How do you know when you love someone?

You know when you love someone when you always feel nervous and awkward around the person you like and you get a weird feeling throughout your body. You always think about this person and you always want to talk or spend a lot of time with them. It's sort of hard to explain but trust me, you know when you love someone.

well whenever this kid i like, matt, stands near me or walks by i always feel like i have to be talking to one of my friends. what does this mean?

This could mean a few things. For one, your mind wants you to let this guy think that you have friends so you always talk to one of your friends when you are near this guy. It could also mean that you are really nervous when you are around him so you want to talk to someone.

is it stupid for me to want to impress a guy by wearing a skirt and do my hair good? i mean i really like him and i really wanna impress him. also, do u know of anything else i can do to impress him?

It's not stupid at all for you wanting to impress a guy by wearing a skirt and trying to look good and such. Just don't go too far when you are trying to impress this guy. If you know what this guy is interested in like his favorite band, sports team, and so on, you can try to talk about them in front of your friends when he is around and he'll notice that and will probably strike up a conversation with you. Just don't wear clothes that are revealing because you don't want this guy to get the wrong impression of you, right?

Can you get pregnant by swallowing guys cum? I known it sounds stupid but i need to know. Also what are other words for cum?

No, you can't get pregnant by swallowing cum but you can get STD's. If you could, I could only imagine how many girls would be pregnant where I lived. Another word for cum is semen.

people told me about squats and lunges for toning legs.. what are those? please explain..

plus.. spring break is a week and a half. i want to get up every morning, weight lift a little, stretch, and go walking. approx. how long should i fast walk, to tone my legs, how far, and how fast will it work?

i need to look better in a swimsuit in other words, please respond fast, ill rate high!!

To learn how to do squats, go to http://toneteen.com/exercises/legs_squats.htm and to learn how to do lunges, go to http://toneteen.com/exercises/legs_lunges.htm. I would tell you how to do each of the exercises myself, but it would be confusing. Start off doing a little bit and gradually increasing your sets. Just do 2 sets of 10 of each exercise when you start. Don't do that many exercises in one day or your legs will become really toned and you will see muscle. Just do this at a normal pace. Go to this link to learn how to other leg exercises: http://toneteen.com/fitness/legs.htm.

Ok, I have a b.f. in Arkansas, and we met once and i really love him. He has no email, and i can't call guy's. I don't know if we should still be together or not. I mean i've only had fealings for him, out of all the boys i've met, which iz like three. Wat should i do. I love him.

HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP

I rate 5's for anyone who reply's
Thanx

If you love him, then stay with him. Even though you two aren't communicating that much, you can make this relationship stronger somehow. Try writing letters to each other and tell him to call you. If you have only had feelings for him out of all the guys you've met, then stay with him.

there are 2 guys that like me and one is very outgoing but he can be rude sometimes but he loves me and then the other guy is very sweet but he is quiet. which one should i go for???

Your best bet is to probably go for the very sweet and quiet guy because he may be different, once you two are together and he's probably more reliable and great to hang out with. Everyone changes and this guy will. I wouldn't go with the very outgoing and rude guy because you don't deserve a guy like that who is rude. If you still can't decide who to choose, then make a list of the pros and cons of each and hang out with each of them more often and you will then be able to choose one.

i like someone and i do everything i know to get his attention. i flirt and wear cute outfits and try to stand out in the classes i have with him. what am i doing wrong? what else can i do?

You aren't doing anything wrong, you are just trying too hard to get this guy to notice and most guys don't like that. Just be yourself, that's all. Impressing someone won't get you anywhere so you just need to try to talk to him more and get to know him better.

I was going out with brian but he randomly wouldnt call me and my computer was broken. so i asked him online when i was at my friends and he was like im sorry i forgot. (mostly because he smokes everyday, i smokebut not to the pointwhere he forget and everyday) we wopul hangout on sundays and it sucked, i didnt want to hangout with someone once a week when he lives down the street. but hes different, hes the only guy im shy around, i dont know why. but he called me friday and told me he couldnt hangout because he was going to his friends. he called me latr and told me he went to the mall (why couldnt he of asked me?) so he called me saturday morning and said hed call me later to hangout he did but said he couldnt because his parents were out ( why couldnt he ask me over) so i sad my mom culd pick him up and stuff and he didnt seem intrested and was like lets just hangout tomorrow so i was like no, its not working, sorry an he said alright. he goes to my friends school so he was like i really like her i dont know why she dumped me so i talked to him yesteday and h was like ell i cant ay i liked you a wicked lot because we didn really talk alot but i dontknow why im so shy around you but i definetly like you an what i know s far, so i uess we're going back out. what can i say to tell him i dont like how he smokes so muc and we need to hangout more? and how can i not be so shy and what should i say on the phone? thank you

