advice

My friend and I haven't ever hung out outside of school. I am a 16 year old girl and he is a 16 year old boy. We see each other everyday for practice but now we're gonna hang out outside of school and we finally found time and we are hanging out the 21st and 22nd. I am excited to spend this time with him and we are going to be with other people, I am just afraid I might annoy him, I want him to have fun, but he's a shy guy. So, how do I let him get loose and joke around without being annoying to him?

Hey,
Being yourself will not annoy him. He must already like who you are as a person if he wants to hang out with you outside of practise and he will have fun as long as you are having fun and letting loose. When a person is smiling and doing fun stuff around you, it is hard not to have fun yourself. Making him feel included and welcome will help him be more outgoing, but other than that, it is up to the individual. He will not be shy if you make him feel comfortable

Alright, I have one of those movie friendships. Everyone thinks my friend and I are going to fall in love, get together, get married one day and live happily ever after. I am a 16 year old girl as is he 16. We have been best friends for.. well, forever, since the first day of third grade. We had this little clique, me, him, and two boys that both had turned out to um, like boys. They had since moved away and it's just me and him left from that third grade class. We have our own friends but we are both close as well. Everyone thinks since we are so close, we're hiding a relationship, that we really like each other.

I just want to tell you a few things about our relationship and you can tell me if you believe everyone else or you think me and him are right in this.
My friend is really shy, he's an amazing guy and he would take a bullet for me but he doesn't talk a lot. Leading to low self esteem and hardly any confidence, I really have to watch what I say around him or I know he'll get kinda down about it but when he does I do whatever I can to make him happy, I give him little confidence boosts, I guess you could call them. On the off chance that I am having a bad day, he knows it and he asks, he won't make me tell him what's wrong, he won't push the subject (even though I always tell him anyway), I then apologize for dumping all of my problems on him and making him feel obligated to help me out and he always comes back with a remark similar to "you don't have to apologize, I want to know what's bothering you, I care." We talk all the time, we talk in school, at band practice, at fundraisers and when we aren't together, we text. We talk about a lot of random things and that's what I like about him, he can just be laid back, we don't have to talk about anything serious. We are both in the marching band at our school and everyday after practice, I give him crackers, the same kind everyday because he loves them. Every one said I'm like his mom. The first time I got silly bandz when the whole thing started at my school, I was talking to him about them and he said he doesn't like anything on his wrists, he likes nice and bare but when I put them on his desk and showed them to him, he picked one up and wore it until it broke a lot of months later. I have trouble in a class that he excels in so I text him and ask him if he can help me with the homework or the notes and he would ask me what exactly I needed and he would help me so much. His mom is quite fond of me, ever since we talked for a while at a band function. The last time I saw her, it was raining quite heavy and she told me to not get sick and stay bundled up. Lastly, my friend has such a passion for music, he writes songs and plays guitar. He plays his guitar for me when I'm sad but he doesn't sing for me. Ever. He said he can sing in front of his other friends and he sings at parties but he won't sing for me.

So, what do you think? Do you believe everyone else? I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks!

Hey there,
Well.. I am not so sure about the "getting married and living happily ever after" part.. but it is a possibility. It sounds as if you two have a very caring, helpful, loving, friendship. He sounds like a great guy and if you feel as if you would like to start a relationship, I would definately say "go for it!". He sounds like everything and more. I think that it is cute how you give him the crackers that he loves and it is nice how you do take care of him; and him for you. He obviously appreciates the things you do and the only reason that I can think of for why he would not sing while playing his guitar for you, is because he has feelings for you, but does not know how to fully express them. As in, he has these feelings built inside that probably want him to open up and sing for you, but there is a little part that is holding back.. and waiting for you to make your way in first.

I would tell him how great of a person he is. Tell him how much you appreciate him, the little things he does, and how he can play his guitar so wonderfully when you are down. When you two are alone and his guitar is sitting near.. ask him if he will sing for you. I am positive he will, but if he doesn't.. I guarantee a smile or grin that means he really wants to :)

As for what your friends say.. falling in love is definately the first step on your way to a very possible "Happily ever after"... trust your instincts ;)

my friends boyfriend is conservative and they dont have the guts to make the first move to kiss each other, how should she make the move on him (since she knows hes not going to do it)?

