I went out with someone I have a minor crush on earlier this week, and I  had a lot of fun. I think we both did. My problem is this: I'm not sure it was a "date". How can I tell? How can I be sure that it's  definitely "a date" the next time we go out?

 

The Questions

? Well, I have this friend and she has been there for me through thick and thin. But now she is migrating from group to group of friends. She has recently become friends with a gurl known for being very well "developed" (body image wise) and now is very nasty. I think that she is going to get hurt and try to be friends with me again. What should I do, I have told her that she is not getting a better rep by hanging out with them but she won't listen and as a friend I really don't want her getting hurt.
? Hi I'm Emma and I've got a friend who knows I fancy a certain guy but she keeps on flirting with him and now she is dating him just to get at me. I want to tell him how my friend is just using him because she knows how I feel about him but I'm afraid he will laugh at me and say I'm making it up. What should I do ?
? Hello, another lost guy here looking for a woman's opinion.

How do I know if my fiancee (ex) is really done with me? She moved out 2 1/2 months ago and we have had little contact since. Partly because I have been trying to give her space but mainly because she hasn't initiated anything. She left because she got tired of waiting for marriage. We were together for 8 years and were engaged off and on for the last 5 years. I am 41 she is 33. I always told her I wanted to marry (the truth). I was unable to because of baggage from my divorce and childhood. Her leaving was, unfortunately, what caused me to realize this. I started counseling right away and have been going consistently since she left. I have changed immensely inside and would marry her today. Because of my baggage I was also taking her for granted and disrespecting her. There was no cheating or beating or any of that. I have admitted to all of this and apologized profusely and sincerely. However, even though it has been 2 1/2 months she is still very angry and brings up every wrong thing I said or did for 8 years. She is only remembering the negative. She says that she can no longer trust me with her feelings and that if she came back things would be the same. She totally ignores all the work I have done on myself. She is afraid to get hurt again. The strange part is, even in her anger, she won't tell me to leave her alone forever or go away or get a life or f--- off or anything. She admits she still loves me. I also have a 10 year old son from the first marriage that she loves like her own. She has turned her back on everything. So how do I know if she is truly done? What is fueling her anger this long (a poison girlfriend, another man)? Do I pursue her more or totally leave her alone and just hope she comes back someday? I have not played any games so she knows exactly how I feel about her. She has me by the b---s. Help!?!?!??!
? I had been dating this guy for 7 months and we broke up for 2 months and he still kept in touch with me. he always talked about marriage and asked me to marry him a couple of times but I felt we still needed to get to know each other more. I was deeply in love with him but I felt he was putting pressure on me to get married so he asked for space and we kind of broke up but after 2 months I heard through the grapevine that he had married an old girlfriend. I felt hurt and deceived even though we were not a couple because he had slept with me a week before he got married and we were together 2 weeks after his marriage and a couple of times after that and he was still confessing his love for me but I did not know while all this was going on that he was married but now that I did asked him and he denied it and I asked him to stop calling me which he did for like a week and when he called again we spoke like just like friends but he keeps talking about me being his soul mate and how much he loves me and wish he would stop saying this cause no one forced him to get married and I think he is regretting his decision but I don't want to disrespect his wife but I wish we could be just friends. how can I get him to understand that he cannot try to see me and talk like we are a couple when he has a wife?
? I'm a 26 year female. Every since I was sixteen I knew when my period was about to come, even if I didn't look at my calendar. How? Not only will I break out in pimples but my breast will swell up and hurt, as well as other small symptoms like cravings and such. Well, for the last past year my breast doesn't swell any more and I rarely break out. And when I do get pimples I get them on my groin area or a little lower in the private are, which go away by the time my period is on or off like my normal pimples use to.. My question, do pms symptoms (if that's what you call it) change as we women get older and is it normal to get pimples in that area.
? I am a male and love wearing short tennis style skirts and tops and wear white high leg panties with them. I wish to wear them out. Do you think it would be right? And is there other feminine underwear I could wear with these outfits? I so would like to be a girl. I definitely do not love being male. I love to act and dress like girls, and definitely want to be a girl. As you are women I would like your help on girl things so I could be the girl I need to be.
? i have been going out with this boy for almost a year and he really wants to have sex with me and i want to have sex with him as well but im afraid if i do something wrong and he'll tell everyone and maybe even finish with me.
can you please give me some advice on how to have sex?
and what makes a boy feel really good during sex?
? Hi I'm 21 and there's this guy 30 that I know and he has only done these things once. Do you think there's a chance he likes me?

