Ask for advice when you need it

Anonymous asked: This girl is really cute i talk to her a bit, i get a bit shy though how can i stop that and have a normal conversation? Also my friend likes her, so i try to avoid talking to her when hes around what should i do :\

Be her friend, nothing is stopping you, if your friend said he likes her, don’t put the moves on her, just talk to her and be kind/courteous/polite, who knows maybe you can throw in a good word or two for him.

Anonymous asked: All of my friends have been going to me about thier problems and now I think I've started to be affected by them. I don't want to tell someone about it because they all have enough to deal with on their own. What should I do? I still want to be able to be there for them

I know exactly how this is. Maybe just listen and nod your head rather than offering them advice and trying to resolve their problem for them. If you are really desperate just tell them the truth.

Anonymous asked: I like a guy and he has a girl friend. The problem is we were sorta becoming friends and I don't want to just cut him out of my life. How do I just be friends?

Don’t cut him out, just be his friend. There is a way to become his good friend without being romantically involved, and who knows, if his girlfriend and him ever break up, you’ll be their shoulder to cry on!

Anonymous asked: There's is this guy and he sometimes makes it seem like he likes me and other times like he hates me. He's sometimes really nice and other times he's just an asshole. Ge hasn't rejected me but I don't want to like him anymore. How do I get over him?

Find someone else. I know exactly how this feels, it’s hard but in the larger span of things, he is a waste of your time and you can find someone who treats you better!

Anonymous asked: Heyy there's this guy I really like but I know he doesn't like me back. He knows that I like him. My best friend in the whole world hangs out with him like every day, though but she says she doesn't like him. He says he doesn't like anybody but.. idk.. so I'm thinking I should change for him cause I really want hhim to like me..?

Don’t change for him, he doesn’t deserve your attention, but it is worth a shot. talk to him in person and also your best friend to get it clear. what do you have to lose?

Anonymous asked: I like this guy, but he only ever talks to me over text or on the bus. We train together- I didn't start this just to talk to him, I've trained with him for years- but he barely talks to me there. He never even looks at me at school. But when we text he makes it seem like he likes me and on the bus I don't know what to think. Does this mean anything?

talk to him in person more, don’t be afraid to approach him. things will play out your way if you initiate them.

Anonymous asked: I dont know how to make him like me. I hate starting conversation and If i do, i'm scared he would i like him. How do i make this work?

Maybe, it would be good that he knew you were interested in him. Guys like when girls are interested in them. Become friends first, don’t be afraid to start a conversation, the worst he can do is not talk back, but most likely, he will. ;)

Anonymous asked: This guy I use to be involved with romantically will not leave me alone. We were never a couple only tried to be. I don't think the guy ever wanted to be serious with me I think he wanted more of a friend with benefits. I have known him for three years. Things ended on a bad note we both said some awful things. I just don't get why he won't stop texting me. He acts like nothing has happened. I ask him to leave me alone and I don't know what to do and I don't want to change my number. Help!

Set things straight with him. Talk to him and establish what your status currently is and what the boundaries are. It seems as if there are communication issues between you two. You have the power, communicate it to him so he gets the idea!

Anonymous asked: So I'm dating this boy, and we never talk anymore. I haven't seen him since June, and we haven't texted in months. I text him sometimes, but he never answers. So I figure that we are dating anymore. I deleted his number, but I really want to not be dating him anymore. I don't know what to do? I start school in 2 weeks and I'm scared that he will be in my classes, and what if he thinks we are still dating? I don't know what to do!!!!

If you haven’t seen the boy since june or talked or texted to him, and he hasn’t answered even when you do text, it should be pretty clear that you are not together anymore. If school starts and he expects to still be in a relationship, you need to draw the line. Tell him the truth and be honest.

Anonymous asked: I met this guy and we talked but we didn't have the chance to switch numbers. How should I contact him? I dont want to sound desperate and add him up. Help?

Adding him won’t make you desperate, wait a while and add him on Facebook or get his number from someone you know. You will never know if you don’t try!

Anonymous asked: I really like this guy and ive liked him fr over a year now... We have hung out many MANY times, and we would sit with eachother at everything... I though he kind of liked me too. one day he told me who he liked .... it wasnt me.. :( We havent talked the ENTIRE summer... and im scared if i text him, he will think im bothering him. I actually am starting to get depressed. I honestly have no clue what to do.. Can you please help me ?

What are you trying to accomplish by talking to him again? Do you want to win him over? Or are you setting yourself up for heartbreak?  If you are getting depressed, seek help in a friend or text him telling him how you feel. Be honest and ask if there is any chance of you two being together, if not, move on to something better and spare yourself the pain.

Anonymous asked: Me and my bf have been taking it slow, but its our 6 month anniversary in a month and a half and I want to do something more for him. I was thinking about attempting to give him a blowjob, but I've never done anything with a guy before so I'm very nervous / unsure of what to do, like technique and especially what do I do when "we" are done lol help?

When you are taking a step forward like this in your relationship, you are not obliged to do anything you do not want to do. Do what feels right for you. As for technique, there are many books / videos / articles out there to help you.
