So I've been dating a guy for a while now. Everything was fine and our love was strong. Though its been a while he has been talking to another girl. She is prettier and better than I am. He says that they're just friends but he always defends her.

She has feelings for him, she even told him that. He told me not to worry because he said he loves me only. I was okay with it until yesterday where he started acting weird and being a jerk, arguing on everything and not replying to my texts. Today he hasn't talked to me at all and he seems very happy (he's tweeting how life is amazing with him these days). I'm just wondering what's happening and why is he being such an ***?

Well everything has not been fine and your love is not strong if he's been talking to another girl and suddenly he's not talking to you.
How long had you two been dating? If a guy starts to ignore you and not communicate, you are not important to him.

Sounds like your strong love isn't what you thought. If life is amazing, he's not talking to you, and he seems happy... I'm guessing he has hooked up with this other girl and just doesn't have the nerve to tell you.

So he has been Fine with you until yesterday. Then yesterday? He started tweeting all is great yet treating you rotten? When was the last time you spent any actual time with him? If all this is an overnight thing and you weren't with him at all maybe this girl and him got together? You'll have to see how he acts today.

There is always some girl prettier, or something. being jealous is a issue that has to be dealt with. The issue here is if he is intrested or not. That is something that takes more than "he is acting strange one day"

[talaniman]

He wants you to dump him so he can be with the other girl guilt free. I can bet you have been starting as many argument as he has.

[sarahjab]

Thank you all for the advice, couldn't answer earlier.

[talaniman]

Well, are thing any better? What's been happening? Do we have to beg for an update?

[sarahjab]

Haha sorry, everything went great until today, check my last question. Please help :|

I explained to my dad, he doesn't believe me. What should I do?

So today I was going out with some friends to a restaurant. We were 2 girls and 2 guys. On our way to the restaurant with my friend, she meets her cousins and leaves me to say hi to them. Meanwhile, I continued walking by myself when suddenly I find my dad right in front of me, asking why I'm alone when I'm suppose to be with people. He got mad and started doubting what I was doing. I told him what was going on, and he decided not to believe.

My friend went to meet the guys and she called me from one of their cellphones to tell me where she was. My dad saw the number and started doubting more. He decided to call that number. My friend answered (the owner of the phone) and told my dad I was going to meet up with him tonight. My dad took it the wrong way and started screaming and making a huge deal out of it on the phone.

Now, my dad doesn't want to believe that it's a misunderstanding. The guy and all his friends ( also my friends) don't want to talk to me until my dad says he was wrong, and I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I explained to my dad everything, he doesn't believe me because we had a bad past in trust. PLEASE HELP!

Misunderstandings can really cause a great deal of trouble. Anger, confusion, embarrassment, disappointment, etc. And, misunderstandings are not the sole domain of any particular age group. It happens with married couples all the time, friends, teachers, co-workers- anybody.

From what you have said, I don't see where you did anything to deserve a public scolding. And it's understandable why your friends would feel a little intimidated by him.

If this is the way he is, all the time, and doesn't talk, or discuss issues that come up, but rather decide he's automatically right and you are automatically wrong, It is not likely that you can change him.

If, on the other hand, how he reacted was unusual, he is most likely as mortified as you are about what took place.

Bottom line, you didn't look bad, he did.

I would let this one go, if you don't think that a reasonable conversation can take place. Maybe your mother could help? Maybe an older sibling?

Parents aren't perfect, and you may just have to realize that he is who he is, and there isn't much you can do. When you are older, married, with kids- then he will hopefully have learned how to respect you a little more.

Talk to your dad after the emotional dust has had time to settle and your friends should understand you tried your best, but it didn't work so the ones that can't get over their own anger or whatever and support you are not as good a friends as you think.

It wasn't your fault your dad over reacted in public, and a true friend would know that. That's why YOU must review this with a cool head.

My father told him to never get close to me again and he told that to all our friends, I'm in a really bad situation now. They're all backing off because my dad said so and I can't do anything about it! I don't have a mom... my dad is always this way but this time I lost everything, I feel lost myself

[N0help4u]

Is one of these kids the boy you liked in your other question?

[sarahjab]

Yes I lost everyone
