AH! People on this site who ask for help frustrate me. Not all people do this but several do. Advice is where people from all different points of view give the honest answer they think even if it's brutal. Yet when some people do give honest answers, the questioner, who doesn't like the answer, decides to give a 1 for not getting a sugar coated answer. If we all said "Yeah, you're right, this and that" blah blah than those arn't advice...so I guess I'm asking why do people do that and is there any way to clarify to people that advice is not always sugar coated and that giving a 1 because they don't like the answer is just a;skljga;lkjg?

it is lame when people give nice answers sometimes.
Especially when it's only for the ratings.
I personally, don't care what
my ratings are. I answer the questions
I mean isn't that what people are here for?
to get honest help.
I mean fi you don't want to hear the truth
shouldn't people not be on this site?

but I think you do have a good point with this..

I like this kid paul and he likes me back, but we aren't going out. what are things i can do to get him to like me more and ask me out?

Why not ask him out?
if he likes you, he'll say yes, right?
or have a friend hint it to him, like
hey why don't you ask so-so out, she'll say yes.

i got an ipod nano for christmas


but i dont know how to transfer the music on my itunes to my ipod.

and i also heard that you can put music from myspace onto your itunes account, but i dont know how.


detailed steps are necessary.

merry christmas!!

if you already have music in iTunes, just plug your iPod in.

if you need to get music from myspace..
+ go to a myspace
+ click download
+ click save

+ go to iTunes
+file - import
+ find the file where you saved your music and click the song title.

**also, I usually put the songs I get from myspace on a cd, becasue if you delete the files of the song, the song won't play.

any more help hit up my inbox


hope this helps though

so i just got a new nano for christmas. i already have itunes + like 500 songs on my computer because i have a mini from 2 years ago. if i plug my nano into the computer, will it automatically work with the itunes & songs i already have?? if not how do i get it to work? thanks

when you plug it in you should get a pop up that says soemthing along the lines of, 'this ipod is linked to a different itunes library, would you like to transfer to this library' or soemthing..click yes and it should all go onto your new iPod :DD

hope it helps

this isn't a question, it's a request-but please don't delete it.
Can people please stop finishing every answer with "hope i helped" obviously you hope you helped, and whether you say that or not doesn't change whether you actually DID help. please, for everyones sake just answer the question!

i personally just do it to be nice..and i don't know why you post something about it when it dosen't concern you..but we do it casue we mean it..i mean I hope I helped this person..I mean we're not just going to say some stupid answer and not let them know we're trying to help..sorry we're not super lame on here, kay? and just to let you KNOW::
++++don't complain about it..cause this only makes people want to do it more! really, it does.
i hope this helps you stop trying to control other people whom you don't even know =]

I stumbled across this site by accident. I seriously doubt many of you have the qualifications to give real people proper advice. After reading some of your responses to people's inquiries i was quite astonished as to how teenagers find they are able to give quality advice and information to real people in need with such little life experience. If you ask me you are not in a place to give your "personal opinion" when people truly believe you are giving them the right answer simply because you claim "people think i give really good advice". (eg. i am still at a loss as to how a 17 year old girl thinks she can give advice to someone regarding conceiving a child) I know you try to come across as a "godsend" to poeple who are in some sort of personal crisis and need a fast easy answer but the truth is, in the cases where it really counts, there rarely is one; at least not from you.

if people didn't want an opinion or help, they woudln't be on this site.
And you know what?
so what if we don't give the best advice all the time.
At least we TRY.

no..they just tell you to do this stuff to check your spine, pee in a cup, and what not.


it's no big deal..don't be nervous :]

Okay, so I went out with this kid for three months, and in the beginning things went really well. I was constantly smiling and he couldn't make me happier. The last two months however, everything got rocky, we began to fight non stop until finally he dumped me. Later he realized he had made a mistake and came back wanting to go out. I was over him...but decided to give it another shot. Then more fighting...to the point where he didn't even bother hugging me or telling me he cared. So WE both made the decision to break up. (He views it as I dumped him) But he was fine. Completely. Three days later he was totally OVER me. As in could care less where I sit or go, and he's totally and completely happy! I was asking him if we could go oput again and he said No. The worst part is we were really close before going out and it seems we've lost it all because it was our first relationship and we screwed up. && all I want is a second chance to prove what we have can overcome what happened.

I would start off by talking to him.
explain that you still care and want to be friends.
don't pressure him into more than friends.

try reaching friend status :]
then maybe hang out and get closer, but not too close.

hope it helps
need more help..ask anytime :D
