You can ask me ANYTHING and I'm always glad to help. There's almost no question I can't handle, so ask away. Make sure you RATE and leave FEEDBACK, so I can improve my advice.

advice

Would you say he liked me if

* He asked me to blow on his fake dice (like vegas)

* Stares in the eye sometimes like maybe 3 inches from my lips

*Smiled at me and laughed when we were talking about laughing

* Curious when I broke up with my boyfriend

*Came and hugged me and all my friends because he said it was a dare but my hug was longer

* I catch him staring at me and he itmediatly turns away

- I asked him out and he said he couldnt because he was extrememly busy with baseball which is true becase he plays on 2 teams so hes busy 6 out of 7 days of the week

Tell me what it all meansss pls

I'm pretty sure he likes you. Watch his behavior, and see what happens. You can always make the first move, waiting can be annoying. And for some reason, I don't think he's going to say "no"...Hope this helps.

Well, one of my best friends started seeing our school's guidance counselor because her boyfriend was in the hospital but now he's better than ever but she still eats lunch with her at least once a week. I love it because she gets alot out of it, whether she realizes it or not. Today they told her the names of a few places that are professional help (she's jsut had alot of experiences that have really messed her up, but don't think the wrong way about her). I know it will do her good and she'll be back on her feet in no time, but she doesn't want to go. Is there anything I can do or say that will convince her that it will be good for her?

I understand your her friend and you care, just don't infer that she needs help. Just say something like, "That sounds like a good idea." or something that would give her encouragement. You can also say that she seems well after the school therapy, so she could always give it a shot. If she's still saying "no", don't push her, people don't like being told they need help. Hope this helps.

hey, when you put in a tampon can it get stuck in you? cait♥

Most likely not. As long as you insert it the right way, the string will be there and you just pull. No worries, its very, very rare it will get stuck in you. Hope this helps.

ok... i have a boyfriend.. and we have been dating for like a year and a half.. he started to act a little funny around me.. and i found out that his parents are fighting and thinking about goin their on ways..

but there is this other guy that likes.. me.. and i kind of have feelings for him too....i dont know which one i should pick.. i think i should stay with my boyfriend but my feelings are all messed up... what do you think i should do??

I'm very against leading a guy on when you don't like him. I think you should talk to your boyfriend and tell him how you feel and do everything in your power to stay close after you break up. That way, you can help him feel better and be there for him, because his parents' fighting is obviously effecting him. I understand you feel bad about that, however, don't let it effect you. After all, it's not your problem. I would wait a little on the second guy, just so your boyfriend doesn't go into drama overload all in one or two weeks. After that, feel free to get things heated up between the two of you. Hope this helps.

My b/f got me a promise ring ( a ring that promises you will marry them) well anyways we got in this fight and we broke up well I gave back the ring and now he is going out with this new girl named kerisa well today i was talking to her and she was wearing the ring and she started showing it off to me what should i do?

Because you too aren't going out anymore, I wouldn't do anything. It would just show the girl you are jealous. If I were you, I wouldn't say anything to the girl, because I agree with the person below me, it would just cause drama. Obviously this guys a real player, he has already given that ring to two girls. I wouldn't be surprised how many girls have and will wear that ring. Thinking this will hopefully give you some dignity. Hope this helps.

13/f
1.hey! I'm having a surprized birthday party for my friend(lets call him bob-13/m). our birthday's are on the same day so i kinda feel left out but i REALLY want to do this for him does anyone know how to get over my jealousy?

2.what games should we play or what should we do?

3. My friend(lets call her ann) doesnt like my other friend Lynn. I want to invite both but i dont want drama! Ann is one of those ppl who freak out on ppl so im kinda scared to NOT invite her. and Lynn is a REALLY nice person but she has a knack for braging and thats why alot of people dont like her. but i do. does anyone know what i can do about this problem?

I SWEAR ILL RATE 5'S FOR EFFORT!

Okay. Here's my advice.

1. Try not to be jealous, even though it's hard. Get involved with planning the party and you won't have time to notice your jealousy. Also, your doing something nice for someone, so that should make you feel good. So don't feel jealous, just be happy your going to make someone else's day special.

2. You can put on music and of course have food. You can play games like truth or dare and spin the bottle, or just have a very "chill" party and watch movies and sit around and talk. If you want it to be more exciting, you can have a cake fight (it's more fun if its on the spur of the moment) or you can have some sort of scavenger hunt, where you have to go to peoples houses and get items.

3. As for these girls, if they are both friends with the birthday boy, invite them both. It's his day, not theirs, and they're going to need to learn to get along sooner or later. Also if you really think it's going to be a problem, make sure they know each other is going, and warn them if anything is started up, they'll both get kicked out.

