advice
Ok so my boyfriend's birthday is May 17, and I had this idea for one of his gifts.
We have this inside joke, where we were talking this one time, and I said something dumb like, "You're 89 point 10 % nerd" or something like that, cause we were just joking around. :-P
So I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous, but we think it's funny and say it all the time. So for one of his gifts, I thought I'd get 89 hershey kisses to symbolize 89 kisses (obviously haha). But I'm stuck on what I should do to complete the whole "..point 10" thing.
So any ideas? It's random, I know, but I'll take any ideas into consideration. :]
you should give him 89 Nerds, and then 10 kisses.
tell him you didn't know what to do with the other .10 percent, so you decided to give him some hersheys kisses. and that the ".10" part was kind of last minute, so, for lack of a better present, he can exchange them for real ones if he'd like... ;)
haha...just kidding, but maybe if you want. haha.
good luck! this should be a funny/cute gift =P
i need song feel-good, sing-to-in-the-car, fun songs for a summer playlist. they don't have to be recent songs, nor do they have to be any certain genre (although i don't think many hardcore or metal songs can be classified as "feel good" or "fun", haha). i'll provide some examples that already made the list:
- "all i wanna do (is have some fun)" by sheryl crow
- "big yellow taxi" by counting crows
- "pocketful of sunshine" by natasha bedingfield
- "four minutes" by madonna ft. justin timberlake
- "boys of summer" version by the ataris
so yeah, you catch my drift. help me out (:
Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt - We are scientists
i'd rather dance with you - kings of convenience
island in the sun - weezer
dancing shoes - arctic monkeys
i bet that you'd look good on the dance floor - arctic monkeys
scar tissue (or basically anything by them) - red hot chili peppers
beverly hills - weezer
fell in love with a girl/7 nation army - the white stripes
rock and roll queen - the subways
steal my kisses - ben harper
those are sonme pretty sweet songs to jam out to. there are a tonnn more out there...the chili peppers are really good, as are the dave matthews band..there are lots of good songs out there to sing along to!
hope this list helped somewhat. =D
I love going to concerts and I'm looking for advice on who to see. What bands/artists are just phenomenal live? I'd prefer that if you answer, you have actually seen them live, but testimonials from others are fine. I like pretty much any type of music. Thanks!
22/f/US
I've heard the Dave Matthews Band is amaaaaazing live...I really want to go see them! If you're up for something different, and kind of insane, Gogol Bordello is pretty crazy live (you can look em up - they're pretty interesting =P)
ok so i think i'm gonna have my first kiss this week and i am soooooo scared so PLEASE help me. seriously PLEASE. i like him alot and i really don't want to mess anything up!!! PLEASE!!!! i just need some good tips so i can relax a little bit. thanks, please help me.
alright. I know this situation most likely already happened (since I'm a little late on the advice-giving, haha) and I hope it went over well.
But for future reference ---
chiiiiiiiiilll.
=P =D
I had my first kiss a few weeks ago, actually....and I had almost forgotten my crazy desire to kiss someone, and then BAM! ok, so it was a LITTLE more subtle than 'bam'...but, either way, it was really nice and worked out just perfectly. short and sweet, i suppose, and of course it was slightly awkward - what first kiss isn't? - but, i can easily say it was a night i won't soon forget =).
in other words, just don't worry about it. ahh this is soo cliche...but, it's really true. I wasn't expecting it, and that's what made it all the more beautiful. otherwise i would have probably had a panic attack or something =P
good luck
i have really fallen for my best friend. i really like him , and i try not to but like i don't know he says he likes me too.. but the thing is; nothing commitment wise is happening, so what should i do if i want him to make a commitment?
hey, if it's not natural to be "committed" and if it's something that's difficult/stressful to manage...then why not just ...well, not be so committed? although it would be fun, it can also be nice to just have a more chill, laid-back relationship. that would most definitely be less stressful, in my eyes, and you'd have a lower risk of being awkward around eachother.
=) hope i helped!

