hintah has the answers, my friend. From a woman's perspective, he has hit the nail on the headl!!! This is how I feel... When I am in a serious relationship, my boyfriend is my number one priority, nothing comes before him. I do like to show off my boyfriend. I also like for him to show me off. This happened this past Sunday? How long have you two been seeing each other? Give it time, honestly. Be sure to let her know you are there, but don't bug her...if that makes sense. When I get pissed at my man because he did something wrong, I will stand off for a while. But even though I stand off, does not mean that I am not thinking about or missing him ever single second. And for him to let me know he is doing the same is all I need. Some people may say 'flowers'...nah, be more creative than that. Honestly, a sincere apology and to know he really cares is all I need. Save the flowers for Valentine's Day or something. Things will work out. Don't beat yourself up about it. It was a simple mistake, but definatly nothing major and nothing that could not be forgiven. I'm sorry that girls are so confusing, we say one thing but really mean something else. But understand this, guys are just as confusing to us, although not in the exact same aspects.

I know this feeling all too well... Honestly, I dont think me giving advice would be right, seeing as how I'm in a similar predicament. But, this is what I think about the situation... If you feel afraid to open up to the person you are seeing, then there is a lack of communication or a barrier of some sort. I have no idea how the guy I am seeing feels about me because he never opens up (this is our barrier). thereforeeeeeee, I'm scared to tell him how I feel. I don't know what to do to get him to open up. If you care for someone, there are ways to get around just 'saying' it. You can 'show' them. To me it is more important to FEEL cared about than to just hear it. With children being in the picture, I'm not really sure how this works because I have none. But, I can imagine it being difficult...not in the negative sense, but just for their sake. I have a friend who is 28 and has a beautiful little girl. He told me once that he will not let a girl he is seeing meet her till they are real serious because he doesn't want his daughter to get too attached and then one day the lady not be there. I can totally understand this. Any way, I feel I am rambling... But just my 2 cents...

Hey there! Cheer up! I honestly know how you feel, my life is very similar. When I was around your age, my parents split up. My dad was cheating on my mother and he used my sister as an excuse to leave. After a while, my mom found out that my father had not been paying the house note and there was no way for her to catch up. So we were forced to move. One thing that really made it hard was just a few years before all of this, my little brother was born. So as you can see money was even tighter. But that was then and this is now... Looking back and now reading your post, everything you speak of seems normal. To be honest, you just need to open up and talk. I know that may sound corny, but it always helps. Find a good outlet, something positive, something fun and interesting to you... Try writing or drawing or read, whatever, but it always helps to have some type of outlet. More or less, I consider it a necessity! At your age, and I'm sure you've heard this before, your hormones are causing all kinds of havoc on your little body...and will for sometime...but just bear with it and hang in there, everything will eventually work out! If you EVER need anyone to talk to, anyone here Im sure is willing to listen, if you need, PM me and I'll give you my aim or icq if you need to talk! But talk!!! Never bottle things up!!!
