advice

So a few weeks ago i just got dumped, and i really like this guy a lot still. I always ask himif he likes me and sometimes he says kinda and sometimes he says no. He acts really cute to me and stuff when no one else is around, or he will tell me he likes me but then the next day he will say he doesnt then 5minutes later he will tell me that he loves me. I like this guy so much and i would do anything to get him back.
Does he like me? Any ideas to win him back?

He sounds emotionally unstable and I would advise you to keep your distance. People like that can be harmful to others.

Find someone else who will love you and respect you without changing their minds like they change their underpants.

Could this be a possible sign of a STD?

I have this open, gaping wound in my mouth. It's more like a hole inside my mouth. A lot of the time it's white, but you can see it going into my mouth.
I've been sexually active, but not in the past month and this has just appeared in the last week.
My boyfriend I am 99.99% sure that he is STD free because I'm the only one he's bee sexually active with.
Could this just be a severe canker sore? Or possibly I bit my lip and didn't remember? Or is there a chance it's a STD.

If you have any idea what an oral STD might look like, I'd like to know that too.

Thank You

It sounds like a canker sore, and I would advise you to go to a doctor.

Keep in mind that it is possible it may not be an STD. Sometimes, when people have an iodine deficiency, they can get canker sores.

I would still suggest that you go to a doctor and get checked out because if it is an STD, you don't want to spread it and if it is something else, you at least should know so you can prevent it from happening again.

ok when i answer some peoples questions i answer them to the best of my abilities, but they end up rating me really bad because i say one bad thing liek these recent ones i put bf for boyfriend and she rated me a two and said that i should spell everything out next time and i will get a higher rating and another one i answered and just becuase i said what ever floats your boat they said its not about them and they rated me bad

this is really killing my ratings ill rate you good

Perhaps you are not putting forth your best ability to give good advice and you're getting bad ratings because people are sensing that.

Keep in mind, some people are jerks and they will take out their frustration on strangers. Just don't let it get to you, but always keep in mind that sometimes constructive criticism can give you the opportunity to improve yourself.

I want to go get my hair dyed all back to one color tonight cuz my highlights are all grown out. My hair is pretty long and the place said that it costs $34.99 and up. Obviously this means for longer hair its gonna cost more....so if my hair is down to almost the middle of my back...about how much is this going to run me? If you just got your hair dyed could you guys tell me about how much it cost. Thanks a ton :)

Go to a hair salon and ask them how much it will cost for your hair length. They would give you an exact price.

Well I like my bff (im m/14 my bestfriend is also m/14) and well he's unfourtunealtley strait, well i want to be able to go out with him. But i odn't want ppl knowing i'm Bi, anyways I found a way to get him to like me... well my friend used to do wicca stuff(spells) and she's finding me a love spell. I've seen stuff like this work before(she's done it) so i want to do it on him but i don't know if i should because I don't want to force him into this but i want to have him love me... what should i do should i use it or not?
I rate high...unlesss youre ignorant

Using direct love spells is considered black magic and it will come back three-times fold. However, you can use a love spell to attract a mate with the same description as your friend.

I understand you like your friend, but you have to be understanding to the fact that he may not share the same feelings as you. If you're patient, you will most likely find someone who will feel the same about you as you do about them. I'm sure this is not what you wanted to hear, but magick won't solve as much as you think it will.

Just keep this in mind: boyfriends and girlfriends don't last forever, but friends do, and this is a fact.

what are common expressions that you say to the person you love or husband/wife

something like,

You are the _______ in my ________.

or

You put the _______ in ________.

Ive heard those before but I cant remember what the words are.

I need something like that to say to my boyfriend for our anniversary. THANK YOU

I'm sure your boyfriend would appreciate it more if it came from your heart, rather than someone else's mouth.

Just close your eyes, think of him, and write down all the words that come to mind. Don't force it.

What do you do if you want to kiss your girlfriend. But you dont know if you are ready

You'll know you're ready if you can answer this question:

Is that how you imagined your first kiss?

I really like this older guy and he likes me. The age difference is quite big, he's in his mid 40's and I am 27.
We both like each other and have been on a couple of dates, but I'm worried about other people;s reaction to us.
For example, we had many raised eyebrows when we went out to a restaurant together. Someone asked me if he was my father!!
Also other friends of mine that have met him don't find him attractive and don't know what I see in him. I've always gone for guys with nice personalities than good looking guys who were jerks. So what if he's a little overweight and going grey?
He treats me well and I feel like I can talk to him about anything.
What should I say to everyone who is trying to break us up?

