My ex and I dated for two years. He was my everything. This past year, his sister and her boyfriend of five years broke up. Also, his parents got divorced. This year I noticed some pretty big trust issues had developed. He had a hard time communicating with me when he was upset. I would find myself having to prod him to figure out what was wrong. He went to Europe for a month, during which time we communicated through email. I only mentioned how much I loved him and couldn't wait to see him. In one really long email, I mentioned that I might go hang out with a guy friend. My at the time boyfriend didn't respond for two days, and then said he felt weirded out that I would just be talking about how many guys I was going to hang out with while he was gone.

The next time I wanted to hang out with a guy friend I tried to be sensitive to his jealousy issues, and I even asked to make sure he was okay with it.

This caused another fight where he ignored me for three days and wouldn't tell me what was wrong.

Since we're both going to colleges five hours away from each other, he was adamant about breaking up before college.I told him I didn't want to, but I didn't beg him to stay with me. I was under the impression that I would wait for him and then we would get together over breaks. When I asked to come see him, he told me he didn't want to see me. In a nice way. I was crushed. He proceeded to not talk to me for a month.

During this time, I felt like complete and utter ****. My friends encouraged me to get over it. I was still upset over it. I ended up sleeping with someone else. It didn't mean the same thing to me at all. In fact, it made me miss my ex even more. It forced me to deal with the fact that I still really love him, and even if he didn't want me, I couldn't try and replace him.

Then 3 weeks later, my ex-finally called me back. We've been talking, everything has been like normal. I haven't been this happy in a while, but I felt so bad about sleeping with someone else, even though I was upset and it didn't mean anything to me. I told my ex, and he cried. He said he needs time to think about if he can see me the same way again.

I understand why he's upset, but he made it seem like he never wanted to see me again. Apparently he was "just ignoring me because he didn't want to get hurt and think about how much he missed me". Do you think that he has a right to not take me back? I didn't do any of this to hurt him. I was upset, I was irrational. If I had known he had any shred of love left for me I never would have never done it.

Weirdest place, funniest place, or most unusual circumstances you've made out in?

For example, I've made out on a lawnmower, but I am not at all a redneck.

Interested to see what other people have to share about this. Haha

I'm a fairly ambitious person. I transfered from my public high school to a private high school with a reputation for rigorous classes-which also includes mandatory participation on sports teams all year round.

My GPA took a hit this past year because I did terribly in geometry. I tried everything (two tutors, lots of extra help, endless studying) but still managed to come out with a D+. I have never gotten this grade before. Despite not being THE smartest kid at my school, I am still fairly bright--and I really feel like my GPA from this year doesn't reflect my ability very well. I came out with a 3.2 overall GPA this year. Needless to say I'm still pretty sore about this. Kids in easier classes have better GPAs. (I took AP Euro this year too and got a B+, for example)

My current schedule is:

AP English 11

AP US History

Algebra 2

Regular Chemistry

Spanish 4

However, due to a scheduling conflict, to take Spanish 4 I would have to take Advanced chemistry.. A class I really don't want to take.

I'm going to Middlebury language camp this summer, and although I just completed spanish 2, I can probably move up to Spanish 4 after camp. I am very passionate about Spanish. I really want to take Spanish 4, but my Mother (as well as myself) is afraid that if I take Advanced Chemistry/Spanish 4 I will ruin my GPA.

I'm not sure how colleges will view this. Harder classes or higher GPA?

What should I do? Everyone has been encouraging me to take Spanish 4...

I'll try to keep it short.

Basically, this guy has been texting me a lot lately (I usually don't respond) and last night we videochatted for about four hours (craziness!) We've never talked that well or that long. Conversation when I actually initiate or anything is usually pretty boring and uneventful. Should I text him back or is my appeal being hard to get?

I know it sounds pretty triffleish, but input would be appreciated! Thanks!

This guy who used to flirt with me constantly and very openly (as he did with many other girls) has still been texting me even though he has a girlfriend. Even though he isn't outright flirting with me, isn't it sort of wrong that he's still texting me at all? Or am I just making a big deal out of it? I don't want to say anything. I have no interest in him anymore anyways.

He's not the type of guy that would just want to text friends who are girls, either. He doesn't REALLY have friends who are girls.

Let me know. Thanks! =]

Why?

My friend and I at first thought it might be russian, but we're not sure.

What do you think?

On a plane ride, I nervously went through a ton of very sugary candy on the right side of my mouth, hoping to keep away a sinus toothache. (Which is the worst feeling I've ever experienced)

Long story short, I had a ton of acidic candy (such as sour patch) rubbed directly along the inside of the right side ofmy mouth.

