Why not simply state, 'Thanks for your advice, does anyone else have any opinions on this issue?', other wise people will stop giving any advice, due to you lashing out at them wehever they try to help. Please take this under consideration. Good point. in real life you (or I) basically do that. Here, in internet, we may be more open and we may discuss the advice. Thats what internet for: to be able to discuss things, not only to be polite and keep r mouth shut Whats the point in not discussing things? We already have that in our real life most fo the time. The internet was created so the scientists could share discorveries and information learned with others around the world, so in a sense you are right Also discussing the advice only goes so far, I was given the impression that you were building a barrier when we tried to simply answer your question. Hopefully this does not turn people off from 'discussing' things in future.

I agree with Caldus. I'd say you've lost your confidence and well, maybe you seem to picture your boyfriend as your protector, or maybe because you *had* a boyfriend, you wern't nervous about persuing these guys in a romantic way.

I don't think he might 'love' you as such, but I'd say he's coming onto you Why don't you ask him?

You asked what was wrong with the clothes, I answered Someone doesn't need to be a full-on trend follower, because that's just scary, but it's nice to think that they spent a while dressing themselves up to see me if we were to go on a date, like they wanted to impress me, even though they didn't have to. Also I never plan on getting to know you/that person, so I will always have that first impression pop into my mind if I remember something about the photo. I told you what was wrong with the clothes and the first impression it gave me, you asked, I answered.

Try to relax! Say hi, keep it simple at first, maybe talk about something you have in common, or an observation you've made and once you begin to get to know people start making the conversations a bit more complex and in-depth.

The 'sex' look might attract them at first, seeing as guys are more visual, but you've got to have substance to keep them around. Eventually (however long that is ) they will want 'proper' girlfriends, so I guess you'll just have to wait , although I'm not a guy so, eh.

I liked it, it touched me in a way lol,

I like it, although it didn't leave me thinking about it, or pondering once I finished, so if that's what you intended then it didn't work for me (however I may just be a special case ), but apart from that I thought it was good!

To me that sounds like a contradiction You're assuming that someone who follow's the trends will be too superficial and this may be the case for some people, but you assuming that is like us assuming that because you wear those clothes you are boring and like my grandpa!

What can you do? Her parent's are in control of how much freedom they give their daughter, and there isn't much you can do to respect that! Maybe if you show them over time that you are trustworthy they'll give her a little more 'room to move' so to speak.

I would reject him because, well, the clothes make him look like some stern old grandpa, not laid back and casual, which is a quality most girls look for in a boyfriend (no one wants some serious snob). And just, well.. I can't really explain it, but seeing someone in hot clothes makes you want to take them off meanwhile seeing someone in the same clothes as your grandpa doesnt really give you the impression that there's anything worth seeing under there, except for perhaps a beer gut. I'd reject him because like, he doesn't look like a very fun casual guy He looks so up tight and not really interested in doing something spontaneous and even if he *was* interested in doing something a but crazy here and there, he would be dressed for it! XD Plus in that picure the guy had horrible posture, was as white as light (haha, little joke for you all ) and the pant's being up so high made him look like he had a larger stomach! He might be the nicest guy in the world, but i'd still reject him because it takes more then being nice to keep someone attracted! I'd be too worried about him correcting and scientifically explaining how the plot works when we went to the movies and what not. Lol.

Okay. Um, well. First of all, clothes that aren't colour-coordinated. Green boardies, red and black t-shirt, white shoes. Ew. Wearing their pants really high up, or too low down.. wearing PURPLE (ugh), or tye-dye, or any other hippie sort of thing. XD Tucked in T-shirt. Wearing their hat backwards.. i hate it when guys do that. Wearing shoes other than sneakers. I dont know why, it just looks so bad!! And like.. I can't really think of anything else. Wait, yes I can. Fly-eye glasses. hahahahahahahaha. Parachute pants, chunky wollen knitted jumpers, those tracky-pants that look like they are made from felt and cuff at the bottom..acctually anything with a big cuff at the bottom is ew XD Wearing things that look like your mum makes your clothes (and wearing things that she acctually did make, unless of course she is in that feild of work lol ), shirts with rips in them that probably shouldn't be there and shirts that have pictures of say, their fave childhood superhero like batman are no-no's Wearing pants that are either up too high so that you can see the guys ankles or that are just so small that's where they naturally sit. Pant's that are all ironed perfectly flat or have that ironed crease down the front also look a bit odd Heh, I'm sure I'll think of more, just gimmi some time

It's nice to see someone comfortable with the skin they are in! 8)

sisterlynch, again the great point!! Hot=money!!! So what do you guy bother thinking dating is complicated. The solution is to be hot. And to be hot means to have money (earn or just have). Here it is! No offence, but I give you a logical explanation on how those clothes give off the impression of an older man, and I get talked to like I'm shallow, but when an older lady says something (In this case, about something as fical as clothing) her statment is automatically agreed with.

Ever heard anyone say that they like their clothes to be a representation of their personality? I have, alot acctually, and I stand by that! I wouldn't wear clothes I didn't like, or that made me look like someone I wasen't, so if I saw someone wearing those clothes my immediate reaction would be to treat him like my grandfather. If you were 15 and wearing those clothes I would probably laugh so hard I'd suffocate and die

With the sliver/grey hair you might look just like your icon

Dude, you don't need to follow trends to be stylish. You can be stylish by wearing age appropriate clothes (as mentioned earlier) or as I just stated, by wearing clothes that flatter your body shape. It is hard for any person to follow the 'trands'. Please stop making this issue so one sided. With all do respect you need to broaden your horizens (so to speak) and see that both genders look for good physical appearances to an extent. By the way, how old are you

I'd have to agree! Wearing clothes that suit your body and really flatter you, do take you a long way in the looks department

I would personally like to hear the opposing arguments as to why teen love couldn't be real, there don't seem to be any reasons that I can think of to validate this claim that it is simply not there (one that I have heard before).

Guy's want attractive girls, girls want attractive guys, let it go before you contradict yourself. And I'll have to dissagree. You CAN change your looks if you want to, if you have the desire to, if not then you'll probably slip back into previous styles. Getting a new style changes how you look, which can also change your confidence levals, and also peoples opinions of your appearance. It is not simple, it is a very complex world with complex pressure ammounting on looks.

I think it's simply real if you feel it.

I think you need to stress to her the importance of talking about alternative ways of communicationa and seeing each other, to her. If it is simply that she can't be bothered or doesn't have the time maybe you should consider where your relationship is going, and wether you wish to persue it.
