Open Question: How do I break up with my boyfriend of less than a month?

Exposition: I am 21 years old and have never been in a relationship before this one. (That means I've never really kissed or slept with another person before, and I've certainly never dated anyone.) For the longest time I felt like I was missing out on something that should have been easy enough to attain but I've always been a real self-conscious and pathetic person, so I guess that doesn't do much for a man's libido. When I got to college, I had developed an on-and-off crush on this guy who's a couple years older than me. Last year I met a friend of his through him and he (the friend) started flirting with me pretty much right away. Flattered, I reciprocated, and when he moved back into town for an internship after graduating college out of state, we started hanging out. About a month ago he asked me to be his girlfriend. I wasn't surprised, but I nevertheless didn't know how to react, so I just said "yes" to avoid unplanned conflict. Problem: I realized a few days before he asked me that I really didn't like him any more than I would a friend. I feel so horrible for leading him on just because it seemed like the thing to do. I'm so inexperienced when it comes to these matters and sometimes I think I just agreed to it because I'm desperate. He's a really nice guy and I don't want to hurt his feelings by admitting the truth to him. The other really crappy thing about it is that I am still very much attracted to the friend who introduced us, and I worry that my already minuscule chances with him will be lessened even further if I break up with his friend. Everyone tells me we look so cute together, but I can't help but think they are seeing something that isn't there. If there is anyone else in a room for me to talk to, I will pretty much ignore my boyfriend. It's not because I don't enjoy talking to him; far from it, I am simply the only one of us who ever talks about anything other than the one thing we have in common (video games). Frankly, too, his breath is never pleasant, and the thought of kissing him fills me with dread. I need to break up with him for his sake, I think. It's not right of me to pretend I have feelings for him, because the only feelings that might have existed are gradually turning into feelings of disgust. I never had a problem spending time with him a month ago, and now the last thing I want to do is go to a Christmas party as his date tomorrow night, never mind bringing him to my brother's wedding. Holy crap on a poo cracker, what do I do?

Open Question: Would it be considered cheating if your boyfriend is talking to another girl on the internet?

Okay, well my boyfriend and I had been together for at least a year and a half at the time when i went through his email and found 8 months worth of him talking to a girl who went to my school...that I didn't know existed. She turned out to be his friend's girlfriend-of-the-time, and he said he didn't tell me because he knew I wouldn't like it. Wouldn't that be a sign to stop if he knew it wasn't right? He talked to her about our relationship problems and they talked about spending time together without me or her boyfriend there. He told her how he would pummel anyone who was even the slightest bit rude to her, about how he felt like he had no one to talk to, etc. When I found these emails (Which he let me onto his email with his password while he was there) he tried to get me off the computer so I couldn't look at them while he was there. It's been almost a year since this incident, and I'm in a severe depression. I try to get him to tell me a story that makes sense so I can at least pretend that I'm happy but he won't. What do I do?

Open Question: My Boyfriend Has Depression Problems?

Sometimes, when I hang around my girlfriends I see my boyfriend all alone sitting and looking depressed. I go over to him and ask what is wrong. He mainly says that he doesn't know what he wants in life but I told him just try to find the things that interest you by doing activities and that I'll try and help you if something comes up on our high school announcements. I comfort him by rubbing his shoulders, hugging him and putting my head on his shoulder. Or I just ask him if we want to walk anywhere and hold hands if he prefers that. I'm trying to support him any way I can so he feels better. He'll feel better but that's because I am around him but later I will find out he is depressed because his friends are doing all these things. He tried out for a play once but didn't make it. Is there anything else I can do to support him?

Open Question: Complicated, relationship problem.?

Okay, so this girl and I have been going out for 4 months now, and she broke up with me yesterday. I was her first boyfriend ever, and she was my first girlfriend. She says that she isn't ready to be a 'girlfriend' yet. So I told her that I'll be here when she is ready. Does she still love me? Because I still love her more then anything, and I just hope she didn't dump me for some reason like there was someone else she wanted, but I doubt that. Any advice, tips, suggestions? Please?