Hey there,
One way she could do it is to sit near him (say on a couch), get comfortable together (this is key), lean into his shoulders, make some sweet talk, then when he is gazing down into her eyes.. wait a few seconds then just go for it! Since they are already going out, I am sure he will take it as a pleasant surprise and eventually he may want to try and kiss her first.. since he will know how she feels. He might not want to initiate it right away, but after she does a few times, he will be sure to have more faith in himself making a move.

My boyfriend was quite conservative too, and once we both knew we felt the same way, it was fairly simple moving forward from there. Just know confidently that he is feeling it too and do not be afraid to show how you feel. Saying things like "I really like this time we have together" and him responding "I do too" (or something simular) will let you know he is feeling the same way.

Letting your flirty side out and giving him a sweet peck on the lips is nice too. You never know... he may end up wanting a bit more ;)

Hey guys I have dirty blonde/brown hair that is about an inch past my shoulders and it's wavy. What are some reAlly pretty hair styles I can do for the first day of school and also for something to look really pretty that shouldn't take more than 5-15 minutes. Also I'm going to camp this week and we can take straightener and stuff but my boyfriend is goin to be there and I want to look really pretty but I want it to be some thing simple. Oh and I have side bangs to the right and I'm 13 and about 5' 1" so please help quick!!!! :) thank soooo muchh!!

Hey there,
Heres a few you can do:
1. A low pony: Just leave some of your bangs out and pull your hair back into a loose pony that is just above your shoulder.

Go to google.ca .. go to images, then type in "Hayden low ponytail" to see a sweet picture.

2. A Side Part: Take a comb and part your hair halfway between the top of your head and one ear. Make sure the part is straight and it will instantly give an offset look that will make people turn to look twice at you. You will be a new person with a twist.

3. A high pony: Gather all your hair into a bunch just below the very top of your head, pull out a few strands to leave at the sides if you want, then continue to put the rest in a ponytail leaving the strands to hang down off your head.

4. The bump: Gather a handful of hair from the front of your head if you have long side bangs, then flip that hair towards your back, pinning it with a bobby pin, creating a bump. You can leave the rest to hang down or put it into a ponytail. It takes a little practise, but you can do it.

http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://thebeautybunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/paris-hilton-rocks-the-bump.jpg&imgrefurl=http://thebeautybunny.com/page/87/&usg=__yNK8hqofEE5h-b6etTmaUTbNLaQ=&h=300&w=221&sz=17&hl=en&start=0&tbnid=xNg83e3so2a3jM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=103&prev=/images%3Fq%3DParis%2BHilton%2Bhair%2Bbump%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1276%26bih%3D567%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=375&ei=XIljTOzQJcOAlAfvtf2GCQ&oei=XIljTOzQJcOAlAfvtf2GCQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=32&ty=46

5. Straight but Wavy: Leave all your hair wavy, except straighten your bangs right out and have them to the side or pinned up with an accessory.

6. Bun with some bangs: Put your hair into a bun and leave some bangs out, so after you pull all your hair into a bun, you can pin your bangs to the side with a flower or bobbypin.

http://www.haircutsfashion.com/2009/04/prom-2009-elegant-updo-hairstyles-for.html

7. Spirals: Take all your hair, twist it like a rope, then wrap it around so it goes into a bun, then put it in place with an elastic. For a different look, divide your hair into three sections (left, middle, right), twist each section individually, then twist all the three twisted sections together, putting it into a pony and then leaving the ends to hang normally.

These are some quick, pretty simple looks that I can think of, but if you would like more ideas you can go to google images to check out any hairstyles. They are not too hard to do if you just tweek the look a little. After styling, use hairspray to hold it in place longer. Also, you could go to "youtube.ca" later to watch videos of how to do a ton of updos.

