Im going to a Halloween event at the local amusement park on friday with two of my friends, Mike and Anna. I have a huge crush on Mike and I want to take advantage of friday and show him that im interested in him. how do i do this without being obvious? i want to show that im interested but at the same time i dont want to come on too strong and be annoying. also im not sure if he likes me back so is there anyway to tell? we get along great and talk a lot. (link)
Ok well here is some stuff you can do. Smile when he looks at you and eye contact. Just don't stare...you might freak him out. When you are talking to him, look down and smile so he will notice you enjoy talking to him. If he says something funny, tell him. Strike up conversations, actually listen to what he has to say. Most guys like it when a girl is a good listener. You can also compliment him if you want. Here is another thing...Flirt! Just don't be like all over him and too strong with that. You can laugh at his jokes, tease him but don't be mean, touch his arm, and a little bit of playfulness. Also you can try and joke around with him. So I hope this did help and good luck!


How do I stop looking and going to my currently exs house??cause were not together and I'm depressed so how do I stop looking for him he lives in the mext street we were 2gether for 8 months it was a serious mature relationship..I felt he was cheating on me since he started working in burger king..and everytime I go 2 his house he says some hurtful thing help 16 f houston,tx (link)
It takes time to get over a guy. So that's what your gonna have to do. Just try and meet new guys and make some new friends you can hang out with. Hang out with your friends too so you can get your mind off him. Go and do different things. If he says hurtful things to you when you go over there you shouldn't even waste your time. Just try and do different things. Thats all I can say.


So it seems like latley, instead of worrying about school ( which i am.) I'm worrying about my Ex-BFF.

We drifted apart this summer.
Like; No talking at ALL- which i really dont know what happened..

Maggie (exbff) and me alllways hung out. We were such good friends. Lets say we werrre attached by the shoulders.

But, this summer; I kind of got fed up with her. How much she changed. I can't stand it, I meen I see her on myspace and I hear about her from my other bestfriend ( who hangs out with maggie more then I do. ALOT MORE) and I get ... annoyed? In a way I want to be still friends with her, but then I see her and I'm like " UGH!" . I dont know it's so confusing! And now that school is going to start, I really dont know what to do. I'm mad because we drifted apart, and I'm mad at her for that. I meen she goes across the street to my other friends house, and never comes and sees what I'm up to?


okay so, yeah I dont know exactly what I'm feeling- that's where the confusing part comes in.

But I need help with how to deal with it in school. How much shes changed with her new "bff" and how to show her that I've been GREAT without her, instead of talking about the stupid Old times. you know what I meen? even though I have been great.

But Not seeing her this summer took a whole load off; lets just say I was STRESS FREE! ahha.
So yeah- things do happen for a reason; I became much better friends with my other friends who I hang out with mostly everyday..

Now to deal with it in school 24/7; help? (link)
Forget about her. Thats how my old friend and I was. I mean we are still friends but we are not as close as we use to be. The only way to show her that you have been great is to find new people. It will show if you are happy with them. She will notice. People change, there isn't much you can do about that. Another thing to do is to talk to her about it. Maybe she will see what is going on. She may not realize it because she found another friend which is not bad at all. But she could be excited about that and so caught up in what they do. But if things don't work out try not to start fighting. Maybe just say hi walking by her. But try to make some new friends. Don't hold a grudge either. I've been through that and you don't want to be there. So don't be mean about it just work it out and if not just be friends. And find some new friends. Good luck!

so there's this guy that i met at a camp about a month ago, but he lives almost 2000 miles away. Because of money, we wouldnt be able to visit each other ever, so I decided we couldnt have a real relationship.
The problem is, we still talk on the phone almost every night for several hours. I enjoy his company and all, but I cant continue this because I just wont have the time. But hes homeschooled, so he has absolutely no experience in the love department. Hes become very attached, and i dont want to hurt him because i still like him, we just couldnt work out.

How do I slowly detach myself without hurting his feelings or totally losing contact? (link)
Your just gonna have to tell him. Just let him know that you guys can't work out because of how far you guys live. Just let him know that you still want to be friends but that it can't be more than that because of where you guys live. The only way he will know is if you tell him. Let him know you do still care about him but that it wouldn't work out. Hopefully he will be understanding and will accept that. Good luck!

So, just a few questions.

