Dear Dish-It, Why Haven't I Made My Move?

Advice For Teens About Sex

Dear Dish-It,

I have a boyfriend and I like him a lot. He recently told me that he loved me but I'm not sure that I should tell him that I love him back. I do, but if I tell him, he might want to get too serious and want to have sex with me and I'm not ready for all that. What should I do?

Dear laquisha,

If you're not comfortable telling your BF that you love him, then you shouldn't. You also shouldn't think that if you tell him you love him you are committed to take your relationship to the next level. You're really young and it sounds like you know what your priorities are right now. Sex is a huge thing and shouldn't be something you are pressured into doing. Talk to your BF about your feelings. Let him know that you care about him a lot but that you aren't ready for something super-serious. If he's being honest about being in love with you, he'll understand. But, if he's using the "I love you" line to get you to take things a step further, he's not the kind of guy you should be with.


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 .

    WOW you r in  a really bad pickle. You no what i would do? well i would leave it up to the boy to decide the right path to go on. remember you have to let the guy chase after you . you cant  chase after him because boys do not like that you have to act like you are just friends and be cool around him and don't be flirty or awkward just be real people and be friends because he's  not gonna like you if you call him all the time or be clingy. and do not let that that girl get to you. you have to keep your chin up and hope for the best and follow my advice :)

    Elementary school age is too young to have a cell phone, because young children will have a hard time with the responsibility (varies) and it's likely that their friends don't have phones so who do they have to talk to? Middle school is around the age that cell phones can be given. That's when they're realizing who they want as friends and socializing more. 12 should be the earliest age to have one imo. I got mine when I turned thirteen.
