there is this guy at my school and i like him and im not sure if he likes me but everytime im around him he ALWAYS looks at me even if i walk by.. and i really wanna know how i can start talking to him more and him talking to me bc when hes around me hes really shy and doesnt talk but when i see him around other people he always talks so my 2 questions are..

1. Does he like me/how can i find out if he does

2. How can i get him not to be shy/talk to him more/him to talk to me more

Thanks SOOOO much.. I rate 5's for good advice

1. I think he has a serious thing for you. How many other guys do you know look at you everytime you pass? You could get one of your friends to smoothly ask him what he thinks about you. If you don't feel comfotable about doing that, you can ask one of his buddies to ask him about it.

2. If you make the first move and talk to him first, he is more than likely going to start talking to you more. Ask him for a pen/pencil to use during class, or for a homework assignment. Once you get that down and you're comfortable with asking him questions/talking to him indirectly try saying hi once in a while like you pass by in the halls. He's probably going to soften up a bit and be more relaxed around you.

Ok i kinda like this girl, but the problem is shes moving away in a little over a month. im planning on asking her out, but im wondering what she will expect to happen at the end of the month. she cant stay, i cant go with her, and i dont know if im ready for a long distance relationship. if it matters shes not moving accross the globe or anything, about a 4 hour drive. so, mostly for the girls, what is she gonna expect to happen? im 18/m shes 19/f.

You've probably heard this before, but I'm going to tell you again. Take risks. I bet you she is willing to risk a lot to be with you. Long distance relationships are only hard if you make them. Make this as easy as a relationship with a girl who is down the street. She's going to expect a lot out of you if you go through with this relationship. She's going to want more attention over the phone because she will rarely get to see you. I don't quite understand what you mean by what will she expect, but I know she will expect more from you than a regular relationship will. Take risks because you will miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Ok, so right now I'm the "new kid" at my school, and making friends seems harder than I thought it would be. Everybody already has their little cliques and everything from last year, and it's so much harder for me to meet new people when nobody is intrested in getting new friends. Since the begining of the year I have acted really shy, just because I guess I still haven't really moved on from my friends from my school last year. I also just made cheerleading for my school, so I also need to start getting to know the hirls on my squad too. So basically I am asking for some tips on how to be more outgoing and really get to be able to express mydelf and meet people. Thanks in advance!

You've got to force yourself the first few times when your trying to be outgoing. Force yourself to say HEY in the hallways to one of the girls on your cheerleading squad. Once you make friends with them, they are bound to introduce you to their friends. Don't be part of a clique because you want to be more open to more people and not labeled. Ask someone in your math or Language class what the homework is, or ask for a peice of paper whenever you need it so they know you're not THAT shy. Once you get over the fear of talking with new people, meeting new friends will be a breeze. Remember; be yourself and not somebody else. Your true friends will like you for you.

i feel like when I get pushed around, I'm too scared to stand up for myself and I just ignore what happenes.Also I'm kinda short and also white.Where I live most people are different races and believe they are tougher than a small little white girl...how do i be more assertive witout being a bitch?I just want to be able to defend myself.

Don't fight back by yelling or cussing them out. Why cuss when you could use nicer and more kind words? Maybe when they pick on you, you might tell them you didn't appreciate that and ask them to stop. Yes, it's corny, but there isn't much more you can do without being violent. If this doesn't stop, try talking with your teacher or the principal. Remember; you can defend yourself with words not violence.

Garsh- I sound like some political lunitic.. WORLD PEACE!

thanks it makes me feel alot better knowing that stuff about dreams. i dont even remember dreaming at all, or know if it even happened, she said i just like mumbled it while i was asleep. and i know she told people at our lunch table but its not for sure she told all the other people, because this guy whos not all that trustworthy said she said that. i think im just going to tell her that its stupid and so what if it happened it didnt mean anything, and then hopefully it will blow over. i really need to tell carter that because i certainly dont want his girlfriend (not christina) who he REALLY likes to find this out. i just hope that the school people just get over it. ugh carter just signed on and then got off really quick, it got my hopes up that i would get to set things straight. thanks for the help, youre awesome at advice, and whenever i have crazy insane stuff that freaks me out i will for sure come to you.

Just another thing, you have at least 7 dreams at night and rarely remember any. good luck!! ♥

14/m.. 8th grade
at my school there aren't any girls my type. they are all stuck up and preppy. at the other school i have a lot of friends. i know i would fit in over there. there are so many hott girls that are so fun to be with. whenever i hang out with them i have a great time, but they are at a different school which makes it hard to have relationships. what should i do?

