Hey Dawson! I recently discovered your show while trying to listen to the radio and I haven't missed a show since. Listening to you talk to these people and hearing your advice helps me through so much that I otherwise wouldn't have a clue what to do. Thanks for that! I was also wanting to ask a question--I've been through a lot of crap with the opposite sex in the past few years and I've talked to my boyfriend about it and he understands what I've been through. But sometimes when we're alone I find it hard to open up to him about things because of what I've went through. I've come a long way since we started dating with opening up and I'm working on it but to him sometimes it doesn't seem like it. How can I assure him that I'm working on this?

I suppose this may be the most difficult thing for anyone to understand. the opposite sex, I mean. Alot of the time, the male stand up comics joke about how women are ever changing and how men will never understand them. What they don't realize is that women see men in almost the same light. Women joke about how men are all "sex, sports, and schnapps". In reality, men tend to leave women more confused than any woman can leave a man....

i was raped from ages 3 - 6 and i called you help line and they helped me tell my family so now i have something to tell those out there that have been raped its ok it truly isnt your fault so be onest with your bf / gf but give them and yourself time to be totally honest with each other dont lie to each other though and if yoou feel like there holding back ask them and if you do then maybe they will be able to tell you easier though it still may take time to tell you.and i didnt let the whole me being raped thing hold me back in my relationships i dont put my all in it either i get close but not to close so just take your time to get to no whoever your dating and in time youll understand them!!!

On a slightly random note, I feel like it is wrong for most everyone to say that guys are the only ones with a high sex drive. This comment comes from reading others questions and comments about how it's always guys who want to have sex and stuff. I know a few girls/women who struggle with things and who are very visually turned on, like a lot of people claim only guys are, including myself. Not that I have ever acted on such impulses or whatever and not just because I haven't found a guy yet who has thought me attractive in that way. ;) Okay, onto my question.. Do you think that guys notice when a girl becomes attracted to them? Do they know why a girl is acting slightly awkard and shy? or do they assume it's just her personality? Or perhaps not even notice that anything is amiss .. In my current case, I am acquaintences with this guy who is on my brother floor. (I am a freshman in college) Well, I would say we are friends, kind of. I am attending the same church as him partially in hopes that we will become better friends. But would a guy notice something like that? Are they likely to let their thoughts go in such a direction as for them to wonder why a person/girl is doing something? Should I worry about him noticing this and thinking that I like him as more than a friend? Or will my worrying about that be the thing that makes it noticeable and gives it away?

My boyfriend recently asked me to marry him and I said "yes". We've kept it a secret from our parents because my parents are really strict and wouldn't like the idea of me being engaged before I finish high school. His mom is wonderful though and I want her to know--how do I tell my fiance that I want to tell his mom about our engagement?

i dont really have a comment, but i do have a question. well i have this guy that likes me, he is really nice but i just want to be friends. i have told him this, but he wont take no for an answer. he keeps asking to hang, just me and him. he keeps talking about how he wants to kiss me and stuff like that. he makes me feel very uncomfortable. i have let him know all this, but he just wont stop. i have even tried to stop talking to him for a bit, but that never works either. please help!!

If you have a friend that you don't like (in the boyfriend/girlfriend sense) and everyone around you thinks you do, what do you do. He dosen't like you though. we both just want to be friends.

hay Dawson, I like your show and i think to are good. But see i have depression and I'm 17-years-old and i hate to have depression. But i have it and i have to live with it to. my question is about a boy and i like him but i don't know how to tell him, so what i am asking is how do you tell someone you like them? and he's been a friend of the family i think he likes me to but i don't know he likes to say nice things to me and make me laugh and i like that about him so what do i do?

