Hi, originally I had about 77+ ratings on my advice column but not until recently I'm seeing the numbers decrease. Now it's gone down to 64 ratings and I'm baffled cuz I haven't deleted any advice I've given, nor has anyone withdrawn their questions. Can anyone tell me what's up? Thanks

The reason why the number of times you have been rated is decreasing is because your ratings only count for 30 days. Any of your ratings that are older than 30 days don't get included when all of your ratings are calculated. This is why the number of times you've been rated is decreasing.

Ok, so theres this kid that says he likes me. He talks about to my friends like 24/7. He won't ask me out. What's he waiting for? What's he afraid of? Should I make the first move and ask him out? We already made out like 12 times but never dated. HELP ME PLEASE!!! ty

Most guys have trouble when it comes to asking out a girl, it's just a normal thing and it may take a while for him to ask you out. He will eventually because if he talks about you to your friend all the time, then that's good. I may be afraid of what you will say but if you two made out a lot of time, then he knows that you will say "yes" when he asks you out. You should probably make the first move and ask him out because it will be a relief to both of you. Waiting for him to ask you out may take a long time so ask him out yourself.

is it okay if my dog ate some cheerios? will she be alrite? please answer asap it was a bout a handle of cheerios

Yes, it's definitely okay if your dog ate about a hand full of Cheerios and she will be alright, since Cheerios are actually good for dogs. Some people use Cheerios to teach dogs tricks and such and there is nothing to worry about. If it was chocolate, than that's something to worry about.

I'm 15 and I have never had a boyfriend while everyone else has!! Is this normal?!?!?! And please don't say I'm too young to even be thinking about this!! and also How do you flirt??? Sorry is this is stupid..

Yes, it's normal to still haven't had a boyfriend at the age of 15. Love comes at different times and to those who wait so don't worry. To flirt with a guy, you just need to smile, make eye contact with him and just try to be around him a lot and talk to him more than usual. Things like that are flirting and there are other ways to flirt too. This isn't stupid at all.

Ok this is a really stupid question...but please bare with me. I can't apply eyeliner! Whenever I do, it looks very fake, and it looks like I just drew a line around my eyes. How do you apply it properly so that it blens and looks my natural?
I rate 5's!!!!

This isn't a stupid question at all. To apply eyeliner properly so that it looks natural, you need to use a color that goes with you and apply it as close as you can to your eyelashes. When you are applying eyeliner on your eyelid, close one of your eyes and make your look like they are Chinese (I'm not prejudice or anything) and put the eyeliner on that way. That will help and it will look natural. When you are putting eyeliner on the bottom of your eyes, apply it slowly and don't make the line thick. If you mess up, take a q-tip, wet it, and fix your mistake. Go to http://www.covergirl.com and look for more tips on how to apply eyeliner so that it will look natural. I hope that wasn't confusing.

how do i make my day more stress free

Well, if you are talking about school-wise, then try to think positive about things and when you have to do something that takes a long time to do, do that slowly and that will help not make it so stressful. If you are talking about your day at home, then just relax when you think something is going to stress you out. There are other ways to make your day more stress free but these should help; they help me.

okay, i really need tips on how to get better sleep, and wake up feeling refresed

To get better sleep, you need to try to fall asleep earlier than usual and try to stay away from drinking soda before going to bed. This will help you wake up feeling awake and refreshed. If you still are feeling tired when you wake up, just rinse your face with cold water and that should help. Don't take any medicines that make your drowsy because yes, you'll fall asleep faster but in the morning, you'll feel tired.

I like this guy.. lets call him B.. and whenever i'm around him i get butterflies in my stomach.. then if im sad or upset..he's the only one that can cheer me up! is this Love?

I rate.

Well, this could be love but I would consider this a big crush for now. If "B" is always there for you when you're sad or upset, it shows that he cares for you. Love is different for everyone and only you know if this is love. If you think it is, then it is.

Hey.. does anyone know if it is possible to transfer pix from my phone to my computer? It's a Samsung SCH-a670. Also.. how much would that cost (if it is possible)?

