Sally, 17, Aus

I keep having one night stands instead of dates. The guys I meet are at parties and I’ll get sucked into sleeping with them instead of saying no.

I find it really hard to say no in these situations..one thing always seems to lead to another. I don't sleep around but it's an issue I’m trying to deal with.

I'm told by a very close friend that I get drunk and let things like this happen because I don't love myself enough, and that combined with alcohol makes me do things for attention and affection of others.

I honestly think I'm an attractive girl but just find it hard to meet someone when a majority of people in my age group are not looking for a relationship.

I met this cute guy the other weekend and I remember telling him that I really wanted to see him again and he said he’d call… he was affectionate and said all the right things but I doubt he will want to take things further because he probably thinks I'm easy.

Help?
