Hey 13/F. I went out with this boy. Butt then we broke up coz he moved. It was difficult to move on and when I did he keeps txting me. Kisses and hugs I flirt a lot coz I really still like him. Should I go on with flirting should I stop. Wat should I do? (link)
Because he moved, He will be meeting new friends.
It would be best for you to move on. You are still very young. and you will find many great guys. Don't hold of for one that is not around to see you or to physically take you out on dates.

Hope this helps.


I have the flu and my mom bought my a sub from subway. I'm super scared to eat though. I have had a cup of tea and a peep (the candy). I started feeling the flu last night. Would I already be naushus (idk how to spell it)? I have a big fear of throwing up and getting nauseated. Please Help, thanks! :) (link)
Try your basic foods and beverages for flu.

Gingerale.
It helps settle an upset stomach.

Crackers.
I usually eat salted tops. They taste so much better than the plain ones. and will give you a bit of energy.

Chicken Noodle soup.
Has vitamins that will help you gain strength.

Also try these as well:

Gravol or motion sickness tablets.
These work one of 2 ways.
It will either help your stomach calm down,
or unfortunatly make you throw up.

Tylonel Flu
Day will help you, but won't be drowsy in case you are going to school or have a job.

Night will help you sleep soo you can get better.
and help you sleep through the night.

I don't like gettin nauseated, or throwing up. So i know how you feel. Just sleep alot. Take small sips of gingerale, and nibble on crackers.

Hope this helps:)

I've recently started seeing a guy that I really like. He treats me well and I have a really good time with him. Recently we (as part of my friendship group) had a discussion about sex and he confessed to having had a very large number of sexual parters (150+), being a member of several swingers club & websites and going to lots of 'sex parties'.
He says that whenever he is in a relationship, he is monogamous, but that he just enjoys sex and doesn't see anything wrong with it. I don't see anything wrong with it, but I can't help feeling that this relationship has no potential for two reasons: a) he doesn't seem to attach any meaning to sex [whereas I do], b) I don't feel that I will be enough to satisfy him in the long term.
Really I'm just looking for advice about what to do, and how to broach the subject if talking about it seems to be the best option! (link)
I would talk to him about your concern's. Sex is a very big issue between couples, and if not talked about it can destroy a relationship.

Tell him exactly how you feel. That althought he has had 150+ partners. You find sex to be more or an intimate connection between two people in a relationship. Explain to him that it is very important to you and not something that can just be thought of as a random thing with not much meaning if that makes sense. Also explain to him how although he is 'experienced'. You feel that you might not 'measure up' to his standards.

Hope this helps:)

So, I've posted here once or twice about the same guy. He is in the army and one of my best friends. Well he just got back yesterday, and today is Valentines day. I dated his best friend about two years ago, we broke up around Christmas the year before last and about a month later I hooked up with this guy. We didn't have sex but got pretty close. Anyway, so he took me out on a date about a year ago and it was really fun. After that we kissed a few times and we'd occasionally hold hands. We kind of drifted apart when his friend and my ex found out. Since at the time it was a sensitive situation. Well, I started dating another guy who beat me and just was an awful person. After I caught him cheating I dumped him and remained single for the rest of the year, until New Years Eve, I ran into my friend who I had a thing with at a party, he was on leave for about a week. So we got drunk together and ended up kissing at midnight and well, later on we met up and some other things happened. We went back to the party and about a few hours later we ended up holding hands. Until my ex walked in then we quickly dispersed. Well a short time later he left and I hugged him goodbye. Since then we have been texting, we talk about how we need to hang out, and how he misses food, I told him I'd make him dinner and he was very happy to hear. Well anyways. He has not been in a relationship in over two years and has mostly just fooled around with girls, I have been fed up with relationships and have started doing the same. However, he is the only guy who gives me that feeling in my gut. I realized I really liked him. We're supposed to hang out at a party this week. I really want to tell him, but I'm afraid he might not feel the same since the situation is so, different. What do I do, is there any hints I can drop? Is there anything I can say or do to find out. I'm afraid if I confess my feelings our friendship will be...odd. (link)
Guy liking situations can be very difficult. Your situation is different. But doesn't have to be hard. I know this is very hard to do.
But ask him if you can talk to him either outside alone if its warm. or in a room where it can just be you two.

Just be like, I know we are good friends, and i don't want to ruin our friendship, But i have to say that i really like you. Say one or two things you like about him like the way he smiles, or the way he holds your hand a certain way.

By what you have told me. I believe he likes you too. or has some kind of feelings for you.

But be honest and tell him the truth. If he says he just wants to be friends, yes it will hurt but at least you will know and won't be wondering what if.
and if he does say just friends, just think of it as another guy closer to finding the true one.