this guy wants to ask me out and i want to say yes
but i know especially with his past girlfriends (by the way ive never had a bf B4) he likes to hold them and kiss them and everything. but i hate public displays of affection, any kind. how would i tell him, and if i did what if he doesnt listen? and questions something like
"want you dont want people to know were together"
like i guess i dont wanna make it up front in front of people, just for people to find out about it slowly so they dont relaly care and make it a big deal. know what i mean?
oh, WOW...this is the exact thing that I'm trying to figure out right now! haha, even in terms of him always having been all over his ex girlfriend and everything.
Weeell...I'd say, if he tries anything on you that you don't feel comfortable with, don't let him do it. You definitely deserve to have some control over this aspect of the relationships (and all others, of course), and it would appear that it does take two to 'PDA'. Haha
But, I'm exactly the same way, in the sense that...I wasn't trying to keep the relationship a secret or anything, but it's just awkward to bring up, you know? And I'm not usually the type to talk about those things. Although my friends were skeptical and/or upset/annoyed when they heard from other people that I was going out with him....
...but anyway, sorry I got sidetracked, haha. Just remember that you have a say in what goes on, and you can talk to him about it sometime when it's not the heat of the moment. He may be more likely to listen to you then...and if he doesn't let you have a say, or if he gets frustrated, he's not the guy for you.
And I've learned this, too - don't let your friends' annoyance (because maybe they're not used to it, if it's anything like my case) get in the way of a normal, healthy relationship. Just keep things low-key if you want...since it's just high school, (and we're the same age) it's nothing too serious at this point.
Good luck. And remember to be confident, and speak up if need-be! :>)
im currently sophomore and this is my grades
freshman year:
A C B C B B sememster 1
A A C C C B sememster 2
sophomore year:
D B C B A C semester 1
now in semester 2 im failing geometry do i still have a chance to bring my grades up for college? i want to be a veterinarian when i grow up or anything that involves animals do i have any chance?
Of course you have a chance, don't stress too much. Planning your life around 'what colleges will like' will likely make you less apt to seem sincere in your applications, etc.
Just live your life the way you want to live it, and get as involved in things in and out of school as possible. Crazy as it sounds, the admission people at colleges can usually tell if you've really been INVOLVED in things, rather than just writing them down, listing every possible activity you can get away with saying that you did.
But anyhow, sorry about that tangent - (no geometry-pun intended) - but I'm not exactly sure on the requirements for veterinary school, or courses. But I do know that just because you made a few mistakes in your first couple years of high school, that doesn't mean much. My brother got into the number one liberal-arts college in the world, and he got a couple of C's and D's throughout high school.
As long as you set goals for yourself and don't put off schoolwork TOO much, you should be all set. But, remember that the most important thing is to be well-rounded -- this means getting involved in the things your passionate about, as well as keeping a focus on schoolwork and such.
Hope this helped a bit! =)

i like movies like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and little miss sunshine and the garden state. doe anyone have any recommendations of movies like these for me? i also like the science of sleep and thanks you for smoking.
You might like Into the Wild, Pan's Labyrinth, In Bruges, Atonement....
Well, everyone's already named a bunch.
Hope this helped!
Im 14 years old and a female. theres this boy and he likes me a lot and wants to date me. i kind of have been leading him on and i likED him a lot. so basically i dont like him as any more than a friend any more, how should i tell him? is texting him okay?
Oh wow, the same situation happened to me. But this isn't about me. It's about you! :)
And if i were you, I'd probably IM him or something, text messaging is fine too, because despite what a lot of people say, doing this in person or especially on the phone can be quite awkward!!! And you don't want him to feel any unnecessary embarassment either. So just try to bring it up kindly, by saying "hey, can i talk to you for a sec?" and then just tell him that it's been a little awkward for the past few days/weeks/etc. ...much more than it used to be. and that you like how it used to be, but be easy - don't tell him straight out that you don't like him at all. I mean, of course don't leave him with the impression that you might change your mind soon, or that maybe someday you can go out.
Basically just make sure you're both on the same page.
