[HELP.ME.PLEASE!!!]

okay, so i need some advice, if any girls are willing to help me?
well actually, i would first like to say that this is an awesome comic and im glad ive read it before i get more into the whole dating thing.
but right now, i have a boyfriend, who is madly in love with me, and said that he'll find no one as perfect as me for him, and i USED to feel like that for him, and was in love and everything, but know, well, i dont really like him like before, and just prefer if we were friends and i find myself thinking of what to say to him when i break up with him ,, but i dont want to break him in 2 cuz i still care for him ..
PLEASE HELP ME?!?!?!

experiance it for ourselves in order
to learn and move on with life!
ITS liFE!←

YOU ROCK! guys at my skool do this all the time and now me and my friends have put the zero tolerance act in effect and have been telling other girls about it in other skools as well as ours

maybe now boys will learn

[cat]

what happens when you think u found the perfect guy that was ur friend first, and then u started going out cause it turned into attraction, but then u couldn't see each other often and then the feeling faded for the guy and he texted ur closest girlfriend instead of u, and u were hurt that he wouldnt tell u upfront, so u tell him that in a text, and he ignores u in the halls?

u barely see each other, but when u do, he says hi TO UR FRIENDS, but not u.
what is that? can they be friends again? even lovers, maybe?

[Hippiesque]

somerandomguy, whether or not that's what's actually going on in those situations, the point is that if he's behaving that way then it's only going to cause her drama so why put up with it?

[somerandomguy]

Oh of course. Just because someone doesn't call back definetely means they're banging another chick and that just because they don't want to be nice in front of their friends means they're only trying to get into your pants. You have opened my ignorant eyes. Thanks a lot for degrading us. How thoughtful of you. ._.

[jessica]

O.o......you speak truth!!Such clever young woman u are!Every female should read this and make their life better!!They should follow your exaple!This is like the most truthful comic ive read in my life*hugs*thankyou!

[Kira]

It seems so obvious reading it, but I've made mistakes like that before. Every girl on earth should read this. we are easy to fool. i wish i'd read it before

[Darla]

I totally agree with this comic. I was always told by the women in my family:
1. Never Chase any man, let him chase u.
2. Keep ur head up (stay confident) Keep ur skirt down (no sex) and ur purse closed. (don't give out money).
3. And never fight another female over any man.

U practically spelt my morals out in a comic.

Also, I'd like to add that when looking for a boyfriend it's very important that you can get along as friends as well as have an attraction. If you don't have much to talk about and can't see yourself enjoying his company on a non-dating level, he's probably not for you.

[Abby_Denson]

Thanks for all of the comments here! I do want to clarify that this happens to guys too, and I am not trying to say all guys are bad. There are a lot of great guys out there! I do think society encourages this kind of behavior on both sides. Just don't waste your time and affection with guys that are jerking you around when you can be happy and single and available to meet the good ones. Sadly, I hate to tell you this is not just a teenager thing. This goes on with MANY people in their adult lives, so I'm hoping this advice will help you identify and avoid the problem early.

[Eve]

good advice there. :)
and I do feel angst when I KNOW that something bad is going to happen. and it happens. in everything, not only guys.

I usually have nose for pervs and the majority of teens are like that. that's why I had my first real boyfriend late.

I enjoy being single though.

[Jessica]

gosh.
/feels ashamed of self/ ;_;
Plus some guys just seem to play hard-to-get.
Any advice on that?
*goes back to comic*

[Krista]

I agree with some of the people on here. It is just a teenager thing- we all have to learn about the world of dating. Also, many girls do this to guys.

[kristen]

amazing, but not fun to read....the guy i like seems to fit every single description...

[Anna]

ohhh so true. awesome comic.

[Charr]

This comic is reallyy good!!It opened my eyes to how Im used to being treated byy myy unofficial boyfriend...all I have to sayy is wow...I can move on and know that there's someone better out there for me.

[Tati]

GENIUS!!! It's true, if a guy really likes you, he'll put in tons of effort for your attention. This doesn't mean they have to do all the work. Just be straight out and don't play games.

[amanda]

This comic is awesome. I'm single right now, and I like it that way. I'm not the type of person who obssesses over getting a guy. In my opinion, just live your life and if a guy asks you out, good for you.
You spelled out my whole ideas on dating in this comic. I have two friends with very low self-esteem regarding their boyfriends. I'm so sending them this comic. Thanks!

[CATHERINE AKA FREAKIZHERE]

WAT A FREAKIN STUPID GURL...........
DATS ALL I GOT 2 SAY BOUT THIS DUMB GURL :[
ITS A TEENAGER THING!!!!!!!!!

[Anna]

RIGHT. ON. SISTER.

