?

To cut a long story short, me and my ex split up just over a month ago, we were only together for 2 months and the break-up was pretty mutual and I thought we ended things on okay terms. Basically, the first time I met his friends was his friend's house party, me and my ex both got very drunk and I started talking to one of his close friends a lot. My ex kept disappearing and talking to lots of different people but I ended up spending most of the party talking to his close friend, his other friends were making jokes about us about how friendly we were with each other so they must have noticed how well we got along, there did appear to be some chemistry there between us.

I was happy with my ex, but I couldn't help thinking about his friend every now and then, I hung out with his friends again we all went for a meal together and I was pleased to see his friend again, but things with my ex seemed to be getting worse before we eventually decided to split up.

Since this, I have been thinking about his friend more, I know it is wrong and I would hate it if it was the other way around and my ex started dating one of my close friends but I can't help my feelings. Me and my ex haven't spoke since we split up.

Should I just avoid this guy and find someone else or should I go with my feelings and see what happens?

I have been with my boyfriend for 2 months, but we began dating in November. The feelings between us developed very quickly, the spark was there straight away and we connected really well. Things couldn't have been more perfect, he would shower me with compliments all the time, offer to do things for me and we would spend as much time together as we could, along with texting whenever we could. In the past two weeks things have changed a lot, he texts me a lot less and rarely calls me, we only see each other once a week and although he still tells me he loves me, he doesn't compliment me any more or make me feel special, I just have no idea how he feels towards me any more.

I should also say he is very busy at the moment, he works long hours, he is moving house this week and he is trying to set up his own business with a friend, I know I have to be patient and understanding but I feel like him having a girlfriend is just getting in the way. Surely guys usually are the first to say if they want to break up with someone they are not happy in a relationship with?

Should I just wait or try and talk to him about it?

Basically early last year around June time, I started seeing this guy I went to school with. I used to like him many years ago but he never seemed interested so nothing ever happened. We met up 3 times last year and each time he came to my house, the first time I met him he invited himself over my house which I thought was strange but he seemed nice and respectful so agreed he could and every time he came over, things happened but we didn't have sex.

Anyway I went on holiday in the middle of July and he told me before I went that he would look forward to seeing me when I came back. I text him when I got home and he asked if I had a nice time, but did seem a little distant, then after a few texts he stopped replying altogether. I'm not the chasing type so instead of trying to find out why I just forgot about him and moved on. Then back in December I got a text off him completely out of the blue asking how I was and why I stopped talking to him when I got back from my holiday. I quickly told him I was waiting for a reply from him which I never got so think our phones must have broken at the time.

We continued talking and finally met up again last week and yes he came to my house again and we didn't have sex either. He is very touchy feely though and I suppose it is nice, but he is the kind of guy I would want a relationship with, not a bit of fun. He text me when he got home to say he had a lovely night with me and would see me again soon, then once again a few texts later he has stopped texting again. He had a busy weekend seeing his friends so gave him the benefit of the doubt to begin with but I didn't hear from him after the weekend either. He seemed interest in seeing me again but is it because he is just after one thing? We haven't actually sat and spoke about what our intentions are or feelings are so have no idea if a relationship is what he wants it is hard to tell but why ignore me after contacting me randomly after 5 months wondering why we stopped talking? Did he just see me again last week to help make up his mind?

Back in May, I began seeing this guy for a few weeks, I met up with him 3 times overall. I already knew him as we went to school together but only began properly talking this year. Just after the third time we met up, I went on holiday with one of my friends for a week, I text him while I was on holiday just telling him I was having a good time and looking forward to seeing him when I come home. He did not reply but I figured he would just wait until I got back but when I got back, I had a couple of texts off him but he seemed distant, he then stopped replying to my texts altogether.

I am not one for chasing guys so I just left it and moved on, but I was surprised to finish work the other night and see a text from him on my phone, especially when the last time we spoke was July. He was asking me why I stopped replying to him when I got back from my holiday and how I was and how the rest of my summer was. We must have had problems with our phones as I did reply but obviously he never received my last text in July. So why has he waited until now to text me and ask why? Is he interested in me again or is he looking for one thing?