Good luck.
soooo how long should you wait after a guy asks for your number to give up on him ever calling you?
It shouldn't be something you should "give up on", as it's nothing you're even in control of. Just don't think about it...that way, if he doesn't call, you won't have to make any kind of big deal out of it, but if he does, it will be a nice pleasant surprise.
He asked for your number, so at least you know he's interested in you. Just be laid back about it. That's probably what he's doing. Go live your life! Have fun. Don't worry. Be happy. :]
So i have this guy friend and two days ago he asked me if i wanted to hang out after school. I thought he meant with him and some friends so i said sure but it turned out he just meant me and him. i didn't think too much about it at the time because we were good friends. so we went to the movies and he insisted on paying even though i offered to pay for myself. afterwards though i started thinking about it and got confused. it was the first time we hung out out of school alone. does it sound like he is interested in me as more than a friend and he meant ''hang out'' as "go out"?
Okay! Wow. This exact same situation..I mean EXACT same....happened to me!
I think he's thinking of it as a date. If you're not interested in him like that, tell him as soon as possible. In my case, I reeeeally couldn't see this boy as more than a friend, but he definitely thought we were "going out" after that. (he grabbed my hand at the movie, and Ive never held hands with anyone - it was quite awkward from the start!). He might think he's being clearer about this than he actually is. In my situation, I ended up waiting a few days to tell him, because I didnt know what to say. I admit it was awkward after I told him that it was a misunderstanding (of course it would be) but it was even more awkward during those few days when he thought we were dating.
But enough about the negative possibilities...If you think you might like him try hanging out again! Maybe with some friends this time, so that it's not a set "date", and you'll have friends there as a back up, just incase something becomes awkward.
Anyway, good luck! :)
i'm looking for a job to pay for senior year expenses, and i was thinking about coldstone creamery. it sounds fun, and i love people, and can sing well. i heard that to apply, you have to, in a way, "try out"? and another thing, i have basically no arm strength, and as weird as it sounds, would that impact it in any way (since i'd be scooping out ice cream)? any help is appreciated (:
Hey, my best friend who lives in Maryland works at Coldstone. Her mom decorates cake there, she and her older brother scoop ice-cream. Their family is always talking about how awesome it is - the people that work there are really fun to be around, and even though there's singing involved, I wouldn't worry - that's the most fun part! Even though soem people may not have the best voices. But that's makes it even funnier!
Oh, and my friend (16 yrs old) isn't extremely strong or anything, so I don't think you have to worry about that. She told me once that you get used to it after awhile and it's a great workout too! :-P
Anyway, have fun! Good luck. :)

My best guy friend who I've known for three years is suddenly not talking to me.
he won't look at me or even talk to me. In the hallways when we walk near each other he'll look the other way and pretend like I was never there. It never use to be like this he's not those type of boys either he's really respectfull and diffrent I'd had to really screw him over for him to be doing this but that's just it ! I haven't done anything to upset him the last time we talked was on tuesday he said hi to me like we always do and then wednesday he started avoiding me and its been like this ever since I'm really confused I don't want to loose a good friend .
Hey, who knows? Maybe his feelings for you are changing...if you know what I mean. Perhaps he just doesn't know how to go about telling you, if that's the case, and suddenly feels shy or un-worthy of your attention. It's happened to me before...just an idea.
If you don't think that's the case though, I'd ask him what's on his mind. And you can do just that : "Hey, what's on your mind?"
I do it to my friends all the time...it catches them off guard sometimes though, so don't expect him to answer you right away, or say what you're expecting to hear.
Anyway, hope all goes well - and good luck!
for the past 5 days i've been having an awful toothache (or mouthache) that seems to come and go. they come for about 15 minutes and then they come back very unexpectedly. i went to the dentist and he took xrays and filled a cavity and also cleaned my gums, hoping that would solve the problem. he noticed nothing else that could be solving this problem. even after seeing him, i'm in the same amount of pain. i can't pinpoint a certain tooth, it seems like just the whole left side of my mouth. it throbs and is just a very very strong pain, like nothing i've ever felt before. advil doesn't help. if anyone has had a problem like this or knows someone who has, please help! i'm desperate! thanks!
