Help! My BF caught me snooping through his phone

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
I have a hard time trusting my boyfriend. I have no reason not to, but I’m so paranoid since I’ve been burned before. I went through his phone the other day to see if he got any texts from his ex, who I really don’t like, and he caught me. I apologized and meant it, but I can tell he’s still upset. How can I rebuild the trust?
 
Hey girlie! You and your dude are in the same boat: you’re both bummed that the other person doesn’t trust you.  The only way to fix it is to show him that you trust him, which in turn will make him feel better.  Once he sees the change in your attitude, he will relax and start to trust you again.  As much as it stinks, that’s going to require a lot of waiting.
 
Can you just not trust him, no matter how hard you wish you could?  Try to fake it ‘til you make it!  If he’s friends with his ex and wants to hang out with her, take a deep breath and let him.  It’ll be hard at first, but after a little while, you’ll see that he can be trusted.  You might not like her, but no one can dictate who their BF or GF should be friends with. 
 
As for his ex, is your problem with her or with the fact that she dated your dude?  If it’s the latter, you’re going to have to figure out a way to handle ex-girlfriends: they are everywhere!  If you don’t like her for her own reasons, try and focusing on coexisting- you don’t have to get along with her, but you should be able to have a relationship with your BF without worrying about her all the time.

HELP! I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON THIS BOY FOR YEARS AND YEARS NOW! I REALLY REALLY LIKE HIM BUT IT FEELS LIKE HE DOESN'T NOTICE ME... I'VE TRIED CATCHING HIS ATTENTION LATELY AND IT'S WORKING, BUT NOW HE'S GOING INTO HIGHSCHOOL AND I'M STILL STUCK IN THE 8TH GRADE AND NOW ALL MY HARD WORK IS GOING TO GO AWAY! ALSO, I HAVE NO WAY TO TALK TO HIM ANYMORE. I STILL SEE HIM AT CHURCH, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S A VERY GOOD TIME TO TRY TO FLIRT... IDK WHAT TO DO NOW CUZ I NEVER SEE HIM ANYMORE!!! I'M CLUELESS AND NEED HELP! PLEASE ANSWER, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

 

Hey girlie,

You still have the summer to get your flirt on! Next time in church, invite him to one of your friend's parties (with your friend's permission of course!) or ask him to help you out at the next church charity event. Once you two start hanging out, you can totally talk on the phone/text. Next year might be hard because you'll still be in middle school, but you can still talk and hangout on the weekends. The NEXT year, however, you'll both be in high school and you totally have a shot! Even this upcoming school year you never know what will happen! He might be really into you Smile

MOD MOD MOD!
I have this one friend, and she can be fun, and I sometimes love to hang out with her, but I feel like she isn't going to be my friend for a long time. She gossips about me, and she tells my secrets. I can't really trust her. Next year I am starting a new school (middle school) and I wonder, there WILL be a ton of new girls, should I be on the lookout for a friend who treats me like a friend and I enjoy being with, or should I just stick around with this other girl? Please help!

 

hey! yeah if she's a gossip and not that great, then be on the lookout for new pals

MOD MOD MOD HELP ME I HAD A BF OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT I DID AND WE WHERE PRETTY CLOSE THEN ONE DAY HE SAID THAT WE ARE JUST FRIENDS AND HE HAD HIS EYE ON ANOTHER GIRL SHOULD I BE OFFENDED OR AM I OVER REACTING HAHA

 

hey! I guess there just wasn't a lot of communication about y'all's  relationship, and that's hard. It seems like you just weren't on the same page, so try not to let it hurt too much and move on. you can do it!

**MOD!
So my boyfriend and I have been going out for over 3 months now and everything is pretty cool. One thing is that I sorta wanted to take it to the next level and make out since we'd been kissing since day one. So when i hinted at it, he sorta attempted but seemed like he didn't know what he was doing. When I offered, he responded with trying again, but still not knowing what to do so it didn't feel right. Finally we were walking out and he admitted "It's nothing to do with you, I just don't really like making out." My boyfriend has a big ego and when we were just besties he used to brag about how he has made out with many girls and that he loves it so i was kinda confused... Do you think he just doesn't know what to do so that's his cover? How can I fix it?
THANK YOU!!!! <3
PS. both 15/16 sophomores in HS idk if that was important just wanted to add it




Hey chicky, sounds like the typical guy - doesn't want to admit when he's afraid of something. He was probably just trying to impress you before you were going out by saying that he'd made out with lots of other girls. You should take it as a compliment that he is being honest with you about not liking to make out. And nobody likes something that they're not very good at, so that's understandable. He probably just needs some practice, which is why he has you. Be patient, and if you guys keep trying the whole make-out thing, he'll get better at it. Hopefully, he'll just follow your lead, and you can shape him up into a first-rate kisser.
