How do i convince my parents to let me move in with my friend?
Christina, you do have options, but you need to make sure you've covered the basics. You sound mature, so hopefully what I'm saying will get through! If your friend's parents will let you stay with them, has this been discussed in detail? It's great that they said this, but what about the finances? Who will pay for your food, school supplies, books, medical care, phone, etc? Are you close to your friend's mom? I'm asking because if she is serious about this, I think your best course of action is to bring it to a head BEFORE your parents move away. If they want out of town, they're going to be easier to persuade because they won't want to rock the boat. An investigation by CPS is the last thing they want right now and you can use this as a weapon. But talk to the friend's mom and see if she's willing to help you in this. You do have to know if their comment was just a casual type "sure you can stay" vs a more permanent arrangement. Then you, along with her parents, need to tell your parents that CPS will be called in if they don't agree, and also provide some kind of financial help, at least until you're 16 and can get some kind of job.. Please don't run away, however. You need to have somewhere to go, because you WILL get caught, and then you'll lose any say in what happens to you. So if your friend's parents aren't prepared for taking you on for an extended period of time, then don't panic. Try to think of someone else. But you need to be talking to adults you trust.
How do I convince my friends I don't like this guy!!!!!!?
You told them pretty clearly and honestly how you felt, what more can you do? If it's bothering you that they keep asking you about this, just tell them "hey, you're the ones that keep bringing this up, it seems pretty obvious that he's on you're mind and you're a hell of a lot more interested in him then I am...so do you like him?" You can turn it right on them like that.
How do I convince my friends that I am not gay?!?!?
For some odd reason, my friends are convinced I am gay. I have a girlfriend and have never made any comment or action to show that I like men. I am as straight as possible and I dont see why my friends are convinced I am "in the closet." They could just be joking with me but I dont know. Is there any surefire way that does not involve anything sexual to prove I am straight?
How can I convince my friend that she is not stupid?
It sounds like your friend is in a place of really negative self-talk. Unfortunately, when someone is in that place, the “no you’re not!” dance can, in an odd way, reinforce their negativity. If she truly believes that she’s stupid, contradicting her when she says so may be making her feel like she has to double down on proving it to you, or like you’re just being nice.What you can do, though, is refuse to let her put herself down in front of you. When she starts talking about herself negatively, gently say to her, “Hey, I don’t let people talk about my friends that way. I love you and I think you’re wonderful/talented at
How do I convince my friends that I'm not anorexic?
Think of the situation in your friend’s shoes. They’re really worried about your eating habits, but you keep pushing them away, telling them that you’re not hungry, when they barely know how much you eat. Don’t you think it worries them? Your friends aren’t your enemies. They’re concerned about your well-being, and your daily intake.Talk to them, and explain why you skip lunch. Clearly explain to them what’s going on, and they’ll stop pestering you. They want you to eat because they care. It shows that they’re good friends, because A, they’re forcing you to get the proper nutrition you need, and B, you shouldn’t disregard that fact. Explain to your friends that you’d like to watch what you eat, and that you only occasionally skip lunch because of a certain reason. Contrary to the other answer, finding new friends isn’t easy, and it’s pretty obvious that the friends you have care about you. I would advise you to be thankful that they care about you, and address your concerns with them as soon as possible.There’s a reason they want you to eat. Maybe it’s because they’ve seen a loved pass away due to anorexia or a similar eating disorder. They probably don’t want that to happen to you. Think about that.So my final advice for you would be to talk to your friends about your eating habits, and give them the real reason behind it. If you do, they’ll support your decision, stop bothering you, and they won’t think you’re Anorexic if you skip 1 MEAL. If you continuously skip a meal or starve yourself, it will raise suspicions.Good luck, and try to open up to your friends. They obviously care about you.For your decreased appetite, I would advise you to talk to your doctor. The fact that you don’t feel like eating is a concern, and you should discuss this with your physician.Hope this helps!-Priyanka
How can you convince your girlfriend that you aren't cheating on her and the girl you're texting is just a friend?
If it’s a fairly new relationship, out of respect for women I have dated in the past, I have made it explicitly clear to other women friends when I start dating. It usually along the lines of I want to respect you and I want to respect her so I am going to take a step back from communicating with you as much. People seem to be pretty cool with that.Once a solid foundation has been built then I try to introduce my s/o to my friends and allow them to see that things are strictly platonic between me and said person.If my s/o has a problem with that then there is a problem with them if I have given them no reason to believe otherwise. Maybe past baggage where someone has harmed them or done the wrong and that’s a long road ahead winning that battle. It takes time to win someone’s trust, to allow them to have faith that you won’t hurt them.May the end you can’t convince someone of something they don’t want to believe. You can take a horse to water my friend but you can make it drink.
How do I convince people that he's just a friend?
I know exactly what you mean. But if you keep trying to push the fact that you are not dating him, to everyone else he may start to feel like you find him disgusting, although that may not be the case. Family especially will do this, although they know that you aren't dating each other, if they know that it bothers you . It's crazy. But the best thing that you can do is say that this is my brother from another mother, and we're super close, but we aren't dating. Tell them that they need to find something better to do with their time, and that their being so persistant about analyzing your relationship with the brother that you got to pick proves that they have no life of their own. Tell them that you'll start paying super close attention to their lives and their friends so you can return the favor if they do not cease and desist the childish behavior. Good luck.
How can I convince my best friend that I love him and want to marry him?
A2A He doesn't love you, he doesn't want to marry you. He doesn't even like you as more than a friend. Keep refusing to accept this and he will probably stop being your friend. When he gets a girlfriend, she won't be OK with another girl chasing her man. He will eventually marry someone else. But you'll have to see him dating other girls, and yet you'll waste your time pining away and miss out on some great guys.I want you to think of a guy you know or you might be friends with who you aren't attracted to at all. Picture him. Now imagine you spending more time with him, and suddently he tells you he loves you and wants to marry you and he won't take no for an answer. How do you feel about him? Annoyed? Angry? Disgusted? What can this guy do to win you over? Nothing. His feelings don't change yours.What do you do? Take some time away from him if you need to. See other guys. Go on dates. Flirt. Above all, accept that he doesn't want you, and find a guy who does. Or you're going to lose him and your chance at meeting a great guy.
How do I convince my parents I'm not gay?
eh, if they are so convinced you are- not much you can do. Until they walk in on you having sex with the opposite gender or see grandchildren come into the picture from a heterosexual relationship they might continue to assume such things.I had a friend who had that issue. He didn’t really date a lot in high school or college. It just wasn’t a priority for him. Also he was a bit of a health nut and always went to the gym. So his parents just assumed he might be gay, and on multiple occasions told him they still love and support him, even if he was gay. Even after he told them he loved boobs, found chicks hot, he just wasn't seeking any relationships.It wasn't until after he joined the military, met his wife, and had a baby did they stop assuming such things.
