I talked to this guy on yahoo chat for almost a year before meeting him (he lives 3 hours away from me). I've never had feelings like this before and he's just an amazing person. I think I've fallen for him..but I don't know how to tell him I want to be with him. I'm very shy and I'm still a virgin and there's an age difference of ten years between us..and all that is making me shy away because I don't get how he would ever want someone like me who is so ordinary and quiet...even though he says he likes me just the way I am. I don't know why I keep pushing him away...and I don't know what to do anymore...I just wish someone would give me advice other than to just forget about him and telling me it will never work out anyways.

I'm barely 20 and I've been recovering for the last year from a heroin addiction that consumed me from ages 15 to 19. This has made me a bit nihilistic, a bit jade and I've had difficulty thrusting myself into the -regular- job market, as easy as it may be the pay isn't alluring enough considering the time I have to put in. Recently I have turned to a popular online personal site to sell myself to older men in my city. I try to rise above it, but at the end of the day I feel shame..thinking of my family members and my health, etc. The money is too good, its too easy..I can't help but not care. I am a student, a thinker, an artist. I am a male prostitute. <3

We've known each other since I was 2. We spend every summer together. Right before you left, I had gotten my first boyfriend. You finally told me you loved me the day before you left. Why couldn't you have told me sooner? I would have waited for you! You won't be back for another year and I finally got a letter from you. My heart lept. I love you. I love you so much, all of these years I have. I cannot wait for you to come home, I even told your cousin. I guess you've mentioned us writing to her? She was really happy, she says nothing would make her happier than her two best friends getting married. I love you

im in love with this girl, we have been together for about a year and a half now... well were like best friends with benifits but we hangout everyday and text all the time im truly in love with her, now ive stayed loyal to her for months now (which for me is awsome because im a whore) but im just scared that if i ask her out things will change or i might fuck up its not that her sex isnt good or anything idk why i do it but i sleep with everyone possibe (my standerds apply) it just happends like this probly sounds really stupid but i love her so much and want her forever but i dont want to make us one until i know i can stop myself what should i do?!?

Story of my life. I've known this girl for about 10 years, and I have had a crush on her ever since. The thing is, I don't know how to ask her, or tell her that I like her. I don't even know if she likes me. We've been best friends, and I do not want to ruin our relationship. Its just frustrating after all these years and we have not gotten together.

I think that I fell in love (for the first time) with a guy who couldn't have cared less about me. Although he said he liked me, I truly believe that he just wanted to keep hooking up with me. I thought that I would never get hurt by a man, especially a man who has slept with 1/3 of the girls on campus, but it looks like I was.

When I was 18 I lost my virginity to the love of my life at that time. It only happened once. He promised me he would marry me no matter what happens after we both finish college. He tried to dump me 2 days ago after 8 years together because he thinks that he won't be happy with me when we get married even though I've done nothing to hurt him. I had a nervous breakdown and begged him not to. Why? Because I'm from a country where if you lose you're virginity without marriage your parents could kill you and no man will ever want to marry you or even touch you So what happens if he dumps me? I'll never get married and never have kids and ofcourse no one will know why I'm turning away every man that comes. After begging, I convinced him to stay with me and marry me after I finish med school which is 3 years from now It feels like crap forcing someone into marrying you even though you know he doesnt want you. He might leave me any moment and then I will be alone for the rest of my life

I still love you. But you are with her. And i gave you everything, absolutely every inch of my heart soul and body. So how, HOW, could you just change your mind? How, can you say you will ALWAYS love, me FOREVER, and then one day say hey....nevermind. Then find someone new. Why do you linger in my mind? When not even my ghost haunts yours, and hasnt for so long? why.
