First of all, highlight your paper. Then, on the top of the screen, where the buttons that say "file" and "edit", click the one that says "format", scroll down and click "Paragraph". look for the bar at the top of the screen that popped up that reads "spacing". Then, click on it. Look for the bar with the arrow that says "Line spacing" click on it, and click on "double" Then hit, "okay" and your paper will have lines inbetween it.


i have liked this guy for a while, and i think he likes me, but i dont know. i asked this question before, and the answers i got were just another lot of questions, so im putting all the answers to the questions, and from that, i hope you all can tell me if he likes me. (Btw, he kinda flirts with me in class, but he told me once he liked this girl that he went out with last year, but he still likes her, and almost alwayz walks her to class every other day.)

1. Is he always trying to talk to you? yea
2. Does he smile a lot when he talks to you? yea
3. Is he shy and afraid to look you in the eye? When we talk to each other, its not like he's shy, but looking me straight in the eye and its almost like he's daring me to look away
4. Does he always offer help? no
5. Does he sit next to you? he has to during class, but idk if he would if he didnt have 2
6. Does he walk w/ you after class? no, he walks with this girl that he told me he likes
7. Has he made an attempt to hang out after class? sometimes we listen to my ipod after class if that counts
8. Has he gotten your Screen name or telephone number? both

ill rate high 4 good answers...thxx (link)
It seems to me that y'all are just good friends. That doesn't mean that y'all couldn't have a relationship, but for now y'all are just friends. He confided in you who he liked, and you see him acting on it, so he probably likes her. Still talk to him though, because you never know what would happen. Also, try to hint that you like him, and maybe he'll start to get it. (It'll take a while, guys suck at taking hints)


My friend just broke up with her boyfriend, and he happens to be one of my really good friends. For the past couple of weeks shes been treating him like dirt and she even told him that she had him rapped around her finger! I thought that was really mean of her. Anyways, they broke up today and now he is sooo sad. He loved her so much and I don't know what to say to him. He's so upset. What do I tell him? I keep telling him it's not his fault but he's just like ugh =(. (link)
There's nothing you can do really, but tell your guy friend you are here for him. It's a breakup, and he will have to get over it. Your other friend on the other hand is a bitch, and you should put her in her place.


okay i know you are all thinking ' oh another stupid love question' but i really like this kid and i want him to like me =/ . his name is Joe and he is on my bus.. well he is really hott and nice but he is also kind of shy. i sat next to him a few times and my friend said he stared at me half the time! once i was like talking with my hands and he like wanted to grab my hand but he like didnt.. it was really odd hah. and he like falls asleep on the bus like leaning on me.. so i just am wondering what i can do to like make a move or hint to him i like him .. and what are these signals hes giving me? i really dont want to screw this relationship up and i havent had a b/f for like 5 months so i really want to go out with Joe.. please help! thanks (link)
Well, he's flirting with you obviously...but then again friends do that. If he likes you, you will know, he will be a lot more touchy feely, and close to you.


well i was wondering is there a way to get rid of under eye bags if you know what i mean?? (link)
get rest, and you can put base under your eyes in the morning to hide them.


when i was in 6 grade i went to a skool called AG...and then in 7 grade i switched skools....its hard for me but ive made a few friends...but friends arent the problem....in 6 grade i played violin for the AG orchestra...and at my new skool im on the orchestra also...but at AG i had a lot of friends in the orchestra and there was a bout 30 people in the class... but at my new skool...the orchestra only has 12 people and guess what...theyre geeks....its making me not like playing the violin because the class is full of geeks and its making me feel like a geek...but i wanna keep playing violin...what do i do

signed,
~confused girl~

ps....please help me...i dont know what to do...im begging you...i need your help (link)
if you like it, do it. No one said you have to be those peoples friends, so if you don't want to be, then don't. If you truley like playing the violin, don't let the people stop you. Your real friends will understand.


