about

alright so i take back the fact that im done with this advice column. but im just letting everyone one here know that i do have a life, and advicenators is not it. however, im here to help. i just wont be on every single day.

advice

ok well i like my best friend. and we are cool and all i mean we have all these inside jokes and he is really sweet and all. just a little background. i used to like him. he didnt like me back/ didnt want a gf. so i kinda got over him and let him know i didnt like him anymore. after that i guess i just started liking him again. then after that i guess we got even closer as friends.
well i do like him and all but find it very difficult to believe that he likes me back. the reason is that i find it hard to trust his clues. he can be very misleading like he led me on once already and i dont want that again. also lately he has been starting to annoy me. like whenver i hang out with him he will say stupid things and i just roll my eyes and laugh. and he sometimes just clings onto me too much. i am suppposed to like that. but for some reason he sometimes comes off as annoying and clingy. how can i change that? i asked my brother. he said its obvious this guy likes you back thats why hes behaving so weird lately. but how can i trust that he really does like me??
i really do like him a lot. its so cute the way his face lights up when he sees me. he yells my name and puts his arms out to hug me. then he puts his arm around me. he always wants to be near me. but this all may be my inagination. trust me i dont want to get hurt. not again. i cant deal with it anymore. i dont want an awkward relatiopnship/friendship with him. i want wats best for both of us.

thank you so much. i really need help on this one!

hey, well i agree with "ammo" below to a point. i think that you should directly ask him how he feels and explain to him what your explaining to us. tell him that he rudely lead you on once and since you really like him you dont want that to happen again. it will make you feel better to get all of your feelings off your chest. also its much better for him to know how you feel. he might be shocked that you like him again and didnt see it coming. so if he reacts weird, give it time. let it sink it before you get all offended. hopefully things work out for you. good luck.

My room is kind of small, its all white, except for one wall that is half lime green and the other half is white. My accent colors are pink and orange, what should i do for my other wall, parallel to the wall that is painted (its striped). maybe really cute polka dots like at victorias secret their walls? well the color paint i have for the walls is the same green, maybe i can get orange or pink or yellow or something cute if i ask but i need ideas!!

hey, i think that all those colors are so busy. you should stick to two colors at the most. example blue walls with yellow borders. too many colors also looks tacky.

This past Saturday Marjorie, her mom, her sister, her brother-in-law and her niece and nephew went out to a beach
town. Marjorie and her brother-in-law are thin, her sister and mom are overweight.When they arrived in town at 1PM
all six of them decided to have lunch. When they were having their meal, Marjorie's sister said to Marjorie "Aren't you
going to finish your eggs?" After they had their meal Marjorie's mom, sister and nephew decided to go to the beach
and sit for awhile. Marjorie's brother-in-law and niece decided to go the lake nearby for a swim. Marjorie decided to
walk around town. Marjorie's brother-in-law said that in an hour or so he would meet Marjorie at a central location
(because Marjorie wouldn't know where everyone else would be due to the fact that her brother-in-law was going to
drive Marjorie's sister, mom and nephew to the beach site and Marjorie wasn't going to be with them). The first time
Marjorie went to the central location her brother-in-law wasn't there, so she checked back 15 minutes later and all
five of them were at the central location. Marjorie had a package in her hand and her mom said to her "What did you
buy?" And Marjorie said she brought her herbs - end of conversation. When Marjorie's sister saw the package
Marjorie's sister asked Marjorie what she brought and when Marjorie told her sister what it was her sister said "Why
do you take it?" Marjorie said "For Menopause/PMS." But her mother said "Marjorie takes it for weight." Then her
sister said "Who else takes it?" And her mother said "Horses take it. " This infuriated Marjorie and she picked a
nasty fight with her mother.Marjorie and her sister had two conversations throughout the day and her sister told
Marjorie both tmes the following: "Just ignore mom when she says things like that, you know why you take the
herbs, you don't need anyone else to tell you why you take them. You don't need anyone's approval. It is like
if I asked you what you think of this blouse I am wearing and you said you don't like it, I know I do and that is
all what matters." MY QUESTION: LETS SAY YOU WERE MARJORIE WOULD YOU CARE WHAT YOUR MOM
SAID or WOULD YOU JUST TAKE THE HERBS AND NOT CARE IF SHE PUT THEM DOWN and go by what
Marjorie’s sister said And why?