Wow, how ironic- I just had (and am still having) a problem exactly like yours! Even the left side and everything, haha :-D
Anyway, My dentist told me it's because I've been grinding or clenching my teeth, out of stress or whatever...during my sleep especially. If I were you, and if the pain's still continuing after 5 days, I'd reccommend asking the dentist to fit a nightguard for you. I just tried mine for the first time last night - the first night it's hard to bare with and a bit annoying. hopefully it'll go better tonight. Anyway, it's like a mouthguard that you wear only at night, and it supposedly really helps a lot. It should also reduce the headaches you get from grinding your teeth. Also, you might be brushing your gums too hard. (That's what they said)
hope this helped! it's funny that someone is in the exact same situation - had you asked a day earlier i'd have had no idea what to do :-P

Ok, so there is this girl I like and she is basically a year older than me.. But we're both sophmores. I like her alot, but we basically "travel in different circles". But we have known each other for about three months now, and we just started talking like a week or so ago. But we've had the same conversation going for the past week.
The bad thing though is, that she is SO freakin gorgeous and im a nerd that has no chance with her, even though we have SOO much in common. She is basically the girl version of me.
Any ideas on how I can get her to like me?
Woah, I guess there is someone like me out there!
but in my case, I like a guy who's 2 years older...who's pretty shy/reserved and nerdy, too. But just because he's "nerdy" doesn't mean anything. I don't know if he's got ALL the girls after him, but he seems way cool to me, and we have so much in common. I think the fact that he's smart, a little quiet, and has a lot of unique interests is something to be admired! The thing is, I really like him, and I don't think he even thinks of me as anything more than an acquaintence (we haven't even talked in person since I was in 3rd grade - I used to like him, but then we hadnt seen eachother in 6 years and now it's very awkward to see him! So we've only talked online - grr...) My point is: she might really like you, too, if you've been talking, and just because you see yourself as "nerdy" doesn't necessarily have to mean it's a bad thing - I love nerds! Many girls will respect and be attracted to a guy who's smart and nice. Anyway, I'd work up the courage to talk to her more, not about anything too life-changing, serious or dramatic...just keep with small talk at first, and then you can delve into a more personal discussion after you've hung out a few times and gotten to know eachother.
I really hope this advice worked, because it's kind of the advice I need for myself at this point too! Haha....good luck. :)
What are some ways that you REALLY know your in love? From your personal point of veiw.. what are some ways you just know your in love?
I can honestly say that I have never been IN love, although I love many people...
However, this is what I've concluded.
The closer I have felt to someone, the less "obsessive" I have been with them. The first stage of love, which is nothing by itself, is mere infatuation. Infatuation is when you basically feel like your significant other is your entire life, you would do anything for them, you would die without them, you can't seem to get through the day without constantly being distracted and thinking of them...and such.
The second part of love seems to me, believe it or not, your independence and self-confidence. In the infatuation stage, it seems your entire life is based upon/relies upon your love interest. When you are confident and secure about yourself, it will make it a whole lot easier to be in love. I believe this is a necessary ingredient, because by putting your significant other up on a pedistal (sp?), it seems almost impossible to make sensible decisions and do what both of you feel is right.
It seems to me that a truly love-worthy relationship finds a happy medium, or a balance, between these two stages. The second stage seems to come to most people much later on in life, as they mature and realize that love isn't JUST about the other person - it's a two-sided emotion.
Thanks...although I don't feel I've been in love yet myself, I hope you understand my point of view, or at least what I've concluded thus far in my life. Best wishes. :)
okay so supposidly one of my friends is planning on asking me to homecoming...the thing is im not sure i wanna go with him. i honestly want to go with one of my friends, but he's not the type of friend i wanna go with, i wanna go with the type i can have fun with and goof around with. He's just a nice..kinda mellow type. I mean he does dance and whatnot..but idk i dont really want to. so i kinda wanna say no, but i kinda dont becuase hes my friend and our parents are good friends, they were friends before we were. He is kinda short and small and im taller and but im not small and skinny like he is, but im also not fat.