Hope this helps:)

hi, whenever we have an arguement my boyfriend of 13 months says,''he's depressed'' afterwards. what does he mean? we live together and he's in his late 40's and i'm in my mid 30's. we both don't say sorry but afterwards we make up by cuddling and kissing. i feel sad and depressed after the arguement but i never show to him however he goes and say he's depressed. does this mean he really feels bad after the arguement or he just can't say sorry? he also says we should split up whenever we have an arguement. sometimes, if i really irritate him too much he goes and says, ''you know where the door is'' and after a while we start talking to each other and he says,'' he's depressed and sad.'' so guys, what does he actually mean? does he want us to split up or does he not love me anymore? thanks to you all. (link)
This is not about you. Being depressed can be caused by many many things. It could be your fights. but just because he's depressed does not mean he doesn't love you. maybe he just needs to sort out what's bothering him aka the split. just to not bring you down?


Ok so I really liked this guy he was really nice and I told him I liked him. He said that he wasn't over his ex who broke his heart. So he said he thought I was beautiful to one of my friends and I danced with him at homecoming and when the lights came on we kept dancing untill the song ended. Yet when he saw me with my male friend he got a sad look on his face and hasn't talked to me since.
So I am wondering if he likes me now. I still love him and even when I was texting a guy friend all I could think of was him. Please advise (link)
I think he may not be over his ex yet. but is wanting to move on with you, but might be worried and sad if you find some one else


Ok so Im 12 and I currently have a wonderful boyfriend but he kinda flirts with my best friend. When Im aorund him he doesnt givve me any special attention though. He is my first boyfriend, and slow dance. Then theres this other guy who is a year older than me (13). He IM's me 24/7 he admitts to me that he kinda likes me but likes other people too. I kinda am falling for him and I dont know what to do. We were playing truth over IM the other day and he said that he reall wants to kiss me. I have never kissed anyone before but he has kissed alot of other girls. I asked him for one of my questions if he would ever kiss me while im still dating ___? and he said yes. I have something in side me that wants to kiss him but the other part of me doesnt because i already have a boyfriend. I dont know what to do because the other guy said 'It would be worth kissing you even though I might get slapped'. PLEASEE help, I dont know what to do :( (link)
First thing you should learn because your young is. Even a peck (small kiss) is considered cheating.You do not want to cheat on your boyfriend. If you are losing interest in him. Then let him know as soon as possible. He may be an amazing guy just not the guy for you. plus people tend to remember who cheated on them. even at a young age. You need to seriously think about this. If you are so in love with your boyfriend you wouldn't even be considering kissing this other guy. Just make sure you pick the right guy. and learn from what you know. and deal with the consequences as well.

Hi, I'm struggling with money a lot and I suck at making budgets and all that.. is there any website that will be able to help me? I don't want anything too complicated just something really simple where I can input the different expenses and bills that I pay a month and it calculate for me how much Id be able to save and what I will have left for spending money.

I have a silly little part time job so like I said I dont want anything too complicated.. I dont have a huge amount of expenses but I'm finding it hard to balance between my bills, saving, and spending money and I just need some help.

Thank you. (link)
This tells of a couple different sites you can use,. and a little information about them.

So, ummmm... HELP!!! Oh yeah, I'm 11 years old ( if you think I'm too young, then fine) and as you probably have found out already, I'm a girl. Please respond! At least, SOMEBODY. (link)
Sorry to hurt ya hun,, but if he is saying you guys are just friends,. Then your not really boyfriend and girlfriend. it seems like he is embaressed to admit your his girl.. if he does like you that is..

You are really young and you will find a guy who treats you like a princess.


Omg so yesterday I was combing my bangs bc they were getting alittle out of place, i accidentally started twirling my comb in my bangs and it got caught. I managed to get most of my bangs out of the comb but some of it (fair chunk) was still stuck. I twisted it all sorta of directions but nothing worked. Suddenly, the comb broke free and i thought i was fine. I looked down at the comb and it had the hair in it. It had ripped out a big chunk of hair and it is my bangs and i have short bangs tht are side bangs. I had just got my hair cut earlier that day and now I have a peice of my scalf showing and I dont know how to hide it. Please help me, school starts in 2 days :( (link)
Depending on your hair style you could twist your bangs into a funky back comb clipped or side clipped to the other side to cover up the spot


Why is Laughing Healthy? I'm Glad it is Because i Laugh a lot but Why? (link)
Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. In addition to the domino effect of joy and amusement, laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

I wish you the best for both yourself and your friend. good luck and my prayers be with you!


I just wanna understand how women look at guys and what qualities they look for.

Physical qualities like how they look and how strong/attractive they are. How much does money matter? Do you like guys who are more aggressive or laid back? Do you want a man to be territorial and maybe even jealous over you? Protective?

Do you like guys who are more mature? How much does sex matter? What kind of style do you like in guys? All that kind of stuff.

Everyones different so I like to hear all different answers no matter what age. (link)
My personal opinion.. I have 2 types.

one is the bigger type. not huge but not skinny.

the other is a thinner version but still not like 'emo' scrawny. I prefer a guy who is taller than me. and hair color or eye color doesn't really matter. I like someone who isn't fully mature but isn't rediculously immature. I think sex is good for some one you have been with for a while. i don't like to jump into bed after a few weeks.

