I'm in a relationship with a guy who has a lot of friends that are girls. Usually he doesn't hang out with them one on one, but in a group. Recently, however, he has been. And it worries me. I know I can trust him not to cheat on me, but part of me is afraid he will fall for one of them & leave me behind. I don't believe it's fair to tell him be can't hang out with them. However, my friends think he shouldn't have a reason to hang out with them, at least not one-on-one and that if he respects me, he wouldn't hang out with them one-on-one.

I feel like I've changed A TON in a year. Do you?

BQ: What's your favorite kind of ice cream?

Falling for your guy friend.

You know what sucks more?

Him not feeling the same way back but managing to lead you on.

But you know what sucks the most?

Not being able to take back all the wasted time you spent with him.

AND still having feelings for him.

Sorry, I felt like venting. Feel free to vent!

What was the outcome?

So.. It seems as though I am always wrong in these situations.

The first time I fell for a guy was last year. He was a senior and I really liked him as more than a friend. I finally told him my feelings and we went on dates. Then another girl came into the picture and I was thrown out. We don't talk. At all. I then realized it was a bad idea to ever tell him my feelings because it wrecked our friendship

Now.. I have this guy friend that I THINK I like as more than a friend.. But I definitely don't think I should tell him my feelings like I did with the first guy. Yet it kills me every time I talk to him that he doesn't know.

So... In your own personal opinion, is it worth it to express your feelings?

In my case.. I don't think so. Just because the first guy I knew (while I expected him to leave when school was over) I was not prepared for him ditching me.

An with this second guy.. He will be graduating soon, too. So I don't want to get any more attached Than I already am.

I need help on comparing OR contrasting their ideas. I just need a topic to write about.. Maybe something that has to do with leadership? Help please!

My brother is thinking about buying Skyrim - The Elder Scrolls for Xbox. He has all of the newest games (Black Ops, Homefront, etc.,) and he's gotten bored with all of them. He believes that this game is supposed to be the best one yet and changes to make it more challenging according to what you have done so far in the game. But don't they all say they do that? My only worry is that as soon as the next popular new game comes out, he will want that one and be bored with Skyrim. So, is Skyrim really that great? Does it change to fit your game style? And is it appropriate for a fourteen-year-old?

I just really need some good songs talking about seeing an ex after a long period of time & realizing you still like him..

My story if it helps you: So there's this guy... (classic, I know) and we we're basically dating but we never put a label on it. Anyway, he ended up "cheating" on me (not technically cuz we never we're official) but it just really sucked and it took me forever to get over him. After I thought I was finally over him (hadn't seen him for 4 months and hadn't talked to him for 3) I saw him. He probably didn't see me but I saw him & It took me a month to get over him AGAIN. Well now he showed up again. Not even a month later. And he ignored me, pretended I was invisible and went on with his life. Not to mention he told all of his friends lies about me and so now they talk about me as I walk down the hall. So yeah.. basically I need a song that either says I'm not over him or that he can well.. quite frankly, go to Hell. :)

Thanks! :D

Just pick one.

I'm not gonna explain what my hair looks like. Just answer "long" or "short" & I will not/ will cut it depending on how many votes each one has :)

He's a teenager so it's normal for him to be depressed, but he says it's always in the back of his mind that he wants to kill himself. I told him how much he meant to me and asked him to call me whenever he needs to talk. Then I also suggested getting medication. Which he stubbornly said no to. Then he got mad at me for suggesting it. I'm just worried about him :( he also told me not to tell anyone... So should I tell someone? It sounds like his parents already know about it.. He just worries me and means to much for me to let this go.

My hair is semi-thin but not really. It has more of a medium thickness to it but I want to make it look thicker. Do you suggest layering it? My hair is about 8 inches down my back and has no layers, with side bangs on the right side of my face. Any pictures would be very much appreciated :) Thanks!

There's this guy that I've known for a LONG time. I was never EVER attracted to him until recently. It's going to sound weird, but a few months back I had a dream that I really like him and he liked me. In the dream we were close to dating when I woke up. After I woke up I thought 'okay eww I would NEVER like him!' but a week later I started to like him. Soon enough I could feel him staring at me and we were always flirting. We still flirt but only when we see each other and that's not often. Whenever I think about him all I can think of his being in his arms and kissing him. Is that weird?

