I really really like my ex boyfriend. But the problem is he always pays attention my other friends who are really pretty and charming. They’re really girly and i miss him so much. There’s also this thing on his Facebook profile that says his ex is annoying. I don’t know if he was talking about me or his other ex he hates. How do i get him back? What about playing hard to get? What do i do?? Add lots of details and stories about you and your ex!

please help??

Okay well i’ve been dating this guy for about 4days now and my mom found out. i have no idea how, though. i really was going to tell my mom, but i wanted to make sure that it was serious. the night i realized that i was serious i was going to tell her the next day. unfortunately it was was the same day she found out. she does NOT approve. she says i’m to young to date (i’m 14) but i had a boyfriend when i was 12 and the last person she want me dating is tom (my bf). so she is forcing me to break up with him.

This morning she woke me up before she went to work and asked me WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DATE HIM! WHY! BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS ONE! WHY CANT YOU JUST BE FRIENDS! WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE! before i could open my mouth she said, by the end of the day i want ten good reasons why dating is so different…and be specific.

That’s were i need your help, i don’t need all ten but whatever you can come up with besides sex and kissing would be great! this could make or break my relationship.

ITS NOT DIFFERENT

1. Dating is just two people. not the whole group of friends. it’s a bit more private

2. You can find what you like in a guy or what you don’t like by dating

3. It turns a friend into more of a close friend

4. It gives you a little dating experience before you get too much older

5. If you ever need to bring along a date anywhere, you already got one!

6. If you get hurt, it helps you grow up a little more

7. You can make new friends. (meeting more of his friends)

8. You don’t look like a silly desperate person on valentines day (i know that one is a bit dumb)

9. It makes you happy !

10. If it is meant to be (though I doubt at 14) then you could find a friend that will last a long time