And p.s. for those girls in doubt (like "lol"): there IS hope. Not all boys are like this. Some of them are really amazing, and would never dream of treating you the way the boys in this comic do. Sometimes you can't see them or just haven't found them yet, but they ARE out there, and every girl deserves one.

[Nona]

I still counsel some of my friends. But now instead of telling them the same thing over and over again, I gave them the link to this comic.

This hit the nail on the head! 8D

[signedannonymous]

this is a great comic. i'll surely recommend that some of my friends read this when they start nagging and making excuses for loser guys.

[lol]

U make it seem as if all boys are bad though.. give us some hope!
From someone who still hasnt had a bf because of meeting an execsive amount of jerky guys

[AmorMJ]

You go for it girl, zero tolorance I totally agree!
Five outta five!

[Shark]

This makes me feel really worried :/
All those things sound like my relationship :(
I thought I was overreacting and now I don't know what to think....
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[D'metria]

I totally agree with this comic. I was always told by the women in my family:
1. Never Chase no man, let him chase u.
2. Keep ur head up (stay confident) Keep ur skirt down (no sex) and ur purse closed. (don't give out money).
3. And never fight another female over no man.

[Lily]

Ahaha. Omg, this comic speaks the truth. Such great advice too, if you've ever been in a situation like that(which every girl has, or will be). ESPECIALLY the part about being wishy-washy with plans. I never wait around for guys like that. The faster you forget them, the better. :)

[tashaa04]

lmfaoo i loved it :)
reminds me of my ex

he was a jerk around his friends
but when we were alone , or like watching a movie at a friends house
he'd always wanna watch it on the bed, and he'd be all over me;
jerk.

and liek the whole
"sorry i have a bf
... that hardly pays attention to me. "

haha, i thought that more than once i love it! eheheheheeee.

[Cheyenne]

I did like this comic but....You did make it sound like all guys are bad.

[Charlie]

I really liked this comic... most guys are only looking for one thing...

but i don't like how you make it seem like all girls are sooo niave and so torn up over guys

[AlessyRomania]

It's a great comic and it's true all that you write in it. Boys are looking only for sex and stuff like this, and the girls are so naive...and boys can do everything that they want with them...So girls...wake up!be smarter than them! Show that you can beat them...that you are better than they are...and that you are smarter...Good Luck!

[krista]

urg...im sick of jerky guys...great comic!!

urg...im sick of jerky guys...great comic!!

[tammy williams]

i like this comic because alot of these girls are going through this and they think having a boyfriend even though they are having promblems in their relationship and this comic tell that you dont have to go through that

[gg]

I loved this comic-it was just perfect! thanks so much, all teenage girls need to read this!

[sarah]

wow this comic rocks! it's totally right! every girl should read this. zero tolerance has worked for me before, and will certainly be used again in the future

[Jaime]

THATNK YOU for this comic! Especially the part about pinning a guy down. I've been experiencing this problem for weeks and ur comic gave me the answer I needed. Once again, thanks.

[Shana]

It's refreshing to know there are other girls out there who practice ZERO TOLERANCE! go Abby! =)

[Caira]

OMG TOTALLY TRUE KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE UR NEW COMIX!!!!

[lids]

ugh I hate it when guys act all wishy-washy. The sooner your straight forward the sooner you can get over it why don't they get that?! pansies.

[lids]

[Bynx]

I'm happy SOMEBODY finally said it....these girls can be sooo dumb & invest their lives TOTALLY in someone 2 the point where even when the guy treats them worse than crap...they're lusting over him like bees on honey! It's sickening! I hope this slap in the face woke them all up! GOOD COMIC!

[nicole henley]

SPEAK THE TRUTH SISTER! thats so true iam listening and iam have a reall empty bag now cant wait to fine a nice cute guy. your the best writer there is thxs bye!

[Sarah]

noe,

I just want to say that although, I do agree that girls SHOULD already know this stuff, a lot of them don't seem to get it, and just keep going out with jerks who don't deserve them. Look at some of the other comments.

[Samriddhi]

~~Hey nice going girl!! I really like that part...death glance...lolz...totally sarcastic!! hope u write more...would love to read dem. the whole comic was totally cute...u hv got good sense regarding boys...an especially the subject u choose is very sociable...thnkuuu...keep it up!!~~

[Sydney]

AMEN TO THAT SISTAHHH.

[Steph]

This comic is great! I've never had a proper boyfriend but I will definitely be taking this advice on board - I may even print it out and make a little book to keep and refer back to!!!

[Lyn :]]

I Really enjoyed the commic.
I like her sayinq."empty bag is better than bag full of crap"
Thats some good advice :]
