I'm a level II mod on this site, so if you have questions regarding the site I could be of good help.

As for my crappy advice: it is crappy. If you listen to anything I suggest you will most probably find yourself running through town naked, or something equally hilarious, because I am a sadist.

And of course, I will hit you with my guitar, and then steal all of your intelligence for my own personal stash.

on the first day of school i met this kid and he complimented me on a couple things because we have alot in common. every time we passed eachother in the halls he'd wave, smile, or say hi, and everyone said he def. liked me. well the past week he hasnt been even looking at me so i was getting upset, then i learned from other people that he has a gf who he's been with for a long time. well yesterday at church he sat behind me and he's like "YOU... YOU... i jerked off to you last night" and hes like "and you were the girl from my dream..." and i was like oh cool! and we started talking, and he was like "how come you never say hi to me in the halls anymore?"... so im confused i think he likes me but i dunno about his gf. what do you think?

Jesus, I'm not even religious... but there are some things you just don't say in a religious atmosphere!

Maybe he's going to break up with his girlfriend. Even so, if he does, I just wouldn't fall into his arms, I mean, the kid wanked to you!

Relationship-wise: Keep a safe distance for now, until you know more.

Sorry this is long, but to me it's IMPORTANT
okay, I want to get a cell phone, and I have the money to buy one, but my mom said that she won't pay for the bill, so I was thinking of getting the minute cards, because I babysit a lot, just I don't babysit regularly, and I don't have a job, so pretty much I was wondering where I could get minute cards and maybe how much they are
I don't know if this is the type of question that gets deleted, so please answer!! Oh and just to let you know, I hate it when people ask to be rated, so if you do I either won't rate, or will give you a one

If you have $30 each month, then you should look at the Verizon pre-paid, T-Mobile pre-paid, and the other major companies. What their pre-paid plans are is essentially the same idea as their regular plans, with different minutes for different times, peak hours and stuff, only without getting your credit card involved.

Virgin Mobile however, gives you a steady rate, it's always $0.25 a minute, so it's easier to keep track of your usage.

As for the cards themselves, you can buy them at 7-11, pharmacies, lots of places. Each company has an online locater telling you where you can buy them. Most companies have them for $20, $30, $50 or $60, $75, and $100.

You also need to check the expiration rates on the cards. With the major companies, the more you pay, the longer it lasts. $30 gets you one month, $60 gets you 2 months, so it really just follows an average.

Virgin Mobile, all their cards last 3 months.

In the end, it comes down to how much you're going to need the phone. If you think you're going to use it as much as a regular plan cell phone, go for the bigger companies. If not, go with Virgin Mobile.

okay its long but please help ..
i've been talking to this guy i kno from school for like a year now and he asked if i wanna hangout with him sumtime and i said yea but for like a week we were both busy .. this new girl came from rhode island and she got people screen names and started to talk to them and stuff .. she talked to him and was like do u wanna hangout sumtime (( like just as friends) .. but he fell for her .. they didnt go out tho ,, now school started and she doesnt like him anymore but i dont kno if he still likes her becaus we still talk .. i am really confused and i keep telling myself to just ask but i dont wanna ruin anything between us if we're just friends .. i really like him .. what do i do ? =( please help me

If a new person comes to your neighborhood, there is a small hype that'll wear away. He'll probably stop liking her soon.

So you shouldn't be making any moves on him while he's still liking her, because then it may ruin the friendship. Wait it out a bit.

When I logged on it said I had 1 thing in my Inbox so I clicked then when it loaded it said that I didn't have any unanswered questions. So does that mean I don't have any questions or it is a mistake with the site?

Did you click the link in an email that brought you right to the question someone asked you? If you do that, it's still shows as "1 new message" on the sidebar, but if you click it, it'll say you have no messages, and when you refresh, it won't say you have a new one anymore.

This year at My new Middle School* I met this really Cute boy .. + He's in like all my Classes and we became really good friends.. well about a couple days ago He asked me out and i said yeah! But Then i found out that he only had one gurlfriend but they went out for awhile but they never did anything so his friend told me he thinks he never kissed! Well I dont JuSs wanna be a couple that talks i wanna kiss and hold hands and that lil Stuff! So should i JuSs make the move or should i tell his friend to get him to do it ?! Oh but he does hug* lol!! Alright.. Please Help Me Out

He's probably the kind of person who is too shy to initiate a hug, or a kiss, or holding hands, or having a girlfriend at all.

