HELP! 10 POINTS, relationship advice URGENTLY needed...?
I ve known this girl for just over a year now since the beginning of College, we have the same set of mutual friends, but I ve never really been that close with her until recently and since then we ve really hit it off, I really love her company, and have fallen for her. In the last month or so just before the Christmas Break we finally got together, it was bubbling in the pipelines for a long time up to that point.The problem is I ve asked her how she feels about me and the answers always been the same, she says she really likes me, finds me attractive, wants this to continue when we return and when I ask what this relationship is between us she says we re seeing each other what ever that means, and the night before we all left for home, we were very close to having sex. BUT she has bit of a reputation of being a player, last year she was seeing 2 guys on the go and before we hooked up she was seeing this guy she met over the summer. and technically they re still seeing each other. we ve recently split up for the Christmas break and its been really difficult not seeing her, she s gone on holiday, we ve mailed each other, and I ve invited her to stay with me a few days, so I could take her out before we head back to College we have not actually had an official date yet but she hasn t mailed me back a week later still no reply, I m scared that she playing me to the point where its actually beginning to affect my health, and if she is then I ll end it with her because I don t want to end up like another one of those guys to her, because in her I ve found a really good friend and honestly believe i could make her happy Another problem is if she is playing me about then can we still be close mates at the end of it I m worried I m going to end up resenting her and that in turn might affect the relationship with our mutual friends I think I ve might have scared her as well, but not entirely sure, I ve never had a proper GF before, and I m scared I ve told her too much too soon, for example I told her she was the only girl that actually meant anything to me, I would do anything to make her happy stuff like that, all sounds a bit cheesy I know. Thanks for the help
H3lp! I need some relationship advice from girls and guys. ?
My Story Two baby sisters very annoying and destructive Step dad i don'tt get along with at all, mentally abusive relationship mom crazy and stressed out, exhausting friends party too hard, not good to talk to about problems My mom just bought a house that needs alot of work so my home life is kinda stressful. Living with my family is very exhausting and lonely. My family is always picking at me, and my friends are bad influences. they drink and smoke weed all the time and they are usually to busy to talk to about anything going wrong. I play Ice hockey but im the only girl on the team which sucks because i dont really feel like im apart of the team. Its also lonely.. then i just got my heart broken by this jerk who led me on and then got back with his ex girlfriend. He left me hanging. and now im really lonely and going through withdrawl from talking to him so much. Also even though there is nothing wrong with my body i have insecurities about it that are eating away at me. i used to be bulimic but i have control of it. i have issues talking to people because i dont feel like i fit in with white or black people because im mixed. I used to not care what people think about me but the people i know are so judgemental and full of themselves. I know that if i could just get out of this city and meet new people i would be fine but im stuck here around the same average guys and evil girls. Also im a sophomore in an awful public school and im in all honor classes. they are extremely challenging. im getting extremely stressed out now that the break is over because i dont know if im going to be able to balance my emotions, my friends and family, sports, and school and i have a bunch of really hard exams coming up and finals. Does anyone know why everything has to be so shitty? Im feeling kinda suicidal and lonely i dont know what to do.. or how to get passed this rough patch in my life because i know when i graduate it will get better. but right now it doesnt feel worth living. sorry if i sound emo im not trying to get your pity, i know other people have it much worse i just need some tips thanks..

Complicated relationship advice question... (very detailed)?
So I'm a junior in high school and i'm now two for two with choosing the wrong people to like... Right now i like this girl who has had a rough past with relationships . She's dated alot of guys and they all ended up breaking her heart. There was one that she dated in middle school that she got close enough with to tell him that she loves him, and after three years he broke up with her because he wasn't feeling the relationship anymore. Since then she can't tell anyone that she loves them. I first started talking to her towards the beginning of the school year because she's in my work period. I ended up trying to help her get over a kid that she grew close to, who then turned into a complete jerk. He toyed with her and only wanted her for sex. While i was helping her i realized that i was going to end up liking her just as much as the last girl i was into, which i did. So after that she's had an even harder time trying to think about relationships. She's the type of girl who keeps personal things, or anything that doesn't need to be shared to herself so that she won't grow close to someone so its easier when they stop being friends. When we became friends she started opening up some and telling me about stuff that she usually wouldn't, then one day we were talking about who she liked and she said she doesn't have the guts to tell me so i told her i liked her and she then told me she'd tell me in a few weeks. She knew that i understood it was me, but her admitting it would bring it to a different level. Halfway to the end of the few weeks she told me that she doesn't have anyone to tell me anymore and her only reasoning that she would tell me was that something happened to her on that certain day. She then stopped sharing anything at all that was personal with me and after 2 weeks of that i confronted her about it because it was