advice

when you give a hickey like how do you do it. i mean like do you suck on the person or like just kiss it over and over again. like howw...?

1. Choose the right spot... You can give someone a hickey just about anywhere. The most common place is on the throat, because the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) that are broken during a hickey are pretty close to the surface and because you don’t need to remove any clothing to give a hickey on the neck. These are also the most easily visible, and while visibility is usually intended, you may want to give or receive a hickey elsewhere where it is more easily covered.
2. Place your lips against the skin, leaving your mouth open slightly in the middle. Your lips should be parted as though you are saying the letter “O.”
3. Suck on the skin. Make a good seal with your lips against the skin, and suck the skin as though you’re trying to suck it into your mouth. Continue applying suction for at least 30 seconds, possibly more. The suction will break the capillaries beneath the skin and cause the characteristic bruising that is a hickey.

Another tip, NEVER BITE.

Does the pink weight loss patch work?

No. They only work for about 1-2 weeks and then the weight slowly starts to come back. No patch, pill, or cream will ever work. The only way to truly lose weight effectively and permanently is by diet and exercise. I'm not saying that you have to go to the gym for 3 hours, but just lessening your portions when you eat and taking a 30 minute light jog/walk every day and keeping that routine consistent will help you lose weight.

i like this guy, and we exchanged numbers and he texted me first that night.
anyways, i don't know if he likes me, sometimes it seems like he does but other times it seems like he likes someone else.
i don't know how i can tell, what are some sure ways that i would be able to tell he likes me.
like sometimes i catch him looking at me in class, and if i catch him he usually looks away and smiles.
anyhelp, thanks.

I think that he is interested, because one of the very infamous flirting techniques is when you catch a guy looking at you, and he immediately looks away.

Other ways to tell:
- Makes an effort to touch you [hug, high five, pokes you on the shoulder/stomach/side, you get what I'm saying].
- Tries to sit close to you. For example, your class is watching a movie, and he comes and sits next to you, even if his buddies are on the other side of the room.
- He'll do time consuming favors for you. For example, you need to know the name of something for a project, and he takes time out of his own free time to go and look it up for you.
- He butts into your conversations. You're talking to your friends, and he joins in on the conversation.
- He always 'seems' to show up wherever you are.
- If you're feeling down, he'll try to cheer you up.
- When you guys are talking, does he lean forward and seem open? He's interested.
- He tries to get your attention, he'll come up with nicknames, or continuously tease you about something that happened a billion years ago.
- His friends are more friendly to you.
- He uses your name in the conversation. For example, you do something funny, and he goes 'Haha nice... [your name]'
* If he wants to talk to you all the time,
* If he starts acting nicer when you're around him,
* If he says yes to all the things you ask him to do,
* If he treats you differently to other girls,
* If he looks at you a lot every time you smile or laugh,
* If he acts immature around you, like poking, teasing or playful flirting,
* If he seems to always want to hang out with you,
* If he gets closer with a body part, or if he tries to touch you (ex. when you touch him he might touch you back showing affection and compassion),
* If you catch him peeking at you and he smiles,
* If he tries to make you laugh, or if he tries to copy you,
* If he walks up to you out of the blue and hugs you,
* If he tries to keep you in view for as long as possible, or tends to look around and stop when he finds you,
* If he subtly looks at you but makes it look like he is looking at the girl next to him,
* If he goes out of his way to talk to you (ex. if he goes to the other side of the school to talk to you because he knows you have a class there),
* If you block him on instant messenger and stop talking to him, and he finds a way to talk to you,
* If he invites you to his birthday party or any kind of party,
* If you flirt with a friend of his when he can see, and he looks jealous or automatically flirts back,
* If he talks to you and wants to know how you're doing,
* If he is nicer or tries to talk to your friends,
* If he asks about you to your friends when you're not around
* If he asks you to dance with him at the dance.
* If he walks past you and tries to look cool so you can glance at him
* If he starts flirting with your friends to make you jealous.
* If a guy tries to show you things he got that are somewhat expensive (ex. a cellphone)...he probably likes you...he's trying to impress you,
* It depends on the guy really -- there could be a chance that if he ignores you at times, that he likes you, and is just intimidated. Or maybe on the defense, thinking that you don't like him THAT way, and thus if he rejects you FIRST, his ego remains intact.
* If he always talks to you there's a great chance that he likes you.