So should i say yes? and if i say no, how do i say it?
also, im looking for homecoming dresses. no higher than $75...harsh budget i know! i dont really want one to the floor. so if anyone knows of any good places that would be great, i dont wanna end up with a dress someone else has, oh and i live in the houston area.
thanks so much!!
Well, first off, you'd probably be surprised how fun this guy can be..being mellow is being cool, in my opinion, so this guy is cool..you know, in the "relaxed, chill" sense of the word.
However, if you make it a good time, he could just change that. ;)
Once the night of fun & dancing has begun, he might completely go crazy and just be really a fun guy. Don't go too crazy, but just have fun and I'm sure he'd be a fun date. Go with a big group. Besides, you don't have to stay with your date the whole time....barely anyone ever does, at my school, unless they're going out or something.
As for his appearance -- I can see why you might take that into consideration, but really, no one will think any less of you if you go with him because he's small. I mean....really, people will probably respect you for not caring.
On the dress front -- I bought a $35 dress @ Macy's.....then I saw a reeeally pretty dress at the thrift shop/goodwill, for ten bucks, and went with that one....you never know what you'll find on clearance racks, and if you get it at a thrift/goodwill store, chances are no one else will have it. ;)
Hope this was helpful, and have fun at the dance! :>)
i am going into freshman year in 3 days and i little worried. i had this group of non popular friends that i hung out with in 8th grade and i was a little popular then. they didnt like the same stuff as me like shopping boys and make up i mean they did but not as much i started hanging out with this other girl in the summer ALOT and she is like my bff to me but i dont know if she feels the same way and when i go back to 9th grade i wanna hang with her alot but i am afraid her friends wont talk to me
Hey! No worries.
High school is so much different than Jr. High. I'm not saying things will change overnight from 8th grade to freshman year, but as people get older they'll definitely become more mature, despite the common belief that "your class will never mature, and this person will never mature"...while there are select people who don't mature very much at all, overall your grade and your friends will see that cliques, gossip, etc. is dumb.
Also, don't worry about who you're gonna hang out with too much, because in high school, as opposed to Jr. High, you'll be in leveled classes, and will probably only hang out with the people in your classes (honors kids, if youre in honors...etc.). But you can still hang out with your other friends sometimes. Ive found that you have to worry less about your social life anyway, just because of the workload/extracurriculars. Just don't worry, be friendly to everyone and be a person everyone likes.
In other words, don't give anyone a reason to dislike you. You'll be all set!

is it possible to put a cup to the wall and press your ear against it and hear what people are saying next door? like in a hotel and stuff?
like what kind of cup
Hey! Haha I laughed reading this, because I've tried to do it before (recently) and it didn't really work...but we had fun anyway. It was on a school trip and we were trying to listen to the chaperones in the hallway talking in the middle of the night. It was awesome - we used regular hotel glasses (iono what kind, sry) and it didn't really work unless you put it right up to the crack in the door and put the open side up to the door.
Have fun! :>)

I am 15 and am male. I look like i'm 13 and I want to look older. I have a fit body but my face and hair make me look younger how do I look older.
Oh gosh, my brother looked like he was 12 until he was about 15, now he's 17 and people think he's in college.
My point is, if you can't find a way to make yourself look older, don't worry too much about it -- the summer before freshman/sophmore year (in that area somewhere) is usually when guys change the most. In terms of looks and maturity. So, don't wory about it. My brother also never could talk to girls and now he's the coolest one in his grade (I think anyway, because he's really cool and into philosophy and stuff so everyone just seems to like him, haha). In otherwords, just try to find yourself in the next couple years and you'll look older soon enough...cause most of the time changing your clothes or hair won't do the trick.
However it is helpful to make you look older, so you could try a different clothing style? Who knows, really. It depends on what you're like and what your personality is.
I'm sure you'll find that you're gonna look older before you know it.
Hope I helped!
