• Hope HELP ME! I'm Brittany a sophomore in highschool in my first relationship and with a friend which is already really awkward enough but to top it all off he's really clingy and after dating less than two days he has already told me he loved me twice I don't know how to tell him that we need to slow down or end it without hurting his feelings

  87

  • Hope @Heather Jensen, thanks for the advice I talked to him about and were gonna slow down and try to make this work

  • Heather Hi Brittany! I think that you need to talk to him a bit and tell him that he is moving too fast. I know that it's hard to talk about that, but if you don't want to end it, you need to have him calm down.

• Anonymous So I told a guy friend I like him. He think there's a connection too but doesn't want to ruin his relationship with my guy cousin and brother because he says it's happened before. I think it could be different. He wants to stay friends. Should I keep pursuing or let him be and keep our friendship as well. Confused

  • Anonymous @Heather, He said its all good wants to be friends and wants things to stay exactly how they are. Mainly bc he has too much respect for my brothers. How can I convince him this would be different? Or is this something to let go? Even tho theres a connection, he feels it too!!

  • Heather I'd say you should try it! After all, you can reassure him that if it doesn't work out, you two can be friends afterwards. I'd definitely say go for it though. :)

  • Anonymous he's very loyal to his boys....that's how I met him, through my brothers...

• Jenni i've been friends with this boy for almost 4 years now. Not best friends that we see eachother all the time, but i'd see him everyday on my bus and at work and we'd always get on really well together but just as friends. But we went out once recently and we kissed very quickly, and briefly but that really made me change my mind about him. now i really like him and think we would be perfect together. We've been texting all the time since then but when i saw him today it's like we had gone back to being friends. i can't imagine he would mess me around but it was weird listening to him talking about this girl he'd made out with :/ i dont know what to make of it, but I really like him now. What should I do?

  • Hope @Jenni, It all depends on where the girl he made out with falls on the timeline if he made out with another girl after you guys kissed then don't give him a second thought he is a player but if he made out with her before you guys kissed and was just telling you the story then he mght just be aving a hard time transitioning from friends to something more when in an awkward situation some people say anything that comes to mind to talk about without thinking about for all you know he could be banging his head into the wall wishing he said anything but that

• Katie i have a new friend and i can just tell i REALLY like him but he wants me to go hang with him all the time. My friends say he is trying to get me and i say it is just a friend thing. But i really want him to like me. We are both shy REAL SHY! so i thought i could give him a card on his b-day and tell him. What do you think? Should i do that? Should he ask me out ? Should i move on??????

  • Hope @Katie, Definitely go for it should be easier transitioning from friends too If you haven't known him all that long.

  • Sheila Hey Katie, I think it's worth a shot hun. I'd say go for it! :) Do come back and tell us how it went.

• InLoveeWithHim:( I have a crush on one of my best guy friends, and he's always flirting with me, and, much to my annoyance, my friend. I don't know what to do :( He wont ask me out, he's way to shy, and I'm too shy to ask him out, so I guess we'll stay friends. :(

  56

  • Hope @InLoveeWithHim:(, Hey I was in your position only a couple days ago I was friends with this guy for four years and have had a crush on him for two whole years and I was to afraid to say anything to anyone abot the fact that I like I didn't even tell my friends that I liked him but then I woke up one morning and decided I can't hide my feelings any more and told him how I felt and we've been dating for two days sure it is really awkward right now but I wish I built up the courage sooner but make the transition when your ready to change that relationship

  • Sheila Hey InLoveewithhim, I can truly say, I've been there and done that. Sometimes, you just have to weigh the pros and cons. If you don't think its worth taking a chance don't! You'll always have your friendship :)

• Mystique This is very very helpful! I've been friends with a guy since the past 10 years (as chat buddies). and we've never really met or anything except once even though we have common friends. Over the past 1 month we'eve started talking like best buddies and now its more than best buddies any more. Woah...! We click like anything, have thousand things in common and above all he's a great guy! I have feelings and I'm sure he does too. Definately sure. He sends me indirect signs like romantic lyrics sms, he's indirectly hinted i'm his gf BUT I'm a lil confused. We text eachother 24/7, exchange emails, phone calls - everything possible to be in touch but we STILL havnt meet. We met 10 years ago. I have no clue how wat to say or do or where even to meet!!! all I know is sparks are gonna fly! Wish me luck xOxO.

  • Mystique Hey Sheila, We do talk everyday and guess what, we met impetuously yesterday. Actually he lives in a satellite city of mine somewhere 30 kms outside my city bt he comes here to work :) Its kind of funny my office is outside my city, his office is inside my city. Everyday our cars head in opposite directions on the same highway! Anyway, we met yesterday. It was a last minute plan - nobody had time to think, dress up or anything. We met for coffee. I guess we were together for 2 hours. I had the most amazing time. Initially I was feelin a lil conscious bt he's got a gud sense of humour and is an easy talker so it was juz fine. I had planned to follow all the advice in this article bt i juz went wit the flow n was my own natural self :) But thank u Sheila for the advice n Kati for the article!!

  • Sheila Hey Mystique, You met 10 years ago?! Woah! Do you guys live in the same city? If yes, what the hell are you waiting for?! Obviously you are close enough and there's no harm in suggesting catching up for a movie or grabbing a bite to eat. Ofcourse, if you guys aren't the same city, it gets a bit complicated. But I'd still suggest having a talk with him. I'm sure by putting both your heads together, you can come up with something. Promise me you'll do something about it quick. It's a crime to let go of someone who you have such great chemistry with :)

  • Mystique Can someone please help me with the above mentioned dilemma??!

• mowz i've been happily in love with my friend for about half a year now (and I've carried a torch for him before). all i can say is, it makes the relationship a lot easier if you don't swap friendship completely for love, but keep it. for example we still make fun of each other a lot, in a sometimes very sarcastic way. we still bicker and he doesn't defend me when our friends tease me (they can be mean) and i don't expect him to. it creates a lot less drama if you remain equals and don't turn into a damsel in distress and a knight in shining armor.

  66

  • Hope @mowz, That is really helpful advice and very well worded I am in the really awkward stage of transitioning right now and your advice really helped me out

    95

  • Sheila Hey Mowz, Gotta agree with you. You were friends before. Don't see why you can't continue to be best friends. Good luck to you and your boyfriend :) Thanks for visiting!

• Xannyyy This happened to me once and I can say at times I loved it and at other times I hated it! Being totally best friends and then girlfriend ad boyfriend can help alot for a realtion ship. When friends you learn more about the person and can feel more trustwortly when you say some secrets. Then being togethere like more than friends can be really pissing because some things you might have said can be turned against you! For me I didn't work out well in the end!!

  61

  • Sheila Hey Xannyyy, Oh well. I hope you guys still managed to remain friends after all that. I had a really good friend who I thought I was in love with. At the end, he got married and moved to a different city :(