Don't be afraid to be creative with your hair :) If you want me to find some more styles for you, feel free to inbox me. It is totally fun to wear a new style, and I am sure when you are rocking the true you... your boyfriend will still love it

So when I was five I got shingles which is like chicken pocks, but worse. I got it on my bottom. and The doctor said not to scratch it, my mom said the same thing. But I did, I scratched it a lot and I completely covered in scabs. Well now I have scars on my bottom, and I also sometimes get small break outs of acne on my body, usually my face neck shoulders back and bottom. But usually one or two on my face one or two on my shoulders and back and same for my bottom. But Usually they go away. But I have a really scarred up bottom and it really ruins my self confidence because there's nothing I can do, I also have a big scar down my back from a surgery sometimes I feel okay about it, other times I hate it. My boyfriend and I are sexually active and he likes my body, but I always hide my bottom from him and my breasts since they're sorta small. It bugs him a lot, I recently told him why I hide it and he says he's seen and doesn't mind and thinks I'm still just as sexy and beautiful.
I don't care though, I still fill really self conscious and disgusting. I cry sometimes about this.
I can't stand it. How can I hide these imperfections? Or hide the scars or even better, how can I get rid of them. I'm sixteen and I'm not the richest and I just really need to know how I can at least boost my self confidence and not feel so disgusted or help get rid of this flaw.

Hey there,
Yea, it can be very hard not to scratch something that is itchy. I had chicken pocks before and even now I have scars from scratching some alot.

One thing that works really well is salicylic acid; it is one of the top recommendations to ged rid of acne problems. You can find it in a drug store where all other acne products would be. Once you have it, you just wash your skin wherever there is acne, apply the salicylic, lather up, wait a few minutes, then rub sugar in a circular motion into your face/back/shoulders, wash, and then moisturize with something like coco butter.

As for your shingles, you can do the same thing; use the salicylic acid process. It can take up to a year, but if you do it consistantly, you will have the results of the shingles starting to go away and then completely disappearing for good. Depending on where you buy these products, it can cost about $16 for the salicylic acid and $6 for the coco butter. Sugar, you may already have in your house.

You must have a great boyfriend, and since he is very supportive to you, you could ask him to help you apply this formula to your acne and scars if you are comfortable. Making it an effort between bf/gf will encourage you to stick to this routine, make you feel proud of yourself, and bring you closer together knowing you are both helping the situation. It is alright to have small breasts, believe me.. you wouldn't want huge ones where you can hardly run without having to stop because your breasts are thumping up and down. I know a lot of girls that wish for small ones like yours. Love who you are... your boyfriend already does ;)

I am 30 years old and I live in Guatemala with my mother and one brother only, I has a boyfriend since last april, in my family don’t accept our love, especially my mom, but I am deeply in love with him, at the last weekend he propose me and I was agree to get married… we decided to lived in my house because I bought it, but I am fearful of their reaction.

Hi,
I would explain to your family that you really love this guy and that if they say they trust you, they should support your decision. They are your family, so they have to at least give him a chance. Talk to them about your relationship and the living situation; let them know you would really appreciate the support, that you accept their opinion, but that you have to trust your heart as well.

If you talk it over with them they will be more likely to accept the relationship and allow you to be with him. They may have a shocked reaction at first, but at least you will have told them and they will have time to warm up to your guy. Eventually your mom will love him too, you just have to show her how happy he makes you and how respectful he is towards you

My boyfriend and I got back together, the night we did though he was explaining something personal to me, how he had been hurt really bad by his ex... and I know he loves me unconditionally... but the way he looked when he said her name... it makes me wonder if i'm his second choice.. that if she moved back that maybe i wouldn't even exist anymore.. and it scares me more than anything because i would go to the ends of the earth for him and only him.. and i'm scared that he feels the same way i do about her but he thinks he feels that way about me... i'm willing to be patient... i know he loves me and cares for me... i just wonder if he cares and loves her more.. but doesn't let anyone know...he gave something to me he said he'd give to only one girl in the world... but that fear is still there.. am i just paranoid?


Hey there,
I believe that when he told you, he didn't mean to worry you, he wanted you to understand what he is going through. He obviously trusts you and your opinion if he tells you about his ex. If he got back with you, he must love you more and if you know him as an honest person who treats you right, then he would not get back together just to get rid of you. Also, if his ex hurt him really bad, I doubt there is any chance of him going back to her again after whatever she did. No you are not paranoid, you are just concerned and you would like to know that everything is alright.

I believe his look was one of "I could never trust her again". When someone hurts you really bad, you can't help but look saddened or mad when you hear their name. One of my friends hurt me bad and whenever I hear her name my face probably shows hurt, but it could be interpreted differently by different people. I think he wanted to be reassured you would be there for him and that you wouldn't hurt him the way she did.