Where are places I can go to meet guys, other than school?

How do I go about approaching them in different situations?

What can I do to make hot, single guys more likely to approach me?

How can I attract older guys?

Thanks, xxx (link)
Ok you can meet guys anywhere. Everywhere you go you can meet guys. They are everywhere. I think you should smile, girls look the best when they smile and show confidence. But I think things start off as friends and go from there. I think you should try to make friends with the guy first before you try to make all this stuff happen. Watch yourself too. Some guys out there are pigs, I mean seriously. Thats why you need to know the guy. Just try to look nice too. It will help. Good luck!


15/m

I'm about to go into my sophomore year in highschool (in 2 days) and I'm 15 years old. I haven't ever had a girlfriend in my life. People call me pathetic and I get made fun of and taunted because of it. I used to be picked on a lot and such by people. I recently got into Martial Arts classes and I'm joining a JROTC program (an army reserve program) to help out with my leadership abilities some. There's this girl names Rachael who's one of my best friends. She's also in JROTC and is similar to me in almost every way. The reason I haven't been with anyone is because I haven't found anyone willing to hold a relationship nor have I found someone into everything I am....I've never felt this way about anyone, and I think I love her. We've been friends since Freshman year and I really like her....but I don't have any clue as to what to do about it. I'm not shy or anything, but I just don't want my heart broken.

Advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Lots of people get picked on because of things like that. First thing, forget about them. Who cares what people think? Of course I do, we are all human, but we shouldn't care. Honestly when ever I have gotten picked on, I just had to blow it off. When we are older we probably won't see half those people again. This girl you like, thats cute. I think you should talk to her, and maybe flirt a little and see what happens. Don't go too fast. Nobody wants their heart broken. Things happen. I'm just being honest. There can be something that might happen that might break you. You will live through it. But there is a chance for the two of you. You will never know unless you try. You don't want to go forever wondering if you had done that, what would've happened. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!


how do you know when you love someone? (link)
You will know when you love someone. When you like someone its a crush, nothing big. When you love someone you want to live your life with them and would never leave them. If that person you think you are in love with (I'm not saying you are, Just an example) ever changed, as in got fat, ugly or something like that. And you still have the same feelings for them. That is also love. Its committing yourself to them. But trust me, you will know when you love someone.


Hi, it's the summer time and two years ago I wrote a guy a letter telling him how I feel and he responded three months later over that very summer. We talked it seemed because his friend suggested it, and his friend said he was interested, he may have been lying. We talked for a week and maybe two days. Afterwards, never again. I got back to school and I couldn't even look him in the eye. He and I both would avoid eye contact and never spoke over 10 words to one another. Now he has a girlfriend. I want him to be happy. I spent most of my summer not thinking of him, but afraid when the time came for me to return to school that the feelings would return. I saw him 4 days ago and I felt a jolt when our eyes met for a heartbeat. I'm afraid and I feel pathetic, which I am kind of. I don't want to like him. I want to be over him. But how do I handle these residual feelings that keep returning? (link)
Yeah its hard. Ok I will tell you the truth, there are plenty guys out there. Even if we do like one, doesn't mean they are the right ones for us. Try to meet new guys. There may be something still there, you need to overcome that because this guy might not be the right one for you. You do want to get over him, just try and find new guys. You could have this feeling but he may or may not. You can never be sure. There isn't much you can do with him since he has a girlfriend. You do want him to be happy, and you should be happy too. Go out there and meet some guys. Good luck!


I am thirty years old and have never made anything higher than 13 an hour. I am currently going to school and I have also been married for 8 years. My wife is unhappy with her job, and so I am helping her get a better one. I am facing foreclosure, possible job loss, and was recently in an accident where I may be getting sued. Unless I finish school or get a higher paying job, I face divorce and worse. I have been contemplating suicide, and would like to know what would be the most painless, and easiest way to go about doing it. I don't want any religious answers because I am so far from God right now, he couldnt find me if he had a compass. I am tired of struggling, I just want rest. (link)
I think you know that we aren't going to give you answers on committing suicide. Ok we all struggle. Sometimes more than others. Lots of people have been through the same thing. Its really hard. Suicide isn't the answer. Its the worst possible answer ever. Ok I know you didn't want anything that had to do with God but just to say, he is always going to be there no matter how far you are away from him. Well everything happens for a reason. You should find some help with your financial and maybe get some help with your marriage. There are people out there and they do want to help. You just aren't asking for it. Its really hard. I hope you can make it through this without having to deal with suicide. Good luck!