You tell them nothing because it is not your responsibility to explain your private life to other people.

If anything needs explaining, it is the judgmental attitude and behaviour of people who need lives of their own to pay attention to.

If they do insult him in front of you or talk down to you, just use your wit and charm. Chances are, the same people who are judging you, do not have a stable relationship.

Never-the-less, you don't need to explain what you do to everyone. You're a 27 year old independent woman. If your friends are not supporting your decision, appreciate their honesty and move on. If they can't move on, give them a verbal swift kick in the ass.

The next time someone asks if he is your father, tell them he is your brother and then kiss him. It is always best to make light of a situation.

Think about it this way, if you had kids with him, whenever someone asked if he was your father, you would point to one of your kids and say '.. and she's my mother'.

A little moxie goes a long way.

Hi.

I am 14 years old, and lets just say my name is S. I am a girl, and a diabetic. I sometimes don't get my periods, its irregular and have went to the doctor about it. They said theres nothing they can do except give me birth control, which my mom did not want me on. I have about 9 or 10 lumps (size of tiny pimples) around my left and right nipples, and soreness around my breast. I really do not know if this is breast cancer related, but I am too afraid to go to the doctor. I am afraid to show anyone my body, so I won't go to a family member, or like I said, a doctor.. can one of you please give me some advice before I go to drastic measures such as my MOM?
sincerely,
S.

First of all, the only drastic measure you are taking is not doing anything about it. Your first instinct and action should be to go to the doctor. Doctors exist for a reason! At 14 years of age, the risk of getting breast cancer is practically none. Chances are, the lumps you are feeling are normal for your body.

No matter what, just go to the doctor with or without your mom. Doctors are medical experts. If you're insecure, you can choose to go to a female doctor. They are not there to judge you. They are there to help and heal.

If there was something seriously wrong, which I highly doubt, would you prefer to regret doing nothing about it once it is too late?

Alright. This is going to be extremley confusing. I'm in a relationship with this guy named *Tom*. We've been dating for 2 months. We only hold hands and cuddle. We don't make out or anything. Haven't even kissed. I kind of regard him as an older brother now.

Now there's this other guy, *mark*. we've been wanting to date for over 7 months, but couldn't because of different reasons. Now we want to go out together. We are fine to talk, cuddle, make out, and even do some physical stuff together. And I really care for him. Deeply.(BUT I HAVE NOT DONE ANY OF THIS WHILE I HAVE BEEN WITH *TOM*)

Now I recently, as in two days ago, met this guy named *Pat*. He's really sweet and fun to talk to, and he likes to treat me sweetly, kiss my hand, hug me, hold hands...but he knows i have a boyfriend. I feel so helpless. like it's not right to say no. He wants me to break with *tom and go with him, but I don't know...*mark* wants me to break with *tom* to go with him too..

I honestly don't know what to do.

I've gotten into a mess...

Please give me valuable advice....

I will rate high

If any of them were the one, you wouldn't have to ask.

In regards to your condescending comment, I want to add that you claimed you wanted 'valuable' advice. I assumed when you said 'valuable', you meant 'valuable' not 'tell me what to do because I can't think independently'.

My mistake.

kind of embarassing...

so when i pee it kinda feels like i still have to go after im done but i dont and nothing comes out. and please dont tell me its a UTI because i'v had them before and it feels like that but it goes away and only feels like i have to right after for like 5 minutes then goes away so i dont think its a UTI. could it just be wat i drank or ate today is doing it? not a big deal..

It is very likely that you have a urinary tract infection. This can affect your body greatly if you don't go to the doctor and get treated accordingly.

So, go to the doctor not a website.

i've tried many products and used the coldest of water but my hair is ALWAYS FRIZZY. it's very thick and curly and i don't want to cut it..how can i make it look healhty and smooth but GET RID OF THE FRIZZ! will rate high!!

Use hair wax from a store that specifically sells hair related items.

Depending on your hair type, hair wax is incredibly effective, even if you blow dry, and it does not damage your hair.

Also, you can always buy a hair straightener, but a good one, not one you buy from the pharmacy.

