is there an easy way to get guys attention w/o acting slutty? because its very hard when guys are teenagers and have sex on the mind at all times

To get a guy's attention without acting slutty, you need to have confidence and you need to be yourself. Start to flirt with him by smiling at him. Wear cuter clothes and do your hair and make up differently. Things like that will get a guy's attention. Hope I helped :)

ok so i like really like this guy but hes got a gf, ive liked him for almost a year now and i dont know if i should give up on him or not. me and him are pretty close friendship wise but it looks like him and his gf are gonna be together for a long time.

should i give up or should i just wait it out?

You should definitely wait everything out because if you've liked him for a long time, you shouldn't just give up. If you have a pretty close friendship with this guy, you should definitely ask him if there would be a possibilty of you two going out in the future. If this guy breaks up with this girl and you aren't there, how would he feel if he liked you? Hope I helped :)

Ok i know this is kinda gross, but i have really bad backne. (acne on my back) I dont know what to! I have to wear this really pretty dress to banquet in May, and its spagetti strap. These dont mix. Does anyone know any easy non painful ways to get rid of it? i rate high!

I used to have acne on my back too and I started taking Natural's Cure for Women pills and I started using the body acne spray from the same name and it helped get rid of my acne. If you use some kind of astrigent such as Seabreeze Astrigent, that will help too. Hope I helped :)

I go to a catholic school and we are supposed to do Confession on friday and i dont have a clue what to do...well i know what to do, i just dont know what to say? can anyone help?

Before you confess, you say: "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been (how many weeks or months) since my last Confession." Then you just tell the priest your sins. Hope I helped :)

my mom always say that when ever i wear make up i wear wayyy too much but im really not...what can i say to her?

My mom used to be the same as your mom, but this was a few years ago. Try showing your mom a picture of a girl who wears too much make up and show her the difference between a little bit of make up and a lot. Just tell her that you aren't wearing too much make up. Hope I helped :)

what exactly is eating a girl out?

When a guy eats out a girl, it's oral sex and it means that he uses his tounge "down there" on a girl. Hope I helped :)

Someone added me to their favorite's list nd now when i click on they're name, it doesnt show ne thin.. so i looked them up in the "search columnists" nd they weren't there.. wuts up with that?

Does this columnist have a space, a dash, etc in their name? If so, you need to copy their column name and then paste it into the link. Like this: http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=PASTE_NAME_HERE. You could also have spelt their name wrong too, which always happens to me. Those are two reasons on why this happens. Hope I helped :)

Are diet pills safe for me to take if I am only 16 years old? And is their quick results? Thanks!

Nope, diet pills aren't safe, especially for a 16 year old. They only work for some people and most of the time, you don't see quick results if you have any health problems (that's what my mom said, since she tried diet pills). Hope I helped :)

I'm going to an event and I need a pretty dress that is short and sleevless or has thin straps. If anyone could post a website where I could find dresses like the ones I described I would appreciate it a lot. The price doesn't matter as long as it doesn't look junky, trashy, or cheap. Thanks... I'll rate 5's if they're nice!

Here are a few links: http://www.charlotte-russe.com http://www.rampage.com. Filene's and Macy's has a lot of dresses also. Hope I helped :)

I usually just use a little foundation with powder over it to set the foundation, but it really makes my skin look so dry and---dull. theres no dewyness or light to it. What are some types of makeup I can use to give my skin a dewy glow??

I have to agree with xXxpinky615xXx. "Dream Matte Mousse" by Maybelline is great and you will get that glowy look for your face. It's a great foundation and I'm using it right now and I love it. You can buy this at any store such as Target, Walmart, etc. Hope I helped :)

I'm trying to reduce my fat and sugar intake- can anyone suggest some low fat, low sugar foods that are good for you to eat on a regular basis? Also, my friend told me that pasta is fattening. I thought it was just complex carbohydrates- not fat or bad for you. Does anyone know how good pasta is for you?
Thanks.

Pasta is good for you because it has a lot of carbohydrates that will give you energy. You just can't have too much of it, since carbohydrates make you gain weight. Some low fat, low sugar foods are vegetables such as carrots, celery, etc. There are other foods too, but you can just search for other low fat and low sugar foods. Hope I helped :)

my bf and i have been going out for a month now and i really like him! but before him and i were going out i sorta liked this guy named steve. and he knows that i have a bf now and we still talk and were friends and everything, but now hes saying i love you and he asked me to the movies. i want to go and hang out with him. but im afraid that knowing he likes me now and the fact i used to like him will make me get feelings for him again!! and i don't wanna do that to my bf cuz i love him more then anything

should i or should i not go to the movies?
and what should i do about the whole situation

You should definitely go to the movies with Steve because you are only going as friends? There is no rule in a relationship stating that you can't go out somewhere with a friend while you are dating someone, right? But if I were, I would talk to your boyfriend about this and tell him that you are only going out as friends and maybe he can come with you and Steve so Steve gets the point that you love your boyfriend and that he will know that you are together. Your boyfriend should let you go with Steve. Hope I helped :)

how do i get better balance and posture?! are there any exercises?!

To get a better balance, try balancing a book over your head. Once you can do that, you'll have balance. Trust me, that works. To get a better posture, try sitting up and straight in a chair. This helps you not to slouch and will make you have a better posture. Hope I helped :)

Im 5`2 and right now 100 lbs. I'd rather be 95 like I normally am but my friends and family are constantly nagging at me about my weight. Is 100 lbs too little for someone my height?

Sweetie, weighing 100 pounds for your height is perfect. You are actually underweight and you don't need to lose any weight. Ignore your friends and family and tell them that you know you aren't fat or overweight and that they need to stop. If you feel that you need to lose those pounds, start eating healthy and exercising. You will feel better, trust me. Hope I helped :)

does anyone know any stores that sell band tshirts like boys not out, funeral for a friend, senses fail, a static lullaby, eTc`? hot topic doesn't. i rate.

Hmm, that's weird, I've always thought that Hot Topic would have shirts for those bands. Well, these bands are new so companies haven't started making shirts. The only place where I know where you could get shirts for these bands are online or at each of their shops on their websites, like other bands have. If you need any links, just tell me. By the way, you have great taste in music, since I love these bands also! Hope I helped :)
