  • I think only you can decide if you are bothered that much by the fact she has a child. We can't really advise you on that, because some people giving advice wouldn't care if a girl had a child and others would find it really hard to raise someone else's son. So, you need to think carefully about how you feel about that. Because it's going to make the whole thing a little more complex. You see, if you get with a girl, and it doesn't work out for whatever reason, then you usually just move on. But…

  • You have 2 choices really. You can either tell him, or not tell him. If you tell him, and he likes you as well, then it's fine. You both can maybe start taking things to the next level. If you tell him and he doesn't like you in that way, then you haven't lost anything, but at least you know where you stand, and you can move on, and stop wasting time thinking about him in that way. Or you can not tell him, and always wonder. The danger is, if you don't tell him, someone else might have their eye…

  • Hi Ally, The only thing that always worries me with good friends starting a relationship is, well, the danger of losing that friendship if it doesn't go right. That's all. I think it's a chance, a slight risk, but sometimes it's worth that risk. Let's face it, a life with no risks at all is going to be quite boring, isn't it. So, it should be sometimes calculated. And..when I read this, I think it would be a good risk to take. He seems to like you back, or he wouldn't have responded. Maybe you a…

  • I personally wouldn't go out with someone if you are not sure. I always think that instinct is usually right, and if you're not 100% sure, or don't have those feelings that you 'have to have them', then it would say to me that you like them, as a friend more, and not really as a partner. And if you try and date them, with those shallow emotions, you run the risk of it not working, and you lose a friend out of it, which sucks. You have sort of answered your own question. You are still thinking ab…

  • I think what you had that night was one of those nights that isn't planned. It's something that happens, a wonderful sort of event that randomly seems to occur when you least expect it. It was nice that you cuddled and you held hands and everything. I can imagine it being a really special night. After though, his actions are not really of someone who is really into you. He is being quite cold and distant with you, and only cuddled you that other time because someone told him to, and from your wo…

    Sometimes, it's easy to fall into a routine, and after a while, you do the same things, at the same time, and you crave for something new and exciting to happen. When you first met, you probably did things differently. However, life moves on, maybe things happen like school changes or work starts, and a routine starts. And it changes how you both interect with each other. As Kelly has said, you could think about things to do that will inject something into the relationship. What do you both have…

    I feel what you're saying. I have always felt the same way as you, in fact, that led to me having much older friends when I was younger. When I was 13 or 14, my best friends were all 18 or 19, and it was purely because they seemed to have a slightly more mature outlook on life, and were not always thinking or talking about the same, boring things. I have always thought that sex was something amazing and beautiful with the right person, and pointless with someone you don't know or won't ever know…

  • Hi Sasha, I usually am the type of person who would reply with a long message on this, because I always like to go over options open to you. But in this case, sadly, I don't need to, as there's only one really clear option open to you. And that is to forget about Riley, as others have said, and move on. He is obviously living in some kind of fantasy world, and if he's going to lie to you about silly things, you'd never trust a word he said. Sadly, he sounds like he has a lot of growing up to do,…

  • Hi Kyra, I think he does seem interested, by the way he is watching you when speaking, and keeping eye contact with you. And the fact he seemed deflated when you told him about your friend coming in and you collecting him would suggest that he is somewhat interested in you. The thing I found a little worrying was, you don't say you corrected him for thinking wrongly. For example, I am not saying you should go into your life history, but when you told him about the friend and you collecting him, …

  • Wow, I have never seen anyone type like that before! I managed to work out what you were saying, so it's OK, but it doesn't make it easy =] Anyway...well, you need to talk to him. He asked you out in a text, and you say he was being nice and calling you sweet names, and then it has stopped. You also say you haven't seen him since that time he asked you out. So, where does he plan on taking you? Or is it one of these where you're 'going out' but not actually going anywhere? Seriously, you do need…

  • hmm..well, it's hard to tell from that, however, there are a lot of positives there which may be a good sign. For a start, you have been talking to her in class, which is always good. A chance to get to know each other better. Secondly, she asked you to be her partner in assignment which is also a good sign, she wanted to spend more time talking to you, and work on whatever you were doing together. And lastly, when she said 'see you tomorrow' she used your name. If you notice, you rarely would u…

  • I think what he said to you was quite hurtful. You don't take someone home, or back to your place, and spend all night with them just because they seem upset. It's just silly. I think he is playing games with you, to be honest. He knows that you still have some feelings for him, I am sure your body language gives it away anyway, and so he feels in control and can pretty much do or say anything, and you will always be there. Personally, I wouldn't get back with him, because your life seemed much …

  • Hi Arty, I think, however much it hurts, she's got a good point. I think it is the best idea, really, to stay away from them and to spend a little more time making new friends. I have spoke before about how it's a form of self torture to be around someone you really want but can't have, for whatever reason. And that actually could be a huge part in your current emotional meltdown. I am not saying by doing this, all your problems will magically go away, but I am pretty sure they will be helped a …

  • Unless he was totally drunk on the verge of passing out, I am sure he does remember what you said. It's the sort of comment, and thing that even if you're drunk, it does go into your brain and you recognise what someone has said to you. I don't want to say it's a rejection as such, but for some reason, he's not wanting to talk about it. Now, it could be a few things. Maybe he doesn't feel the same way about you, and he's just hoping that it doesn't come up again to avoid awkwardness. He may not …

  • I think the problem is that you're really good friends with Mike, and that should count for something. If you did try and be with her, in any sense, then it would destroy that friendship for good. And I don't know if it's worth it. Girls can come and go, you know? but friends, good friends, who you have known for a long time, are usually around much longer. He wouldn't ever trust you again, and more than that, would probably get the support of all your friends in that group, as suddenly, by gett…

    Waiting can be an affective form of self torture. If love isn't recipricated, then moving on is the only way to prevent a broken heart getting destroyed further. In my opinion

  • I think deep down, you already know the answer to this question, you just needed a few other people to agree with you. The answer is quite plain, in my opinion. He's not respecting you, he's borderline using you as some kind of sex object and he's not even keeping the communication by calling you when he should be. People do change. Sometimes, it's to do with people he hangs out with, other times it's hormonal and as someone gets older, they can change quite dramatically. You know, if you're wit…

  • OK, well that's slightly different. If she broke up with you, then you just need to either have a chat with her or write her a note, and say that you really want to be friends again. You miss being a part of her life, and you want to be able to at least talk to her again and be friends. You know, at the time, you acted a little foolish when you broke up, but that was just because you were hurt and didn't expect it to happen. And you didn't mean anything you did or said at the time to hurt her. I…

  • For some reason, in relationships, quite often the guy's mother has issues with their girlfriends. And I have no idea why. I'm not saying it never happens the other way around, it does, but it does seem more prevelant the other way. It's strange. Hard to explain - I guess it could be the old addage that 'nobody is good enough for my son' kind of thing, I don't know. You could talk to her, but generally speaking, her mind is probably made up and you won't break down that wall. You should try and …

  • Hi Adam, Well, you never know how she feels about it until you say something. BUT, if you do say something, and she doesn't feel the same way, it could change the whole dynamic of the friendship. So, you maybe should try and investigate it a little first, and use some subtle questions and probing to find out if she might be interested or not. Some people, like Joe said, are not keen on long distance relationships, and unless you have a plan and a way of being together within let's say a reasonab…