Hope this helps and have fun with the party. Happy birthday to you as well.

so my brother and this girl have been going out since like september and my brother broke up with her like 3 months ago and ever since she has been like anirexic and she cuts herself now she is like out to get him like everytime they pass in the hall she grabs the nearest guy and like grabs his crotch or something skankkish like that. so yesterday she sent an annoyimous note to the principal saying that mybrother and his best friend smokes pott. so they searched they lockers and everything. but they didnt find anything so they just let them off. so my question is, what should he do?? and is there anything i can do??
thanks

This seems very insecure. You can't and shouldn't do anything about it. I know your concerned and what to help, but adding to this situation won't do anything. Talk to your brother, and suggest to him that he should talk to a parent or trusted adult about the situation. They can probably get that girl some help (obviously she is needing it), so she won't bother your brother any longer. Hope this helps.

okay i liked this guy now for about 2 months and he has liked me, we would talk on the phone every night and he would always tell me he loved me, but he would never ask me out and i dont get why. anyways just the other day he started bein a dick to me, not answering my phone calls, saying he'll call me back and never does. i just dont know what to do, im soo heartbroken it aint even funny i even thought about killing myself. i rate high

First off, don't kill yourself over one guy. I can tell you care about him a great deal, however, killing yourself is not the answer. Wait until he comes back to you. When he does, just talk to him about it. If he liked you, he'll listen to your feelings. He'll appreciate your honesty with him. And if he doesn't come back, it wasn't meant to be and there's someone out there way better than him. You just got to find him. There's something to look forward to! Hope this helps.

O wow.... okay me and my best friend went to the water park and we saw these really cute guys from our school and we started talking to them and then me and my friend went ahead of the boys and suddenly oneof the boys called by friend back with them and they whistpered somehting and they looked at me... i had no clue what was going on so i just stood there and then mi friend told me i had BLOOD on the swim shorts!!! AHHH!! i had started my period and i didnt know it and the oys pointed it out! i am soo embarresed how do i talk to theses guys again without being embarresed

Don't be embarrased! Go on and pretend it never happened. Act like everything's fine, they'll see you as a strong and confident person. Confidence is everything, so as long as you act confident, everything will be fine. If your not going to dwell on the past, the boys won't either. And if it ever comes up in a future conversation, just laugh it off. After all, you couldn't help it and it happens to the best of us. Hope this helps.

im not just here for the rating. Wehn you ask a question and you give the honest answer and you answer the question they asked. Why do they rate you a one.? Is there anything to do about them rating you a one when you deserved something like a four or a five?

Sometimes, when people don't hear what they want to hear, they rate you low. I know it's unfair, however don't just tell them what they want. They might rate you low, but at least they read your advice, and some of that will get through their heads, whether they like it or not. Just keep writing the amazing advice you've been giving and you'll be fine. Hope this helps.

Okay im 14/f and im about to graduate 8th grade.... well this year has been very stressful for me and i mean latly everyhting has been catching up with me and i think im begeninng to feel the early signs of depression.... i think i need to go to a counsiler.... but i dont know i mean how do i ask my parents to go to a consiler without them freaking out

If you think you are going to go into depression, you need to tell your parents regardless of how they might act. Depression is serious, and you should get help as soon as you can. Now, for telling your parents. First off, this is their job. They want what's best for you. They most likely won't get freaked out, and if they do, it won't drive them crazy. They'll find you a counselor, because your parents are there for you and always will be. Just go ahead and tell them and what happens, happens. Remember, your family is on your side. If you have any more questions, or need support, I'm here for you. You know where to find me. Hope this helps.

ok, well let me start off by saying that i chased away so many boys who wanna start something w/ me it's not even funny. 14/f

I don't wanna get a big head, but yeah, i'm pretty good looking, and in school... I always have different guys coming up to me and trying to start a conversation. They are really nice and everything.. and really cute, but the thing is I freeze up. Like for me, I love partying and everything and ya streaking, drinking, all the fun stuff. But I don't belive in relationships at such a young age. So when a guy trys to startsomehting with me, and wants to get a friendship going i freeze up and like NO.. NO RELATIONSHIPS. liek even if the guy isn't tryign to get in a relationship and liek just trying to be friends... i don't want him to fall for me and tehn i have to hurt him (happened in the past thousands of times). I dont' know what to do, and even begin.. please I need your advice! Thank - you :(

Okay. I understand your NO RELATIONSHIP policy and I strongly agree with it. It's not that 14 is to young to date, its just the fact that nothing serious is going to come from it. However, just because guys that were your friends have fallen for you in the past, doen't mean every single guy thinks that way. Your stopping yourself from having friends. My best advice is for you to stop pushing them away. Just be friends. And if they end up falling for you, it's not your fault. It's theirs. Don't feel bad about the broken hearts either. You can't help it, so don't make it your problem. Hope this helps.

