The Real Deal: Is he just using you?


 

Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
  • Smooching secrets from real guys
  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
How do you know when a guy really likes a girl or is just "using" her? I'm fourteen now and I'm dating my crush since middle school. At first I felt like I scored because I finally got him. But now I'm just afraid he plans on "using" me like most teenage boys do in relationships.

 

His Answer: “Sometimes guys are insecure and don’t know how to show a girl that they really like her, so he may be nervous around you and not really know how to be in a relationship,” says Jack, 15. “But he could be using you if he pressures you into doing things you don’t want to do.” 

 

Decoded: It’s possible that you two just need to get to know each other better before you can get that cool relationship you want. What’s not cool? Feeling like he is pressuring you to do anything you’re not ready for. 

 

Your move: If he ever tries to make you do anything you’re not ready for, tell him you’re not okay with it. Your relationship is 50/50, you both should have an equal say in what happens. If he doesn’t respect that, dating him is so not worth it. Look for a cutie that is honest with you about why he likes you, and be honest with him too!

im only 11 turninng 12 july 24th 2012 and my boyfreind is like 14 and we dont talk much cuz he says hes busy but yet i heard that his life is really hard right now but i still dont know if he is just using me to have a girlfreind or he actually does like me
HELP ?!?!?

 

Hey girl,

You might want to confront your boo about this. If you two don't talk a lot, is it really even a worthwhile relationship? Call him or invite him over and explain that you like dating him and you like him, but you're not sure how he is feeling and you don't want to be a part of a relationship that's only one-sided. If he doesn't seem genuinely interested, move on. Otherwise, he might really have a lot going on and have a good explanation for the way he's been acting

So I am 14 going into 10th grade & I feel like a complete loser since I never had a bf or a my first kiss. I am so complicated like I want a real relationship not the ones that last like a month a real one. I want to be with someone who fits my qualities and I have a long list. I feel like it's because of my school's diversity. I am mixed(white, spanish & african american). But since my skin color is chocolate/carmel & most of the guys at my school are white I don't have a good chance. At my school you see no biracial couples. I don't care about color what so ever. I feel so behind. I think I'm pretty but i'm also short. I'm 4'11! I'm also known to talk A LOT and really fast. Are these all flaws? I am also nervous that when the time does come(getting a bf) I might not know how to kiss right or doing stuff right. Like what do u do when ur in a relationship besides kiss & hug? * What do u talk about? These questions I do need help in. Help! P.S. read word 4 word I have alot of ?'s. Thnx

 

Hey girl!

Don't worry, you're definitely NOT a loser. A lot of times girls are ready to get involved with boys, but the boys aren't! Boys don't mature as fast as girls so they still might not be into the whole "dating" thing. You just have to trust that you'll find someone, because trust me you will!! If you spot a cute guy at school, strike up a convo with him and get to know him! Flirt a little and be your awesome self, and he won't be able to stop noticing you! Slow down a little when you're talking, but talking a lot isn't a flaw! It shows that you're totally a people person and love to get to know everyone around you. When the time comes for your first kiss and first boyfriend, you're going to be nervous.

I like to text my crush A LOT. He knows I like him, but I don't know if he likes me. I've asked him who does he like and he always tells me no one. Last night, he told me that he didn't feel like texting. I feel really bad because I am kinda clinging to him. What should I do? -megagirrl

 

Hey girl!

Being too pushy and clingy can be a turn off to guys. If you really like him, you should be relaxed and calm about the whole situation. Stop texting him and see if he texts you. This will be a great test to see if he wants to talk to you or not. It sounds to me like he might be a little overwhelmed with all your texting, etc. Back off a little and see how he reacts.

So i have a TON of aeropostale shirts and the new school year is coming. I wanted to know if there was a way i could redo i guess you could say my shirts or a make-over for my shirts. Cause a shirt in many colors that just says "Aeropostale" gets boring if you know what i mean.PLEASE HELP!!!!!
THANKS ________Boypolar________




Hey girl,

My favorite way to change the look of a shirt is simple: blazers! Snag some affordable blazers from places like Forever 21 and go for bold: red, classic black, white, yellow, striped. Even if you have 2 or 3 blazers, you can mix and match with these tees (and a pair of skinny jeans on the bottom) for a classic, chic look!