Thanks a bunch.. I rate 5's

Yes, it's possible to transfer pictures from your phone to your computer. If you have the option of sending pictures through emailing people on your phone, email the pictures to your email address and that will work. It should cost about the same as sending pictures to other phones. Or you could buy a cord that can be attached to your phone and computer and you can "upload" the pictures from your phone to your computer that way.

this guy i really like always stares at me in the hallway and alot of times comes up and talks to me. and he sat by me when i was on his bus one time. i dont know if he likes me.. what do i do?

It sounds like this guy does like you. If you catch a guy staring at you and always wanting to talk to you, it means that he likes you. You should definitely start talking to him more so you two can get to know each other better. Start hanging out with him outside of school. Flirting with him will help, if you want him to ask you out.

I dyed my hair yesterday and i always straighten/flat iron my hair and i was wondering if its safe to flat iron it after i dyed it? would it dye it out? my hair is well conditioned so it doesnt look or feel dye but i was just making sure. Thanks!

Yes, it's safe to flat iron your hair after you dyed it. If you straighten your hair everyday for a long time, this will eventually cause your hair to become fried and damage but there are conditioners that you can use that will "fix" your hair. Straightening your hair won't fade away the dye or dye it out so don't worry about that. I dye my hair every 2 months and I use a flat iron to straighten my hair every day and my hair is now becoming dryed but I just use a good leave-in conditioner to make my hair better.

sometimes when im in the car i imagen getting in a car wreck and dying. and i also imagen other ways that i could die but there all normal...(not like sucide or anything.) is this normal?

Yes, this is normal. Everyone thinks about ways of dying because it's something that everyone has to face eventually. Don't worry, you aren't the only one who thinks about this. Just try to not let this get to you because it will just stay in your mind at all times and you don't want that to happen.

how do you find out if a guy likes you without having to ask him straight out? please helpp

You can find out if a guy likes you without having to ask him straight out by watching how he acts around you. If you catch him staring at you and smiling at you, that tells you he is interested in you. If he flirts with you and always wants to talk and be around you, then he likes you. If he tries to impress you or sticks up for you, then he likes you. There are other ways to find out if a guy likes you too but these are just the obvious.

i'm afraid that if i start using tampons it will give me that disease thing and plus the thought of tampons just grosses me out but my pads always leak and i feel so uncomfortable with them. ew i dont know what to do.

The only way you are going to get Toxic Shock Syndrome or TSS is by wearing a tampon in for too long or just wearing them when you shouldn't. Don't worry, there is a small chance that you will get it. Just remember, tampons are a lot better than pads because there is a less chance of you leaking and you can't even feel them. Why don't you try using a few tampons for a day? Your about them will change, trust me.

Yes, it's normal for your breasts to hurt doing your period. It happens to other girls too so don't worry.

Ok well I have tried to use a tampon like a million times but everytime I try to put in, It doesn't go in all the way even though it looks like it!! When I walk, it's realllyyy uncomfertable..What am I doing wrong???

This is going to sound really gross but once you put a tampon, take your pointer finger and just push the tampon in. That will make the tampon go in all the way and you won't have that uncomfortable feeling when you walk and such. When you want to put a tampon in, squat down. That will help. You are doing anything wrong because it's normal for this to happen and you will get used to using tampons. Follow the instructions and you will then know that you aren't doing anything wrong. Also, you may be using the wrong tampon size and this may be the reason of why the tampon won't go in all the way.

OMG I soo totally Love hard rock!..my favorite band in the whole world is Dirturbed and I love every one of their songs and i know the words to all of them and i listen to them 24/7...but i am a christian i like other music too but hard rocks my favorite....is listening to it a sin?? and do they worship the devil??? thnx for any help

I used to listen to Disturbed too and I don't think they worship the Devil. Check out their website and you can probably find an answer there. Listening to hard rock music is not a sin; I love hard rock music too because it's just music and I don't think it's a sin. Being Christian has nothing to do when you listen to music, in my opinion.

By the way, aren't they recording an album? I think an album will be coming out shortly from them.
