So theres this guy I've been talking to for a while now and he actually went out with a friend of mine. The problem is that he is a senior and im only a freshman ... ive been warned not to listen to senior guys because they just want some out of younger girls. My friend said that he is a jerk but when they went out he was extremely sweet. the other half of the problem is that even if we were to go out or anything, my parents wouldnt be ok with it. So im not sure what to do, do i just get over it and trust my friend or continue talking to him. is it also true that senior guys try to get with freshman?

Well it would be kind of awkward in 2 ways:

1. your friend went out with him and i've been in a situation like that before and it didn't work out well...
2. The age would be weird. He might just want some out of you, unless he really seems to be interested in you. Does he smile a lot when he talks to you? Seem nervous around you?

I don't think it would be a good idea to go out with him. So just try to be friends with him.
He also might be mad if you ever were to dump him and he might start a rumor about you. I've seen stuff like this happen before and the guy started a rumor saying the girl was a total slut.
So I'd be really careful if you went ahead and dated him anyways.

hope it helps!

In May of 2006, my best friend had an end of school party and invited all girls. One of the girls that she invited started a game called “truth or dare: make out style.” The first person that she dared was me. We licked, kissed, and touched each other all over each other’s body. I had to kiss and touch my best friend that I’ve now since I was in kindergarten and it felt kind of awkward but I got used to it!! I actually enjoyed it, which I know was wrong. In august, my best friends mom comes knocking on my door and says that her daughter said that I was making advances towards her, which I didn’t. The girls at the party said that I started the game and later was denied to ever see or handout with my very best friend. What should I do to the friends that blamed everything on me? I need some major advice!!!!!!

This is a really bad situation. I would definantly start of by asking your friend and her mother to come over for dinner or something. I'd explain that you didn't start this game and some of the other girls did, and you just went along with it not to feel left out. Tell them that you didn't think it was wrong and it didn't mean anything, it was just a game you guys played and you didn't start it.

Also, first, maybe try talking to your friend and ask why she blamed you for this game when you know for a fact you didn't start it. Explain to her that you didn't go along with the game because you wanted to make advances ot whatever, you just didn't want to be left out.

good luck & hope it helps

I am 13 and in 8th grade and i like a guy in 7th grade. we danced at our last dance and he asked me out and i said yes but people at school think im only going out with him cuz im desprerate. i like him though! Is it okay even if he is a year and a half younger?

ok i actually went out with a boy in 7th grade when i was in 8th grade and yeah i got some crap about it, but you know what? who cares!? if you really like him and he really likes you nothing else should matter. Like I said, I was in this same situation and age dosen't matter. You know some people are like my age (freshman) and dating 8th graders. It is totally cool =]

hope it helps!

Okay i have this good friend of mine and well i wanna get closer with her before i ask her out, please advise a few ways i can do this without letting on that i like her

hang out with her more and make her smile =] girls love when you mkae them smille! Sit by her at lunch and flirt with her. Smile around her and then just ask her out. the owrst she can do is say, 'no' and if she does (i'm hoping she dosen't =]) then just say, 'that's cool i just always have a good time with you and i thought it would be cool if we went out.' don't make too big a deal about it.

hope it helps =]

Heard that you have a razr cell phone. Can you give me the 411 about it?

1. Does a razr scratch easily?
2. Does the color peel off it it is silver?
3. If you are not careful with a razr, will it break easily? Like you drop is a lot of times?
4. Is there any protectors to hold a razr?
5. Do razrs last for years if you take good care of it?
6. How much are a razr if you just want to buy the phone and insert your sim card?

If you wish, give me any more information about a razr.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I don't have a razr? but my best friend does, so...

i asked her and she says..
it kinda scratches easily
the color dosen't peel off
she has dropped hers a few times and so have i lol and it hasn't broken, it seems durable
motorola has a bunch of cool cell phone cases for razrs
you'd have to check the site for warranties and stuff
Her phone was $200 when she bought it, but it depends on the carrier. You'd have to cehck websites

It's really nice and easy to use, my friend would recomend it =]


hope it helps!

I heard that Steve Irwin the crocadile hunter guy was killed.

I don't know if that is true or not true?

Can someone tell me if it is true?

If the crocodile hunter is really dead then how did he get killed? I am so sad if it is true.

Yeah he got killed! =[

he was swimming and like floating on his stomach, and a stingray got him! Isn't it terrible?!

hope this helped even though it is sad =[

ok theres this guy that ive been going out with for about four months now. well, now im starting to REALLY like this other guy and i want to break up with my boyfriend, but im afraid he'll hate me. cuz weve gone out before and when i broke up with him, he ignored me for months. i dont want that same thing to happen, cuz i still wanna be friends with him. what should i do?

