Dear Dish-It, Am I Cheating on My BF? (pg. 2)

Advice About Teen Relationships

Dear Dish-It

This is pg.2....I'm in a relationship with an older girl. She's only older by a year but we were friends before we started liking each other. The first two weeks of us being together were great. It was a blast. Now she's all moody and all she does is ignore me as much as possible and I only see her twice a week max! Recently she's changed but still does it slightly. The problem is that she's new to the whole dating thing and I wanna go slow but she was fine with it early on and now it's basically dead. I don't know what to do. Right now I'm thinking of not calling or texting her as much so she understands what it's like. I'm really confused. Any help?

The key to any successful relationship is communication. Instead of asking me why your girlfriend is suddenly acting sketchy, why not ask her? Unless your girlfriend is a mind-reader, she's never going to know how you feel if you don't tell her. Someone who is new to the dating scene probably isn't the best at expressing their feelings either, so give her the opportunity to explain what's going on. She's probably just a bit overwhelmed with the whole BF/GF thing and needs some space. Instead of getting back at her by not calling or messaging her, you should ask her what she thinks would make things better for both of you. You two have the potential to continue on having a fun relationship, if you would just open up and say what's on your mind. Good Luck!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
