My boyfriend of 2 ½ years broke up with me last week. He told me that after fasting and praying, he heard the voice of God telling him to dethrone anything that was currently capturing his heart. That thing was me. I understand that this is what we both need to really clear our minds and put God in his rightful place, but my heart is killing me. Any advice?
I totally get where you're at... been on both sides of the "have to put God first" breakup, and neither end of it feels very good. On one hand, I...

My boyfriend is just my type. Plus, my parents really like him and his parents really like me. But I think he wants to have sex. He said that if he ever did anything I didn't like that I have the right to stop him, and he asked me what my limits were. But he sometimes says things that make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. What should I do?

A year ago I met a guy. He's insanely sweet, humble, very caring, and always full of joy. He's the type of guy that people love being around. Later on I found out why: he's a Christian. A true follower. I was never really introduced to God as a child, but because of this guy, I started to become more interested. I read the Bible almost every day for four months and I started to follow Christ on my own. It's been a year now, and I am completely infatuated with this guy, because of who he is and what he's done for me. I really like him, but I don't think he feels the same way about me. I hate that I get jealous when he talks to other girls. Should I just let him go and stop talking to him completely? Because I feel like it's destroying me. I try reading Scripture to help stop these feelings, but when I see him they always come back.

Reading through your question I'm reminded how God gets a hold of His own in so many different ways! No matter if you...

I have a great boyfriend who respects me and loves me. I told him I'm not ready for sex because I'd like to stay a virgin until I'm married. He said he is perfectly fine with that. He also said that if he ever does anything that makes me feel uncomfortable, I need to tell him. The thing is, he sometimes says things that I'm unsure about. He makes little comments about my body or about sex that I don't really know what to do with. I'd like to include that he has severe A.D.H.D. and so he speaks what's on his mind and doesn't really have a filter.
I'm so proud of you for communicating your boundaries to your boyfriend! You're a wise girl to save the precious gift of sex for your husband. It's...

I have a boyfriend who is two years older than me and a very new Christian. My mom has set strict guidelines for our relationship, but, unfortunately, we've already broken the rules. My boyfriend and I have talked and we are both committed to not having premarital sex, but we've gone as far as making out and I'm afraid this will lead to more, as well as the fact that my mom does't even want us kissing. I want to obey her. How do I tell my boyfriend this, and what if he doesn't get it? And how do I assure we are slowing down?

So I'm the new girl in school and there's this boy in my class named C. I think he might like me. I've been going to this new school for two days already. Every time he talks to someone in my class he looks at me and smiles. I can't really explain it, but he has been acting really strange every time he's around me. He's always happy and talking as if he's trying to show off something. What should I do?

It's always hard to switch schools in the middle of the year. Other than the confusion over C, I hope the transition...

I broke up with my boyfriend and now he is dating my friend! Even though he is dating my friend, he still stares at me when I'm doing something (I know this because my friend told me). Does he still like me? If not why does he keep on staring at me?

After I broke up with my boyfriend, he said some really awful things to me. It got to the point where I would be scared to pick up the phone, and I couldn't eat or sleep. Eventually I got over it, but he's still crazy about me and now he's really depressed. He is anorexic right now and wears nothing but black and sometimes paints his nails black when he feels super depressed. I know he's hurt because of me (he tells me all the time), and I feel so terrible. I just want to help, but I'm dating someone else now. I've been praying and praying about it, but what can I do?
I can tell why you're hurt and scared for your ex-boyfriend. When someone you care about is depressed, especially when you feel responsible for their...

How do I get a guy back who used to be crazy about me but now has someone else in his life? We used to be best friends, until he told me he liked me and i didn't say anything back. At first I just wanted to be friends, but then I started developing feelings for him and the other day I let him know how I felt. He told me he used to like me a lot, but was hurt because he thought I didn't like him back and made himself kind of stop. Now he spends all of his time with a new girl, and I'm very jealous and just crazy about him. We hardly talk anymore.