So basically, I'm still in love with my ex. He broke up with me because he 'couldn't handle a relationship', and then ended up hooking up with a few girls over the summer. He also started hanging out with Sally a lot more before and after the break up, and he said he did 'notice' her while we were dating. Now, he's still seeing this girl, and he likes her because she is 'nice, sweet, cute, and funny'. But then he tells me he enjoys spending time with me more than with her.

I feel kinda pathetic, but I want him back. And I really don't know how to go about it at this point.
So, I guess the question is: Is he gonna choose her when the time comes? and if so, How do I prevent that, if possible? (link)
Well this guy said at first that he couldn't handle a relationship. Can he handle it now? I don't think he is worth your time. Thats just my opinion. He is gonna keep bouncing back and forth with these girls. So he says Sally is nice, sweet, cute and funny. And now he enjoys spending time with you? If you guys get together, what makes you think he won't say the same thing about her. If he does choose her, forget about it. There is the right guy for you and this guy might not be it. He he comes crawling back to you, its your choice. But what kind of guy is this? Its your call. Good luck!


Okay I was just wondering what different theories everyone has about the universe, life, the possibility of other universes, and other such truths that people are constantly in the search of. In other words, why are we here? What is out there? What happens after death, and before life? (link)
I have thought that before. Its hard for us to think of this beyond the universe. I don't think we are capable of that. I believe in God, I believe that after we die we go to heaven unless you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as our savior. And if you haven't I believe that they go to the lake of fire. (I don't exactly know if I can say the real word?) I also believe that God creates us just the way we are and has our whole life planned out for us. I don't exactly know what to say about what happens before life. These questions are hard to think of because its beyond us. Its like we live in a little bubble and can't go farther out and we can't know what happens beyond that bubble. That was an example. I honestly don't think we live in a bubble. lol. But thats basically what I think.


14/f

me and my brother, who is 16, are REALLY close. Like we can talk about anything with each other. Well, he has a girlfriend, and despite his age, he says they are in love. And I believe it. They said they are going to get married when they get older. We were talking about it and my brother said something about how she might be pregnant. I was like "WOOAHH WHAT!?!?" and he explained that they do have unprotected sex a lot and stuff. So we were talking about that and then he said, "well if she is, her dad will probably think it's his". Then he went on to tell me something he hasn't told anyone. He said her dad sexually abuses her monthly and her step mom doesn't know because her step mom is literally crazy. Really, her step mom has some kind of disorder or something, so she's not normal. My brother is EXTREMELY upset about the fact that pretty much all the kids in their house are abused like this but he can't do anything about it. He said that if they told, she could go into foster care since she's only 17 and be taken away from him. I am really worried about him. He has numerous mental problems and she has committed suicide 4 times. I know if they are ever seperated, she'd probably kill herself and he'd probably go back to drugs. I know this shouldn't be any of my business, but I can't help but feel I need to do something. I just want to get her and her siblings out of the house but I just don't know what to do. Please help me! This girl's life is terrible and I would hate to think what's going to happen if she is pregnant! Help! (link)
Ok yeah, I think you should tell someone. Thats the thing you need to do. Even if your brother and his girlfriend are in love, you need to do something. And that something is telling an adult. If her father is doing that to her then why should she be there? Just to be with your brother? I know they love each other but if your brother really does, he needs to understand that she needs help and needs to tell someone about this. This could ruin both of their lives if you don't tell anyone. His girlfriend isn't the only one who needs help. If he goes back on drugs he needs help. Love if hard. But you have to make sacrifices. I understand he would be upset but the environment she is in, is not good at all and she NEEDS to be away from there. Even if that does mean leaving your brother. I hope everything works out.