Sorry if the ones with the stars repeat the ones with the little dashes next to them. I copied and pasted them from a website.

Best of luck!

what's a program similar to powerpoint that i can download for free? all ones that i've tried to download are too much like movie maker.

Aside from Alin75's answer [I've tried OO, it works great], Google Docs lets you make a free Powerpoint online.

Go to:

http://docs.google.com

Sign up for an account if you don't already have one.

On the left side, click the arrow on the button 'New', and select 'Presentation'. It's basically an exact replica of Powerpoint.

what is the guys name i marry?

I don't know the name of the guy that you're going to marry, sorry.

can anyone find the answers to these you'd be a total life saver =D

Past,present and future developments in aircraft:

**EDIT**

I do realize that this site is for advice for personal problems and/or questions.. not for homework questions. :)

**/EDIT**

This isn't a homework help site, by the way.

http://www.globalaircraft.org/history_of_aviation.htm

I really don't care if I get a 1, but I found that website using Google.

So why can't you do the same?

Let's start off with the fact that i love to act, i've been in over 15 shows, but recently i was performing Romeo and Juliet, and i got the role of Juliet. Well the guy who was Romeo was kind of a nerd and i didn't want to kiss him on stage at all, but after going threw that scene where i kissed him i kind of liked it. Later in rehearsals and cast parties we started to hang out and we flirted a lot! And i started to really like him. So i went to his best friend and told her that i liked him and asked if he might like be back, but she flicked me off and told me that she was in love with him and that he probably hated me. Do you think i have the right to be mad at her and keep flirting with him or should i just stop liking him?

She's more than likely seen you guys kiss, and I see a little green creature lurking. ;) Go right ahead, hun. You've got a good thing going for you.

Okay this may make me sound like a looser but I've never went to any concert before and it's finally about time! This kind of makes it hard that my fisrt concert I go to is a rock concert but can anyone give me some hlep or advice?

I absolutely love rock and metal but I don't think I'll jump or anything or punhc my fist into the air continueously...will someone curse at me for that?

And does it matter what I wear since everyone's going to sweat?

Any other advice would be great, thanks!

I went to a From First to Last concert, and it was crazy.. I got caught in a mosh pit, and was pushed around quite a few times, got kicked in the face, was very close to having a couple of my front teeth knocked out, and had a black eye the size of a baseball. It was hell. No one will curse at you for doing anything, because everyone's going to be either listening to music or going to be moshing, so you'll be fine. Just be careful. The place is probably going to smell like cigs, weed, and alcohol. I also had to stand [obviously], and there were a bunch of drunk [and high] guys that were all sweaty and I literally felt like I was suffocating.

Have fun!

ok, I was with my much older 2nd cousin last night, he's 30 I'm 16 and I'm in love with him, he feels the same way. Anyway, I gave him a small kiss on the lips right, and before we knew it we were REALLY REALLY close to making out. WHAT DO I DO?

Okay, so I've seen your question 3 times, and I think it's time that I've finally given my answer.

I realize that you guys may be in love, and that's alright, but please, just wait 2 years until you're legal to pursue anything. I don't know how much longer you guys will be able to go on, because I'm sure that someone in your family has noticed already. He's 14 years older than you, and he could get in a LOT of trouble for messing around with a minor.

Just wait it out until you're 18, trust me, it will be a lot better that way.

I need ideas to debate about

I think that the whole 'our school should not wear uniforms' topic has been overused to it's extremity. You should probably tackle some more sophisticated ideas. Just be sure of what you are talking about.