hard annoying and we had a big discussion about how she likes me too but she isn't able to do anything right now. And we talked about her being afraid but i told her i'd wait i waited 9 months for the last girl so i figure i can wait for her too . She still believes that i will get sick of her though and she told me that i'd get sick of her before she'd get sick of me... Over break we ended up texting once or twice a day, and i ended up being the one to always start the conversations by the end of it... i wonder whether thats because she expects me to talks to me enough already when i start the conversations or because she's getting tired of talking to me or something. But it was nice having her let me get her this ring she wanted for christmas, we talked about that when we had the discussion about her being afraid and me waiting. It took alot of convincing to have her tell me what size, what she wanted on it, ect. And now i just question whether or not she still has feelings for me because i can tell i bug her with some things, because it seems like she might not be into our conversations as much, and because her one of her not too close friends likes me and i hung out with her cause i felt bad when she asked me to and even though the girl i like told me too i'm still iffy cause she'd say stuff like the last girl i liked would... idk if she was just joking though and if you need an example, she'd say well you can always sleep with the other girl so i told her that i wouldn't want to and i reminded her that i only like her.... i'm not sure how much of all that is paranoia though....And I'm the kid who gives all my friends their advice on relationships, and if i would go to my friends and ask this i'm sure they wouldn't be able to tell me anything i didn't already know and all they'd do is say don't give up man and hope that motivates me. So i turn to strangers in hopes of them having more knowledge than i can find on my own or through my friends. I've talked to three close friends of mine, thinking maybe the girl would be able to explain it better but she actually had a very hard time. I'm thinking that a female's perspective would be nice to hear especially one with similar experiences because its hard waiting for someone like this and with the two girls combined i've been dealing with this stuff for over a year now and i'm starting to question whether or not it will ever be worth it... and i seriously love anyone who took the time to read this and give me their input, just so you know
Need relationship advice! can anyone help?
I'm currently in a relationship and i love my boyfriend a lot, but well most of the times I find myself doing most of the talking and he usually replies with a " yeah" or " aww" you know one word answers and it's frustrating.. and i've told him about it so that its on the table and he knows how I feel, but I don't think he's understanding it clearly. how do I get him to communicate with me a lot more so that I am happy with the conversations that we have and don't have to be the one contributing the whole time to the conversation?
We need a little relationship advice here? Thank you?
Hi, me and my cousin are talking about his ex and trying to come up with a few answers. Let me get to the point.He was dating a girl and they were together for 2 years on and off.He says that overall he is sure that she loved him and was very attentive and always wanted his attention.He thought she was getting clingy and put space between him and her for a while. She told him a few times that she wasnt happy about the fact that he wasnt there for her and giving her attention.One day she changed her number and didnt ever get in contact with him again.He doesnt know where she lives or what to do. Do u think he brought this on himself? If she really loved him, how come it was so easy for her to just leave and not contact him ever again?Has anyone experience a ex changing his her number and leaving? If so, do u know the reasons? Thank you
I need serious relationship advice pleaseeeee :)?
So I have been talking to this guy for like a month and a half. He's my exboyfriend and we want to get back together but his parents won't allow it. So for the last month and a half we've been seeing eachother kind of secretly and texting while he tried to convince his parents to give us another chance. Well he left to go skiing on December 26 and the day before that his phone broke. So we weren't able to talk while he was skiing. He texted me a little off his mom's phone without her knowing and called once but we could only talk for about five minutes. Before he left he got grounded for missing curfew so as far as i knew he was still grounded when he got back. I was a little upset about not being able to talk to him while he was gone but I knew it wasn't his fault so I tried to let it go. Anyway he got back on New Year's Eve and he was ungrounded but his phone was still broke and I was not aware he was ungrounded. So I went without talking to him. I got a phone call from my friend on the night of January 2nd saying she had seen him at the movies with a girl who he went to grade school with and used to date. I called him the next day yesterday on his home phone and asked him about it and of course I was mad. He admitted he had went with her but tried to tell me she was just a friend. Well January 5th of last year I danced with an old middle school friend and he blew it way out of proportion and broke up with me for it. So I thought he was being a little hypocritical and told him so. He was like we met there and didn't say more that 30 words the entire night and didn't even touch. And I want to believe that but I don't. Anyway, he said " I was going to call you tonight and tell you I went with her and then ask you if you wanted to come over" and I don't believe that for a second because I know his parents don't approve of me. He said he was going to call me last night cuz he wanted to talk this over but he never called and hasn't been in touch today at all. Now come to find out he's been texting her on his mom's phone but I guess he hasn't within the last day. I'm trying so hard to control my temper. But help me out here I have a legit reason to be mad don't I? Should I tell him it's over or wait for him to try and explain?

I need some relationship advice, asap?