I want to temporarily deactivate my Facebook account & there is a button for that on Facebook. It says you can reactivate it at any time but do you lose all of your friends?

I still have 3 hours to go until I go to bed and I already know I'm gonna cry myself to sleep :( Anyone else feeling like crap right now?

BQ: Nice temperature & cloudy OR sunny, cold & windy?

I really shouldn't be asking this question because that's liking giving in to the fact that people have too much power over me. But whatever. I have a bit of a dilemma and I need some advice.

About a year and a half ago I became well.. practically best friends with this guy. Long story short, I had a crush on him, he found out and it made our friendship awkward. We had been talking every day for months and I was crushed. Then he got a girlfriend and didn't talk to me. By then it was summer and I didn't care. When we went back to school he wanted to talk again. We tried talking.. But every time he talked to me I wanted to ignore him and vice versa.. At some points it seemed like he was flirting with me but I didn't want to fall for him again. That went on until this year when we started to get a long and talked every couple weeks. Then I screwed up.. I asked him if we could start over and if he remembered when we used to talk all the time. No response. Now he just stares at me and gives me weird looks in the hallway...

I finally got over him and my whole lost friendship when this new guy came into my life. Well technically I came into his.. I was the one who talked to him first, but he was the one who asked me for my number. Anyway, we started talking and things moved really fast. As in, that night he got my # he texted me and we texted for hours. The next day he asked me out.. Or at least I think he did.. I said no and he asked again. I declined then a week later asked him out :) Haha He was so sweet.. Sweeter than the first guy. And he was always complementing me and would stare at me in the hallway but was to shy to say hi. He kept trying to hang out but I was (honestly!) to busy. We still texted a lot and he and I got SUPER close. He would tell me everything.. Over winter break he hardly talked to me. Then at 2 am one night he sent me a message saying he was thinking about me.. I replied but then he never did.. A few days I found out he got a girlfriend. Which would explain the distance. I texted him asking about it and he never replied. It's been awhile and my stomach still drops when I see him or see his name. I didn't think I liked him that way.. But I guess I did cuz now I'm upset over it. I won't talk to him because he has a gf and I would never sabotage that.. I feel like I was played though.. Like he just wanted a girlfriend and called me pretty and smart and nice and sweet just to get me to go out with him. He was the first guy I ever did anything outside of school with one-on-one.. Do you think he played me??

And last but not least, I can't forget about my other ex guy friend. Yeah, I'm not good when it comes to guys. But this one I didn't have a crush on or make the first move. When we first met, back in elementary school (I'm in high school now) we hated each other. In middle school he had a crush on me. I despised him. Then this year (10th grade) he suddenly started talking to me. He was so funny and easy to read. We quickly became friends and I started trusting him with everything. And he trusted me too. We told each other everything. Well one night something changed. He told me he had a girlfriend. He even changed his Facebook status! Little did I know, he lied. And when I confronted him about it he just asked me if I was jealous. I told him I wasn't and we haven't been the same since. My friends think he liked me.. and now he gives me the cold shoulder. It really ticks me off but should I even say anything about it??

Ugh sorry that was so long.. So, basically my question is, did I screw up with all of them? Was it all my fault in all three cases? Should I try and talk to them or just move on? I'm kind of scared to go out and make moves on this new guy I like because of what happened in the past.. How can I get over the past?? Thanks!

It's happened to me so much and it just happened again last week :( I'll be really good friends and talk to guy and hang out with them and then BAM! They get a gf and stop talking to me. I mean I get it that they want to be devoted to her and all but is it really fair that they ditch me while doing it? What's your personal opinion on this? :) And, do I have a right to be mad??

I'm a sophomore in high school and i'm SO sick of school.. I can't wait until college (even though I know it will be scary being in the "real world"). I guess I'm really just sick of the people at my school more than anything.. But I do wanna get out of here and move on with my life. Does anyone else feel the same way?? None of my friends do... so that's why I'm wondering.
