QuestionI made a big mistake and lashed out at the person and told them never to speak to me that way, and now I fear for my scholarship at school. I already told my teacher but I still have anxiety about it. What should I do?Tom De BackerTop AnswererThere shouldn't be any fear. If they flirted with you, and you didn't like it and then told them so, that's perfectly fine and you did the right thing. This is on a personal level. Your scholarship is on a professional level. They must keep the two separate. If they cancel or change your scholarship because of this, you have a solid reason to sue them in court. If it took lashing out to get them to stop, it may be that flirting had turned to harassment, which is another good grounds for a lawsuit.

QuestionWhat do I say when a girl has a boyfriend, but keeps touching me inappropriately?Community AnswerJust be honest: let her know that you don't like the way she's touching you. Explain why so she knows exactly how you're feeling; if you think it's creepy, awkward, or scary, tell her. If she continues, you might want to consider talking to her boyfriend about it so he's aware of what his girlfriend's behavior is like when he's not around.

QuestionShould I tell my mom that her boyfriend came onto me or let it go?Community AnswerYou should tell your mom. If her boyfriend is coming onto you, then it's very possible he's coming onto other women, meaning he's potentially unfaithful to your mom. She deserves to know about his behavior so she can decide whether or not she wants to stay in a relationship with him.

QuestionMy boyfriend often complains that I don't pay that much attention to him. I've never been one to show my feelings, but I do love him a lot, am I being a bad girlfriend?Community AnswerFind ways that you are comfortable being attentive and affectionate and focus on these. Tell him how you feel, and if there's something you're not comfortable doing, speak up. Sometimes in a relationship you have to do things that don't come easily, this is how we learn and grow, so try to make an effort.

QuestionHow do I learn to reject people automatically? I'm not asexual, but I never want to allow myself to date anyone, and I don't want to be impolite. How do I do it if they tell me they like me?Community AnswerYou can just say "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Usually that's enough. You can tell them that you're flattered, or that you think they're great, but aren't in a good place to go out with them or don't have those kinds of feelings for them. If you know the person well, you can be honest and explain why you don't want to date anyone.
