Okay so heres the deal, i am 14 years old and im a girl. At my school everything happens so fast in relationships. Like I got my first kiss in 5th grade and madeout with someone in 6th. however i have this boyfriend, yeah majior babe and hes just like perfect, well thats what I thought. But whenever im with him all he wants to do is makeout and sometimes he tries to do other stuff, yah know? And he tells his friends like a lot of stuff that we do! i dont know if hes just like using me to brag or if he really likes me!

-Michelle

You should definantly try talking to him.
Ask him, do yuo really like ME or do you like braggin ABOUT me?
See what he says, and if you don't want to go any farther than making out, don't! You don't have to! If he keeps bragging about you, or if he dosen't treat you well. Maybe it's time to break up.
hope I helped

This might be stupid but, How can you tell if a boy likes you (besides asking of course)?

Any comments will be appreciated.

All guys have different ways of showing they like you, but here are some signs to look for:

--Walks by you for no reason. sometimes they don't say anything. They just walk by.

--Smiles at you a lot.

--Gets kinda nervous around you.

--Looks at his feet and smiles when he talks to you.

--Asks for your screen name or phone number or something.

--Begs to know who you like.

Yeah, so that's all I've got.
Hope it helps

Ok I was wondering if anyone had some very cute screenname ideas that I could use. Something that uses the words "bamm" or "Rad" or something really cute. I`m also a female so I hope that helps thanks ! =] I don`t want anything old that uses words like "eva" & words like that.

Well, I'm always trying to make up new screen names, so ehre's what I came up with:

0h S0 RAD x33

BAMM ITS (your name)

(your name) IS RAD X0

I dunno, something along those lines is cute.
hope I helped!

i want to start talking to my mom about 'private issues' and i was wondering which would be more embarassing to talk to your mom about: bras or shaving legs? thanks!

I'd think bras would be more embaressing, but niehter are THAT bad. I mean, it's your mom, she went through this stuff and now you are. It's no big deal. Just feel comfortable. No one really knows you better than your own mom =]

Im 13 yrs old. and still havent got my first kiss =. i feel like eberyone else has & its really bothering me.& i want to get a boyfriend.

It dosen't matter how old you are when you get your first kiss. Don't waste it on someone you don't even like that much. Make it speciaal for yourself and who cares what everyone else says.
When people bring it up just be like, "Whatever. I don't kiss and tell." If you want them not to think you're a baby or whatever. It's cool not to have your first kiss yet anyways.

Where can I get ringtones for my T-mobile Razr?
I know of t-zones but I can't figure which one is the real song. Is the real song mega-tone or what is it? Thank you.

Hi Fi Ringers are the real song.
Try searching for a song you want, and it'll say megatone and hi fi ringer.
Megatone is polyphonic and hi fi ringers are the real song!

I have been using a sunless tanner on my skin, but now I want to lay out and/or go to a tanning booth. Can I do this even with my skin already tan from the bottle stuff? What will happen? Will I still get a natural tan? I'll rate.. thanks

I use Aveeno Natural Tanning stuff on myself. After My friend and I used it, we layed out and I think i got tanner than I did before I started using it. All that it did to me was make me tanner, but in a good way. It looked natural. I haven't tried a bed, (I dont know if you're supposed to use it right before a bed or anything) because I don't go to them, but I'd think it would be ok, maybe ask someone at the tanning bed place?

I think my computer came with xp and then we deleted it and reinstalled it. Where do you get the graphic thing? Do you get it from like best buy or something or do you download it? If so, can I find out from the site where you download it or like best buy.com or something?

My aunt works with computers and she dowloaded tons of things, so I'm not exactly sure what it was. But I did some googling and found this site:

http://computing.net/gaming/wwwboard/forum/2972.html

I'm pretty sure it has a card you can buy.
I hope this helps!

We have a dell, and we got it in 2001 I think? or somewhere around there so its not new but its not really old either. Can I get it? How?

I'm not sure if you can get the graphic thing because my computer is like brand new as of May and it came with xp.. if yours came with xp then i'm not sure. but if you installed the xp, then you don't have the new graphics settings thing.

Hi. I asked a question about the sims, and you said I needed xp. After we deleted it, we re-installed it, so I have xp. Sorry I didn't include it. How do I get a better graphic thing?

It depends what kind of computer you have.. If it's a 98, then you can't get the graphic thing. If it's a new new computer, then I'm not sure. We got a new computer that came with xp, so we didn't have that problem.
Hope it helps and sorry if it didn't

Are smoothies with strawberries and bananas and milk bad for you? I heard they were, but I dont get how they would be.

They're only bad if yu put sugar or tons of sweet stuff, like a lot of whipped cream or something in it.

I got the Sims 2 when it first came out. It worked fine on my computer, but then we deleted XP, and I couldn't install it again. It said:
A problem has occured when trying to transfer the file 'TSData\Res\Sims3D\Textures.package' from the media. Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?
If I click retry, it goes up 1%, then it comes up again. It'll go to 100% and it'll keep popping up. When my aunt came over, I asked her if she knew what it was or how to fix it, and she said that when we deleted XP, we deleted something and we need that to install it. She didn't have time to fix it. So, I was wondering if anyone knew what this was and how to fix it. Thanks.

I had this same problem. You don't have the right graphics features to run the Sims 2. You need xp for it to work.

Okay what does a Large and an XL in Abercrombie Kids convert to in the adult Abercrombie & fitch? Like is an XL in Kids a Medium in Abercrombie and fitch? Or even a size chart would be nice!

An XL from kids is like a small in abercrombie and fitch. My friend and i just went to the mall and tried to figure that out, and that's what we found.

hope it helps.