Ha. That's how my school is. All the girls that are boyfriend material are taken leaving very few girls worth liking, but anyway. How far away is the other school? In the same city? If so, this shouldn't be too hard if you see eachother on weekends. When you get into a relationship with a girl from another school it's always harder to trust them because you fear they might cheat on you, and all that does is make the girl unatracted to you. Trust her. Relationshops are all about trust. I think you should go for a girl at the other school because it seems they are more likable girls. Don't go for a girl just for her looks, but her personality. I highly doubt you'd do that, but it's just some friendly advice! Good luck, hope everything works out

hey its me again.. remember with all the tami and carter and christina stuff? well today was really bad. everything has been back to normal for a really long time, until kinda now. i do this weird thing where i talk in my sleep, and supposedly one night a while back (according to tami) i rolled over mumbled and was like "carter do" which you would think itsnt a big deal but today she decides to tell a bunch of people about it at lunch and then a handful of people knew. now supposedly she told a big group of people about it and now its become that i really like him and dreampt that me and him got married and was saying carter i do. im really pissed off and i cant talk to her about it until 6:30 when she gets out of drill team stuff. idk what to do, how do i stop this stupid rumor? (which by the way carter heard and is probably freaked out by because i havent gotten to talk to him yet) what should i say to him about it? and what should i say to tami? i dont want to get in a fight but this is really stupid and it makes me SO mad. why cant people just accept that we're FRiENDS and thats all.

Who knows, you have have been saying multiple things such as. Carter, do you like so and so? It's your dreams, you cannot control them. I have dreams all the time of other boys besides my boyfriend. Not like love dreams, but just like they're in my dreams. And I bet you anything Tami has had dreams of guys too, who hasn't? This rumor? You can't do anything about it but let it pass. If you hear someone whispering about you, you might go up to them and tell them it's unpolite to talk about people behind their backs.

Tami- she's your friend she she started the rumor? That's not very friend-worthy I say. I understand how you don't want to get in a fight, so I might as well scratch off some of my ideas. You might pull her aside and tell her what I said in my first paragraph about how people cannot control their dreams. Tell her, her of all people should know yall are just buds and nothing more. She doesn't seem like she's working hard to keep you as a friend after all she's put you through.

Carter- He doesn't know this isn't true yet? If so, oh my tell him. Tell him Tami twisted your words around and just tell him what you actually said. If you happen to remember your dream from that night, tell him what you actually dreampt. Tell him you still feel the same about him, nothing more and that the whole thing was a mix up and not to worry because you've got it under control :). ♥

well my dads birthday is coming up and im not sure what to get him. hes in his 40s and when we ask him what he wants he always says you dont need to get me anything. i dont want to spend alot of money and i what to get him something that is useful to him. he really likes sports and stuff. i would like to get him something at a local mall or something rather than take him somewhere because im only 15 and can't drive or anything. my max price is around $20.

please help me my dads bday is in less than 2 weeks

This question was asked a few days ago, I assume by the same person, but I'll answer anyway because obviously you didn't take anyone's advice from the last time.

Since he likes football, baseball, hockey, maybe you could get him a jersey. I got one for $15.00 and I'm sure you could find one too. Maybe get him like a special T.V remote holder so when he watches the games he can put it there.

Think creatively and be uniqe!

i have blackheads and i dunno what to do!..i use clean and clear, phisoderm and they both dont work! so i tried clean and clear and that didnt help either!..does anybody know how to help me?!?!?!?

I know your not supposed to do this, but it's the only way I found to work. Take a hot shower because this ill open your pores up. Once you're done taking a shower try and pop the blackhead. Make sure your hands are clean so no bacteria will get in it and make more. Popping it, I know is bad, but all the other products I use don't work. After you get all that gunck out of there, then put the blackhead clean and clear on it so it will prevent blackheads! ♥

im asking this question for my friend...

one year ago, when my friend and her family were away, some little girl was walking through the alleyway. my friend's neighbor's dog is really big and scary, so the little girl ran, and jumped my friend's fence to hide from the dog, and as a result, broke her arm and needed surgery.

one year later, my friend's parents get a letter in the mail saying that they will be getting sued because it happened on their property. IT'S NOT EVEN THEIR FAULT. can they fight against this?

If anything your friend's neighbor should get sued. Your friend's family was away, what could they do about the dog? It's not their dog. If it was it would be a different situation, but since it was someone else's dog it's not their fault. The little girl's family should get sued because the little girl hopped you friend's fence, that's trespassing. So your friend did no wrong and I hope she doesn't get sued and the little girl's parents come to their senses.

Think sentimentally. You can't go wrong. Think of his favorite hobby, fishing, golfing, flying. Anything at all and try and find something that relates to it. My dad likes to fly, so I found a model airplane and made it for him. Yes, it was store bought, but it came from the heart. Be creative! If he likes motorcycles you could get a lego kit, like i did with my dad's present, and make a motorcycle out of it. Anything at all!

Also, you could make him something like a booklet of coupons good for one thing such as cleaning the car, cleaning the house, doing the dishes after dinner, etc. etc. Make 10-15 of them. ♥

Well lets see, theres this guy and i like him alot and we went out before but he broke up with me after like a week, now supposably he likes me again or somethin and i still really like him, but hes 3 years soon to be 4 years older than me and there are plenty of other better looking girls that he knows, and if we were to go back out, who knows what will happen, i guess im tryin to say that im scared of getting hurt, what should i do? what if he doesnt really like me, and i probably like him alot more than he likes me so if he broke up with me if we went out it would be like easy for him and soo hard for me..