So I'd say it's your move if you wanna get some lovin` out of him.

everyday we go to lunch and me and a few friends play truth or dare.. well like im never dared to do anything so im usually happy. i was dared the other day to kiss this boy jake.. and i did. because him and i have kissed before.. yeh sure its no harm done and we acted like it never happened. but my friends made a BIG deal over it for nothing.. what do i do to tell them to chill!?

Just be bold and assertive:

"It was JUST truth or dare, stop making so much of it!"

Well, if that doesn't work, give it some time, the hype from the kiss will wear down.

ok my little problem is...that I've had many gurlz ask me to Homecoming...I mean I got gurlz from 6 different schools asking me...and like 2/3 or 4 from each school..c im very flattered..but if I go with 1 of them the others will get really pissed..if you got any idea on what I should do or/and who I should choose..tell me

Kev

Are the other ones friends or something? Or is it just the result of silly HS crushes?

If they're all friends: I don't know, you may just want to not go.

If it's just silly HS crushes: Choose one, if the rest get pissed, so be it.

Okay, I'm a freshman and there's this junior in my spanish class. Well, I always catch him looking at me, like all the time. And he's REALLY cute. But he has a girlfriend, I'm just wondering.. but what do you think about this? His smile like melts me, and i'm just wondering if there's something there.

Oh, the perils of taking advanced classes...

He has a girlfriend, and you know little about his relationship with her. Maybe he is going to break up with her, who knows?

Juniors coming onto freshmen, it really doesn't happen often. Maybe be does want to be friends with you, that happens with freshmen and upper-classmen.

This is just a crush, one that will fade away, as all crushes do, you just need to deal through it, and make sure you're not losing focus in Spanish class over it.

my bf never really talkes to me that much..unless were sorta alone which never happens!! if we aren't alone..then he just kind smiles if i say something..or is just like ok.. i realllly like him!! what do i do..??

-talking concerns

A poll (sorry, I forgot from where) showed that most people would rather die than undergo public speaking.

Now, that's not necessarily true, but it gets the idea across: People freaken hate public speaking.

He's just shy, like lots of people. There's not much you can do to change it, all you can do is try to get into more situations where you're alone.

i have a bf and one of my really good guy frinds i think is crushing on me..i don't like him..but how do i find out if he likes me?

Why should you even bother finding out if he likes you?

If he starts coming on to you, make it clear that you don't like him.

Until then, don't worry about it.

Ok, I'm 14/f
And there is this guy at my church. He is soo funny and he's a really good Christian, which is very important for me, and he has an awesome personality and is very fun to be around. The only problem is, he is really small. He is like 1/2 a foot shorter than me and weighs about 30 lbs less. Beside all this, I really like him a lot because of the inside, which is really what counts, but I'm afraid of what my friends would say if we dated. Because well, I've been known for going for the good-looking guys. So what should I do?

I know that in our society, we're just used to seeing the man taller than the woman.

But really, who cares? If he's as good of a person as you say he is, then go for him.

Forget what your friends think. The only time what your friends think should matter is when you're having trouble with the relationship, or if it's an abusive relationship, etc.

so theres this person who i met online. and hes the sweetest thing ever. and i know hes not some crazy stalker whos 76 yet he always says he loves me and he wants to go out and everything. im freaked out that like..he says that. i mean i told him i wanted to get to know him and everything. but sometimes like..i forget about him. blah im just wondering what to say to him..

Internet = RED FLAG.

Avoid this at all costs. If he continues to insist that he wants to go out with you, well, he may not BE a 76 year old crazy stalker but he definitely thinks like one.

He may be nice to you, but that doesn't stand for much. It's easy to be nice over the internet.

You don't need to break off contact with him but please, do NOT meet him. Just keep regular conversations going. If he goes into the "I love you" mumbo-jumbo then just tell him "No."

If he decides to stop talking to you, so be it.

Hi my name is jess and theres this boy in my school that new i got to know him good and he started to like me than i think we went out now hes saying that his dad says he's to young to go out wit anyone is he saying that for a eccuses or do u think its true.
ps can you tell me what i could do to go out with him

How old are you two? Maybe he is too young (in his parents eyes). You shouldn't do anything that'll get him in trouble with his parents.

I met a great guy. He is so sweet and made me smile everytime he said something...but there is always a catch isn't there!! A few days later he told me he liked this girl as if he had NO CLUE I liked him..sooo..what's the deal here? Should I just lay off and not talk to him now that he is with this girl?

Don't stop talking to him just because he likes another girl, he's still a friendly person and you can still enjoy the time you spend with him.

It may evolve into a relationship with him someday, you never know, his thing with the other girl may never happen, or if it does it may not last, like most relationships.

