Help! Why do I act so awkward around my BF?

I always want to have a cute relationship. But when I have a BF, I get nervous and non-romantic and we break up in less than two weeks. How can I stop being so nervous and awkward around my crush/BF?

 

Every relationship is awkward in the beginning! Meeting and talking to a crush can be nerve-racking. But don’t sweat the small stuff—he probably won’t even notice your untweezed eyebrows or your mismatched socks. When a guy looks at you, he can’t see those butterflies in your stomach.

 

So what to do? Make sure to laugh off the times you trip over your shoelaces or stutter your words. He’ll think it’s cute and he’ll like how confident you are in your quirks. Suggesting your own date ideas will make you feel in control. Pick a fun activity you can do together (it’ll give you something to focus on other than making conversation). How about catching the school play or the latest flick? Or, hit up the batting cages or go for a quick round of putt-putt. Having something to do will help calm those nerves and put your butterflies to rest. Keep in mind, he’s probably nervous too!

 

If you’re still not comfortable with your BF, it’s probably time to move on. We always think that the best relationships come from being friends with a guy first. When you find the right guy, having fun together will be easy and carefree. Just take a deep breath and be yourself, babe!

Okay, so there is this guy in my class and keeps inboxing me in FB and he keeps saying that I'm pretty and everything like that and I think he likes me, but I am a bitter person and I literally get annoyed with boys so easily. What should I do? I don't like him and I don't want to hurt his feelings at the same time.

 

 

 

Hey Girl, saying something like, "im not looking for a relationship right now" is a nice way to tell him that it isn't hime but you just want to be friends. Trust me, he'll back off.

there's this guy i've spent a lot of time with lately. the other day, we both confessed to liking each other. since then, we've been more flirtatious than usual, and we act kind of boyfriend-girlfriendy, but i don't know if we're actually "dating." how should i go about defining the relationship?

 

Hey girlie, one time when you're having a moment that seems more than friendly, ask him about it. Just ask him if you're more than friends however you feel comfortable doing it. It's not the easiest thing to do, but it'll make your relationship a lot more comfortable.

When I hangout with my boyfriend we are always in a group, me, my bf (D), my friend (N), her bf (M), and my boyfriends best friend (J). I always feel like I am taking J's best friend away from him. Also I try to give u my time with D so J can spend time with him but the favor is never returned (my friend and her bf are together and me D and J are together) and I always feel weird around J. When we all hangout he is always really quiet but sometimes he puts in his two cents. I really like D but I don't want ruin his friendship with J or our relationship. Also how do I get D alone without it being weird? Help

I'm a competitive swimer which means i practice ALOT during the week and usually have competitions on Saturdays but now the season is almost over and there are almost no more competitions left I really need to train hard to go to allstar championships since i couldn't go to my league's championship (i had Saturday school).the problem is sometimes i miss a week worth of practice because i am on my period and my mom won't let me use a "plug" I'm 12 years old almost 13 and I've tested it out and it feels fine so i don't know what her problem is with letting me use one should i go ahead and use one or should i try and convince her?

 

 

 

 

Hey Chica, I was a competitive swimmer too and I promise that as long as your tampon is changed regularly, you should be fine to swim. Your mom probably has different issues with them, and because we don't know them I'm not sure how you should address it. Try asking her. Then you can do some research or ask your health teacher/school nurse so you can talk to your mom about it.

I have this crush and when I like someone, I tend to ice him out. He told me that he thinks I ignore him. I don't get nervous when I talk to him, it's just that I don't and don't know why I don't. Could you help me?

 

Hey girlie, try making an effort to be extra friendly with him. If you like him you should want to spend more time with him and get to know him better.