hey, first off, i answer a lot of these marjorie questions. so im just wondering, what are they for? are they real life situations or what? anyways, i think that marjorie knows what she takes them for and shouldnt care what her mother thinks. i think that her mother is just jealous because marjorie is thin and therefore wants marjorie to stop taking them so she can become overweight also like her mother.

i get really big clots with my period. im already on ibuprofen and take 2 4 times a day to try and help. i use tampons and they just slip right past it but i cant use a higher tampon size because ive tried and it hurts and the clots still slip by. does anyone have anything to help me without having to go out or anything? and does drinking water help?? thanks in advance!! and im 14 and a virgin and i dont realy let my period affect my social life although it slows me down

hey, you need to see a gyno. i know you said that you dont want to go out, but its the safest way. they will give you medication for it and that way you wont be in any danger.

About three days ago I started chugging cough medicine and taking way more than i should to get high off of it. i cant stop. i think im addicted to it already because ive been takin about one bottle every 24 hrs because i love the feeling i get off of it and now i dont know what to do because im getting hooked on it. please...i really need some advice because even tho its only been 3 days i cant stop and i kno it will probably turn into an addiction because even this morning i took a half of bottle and i just got to school and im just waiting for it to start to kick in. i really dont want this to be a regular thing. any one have any advice for me???

hey, well you should have someone lock them up for you and only give you the right amount of medicine when you need it. thats the safest way to break the addiction or to stop an addiction from occuring. focus on more important things like school, your social life, work, friends, and family. keep yourself busy and that way you wont want to drink the medicine. also try not to be alone. you wouldnt want to drink the medicine with people around you.

ive always been really skinny, and sometimes underweight. but just the other night ym paretns told me to stop eating so much, i eat a lot! and my parents say its guna catch up to me and ill be fat. So im about 98 punds myabe more[[cuz i gained weight!]] and im 13 and 5'2. i cant STOP resticting myself from eating too much, i even told my friends, and like imscared for myself. i dont want to stop eatin, but i have to!

i know its unhealthy, but for sum reason my body is saying this, or something else. im not going to talk to my parents becasue i have before, and they say im not anerexic or anything. plus its not serious yet. im just cutting down on foods, ill still eat enough, just not as big of portions as normal, but i feel like im starving myself, but i also feel like im doing the right thing. is this true?

i dnt want to NOT eat, but i need to stop my overeating. I wokro ut like crazy for track, and i have a fast matabulism, but im still worried... what should i do, do i have a problem, whats WRONG!

hey, well i personally think that you dont have anything to worry about just yet. my doctor always tells me that at 5`0 your suppose to be 100 pounds. everytime you go up in height, your suppose to add 5 pounds. so at 5`1 you should be 105 and at 5`2 your suppose to be 110. so 110 is your perfect and healthy weight for right now. once you get to that, i would continue to eat what you love, just in smaller portions. example say you have an addiction to burger king and you always get a large coke, a large fry, and two motzerella sticks (theres 4 in each box). you would need to limit yourself down to a medium coke, a medium fry, and one box of motzerella sticks. now im not saying go out and eat burger king, but thats just what first came to mind for me to help you get an idea of whats a good idea on cutting down and down sizing. they have these great things called 100 calorie packs. they come in oreos and cookies and other addicting sweets, but there only 100 calories! try those. good luck. also keep working out and getting toned.

Ok well im like really great friends with this guy anthony & i kinda really like. Like, i can tell that I love this kid no matter what & please don't say I don't cuz if its a relationship love or a friendship love, either way, i love him. But anyways, he has a gf that he is in love with & i hafta get over him. What's a good way to get over a guy? & fast is probably best. thanks in advance.

hey, well if you like someone this much to come on advicenators for, there must be something special about him. i wouldnt just get over him because hes taken. who knows - maybe he would have been the guy that you had a three year relationship with. never pass up a chance like that. what i would do is sort of put him in the back of your head for now. if you do find someone that you think might be better for you, dont just write them off either. if the guy that you fell for is still taken, give the other guy a try. if things work out, youll probably get over the other guy over time. what you cant do is get involved in a relationship with the other guy if you still have feelings for the guy that you once fell for. if you never find a different guy that you might be interested in while your waiting for the other guy or it just didnt work out, try thinking about the better things in life. like your social life, your friends, your family, your job, whatever makes you happy. personally i think by keeping a busy social life up and hanging out with your freinds and family a lot, that you tend to forget about the little things (like a guy). now im not saying that hes un-important, im just saying why worry about him if nothing can happen right now. good luck.