Wait a little bit on that, it's too early to tell.

hey im a 13 male and since 6th grade (im in 8th grade now) i've been getting a few annoying crushes. so let me striaghten this. i hate having crushes. why? because they're on people that play no point in my life. 6th grade was an ok crush, at least i talked to the girl often, but 7th grade, i must have heard 20 words from the girl towards me all year, she was a tom boy and i played no point in her life, and hers in mine, though i had a crush on her. now, in 8th grade, i do believe i have yet another on a girl that hasn't said ONE word to me. dont tell me to talk to her, i just want it to go away. why am i getting crushes on girls that i havent even spoken 2. this girl is in 3 of my classes, and i dont know i just like her. like i dont even have to hear her voice and i like her. its strange, just people with a certan air about them, i favor. mods dont delete. its just bugging me. is this normal?

It's perfectly normal. You're 13 -- the hormones are raging.

But it's very good that you can accept that crushes mean nothing.

It'll all go away eventually, you'll have crushes on different girls, forget about old crushes (and think: Why did I ever like her?). In about two years you'll stop having crushes and be more interested in relationships.

Ok there's this kid named Chris and he's pretty much all my classes. Sometimes I'll just glance over at him and hes like looking at me or staring at me. The thing is I never really talk to him or anything. I just wanted to know if he likes me? I don't think so but you can never tell! Thanks! I rate!

I think it's too early to tell. He's probably interested (not necessarily liking you, yet) in you, but you don't really know anything more yet, and jumping to conclusions could be bad.

Just give it some more time.

Every day i go to school and i see all these couples walking around together. I'm really jealous because i want to be one of those guys that other people look at walking with their g/fs. The only problem is that there is nobody at my school that i can see myself goin out with right now. What can i do? (I'm a freshman)

You're only a freshman... anyone who is going out that early really doesn't know what the hell they are doing. There's no reason to be jealous of them.

Wait a little bit, as you take more classes as you go through the years, you'll meet more people; you're guaranteed to meet someone to be your girlfriend.

well my friend Amanda finch cuts. she cant stop. plz help she wants to kill herslef and i hope she doesnt! help! how do i support her?! i need ideans and QUICK!

This is something that you definitely can't do by yourself. And you need to take action fast:

(From http://www.spacefem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16069):

Crisis Helpline (for any kind of crisis) (800) 233-4357
Youth Crisis Hotline (800) 448-4663
Sanctuary Crisis Line (800) 548-5222
Crisis Line for the Handicapped (800) 426-4263
American Suicide Foundation (800) 531-4477
National Child - At Risk Hotline (800) 792-5200
Don’t cut 1-800-DONT-CUT
crisis hotline 1-800-CONTACT

You may want to call them by yourselves, you may want to see if you can get her to call some.

If she says she'll call some, and you're not sure if you can trust her to do so, call some by yourself.

Tell an adult you trust, a doctor, a school counselor -- someone.

And you have to stick near her and support her the entire time. No matter how many people she talks to and calls up, you being there to help her is a necessity, she can't do it without you.

This is kind of long, but I'd like advice. I have a friend, and we've been buds since first grade. Ever since we met, we fight about the dumbest things! Like, I became best best friends with someone, and hung out with that girl a lot. I hung out with my other friend a lot too. She always emailed me saying, "You blow me off!" It gets me soo mad! Then like a day later she totally acts all sweet and like my best friend. Then a month later she pulls that crap again! We fight a lot, and she always starts it and acts like I did. She's always been like this, and if I talk to her, she'll totally bring up little mistakes I've made and act all rude again! What should I do??????

Granted it is a tough friendship to tolerate, just don't ditch the person yet -- you can't ditch her before she knowing why and without trying to fix the problem.

You need to tell her that what she's doing is annoying you and you feel it's ruining the friendship.

After you tell her that, she'll do one of two things: Get very annoyed at you, and you two will cease to be friends, or she'll realize that she should stop, and you two will be friends again.

If she does the second thing, then the friendship just wasn't meant to be.

Ok i made a big mistake by saying i didn't want to kiss my boyfriend just yet (he wants to) but i've just realised today that i really do! We went shopping after school today and i kept trying to get us into a situation where he could kiss me but he didn't take the hint! How should i let him know subtly that i want to?!

Do you have to be subtle? Why can't you just kiss him?

Oh well, if you want it to be a natural movie-like kiss moment, then you could find a time and make some long eye contact with him, and start leaning in, he'll catch on, you know the rest.

Have fun ;)