Every guy will have a little bit of emotion for the person they left, but that doesn't matter once they move on. If he said you are the only one girl in the world and he gave you something special, I believe he has moved on to you. If an honest guy tells you straight you are the only one, he usually means it. Let him know that you really care for him and that you don't want anything to come between you two (that way you don't bring up his ex, but he will know that you are there for him). If he says he feels the same way, there is likely nothing to worry about

Okay so, This school year I met this guy and we were really good friends. We would walk everywhere together and we had the best inside jokes. We even stayed up until 5 o'clock in the morning just to help each other out, or just to talk. We were around each other so much that people started making rumors about how we were going out, even though we weren't. Every time we looked at each other we would smile, and there's not one time I can remember when we were mad at each other or unhappy together. I really like him, and I think he likes me back. From what is said up there ^^^ do you think I have a chance with him?

Hey there,
Yes. By what you said, it sounds as if you have found a guy for you. If you respect eachother, have things in common, make eachother laugh, and make eachother happy, go for it! You never know, unless you try ;)

My girlfriend and I as of 11 months July27, are having an issue. There's this guy I CANT STAND. He's done a lot of things I can't stand him for, (they went out a long time ago for one) I know thats a stupid reason to dislike him and I guess I dont really hate him for it. It just makes me feel iffy but anyway, I was having a convo with him one day and he started calling me a "fucking retard" jokingly, I explained to him that it bothers me a lot and to please not do that because I have a 19 year old sister to whom is mentally challenged and its mean to speak of people with disabilities as a joke. After I explained all that to him he told me "get over it you big baby" and started laughing, we got in a fight and basically I want to kick his ass.. Hes always "harmlessly" trying to flirt with her. I trust her 100% I swear on my life I love her like no other. I just cant stand him. He also tried to "nibble" her neck while her and I were going out for 2 months. Is it to much for me to ask for her to just stop talking to him? I asked her not to and she keeps talking to him and he she says that im wrong for not trying to talk to him

Hey,
No, it is not too much to ask her to stop talking to her. You two are together, not him and her, but this guy is her friend. You cannot really stop a girl from having her friends, so she should at least be able to talk to him.

When she does something as if she is in a relationship with him (letting him nibble on her, kissing, or any touching), then you should talk to her and say "I really don't appreciate when you do ______", and be serious. If she doesn't listen, tell her 'if she loves you she wouldn't be so rude to you'. If you don't want to talk to the guy because you feel hate inside, then don't. If he smartens up, try to talk to him. At least let your girl know what this guy said to you. It will help her understand how you feel about him.

If she doesn't change her act, maybe it is time to move on. Since you do really love her, keep trying to talk some sense into her (nicely, by discussing problems). Eventually she will listen; it will take time and rough patches, but it is possible

Hi im me and my best friends are 6th graders we mostly do everything together. She has this cute brother but his in the 8th grade. 1 or 2 of my friends say he night have a crush on me. But im scared to ask out my best friend brother out. So what do i?

Hey there,
I would ask your friend if it is alright, and then if she says sure.. go for it! My best friend dumped me for my brother and it crushed me. She didn't even warn me. I would talk to her first, that way she will be more understanding. Unless you, your best friend, and her bro are close, talk about it beforehand.

I would also ask the guy how he feels about you or send him hints so that you can see how he reacts before you ask him. It is fine if you ask him out, just see how your friend feels first

18/f
So I was at a party and I seen this guy there that I havent seen in a few years. We will call him Luke. We talk a little and so on. I get really wasted and pass out. I woke back up a few hours later and went downstairs to the party. I went back up stairs to pass out again cause I was still wasted and Luke was in the room. He was drunk too. He asked if he could pass out in there too or something. I said whatever sure. So we are laying down and just talking about people from school and stuff. I asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said something like that they were on bad terms or something. He grabs my hand. Then our faces are getting closer and closer together and we start making out. Then before I knew it, my pants were off. Then he went to get a condom and came back in the room and we had sex. After that we cuddled the rest of the night and stuff. My friend comes in the room and says we have to leave and Luke is still passed out and nothing will wake him up so I left without saying bye. I texted him a little later and told him that I kinda felt bad about what had happened because he has a girlfriend. Then he texts me and asks what happened. WTF right!? I was thinking how the hell am I supposed to tell him this. So i told him and his reaction was just oh boy. Then he said that its his fault not mine and to just let it pass. So thats where the situation is now. What should I do? I want to talk to him so badly but I dont want to come off as desperate. I know im going to see him again. Thats a fact. Oh yeah, he has been dating this girl for like 3 years or so.