He did seem bothered I stopped talking to him but can't tell why.

We haven't slept together by the way just kissed.

I have been seeing this guy for a month now. On our first date we went out for a meal and got to know each other better, and the more I found out about him the more I liked him, so much so after that date we were busy arranging to see each other again. We have met twice since then and equally enjoyed each other's company, he would tell me he really liked being with me and really liked me as a person.

When we first began talking, we were texting pretty much all day every day, he used to call me before I went to sleep too, the texts have gradually got less and less. I was meant to see him last friday and I text him during the day asking if he wanted to go out to eat anywhere and he said he wasn't seeing me because he would be home late and too tired, I was disappointed but said I understood. He replied once more asking how my day at work had been but did not reply after that, and I haven't heard from him at all over the weekend. I decided to text him last night just saying 'hope you're okay x' and he read that text not long after I sent it but did not reply. I am almost certain he is not interested in anyone else, so why would he suddenly lose interest when he seemed so keen to begin with? Will I ever find out where I stand with him or will I have to ask?

This guy I have been talking to for a few weeks wanted to meet up with me soon, and he is a really nice person and I am starting to like him. But this will be the first time we have seen each other for ages and he suggested he came over to my house. Of course I didn't mind nor would my mom or brother, as they know this guy as we went to school together. But I just can't help thinking that it is a little strange that he suggested he came to my house for the first time we properly see each other. Could he just be after one thing and hope that happens while at my house? Or does he just want to chill, he does flirt a lot but he does show interest in me as a person whereas a guy I dated in the past who was just looking for one thing showed no interest in me at all, so I think this new guy is different. But I do have this slight fear he could be looking for one thing. What do you think?

I already have a tattoo on the inside of my wrist which measures the whole width of my wrist. I did find that hurt, but nowhere near as bad as people were telling me it would, it was uncomfortable, but definitely bearable and easily forgotten once the tattoo was finished. I want another tattoo soon, I already have a design drawn by myself and would like it on my ribs, I haven't decided which side yet but the design is likely to be mainly across my ribcage. I have been told it is the most painful place to get a tattoo but I was told the same about the wrist.

I do have quite a high pain threshold when it comes to needles as the most physically painful experience of my life definitely wasn't a tattoo. How painful is a rib tattoo compared to a wrist tattoo on a scale? I want to know I can have the tattoo in one sitting without numbing cream.

Over the weekend, I went for a meal with a guy I have known for a few years but we lost touch a while ago. I added him on Facebook and began talking to him again and found out he had split up with his ex about a month ago, he said he wanted to see me and catch up and offered to take me out so I agreed. He picked me up and we had a really nice night, we spoke about everything in the past and I asked him what happened with his ex and he told me they had drifted apart because they were both working a lot.

The next day, he text me while I was at work saying he had a lovely night but wasn't ready to commit yet after being in a long relationship, so I said I understood and agreed to keep in touch and still see each other. When I got home from work I went on Facebook only to find his profile had disappeared, I didn't think much of it as I know he hasn't been single for that long I assumed he deactivated because he wanted space and freedom. A few days later I noticed his profile was back on there, but today it has gone again (I know he hasn't blocked me by the way). Out of curiosity I searched for his ex's profile on there too only to find hers has disappeared aswell. I know it is not really my business but I had a really nice night with him and he seemed keen to see me now this happens I think it's a bit weird. Do you think they are trying to sort their relationship out without Facebook being involved or just want the total space away from each other?

Over the weekend, I met up with a guy who I have known for a few years, we lost touch when he got a girlfriend. He split up with her and later got another girlfriend, but even then we did not get back in contact. He ended up being with her for a year but split up with her about a month ago. He added me on facebook quite randomly again a few days ago so I accepted me, we swapped numbers and he said he wanted to take me out as he wanted to see me after so long (it had been years since we'd spoke properly) he took me for a meal and we had a lovely night, he took me home and gave me a kiss and told me to text him so I did thanking him for a nice night and that it was good to see him.