Dawson, I heard your show when you were talking to Ross about the wishy-washy way he wanted to break up with the naive 20-year-old until you told him he needed to give the car back. Suddenly his tune changed and he decided he really did love the girl after a 7-mos-long relationship and $20,000. I am 43 now and I have been the girl he's talking about, very naive out of high school and then thrown to the dogs. I had moved a lot, been wearing glasses, was very skinny and always wore Salvation Army style clothes, ae: always used. When I became a high school student, I blossomed well, I guess you could say. My measurements in the Hawaiian Swimsuit contest of 1985 were 38-22-36. My boyfriend of two years didn't like the attention, so after I made it to the finals, I dropped out. I was insecure. My mother was jealous and told me there wasn't enough room in the house for her because of the attention my perverted father gave me and left. A few months later, I found out he really did "like" me and when I turned him in, I got booted out. I was desperate and clung to any man who would have me. As you can imagine, there were a lot, for short periods of time. I could pretty much always get my way and used it to my advantage as a dancer until I decided that wasn't the life for me. It was very hard going from so much money to a customer service job, very hard indeed. The doctors told me I would never have a baby, but now I have two. Two different dads. When I was pregnant with the second, I was in a terrible car accident which mangled my spine pretty good. It was the other guy's fault, but that was three years ago. I cannot hold a job because as soon as they find out I have health problems, I'm suddenly "Over-qualified" or "So-and-so's sister needs a job" and I'm let go. This is a right to work state, no harm, no foul. Since the accident, I cannot exercise as I did when I was a health fanatic and I've gained 20 lbs. My face has aged at least 10 years and I'm not the desirable little catch I was when I didn't realize it. I've attended college and so far, have made it through 3 years after returning several times. (Sitting for long periods is difficult.) So, I say to myself, "Men at my age are dropping their kids off at college. They don't want a 7-year-old and a 2-year-old, plus a woman who can't really work (in multiple ways), so I've really come down to the fact that there ISN'T always "someone for everyone" and I would be much better off alone. My question is, "Do you believe some people are better off alone?" Because I pretty much feel like the spoiled cream at this point. And Ross? He's the first step to ruining that girl's life. Every time you told him what to do; return the car, break it off, etc., he said, "Right, right." He wasn't listening... he was airing out to make himself feel better for a few more days. The only way he can REALLY be sincere and realize his own sickness is if he can continue a "real" relationship with the girl he thinks he loves, whose car he drives, and not borrow ANY more money from her. But he cannot.... I've been her. I've honestly been her and seen a whole lot of Rosses, trying to find one worthwhile. He's exactly the kind of guy he warned her about.... selfish, crude, disgusting and spineless.

So I'm at a tough spot. My boyfriend wants me to do something I'm just not ready for. He says he understands, but he keeps bringing it up. Why is it that it seems all guys are just looking for sex? Why can't they just wait?

Sunday, Feb 1, 2009 - 11:01:10 PM
Hey Dawson!! First I would like to say I really like the info that you give about everything (not just the opposite sex). So there's this guy who I like and he flirts with me, but he's been known to have a girlfriend, but last I heard they broke up. He teases a lot and I don't know whether he likes me or not. In school I see him in the halls with a girl getting teased by him, but what I noticed was that she and I were the only two girls that get teased...I want to know whether the teasing and flirting is meant in a friendship way or a relationship way.

hey btw i have another question. so first of all i am the type of person that every gvirls and or guy ask me a question about relationships. and when they ask of my opinion i am ussually right like 96.65743245% of the time. when i am right evertyhing in my friends relationship geos right. somehow i know what girls want from other guys and i know what guys want from girls when i get those questions. basiclly im a young opinionist that ussully has an opinion on relationship,friendships ect. that is correct. so hwo come i can take my opinion and help others with their problem, but when i have a peoblem, like the one i had already sent you, i cant use my own advice to solve it????
- josh r

Saturday, Jan 31, 2009 - 10:22:12 PM
two questions......... how do you tell a girl how you feel bout her ????? like ive had a few girlfriends in my life but they all end up hurting me somehow. and this girl i like i feel is to good for me.......i mean she is very pretty and nice but i think that im not good enough for her. how can i tell her???? my second question is how do i keep from just being the friend who understands her???? you see im the type of guy that every girl that knows me knows that i dont want sex.......you know. so these girls always come to me and tell me there problems. but ive tried to ask one of them out but they tell me we are jsut friends and thats all we will ever be. you see im a strong believer in a strong friendship before a relationship but it seems all the girls liek the guys who flirt with them and are experienced if you know what i mean. but every time i start jsut flirting i might date them for a while but it never last for more that like 2 months. so what im askin how can i move up into the status of boyfriend and not just the friend, and then how do i keep a relationship fun and evything without sex?????