He has told me that he would never shout at me.
When he walks in a room that I am in he looks at me and comes over to talk to me.
One day he was talking and I said come on phone ring and when it rang he asked me IS that your boyfriend and when I said no I haven't got a boyfriend he said oh right.
Then one day he was sat on his own and he said to me do you fancy keeping me company?
He was talking on the phone and he winked at me.
Then I left the job and on my last day he looked at me all sad and said "Is this it for me and you?" I didn't know what to say.
? ok well here it goes. i am 16 years old and i am gay. i went out with one of my best friends for over a year and we were so close. just recently she and i have started to fight a lot. it was partly mine and partly hers. now she is starting to like one of my guy friends and i am getting really upset by this. not because she is or now was my girlfriend, but that he is not a good guy. sure he is my friend but he cheats on people, steals, and everything else. but see thats not the problem. the problem is i have been hiding something. one of my other good friends. lets call her jane. i started liking her when i found out i was gay (over a year ago). she is smart, beautiful, and she can sing like an angel. well long story short, i now have started hanging out with her a lot and i want to tell her how i feel but i can't because she is straight. but i really like her and i wish i could spend the rest of my life with her. what should i do?
? I am 3 months away from turning 22, I am a good looking girl, have self confidence, smart and into many different things. I enjoy meeting new people and learning as well as experiencing new things.

Lately, or really for the last 3 years I have not been able to hold a relationship. Either it is me who isn't feeling the guy, or the other way around. I definitely don't consider myself picky, I tend to go for a wide variety of guys, looks are not extremely important as long as there is an attraction both physically and mentally. Yet for years I have not been able to keep a relationship going for longer than a few months. Lately it has been getting down to a few dates and then... BAM... over with before it even begins.

I have found because of this I am starting to become jealous of my friends' relationships with men. Either there is a feeling of competition or annoyance that I am a third wheel.

I've had my bad experiences with men as well as the good ones, I have gone through the 'just bed buddies' thing as many times as I wanted, but I am looking for more now.

I tend to blame it on my social surroundings as if Los Angeles is the problem.

I definitely don't want the kind of relationships my girlfriends have with their men, I am not feeling the immediate sex anymore. I know either way it goes, a guy is going to stick around if he wants to, sex or no sex.

But I am starting to think something must be wrong with me. Maybe I am too prude. Maybe I am not loosening up enough. Whatever it is, I am lonely now. I would really like to have a commited relationship now.

I am afraid the only answer is to wait for the right guy, but I don't want to become a cynical old lonely woman with tons of animals!

I have been married for a year and a half now and everything is going good except for one thing. My husband stares at other women everytime we go out. I have told him that I don't like this and how it makes me feel very insecure with our marriage, but he still does it. What can I do? Should I ignore it? That is so hard to do, I think what he is doing is very rude, and it embarasses me to be there with him when he does this. I have tried to return the favor and he flips out when I do it. I am starting to question whether or not I can stay in a marriage with someone who continously does this to his wife. Am I over-reacting or what? PLEASE HELP, this is eating me alive!

I don't have many freinds, and those that I do have are too nice to really be honest with me, so I wondered if you might help here. I'm 25, and at the half way point in transitioning from male to female. I'm freindly, approachable, have a feminine appearance, and to the world I present the image of a normal woman.

However, I have noticed that a lot of girls tend to shun me or give me 'looks' , as if I might be a danger to them. When using the ladies' or buying cothes, they seem to give me a wide berth and distance themselves from me in a way that makes me feel that I'm unwelcome or undesireable, and all I want is to be accepted as any other womem.

I'm working towards surgery to make my transition complete, and as such have to live as a woman 24 / 7 for at least 2 years.. Having been on hormone treatment for over a year now, I am as feminine as most women but still I sense rejection from my contemporaries, especially in a strictly female environment. As I said, my freinds re-assure me that I'm fine, but I'm still unsure. How do you feel about girls like me? Am I a monster, is it curiosity that causes people to avoid me or am I just paranoid?

It's a tough situation, and I didn't choose to be this way but I'm determined to get through this. It would just be a lot easier if others would be honest with me and not always keep me at arms length.

I have a problem that nobody can solve! I had a boyfriend for 2 years. I recently had a baby for him (6 months ago). This is where the problem begins! I didnt tell him I was pregnant, he found out the day after I had the baby. Anyways we got in our first fight that month which was 6 months ago and things just went down hill from there. He said he still loved me and we still had a relationship and were very close! My parents got involved about 2 months later and didnt want us together and wouldnt let me take the baby to his house or let me at his house! .. Im not a child either Im 19 years old but since I live in my parents house I had to obey theyre rules and what they said because if they kicked me out I had nowheres to go with a baby. Anyways .. Me and him broke up 2 months ago over the whole situation of him never getting to see the baby. I thought I got over it pretty quick .. I knew I still loved him tho .. And always figured we'd end up back together .. anyways .. I went to his house 2 weeks ago to try to work things out .. and he didnt want to he told me he moved on and that I should to. And that he didnt love me anymore .. But in the same breath he went out with me and we had sex .. He really does have a new gf .. I talked to her about our situation and how there is a baby in the middle but she didnt want to listen. I really do love him and I really want things to work out for the baby's sake .. I know our relationship wasnt that bad and that it could be worked out .. I just dont know what to do!! My heart is broken into a million pieces .. Another thing is .. He doesnt give me any child support for this baby and never has. His gf knows that we went out 2 weeks ago and doesnt care she thinks Im lying about it .. I dont know what to do. I dont know if he's still really mad at me or if he's trying to put up a wall! .. PLEASE HELP!! My head is a mess :(

