me on facebook saying that I was a terrible friend and i couldn't be trusted. Well I still don't know why she is acting so weird and i felt really bad about it. Oh and now she's best friend with my ex (who actually cheated on me). So you see she is not being a very good friend but now she said she wants to talk and clear things. I'm not sure if i want to be best friends again...I mean I'm not comfortable with her hanging with my ex. What should i do? because i'm confused!! Thanks for reading this and helping me Smile




Hey girl!

I think you should sit down and talk to your friend because there are a few things you need to get cleared up. First, why did she message you out of the blue, saying you were a terrible friend? Did she explain why she felt that way? You need to demand an answer to that, because you don't deserve to be called a bad friend for no reason! Second, you need to explain to her that while she is allowed to be friends with whoever she wants, it makes you extremely uncomfortable that she has become good friends with your ex. That's just not fair to you, and it shows a lack of loyalty to you. If she can't understand where you're coming from, maybe you should take a step back and consider whether you truly want her as a best friend.

You're only 13. You have lots of time to learn. If you tell you're mom before you start dating that guy, she'll be more accepting. Talk to her about why you want to date. But, as for him, he's probably flirting with other girls in RL too! If you and a guy break-up, you should think very hard before getting back together. Think about why you broke up and if it is really a good idea. Trust issues? NO. He wasn't ready but is now ready top be with you or vice versa? YES. Trust me on this.

You should deftinely break up with this guy, and tell your mom. If you tell your mom now, then you might have a better time having bfs in the future and not have to sneak around forever. If you like this boy enough, try talking to him. Is he really flirting with other girls?