What I would like to know is if girls think about physical intimacy as much (or close to) as guys do? I was raised to think that girls don't really respond to physical attention or visual attraction as much as guys do. Recent events, however, have led me to think otherwise. Any answers?

Hey Dawson! Your show is really awesome, I always look forward to it on Sunday nights. [= Okay here is my question...I am going to be 18 in 3 months, and I am very short, and rather small. I know I look really young[most people think 14]. Well the only guys that are ever interested in me are younger than me, like 14 and 15! I have nothing against age differences, but I am very spiritually serious and when it comes to relationship stuff guys that age aren't able to think maturely on the same level. I fear that when I get to college next fall none of the guys there will be interested either because of how small I am. I am only interested in mature relationships...So why can't I get guys my age/older to acknowledge me?! And how can I get them to notice me short of growing 5 inches?

Why does my guy best friend act like he likes me even though he says he likes one of my girl best friends? I really like him, and my friend knows how I feel about him and how he feels about her. But why does he act more interested in me than her even though we decided that if we were together it would be weird right now?

Saturday, Jan 31, 2009 - 11:08:59 AM
What I don't understand about guys is why sex is always on their mind. It's so exhausting having to constantly try to satisfy their insatiable cravings so they won't get mad and leave - when in the end they're never content with what you give them and you're always left feeling drained and inadequate. Why does it always have to be about sex? Don't guys ever think about or want anything else?

Its Emily again, I forgot to mention that I told him I liked him but at least right now he's not into me in that way. I have known him for a long time, and we are the BEST of friends, always talking, and people always think we should be together. I am falling in love with him. I never stop thinking of him, everything I do or say makes me think of him. I care for him so much. We are still best friends even though he knows, but it feels a little awkward. And he STILL acts interested. I know everything about him, and the more we talked and I got to know him the harder I fell for him, and now I'm falling in love, and it's almost miserable, the one you know you are meant to be with, you can't have! I am just not sure what to do, i'm so confused!

Friday, Jan 30, 2009 - 1:24:17 AM
My best friend is a guy. And I can always tell when he likes someone, and I was SURE he liked me, always flirting, and acting interested and staring. But I was wrong I guess. I really really like him and I want to be with him. But he likes one of my other best friends. I was so sure he liked me, why would he act like it if he didnt? I mean, he's admited to me that he's shy and insecure and thinks that no one would ever like him, but why would he do this?

Friday, Jan 30, 2009 - 12:48:18 AM
Hey Dawson! So I've asked a question before, but there's something else I'd really like answered...I have a best friend that is a guy and we talk all the time...but i can't seem to open up to him...so here's my question..how do you know what's too much to tell a guy because of the different gender boundary?
- Rebecca

Friday, Jan 30, 2009 - 12:17:25 AM
What I don't understand is how a guy can say I like you a lot. I want to be in a relationship. Then you get in one with him and to you it seems fine. But then it ends a couple of days later. And he says. We need to be friends. I'm not ready for a relationship. So I step back and I act like his friend. Yet he calls me everynight before he goes to bed. And text me through out the whole day. I don't understand. What does he want from me?

I don't know what I would do without my guy friends. I haven had a boyfriend since i was 15 and I'm perfectl fine with that. Guy friends are just like boyfriends except there isn't any pressure to do anything physical or sexual with them and u can have tons of them without feeling like you're cheating. They always protect you too. But I have no girl friends and I would really like some. I dont know what to do to get any since I only know how to hang around guys. I would love some advice on that. Thx!

I don't know how to deal with one of my best friends wich happens to be a girl. everyone around me thinks that becasue we talk so much and we spend so much time together we are "secretly" going out. even though we tel them we're not they still harrass us like we are. and all of the boys in my class call her a liar and other names, but they are not the worst, they still impact her too much. i know she lies sometimes, but that is human nature, i dont know how to deal with this problem becasue whenever a guy and a girl get to gether and talk for just 20 minutes everyone automatticly thinks "oh my gosh Drew and that one girl are going out!" its ridiculous.