I apologize in advance for this long question... I'm very confused right now.
Also, I am 15, and a female, if it is any help.

I think I am falling in love with this guy. But I'm not really sure. We have everything in common- even obscure things, like certain composers. And... he is just one of the most amazing individuals I've ever met.
Let's call him... Richard.

The thing is, Richard has been dating one of my very best friends- let's call her Sue- for over a year. They have the most amazing relationship. And I love Sue. She is one of my closest friends, and perhaps the person I respect the most in the world.

Sue and Richard have been having relationship problems for the past few months- they've been taking breaks, and Sue tells me she likes someone else also.

I'm not asking for ways of how to separate them- I don't want to destroy their relationship, as I love them both. However, I want to know when it's an appropriate time- once they eventually do separate (even if it's not for a while), for me to start flirting with him. Or, in case anything does happen, when it is appropriate for us to go out.

Thank you very much.

hey, well while i was reading your questioned i noticed this .. "I think I am falling in love with this guy. But I'm not really sure". love is not a maybe thing, you know when you love someone. just remember that. also another thing that ive noticed in your question was .. " and Sue tells me she likes someone else also". if your friend sue likes someone else also, than its not fair at all to stay in the relationship with richard. in my opinion, shes just holding on to what used to make her happy (him) out of habit. i personally think that she just needs to let go and live the single life for a little while until she decides one person that she really likes and may want to start a relationship with. as for when you should start flirting with richard, not right when they end it. that looks tacky. you need to give them both time and wait for them to both be over each other. since this was a year or more long relationship, getting over each other will not happen in a jiffy. its going to take time, even for richard. when that time does come, you need to speak with sue first. tell her that you have developed feelings for richard and that if its okay with her, that you want to start flirting with him and see what happens. also you should talk to richard too. ask him if hes completely over sue. if he has any doubt in his mind about it, dont make your move until hes ready. when people are hurt or are getting over a relationship, they tend to let people in there life easier. they think that maybe they will replace the person that they lost. you dont want to be his "fall back girl" that hes trying to replace sue with do you? i wish you the best of luck.

Ok. You know how there are like these questionnaire stuff that you fill in about your name, age, fave singer, lalala, etc.? The ones that people usually put on myspace and stuff?

Some of the qu. were like:

Vanilla or chocolate?
Pepsi or coke?

That kinda stuff. Is there a website where there's different types of those profile things?

I hope this wasn't too confusing...

Thanks!

hey, yes there is actually a website.

its http://www.myspacesurveyfun.com

there is loads of surveys on there!

18/f. Second year university, studying graphic design.

Anyway. Here's my prob.

I do the work study program at my uni, which is when the student gets a 'job' in the campus and works for however many hours s/he wishes and gets paid as s/he works (about $5.5 per hour). Anyway. I've given a schedule to my 'boss' (i work for the facilities manager) and I stick to it all the time. However, he ALWAYS wants me to come in whenever I am free, even if I've worked for that day and have nothing else to do! He even makes me come in on weekends and work... I just seriously hate it. There were couple of times when I couldn't work on the scheduled day and I worked extra in advance 'cause of that - and I let him know that "Sir, I will not come tomorrow, that's why I will work 2 hours extra today'. And if I don't show up the next day, he gets angry, upset and calls me and asks me where I am, depite the fact that I'd told him a day ago!

I don't know how to deal with this anymore. It's getting on my nerves. I have a life other than my work life. He even plans on hiring me as his personal secretary after I graduate. Wtf? I want to work as a designer.

All I do is type emails, organize his desk, file documents. That's it. i love my job but he's making a big deal out of it.

What should I do? Should I just quit when the semester is over?... =*(

Thing is, I've been working for him for a year now. I basically know how the system works, stuff about the campus facilities, where everything is and who people are. I'm his 'right eye', as he calls it. If I quit, he's gonna get seriously upset.

Help please! PLEASE! =*(

hey, well you seem pretty much overall happy with your job that you have. the only problem your having is your boss. in my opinion, hes taking advantage of you. he knows that you wont say no to him very often, so therefore he pushes you to work many hours more than what you signed up for. i wouldnt let one person make you quit a job that you love without talking to him about it first. i would sit him down and talk to him about the fact that you do have hours that you wish to work and a schedule that you would wish that he would take into consideration and follow. basically tell him what you told us. just the main points tho like; you have more of a life than just your work life, that you have homework to deal with, and also a social life. explain to him that you love the job, but if he cant respect your wishes that youll have to bail on him at the end of the semester. as for him wanting you to be his personal secretary, i wouldnt shoot down the idea right away. who knows - you might need that job if the whole designer thing doesnt work out right away. dont rule the idea out yet. dont mention to him that you dont think that will be happening. see how the job that you have now goes for the rest of the year and also see if your designer job starts looking like it might happen. good luck =]. oh yeah and also if you end up quitting, your boss with be upset. thats not your problem or fault, its his own. he shouldnt have pushed you as hard as he did and if he didnt, he would still have you till this day.

