Help! I'm secretly dating a guy behind my mom's back

My mom said I could start dating at age 16. I'm 15. This really nice guy asked me out and I said yes. I couldn't help myself. What am I going to tell my mom?!

Hey girl! You’re going to tell your mom just what you told me. As long as you haven’t been sneakin’ around behind her back, I’m sure she’ll understand you being excited about a nice guy asking you out (and she’ll be thrilled to hear he’s a nice dude, trust me). After you come clean about agreeing to go out with him, talk to your mom about your options. Could you and your BF go out with a group of friends? Could your guy come over and watch a movie while your parents hang in another room? Your mom might not want you to go off on your own with a guy, so provide her with a couple options that involve you two getting to know each other better in a group. 

Here’s the tough part: If your mom still says absolutely no guys for another year, you’re gonna have to let this guy know. If you sneak behind your mom’s back for a couple dates and she finds out, you’ll lose her trust. A few dates aren’t worth that. Instead, let the guy know you’re not allowed to date until next year. He may not be willing to wait (his loss!), but you wouldn’t want to date a guy like that, anyway!

I NEED MAJOR HELP! ok, so i met this kid in math class that i really liked. and we texted and stuff all the time during the summer and it was great but then we went to this camp together and he was super embarassing and kept asking me out for lunch and i said no and so i stopped texting him and he eventually stopped talking to me and such and i felt kind of bad. i texted him occationally after the camp but he didn't reply but a few minutes ago he called and we talked like nothing ever happened. should i give it another go, or ditch him? thanks!

Hey girl,

If you want to give your friendship another try, that's up to you, but make sure you're honest with him about wanting to be only friends so that he doesn't get hurt again!

Yeah, I like this person's advice. Tell your mom whatever you do. My dating line is sixteen for both my parents and me. ;)

I love kissing my boyfriend but he has really bad breath a lot which turns me off (obviously) I really wanna kiss him but its so bad! I dont want to tell him and be mean! what do i do!?

 

Hey girlie! A little bit before you kiss him, pop a mint yourself and offer him one . People usually take mints when they are offered, so your boyfriend's breath will be minty fresh! xoxo

it gets really anoyying when my friend keeps telling
me what to do and whatever i tell them to stop they wont.




Hey girl--

Bossy friends can be annoying. Firmly tell her that you have your own opinion and preferences. If she won't quit it, spend more time with other friends. 




good luck!
