Obsessed much? How to handle a smothering sweetie


 

Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
My boyfriend is very sweet. But we are young, and he always tries to kiss me and is becoming very obsessive. I don’t want to go out with him if he keeps smothering me. It doesn’t help that his friends are my friends, and that he is in all my classes, rides my bus and lives next door. Even if we break up, it will be very awkward. What do you think I should do?


Dear Too Many Problems,

Time for you two to talk. Try, “I really like you. But I don’t feel ready for kissing yet, and I wish you would respect that. Your pressuring makes getting together less fun. You need to slow down a little.” Will it be difficult for you to say this? Yes. But staying silent is already difficult, right? If he cares about your feelings, he’ll listen. If he doesn’t, he’s not BF-worthy. If you do break up, now or in the future, you can both be friendly and mature so that seeing each other and sharing friends isn’t harder than necessary.

Guys like can be trouble. I would let him down easy and find someone else. Guys like that probably want more than just kisses and if you arent ready for that, time to find a new guy.

MOD MOD MOD!
last year me a my boyfriend saw each other everyday. this year i don't see him at all.we cant hang out outside of school either! should i break up with him or not?

 

Hey sweets! Sounds like an issue! Only you know how you feel about your boyfriend so I can't tell you whether or not you should break up with him, but if you can never see each other you have to think about how you feel about that. Do you miss him and want to hang out more? If yes, I'd say you still like him and you should make an effort to figure out someway for you two to hang out. If no, then I'd say it's time to move on. Maybe he's a good friend that you'd like to keep in touch with, but because you can't see each other very often you don't think the spark is still there like it used to be. Either way I think this is something you should reflect on how you feel about and not just jump to a decision cause you think that's what you're supposed to do. I know you'll make the right decision for you! xoxo

Yu should have yur voice as well, just go and tell him what GL's advice said. Don't be afraid. Me and my bf never kissed, I told him I'm not ready, he understood so we just hug, cuddle, and stuff. Well, he does kiss my cheeks and I sometimes kiss his forehead but not lip kiss or anything..