Hey there,
You should tell him to tell his girlfriend that: you two were pretty wasted, that he made a mistake, that he is sorry, and that he hopes she will forgive him. If he doesn't tell her, she is going to find out sooner or later. It is definately better for him to tell her straight or else she could really blow on him when she finds out from someone else or some other way.

I know you probably feel bad cause you want to do something to help. Just try what I said. She may be mad at him at first, but at least he will have been honest with her. The more likely she is to forgive him if he comes clean and tells her it will never happen again.. and the sooner he does it. The reason why he doesn't want to do anything is cuz he's a guy and guys just want to not have to deal with shit. But shit does happen, and if he tells her what I said, he may be forgiven.

If they've been dating for three years, they are obviously pretty close. Let him do the talking to his girlfriend. His honesty and love is the only thing that will help them get back on the same level

Does having sex in the anus make you not a virgin

Hey there,
Most often people say when you break your hymen inside your vagina due to penitration, you are no longer considered a 'virgin'. But, it also depends on what the person believes. Some people believe that when they have any kind of sex (anal, vaginal, foreplay, fingering, etc.) they are not a virgin. Where some believe only vaginal sex will make you not a virgin.

I would say no, you are still a virgin if you had anal sex, but it all depends on what you consider a 'virgin'. Everyones opinion is different, but you can talk about it with your guy to decide what you want to call it if it matters to him. Otherwise, the most common definition is what I said first

Well its a long story..me and my relationship with my boyfriend. To me its like a romeo and juliet type of thing. His grandmother doesn't understand my boy friend, at all she doesnt want him to date me. She thinks im trashy? When I'm far from it :,( She was apparently stalking my fb page and my friends, they acutally went as far as to creat an account as lous cousin Cody..but it was really his aunt trying to figure things out about us. So we have to hide were dating, its so stressing and the thought of not being able to call him if I NEED him just scares me. He calls me every chance he gets behind her back, my boy friends the most amazing guy I have ever been with and I miss him so bad..He knows this to, he tells me just to keep strong and to think that we will see each other soon..*I'm going into highschool this year* I'm so stressed..and so depressed right now..i should be happy my birthdays coming up..:/ I've been threw the ringer with this guy, with people starting stuff between us, All i know is that I love my boy friend..and I want to stay strong for him, but I don't know if I have enough courage? What should I do?

14 1/2 f

Hey,
Don't take what his Grandma says to heart. She has her opinions of girls and only the person dating her would really know what type of girl you are (your boyfriend!). A lot of Adults think people can be something they are not just by what they wear or how they talk. I believe wearing or talking a certain way expresses who you are or who you want to be.

Yeah, she shouldn't of stalked your facebook page, but you know.. a lot of people out there look at facebook pages all the time so they can know info about a person. I am not saying it is right, what I mean is, if you want anything to be personal.. don't say everything about yourself on an internet page. Anyone is bound to read it, even employers when you are getting a job.

It seems rediculous that you cannot even call him. Tell his Grandma in a respectful way that you are not a trashy person and you didn't want to come off as trashy, so you hope she can put that behind her. Doing so will help her realize that you can stick up for yourself in a good way, you respect her wishes but you want some time with him, and that she should maybe give you more of a chance. Ask her if you could call him once a week. If she says no, wait a few days then ask again. Eventually she will let you call him once a week. Then after a while of allowing him to call you once a week, try to make it two. If you can, also try to make visits to his grandmas house to hang out with your guy. Do not hang out in a back room, be out in the living room watching tv or something. If you show a good impression in front of her, she will change how she sees you now.

To de-stress, listen to your favorite music, go for a walk, do something new, ask his Grandma if he can come over for your birthday. Call over when she is home and say "I was hoping I could ask you a question..", then ask if he can come over for your birthday. The more you talk to her one on one, the more his Grandma will think shes being heard. Make sure you say 'please'. If she says no, wait a few days, then ask again. Tell her you would really like it if your guy could come visit you anytime (eventually she will). His Grandma does have a nice bone in her, you just have to find it.