Wow, you definitely need to talk to your boyfriend because you don't deserve what he's doing to you. Tell him that he needs to start making time for you and that not hanging out with him is ruining your relationship with him. Tell him to include you in his plans. About his smoking habit, you just need to tell him that you don't like it when he smokes, since it makes him smell and he may get some kind of health problem in the future if he doesn't quit. Ask him who's more important: you or smoking? If you don't want to be shy around him, just think that he is just like your friends and be yourself. That's all you have to do.

ok well if i put like icons or pictures on my livejournal but i dont like that people could save/copy the images so is there a code that i can put in or whatever like that when you left click to copy/save it wont let them? i know there is and i have a site with one but it didnt work. Please help. I`ll rate high. -thanks ` ash

EDIT: Here's a code that disables the Image Toolbar of your pictures: [img src="URL" galleryimg="no"]
Replace the [ and ] with < and >. You just need to enter galleryimg="no" in all of your picture codes and people won't be able to sace or copy your pictures.

The code that Sherry has mentioned will work but here's one that will disable the highlight, right click, and drag on your site, which is even better: [ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false" oncontextmenu="return false"] Replace the [ and ] with < and >.

Most codes don't work on Live Journal sometimes so that's why they aren't working for you.

ok well i want to lose weight with out going to the gym or anything becuase im to young! im a 13/female. i rate 5's! plzz help!

If you want to lose weight, then you need to do the following three things: eat healthy, watch how much you eat, and exercise daily. If you have a slow metabolism, start eating 5 small meals one day and 3 big meals the next day and so on. This will speed up your metabolism, making you lose weight when you exercise. Eat low carb and calorie foods and start drinking tons of water. Start exercising by doing cardio such as jump roping, running in place, kick-boxing, taebo, and so on. Here is a link to a site that has exercises for each parts of your body: http://www.toneteen.com. Remember, it takes a while to see results so don't expect to lose 15 pounds in 4 weeks. If you need anything else, just ask!

well, ive been thinking about running every morning this spring break, because i dont have anything to do so i mind as well stay in shape.

i want to run every morning, but i dont want to lose weight, i want to lose how i LOOK, like my legs. my mom said that if you walk fast, a couple miles, it will tone your legs and butt, make them tighter, and better looking in a swimsuit. is this true? if not what workouts can i do to make them betteR? thanks so much, i rate!

Yes, your mom is right and walking fast will tone and tighten your legs and butt. You can also do leg lifts, squats, and lunges for exercises but I don't know any workouts at this moment.

I use to love to read and get lost in it. now I jsut can't seem to becouse my mind keep wondering off, i can't seem stay fucus to read.. how i get my intress back?

To get your interest of reading books back, you just need to pick out your favorite book from the library and read it there or read it at a quiet place. This will help and once you get used to reading, your interest will come back. Start reading books from your favorite author.

Does anyone know any websites that tell you how much you're supposed to weigh at a certain age? if you do please give it to me!! thanks

Well, I know http://www.am-i-fat.com (I'm not calling you fat, that's the name of the site) had some but I'm not sure if they still have them. If you ever do find a website, they aren't accurate, since everyone's body shape and form and genes are different so everyone will weigh differently at the same age and so on. If you truely want to know how much you are supposed to weigh at your age, you should talk to your doctor and you'll get your answer.

i want grow little more, i know its naturel but i feel like there is something help u grown little.. there is i know anybody knows

I have never heard of a pill or any other medicine that will make you grow. There is probably a pill but your doctor probably wouldn't let you go on it. Don't worry, you will grow. My friend was 4'11" last year and now she is taller than me. It's not your fault that you grow at different paces as other people. You will grow, you just need to wait.

Whenever i shave i get ingrown hairs ... how do you prevent them?

If you want to prevent yourself from getting ingrown hairs when you shave, you need to use a good razor such as from Venus or Gilette and use shaving cream. Just shave slowly and in the direction that your hair grows in and apply lotion or aftershave when you are done. The main key is to just shave slowly with a good razor.
