The request
Me and my boyfriend broke up almost 2 weeks ago and now he has heard rumors that I lied to him when I said I was a virgin (which I am) and now he believes them. I want us to get back together but he won't talk to me about what he's feeling. He says he still loves me but things are best this way for now, how is this possible? The reason we broke up in the first place was because he was never there for me anymore, he was always out with his friend. Did I do something wrong?
Aalize replies
The only thing you did wrong was to worry about his ass. If he believes rumors instead of you, so be it. You can't make him believe anything. You can't make him do anything. He may love you as a person, not as a mate . Oh well, sh*t happens.
The request
How do I make a shy guy more comfortable around me? I've been seeing this guy for about a month. When we are alone, we are totally touchy feely together, but when we are around my friends, he gets all shy and pulls away. Why?
Aalize replies
It could be one of three reasons:
He has a crush on one of your friends.
He isn't comfortable being all lovey-dovey in public.
I sincerely hope it's #3, and if so, don't sweat it! You don't have to put on a freak show for your friends. They know the boy is yours.
The request
I am a teenager. I came to your site because I wanted an honest opinion & it sounds like you will give it. Here is my problem. I met a man over the internet. We have been meeting in chat rooms & talking for a long time. We get along great but he is 24 & I am only 15. He has been asking me about meeting & possibly having a relationship but I do not know if I should have a relationship with him. He is a great friend. I know that my mom would not approve of us having a relationship. She knows that we are friends & that doesn't bother her but she wants me to finish college before I have a really serious relationship. He has suggested marriage when I am 18. Since I am still jail-bait & this might hurt my mom & my future, I do not know what to do. Please Help!
Aalize replies
Leave him alone. I'm surprised that your mom allows this internet friendship. This man is an adult and a stranger. Is she aware of his age? It's obvious that he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, he's a grown man with nothing better to do than stalk minors on the internet. How pathetic.
Be very, very careful. The internet allows one total anonymity. He could have several young girls chained in a basement. He could be a rapist or a murderer. I hate to frighten you, but this is the real world, and these types of people are lurking all over the internet. No matter how friendly he may seem, do not meet him.
The request
I am completely in love with a guy and I recently found out that he has a girlfriend. We almost got together before, but I was hesitant and now I want him! He and this new girl just got together, what should I do?
Aalize replies
Of course you want him --- he isn't available. He who hesitates is lost. You snooze, you lose. Park your ass elsewhere; that seat is taken.
The request
My girl and I just broke up so the advice is a moot point but it may help at another time ... My last girlfriends na na didn't smell good. In fact sometimes the odor was so strong that I would make one of those faces. (luckily she never saw the face) Anyway , I am a normal guy, been with a few women that I would wear as cologne all day long; the sex was great with this girl but the smell.....what should or could I have done? "?
Aalize replies
That's a damn shame. If this problem ever arises in the future, tell her. She could have had an undiagnosed vaginal infection, or even a STD. If the odor was due to poor hygiene practices, you could have:
Bought her several boxes of Massengil Douche Bought her a case of FDS Feminine Hygiene Spray Bought her a case of FDS Feminine Hygiene Wash Bought her a case of FDS Feminine Hygiene Powder
The request
I am a college senior, and 1 guy I used to hang out w/ freshman year asked me out a few weeks ago. He says that he is lonely and needs company, which I don't mind providing since I'd like the same. However, he has stood me up three times. I have given up, but I'd really like to know what in the hell makes a guy do that?
Aalize replies
He did it because he could. You were on the back burner. He stood you up because the person he actually wanted to be with was available. He spent time with her, and left you hanging.
The request
O.k. here goes, I had a crush on a really good friend of mine but it went away because I became really good friends with her boyfriend. I was thinking "well if I can't have her at least somebody cool can" but now he moved away and my crush is returning. She's single and I'm single but I'm not sure of her feelings. I've tried making little hints but she isn't seeing them. I don't want to become the rebound guy and I really don't want to ruin the friendship, she's the best friend I've ever had, so what do I do? Plus both of us are heading off to college soon. should I go for my high school crush now, or wait until the 20th reunion and then hook up like some bad made-for-TV-movie? ?
Aalize replies
Oh go for it already. The worse thing that could happen is that she will say no thanks to the relationship. If your friendship is as strong as you say it is, it will not be at risk because you expressed your feelings to her. Today is the only thing you definitely have. Make the most of it.
