Is it "love" or just "like"?

I have a cool BF who is always there for me. This particular feeling I have won’t leave, and it seems to get stronger and stronger. Could I really have a first love? What is love anyway?

 

Dear In Love?,

You’ll probably spend years trying to define the indefinable, and you may be in love several times in your life. Love means different things to different people at different stages, and it’s wonderful—as long as you keep your balance. Relish the good feeling and try not to worry about labeling it or pushing it forward. Just enjoy.

This guy asked me out yesterday. We go to school together, we're friends, but I can't see myself liking him that way. I'm also not allowed to date. Well, he asked me out over text and when I told him no and that I'm not allowed to date, he started giving me the silent treatment. It hurts. What should I do?! I want to keep him as a friend but not any more than that.

 

Hey girl, talk to him again about it or maybe even just write him a letter and stick it in his locker telling him how you feel. It would definitely help.

I have a crush on this boy in my class he's in all my classes. About everytime I turn he's looking at , when I catch him he startes at my eyes. He talks to me a week and ignores me the next. I feel that he might be playing with me , please help before I fall for him more.

i have a problem. My friend (formerly named Lilly) is now transgender. I feel confused while talking to her and i cant understand why she wants to be a boy. can i help her in any way? p.s. i already told my parents.

 

 

Hey girl-

It may be difficult for you to understand, but try and put yourself in her shoes. She's probably going through a very confusing time as well and what she probably needs more than anything is a friend. The best thing you can do is let your friend know that you're there for them and that if they ever need something they can come to you. Once they know you'll be there for them no matter what, it might be easier for both of your to open up and talk freely about what's going on with your friend. Good luck! xoxo

Am i normal? I have never gone out with anyone in my life. Im only in 7th grade though. I choose it to be that way. I talk to boys all that time. Boys have asked me out before but every time i say no. Dating is just overrated in my school. My friend and I are waiting until High school for that. Anyway what my problem is, is that i try to picture myself with the main group of boys. But then i think to myself that would be the most awkward situation in the entire universe. Im not lesbiean. I just don't have any clue why i feel this way. I really, really, need help. High school isn't that far away. What if i end up alone when I'm older? Frown Please help!

 

hey girl! That is totally and completely normal. Good for you for deciding for yourself what you're ready for!

xoxo

MOD!
I have to write a definition essay in english, which is basically just taking a word and expanding the definition to fit about two pages. I chose my essay on the word Love. I was really excited but now I'm having a lot of trouble because I can't define love in any way. I've been trying to write about how you feel when your in love because trust me, ive been there-but I can't fill an entire TWO pages with how you feel. Help?
-What is Love?

 

Hey girl, love is def a tricky word and it means a lot of different things to different people and I'm sure there is more than one definition for you to work with. Try looking in a dictionary and a thesaurus and keep a pen handy to jot down anything that comes to mind.
