Hi there… How’s it going? Probably not all that great or you wouldn’t be here looking for help. No worries. Teens have been emailing me since 1997 because I give good advice. If you’ve got a problem with friends, so-called friends, a bf/gf, a parent, or anything else… email me. I can help you sort out your feelings. No matter what’s going on, you always have choices. And choices matter because sometimes the stuff we do to “fix” a problem only makes things worse. You don’t want to go there. Instead, let me help you figure out your next best move
In friendship,
Terra (aka Annie Fox)

“My boyfriend thinks I've been with other guys.” |
“Does she like me?” |

Hey Terra, My boyfriend sometimes gets mad because when we have sexual intercourse sometimes my vagina is more open and sometimes it's more tight. He thinks that I have been with other guys and that that is the reason why I am open like that. I know I haven't been with any other guys so can you please explain to me why this happens? Curious |
Hey Terra, I like this girl and I've gone up to her a couple of times now to talk, nothing serious just talk. She always seems happy when I do. She smiles a lot and seems to laugh at a lot of the things I say, but the thing is if I don't go up and talk to her she won't say a word to me not even "hi." She will just stand there and talk to other people instead or just stand there and say nothing. My question is does she like me? I haven't told her I liked her yet or even hinted with words but don't you think it's obvious? I'm confused. Help me. We are both 17 and she doesn't have a boyfriend if that... |

Annie’s Blog:
I want a boyfriend but I'm not good at flirting!
March 24, 2019
I wish I had a boyfriend...
I just got an email from a girl who's never had a boyfriend and she really wants one. We've all been there, right? Everyone deserves to be loved. Being loved by someone you love is an amazing feeling that nurtures your spirit and opens your heart and mind to the beauty of life. If you aren't in a relationship and you want to be, you may feel frustrated and/or impatient. But you know what they say? You can't hurry love. You can, however, prepare yourself to be a good partner by learning about yourself, what you want, and what you need.
Teen: I'm a 16 year old girl who never had a boyfriend before but I really want one. The thing is, I'm kind of shy so I'm not that good at flirting!
Annie: It might be helpful for you to think about what kind of boyfriend you™re looking for. How about if you fill in the blank in this sentence?
I want a boyfriend who is __________________________________________.
Keep brainstorming until you run out of things that are true for you.
Teen: I want a boyfriend who is: loyal, friendly, kind, respects boundaries, a good listener, and willing to try new things.
Annie: That™s a very thoughtful list of qualities. Good work. So tell me, do you already know someone with any or some of those qualities?
