I really like this guy… and he told me he likes me too, and that he doesn’t want me to go out with any other guys. But I heard he took another girl to the basketball game last week, and he never wants to have the conversation about whether or not we’re “official.”

Meanwhile another really nice guy asked me out, but I want to stay loyal to the first guy. Is the first guy just messin with me, or should I hang in there?

My girl wants my E-mail passwords. I’ve got nothing to hide from her, but something is holding me back. She says that she trusts me, but there shouldn’t be a reason she can’t have my password.

I don’t know… should I give her my password?

I have a friend that is in deep love with this girl but she doesn’t feel the same. We have told him many details and facts on how they wouldn’t be a good match (as well as her telling him she doesn’t like him) but he still doesn’t listen. Now he tells us he has brought her a gift. How do I stop him from getting his heart broken?

I really love my boyfriend but it seems as though sex keeps surfacing in many of our conversations I try to turn a blind eye to it but he feels like if i loved him then i have to have sex with him. I do love him but I’m REALLY REALLY not ready for that type of commitment especially in high school. I feel like if i don’t then he’ll leave it’s so hard to try and stick to my morals and what i think is right and trying to make him happy.

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for several months and our relationship is kind of shaky he has broken it off with me MANY times but an hour or 2 later he would get back with me I’m not very comfortable with this because I don’t want him to feel like he can continue to do it I love him ALOT but I want us to have a stable relationship

My boyfriend and I have been together for a long time and I love him, but lately he’s been lying to me. He smokes, but promised he’d quit. He knows I don’t like it and it’s unhealthy. But I keep catching him with cigarettes! Every time he apologizes and promises he’s really going to quit this time, but it’s been a year and he keeps saying he quit, but I keep catching him. Honestly, it bothers me more that he lies then smokes. What do I do?

My BFF started dating a new guy who doesn’t like me at all. We talked and she and I agreed to not let that separate us as friends and I promised not to say anything nasty about her boyfriend and she promised to respect my wishes and not bring him when we hang out together.

But I haven’t heard from her in months! I miss her so much, but she keeps posting on facebook how happy she is. It makes me so sad that she can be so happy without me. I feel like this guy is separating her from me, but I don’t want to start drama.

Should I even try to talk to her?
