?

My sister is 16, and is dating this guy who I really dislike. I didn't always dislike him, he's the cousin of my own boyfriend's friend, but i've grown to hate him since. My sister insists I just hate him because he's with her, but that's not it, frankly she has terrible taste in guys.

Anyhow, this guy always says stupid/horrible things to people, just to make them angry. He makes stupid decisions, gets terrible grades and has a past of failed relationships. He also has a history of being mean to her best friend, which my sister knew full well, but still throws fits when her best friend can't stand his presence. He's argumentative but always interrupts, not understanding what people are trying to say, and once accused me & her best friend of trying to ruin her life.

He once told her "if you have to choose between me and your best friend, pick her," and my sister ate it up of course, but lately she has been ignoring her best friend in favor of seeing him. He also tends to tell her different versions of stories that would paint him in a bad light, which sound horrible when told by other people.

I've expressed my concerns several times, as well as her best friend, one time we both sat her down but she ignores it and takes it personally. I just don't know what to do anymore. I hate him, and I really can't stand the thought of them being together any longer. I just don't know what to do. My sister is stubborn, and I think she'll cling to this to spite us.

Im a high school senior and a lot of my friends have had sex. Today, some of the girls were talking about their experiences with their boyfriends (all long relationships, so they aren't sleeping around or anything). Some other girls havent either, but theyre single and im not.

I felt strange because my boyfriend and I have dated over 2 years, but we havent had sex. He's been very patient with me, even though I know sometimes he wants to. A lot of his friends have had sex too.

Im 18 years old, and while i know I should not feel pressure to do this, I wonder if its weird purely because we've dated so long and that we aren't 14 or 15. Im not waiting for marriage or anything, I just havent felt like im ready yet. Is it weird?

Here's mine! It's not exactly cute, but whatever.

I was 16, and had been dating my first boyfriend a month. One day I'm the cafeteria before 1st hour, giving him the obligatory hug goodbye, and we pull apart and just look at each other. Suddenly he leans in, the tunnel vision kicks in and we're kissing. It was like the rest of the world went away.

I was kinda shaky after that, and needless to say, it was hard to focus on Geometry that morning.

It has been almost two years of dating now :)

This morning, my dog was in his cage where he sleeps at night so he doesn't get into things he shouldn't. He was barking because he wanted to get out. Trying to resolve the situation so that he didn't wake up my baby brother. My Dad grabbed his collar to lead him out, and then the dog bit him on the finger. There is a flap of skin and its deep in some places. It drew quite a bit of blood, and we had to wrap his finger in gauze.

Recently, the dog, who is a 4 year old English Setter, has had some weird problems, he hasn't really been keeping weight very well even though we feed him the same as always, and has gotten some skin rashes. It went away for awhile and very recently came back, so we are wondering if he is sick? The dog can be pretty aggresive sometimes, this is not recent, but usually snaps, not bites.

But my Dad is very upset, and worried that if the dog will bite him than he might bite the rest of us and do worse damage on our smaller hands, or worse bite the baby. He left the final decision on the how up to us, and I would like to keep it as humane as possible. My Dad is pretty dead-set on it, so should we put him down? I wouldn't want to put him in a shelter and have him get adopted and have his new family to deal with his behavior as well. What should we do?

My friend and I text a lot. Recently, she's been trying to get into a relationship.

She talks about boys a lot and goes on about how lonely she is, and that she can't wait on finding someone.

I have a steady boyfriend, my first, and we've been dating awhile. The problem is, thats about as far as my relationship experience goes.

So when she says these things, I have no clue what to say, and try to lighten the mood or change the subject. She complains I don't take her seriously and that she feels like I'm making fun of her. However, I really just don't know what to say do to lack of experience, and have told her that.

Of course I don't do those things, and I'm sad she's upset, to the point where I never talk about my own relationship. But I feel like thats all she ever wants to talk about and I'm a little sick of it. Am I bad to say that?

I really want to support her, but it's hard to hear about only the same few things all the time, and our conversations are nearly always one-sided. I have to fight to talk about what I want to. I've brought it up before, a bit more delicately, but nothing's changed.

Am I being selfish for getting to the point where I just don't wanna hear anymore? Am I not supportive?

This is my little brother's name. It's in the family.

At first I worried, but I've seen it growing in popularity recently and I wonder what everyone thinks.

Eliminate 4 names please!

Not expecting, just collecting!

My bf and I have two friends who used to date. It was badly timed, and she wasn't able to really see him much because she was grounded. The relationship ended after a month, with my friend saying she just wasn't attracted to him the way he was with her. He never stopped liking her.

A couple months later, they act very close, despite citing that they're "just friends." Another couple months, they're close enough that when she says she is cold, they cuddle. Later that night, they made out while my bf was in the bathroom. Now every chance they have alone they get physical. They even hold hands in school.

She still doesn't seem to be interested in a relationship, and he isn't talking. They seemed to be doomed for friends-with-bennies-hood. Our other friends think she's lonely.

Why is she doing this to him? Should I say something to her? He really likes her.

There are a few girls who really like my friend.

He can't decide between them, and has been kind of leading them all on.

He took one SUPER nice and pretty girl who likes him to see The Vow on Valentines Day, but I don't think he seems to realize she likes him and it meant more to her than to him, because he didn't really think anything of it.

He's playing Conrad Birdie in Bye Bye Birdie, and he spends a lot of time with the girl who plays Kim, whom I think may be on a rebound from a super messy breakup.

He's also been texting a freshman girl (he's a senior) a lot, and even a few other girls, AND on top of that there are others who like him too.

I feel like he's making them all feel like they have a chance when he really only wants to pick one, but he hasn't because he doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket in case it goes bad.

What do I do?!

Which combos do you like most?
