What can I do to make him realize I need more space?

Q.   I have been going out with this guy for about 2 months. He is really sweet but he is moving too fast for me. I told him a couple of times that I want to take the relationship slow. He does not understand, he calls me like 5 times a day and leaves so ...

A.   17 July 2008: You have to decide what your limit to contact is - then stick with it! Right now, you're giving him mixed messages; you're saying "move slow, don't call so much", but then you answer his messages or calls when he leaves a stack of them. The taci... (read in full...)

Q.   umm, i had sex without protection and he pulled out of my vagina. after he pulled out i seen pre cum and real cum came out at the same time. but it didn't get inside of me. could i be pregnant if that happened ?...

A.   16 July 2008: Yes, you could be. And as the other poster pointed out, you could also have one or more STIs. CONDOMS, girl! No balloon, no party, OK? You probably should plan to get a pregnancy test in the next couple of weeks. The kind you get at the p... (read in full...)

How do I ask the girl in the ice cream shop out for a date?

Q.   Hi, there is this attractive girl who works at a local ice cream shop. Ive never had a big conversation with her, and i was wondering how i would go about asking her to go on a date? I was thinking about asking her out for dinner, how shou...

A.   12 July 2008: Dinner might be too much to ask, for a person that you don't know very well yet. I'd suggest meeting for coffee or a sandwich -- something a little more informal. As far as the actual asking part, a good way to start would be to find a moment w... (read in full...)

I really enjoy gay porn but also have feelings for girls...

Q.   i watch gay porn. i really enjoy it but feel bad about it and scared. but i also feel feelings for girls and feeling them! what do i do? am i really gay? or bi ?...

A.   10 July 2008: You don't have to label yourself at all. Maybe, as time goes on, you'll come to identify yourself as generally straight with bi leanings, or maybe you'll decide you're actually only attracted to men. Or maybe you'll find that, when you get a bit of ... (read in full...)

I'm afraid to tell a boy I like him

Q.   Hey. I need some serious help. I want to tell the boy I like that I like him, but i'm way too afraid of rejection. I'm afraid if I tell him I like him and he says he doesn't feel the same, that things will then be akward between us from then on. One ...

A.   10 July 2008: Try reversing the roles and see if that makes your options a bit clearer. Think about it this way: What if a guy you didn't know very well suddenly declared that he "liked you", and his hopeful expression let you know that he wanted you to say the ... (read in full...)

How can I deal with this bullying and nastiness?

Q.   hi everyone I am not sure if this is the right place to come but I seem to have run out of places for help. Ok my problem is this. I am an Australian girl who is living in England. The problem is I hate it, my dad is here for work for another 2 ye...

A.   10 July 2008: I really feel for you, hon! I was bullied by the girls in school too, and friends with the boys, so I think I know what you feel and how stressful this must be. Reading between the lines about the girls in your school, I get the impressi... (read in full...)

I don't even want to go out in public anymore thanks to this jerk at the grocery store!

Q.   Today I went to the grocery store to shop for food. My mom and sister came along. While I was standing behind my mom while she was paying the cashier. There was this stranger that took a look at me and told his friend quietly that he was standing ...

A.   10 July 2008: What you do is realise that someone who'd vocalise his thoughts like that is probably mentally deficient, and instead of feeling bad for yourself, you feel sorry for him and his scary little world. Really, take a deep breath and think about it... (read in full...)

I feel like I'm not good looking enough to meet girls, help please!

Q.   the worst part of this all is my friends tell me if they had my looks and body they would be able to get ten times more girls when we go to the clubs, sadly i disagree. I feel i am the ugliest of all my friends and it pisses me of when they say...

A.   9 July 2008: You know what? Girls aren't that interested in looks. Maybe this will surprise you, but the truth is that most girls will date a gorilla with a bad haircut if he's polite and has a good sense of humour. But a grumpy Adonis? Not so much. Ask your... (read in full...)

My girlfriend and I are rarely in contact anymore, and I like another girl!

Q.   Sorry for the length, but I desperately need help!!!I'm 12, turning 13 in about a week. Me and my girlfriend have been going out for about 6-7 months now, and I guess for our age, we have a good physical life, but since summer started we haven't ...

A.   9 July 2008: A couple of things stand out for me in your letter. You say that you miss her, but then you also don't seem to have a very high opinion of her, eg: "She sometimes expresses strong interest in other guys, and she is a bit promiscuous". You also say ... (read in full...)

I put in so much effort, and I feel like he doesn't appreciate me.

Q.   Hello everyone, Im hoping that someone out there can offer some advice.. I've been with my boy for over three years and I am utterly in love with him, however he doesn't seem to appreciate me or acknowledge anything I do, he insists that he does....

A.   9 July 2008: You can both be "right" in this situation. And you can both be "wrong". I think the issue is that you believe that your big, Hollywood-style surprises for him are a base line, a yardstick of affection, and he appears not to. Your gestures... (read in full...)

Q.   im scared. im not saying im having sex yet but i may be in the near future. im only 14 and im just five foot. i would really like to know some things that can go wrong during or after sex. sideaffects or anything. im very nieve : ]. ...

A.   9 July 2008: For a woman, speaking about the physical side of sex, the things that can go "wrong" include pregnancy, discomfort, STIs, small amounts of blood, semen and other fluids ending up where you don't want them, getting "caught" by someone, and a complete ... (read in full...)

I need to tell my girlfriend I'm gay.

Q.   Hello there, I have been seeing my girlfriend for about a year and love her dearly but not in a sexual way. Since i was about 12 i never had a sexual feeling towards girl. I've only ever see men attractive. After 8 years have decided to co...

A.   9 July 2008: I like where you've written that you "love [your] girlfriend dearly, but [you] just can't go on pretending". That's where you probably need to start in your conversation. As one of the other answers has said, your girlfriend probably has a feelin... (read in full...)