If people are starting stuff between you, prove to them that it is not true by being who you really are and telling them it isn't true. You are stronger than you think and you do have the courage in you. All you are looking for is a little support. Talk to your guy, tell him what you told me. That you are depressed and you love it when he talks/hangs out with you. Let him know you need him to help you do what I said to make his Grandmother feel like you are on the same page. He is likely to support you no matter what. Once you are working together with your guy; showing his Grandma that you and your boyfriend respect eachother and you are not who she thinks, anything is possible

What does it mean?

Hey,
To 'have a sense of rebelling' means you do/say what you believe is right and not against what is right. It is not about drugs, drinking, or doing anything violent.

Say, if you really like pants with chains, so you tend to wear pants with chains.. Then your friends are all wearing jeans and tell you that you should wear jeans too. Since you like your own pants, you tell them no thanks. Once you tell them no, they may think of you as a rebel for not doing what they think and for being yourself, which may be a strange wierdo to them, but it wouldn't bother you.

Heres some info off the internet: Rebel's are about being individuals and refusing to follow a crowd that forces you to think the same way they do even if it means becoming an outcast to society. They know who they are and do not compromise their individuality or personal opinion for anyone. They are straightforward and honest and they will sure as hell take it like it is

I'm a tomboy and none of the girls like to be friends with me and boys I like only like me as a sister?
My brother is always telling me that guys don't like tomboys. most of my friends are guys or other tomboys, they're exactly like me and i'm sort of a misfit or a person who doesn't fit in with anyone else. I have a couple of girls that are my friends. I still haven't had a first kiss yet. And I'm such a tomboy that one of the guys i like called me his sister. I don't like dress,skirts and heels. I don't feel comfortable in them. Most of the girls wear them and it always gets my guy friends attention and I don't ear that stuff. My friends tell me that they don't think i'm ugly they just think of me as a home girl because I like the same things they do and I hang with them too much and I don't dress girly. Is it bad to be such a tomboy that most girls would've dressed nicer like a dress or skirts everyday but I wear jeans and tennis shoes? And how do i know if a guy likes me?

Hey there,
It is not bad to be a tomboy. I wear jeans and runners pretty much all the time, I basically never wear make up, and I don't wear dresses at all unless its for something real formal. I only have a few friends that are girls and a few friends that are guys, but it is alright.

If a guy likes you, he will stare at you, not be able to finish a sentance and then look at you funny, blush, touch your leg/hand/shoulder, sit real close to you, try to make you laugh, or do sweet things for you. Such as opening a door while smiling at you, buying you a drink when you could pay for it, or helping you with homework even though you never asked.

If you want a guy to like you, get out of the sister zone and flirt with him! Look into his eyes and smile, wink at him, or when he is sitting on a chair come up behind him and put your arms around his neck. Anytime you touch his arm/leg it will send a 'I don't want to be just friends' message.

It is completely normal to be a tomboy. You just have to find common ground with people and then you will be friends with anyone. All that stuff about guys don't like tomboys... thats just for those non-believers ;)

i am bi female in an open relationship, why is it so hard to find another partner?
everyone i meet it either crazy, controling or creepy.
most lesbians hate me-- bc i like men.
how can i meet people like me who wont judge me.

Hey there,
It is probably hard to find another partner for most females do not want to admit their bi, because they are picky, or for you aren't looking in the right place. Find a website/chat site where you can talk to other bi people. I find it strange that most lesbians hate you, they probably just find it a little strange because you are different than themselves. Meet people that won't judge you by finding those people that are just like you.

For some great websites go to google.ca and type in 'bi chats'. There are a lot of websites and I notice some free ones there. I am sure you will find someone who will be willing to talk to you about anything. Also if you are looking for a good man, you may find one there. Watch out for some strange people though, for the internet is a crazy place. Oh, or you could find a penpal that has simular interests. There are a lot of people looking for a girlfriend like you right now

I am applying to a performing arts program and I want to stand out. Since the application shows nothing of my personality please give me some ideas to set me apart from the rest. Should I send a video? Pictures?...etc be as creative as you can with your ideas!

Hey there,
A video is definately a more interesting way to go, it will catch their attention and allow them to actually see what you can do. You could do a skit, perform a song, or do a drama act. Making a video could take a while, so if you chose to do this, find someone who could tape you well and spend your time editing it. Pictures are a good way to go too.

