Advice

Buck,
This week I asked a guy out for the first time ever. Problem is, I think he misheard me when I asked. We swapped numbers and he said he was with his girlfriend when I texted.
I don’t know if I should continue texting him just as friends or not.
I have no intention of breaking him and his girlfriend up I just think it’d be awkward to talk to him and know that I wanna date him.

Thanks if you answer and hello from the Main Room!

Please help me. I’ve been trying at this for almost 4 months now! :/

Dear Buck,

My name’s Kellen, I’m 14, and last April, I came out to my class as bisexual. But for some odd reason, even though I felt comfortable doing that, I never feel comfortable revealing that to people who don’t know yet. In other words, I have many female friends and whenever they talk about like, cute/hot guys, I wanna join in but I never feel comfortable doing so because that would mean telling them I’m bisexual. Is this normal, and is there anything I can actually do?

Thanks in advance,
Kellen

Oh Buck, I need your help!
My life is looking JUST LIKE A NICHOLAS SPARKS NOVEL! I am not usually the kind of girl who enjoys drama, and so this is killing me. I recently reconnected with a guy who I have know for 13 years. Our families had a falling out a few years ago and we lost touch. But he has grown up into something beautiful and I am really falling for him, and he for me. The only thing is he lives in the town that I just fled from like a fire. He lives across the country from me, and I am considering moving back to my home town just for him. I know it seems like I’m falling far too quickly, but we’ve known each other our entire lives! He is stealing my heart and I am so terrified he will break it, but it is like standing on a cliff. I am scared to jump because I don’t know where I’ll land, but I still want to experience falling. He is everything I have ever wanted and when I look at him I feel like I am looking at my future. What do I do Buck? Do I go back? I can go to college there like I had originally planned… I have tons of friends there. But then I’d be across the country from my mother and 5 year old brother. I want to see him grow up.

But I am still so scared. Help me Buck!

Dear Buck,
i really love my girlfriend and i think she’s the one. i talked to her dad about it a couple of weeks ago when i met her family. i didnt ask if i could marry her i just told him how beautiful she was and how much i love her and that i would protect her and stuff. but then he starts lecturing me about how were only 19 and we shouldnt marry and i shouldnt talk about his daughter like that to early on in the relationship. (PS we have only been together for 3 months) Where did i go wrong?? i never told him that i wanted to marry her now. I’m so confused as to what i did wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Buck, I already asked this on youtube, but I really would like advice. There are so many other people out there who need it more but if you help me I would really appreciate it. I’m about to start college and I’m nervous. I’ve fallen for a lot of straight guys in high school who I thought were gay. I even ended up asking one of them out =/. How do I improve my gaydar or is this a stupid question and I should just keep hoping for the best? Again, I know there are so many people who need advice more than me. Thank you so much.

OH NO! I just asked a question about long distance relationships but now I have to leave and can’t watch the show.
If you could comment what you think on here that would be wonderful! Or possibly on Dear Buck?
I love you! I wish I could watch.

Hey Michael! Its Greg! I just wanted to give you an update on a past advice. Remember when I told you that I didn’t want to be set up on a date with a girl because I was gay? I wanted to be closet gay but not a “poon hungry straight boy”. We got a few good laughs out of that comment. Well, you told me that I was probably ready to come out. With inspiration from you and love and support from people I’ve met at your and Jeffrey’s shows, I recently came out to my family and a few close friends. Thanks for always being an inspiration and helping me feel more confidant with myself. xoxo Your friend, Greg Breeden

Hey buck,
Recently, my step dad has been acting really weird. My mum past away from cancer just over a year ago now, and i feel like he’s flirting with every woman he see’s. He’s kind of a drunk too, he’s becoming dependant on alcohol, i know he’s probably grieving or whatever, but It just doesn’t seem fair.

How can I talk to him about this Buck? Please, I could really do with your help.

Dear Buck,
Lately i’ve been developing feelings for my friend Emily, but I’m kind of afraid of trying to make a move because I don’t know how my best friend Jake will take it. He’s bi, and in the past he said he had feelings for me but we worked it out. He can’t stand seeing me though on dates,etc. Emily has also been his savior, as Jake had been in a depressed state lately, but now is happier then ever, and I wouldn’t want to ruin that, but I know I have to do what’s right for me. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

BUCK…I recently told someone about when I was raped by my cousin when I was 7…I can’t talk to them now because I know that when they see me, then think about what I’ve told them…Biggest problem is that she’s an amazing person, and I don’t want to loose her friendship…HELP?

Dear Buck,
I love acting and I’ve wanted to be an actress since I was 4. I’m 15 now and recently my parents told me I should give up acting and think about what i want to do for the rest of my life. I told them I wanted to be an actress but they don’t think I should. They told me that I should do something more practical. My friends tell me I’m an amazing actress but my parents won’t let me be one. I’ve been asked to audition for something really big in a couple months. It will be a really great acting opportunity! Should I go for my dreams or try to find something more practical to do like my parents say I should? By the way, your amazing!

I have two videos up right know but I don’t know the proper way to promote them without spaming other users. What should I do?

Dear Buck,
I want to start by saying that you’re Dear Buck shows are very helpful. Anyways, my problem is this…
I have two really good friends who I’ve known since sixth grade. One of my friends went away for seventh grade and is now coming back for eighth grade. In sixth grade, she would talk about her brother who had cancer. At the end of the schoolyear, we got the hint that he wasn’t doing very well. During the seventh grade year, she never emailed or texted us back so we didn’t keep in very good touch. We know she’s been going through a rough time but we don’t know if we should ask her about her little brother or not. It’s a possibility that he could’ve died and we don’t want to say anything to upset her. But we do feel like we should know because we’re her best friends. We don’t know what to do. Please help!

Dear Buck,
Hi! My name is Erin and I am sixteen years old and i have never been in a relationship yet in my life. I don’t understand why guys don’t like me, i am so lame that i have never even had my first kiss yet. I don’t really think i am ugly or anything because guys have told me that i am pretty, but body image has always been a problem with me. I feel like i look at other girls who are beautiful and have nice bodies and i wish mine was like that. I’m going to be a junior in high school and i only way 95 lbs. i have hardly any boobs what so ever, and that has always been an issue with me watching my friends try on shirts that fit great and then i try them on and it looks horrible. I was asked to homecoming my freshman and sophomore year but nothing ever came out of that. Why can’t i get a boyfriend????
