about

I'm an 29 year old guy.
I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.

o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!

advice

ok there is this guy on myspace thats wants me to hang out with him. i don't know if i should. i know my mother wouldn't agree with it, so what should i do?? is it good to meet someone from online??

Alarm bells! Alarm bells!
You don't know who this guy is. No matter how genuine he seems, or how convinced you are that he is telling you the truth, the internet is like a big black balaclava. No, I'm not saying that you should never meet people from the internet. The danger is in how you meet them.
Never Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever meet somebody alone, or in a place where you can't be seen, heard, and helped by at least 20 people. What's more, never go alone, even if you are in a public place.

I have met 3 people from the internet, and all of them have been genuine. The most important thing you can do when you know somebody over the internet, and they want to meet you, or you want to meet them, is not trust them. It is the coldest thing I can imagine telling you, but it is true. Only by questioning people's truthfulness constantly, can you ever find out that they are lying to you. Often enough, I've found that bad people, the type who prey online will just stop talking to you, and block you as soon as you begin to question them. They know you're too intelligent to dupe into a dangerous situation, and you are a risk which could expose them. I suggest taking at least two (preferably male) friends to any meeting, and as before do it in a very public, very safe place.

Tell your mother, she is your best friend in this situation. If she doesn't understand, tell her about all the great advice you've been given ^.- If she really wouldn't understand, make sure you've told some very reliable people what you're going to be doing, and taken along a couple of your burliest friends. Instruct the people you've told where you're going to be to phone your mother, and the police if you don't contact them by a certain time, because it's your life, and your safety at risk.

Hope you meet the nicest, most genuine guy in the world...

Theres this guy and he is 16 and sometimes i think i have feelings for him lyk a boyfriend but then i dont.....he likes me and he said he wanted to screw me and i told him id let him but i dont know if i would let him because im only 12 and loosing my virginity at my age seems a lil to fast but i feel ready, and i think i want to?? should I??
~Clueless~

Ask your 'boyfriend' if he's a virgin, I'll bet you he's not. Why are you so willing to lose your virginity to him? I think at your age maybe you haven't really thought a lot about the value of your virginity. It's not something you get to go back on. I have known a lot of girls who have let someone take their virginity too young, and regretted it for years. I'm sorry if everybody is a little mean about this, but it's probably because most of them are older and have made mistakes of their own already. Take it from those who know, your 'boyfriend' is probably just trying to take advantage of you. Be sure I'm not saying you should immediately go out and dump him. If you really like him, then you can keep seeing him, just take things slowly. Don't let him play you into doing anything you don't truly want to do, because you will regret it the rest of your life. In my personal opinion, putting myself in your situation, I wouldn't go NEAR a guy who said he wanted to "screw me". Not only is the expression of interest vulgar, and blunt as a brick, but you might not know him as well as you though. Rape is always a surprise, otherwise women would not place themselves in situations where it would happen. At the very least, consider that the word "screw" has more than one meaning.

Please don't...

I just got the Sims 2 for Mac. It says it requires 1 MB of free space, where can I go on my computer to see how much free space I have.

Are you sure it's only 1mb? That sounds like a ridiculous figure. Anyway, I'm not here to question that. If you are running OS 7/8/9.anything select your hard drive, and hold Command(Apple), while pressing the "i" key once. A window will pop up with information about your hard disk, including free space. If you are running OS X, There are a number of ways you may be able to find out, but I think they differ slightly from 10.1 through to 10.4. If you can see your hard disk on the desktop, use the same method as for OS 9. If you cannot, try clicking on the desktop once, holding Command(Apple), and pressing the comma/full-stop key. This should bring up a window where you have the option to show your hard drive on your desktop. If this doesn't work on one of the 10.somethings, hold Command(Apple), and press the "n" key. This will bring up a new window, through which you can find your hard drive, and use Command i.
If you need any more Mac advice I'm your person ^.- Using a Mac since I was 7

i really like this boy and he knows i like him but im afraid to ask him wat he thinks of me,but i dont want to get rejected wat should i do.

Either ask a friend to find out for you, or ask him yourself. Think about why you're afraid to ask him. If it's because he might tell you that he doesn't like you, then what's the difference? Isn't it better to know straight out than find out later? Don't be afraid of embarrassment, because the only thing that you can really be embarrassed by is loosing your own dignity. If he's a jerk about it, it's not your problem. If people laugh and talk about it don't worry. They'll forget about it in a few days when somebody else does some stupid little insignificant thing they think they can laugh about.
Two sayings to live by:
The things you regret most, are those that you didn't do.
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it often anyway.