I would try and showcase all of your talents if possible. Being bold, suprising, and unique will set you apart. Find what is unique about you and use it to your advantage. I do not know if you watch America's Got Talent or not... but I believe you have to see this guy, he may give you an idea for your program..?.. The performing arts were definately meant for him!

after i became single my friend and i liked eachother for a while but never hungout outside of our sport. i quit in june though. im 16/f hes 18/m and moving away to college this coming year. my friend creeped on him and is the result of us not texting much anymore, but i really wana give it one date to see. he really liked me for a while i just didnt want a bf atm. would that be for better or for worse? what could we do? how can i ask? he holds two jobs as it is so its hard to hangout and the last two tries fell through. i really like him im nervous, im used to ppl making the first move on me but hes shy. help?

Hey,
Just because your friend creeped on him doesn't really give him a reason to not text you as much. But, it could of been that he was busy. Saying no to him that one time would not change how he feels about you, if you tell him you still have feelings for him and would like to try again.

You could text him every now and then, tell him you are sorry you didn't say yes the first time, but you weren't ready. Say you are thinking about him and you were wondering if he was availible, for you want to spend some time with him. If he says yes, let him chose the day. You said he is busy with his job and now with college so, if he picks the day he will be more likely to come. Once he says yes, you could: go eat somewhere, grab a drink (if he doesn't have a lot of time), go to a movie, go to the beach, go swimming, play your sport together (if its doable for two people), or have a picnic.

It is alright to be nervous about a guy that you like. If he is shy, help him not to be. Flirt with him when you are in person, make him laugh, and help him open up by asking about his life. If you already know he likes you, it will be that much easier to have him love you

i have a best friend who is a guy. he's actually my ex's best friend..but they're not as close now because my best friend kind of chose me over him because he agreed with me.
but anyways. ever since december i thought i had feelings for my best friend. but they're on and off.
i always help him with girl problems and i love helping him. but i have this GUT feeling about him. and a good gut feeling. i don't know what it is, if its that i care for him, or love him.
i cannOT tell him, because he's not the emotional/feeling kind of guy and i wouldn't wanna ruin anything. he HATES talking about feelings.
what could this be??? has anyone ever been in this situation..and what happened?

Hey,
I believe what you are feeling is a crush. It could also be a caring for him feeling or a love him feeling as well.. but I also feel you don't know what to call it, for you don't want to say it is love and then mess up the relationship, you know? I am not saying if you told him you loved him it would turn out wrong, I am saying if you do feel as if you love him.. tell him slowly. Let him know you care for him, then flirt with him, then if he warms up to you, let him know you love him.

I believe what you are feeling is a sense of I really respect him, he seems well grounded, I would do anything for him, he is a great guy, and ultimately yes, you could be feeling love for him.. and not just the friendly love, relationship love. It is alright to love somebody, anybody, even if that person is your ex's best friend. There must be a reason why your ex has the name 'ex' attached to him now and if both of these guys are best friends, I am sure they will be okay with it. If you do not feel certain, maybe after you tell your guyfriend how you feel about him, talk to your ex, and then let your relationship with your guyfriend become more.

I havn't been in this situation, but my friend has. It worked out. It can work out for you too, just don't do anything unless you feel it is right. When your heart gives you a special feeling, believe me... you will know

There's this guy i like and i have no idea how to show him my true feelings for him. How am i supposed to get his attention? and how to get him to like me, and/or spend time with me? thanx xoxxoxxo

Hey there,
To get his attention... stare at him until he looks at you then wink at him while smiling.. he should notice you and want to know what that girl is thinking ;) or you could write a note saying "I would like to get to know you. Would you like to get to know me?" with a heart and your phone number, then casually slip it into his pocket. Or.. flirt with him by sitting next to him and putting your hand on his knee, asking him if he would like to get a soda with you, compliment something he is wearing and when he says "thanks" make conversation with him, touch his shoulder, or you could find out what kind of drink he likes then buy him it and take it to him personally.

To have him want to spend time with you, be friendly, talk to him, make him feel comfortable (guys get nervous as girls do), and as I said before, you could ask him to go grab a drink with you, ask him if he would like to catch a movie with you. And once you get to know him, he will most likely want to spend time with you anyhow and ask you if you want to do something with him.

As for getting him to like you, just be yourself. Every guy loves a girl who is happy (smile), down to earth (has fun), relaxed, positive, someone who listens, someone who supports, and someone who is not afraid to let their true self shine. Once a guy sees the inner you, they will allow you closer to their heart
