Yes. Kissing doesn't mean you are going to have sex. Kissing is fun all on its own! If you are worried about feeling pressured, make sure you trust the person you are kissing. If he starts to do anything you are uncomfortable with, tell him you are not ready for that yet. It is always a good idea to play it safe. Don't go to a secluded place with a stranger and let others know where you are.

Let me start by saying, when you are ready have sex with someone you trust.

The fear of being naked often comes from a personal fear of "flaws." Often only you dwell on these "flaws." 17 is a hard age to accept your own body. It has gone through a lot of transitions and doesn't always seem familiar. My recommendation is to face your own body. If you aren't comfortable being 100% naked, stand in front of the mirror in your underwear. Get used to who you are. Look at the entire picture, not just the thighs you hate. Stop asking yourself where your six-pack abs are. Whatever flaws you often dwell on, stop talking about them. Acknowledge that you are beautiful. Discover what makes you sexy. Maybe you have cute butt, long legs, curvy hips, perky chest, smoldering eyes, or a sexy mouth. Take a look and see for yourself.

Men love women of every shape and size. Even some of the sexiest women in Hollywood have been told they should change: http://www.thefrisky.com/photos/10-super-sexy-celebs-who-were-told-to-slim-down/no-to-plastic-surgery-kate-winslet-jpg-2/ We are all glad they didn't listen.

When the time comes, remember confidence is sexy. A guy who wants to have sex with you, already finds you attractive. Once your clothes are off, he will be too excited to even notice anything other than how beautiful you are.

This is a great question. Loving yourself is so important in life. A great way to start is to make a list. 30 things you love about yourself. (Don't limit this to appearances. You are more than just a pretty face.) Our editors did this last year. 30 may seem like a lot, but I grantee you will be able to find 30. If you need inspiration check out our editors' lists here.

In addition, this list can be an opportunity to start a self improvement list. Thing you would love to learn how to do or do more often. There is always room to grow. Maybe you love your hair, and would love to learn more ways to braid it. Maybe you love to write and should do it more often. As you focus on all the positive, these negative comments will seem more and more trivial. When the right guy comes along, he will find your beautiful inside and out.

Then

Based on what you have said, I would say yes.

Wear your nose proudly. Only a shallow girl would dismiss you just because of your nose. In fact, many women find men with strong facial features to be attractive. Check out our gallery of hot guys with huge schnozes! http://www.thefrisky.com/photos/nerd-girl-porn-hot-guys-with-huge-schnozes/men-with-big-noses-jason-schwartzman-jpg/

Be confident with who you are. Acknowledged your favorite things about yourself. If it isn't your nose, maybe you are smart, athletic, funny, have great eyes, hair, or even a great laugh. The things that make you special will attract the right girl for you.

It is hard to say based on one comment. Go through this list and see if he does more than 10 of these regularly. http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-02-17/50-ways-to-tell-someone-you-like-them-without-just-telling-them/ If he does these things he is probably trying to tell you something without saying it.

Recognize that he didn't love you for who you are. See him for who he has proven himself to be, not who you thought he was. Keep hope alive and wait to find a guy who is cares for you, makes you feel beautiful, and is proud to call you his girlfriend. You deserve better than your ex.

People who are big flirts, flirt for fun. This means they often send mix messages. Some know they are doing this. Other are naive and don't realize that their actions may hurt others. Knowing that he is a big flirt who has stopped flirting with you, I would say move on. He doesn't seem interested anymore. Find someone who is interested in flirting with you and you alone.

Don't limit yourself by waiting for him. Be open to other guys and if someone sparks your interest go for it. He may never be ready for a relationship. No need to wait. When and if he is ever ready, he will have to see if you are interested.

Start with small talk. Ask him how his day went. Offer to give information about yours. Discuss thing you have in common. If you continue having trouble talking to him, consider he may not be a great match for you.

GOSLING!

Take a look at what you are fighting about. Both of you need to think before you speak. Think about what you are going say, and how this will be received by the other person. If you recognize this topic or phrase will start a fight, ask yourself if it is worth it. Pick your battles. Only argue about things you are passionate about.

In addition, learn to disagree. It is 100% OK to disagree. No one has to be right. You may both be right or have valid points. Respect each other's opinions and ideas. End the discussion rather than letting it escalate.

If you can't get over the fighting, this isn't a relationship you should stay in. The daily stress of fighting is unhealthy for both of you and maybe an indication that you simply don't have anything in common.

Do all three of these guys care about you the same way? Try to determine their feelings for you. Who wants a future with you? Consider what you are looking for in a relationship and which guy has the same vision.

Getting over a long-term relationship can be hard. Remind yourself why you broke up. Don't romanticize your old relationship or boyfriend. Recognize him for who he really was. A guy who treated you badly. Enjoy your new boyfriend and remind yourself why you are thankful for having him. If over time you don't feel a spark with the new guy, it could just be a bad fit. Just because he is nice, doesn't mean you love him. The goal is to find someone you love who loves and treats you well.

Move on. He not only cheated on you with a friend, you broke up. Even if you could get past the cheating, he is unavailable. There is nothing more for you to do here other than recognize he doesn't make a good boyfriend and you have no future. Enjoy being single for a while. Spend time with your friends. People who appreciate you. Keep an eye out for a new interest. A guy who cares about you and values your relationship.

You feel jealous. It is normal. Sometimes jealous feeling are not in our control. The good news is you have already shown restraint by not acting upon these emotions. You recognize that he hasn't done anything to betray you, and you do trust him. Remind yourself of this when you start to feel jealous. He may be curious about what his ex is up to, but he is dating you.

This is up to you. Are you ok with being friends or are your feelings getting in the way? Are you crossing the line between friendship and boyfriend/girlfriend when you interact? Sometimes it is difficult to transition into a friendship, putting some distance between the two of you is a great way to get past that. I suggest you accept that he is putting distance between the two of you and not stressing over it. He may not continue to be your closest friend, but he can be someone you are friendly with.

Go ahead and talk to him. The only thing holding you back is you. Start with "Hey, how is it going?" Create an opening so you can catch up on what he has been up to this year. Close the conversation by suggesting you hang out sometime or a simple "talk to you soon." Remember you were friendly before. There is no reason why anything would be different now.

Feel flattered. You understand he has a girlfriend and thus nothing can happen now. The girlfriend may not like that he looks at you, but there is nothing you can do about it. That is something he will have to work out with her.

Don't get in-between them. He has to find this out for himself. Be a friend, and support his decisions. If he get's hurt offer him a shoulder to cry on.