We havent gone out for very long but all of a sudden hes all lovey dovey on me. it feels like yesterday he was my friend but now hes kissing me all of a sudden. He likes to be affectionate but I don't quite feel comfortable just yet. What do I do?? (link)
Tell him. Tell him your aren't comfortable doing that yet. You can either tell him before any of that happens or during it. Like if he tries to kiss you just tell him then or tell him before you guys go somewhere or hang out. Thats an easy way to let a guy know you aren't ready. The guy will understand if he does care about you. He will wait till you are ready. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!


so i hung out with this guy i like a few days ago. we went for a walk by ourselves and he put his arm around me and we basically stayed with each other the whole night. i know he likes me alot. but the thing i don't understand is how come he didn't kiss me? it seems like with all my friends, they meet a guy a day, then the second or third time they hang out they're already like making out and stuff...is there a reason why hes moving so slow?

14/f (link)
All guys are different. Maybe he thought that he would be moving too fast or that you weren't ready, or sometimes the case is he might not be ready. So I suggest you give him some signs and maybe he might get the hint. Good luck!


ok I'm really good friends with this girl and she went out with this guy for a year and like 2 weeks ago they broke up but I didn't find out until yesterday my friends say it just happened well I've liked her for a while and I want to take our friendship to the next level she's showed feelings towards me before they broke up but how long should I wait to start 'talking' (link)
I think you should wait a little longer. Its pretty soon especially if she dated this guy for a year. You should hang out with her more and you guys can become more closer. Then you can probably tell when she is over this guy and might be looking for a new one. But of course I don't know this girl and it might take her awhile to be ok or it might just happen like that. I still say you should wait a little bit. I hope everything works out for you!


i have layered longish- mediumish hair

and i wanna know what are some good nice elegant hairstyles to curl it?


coz its hard if my hair has layers it'll look a lil bit of like not what i want know what i mean?










anyone send me pics? :] that wud be greeeeeat. (link)
Try doing spirals, its really cute. I also love flipping my hair. Its layered too and it looks really cute. Flip the ends of your hair and all the layers. It will look adorable. Or kinda do a half curl. Like curling it more at the bottom than the whole thing. Good luck!


What do guys find attractive in a female not only in the way she looks but also the way we act what kind of personality and what kind of personalities do lots of men dislike? (link)
All guy are different. So just be yourself. Don't change for what guys like. A guy will like you for who you are. You see women grown up and married, and all those women are different. So that means every single guy likes a girl for a different personality. No one is the same. So basically, don't worry about that. Trust me, be yourself, don't change.


hey so im starting school soon and i'd really like to loose some weight before then. does anyone have some easy diets or something i could try? (: (link)
I would say just eat right and exercise. Eat 3 meals a day, and make sure to run, walk or any other exercise. If your hungry between meals, then get a healthy snack. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and stuff like that. No junk. Also try doing sit ups. Trust me, they help. Just keep doing this for awhile and then it will start showing. Also make sure to drink plenty of water. You can also play basketball, swimming or other sports. Just try to stay active. Good luck!


17/f

I don't believe that my dreams can predict what will happen, but I am slightly concerned right now. The night before last I had a dream about death then had many 'signs' of death occuring yesterday. I spoke to my friend about it telling her how weird it seemed. Just now I found all of the baby birds and their mother that live in my carport dead.

I think these situations are unrelated. However, should I be worried? Last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights I had very clear dreams about terrorist attacks on the HSBC Celebration of Light (fireworks) in Vancouver. I do not usually remember my dreams but I did when I woke up in the mornings last week on those three days.

I plan on going to these fireworks tomorrow night. I shouldn't take my dream too seriously, right? As of now I still plan on going but after the death of the birds I am wondering if I should stay home. (link)
I think its a coincidence. Don't take it too seriously. Have you been thinking about death or something similar for the past few days? If so, then that could explain why you keep having these dreams. Thats how I am. Whenever I think about stuff like that, I end up dreaming about it. Maybe you have some stuff to work out too. Just don't take this too seriously. I think you'll be fine. Good luck!


hi, im starting high school in 4 weeks and i want to loose a lot of weight before the first day. I know it might seem impossible but i want to loose like around 20 pounds. Does anyone have any easy dieting plans? (: (link)
I don't think you'll be able to loose 20 pounds in 4 weeks. You should try to take it a little slower. Try to loose 20 pounds from now to somewhere during the school year. Just try eating healthy. Eat 3 meals a day, and if you want snacks. Make sure they are healthy snacks. If you want to slim down try running, walking or doing some other exercises. Drink lots of water and avoid soda. So good luck and I hope everything works out for you.