I had to go to work the next day and once I finished work I found two texts from him on my phone. The first one was a general good morning text and the other one he had sent just before I finished work saying he'd had a good think about things and said he wasn't ready to commit to anyone yet after being in a long relationship, he apologised and said he thinks I am an amazing person but he doesn't feel ready to meet anyone else yet. Of course I understand this as I felt the same when I split up with my ex after being with him for a year, but I am gutted, he is such a lovely guy and we get on really well, we've agreed to stay friends and still see each other so does this leave it as an opportunity for something to happen in the future or is it his way of saying he isn't interested in me?

This guy I went on a date with a while ago, we both wanted different things so didn't see each other again but we had stayed in touch on facebook as we did get on well, I have just logged in my facebook only to find his profile isn't there, when I try to get his profile to come up I get the message 'The page you requested was not found' we only spoke last week sometime so I went through my messages in my facebook inbox and his name still comes up but there's no picture and I know if someone deletes their account 'Facebook User' comes up instead of their name. So has he blocked me?

I've liked this guy for over 6 months now, we have been friends about two years though but I started to develop feelings for him, he knows I like him as I told him once and my friends have mentioned about me to him, but he does not want a relationship, he has told me this various times before and I have tried to understand this. Right now I don't know what I want either but I know I like him more than he likes me. It really hurts, and I want to get over him so badly, but I have liked him for six months and the feelings just don't fade. I can't explain to him how I feel because he does not deal with feelings or anything like that because he's not that sort of person, and I don't want to distance myself from him and cut off all ties because I would hate to lose him as a friend aswell. Will I ever get over this guy or will I always have this thing for him?

I have known this guy for nearly two years now, and I consider him one of my best friends. We talked a lot, almost every day and realised we had a lot in common with each other and got on really well. we hardly get to see each other but he knows some of my friends so while I was out with friends one night I saw him (this was the second time I met him) I just felt this instant chemistry with him which I hadn't felt for a long time with anyone! This was last year and at the time I had a boyfriend so I could not pursue it and tried to forget about him, but the feelings have always been there.

I've met up with him a couple more times since then as I am now single, I went out with friends on monday night, I saw him and we ended up kissing a fair few times, he wanted to come back to mine but I made him go home. He is such a nice guy and we flirt a lot, but he has never been a relationship sort of person, as he likes to go out and have his fun, he has talked about being friends with benefits which I am unsure about so is he just after me for one thing? And if so, how can I get over him to stop the feelings being there?

I was with my ex for a year, and we have been apart since February and since then have not spoke much at all, he cheated on me so I did not really want anything to do with him. I did find out he has a new girlfriend and last night I had a dream where he got married to his current girlfriend in a church. After we split up he said he had a dream about me getting a new boyfriend but this was not long after we split up, we have not spoke since then so why would I have a dream about him getting married to his current girlfriend? And is there any meaning behind it?

I'd been talking to this guy on a dating site for about a month, we realised we had a lot in common and a lot to talk about so we then swapped numbers and began texting each other nearly every day, he works during the week and sees his friends a few times a week so sometimes is too busy to talk which I understand. One of my friends lives near to where he lives so me and my friends went clubbing in his town, and that was the first time I met him, in a club.

Although we could hardly hear each other and were both with our friends, he did seem like a really nice guy, we had both been drinking and we kissed, he then went to find his friends and I went home as the club was about to close. He text me when I got home saying he wanted to see me lots more and how amazing I looked, but he was quite drunk. This week, we had arranged to see each other sometime but he has suddenly stopped replying to my texts, I know he goes out with friends the weekend but I feel annoying if I keep asking to see him. Should I give up and just wait and see if he asks me or keep trying to get something organised?

A few months ago, I began talking to this guy online, on a dating site in fact. He lives around two hours away from me so we haven't arranged to meet or anything yet. But we spoke online a lot then he asked for my number and we began texting a lot, we get on really well and always have something to talk about. But a few weeks ago, I was looking through his photos on his Facebook and saw a few photos of him with this girl. I clicked on her profile to find out she was in a relationship with him! They also live around two hours away from each other. This guy keeps asking me to travel over to see him for a weekend or something but for now I've just gone along with it as he thinks I don't know he has a girlfriend but I do. I really like talking to him and he can be quite flirty, I wouldn't like to make things awkward by mentioning it but should I tell him I know or just leave it?