I have a problem, i have a huge crush on this one boy that I've known for a long time. He always flirts with me and tells me his secrets, but im afraid that I'm going to be the best friend. What are some things i could do to be more than a friend. I'm also araid that he is just a big flirt. Does anyone know how you can tell if he may be one?

Sorry if you think im pathetic.

If your not a smartass to me i might be nice. Or if your a smartass and you made me laugh i might be nice and rate you.

That's it.

Thank You. (link)
Okay, well, if you are his best friend, there is nothing you can really do to change it around. Be glad he confided in you, but if you want to try to change it, you have to tell him how you feel, NOW. I say now because, if you don't do it, he might not even think about developing feelings for you, if that made sense. Good luck, and is this Maddie?


I liked this one guy, weston. i thought he was a total sweetie and he always made me feel good about myself. he said he liked me too, but then i was over with him and some friends and i hugged my friend goodbye and he called me a whore but according to his friends hes just mad and still totally likes me. the thing is, im not big on forgiving people after they've just called me a whore so, yea. i still like him a little. then, there's this other guy, chris and he is also totally sweet and cute and i absolutley heart him. he made me feel a little better about the whole weston situation and he says he's starting to like me. well, i liked him a lot a little while ago but i never thought he would ever like me. so i also like him a little bit. so basically, my question is should i forget about weston and become closer to chris and who knows what might follow, since he DID call me a whore. or should i just wait til weston gets over his issue with me hugging other guys? im the kinda girl that just hugs all of her friends, ya know? so should i change who i am for weston or stay how i am and go for chris? (link)
Screw Weston, go for Chris. Hugging you're friends doesn't make you a whore, and he's just stupid.


Ok so when im going to have my period, im scared that people will know that im changing my pads.. is there anyway on how to silence things up? it gets really embarassing for me cause im a tomboy... (link)
Just go really slow, or unroll the toilet paper as you're doing it, because other noise will distract people. Usually people don't notice though. Hope it all works out.


what exactly is a condom ,where do u put it, do girls where them, and what do they do? is there a certain age to buy them? (link)
Oh wow. A condom is for a guy's dick for when you have sex. A condom is a (usually) latex covor that fits over a guy's dick. Girls don't wear them. You have to look old enough to buy them, but there isn't a certain age limit, as long as you don't look 12, but you will get funny looks.


i just got my period and i was wondering what kind of tampons are best

Tampax Pearl


My boyfriend and I have been dating for a short amount of two weeks, and only two weeks. Last time I saw him he tried to touch my chest as we were kissing and I pulled his hand away and I got extemely uncomfortable around him that night. He knew I was too. Here I am a week later and he tried to do the same thing again tonight. I let him for a second then just stopped kissing him and got very quiet after that and just continued to watch the movie. We kind of have this joke about how I don't like my stomach so he was laughing about it and he kind of pulled my shirt up just so you could see my stomach just a little bit. So I pulled my shirt back down, but he put his hand under it. I laughed cause he was tickleing me too, but then he moved his hand up. I pulled his hand out right away and luckily my mom came to pick me up after that happened.
I live off the moto- "forgive and forget" I'm forgiving him, but it makes me feel really degrated and small that he'd try that two weeks into this realationship. He's really sorry and he knows it made me uncomfortable, but I don't know how to act now. I want to show him it's alright, but I don't want him trying again... what do I do? Should I feel uncomfortable? (link)
You were completely right in this situation. You guys have only been going out for 2 weeks. Tell him next time he tries, that that's a little fast for you, and you just enjoy kissing him. If he tries still, pull his hand down/off and he'll get the message you mean no. Also, if he continues, don't kiss him. Hope it all works out.


does anyone know how to make this site a home page? you know, so that each time i open up the interent, it will automatically go to this site right away? thanks!!
~*jaimee*~ (link)
Open your internet explorer, on the top next to "file" and "edit", there is one that says "tools", click on that, and scroll to internet options. Click on that. Then, it will have tabs, click oin the one that reads "general and under it will be text that says "home page". Then there is a bar where you can type in your home page. Type in Advicenators.com, and then "ok" or "apply" (which ever is at the bottom after you change it) Then, x-out of internet explorer, and click back on, and you should have your home page reset.


