B a i l e y.

I've been with my boyfriend for 10 months and there are no butterflies in my stomach when I'm around him at all. I care about him, We want to do what is best for both of us and we support each other when it's necessary. Neither of us has said 'I love you' yet, as we want those words to actually have meaning.

Can you be in love without feeling butterflies?

Title says it all: Been with my boyfriend for 10 months and neither of us has said those special three words. Is this normal? :)

He and I had conversations about it. He wants to wait for the perfect time, says it'll be worth it when we remember how intense and emotional that night was.

We take our relationship seriously, which is something a lot of people don't do today. We don't want to say 'I love you' just to say it; we want to say it when we're 100% certain we can't see ourselves with anybody else for the rest of our lives. I've had other boyfriends, he's had other girlfriends - and none of them have ever been this important. He never waited - always rushed. I never waited - always rushed; but for some reason, simply being where we are - with each other - is good enough for us.

Hi everybody!

In 3 months, my boyfriend and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary. I want to spend that time in a hotel but I am not so sure about it. The suite consists of a Jacuzzi, which is why the cost is so high for two nights. What do you think? Does this sound ridiculous?

I don't care if my body is capable of delivering another human being, I feel that the reason I'm here is to make the world a better place with education. I want to care and advocate for children that never had a family (become a Youth Worker for them); I don't have the motherly instinct to bring a child into this world for selfish reasons (a 'little me' as a lot of women say, filling a void in my life, etc). I have another path I hope to achieve; a stable career, money to support my partner, helping children with behavioral issues an so on. Is this normal?

Call me greedy. I don't want to spend money on anything unless it is absolutely necessary. This does not mean that I do not care about people, I do and this is why I want to make a world a better place by helping family with children that cannot handle their behaviors. I want to help children that were victims of abuse.

Help needed!

I took a test this evening after being 13 days late. Negative Result.

Sex occurred on the 19th, 20th and 21st of August. On the 1st of Sept, I thought I was getting my period as I had cramps that were normally associated with it. However, these cramps lasted for ten days (extremely unusual!!) and continue to make me feel as though I need daily trips to the washroom, just to see if the wetness is my monthly visitor. So far, no period.

I gag with certain products, like Chicken (when I LOVE it). No idea why, as this test clearly states that I am not pregnant and this odd behavior has never happened before.

The last time I had intercourse with my boyfriend was on August 19th, 20th and 21st. Two weeks after that, I developed what I thought was my period; these cramps began three days before my expected gift was suppose to arrive and continued for another seven days (Sept 1st - 10th). Aunt Flow never came for a visit.

Could I be pregnant, even though I have no other symptoms?

Hi everybody!

I had cramping 3 days before my expected period. These cramps lasted for about a week after my period was due. It never came, and those cramps in the lower abdominal have gone too.

Could I be pregnant? ~

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 7 months. We have been very close with each other and have formed a solid connection because of it. There is no lovey dovey feelings; it's all about equal respect, understanding, responsibility and concern for each others health. He takes care of my personal needs as an individual and I take care of his, as well. I want him to be happy and I made this one of my many priorities as his girlfriend. He does the same, reads my body language.

I cannot seem to help myself when around him. I find myself becoming ready to say those three words I haven't said for over 16+ months prior. I'm not sure what to do or say? .. I feel as though I found the man I'll spend my life with, even though I'm only 20 years old.

That's right. ~ After 7 months of dating each other, my boyfriend and I have come to the topic of Marriage.

He and I have never had a connection like this with any of our exes. We are able to hold a conversation with each other and have it not turn sexual, we can do the errands that need to be done without obsessing over when we'll see each other again and we are not jealous about what we experienced with exes before becoming a couple (you know; the past is the past and shouldn't affect your future). Is this normal? ~ I feel like he and I have a mature relationship for just 20 year olds.

I want to move in with him one day. He said that he made mistakes in his past, like we all have and that he wants to avoid everything he's done wrong so that this relationship turns out exactly how he wants.

My boyfriend is a sweetheart. He's 22 years old, has his own apartment and wants to cook a homemade meal for both of us. I was single for a year before I met him, and it's been fantastic so far.