He has now hidden all of the photos of him and this girl on his Facebook but I know he is still in a relationship with her, he does seem like a really nice guy but I just wish he was honest with me. The fact he is also on a dating site while in a relationship really is confusing.

Yesterday I went out on a date with a guy who I met off a dating website and we'd been texting for a few weeks before then. He had to be home buy a certain time as his mom isn't well and he needed to look after her so I was only with him for two hours and we went for coffee. He is a really nice good-looking guy, we seemed to have a lot in common and a lot to talk about. When saying goodbye, he gave me a hug and told me to text him later in the day.

So I left it until last night until I text him to say it was nice meeting him etc. He usually replies within a couple of hours but didn't reply until today (this afternoon), but he was at a BBQ last night so that explained why. I was busy at the time he text me earlier so replied about a hour later and he hasn't replied. And this was about 7 hours ago. I wouldn't usually worry about it as I know guys can be pretty slow at texting anyway but he has been online on his phone since I text him so why hasn't he text me back yet? Could I have been wrong about thinking he was interested or could there be a reason he hasn't replied?

Me and my ex have been split up since the middle of February after being together for a year when I found out he had cheated on me. We spoke a little bit a few weeks after we split up but it wasn't really helping either of us so we stopped, and about a month ago he deleted me off Facebook, as he said he thought it was for the best, which I was fine with.

After that, we hadn't spoke at all, up until Saturday, he text me totally randomly saying he had a dream about me, and in his dream I had got a new boyfriend, who was a photographer, and I ended up moving to London with him apparently. My ex then said to me the fact I'd moved to London with a new guy who wasn't a very good guy really made him feel sad when he woke up from this dream. Why is he telling me these things all of a sudden? He then asked if he could add me on Facebook again, to which I haven't got an issue with, is he finally starting to regret the way he treated me?

I got talking to this guy online several months ago, he kept asking me to meet him but he lives quite far from me so I knew it'd be difficult so I kept making excuses at first, we then stopped talking for a while but I then got a new phone so we began texting again and last night he agreed to come and pick me up and go to his flat.

I had a lovely night, we watched a film together and one thing did lead to another, not sex but other things, after the film he decided to drive me home again as he lives quite far from me and he needed to be up fairly early for work. He kissed me before I got out the car and text me saying 'thank you for tonight x' after I got into bed. I then fell asleep and replied to his text this morning, before we met up we text pretty much all day so I find it a little strange he hasn't replied today.

Is he ignoring me because he's changed his mind or is he just planning to wait a few days before talking to me again? I know I sound impatient but I hate not knowing where I stand or what he thinks, he did say I was worth driving over here for but I can't understand why he is ignoring me now.

I had been talking to this guy I met online for about a month, we have met up twice, we first went out for a drink to get to know each other better then the second time we met we went for another drink somewhere else and went back to his, we had both been drinking and one thing led to another, we didn't have sex but did other things, before this had happened, we had talked about what it'd be like if we got together etc and seemed to have a genuine interest in me and make an effort all of the time. He had his phone stolen over the weekend meaning we have spoken less, and he has messaged me on facebook but hardly says anything and just only seems to want one thing. I hate thinking I've been used by him as he is a nice guy and someone I would like to see again, but not for sex, and if I have been used, how do I cope and deal with it?

I went out for a drink on a date with a guy last weekend. We had been talking almost every day for a few weeks before and he kept suggesting we should meet up when we were both free, so we met up last Saturday. We had a nice night, he's a really nice guy and made me laugh a lot, he took me home at the end of the night and he text me once I had got into bed which I wasn't expecting.

We carried on texting for another hour, then he fell asleep and stopped replying, but the texts suggested he still seemed interested.

I hadn't heard off him for a few days so I decided to text him myself, I know he is busy lately as he is decorating his house, and he is working nights, so I can't see texting me as being one of his priorities, but it has been nearly a week since our first date so should I wait until he is less busy to see if he is still interested or just forget him and leave it? I do want to see him again but I can't tell if he's too busy or just not interested anymore.
