About Northstar
Expertise
I can answer questions about how to make a long distance relationship work, how to work through conflicts that may occur within a relationship (ie jealousy, trust issues, controlling behavior, insecurity). I also know how to work WITH parents and siblings in a positive way so that they respect a couple's boundaries, and don't try to chase significant others away. I can answer questions about sex (whether you are being sexually harrassed, or if you are trying to figure out if you are ready to have sex). I can also answer questions about abuse (whether it is emotional or physical) and provide solutions and ways to protect yourself. I can also answer questions about how to read body language, how to approach a crush and get to know someone better. I can help people navigate conflict between friends and significant others. I know how to fix dating mishaps (ie how to minimize an awkward moment and turn it around to YOUR advantage).
Experience
I had many different types of relationships when I was in high school, and I believe that going to college also helped me better understand the dynamics of dating. I have younger cousins that are in high school, and I frequently help them with their problems (and their friends' problems too!). When you are a teen, dating can be very confusing and tricky, I have the experience and know how to help people work through their problems in a positive way. I've dealt with just about every problem out there, from friends who gossip to over protective parents. I understand that when a problem arises, it can be devastating, and sometimes a person just needs someone to listen to what they are going through and provide some helpful words.
Education/Credentials
I recently graduated from college with a BA in History.

Question
Im 15 years old and i have never had a boyfriend, but there's a boy that i liked for a few monthes, and i was really pleased to find out that he felt the same way. He asked me out on my first date to the park with him which went Okay. He then asked me out again to the cinema, however my feelings seemed to have changed with him, conversation didn't flow and there were many awkard silences. But when i later spoke to him he didnt seem to feel the same way as i did, and was planning his next outing with me. Some of my friends said that im scared of having a 'real' boyfriend, and that im frigid about him getting close to me. Im not sure whether to discard him and tell him i dont like him 'in that way', or whether to give it one last go. please help!
Answer
First dates are often times awkward, especially if you don't have much experiencing dating. Go out with this young man again, he's clearly interested in you and he IS making an effort to show you a good time. Just have fun and relax and forget about what your friends say.