You've got to take risks. It seems you took one in the past, but you can't give up on things you love. Take risks and see what happens. Yes, something might happen, but you don't know if it will be more hard on or him. Who knows, maybe your relationship with him will grow, and he'll grow emotionally. What I mean by that is the only girl he will see is you, and you are the only girl he wants to see. Remember you'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Well the thing is...my mate (who iv known for all of my life, n i kinda trust him) fancies my other friend from my school. He wants to set me up with his mate, who sounds a nice enough guy. he wants to meet up, shall i or shall i not? saz x

You should try it, if you don't like him he can't be upset because you never knew him in the first place. You never know what can happen until you try! ♥

sorry me again did i mention that she is like one of my best friends that i like and im afraid if i do something like romantic that i might lose her or she would feel uncomfortable.. please help.. im not that good with relationships. so what should i do, do the same things you mentioned in the other advice?

This question comes up so much now a days. Think to yourself, are you willing to risk a friendship for a possible relationship? You've got to take risks, don't be afraid. If you don't think you or her are ready for an actual relationship, then hold it off for a while, but in the mean time try and hint to her that you like her. If she says something about how she wishes she had a boyfriend, or she wants one so bad, then tell her I know someone. Make her guess who the person is who likes her, and it that it's you. Who knows, maybe she feels the exact same way you do! ♥

ok so like im a guy and i like this girl but im not sure what to do because i dont think she likes me and i dont think that there is a way to get her to like me, but i was justwondering if someone would have something to help me out with?! thanks

Uh, slow down first. You can't get a girl to like you if she doesn't at the moment. Try getting her attention, do something sweet, thoughtful, sincere, that you know NO other guy would do for her. Leave a note in her locker, a rose, something that is sincere and you know she will love it. Make her a CD and leave it in her locker and sign it your secret admirer. Make a sweet gesture and I'm sure she'll love it. ♥ Good luck! Hope you get what you want

ok there's this guy at my skool whos been there since the begining of skool, but he started out as one of "the big guys on campus" like kinda cocky and stuff. but like now that its gettin close to summer, it seems like when i see him or hear about him, he's changed. Like from really preppy to skater guy and cocky to nice and he stands up for christ and i respect that alot from a guy! but me, im just like, people know me, im kinda popular, but not like a mean girl u know wat i mean? im not the one all the guys go crazy for. the guy im talkin bout doesnt really pay much attention to me, but i think he's really sweet. wat shood i do? (i rate 5s!) :-) thanks yall

I think you should let him know you like him, not ubrutly, smoothly. Start little by like asking for the assignment or what a math problem answer is, that way he'll know your interested because out of all the guys you see in class, you ask him. Once he gets used to you talking to him about answers and math you can try saying hi in the hallways or something! If he has AOL, try and get a friend to see what he thinks about you. You probably want to do this in person because it's a lot easier to turn down something on AOL than it is in person. Get his s/n and start talking to him. Be respectful and nice, be interesting and interested in what he is saying! ♥

Ohkay, I got an IPOD Mini for Christmas, and I recently got the right computer for it. All of a sudden, when I turn on my ipod, it shows a folder with a "!" inside a triangle. Does anyone know what that means or how to fix it? xO ali

My sister had that happen, it means your files are corrupted. It's not a good thing at all. My sister was unable to fix her's and had to replace it with a new one.

I'm a 16/F... about 5'9 and 142 pounds. I'm trying to lose my flabby stomach. I work out almost every day and am really eating healthy. A few pounds have started to shed off but i'm noticing that my breats are getting smaller as well... which I don't want at all!! Is there a way to tone up my stomach without losing my boobs. This is a serious question... please give me some advice.

Well, the only way you can get rid of the flab on your stomach is good ol sit-ups and crunches. As you get skinnier, your chest might too. There's nothing that you can do about that because as you get bigger, so does you chest and vise versa. So if you really want to get rid of those few extra pounds you need to sacrifice other things.

Sit-ups and crunches>>
Here's a few ways of doing sit ups and crunches.

Bicycle Crunch is where your legs are in the air, parallell to the ground. It's kind of confusing so listen carefully. Take your right leg and pull it toward your leg ear as you sit-up toward it, after the right leg, switch to the left. You do these at a fairly fast pace so do them in large increments.
Here's another effective way of crunches- These burn! When you feel the burn, you know it's working!
Stick you feet up in the air all the way. Touch your ankles, or as far as you can, but go all the way up! Do about 20 of these. Now, put one foot down and do the same thing and then switch legs.
Last one is where you put your feet like in the bicyle one put your going to take one of your feet and pull it toward your face as you are sitting up. Have you done the hokey pokey dance? where you do the "That's what it's all about" thing at the end? well you kind of need to do that! Pull your leg toward you and sit up and clap on the other side of your leg, by the inside of your knee. It's not terribly complicated, but once you get it right it works wonders!