Well i was in this type of situation already and here's what I did:

I broke up with my boyfriend and told him we should still be friends and then I went out with this other guy i totally liked and i knew he liked me.

But...Are you positive this other guy likes you? If he really does, go for it with him, but don't rub it in your boyfriend's fae or anything. Just keep it mutual, stay friends =]

hope it helps

hey im 13/f
my mom says if i ever get a boyfriend and she knows about it, shell be really pissed cuz im not aloud to be dating yet. i really like this guy and theres a rumor going around that hes gonna ask me out. well my best friend said and these are her words.."ill make sure your mom knows." i cant not tell my best friend that i have a boyfriend and even if i dont, itll get around. i just dont know what to do.

well one, what kind of best friend is that? sorry to sound harsh, but you have to trust your best friends and not hide anything from them. Aka the reason they're your best friend. I mean, I know I can trust my 2 best friends with that stuff.. but anyways!!

I think that you should just tell this guy, "Look, I'm not aloud to really date yet and my mom will get mad so what if we just stay friends, okay?"

If you don't like that and want to go out with this guy, then I guess just go out with him behind your mom and best friends backs? Not a good idea if yu ask me. I think they'd find out eventually but. Maybe just hang out one on one with this guy and at the end give him a little kiss? that's something personal you don't have to tell anyone and you still aren't dating but you show you like him back. get what I mean?

hope it helps

My best friend's name is Mike, and I have another close friend who's name is Ashley. Both of them have rather sad past relationships, and Mike's ex-girlfriend was my best friend of three years before we drifted apart. Before she and Mike had started dating, she knew that I had a crush on him, but she dated him anyway. It cracked our friendship, and I don't want that to happen with anyone else. After they broke up, I was getting a lot of hints that he liked me; he brought me my favourite flowers (a boquet of sunflowers and red roses that he arranged) in the morning on my birthday, he went out of his way to get me and him concert tickets to Strhess Fest, and whenever he hugs me, he trails his fingertips down my side.
Ashley recently got a car, while neither Mike nor I have one, so Mike's been around Ashley lately, and she knows how I feel about him, but she likes him anyway, and he's been saying that if he were wanting to date, he'd ask her out.
I don't know if I should tell Mike how I feel, and possibly ruin our friendship, or if I should let him and Ashley date; but I let that happen once, and it pretty much ruined our friendship.

I would hint it back to him and maybe ask, "you know we should hang out more one on one" and do just that. Hang out with him one on one. Go out to dinner, and maybe, if things are going well and he seems like he is having a nice time, let it out. Don't make a totally big deal about it, just casually say, "You know, maybe we should take our relationship to the next level. What do you think?" If he says yes, then maybe give him a little kiss ;] and if he says no, don't make a big deal or get weirded out. Just say, "That's ok. I just always have a nice time with you and I thought we might make a good couple. No big deal. Then try and bring up a funny memory to cool things down. you know?

since summer is almost over and you don't wear shorts and capris anymore, do you have to shave in the fall and winter? is it a 'must'? thanks!

It' not like a 'must' since like you said you dont wear shorts & capris. The only real reason to shave is if you have gym like me and have to wear shorts or play sports. If neither of those apply to you, then it's up to you. Do you want to shave?
hope ie helps!

hey everyone well im a 15/f and i need some help.. well ok my ipod isn't updating it says it doesn't have enough room to put more songs on.. and its the ipod nano which is 2 gygabytes and it can hold 500 songs and mines can't even hold like 390 songs!! what should i do?

It might say this because...
If you have pictures on there that takes up memory.
If the songs are long, like 6 minutes then it takes more memory.
I'ts 500 songs if the songs are each about 4 minutes and you dont have a alot of pictures.

Hope this helps!

how do I ask a boy out and how do i get him to me more hel.p me i really need advice

well if your friends already, just ask him out. if you just met him, maybe get to know him a little better. Talk about stuff he's interested in. After a little bit of just taling, try flirting. Always smile but not too much. know what i mean?

well good luck =]

how long is an ipod supposed to stay going with a full charged battery? and a half charged one?

Depends what kind of iPod...

Videos go for
14 hours
4 with photos- watching them
2- watching variosu videos

minis can go for about 12 hours, i'm pretty sure on a full and on half well, half of 12 so 6!

I'm sure you could find any other battery related stuff on the website (apple.com) or in the bok your iPod came with.

hope it helps
