I have a boyfriend who I thought liked me for me and likes to be with me because of my personality and looks, but I'm starting to get the feeling that he is taking advantage of me. What do I do?

You likely are suffering from self-esteem issues or are looking for validation from others. You need to love yourself. Others may or may not like you, but if you are "too nice" you will likely look back someday and think "those guys were just using me." And you'll be right. The sad reality of the world is that no one else is looking out for you. You have to take care of yourself. If you're feeling used, you have been and it's only going to get worse. Stand up for yourself. It's better to be alone and looking than stuck with someone who is just taking what they can get from you.
