For those of you who have been following my story, I'm happy to report I finally heard from my boyfriend. He's still in a lot of pain, but the ER gave him painkillers to help him until he goes to his doctor's tomorrow to see what exactly is causing everything... He apologized for not texting or calling me, he hasn't been off the couch much since he got home at 3am (my time), and his phone is somewhere in his room.

I spent this past weekend with my boyfriend and met the rest oh his family, but when I ask him to meet mine, he refused. It didn't bother me the first time I asked and he said no, but now it does. We've been together for 7 months now, he's 22 almost 23 and I'm 18, almost 19. I need help.

To be blunt - you need to talk to him about it.
And how many times have you asked, and how long has it been since he first refused?
Lastly, how did the visit with his parents go?
And do you live at home with your parents? If you do, then it seems awkward that he has not had to meet or at least run into them yet.

Also, sharing ages is against the CS rules and mods like to really pounce on it.

So there's this boy that I met last year, he's a year older than me. He's been through a lot in his life, from what I can tell, and he has a very different...lifestyle and set of morals from me, I guess you could say.
Well, recently, I found him on Facebook and sent him a friend request. We started talking, just a little bit here and there. And last night he called me gorgeous and told me I could get any guy I wanted easily. That was a pretty big compliment coming from him.
I know he's not interested, but it really bothers me that I've liked him from the moment I met him...I really shouldn't.
But anyway, I really want to text him again, but I don't want to feel annoying ;n; How do I start a conversation without constantly fretting that I'll annoy him?

Not looking for advice just wanted to share this story c: This might be kind of long...
I was talking with two (girl) friends and so of course the subject of boys came up. (Don't judge lol, I'm only able to get together with one of them twice a year, we had to catch up.) One of my friends (the one I see every week) said that if I asked a guy (one BP) out he would probably say yes. This actually surprised me because BP and I are friends but not necessarily close. My friend said he seems to like me and pay more attention to me than the other girls in our youth group. (Please note that BP is everybody's favorite person because he's so nice and caring or everybody and yet he's a bit timid but is friends with EVERYBODY.) I thought, surely not. He's just a nice person. I figured, of course he doesn't like me romantically. BP has told my friend that he has been in love with her sister since the 7th grade (he's now a senior). And he's not the kind of guy who would lie about that kind of thing. So I'm rooting him on to woo her but I started noticing how he acted pretty awkward around me and wanted to share the cute awkwardness with you guys.

At church camp.
Firstly, at camp everybody is organized into different colored teams and BP and I were the only ones in the youth group to get team blue. So that started our friendship because he's timid and shy around strangers and we'd met before which brings me to the next awkward thing.
At lunch is was introduced to another youth member (Even though we've been introduced before) and said youth member said, "sorry, I don't remember being introduced to you before."
BP then blurts, "she comes to youth group all the time!" He quickly snapped his mouth shut as everybody kind of glanced at him. I quickly moved the conversation on thinking nothing of the fact that he's noticed me before.
Then at a game the entire camp played they tried getting everyone in a circle but it wasn't working so they called out for everyone to grab hands and step back to form a better circle and BP looked at me kind of horrified So we had to hold hands for like 10 seconds and he avoided eye contact. His hands were warm, almost sweaty, if I remember correctly.
I had never heard him make a sarcastic comment before and he made one and one of the guys there was like, "There's the BP I know!" I found it odd that he must've been acting different.
As an activity the youth pastor asked each person in our youth group to choose two people to brag about and I was one of his people. He said he was impressed that I was being social and friendly to everyone since I was kind of new and that was my first year at camp.
Then at lunch on the way home after camp he sat with me and my friend instead of the other guys of the youth group and the three of us conversed with each other like regular friends. It was pretty chill.

So yeah... now I'm under the impression that he likes me but I doubt he'd ask me out. And I'm totally okay with us just being friends.

So recently, I've been getting to know this guy a bit better. He's been really sweet, and acting like he is totally into me. We spent quite a bit of time together during the Christmas holidays, and everything was good. But now were back at school, and I hadn't spoken to him since other day, when he told me he didn't want a relationship, and he was sorry for messing me around.

I don't understand how he could do something like that after telling me that he's been screwed over by the last few girls he'd dated. If he just didn't want a relationship, surely he wouldn't have lead me on so much; or at least I'd like to think that. I just feel really used, and it really sucks and I thought he was a nice guy, not like all the rest of them;-;

Holy Cheese and sprinkles I'm nervous. So I have this guy I like. I'm not having any troubles with him really, but I want to take him on a trip with me on spring break. I am truly and highly nervous. Why? Because I'm planning on going to see my dad for spring break.. My dad still sees me as this innocent young girl and daddy's girl.. He doesn't know everything about me. Like the fact that I'm bisexual or that I have dated girls, or that I've kissed guys before. For crying out loud my dad freaked out when I told him I needed pants because I was on my period. My poor dad didn't raise me, so he's not quite sure of things and I'm almost legal. He can be touchy on certain things and I'm scared he will not accept the fact that I'm dating someone. I was thinking maybe I should post a picture of me and him on Facebook and let him find out that way, but the way that's set up.... I feel like that's a terrible idea because he'll wanna talk about it and every I know immediately talks to their daughters about boys trying for sex all the time. I've told me guy that I don't want to and I want to and plan on waiting till some serious time has passed by. I mean I'm not sure which way he will take it, but really nobody does. He's just gotten a divorce a couple of months ago and is dealing with that. I'm unsure if he lives alone or if he lives with his ex wife and is trying to move out or she's moving out. IDK what's going on, but my baby sister is in the middle of it all. I feel like he's still under stress of this divorce because it's like his third time. Then again I'm not even sure if they went through with it or it was just a bad fight and they aren't talking. I don't want to bring my guy in and my dad go completely nuts on me.

K so I have a problem.

This guy is my best friends boyfriend. He and I are close friends and when we walk around with out his girlfriend, people think we are dating. One of my teachers thought we were together and another kid "aww"ed us when we were walking out of school together. He and I flirt around but in a sibling kid of way. He used to like me, maybe he still does but he and his girlfriend are meant to be and I think he truly loves her. What do you guys think? All three of us have the same interests but I don't want people to think he and I are dating because I don't want to lose my best friends.

I'd say ignore people who look at you with adoring faces, and if anyone approaches you about it you should correct them. Your best friends know that you two aren't dating, and they know it's not your fault that other people think you are. People are silly; when they see a boy and a girl together, they automatically assume they're dating. It's irritating, but a fact of life. Basically, the fact that you aren't together is a known fact for your friends, and it's their knowledge of this that really counts. It doesn't matter what strangers assume about you.