Hope this helps:)

P.S. I'm 21. female.:P


what is the "g-spot"? (link)
The Gräfenberg Spot, often called the G-Spot, is a bean-shaped area of the vagina. Many women report that it is an erogenous zone which, when stimulated, can lead to strong sexual arousal, powerful orgasms and female ejaculation. The Gräfenberg Spot is typically located one to three inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm) up the front (anterior) vaginal wall between the vaginal opening and the urethra and is a sensitive area that may be part of the female prostate.



Last Year i Rarely Got Sick and Now I Have Been Getting Sick More Often. This Year in 2012 and End of 2011 I Haven't Had Any Vegetables. What Do Vegetables Do? If Your Body Doesnt Get Them Do You Get Sick More? What Are The Affects of Not Eating Vegetables? (link)
They provide vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, and fiber.
The nutritional content of vegetables varies considerably, though generally they contain little protein or fat and varying proportions of vitamins, minerals, fiber and carbohydrates, so they are very good for you.

Not sure about the sickness.

when you are young it will have very little effect. However, when you reach late twenties early thirties, your skin willl wrinkle faster than everybody elses (never sexy) and you will be far more susceptable to diseases. Your body wil deteriorate faster, visibly and internally, and you may die younger.



okay well me and my boyfriend live seperatly and we are currently expected our first child. He stays with his dad and I stay with my mom. Due to my job and my schooling I want to continue to stay here after the baby is born until we are able to afford something together. his house is to far of a drive for me to live there and he is not allowed to stay here because of my mothers beliefs. When the baby is born he of course wants to be there to help take care of it but I was wanting to bring it home with me. his dad has dogs and such and I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing a newborn baby in there until they cleaned it really well. He wants to be able to stay with me when the baby is just born to help me and I understand but i won't stay there right out of the hospital. what should i do? should I talk to my mother and see if she will let him stay a night or to or how should I explain it to him that I don't want to stay there with the baby just yet? he'd be heartbroken. I'm kind of in a rut. (link)
A. How old are both of you? This will help justify my answer to you :)


Yeah, yeah, yeah another relationship problem but please read on... I really need some advice. Recently I've gotten back with my first boyfriend from when I was fifteen, I am now twenty-one. When I was fifteen it just didn't work because we were young, and so and so wanted to date someone else, the typical fifteen year old reasons. He was however my first childhood sweetheart and we shared our first kiss, first date, and a great six months together. Then we went our separate ways and didn't talk for about six years. Recently, a friend of mine set me up with him, why I agreed to it I don't know.... I guess because you always think of what could have been. I had just got out of a three-and a half year relationship six months prior to then, and kept being pressured from my friends it was time to move on, so I decided to give my first childhood sweetheart a chance. Now it has been six months, and I see things going downhill like they were then. We fight it seems just about everyday. We both work hard, and are college students. We never get time to see each other. On top of that, he works over nights, while I work days. Although I try to be considerate of this because I've worked overnights, he is always tired and never tries to make time for me like he did the first few months we started dating again. He says, "it's catching up to him..." Although I know he just sleeping, I think he should make time for me. Even if it is just a couple hours every few days. We live in the same town, only about 10 miles from each other. He insists that I should drive to see him if I miss him so much, but I've done that the past 3 times and now I think it's his turn to see me.... Ugh, I'll stop now. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's not what I thought it would be. I'm not sure how to go about solving this problem. I've talked it over with him numerous times and it doesn't seem to sink into his head. I've already thought about ending it, but just can't bring myself to it. What I'm asking is, should I try to talk to him some more and if so, how should I broach the subject? If I should end it, what are steps to take to actually go through with it? Any input on this subject matter would be greatly appreciated... Thanks. (link)
Honestly It sounds as though you guys are going the seperete ways. If he doesn't want to take the time to see you.. Then something is not right. In my mind if someone really likes me then he would want to make time out of his 'busy' schedule to see you. I think you two allthough may have only been 15 years old. He is still an ex for a reason.

Hope this helps:)

How old do you have to be to buy condoms in the unitited states (link)
There is no age requirement on condom purchases. Good for you for actually using them! You can also get condoms for free at any local clinic. Not only can you get condoms there, but they also do free STD and pregnancy testing at most facilities.


Ive been acting wierd around this girl i like,that she thinks im wierd,i do something stupid like runaway and promise to call but never do so,i only text her but she never acknowledges them,i love her but how do i cover up for this mess,she thinks im a chicken maybe (link)
Just be honest with her. Explain to her that you are nervous around her, and that your not sure how to act around her because you don't want her to think your a wierdo.. Girls like honesty. No matter how hard it is. She will understand.


Hey,
okay so me and my ex broke up over a year ago.
Since then he went back to his ex,then broke up again. Then got another gf and split up. Now he fancies some other girl.

However, we met up the other day at college and he seemed into me. But on fb it's obvious he likes this new girl. Basically there is an agreement we are 'friends' and he gave me a christmas card.
Should I delete him off facebook? Because basically I keep on getting hurt-but then I don't want to look like a cow :/

Any advice much appriciated :) (link)
He screams player.. He seems like the kind of guy that is sooo in love!! Untill he finds something he doesn't like or something like that *Not trying to insult you my dear* but you can do so much better than him!
