I met this guy a month ago, all went well and we agreed to meet up again when he got his car license back. We texted since then up until he got his license back and tried to organise a day, but we still havent set a day yet due to money issues and other commitments (mostly from him). We both agreed that we've drifted apart slightly but he said that could be fixed once we meet again. His texts are becoming less frequent and I feel like im the one making all the effort and im getting frustrated. I feel like this has just made me appear clingy and unattractive. Someone please suggest to me what I should do?

Wr broke up almost 2 months ago, but since then we have had conversations until we finally agreed to not talk anymore. Since then he has sent me a fb message in an attempt to make me feel sorry for him (i blocked him and didnt reply) and now for the past 2 weeks I have been getting notifications saying he has added me on snapchat, when I go onto the app I cannot see his name coming up. I do not want to add him again because my theory is that he wants to see who I am snapping. Can he still see who I am snapping even though I dont add him back and also, how do I stop him adding me in future?

I told my boyfriend that I was at my friends house but that I would still be able to talk to him. But I had essays to do so I had to go, then he started giving me abuse saying that I make him feel bad because I didnt keep my word of talking to him. Everytime I go out I seem to annoy him and he says that I 'neglect' him. Am I in the wrong here?

I need a new smartphone. Something with plenty of memory for apps. My price range is £150-£180. depends how much my parents are happy with spending. I wouldnt be looking for an Iphone. Maybe a Samsung phone or similar high quality phone.

I have a real problem with visible veins on my upper body. The upper half of my arms right across my chest and boob area basically show my full network of veins. It makes me feel really bad and I cover up my arms all the time because theyre so disgusting. Ive tried tan but it doesnt fully cover it all up. Is there any ointment or anything I can get to reduce visibility. Also have veins on my eyelids *oh and definitely not pregnant (i know that can cause veins)

Well everything Is pretty much disastrous at the moment. I have only one friend my own age that I can talk to, everyone else has drifted away from me and they dont answer my messages. The boy I really liked has got a girlfriend and so we're drifting too. I am desperately trying to change my life by looking for a job, (im having no joy anywhere.) And finding more friends. No one seems to be there for me when I need them to be. I just feel so alone and sad and im trying desperately to change, but I mostly sit in the house all day. I just want someone to talk to who understands me. It just gets me down.

I had a fall out with a friend, didnt get in contact for a year then she emailed me, asking to 'catch up' I went along, not wanting to be mean or hold grudges. But I realised things havent changed, still same old garbage that annoyed me in the first place. I dont want to be friends with her anymore but she has since messaged me to ask for my mobile number. I would love advice on how to respond to that msg and also how to make it known that I dont want to hang out ever again. I dont want to be mean about it or argue again.

Anyone whos ever done exams. My questions are:

What do you do when you dont have a clue what to write, do you just leave it blank?. Also do you think that even if you write something which is inaccurate, would it make you look smarter than if you just half answered a question. Any other tips about exams would be greatly appreciated :) thanks

it felt so real, almost like it had happened. There were too stories going on in one dream.

The first was:

I was sitting down with my friend trying to talk to her but she was really distracted, then I kept asking her to repeat what she said because she was mumbling. She then told me that her dad had died the previous night, I was shocked obviously

** then later on at home in my dream, my mom told me that he had died from eating too many potatoes (is this even possible?)

The other part to my dream, was that I was vacuum cleaning my grandmothers house and then a man came by and switched it off! In the dream I was angry about this and went to challenge him, which is not like me at all. And he told me, 'no vacuuming on a sunday'

I am aware that teenagers aren't supposed to drink a lot of alcohol because organs aren't completely formed yet. However i was wondering if someone could tell me if this drinking pattern is going to be harmful for a 17 year old female.

1-2 glasses of wine (small glass) on 1- 2 weekends per month.

An alcopop and a 2 cans of cider on nights out, every 4 months or so.

*never been drunk, just tipsy.

The subject of introvert and extrovert personalities really interests me. So my question is...

What is the first word that comes into your head when you think of shy people?

Ok, I have five cats. Noticed a hair loss in the oldest one around her belly. then a couple of weeks on another two have started losing hair. One around the back legs and the other around the belly also. the other 2 seem fine. Could this be alopecia or fleas. These cats live outside, not in the house. If it is fleas could my dog contract it from them? Thanks in advance

I was just wondering, do universities pay close attention to attendance at school. Its just ive missed 11 days in total in my first year of A levels and my attendance is at an all time low of 92.5%. My absences cannot be helped, but do think this could affect my chances of gettin a place at uni?

I heard a song today on the radio and loved it. Its definitely a man/boyband singing it. Lyrics I can remember are 'Look into my eyes, its where my demons hide' someone helppp :)

Im talking to all the guys here. Is it important to you that the girl you want to settle down with is still a virgin until you get to her?

I've been talking to a guy online for about 3 months now. I feel like we have just clicked even though we havent met. We connect through Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat. We can talk for hours but I often find myself confiding in him and telling him about all my insecurities. I feel guilty because even though he says he doesnt mind talking about feelings, I think it is probably annoying him. We have so much in common and have a laugh together. But I feel like he will get tired of me, even though he tells me almost every day that im beautiful and should love myself more. Will he get fed up with me? And really, my question is, how can I keep cool and stay intetesting to him?( I am not the most boy-savvy of girls, still a virgin, inexperienced etc )

Recently I've just been feeling very sad and depressed and i cant seem to find a positive thing in life to smile about. I think my main problem is Social Anxiety but im beginning to think that I also may have a personality disorder, most likely Schizoid Personality Disorder. I feel extremely guilty and hate myself because i keep on confiding in my interenet friend who is just lovely and shouldn't have to put up with me. He always tells me im beautiful, but I'm just scared that I will eventually push him away with all my negativity. Should I consider councelling (for the second time) or is there anyone out there who can help me. I feel at my wits end.

Ok, so I have a friend. She is 16. Know her for 10 years now. Been through primary, secondary and now further further education with her. She is a really lovely girl, very kind and i do appreciate her alot. But theres one problem. She is very very quiet and extremely reserved. Even knowing her for so long, i know very little about her. I try to make conversation with her but i often get one word answers or 'hmmms' in agreement. We've never had a stimulating conversation where u get the ureka momemt where u find something in common. With my other friend we always have long conversations that last more than 10 mins. I myself have mild social anxiety and she is aware of that. she is shy but she is good at speaking publicly when she needs to. I have never done anythin to my knowledge to gain her mistrust but its really starting to annoy me how she acts. I feel incredibly guilty for this and i try to avoid her sometimes. I really want to branch out in life but i feel like i cant just cut her out !! i am not that type. Can anyone advise me on what to do or say to promote more conversation or more of a bond ?? Thanks very much for ur help in advance

I'm in a group of people for the walk who are way faster than me at walking. I lag behind sometimes. They don't seem to want to slow down a bit for me. I really feel rubbish. I physically cannot walk any quicker. They are not my best friends but how can I tell them they need to walk a bit slower, also they seem frustrated with me :/

Ok, ill keep it simple, guys can u tell me. If u look at a girl for about 4 seconds more than once without smiling, does that mean you could be interested ?