Here are some other ideas:
- How the US should end to war in Iraq in order to become a country that provides universal health care.
- Lowering the age of consent.
- AIDS drugs being made cheaper for third-world countries.
- Same-sex marriage.
- Capital punishment.
- Choosing the gender of children.
- Genocide in Darfur.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has any substitutes for tanning lotion (the kind that you're supposed to put on before you go into a tanning bed.) It's SO expensive and I don't feel like paying $30 for a bottle. Is there something else out there that works just as well and that is CHEAP? Can I just use regular lotion? Do I even need lotion at all?
THANKS!

Usually, the tanning lotion that you can find at Walmart/CVS/Walgreens are of lesser quality, but are not as expensive.

http://cgi.ebay.com/HAWAIIAN-TROPIC-GOLDEN-TANNING-SUNTAN-LOTION-SPF6_W0QQitemZ180125268220QQcmdZViewItem

That one would range anywhere from $8-$10.

Do not use regular lotion, you need to use something that protects against UV rays [that are emitted from the sun]. And yes, you do need to use lotion, but not the moisturizing kind, you need the kind that looks similar to the link that I posted above.

i just got the guy i likes phone number, i was like we can be texting buddies and hes like yea, and we exchanged numbers.
how long should i wait before i text him, and what should i say.
thanks.

I would say anywhere from 3 days to 1 week. Then you can casually just text him and say 'hey, whats up?', and like the previous columnist said, don't text in between, and don't expect an immediate text back. Don't take anything personally, it's just a guy.

how do i put a picture as a caption on myspace

Go to tinypic.com, and upload your picture.
Copy the address that says 'Direct Link for Layouts'.
Open up Notepad/Word Document, and paste the address .

This is the code:

Where it says 'address here', replace it with that address that you posted in Notepad/Word/ect. Take out the stars, and then copy that finished code in that section where you edit your picture on Myspace.

is red red wine by bob marley or UB-40?

Actually, UB-40 made 'Red Red Wine', but Bob Marley made 'Red Wine', with one 'Red'.

what horrible thing did she do?

She took half naked, and naked pictures of her that were meant for Zac, but were somehow leaked out to the press. Since she is signed to a contract with Disney, this kind of played down their image as the 'kids' network. She's supposed to be the sweet, modest girl of High School Musical, not the next Jenna Jameson.

Hi, i asked about the converter thing for the videos on my friends cell phone. I tried converting a file, and it said it worked, but when i went to Windows Movie Maker and tried to import it, the video still wouldn't show up, and when i put the name of it in the little bar thing, it said there was no such file.
Is there anything else i can do??
Thanks:)

Open up the place where you saved the file, click, and drag it to that blank white space.

If that doesn't work, then I don't know.. I'm not familiar with Windows Movie Maker.

it seems no matter how much i sleep (too little OR too much) i'm always getting bags under my eyes. how can i prevent this or make them go away?

**EDIT**

Lol, hun, I've tried the frozen spoon thing many, many times.

It truly does work.

So why did I get a 4?

Freeze a spoon overnight, and when you wake up, place the spoon and hold it for about 5 minutes. They should go away by then, if not, hold it longer.

SO, i took a video with my friends cell phone for a project, and i wanted to put it onto Windows Movie Maker, but it wont go on!!! the file wont be found and all becuase its a different file type!! HELP!!
I need this for tomorrow!!
THANK YOU

First, you need to download the video file to your computer either by attaching it to an email on your phone and then sending the email to yourself, or by connecting your phone to the black cord [aka the USB cord], so that the file manually downloads itself onto the computer. You are sending the email to yourself, so that you can go on the computer, check your email, open the email that you sent from your phone, and download the file to your computer. Save the file somewhere that you can remember [My Documents, My Videos, My Music, whatever..]

The file type will most likely be .3gp.

After that, go here:
http://media-convert.com/

Click 'browse', and find the file that you saved. Scroll down a little, and where it says 'Output Format', find 'Windows Movie Maker' [.wmv]. Checkmark 'I accept the terms', click OK, and it will start converting.

Hope that made sense.

Message me if it does not work.
