This is in context of talking with friends of the opposite sex.

If you've been texting with your friend, and one of you has to go to sleep, do you say goodnight or do you just drop out of the conversation and continue with it the next day?

This guy and I almost always say goodnight. We also sometimes give each other nicknames, depending on what we've been talking about., On the one hand, it's just the polite thing to do, but on the other hand, there's also a tad of romantic tone in doing that. Idk, it's just nice to have someone always wishing you a "goodnight, sleep tight", sometimes accompanied with a personal nickname...

What do you think?

Do you do this too?

I'm worried it might get infected but I just found out it costs around $30! I can barely afford that and I think my friend would do it free but if it got infected I might get mad enough to end the friendship because its that serious to me.

It's going to be my first piercing (except for regular ear piercing)...Idk what to do because money is an issue but I don't want my health to be ruined either. My friend herself has hella piercings and she recently starting doing other people but I Haven't asked her where she gets her needles from and stuff. I've been doing some research and most say getting it done by a professional is best. My friend assures me its safe but I don't know and I don't wana make her feel bad since she offered to do mine.

The guy I've been seeing has adapted a few different habits. At first I thought that they were just an extension of his being generally uneasy with life and wanting to shake things up a bit, but a friend of mine told me that the only reason a guy changes his routine is for a girl. Not sure if that's true. Here are some of the changes:

Correspondence: He usually only uses text, but with me has gone through all sort of alternate networks to keep in touch, then informs me that he doesn't usually use all those other sources, just texting.

Eating: He's a big meat-and-potatoes guy, but with me has small quantities, lots of veggies and tea rather than coffee.

Exercise: He's started working out every day, which he wasn't doing for a long time.

Activities: He seems restless/bored with his routine and is always asking if I want company.

Reporting: He tends to tell me exactly what he's doing and where he's going to be, which has gotten me into doing the same thing, lol. I've never actually seen a guy do that on a daily basis.

We're just friends, but I like him and could see us going further. I'm just not sure if he's changing because he's developing feelings for me OR if it's just a point in his life where he has to change something and is generally restless.

Advice?

Id go with a group if I could but I haven't become friends with many of the people there yet especially the women. My co worker knows I have a boyfriend and is clear that its not a date. Were thinking of going to the movies then for coffee to talk about it, then home. I started a new job and I'm just trying to build more friendships, at the moment I have no real friends so I want to try to get to know people. I'm not interested in this guy for anything other than friendship and he's said that he'll respect my relationship. I just don't know if my boyfriend will accept this completely. I'll tell my boyfriend where were going and call him before and after the movie.

Guys, if you were my boyfriend would you be OK with this?

Girls, would you think this is acceptable behavior?

My crush, let's call him Adam. We've been flirting with each other for some time and everyone around us can tell we like each other. But my best guy friend is less than impressed. These two guys have known each other for years, longer than I have known either. But my guy friend is strongly discouraging me from going out with Adam., but won't tell me why. He just won't. And he is serious because he's saying if I go out with Adam, he's going to distance himself from me. What do I do? I definitely don't want to lose my best guy friend but I also like Adam quite a bit.

It might sound silly that I'm passing up on a chance at love but he knows Adam much better than I do and maybe wants to protect me from getting hurt? I'm so lost. And it's not like my guy friend likes me too since he has his own girlfriend and they're a great couple.

So for my own personal reasons I am waiting until I am married to have sex (this includes oral sex). I understand that most guys don't like this, I understand that this is very uncommon and unrealistic but this is something, for my own reasons I want to do.

I generally do not tell people other than my super close friends (my parents do not even know) because this is a personal choice and not really anyone's business beside my own. But I am not the stupid virgin, I know about sex, and contraception, and STI's and the whole nine yards. I am actually the one to drive my friends to Planned Parenthood or buy them condoms when they are too scared because you know safety first.

To get to the real meet of my question I have been going out with a guy since the beginning of September he is my first boyfriend but I am his fifth girlfriend. He knows that I want to take things kinda slow (we have barely gone to second base over my shirt) and he respects that given the little experience that I have had. What he does not know is that no matter how slow we go we are not having sex (or oral sex).

He is a great guy and he cares and respects me but I still have that fear in the back of my mind that he might break up with me knowing that we will never have sex. I have heard of guys that even though they said they would not date a girl knowing that she was abstinent got to know the girl and then stayed anyone (the situation with my older cousin and her husband). So I hoping that maybe that would be the situation so I want to avoid telling him because maybe he will become more invested in the relationship and build stronger feelings and not want to break up.

Two of my close friends are saying I should tell him because he might break up anyway and it is better to get it over with now, and I should not go out with a guy who can't respect my choices, and I could be keeping him from happiness with someone else.

What should I do should I tell him (even though I never really tell anyone) or should not say anything? And If I do tell how soon should I tell him?