Now that side on the inside of my mouth is irritated and rough feeling? In fact it has a few small brown spots that bleed a little if I brush them.

Also, I was brushing my teeth today and I noticed a whiteish covering (much like the skinish stuff that results from warming up a glass of milk)

I'm not sure if I should take it off as it may help with healing?

What is this, is this normal, should I worry, what can I do about it?

Thank you so much for your help!

Okay. So I recently started going out with this really nice (pretty nerdy) seeming guy.

However....he's an experienced nerd. (legitimately) as I've recently found out. We've gotten about to second base...I don't like kissing him.

I like him, but he's often sappy or kind of mumbles on about love.

I feel kind of scared away/insulted that I'm not the first girl that he's done stuff with. If that makes sense. (We haven't done anything really experienced together...I wouldn't do that)

I don't want to break up but I'm not sure how committed I am, and he's very committed.

I'm not sure what to do...help?

I had my first kiss a couple weeks ago with a guy I really like. It was odd and slimey and I wasn't really a fan. However, since I'm new I figured I'd get over the weirdness and start to like it.

I haven't. The kisses end up being really wet and I always pull away first. I don't really enjoy it at all.

I've told him I might like it better if it were less wet....but he just keeps saying it's better that way?

I'm not really sure what to do....I don't really like to kiss him and I can tell it frustrates him.

He's had girlfriends in the past and I assume he's probably on a scale of things a decent kisser.

Last night I had my first kiss.

I was just going to kiss him on the cheek but he kind of turned his head and we got awkward then.

Then he just kind of kissed me?

I didn't really like it at all. He's a great guy, but it was kind of awkward and wet?

It didn't really POP like I thought it would....

Apparently he liked it but I had to kind of lie and go around the subject

Said we'd work on it?

Help?

Lately I'm really into this guy and he seems to show signs of liking me.

He's a year older than me, we're both in high school.

He had a girlfriend for a couple of months and they were reeeeeeally close. She went to college though, and they broke up about a month ago.

I really like him and he's constantly been chatting me up/casting glances/ trying to get my attention.

I'm still a little nervous about his ex though. I think they still talk. I know she's out of reach...but....

Advice? Is he really interested/could anything come out of this? Or am I just a short term fix?

(he's not, by any means, a ladies man)

What song is this? I can't find it! D:

A giraffe, a bear, and a ferret together. What animal (that is already in existence) do you think they would make combined?

I'm guessing one of the political boards or the religious boards.

...and would we win?

Yeah, I don't usually text much. Since my Dad bought me an iphone he only went with the $5 texting.

Too bad I became a fiend this month...damn you touch keyboard. Haha

Turns out I went wayyyy over my 200 text limit and I think the bill is apparently $249.00.

What is the biggest texting bill YOU'VE ever recieved? (over the period of a month)

Long story short I'm head over heels for this guy.

We talked a lot for a while...(never in person but yes I've met him and talked to him in person, we're both in highschool, he isn't a cyber creep) and then he went away with his family two weeks. When he came back we talked basically once or twice in two weeks. Only over facebook chat even though we have each others number!

I mean, if he wanted to talk to me on the phone, He'd call ME...so I didn't want to seem clingy by calling him first.

Last time I talked to him he seemed really sidetracked and uninterested and I had to start the convo.

I've convinced myself I'm over him and then when we talk online (I've tried to set up a date....) I'm right back where I started!

Is he just playing me? (Seems like too much effort to talk to me so much if he's just stringing me along) Plus if he was playing me he'd probably want to get physical, which he hasn't.

I'm nuts about him and I love the high feeling I get when I realize I like him again.

But why would he be playing hot and cold?

Guy I like/have been talking to on facebook chat for a month went to Florida for two weeks and got back last Saturday. We talked like three or four days ago once, he seemed excited to see me.

"Hey!!!"

And then when I said, "I never actually got your phone number...=]"

He was like: "Sisisi" And then gave it to me.

We had a good conversation....but then he hasn't been on in probably four days?

He has my number...I tried texting him like two days ago. No response.

I'm so confused.

Is he just not interested anymore?

If he's gone he could have told me...he has my phone number...

Does he like someone else? He could get plenty of other girls. =/

Another important thing....he doesn't seem to ever go out with girls.(No, he isn't gay. ) They all seem to put the effort in to talk to him, flirt with him, etc.

He'll start a convo with me but I've had to try and ask him out. I've basically done that, he said we should go get lunch sometime...and no date was ever set.

What is going on?