Open Question: how to get rid of my super evil headmaster?? (10 points awarded for the best answer)?

okay, so i have this super evil headmaster who sticks his nose into everyone's business (even when it does not break the school rules). For example, he gets mad when my friend hold hands with her boyfriend, I mean, like, super mad. The other teachers have no problem with it. We all hate him and plan to overthrow his rule.

Open Question: Why does my boyfriend get angry after opening up?

My boyfriend is getting better at being open and expressing stuff, but he seems to get angry afterwards. Like tonight we had a pretty good talk about some stuff and he seemed really happy to be able to tell me how he was feeling, but then afterwards he was like "I shouldn't have said anything..." and "Why did I have to say that stuff??" and kind of saying it under his breath. Why does he get angry afterwards? We weren't talking about anything "bad"...not like problems we're having or anything. It was all good stuff. So why the anger?

Open Question: That's what its all about!(Long and Jumbled Ü)!?

I am a little curious, Since the 5th grade i've notice dumb girls starting "RELATIONSHIPS" with guys/or girls. As I getting older the girls are not as bad as the guys,but there some are acting flirtatious and not like a little bit, its overly dramatized they yell out I Love You, to the first guy they see in the hallway. Grown people that are 30 years old don't even say I love you like that so highly doubt a 13 year old can.Know those are not really bad things, but some girls go as far as getting physical with the guys in school. Not like intercourse, but the guys are touching their butts and their rubbing up on the guys. My friend did that, there was like 3 guys in a line waiting for her to back up on them. Know This is a problem, because I told her, but she doesn't seem to care. And Guys keep asking me out and I'm like No are you serious. Because I don't want to get into that right know. And my friend was an A-B student and shes barely passing because her boyfriend was "CHEATING" on her. And there's this one guy i've known since like 3rd grade. And on the first day of school he was just like staring at me and smiling and i'm like ok. Its like he trying flirt using telekinesis, or whatever its call or telepathically. But Its like an awkward situation. So I have like 5 of friends to throw him off. But he still iffy. I just want to know stories and opinions you guys have.Its probably a phase that teens gp through but some girls are going as far as getting pregnant.

Open Question: help-a long relationship question?

Does everyone who has a girlfriend or boyfriend wonder if they would be happier if they were with somebody else? I have a gf but I like these two girls more than her, i was wondering if i should just discontinue my relationship with her, or if i should just remain the way I am, and that no one ever gets with the person they truly want to be with? There's a problem: 1) one of the girls (who i like the most) is like 34 and I'm 19, 2) the other girl- senior in high school (2nd choice), 3) current gf, is wired and is a loner, who just works and goes to school all day (boring), also too religious: doesn't celebrate Christmas, valentines, or any other holiday...And love cats WTF, dogs rule!!!

Open Question: I have this problem.?

I'm eighteen, never had a boyfriend. I'm pretty shy, mostly around guys I know. I have no problem opening up to strangers, really... I've had numerous guys ask for my number randomly in public places... but nobody that I actually know has ever shown any interest, or if they have, they've never told me this to my face. I think my quietness intimidates them? I guess my question is this. How can I open up to people I actually know... or be more approachable?

Open Question: Unmarried Moroccan/American couple traveling in Morocco?

I am planning to visit my Moroccan "boyfriend" (for lack of a better classification) in Morocco. I met him when I was there on vacation, so it is not like most people who seem to meet Moroccan men online and stuff. When I met him a couple months ago, I could tell we attracted quite a few stares when we walked in public holding hands. Is it not appropriate for a couple to hold hands in public, or were people just staring because I am white? Now it has just occurred to me that we may have some trouble getting a hotel room together based on some of the other things I have read online. Is this really going to be a huge problem since he is Moroccan and I am American? P.S. I will also be going to meet his family who are farmers in the High Atlas. If anyone has any insight on what their reaction might be to their son bringing home a white American, it would be greatly appreciated.