I'm moving next year and i was talking to my friend that i was worried that me and my friends wont talk that much anymore cause i'm moving to a different state. so my friend Terrie said "dont worrie we will keep in touch, we are best friends. and i make sure we will still be friends forever" that made me feel all warm inside.
Till yesterday i said the same thing to my friend Sally, i told her i feel bad and worried that we wont keep in touch, sally didnt say anything. She was quite and i was hoping for her to say something like terrie did to keep me not worring.
now i feel like sally will not keep in touched. we were friend for 7 years. why wouldnt she say anything?
is she mad that i will leave?

hey, i bet shes just upset that your moving. people react differently to different situations. maybe her way is being in denial and pretending that everythings normal and that your not moving. give her some time to let it sink in.

ok i meet this guy through my friend and i'm really starting to like him but my friend told me that she doesn't want me to talk to him anymore b/c she's afraid he'll hurt me like he hurt her. i guess she really liked him and he just lead her on. but who's to say that he'll do the same thing to me? and i feel like i can't talk to her about it b/c when i ask her about it she just tells me noe to talk to him. i kinda think that she's jealous b/c he likes me alot and i like him alot. should i keep talking to him or respect my friend's wishes and not talk to him? plz help me! thx.

hey, well i think that you should politely tell your friends that you respect her opinion, but you want to give him a shot. you and your friend are two different people and he might be different towards you than he was with her. dont talk to the guy more than your friend tho. friends always comes before any guys.

Ok, so I'm a 16, almost 17/m, and i'M ABOUT 5'9. I hate it. All of my friends are at least 6'. I really want to grow taller if i want to have a better chance at playing football in college. Are there any ways i can make myself grow taller, as crazy as it sounds?

hey, theres no way of making yourself taller. sorry. wear taller shoes.

I'm currently reading the book Dizzy & Jimmy which in short, is about James Dean (before he was famous) meeting Liz Sheridan (author of the book) and falling in love. I NEED a picture of the two, I'm starting to think none exist because I've looked so much. Can ANYONE find one for me? If not, thanks for trying!!

hey, why dont you get two seperate pictures of them on google. after that use paint to put them together.

ok so theres this popular girl in my school.. lets call her kelly. i dont know kelly, but i played a prank on some kid my friend liked because i was bored, and the kid didnt know my aim s/n either. well he asked me who i was and i didnt tell him cause i didnt wanna be discovered that way.. its like, so much for first impressions. since the dare was to tell him that like my mom shaves my armpits or something, when its not true. anyways that kid told his friend who is kelly and then she kept asking me and then for a couple months it didnt happen anymore, then like today she IMed me again and she forgot about the incident, so she was just wondering who i was since she added me to her buddylist, and i was online. i told her my name, and its kind of like an unique name so she asked if i was telling the truth.. i dunno if she thought i was some like random pedo, haha. so i told her that my oher friend (lets call her susan) susan told me that she knew kelly, and she went to our school, which is why i told her my name. and then kelly was asking for susan's screenname and susan said she didnt want kelly to have it.. i guess they arent really friends. then sometimes i left gaps inbetween and kelly is like "sorry for being nice about it, you didnt have to be so bitchy" just because i didnt answer in a little while, when i was thinking on whether to tell her my name. anyway, after i said that susan didnt want me to tell her her screenname, shes like "what did i do to her"? and im like "idk" and then shes like "okay, bye. peace out" then im like "kay" and shes like "PEACE" and that was all that happened. my other friend said that her friend said that kelly was kinda bitchy.. and none of my friends really seem to be friends with her, but i checked on her aim profile and she seems to have lots of friends. i dont like sucking up to people or anything, but like im wondering.. like should i try and be her friend even though i didnt really want to before, and my friend's have negative comments about her? a part of her doesnt seem that bad.. but i dunno. also, if i should talk to her again, what should i say?" "hey whats up?" that would be if i were her friends. like what could i say that would be more friendly but not like sucking-up-ish, and what could i say if shes like "why are you still IMing me" or something? i dont know.. think of all the possibilities. sorry that this is kinda long too, thank you!