I want to do something for him as well. I want to be creative, and make a hidden book safe that will be filled with a few dollars, his favorite gummy candy and some love notes about how I've been feeling these 6 months. I also want to make a plushie of his favorite animal. Does this sound good - or is it cliche as ever? :)

We've been dating dating for 5 months so far. Things have been great, but I haven't seen him in over a month now. I'm not sure what to do about it - every time we have a talk it's always 'I have responsibilities at home' (with no job).

I understand he has pets to take care of, but his roommate could easily deal with them for a few hours while he's with me. I just feel so alone - I want to remain faithful but I want a man that actually spends time with me.. not just one day out of 30+ days. What should I do? I feel like he'd rather be with his roommate (homosexual friend) than with me.

Hi everybody. : )

Some help would be appreciated.

I took Plan B in March and experienced side effects of that in April. I'm not sure if a woman can still be affected by that - but I haven't had a menstrual in over 2 months. Yesterday, I experienced what I thought was my menstrual - but something is different; the bleeding is very slight, and scanty. It isn't getting heavier and has currently disappeared. I have pink/brown discharge on and off; the bleeding is so little that a pad isn't needed.

Could this be my menstrual, or implanation? I've been having unprotected sex as well.

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 5 months so far and I have no excited 'oh my goodness' feeling. I do, however, care about him a lot and I want to do the best I can for the both of us.

I used to have butterflies in my stomach when I was dating my ex but that relationship is something I want to avoid in my future. I've been single for over a year before I met my current boyfriend, so is it normal to have no butterflies?

Explain personality, looks, etc. :)

I find a person that speaks honesty, and their mind to be attractive. I enjoy a person that is different from society norms as well; somebody that isn't afraid to be different and has courage. I want somebody that can handle - and keep an intellectual conversation going. ~

So, I'm 19 years old.

I recently developed warts (or so I think) on my fingers. I've never had them before, so does this make me dirty?

I now have severe anxiety when it comes to anything romotely emotional. I cannot be the person I am, without being afraid that death threats are going to happen again..

I trust my boyfriend. It's not that the relationship is something I don't want; it's the fact that, because of past issues and abuse, I am not entirely sure how I'm suppose to respond toward affectionate words and actions. I'm terrified that if I show that I do care, I'll have to wrestle knives away from his flesh (as I did previously before in another relationship) or be constantly manipulated to think that he is bleeding to death.. Those images, and anxiety I felt at the time (almost 17 months ago), still upset me.

I cry constantly as well.. I don't want to be the cause and reason for the suicide of somebody. Those threats happened so much, that I live in fear every day now. I'm terrified that the hallucinations of blood are going to happen again.. and I really don't know what to do.

I'm not complaining by any means, I'm just a bit confused.

All my life, I never had much attention from men because I was the shy woman with a little extra meat on her bones. I'm 30+ pounds overweight (although I personally cannot see the weight on my body) and my boyfriend has said he enjoys that I'm not a walking skeleton like so many other women (now-a-days) are.

I always thought I had to fit into a size 0 - 5, but now I feel beautiful with the body I have. Does my boyfriend have normal behavior? Are there other men that enjoy a little something on a woman's body?

I was involved with a person for a year. The relationship was psychologically abusive, which lead me to develop:

- Hallucinations;

I was seeing blood on any visible body part, and this lasted for 10+ months.

- Flashbacks;

Certain things would remind me of feeling horrified, and I'd break down.

- Nightmares;

I'd wake up in an instant, afraid for my life and was on guard every single time. My heart was racing as well.

- Detachment;

I felt as though I couldn't relate or feel close to my family. It was like my body, wasn't my body anymore. Mind was clouded for months.

Even now, 16+ months after, I still find myself on edge. I still cannot fully feel connected to people as much as I'd like, and I break down as well - especially at night when those thoughts of terror start. Always had to wrestle knives or razor blades away from my former lover, and it's still difficult to deal with; this has even put a strain on my current relationship. Terrified that they'll die, that I'll be the reason they do.
