lorelei's Picture Hi, I'm Lorelei. I live with my mother, my older sister and my grandmother.
I travel a lot but I'm never a tourist. ;) My mother owns property all over the country and I'm extremely lucky to feel at home in so many different places. It's a lot of fun and I get to see a lot of things and meet a lot of people.
Shopping always seems to be better away from home too.
I'm very fashion-minded and stylish, spontaneous and energetic, dorky and giggly. I enjoy having a good time. Almost too much. I party every chance I get. I do drink but I do so responsibly and you should too.
I'm very young but the year 2003 caused me to learn more about who I am than some people get to learn about themselves in an entire lifetime. Ever since I've made it a point to share what I've learned with everyone possible. Ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Whether or not you found my advice useful, a rating is appreciated, good or bad. Let me know how I can improve.

Ok i need help. theres this guy i like named zack. Ive known him for about 3 years and we've both liked eachother in the past and everything. hes 16 and im 14(female). Well this time we both have been hanging out, talking more and im really liking him. But for some reason i have this weird feeling that its just a summer type thing, because all year we barely talk(even tho we go to the same school i barely see him) then it seems like everytime summers commin up hes all talkin to me liking me and stuff.. I wanna ask him myself (my best friend offered to but i want to do it myself) i just need help on what i should say and if i should! please help..

This may not be what you want to hear, but it sounds to me like you may be misreading him.
If he likes you, it seems like he would make more of an effort to hang out with you during the school year, not just during the summer.
I used to misinterpret guys a lot when I was younger. I'm not saying this is your case, but there's a good chance.
If you like him, ask him out on a date. It won't kill you to ask right? Ask him to the movies and try holding his hand to see how he reacts. Sometimes, guys need to be provoked just a little if you want them to tell you what you want to know. ;)

Good luck!

What do women really want from a guy? What will make a girl want you so badly it hurts?

It depends on the girl. If you're wanting to attract a specific girl, you need to get to know her and what she likes because there really isn't one good answer to that question.

Best of luck!

WHATS A GOOD AT HOME PRODUCT YOU CAN USE TO GET RID OF PIMPLES/BLACKHEADS QUICKLY?

Just for every day face cleaning, I use Clean & Clear face wash and astringent twice a day. For blackheads, I use clearail blackhead clearing pads. You can find them at the drugstore. If you use the blackhead pads, DON'T use anything else because it could cause your face to break out even worse.

Also to even prevent pimples, it's a good idea to make sure your pillow covers are always kept clean, as well as your phone (especially if you use it a lot like i do). Try not to touch your face too much with dirty hands.

Hope that helps, honey. Good luck.

i have thin/medium thick hair and i have no idea what to do with it! its naturally curly but it turns out frizzy so i usually end up straightening it and that takes a while.. can anyone IM me on AIM/AOL with any suggestions on what to do, then explain how to do them? i'm on all AIM the time so dont worry about me not being on.. my sn is xXxHaRtBrOkN5xXx thanks!! (it would be easier to IM me and tell me the hairstyles, but if you dont have AIM/AOL just leave it on here! thanks!)

Two words, babe: Frizz Ease. Check out your drugstore, they have serum, shampoo and conditioner that'll help make your hair less frizzy.
Also, after washing, use a moisturizing conditioner. I'd suggest sectioning your hair, applying the conditioner to each section and rubbing it in really well using your hands. When you're done with that, toss on a plastic cap for about 10 minutes, and rinse really well.
Oe try using soft pillow covers on your bed pillows (satin, silk, etc). Cotton and polyester pillow covers can make your hair frizzy sometimes too.

I have this friend who i have known for whole life..... we r the same age but i am in a higher grade(long story) also i moved away from the town we lived in together and i hang out with people that are older and she is jealous of my best friend but shes sooo immature to me and i try to act myself but i she isnt into it and she is weird to me.....i love her sooo much she is on of my best friends what do i do?

As people grow older, people grow apart. People change. As tough as it may be, it might be time to separate yourself from her.
That doesn't mean you should just up and ditch her. That's an awful thing to do. Maybe just slowly separate. If you don't feel you have anything in common with, why would you try to hang out with them?

Ok, I know that this is a really dumb question, but I'm gonna ask anyways.

I went out with this guy for about 5 months. We broke up for a while (about 6 months), and now we are back together.

While we were broken up, I hooked up with a friend's friend from out of town. My boyfriend doesn't know him, and there is an outside chance that they will one day meet, but I'm not all that worried about that.

For some reason which I can't explain even to myself, I feel as if I should tell my boyfriend. I don't feel guilty about the hookup, because, well, we were apart. I guess I just feel that he should know. But I don't want to mess anything up in between us.

So... to tell or not to tell... that is the question? (Sorry for the cliche, I couldn't resist.)

Personally, I wouldn't tell him until asked. Why take a chance on upsetting him? Granted, there's nothing for him to be upset about, but he may take it the wrong way, anyway.
If your time apart were to come up in conversation and he were to ask, I think it would be the time to tell him. But not before.