Hi, I am in a really strange position but I look to you to provide insight on what a girl is feeling, or at least what you think. The girl and I both attend college and this first started out at orientation. We coincidently sat next to each other and initially I thought she was cute and nice, but nothing, I mean nothing that I would want to try and hook up. But as the school year progressed, I found out we are living in the same building and we started to hang out a lot. Like I am talking about almost everyday we would see each other and this became an attraction. Now it is the fifth week of school and I really do like her. I actually want to see if things could work out now, but I am not sure if she wants the same thing as me. When we hang out we are flirty and touchy, she always gives me this smile and just stares at my eyes as I do the same. We went out on our first date which was a sorority invite (when the girls take the guys out). We went out to a club and we danced, we freaked, and I received some mixed signs there. We’d dance close one song, then we’d kind of break apart. But when we did she’d look at me and smile. I guess I am trying to say that I was the only one who tried to make contact on the date. And then when we got back to her place, she sat on the couch while I was across form her in a chair. Maybe I am looking at the details too much or maybe not. Can you help me? Does she like me and if so, is it so much that she wants anything to happen? P.S. She has also invited me over for Thanksgiving since my home is out of state and I wasn’t going back for the break.

Hi. this is my problem. I like a guy that has a girlfriend. But she's not as pretty as I am and she's a freshman and I'm a senior and the guy is a junior. Well a friend of mine told him that I like him and I kinda think he's interested in me. But he's still with his gf and i want them to break up. Is there a chance that he'd go out with me since he knows that someone prettier than his gf likes him?

I am 29. I will be 30 Sunday. My boyfriend of 3 years is 31. His ex wife that he has two kids with is 28. His boys are 8 & 10. He comes over most nights. He gets the kids everyother weekend and on Tuesdays. I have never been married and don't have kids and don't want kids of my own. I am having a hard time dealing with his ex wife because she never does what she says she will do, she has nude pictures of herself on the internet, and she left a note in his truck. She also asked him what it would take for him to come home. She is remarried but sep. She also has a one year old child from anohter man (not her husband). I have anxiety when he calls over there to check on the kids because I am afraid he will engage her in conversation and go back home for the kids because she does need help. Plus he knows I don't want kids of my own. I want this to work becasue I do love him but I am scared of her and what she might do next. I don't trust her and I would be afraid to marry him for fear she would try to come to my home. Can you help me cope and get numb to the situation as what I am doing is clearly not working?

Last year I met this guy and we bacame real good friends with benefits. We've been friends now for 6 going on 7 months. But then as my birthday approached he asked me out as him being my present. I said yes and it went great. It was like when ever we were together the whole world didnt matter. Never was there a boring moment. But then I made a mistake and we borke up but then we got back together and he forgave me for what i did. But then 7 months later we break up. But then I wanted him back but he said no. So i left it at that. Him andI are still good friends. We have this bond to where if we try to say good bye to each other it doesnt work out because we cant say those final words good bye. But I still miss him and we are still good firends with benefits.sometimes i get mad at the situation but i would rather have his friendship thatn nothing at all. Do I continue this relationship that we have or do I let it go? (its been five going on six months do I say those final words good bye?)do i love him Yes. so very much and he still says that he loves me and doesnt ever want to lose me. What do i do?

I've liked my close friend for a little over a year now. I've grown to love his company and simply love him more everyday.  Well, the snag is, he has a girlfriend who's a freshman in high school (we're in 8th grade), so he spends any spare time with her.  I've battled between saying something or settling with just being a close friend.  But I have strong  feelings for him, though I doubt he has as great feelings for me. Anyways, I've cried because I've cared about him so much, but is it right for me to just wait and hope we stay close friends?

I’m a freshman in high school and just started going out with a great cute guy.  We have known each other since last summer when he umpired one  of my softball games. I really really like him and I  think I love him but sometimes I just get fed up with him being so clingy. He is a year older then me and is talking about us being together for a long time.  Like telling me I’m the one. I’m just scared that since he is such a nice guy I won’t be able to dump him. And  I’m young and stupid and don’t want to spend my best years tied down to the wrong person.  I mean he is  great and I love him right now, but he is really  possessive and kind of never gives me any space. He  always has to know where I am going and wants me to call all the time. I want to hang out with just the girls sometimes and he doesnt want me to.  What should I do??? Please help.