I have been with my boyfriend since I was fourteen, three years in february. I love him and he has always been a really wonderful amazing boyfriend to me, even when I've been bratty and lets just say less than amazing to him. He's a freshmen in college this year and I'm a senior in high school. And i guess the issue is... I don't miss him like i feel like I should. I really do love him but its just that right now I feel like he's weighing me down. Like that its annoying to not be able to just do whatever I want and be a 17 year old exploring new things and dating because I have a boyfriend who is 5 hours away...I mean next year I'll be in college and I don't know that I really want to have a boyfriend while in college...Okay I'm not explaining this well at all...but basically, I've just been feeling like I want to break up with him for a while now. but he's so amazing and I don't want to lose him completely, i just want a chance to idk, " test the waters" a little...but I feel like doing that will cost me any chance to go back to him...so maybe i should just wait it out a little and be grateful that i have such a gorgeous, smart, sweet, wonderful boyfriend who i trust and who loves me? I feel like such a brat complaining about him but I can't help that I feel this way...you would think he'd want some freedom but he really doesn't.I had expected that we would break up when he left but he didn't want to and he wants us to stay together. He's gotten more serious about this relationship now that he's away, if anything

I need opinions and advice on my relationship....?
Me and my B F are fixing to be first time parents. The baby is due a week from tomorrow here for the past few months he's been acting different. And about the past month, it's been really bad. He's always finding reasons to break up with me. I do everything I can to make him happy, but nothing seems to work. He don't tell me he loves me no more. He threatens to leave and he usually does and i know where he goes he always goes to his family's and stays the night. he's always talking about he wants his own place, and he don't want to be with me, i stress him out, and he's not happy. What do i do? What's happened to us?Okay, to answer some of your questions, no we are not married, and when we first got together we were friends first he was perfect and we always talked about having a baby. well it seemed like i couldnt get preg. so we stopped trying and BAM I got preg I know he's going to be a good daddy, i just think he don't love me no more. I know for a fact he's going to be there for his baby. so what could be the problem. and we still have sex. my dr. said we could up til i deliver. but he acts sometimes like he don't want that no more too.
I need some real advice from a person who is experienced in relationships.. i'm hurting.. (LONG)?
okay. i've been talking to a guy named jared. i met jared a few years ago at a party.. we became friends from that and he took care of me while i was drunk at a party a few weeks later. we started to sorta like each other after that but it just fell apart.. about 2 years went by since we talked, and he randomly left me a picture comment on myspace a few weeks ago..we started kinda talking again from that and on christmas day it started getting serious.. we were having deep conversations throughout the night & just getting closer.. we started hanging out a little and we had our first kiss on new years eve. everything seemed to be going great. he started doing all the sweet stuff and we started talking about having a relationship. jared always seemed like the sweet sensitive understanding type you know, the kind of guy that actually has feelings and i was really not skeptic about him, i was almost sure that this was the start of something real.. i had no doubts about him. well, last night we were supposed to hang out but we wound up going with our friends.. i texted him twice last night but he never answered me which i could understand because i figured he was busy or maybe drunk or not by his phone .. so this morning he called me and everything seemed fine.. he asked me what i was doing tonight and the regular normal talk we'd always have.. and it eventually turned into " i kinda have something to tell you" .. so he told me that he had a bunch of people at his house lastnight and they all got drunk and him and this girl i know a friend of mine named dominic slept in the sam bed together.. he told me they didn't mess around and it was nothing..i asked if they cuddled and he said yeah.. i asked if they kissed and they said yeah.. i couldn't get that mad because me and jared don't actually have the whole " girlfriend boyfriend title" yet, but i did act a little annoyed.. i wasn't really mad about it until i started asking him if he liked her.. things turned from " it was just a drunk night to him not sure who he wants to choose" .. it started to hurt my feelings and i told him i'd just text him bc i had to leave.. so this is the text i sent him " jared. just tell me whats going on. if that was just a little drunk stupid thing i can understand and ill forgive you but i cant talk to you anymore if you don't know what you want. you assured me that you really liked me and that you wouldnt put me through the bullshit and i believed you but if it's a tough choice between me and dominic than shes all yours i wont settle for being an option" ... so he never replied and he called me and we talked about it more but the conversation went nowhere.. he told me that dominic later found out that me and him had something going on so i guess she stepped back.. he then told me that he was going to take a shower and hed call me after, and i was like okay if you want.. and he was like yeah i do want to but hours passed and he never called.. i texted him and i was like " so i guess you took your pick" and he said " what are you talking about" and i said " nun" and he said " umm okay" and i said " you know what im talking about" and that was it.. i haven't talked to him since.. i got on myspace and changed my default pic which was a picture of me and him and when i got back on later he changed his too which was the same picture . and he went out to the hangar tonight the hangar is a club .. i want us to work this out.. he was so great.. i'm so hurt over this not only because i wanna be with him but because this happens to me so much you'd think it's a joke. do i have bad luck or is it me thats doing something wrong? i'm sweet, easy to get along with, classy, not bad looking, and i'm not obsessive.. when guys break your heart over and over again you begin to wonder what area you need to change in.. it's like my most unsolved mystery..but i just want him to call me.. should i text him and say ANYTHING else? what should I do on MY part? help