13/f

hey, she seems super bitchy. why would you want to get involved with that? she was rude to you and she barely even knew you. she has enough friends, she doesnt need you. stay away from her. she might be "cool" and "popular", but she seems stuck up and i garentee your friends are much better.

[view]


ok so i understand my bff has been friends with this other girl since like 2nd grade or sumthing like that and the last couple of weeks they hang out ALOT unless my friend is with me like after school they r together and everything then the day they go back to school they are telling everybody wut they di and everything i know u shouldnt be jelous but is there a way i can be less jelous please help me

hey, well its always hard to cope with your bestfriend finding another good friend or reuniteing with an old one. you usually feel left out or not good enough in these kid of situations. theres two things you can do. a) talk to her about it and hope that she reacts well to it. b) get closer to other friends. i hope taht everything works out =].

[view]


from: why was she mad at me.

yes she does have a good sense of humor, we always put each other down.(for fun) i can understand that she was nervous and her blaming me, but for a week! she finally responed back after i said i was sorry on the message. and on the phone, i was not rude i said it clamly. i hate to be rude to people even the ones i cared about. my qeastion was

"Why didnt she say anything when i ask her why was she mad?"
well she proble was mad but we can be more all grown up if we talk about but no she was like a 5 year old. i just dont get it. do you?

hey, no i dont get it either. people have there own ways of dealing with things, problems, and situations. maybe hers is acting childish and like a little kid. i would write her a note and stick it in her locker. dont sign it or anything cause i think by writting something to do with the situation on it will make it pretty obviously that its from you. no one can resist reading a note, so she will have to read it. hopefully she will respond calmly and well to it. explain to her that you hate not talking to her and that she shouldnt hold this grudge on you forever.

I know everyone has crazy thoughts... but mine are a bit strange. Like "overly crazy" and need the appropriate attention and medication

So here's the deal:

Ever since I was a little girl (I'm 13/f now), I would come up with these weird thoughts that if I did something that looked cool and I wanted to do it again, it wouldn't look cool if I did it again. I don't think that way anymore. But now I think even worse thoughts. As years grew by this thinking has become worse.
Sometimes when I'm up high on like a deck over a hotel looking at the view, I feel like I'm going to lose control and jump off. But then it got even worse. And this is what really scares me. I sleepwalk, so I feel like I'm going to harm someone in my sleep... and it really disturbs me. My brother annoys me a lot and sometimes the rest of my family does to, (because I'm on the computer all day could be why I'm so annoyed because it puts you in a bad mood. But I never used to be I don't think.) and I feel like once I'm older that I'm going to be one of those people with a mental illness that's going to kill somebody because of it.
Also, I think I have O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsize Disorder) because when I'm on the neopets boards I'll keep looking up to make sure I'm on the right topic, or it's the right username etc. etc. I'm not sure if I'm just anxious or what!
I may also have A.D.D.
So those things may be connected.
I am also going through a minor depression that is becoming more mild, less and less ever since I talked about it with my mom... which is good but may have something to do with it.
Does any of what I've described seem like a disease/illness? Could you send me a link or something or explain what type of mental problem this could be? I'm scared to know the truth... but the later I find out, the worse.
THANK YOU for your time, and thank you for reading this because it was so long.

hey, well i personally think that you should convince your parents to take you to the doctors and have them diagnose you. they will be able to help you and give you proper medication before something bad happens. us advicenators or google could diagnose you with the wrong thing and then you could get the wrong type of help. doctors know best.

okay well my friend is having a party on saturday. it` going to be really big andd really fun. she invited guys and the one i like is invited too. what do you suggest i do to get his attention at the party. i mean like should i wear something reallyy hott, or should i hang out with a bunch of other guys? how do i make him noticee mee?

pleasee helppp

hey, "hanging out with other guys" basically comes off as you being all over other guys. that how guys think at least. it doesnt mean that you cant talk to other guys at all, it just means that if you really like him and want him to be interested in you, that you should pay the most attention to him than any other guy. basically make him feel like hes the only guy in the room. yes, you should look good. when you look good, you tend to feel good. when you feel good, it builds up your confidence. confidence is always good to have and the guys love it. they can sense it from a mile away and they find it attractive. you should flirt with him some, but dont act desperate. eye contact and laughing at his jokes are big ones. if you need flirting tips i would try http://www.links2love.com
