Relationships
Whether you've been dumped by text, ignored after sex, or you're desperate to make a move on a mate, you can be sure you're not the only one having a relationship dilemma.
Relationship Issues....
Choosing a partner and staying with them is often hard work however old you are, Especially when you're first starting out.....
The most important thing to keep in mind is that being with someone is meant to be a positive experience. It should be fun and make you feel good about yourself. It won't be a perfect romance every day as all relationships have their ups and downs but if you are not happy for whatever reason then it could be time to call it a day and move on, but first... talk to your partner about how you feel and discuss the situation that you are in. It helps to talk through problems........ Check our Counselling section if you need support.
You've had your eye on someone for ages and want to get to know them better. But they don't even seem to realise you exist. It's going to be up to you to make the first move. But how?
Getting talking to someone you don't know is always difficult and both boys and girls are going to feel nervous about approaching someone they fancy.
Top Tips
- Before you start talking to someone, try to give them a few signs that you are interested. Try smiling at them. See if they smile back or blush. Have a sneaky look to see whether they look back at you when you have walked past.
- If the signs are good, then say hi. If you get a response, follow up with something you'll both be interested in talking about.
- Everyone loves compliments. Say their hair looks nice or you like their new trainers - they may be a bit embarrassed but they will notice you.
- If you do get round to asking somebody out, it's much better to ask them to do something specific, rather than just asking if they will go out with you. If they say no, they may be rejecting the event, not you.
- If you have to turn someone down, try to do it gently. Don't feel you have to go out with them out of pity.
- If you are too nervous to suggest a one-to-one date, then go out in a group.
