  • Did she break up with me or was it me?

    Singles & Dating - 4 hours ago

    Additional Details

    A few weeks ago she asked whether I was happy with her and if I wanted to continue the realtionship given she felt I still liked my ex. Two weeks later I broke up with her saying that I didnt think there was any future for us. Not because of the ex, but because we were not the right match. She agreed. A few weeks after when I called her she asked that I stop contacting her because she had found the the emails I had sent to my ex during our relationship. I had written how much I loved my ex and thought of her and how little my current gf meant. I was definetly embarrased, but still dont think we belong together. My question really is....was it me or did she break up..or was it mutual?

    am 14 and i have this friend that is about 13 i knew her since like 4 years now and shes always been a nice helpfull person when we got to our secondary school at the end of year seven she started having fights at school and at the start of year 9 she told me she had sex with this random person and now she does it all the time. Yesterday i spoke to her and she was like ohh you know that guy from our year i had it with him. So all im wondering about is why does she do it and does she think it makes her seem cooler ?? Its maybe because she lives in a bad area or that she has 16 brothers and sisters and she is trying to have her own life without them i dont know what to think ???

  • My girlfriend broke up with me... I dont know how to take it in... Plus I have other things making me worry?

    Additional Details

    My girlfriend broke up with me and this relationship was so much to me. She gave me my first kiss, she was always so nice, we were perfect in my eyes. We lived far apart, but I litterally walked 5 miles to see her at least 3 times a week. We lasted for 4 months, when she broke up with me... the hard part is that a couple days later she started dating a chick. It makes me feel like shit to think that I did something wrong, in fact, so wrong to turn her all the way to lesbian, and even harder to take in, is that she looks happier! I know I should move on, and I am... but She ment everything to me, and I feel like I was just being used. Other than this, my mother took custody of me, so I see my dad only on the weekends, and I really hate it over here. She yells at me, loses it all the time and I hate it. I've considered running away over night back to my dads, or my papa's. My friend recently died over here, my gf broke up with me over here, and I feel like this town is not where I belong. The school is so violent and ghetto, I am angry with my self and feel like an idiot for having so many problems. So far yahoo answers is the best thing because I can talk to people and they can help me.... Maybe it's just a stage, but I truly feel like I'm alone. I dont get along with the people here, and I'm just really depressed. Thanks to anyone who has enough time to read this.... I've helped alot of people on here I believe, and I just want some back. Not in a rude way, people do help, but you know... lol (I'm glad I can even say that...)
  • This is really confusing, can I get some help?

    If she has you hold her and link arms and wont let you kiss her but it's obvious there's something there, what the hell's going on lol? She asks me how I am in relationships, she keeps bringing up gf and bf thigns. She put some flowers I gave her in her scrapbook. She told me today that I'm the only guy that's ever made her nervous and that she sees the way I look at her. She looks in my eyes and says she feels theres something I want to tell her, and there is that I like her, should I turn this into a relationship? Next time I speak to her I'm going to ask her on a date.
  • Should I have done this?

    Okay, so over the years my best friend has had a really great boyfriend - or so we thought. I'm regretting it a little since I got myself involved, but what he did to her was really horrible and the way it ended wasn't good at all. I'm not going to dive too deep into the details of what happened, but since I'm trying to help my friend cope I came up with a silly and stupid ploy to do for revenge. Apparently he cheated on her with this asian girl, and I feel cruel for doing this but I photoshopped his head onto a body of a Geisha... LOL!!!!! Stupid and immature, but my best friend Jenna needed a good laugh. We're debating whether or not we should send him and that girl the photo on Myspace or Facebook, but I'm kinda scared to, haha. What do you say? I think he deserves some embarrassment... Original picture - http://i45.tinypic.com/2d9bfo0.jpg Geisha makeover - http://i45.tinypic.com/142ubn8.jpg Hahaha, it's official. I am awesome. <3
  • Am i wasting my time with him?

    Singles & Dating - 8 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I've been dating this guy for 4 months. I like him alot and we have alot of fun together. But i can't help but think he's holding back and i think it has to do with his ex. It was his first love, the only reason they broke up is because she moved away, and they still talk. I once mentioned a rumor i heard about her and he got overly defensive. Even though they broke up a couple of years ago, i am the first girl he has gotten serious with since her. He rarely tells me how much he likes me or compliments me, and he has even denied sex. I am not usually a needy or jealous girl, i've just never been in a situation like this before. People say i am out of his league, but i really believe that this could be a good thing if things would just change a little. I know that no relationship is perfect, but am i wasting my time with this one? wow people you dont give this guy too much hope. alright.. looks like we'll be having a talk tomorrow!
