  • Question
    If my boyfriend cheats, do I have to dump him? Are there other options?
    Community Answer
    If he comes clean, apologizes, and you believe he won't do it again, you could forgive him and try to move past it. Otherwise, if you have any self-respect, you should dump him. You deserve to be treated better than that.
  • Question
    What if someone only occasionally picks on me?
    Community Answer
    Laugh it out after he picks on you. If he calls you names, say "Thank you, I try." If you don't let yourself get ruffled, your mocker won't have any incentive to keep picking on you.

    Well, if the person who you like starts to avoid you, it could potentially be one of two things. This person could be avoiding you because they don't like you anymore, or because they didn't like you from the beginning and you didn't get the hint. The best solution is to talk to them about it and to tell them how you feel about the situation.
  • Question
    My ex always wants to talk to me, but he always begins with an insult. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    His teasing is probably a sign that he still likes you. Remind yourself why he became your "ex" in the first place so you don't end up rekindling this relationship. Tell him if he can't be polite when speaking to you he should probably keep his distance.
  • Question
    My crush used to not like me because I defended my friend from hers, but she was just doing the same thing back. We all made up, and now my crush is really polite. Do I still have to stop liking her?
    Community Answer
    If you have a crush on a person you need to take into account if what she has done is acceptable for her to be with you. You could have a crush on the hottest woman in the world, but if she is a murderer, would you forgive her? Now of course this isn't that serious, but I feel you should take into account if she has redeemed herself enough, and if your friends wouldn't mind the prospect of you and her as a thing. If you've forgiven her and think she's worthy of you, that's fine.
  • Question
    If the person you like has a water fight with you and it ends but then he says lets have another one tomorrow. What does that mean?
    Community Answer
    It means that he likes being around you. He feels like he can be himself without you judging him.
  • Question
    What if a person just picks on me every single day and doesn't stop, but they're not racist or sexist or any disrespectful things?

    Picking on you, especially if it's every day, is a clear sign of a lack of respect. You should never accept any disrespect. If it hurts you or makes you feel uncomfortable, you'll have to stand up for yourself and let them know their behavior is unacceptable.
  • Question
    My boyfriend puts me down a lot lately. I keep taking it, knowing I shouldn't, and I make excuses for why he does it. What should I do?

    Relationships are a special kind of friendship. Friendships are based on trust and respect, among other things. He should not be putting you down, not even once, not even as a joke. Tell him firmly that you don't like his behavior. You have a right to demand respect. It doesn't mean the relationship should be over; see it as a chance to grow together.
  • Question
    What should I do if my crush has started insulting me after my rejected confession?
    Community Answer
    Tell him to stop and that he is being a bully by disrespecting you. Warn him that you will tell an adult if he doesn't stop. Try not to give him any reactions past telling him these things.
  • Question
    I like my crush a lot. One day I went with her to a very romantic place, and we had a sex, but now she don't want any kind of relationship with me. I started to feel for her. What do I need to do?
    Community Answer
    You started to have feelings for her AFTER having sex? Sounds backwards to me. In any case, she may feel ashamed and uncomfortable having done that, so you may need to give her time to figure out how she feels. Reassuring her of your affection would probably help.
