I am 18 but I met him at 16. We really do care about each other. No he doesn't want me for sex. Yes I am sure.

TWO QUESTIONS AT ONCE! But they are not related. I dont want to marry him until I am like 25.

So here's the situation:
Last night I was supposed to hang out with one of my friends. Okay so in all reality, he is definitely a friends with benefits , but I digress. We had been planning this for a few days now. I knew he would have to come over later that day because he was spending most of the day getting his sleeve tattoo done. But before his appointment yesterday morning, he came over for about twenty minutes just to hang out with me for a bit but the he had to leave. I didn't hear from him all day. Finally at about 9 at night I got tired of waiting. I knew he should have been done hours ago. So I texted him and asked him if he was still planning on coming over. I didn't get a response until midnight saying that he was probably going to come over late that night because he was really tired. I was kind of annoyed with that. I had waited all day for him, but what else could I do? So I told him that was fine. I stayed waiting for the text that would let me know he was finally coming over, but after a long time I fell asleep. Early this morning I woke up half panicked thinking I missed his text, and frantically found my phone. No text. I knew he was about to wake up to go to work so I messaged him saying "I guess staying up was a waste. Whatever. Have a good day at work." A bit later I got a response saying "I'm sorry I slept in too much. Want me to come over before work?" Not exactly thrilled about being an early morning booty call I just told him "it's not worth it. Just go to work." He would have only had a half hour over here anyways. I got no response after that. So what do I do here? Do I just play it cool and let it roll off? Do I give him a piece of my mind? Do I (preferably not) pull the whole dreaded "we need to talk" thing? Do I cut him off altogether? How big of a deal should this be anyways? I mean, he killed my weekend. I want to be able to stand up for myself, but I also don't want this to be made into a bigger deal than it should be.

I know times have change and all that, however I'm in a relationship with the most humble, lovely guy who is white. I'm black. Both from the UK. We are both nearly 18. He seems serious about our relationship and I am too. He is always asking if my parents will like him and obviously I say yes and he has said his parents will like me also. HOWEVER we have never had a discussion about our different races. What if his parents don't approve of him dating a person of colour? I know some parents still do that and I don't think it makes them racist. I'm scared incase his family gets disappointed in him for dating me and I plan on avoiding to meet them because I don't want to go through an awkward moment when they just look at me as though I'm imposing. Are your parents like this or know anything similar? Also how can I bring this issue up to my boyfriend?

Is there any truth to this? My friends always tell me this. I'm white and my long term boyfriend is black. We want to have a baby in the future. Where do they get this from?

To me, it seems like it would not work because someone needs to drive the conversation. What do you guys think?

Also, what if they are both awkward and inexperienced? If neither of them really know what to do in relationships and are also shy, this does not seem like a winning combination to me, but what do you guys think?

So like, my mom bought the same shoes I have for my cousin. It's really upsetting. Now I have to always worry whether I can wear them or not in case she decides to and she might think my mom bought them for her first, so I'm trying to cooy her, which I am so like not! Would you peeps care about this?

I have been seeing this guy and I know his ex. The thought of her makes him really upset and if she ever happens to be in the same place as him (bar, grocery store, restaurant) he has to stop whatever he's doing and leave. I feel like either he still likes her but she doesn't want him, or she did something pretty terrible. Whenever he talks to me about her (which isn't often) he refers to her as that whore, and she just makes him so angry. We haven't been together that long so I haven't really asked him about it yet, they haven't been together in years. Do you think he still has feelings or he just genuinely dislikes her THAT much? Thanks.