My boyfriend lives far away. We never see each other, but we video chat a lot. He has been feeling very depressed. He sleeps all day, won’t answer my invites, and is always mad at people. He said he didn’t want to get me in to his problems because he doesn’t want to hurt me. What should I do?
This isn't an easy question

I’ve had a crush on one of my guy friends for a while. For a while, I really thought he liked me back. He would always flirt with me and stuff. A friend convinced me to tell him that I like him, which I kind of regret now. He was really nice for a while, but then he started liking one of my best friends, and she liked him back, despite of me and my feelings. (I’m having a really hard time forgiving her for that!) Well, they broke up today. Should I let him know that I still like him? Or should I even like him?

I have been with this guy for about three months. I have been hurt quite a lot during our relationship, and I’m just not sure if he is with me for the right reasons. When we used to talk, we would laugh and talk seriously, but now it’s all about sex. He tells me he loves me, but maybe he’s lying. He told me I’m too good for him… Is this a sign he wants it to be over?
I'm sorry you're hurting in

My boyfriend of 8 months broke up with me last week. Lately he's been texting me. It kind of seems like he wants to get back together, but I’m not sure. He texts me about taking the same classes for summer school, and he even made a comment about coming to visit me when I move in the fall. When he broke up with me I just wanted to die, but now I’m not sure whether he wants me back. I’m so confused. Please help!

I am (sadly) 19 and have never been in love…or on a date…or anything. I've had tons of guy friends. I'm not interested in girls—I am interested in guys, just not in any guy I know or have met. So a friend is about to confess he likes me and wants to go out. Should I date him and get the experience? I think that would be wrong.... but I don't know. I'm starting to feel like I'll never fall in love and end up alone romantically. What should I do?

My boyfriend of three months and I are both Christians and really love God. Even though he isn’t a virgin, he loves me, respects me, and doesn't want to have sex until we're married. But I still feel myself compromising for him, and I don't want to always be the one stopping us from going further. We set clear boundaries, but over the last week we went past those boundaries, so now we've set even stricter ones. I'm scared that we're going to go farther again. We're only 16. I don't think we'd be able to get married for at least two years. If a guy has a problem with lust, is that a reason not to be with him? How can we keep God at the center of our relationship?

Being in college, I am really focusing on my walk with the Lord and finding my purpose. My boyfriend of three years supports my faith and has come to church occasionally, but I really feel the need to marry a godly man. With this said, I made a really difficult decision to end things. It was a struggle between having such an easy, loving and comfortable relationship, and wanting to wait for the man God has made for me... Now, though, I'm stuck here thinking no man will ever love me as much as he did! I can't help but think this is going to be a long and lonely period of waiting around, while he moves on thinking I'm crazy and finding another girl! Have you ever experienced a situation like this? Have any encouraging words that I made the right decision?
For what it's worth, I

I recently transferred schools and I’m just starting to really connect with the other kids in the school. It’s great! Well, there's this boy in the school who I really, REALLY like, and he really likes me too, and we both want to go out. Here’s the problem: One of my new friends used to go out with him and still really likes him, and pretty much hates any other girl that likes him. I really want to be friends with her, but this guys means sooooo much to me! Should I save the friendship or go out with this AMAZING guy who I REALLLLY like? HELP!!!

The guy I like has a girlfriend, but she lives far away and doesn’t even go to our school. I want to ask him out, but I am afraid he will say no. What should I do? Should I ask him out for the dance? Should I tell him how I feel about him? I think he likes me too.

I know that God is helping me get through the pain of my boyfriend breaking up with me. But it hurts so much—I can’t stop crying. Knowing that he has forgotten about me and moved on makes me so sad and it's making me go crazy. I started to drink, hoping the pain will go away, but my heart feels like it’s ripping apart because of him.
Oh, sis! I am so sorry that it hurts so much. Breakups are never easy, but

I’ve known a boy that a like for about five years. The problem is that he might like friend number one, and friend number one doesn’t like him. Then friend number two likes him, but he doesn’t like her. And I like him, and I think he likes me. He comes over to my house a lot, but I don’t know if he’s just there for friends one and two, or for me. I like him so much. What should I do?
Sounds like a crush triangle if I ever saw one! :-) Alright, so here's
