I am such a lonely little person... I'm now a teen and I've never liked anyone...

[scullys]

So it was the last day of school yesterday, and I was crying, because I was going to a new school and all that stuff...But then my crush/ex bf hugged me in the hall. Later we were walking home, I was still crying, and he hugged me again, and then he left. But I don't know if he liked me or if it was just to get me to shut up, Help??

don't say that! i'm in my teens and have only ever liked two guys.
its not a bad thing; in fact i think its good that you're not lusting over every single guy/girl you've seen
you'll find someone, who's worthy of you liking them c:

Hey guys!!Ineed help with my freinds online relationship...
Ok so it all stared about 1 month ago...My BFF started bragging on about some dude she met on a online game.And they were good freinds,I accepted because online friens are safe if you REALLY know them!
And a few weeks pf this dude past and then I heard from another Bestfriend of mine that L(BFF with onliner) was dating F(online guy).I was shocked because my bestfriend ALWAYS tells me these things...I was alittl upset because this was a secret fpr four weeks but she has been texting him she loved him and her info and such and its not safe...he acts funny,and strange towards us on chatrooms...I have tried talking to her about how unsafe this was because she didn't know him...What can I do to show her how dangerous an online relationship can be?
(Is this on the right thread x3)

I doubt it'd be hard to search online for 'online predator' incidences. It's tricky because she might brush it off and say "Oh, but that won' happen, I know him and trust him, I know he's who he says he is" but it's so easy to LIE on the internet. Has she done skype, facetime, or other kinds of video chatting with him? If she feels she wants to date him, I feel she should try that already. Anyone can send a fake picture but to chat live is much better.

If you feel comfortable approaching her about this, don't be afraid to show concern and ask "How well do you really know this guy" and if she describes all the things he has said (personal things maybe), you can ask "How do you know it's true". Be honest, remind her you care about her and don't want anything bad to happen to her because there IS a danger with strangers online.

Heck, if you are TRULY concerned he might not be who he says you could tell her parents, though that definitely risks her being very upset with you for betraying her trust. If I really felt my friend was in danger I would risk that, but it's not a decision to be made lightly.

I would even be willing to get her username and pretend to be a guy myself, to lead her on the same way and then say "Hey, see how easy this was for me to make up a person to get your info?" It would upset her but SO many people need someone to walk up and knock some sense into them through living that very mistake, but in a less dangerous, risky way.

I wish you luck! I know it's very hard to watch a friend do something when you are sure it will all be a big mistake, and possibly a dangerous one at that. Online friends CAN turn out really great; I've met three of my close friends online and two of them have visited me, one all the way from another country! But you have to learn how to be careful, and as a young person your friend is inexperienced and naive, though she doesn't realise it.

I agree, I'm in my late teens and I've only ever had a crush on one guy. Don't worry about it, it could just be your body changing slower than your peers'. I know I wasn't even interested in guys until last year and all my friends found it odd but I just ignored them because I knew I would find someone at some point (and now I have-we're very close friends and I'm pretty sure he likes me back... )

Thanks for the advice

^ doing something like that is not only harassment but can lead to bad consequences, for example criminal charges in some cases not to mention very angry people. That could also ruin your friendship and frankly I wouldn't blame her. An online relationship can be safe under a registered dating website for adults, not if she is underage. The right thing to do would be to warn her and give her an example that doesn't involve tricking her instead of essentially preying on her.

I give up. Completely give up.
Jake is the only friend in the town I'm moving to. I at least wanted to be better friends. In person he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. And he won't even text me back. Even if we never become something more, why can't he talk to me?? I texted him a week or two ago. I don't seem clingy or anything like that. I just give up. I won't talk to him until I move. Meh.

First of all, I would like to clarify that I am a boy, not a girl here, since this may affect my situation.

Alright, so about 2 months ago, I started to have romantic feelings for this guy, he's all I think about now. But if I tell him how I feel, He won't talk to me and probably will dislike me for my sexual orientation because only a few people know that I am gay, and he isn't one of those persons. It would be great if I got advice, I'd greatly appreciate it. c;

[Lazy9248]

I just found out that no one knows that J and I text... Not even his best friend knows and he pretty much tells him everything... I'm trying to figure out what to make of it because he is awful at keeping secrets... I don't know I think I'm making a big deal out of nothing... What do you guys think? Any advice at all? Please feel free to pm me if you'd like I've never actually gone out with anyone so I honestly have no idea what I'm doing at all