Alright, my boobs have been growing since I was 11. I'm now 13, and my left boob is signifigantly larger then the right. It's unnoticable when I'm wearing a Bra and a shirt, however, with summer coming up, it is quite noticable in a bikini. One of my boobs is like spilling over the swim suit, and the other one is places nicely inside.
Even my friends noticed!
What should I do?

Don't feel self concious, a lot of girls have this 'one boob bigger than the other' problem. What you can do is add a little extra padding to right boob (most swimsuits come with removable pads). Also, you can wear suits that you won't be able to tell the difference between your boobs. Instead of a string bikini, you can try one with a more supportive halter top. If you need any help finding a suit, you know where to find me. Hope this helps.

my boyfriend says he has 2 minutes before his dad throws him down a flight of stairs for getting bad grades and not finishing his work. is it a cry for help, is he being dramatic? what do i dooo oh please help!!

He might be being a little overdramatic, however you need to talk to him if he was serious. He might be being abused, so you need to figure out straight facts, so you can offer him support on what to do. You shouldn't get invovled with the whole situation, however offering him advice to seek help about it is okay. Hopefully, he was just being a little overdramatic, that way you can avoid a serious situation. If there is a problem, you can always ask me a question about it. I'm here for you. You know where to find me. Hope this helps.

I have a boyfriend his friends was talking to me saying he was a punk and i said no then they askedd me did i go with him i said yes andthey went back and told him that i said he was a punk and i dont go with him and he broke up with me saying that i am denying him as my boyfriend what should i do?

Your boyfriend's friends seem pretty obnoxious. I can tell you care a lot about this relationship. What you need to do is talk to your bf. If he cares about you the way you care about him, he'll listen. Tell him you would never say things like that. Hopefully he'll believe you. If he doesn't, he's not worth it and if you look on the brightside, you don't have to hang out with his asshole friends. Hope this helps and if you need anything you know where to find me.

ok so their is this boy we can call him j and i REALLY like him. i am thinking about going out with him but my parents would freak out because hes mixed (white and black) and im white. their not racest or anything. they just disagree with me going out with a black/mixed/any race other then white person because they think that putting mixed children situation is wrong. i of coarce STRONGLY disagree! i think that it shouldnt matter what race you are. so as i was saying i want to go out with j but should i really go agenst what my parents say AND not tell them im going out with j?

what should i do??

please HELP!

It's your decision. If you really like him, go out with him. If your guilt is going to get in the way however, it might not be a good idea. If I were you, I would go out with him and after a week or so, I would tell my parents. I would say something like, "I want to be completely honest with you. I am going out with J. You can't help who you like, and I won't break up with him because of your inter-racial beliefs. How would you feel in my place?" Just make sure when telling your parents you act mature, therefore they know you are serious, and will take you seriously. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Ok so you could say im that girl everyone knows and everything, Im known like all through the school! Im friends with everyone pretty much! So you could say im one notch below the top notch popular people. What can I do to be more popular?

Most importantly, be yourself. All too often, people lose their identity to popularity, so just stay true to yourself. On top of that, smile, say "hi" to people in the halls, have a good sense of humor, laugh, don't be selfish or cocky, be confident, be friendly, help people when they have problems, be the girl people like to be around. Also, I'm going to have to agree with the girl below me on BEING THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. That way people will remember you, and will want to be around you. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I want to go on a crash diet, yea its bad for me but w/e iDc. SO my meals everyday would consist of:

Breakfast: Some sort of fruit
Lunch: A small snack maybe a sandwhich or something of that sort
Dinner: Maybe a bowl of rice and some meat. or just anykind of plain meat.

That way i get some of the pyramid into my daily meals.. So tell me if that is good enough or not

and no i will not be throwing up any of this food. im not belimic or anorexic.

Crash diets aren't a good way to lose weight, but since you don't want to hear it I won't say anything. I would suggest adding vegetables into your diet, those are healthy and you need them for nutrition. Other than that, just make sure you have protein, good carbs (whole wheat bread for sandwhich), fruits and vegetables. Whatever you do just don't not eat any less than that. Hope that helps.

What turns a guy on, what makes him want to ask out a girl? RATE HIGH AND COMMENT! (include at least 5 diff things pls if possible)

Confidence is the key. Here are some other ideas.

1)Have a sense of humor
2)Be fun to be around
3)Don't act like the normal backstabbing, selfish, stuck up teenage bitch
4)Be yourself
5)Act a little curious..make him think about you
6)and of course...BE CONFIDENT

Hope this helps you get the guy.