Your last option should be chemical straightening, as it is very expensive and damages your hair more than you realize.

i have to get arthoscopy, the doc thinks i tore my miniscus and i was just wondering like...what is it like does it hurt for a long time, what is it liek when you wake up, how do they puit you to sleep? thanks!

These are questions your doctor should have answered from the beginning! I would suggest discussing it with a professional.

Arthroscopy is more of a 'procedure' rather than surgery. It's to check for any abnormalities in your arms or legs. If you wish to know more, you can go on www.Arthroscopy.com .

My sister-in-law *Chelsey* is just turned 18, her husband is 24. She has a 2 year old and a 4 month old. Her husband beats her, and everytime someone helps her she lies and says "I fell down the stairs." He's been in jail, has no license and is on probation for known violence. We want to help her when she asks, but how do we help? Can we help? We're at the end of our rope, and are about ready to call SRS, those children don't need this life. She doesn't need him, but those kids need HER! Please help? I don't want to take those kids away...

Many abused women will defend their husbands, and it is very unfortunate. It is also unfortunate that you have to be strong for your sister, but it is good that she has someone.

My idea is a subtle one. Set up a place in your home for your sister. If you have a spare bedroom or a couch, you're more than halfway there.

I don't know any details about the situation, but if you go over to her house often, bring a gym bag or a piece of luggage and pack up some of her and the kids' things, even if she disagrees. Take it to your house and make sure the husband does not notice any of whatever is going on. Have some money set aside just for her.

Bring a tape-recorder with you to her home when or if you go, just in case the husband is there and he says anything incriminating.

If you report it to Child Services, you would have to take over the responsibility of taking care of the children, or at least that is what I would suggest.

It's unfortunate, but your sister feels she probably has no way out and if she cannot take care of herself, she cannot take care of the children. That is not a good environment for them to grow up in.

Keep in mind that if she has been in a hospital, doctors keep records of these things. If they notice that it is spousal abuse, they will probably be suspicious about what she claims happened and keep a note of it.

Lastly, I would suggest calling the police and explaining the situation to them. Even if there is nothing they can do right now, they will keep a record of your call.

If any of this goes to court at any point, you will be prepared.

Lastly, this is the best part, (and sometimes where a tape recorder or a CAMERA can come in handy), you tell the right authorities that he has broken his probation. If it is against his probation to drink or do certain things, you can take a picture of it, and the inside of the house.

Keep yourself prepared because abusive people are a danger to society.

Before you do ANYTHING, take the kids. Call the right authorities and just take the kids into your home or another family member's home. They should not live there anymore. If he is abusing his wife, he could easily abuse his children.

k, well i have red hair. & im thinking about getting streaks in my hair. or something like that. what would you recommend? i rate high!

For red hair, definitely go to a professional to apply streaks.

I would suggest getting a few low-lights and highlights to give your hair personality and definition. That means you would have some blonde streaks and some streaks darker than your hair colour.

No matter what, just go to a professional. Red hair can be very sensitive to colour.

Okay my boyfriends birthday is Saturday so I want to throw him a big supper but I dunno what to cook for him. I got the cake lol. I'm not sure on what to cook though. So can anyone help me out plz..

Ask him what his favourite foods are and if he has any allergies.

Once he tells you, you can find a large number of recipes on the internet if you type it in google.com .

Okay.. Me an this girl have been friends since like the 6th grade and now we are freshman. Well at the beginning of the school year she got caught taking pills along with some other kids. Well every since then she has been hanging out with these other people that are wrong for her. So now she does crack, weed, sniffs muscle relaxers && drinks. I try an talk to her but all she does it cuss me out. She says this is the happiest shes been in awhile, and that she likes doing it. She says shes tired of me acting like a "perfect christian" thats it's p'ing her off. She also said that if i told anyone that she was gonna beat my butt. She parties every weekend and even on the weekdays. I don't know what to say to her anymore about it. I want to help her so much. But I dunno what to do. Please help me.

Everyone has the opportunity to grow up at some point or another. These opportunities come in different forms. You have to accept and be understanding towards the choices your friends make, but not necessarily their lifestyle. They may not always be the same choices you make, but everyone has their own path.

If you are concerned, you can tell a counsellor, but don't go over-board. Keep in mind that she needs to live her life and sometimes for people to learn and grow, they have to experience different things and situations.