my friend hooked up with this guy for the first time yesterday...he walked out of the room laughing 5 minutes after they went in and she locked herself in the bathroom...according to the guy...she didnt know how to french so he left her...is there anything i can tell her to make her feel better or any pointes i can give her...ive tried everything, but shes still devistated and i would like to know if theres anything else i can do....thanks!!! (link)
Kill the guy because he's an asshole, then tell your friend that it's okay, everyone has a hard first time.


ok so i have a boyfriend that i've been with for about 6 months now. im 16, my boyfriend is turning 19 in september And about four months into the relationship, i got raped by his older brother and now his family is blaming me and telling ppl it wasnt raped so now im questioning myself if it was rape or not. and then the cops got involved because my boyfriend called the cops since i told him what happened when i slept over. so when the cops were investigating, they found out that me and my boyfriend have been having sex as well. so now me & andrew arent even allowed to see each other legally and im just wondering if i should stay with him after all this happening, we want to have kids in the future and he even asked me to marry him...is this a good idea? (link)
First of all, the marrying him thing, that's wierd. I think you should stay with him, forget his family. Rape is never your fault. If someone forced you to have sex with them, and he shoved his dick into you, that is not your fault. If it was consentual, then yes you are half at fault. I think that you should stay with him, if he wants to be with you and vis-a-vis. It'll all work out when you turn 18. Stear clear of his family though, because if you want to see him, and he wants to see you, the law can't arrest him or anything, even if someone does call the cops (his family)


Ok, so i went camping with my boyfriend this weekend and we had an amazing time. When we got back, i had made plans with my friends to hang out with them on monday night. Well he got home from a really bad day of work and called me and i only had like 3 minutes to talk to him so i asked him how his day was and shared mine, then i told him i had to go. He acted kind of mad and i was just like whatever, we've hung out every day this summer and all weekend. So i went and hung out with my friends and when i got home he was really mad at me and told me that i blew him off. He said that he really needed me when he got home from work and that i shoudl ahve made time to talk to him because he was having a miserable day. The thing was i didn't realize he needed me so bad. We are all made up now and stuff cause we talked about it and got over it. Am i at fault here?


16/f with 19/m b/f of 9 1/2 months (link)
Your not at fault because who knew that he was having a bad day, unless he told you that, then you are.


i have the hicups what should i do to get rid of them please help i really really need it and i need it bad because i have them for like fifteen hours (link)
have someone stare you in the eye with a serious face for a LONG time. Don't blink or anything. A few will come, but then they will fade away.


sometimes i seriously just cant sleep...is it bad for an almost 15 yr old to use sleeping pills?
any suggestions on what type (if its not bad)? (link)
It's not bad, as long as you use them responsibly. I suggest tylonel p.m.


my mom is always saying im ugly. last sunday for church, i let my hair dry into natural curl/waves and she said it was ugly and i should brush it (badddd idea) and wear some makeup because my face looked "bad". i didnt wear earrings & she always says i look bad when i dont wear them. when i do wear makeup for other occasions she says i look like a prostitute. i dont know what to do anymore! i cant always be best dressed and miss cheerful like she was when she was my age. shes always telling me how thin she was and how everyone liked her figure just to rub it in my face that i have no womanly shape. my dad says i look ok because he sees what it does to my self esteem. everytime i get the slightest blemish, shes the first to point it out. i hate it! someone please help me! any advice will help! ill rate 5s... (link)
Sorry your mom treats you like that. Tell her how it damages your self esteem, and that it hurts, but be serious. She might not know that she is hurting you. Also, have your dad back you up since he knows that it damages your self esteem.


Im a female, and im about 5"10 and my boyfriend is only 5"7...this makes me feel uncomfortable all the time. is this weird? (link)
