or talks to you or nething
then you find out she likes another guy
but yur still flirting nd shes not doing a thing
would you get over her or would u keep trying to get to kno em??

thanks mwa bye (link)
This is a FEMALE'S opinions. Be warned. :)


I'd totally try and get to know her better. (Though, in my case, it'd be a guy! hehe.) Don't flirt though; that'll scare her. Trust me. Ugh. Blah. Yeah.


Talk to her. Get her AIM SN or E-mail address. Chat with her online. Be SURE to say Hello in the halls, wave, talk to her whenever you can. Get to know HER. Know what her favorite things are. [favorite food, color, pet, movie, song, band etc.] Get to know about her family. Sisters? Brothers? Pets? Know what her hobbies are. Cheerleading? Skateboarding? Fashionista? Artist? Know the things she hates.


Basically, you want to be a SUPER close friend.


My boyfriend is also my best friend, and I really love the companionship that I feel. Not only is it a relationship, it's a TRUE friendship. I can talk to him about anything and not feel weird. < That's how you want to be with her.


Yeah, trust me. She'll get to know you and you her, then you'll see if you're truly compatable and if you are, you'll fall in love with her and she with you. :)

whats an emo?? or like the emo stlye? (link)
Emo is a style of music, meaning 'Emotional.' Sterotypically, 'Emo bands' (such as Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday, and Dashboard Confessional) are made up of guys singing depressing / emotional music.


The 'style' is more like a label now. (Like punk, goth, prep, skater, hardcore etc. etc.) Emo folks are typically associated with self-harm, depression, and suicide. Most people think someone who is 'Emo' wears tight black pants, black shirt, skate shoes or Converses, dyed black hair (if it is not naturally black), black eyeliner and such. Though you don't have to listen to Emo music to dress like that. Nor do you have to dress like that if you listen to Emo music.


Of course, this is all what the world says. Wear what you want, dye your hair what color you want, wear different colored earrings and wear one DUCKY sock and one PONY sock!! Yeah!


... yeah.

For my boyfriend's semi formal, they are doing a small type dance with cocktail dresses. I'm not quite sure what a cocktial dress is. If anyone could help me out or send a link with something or whatever. I'd apreciate it alot!!

Thanks =]

(link)
A cocktail dress is usually either a super bright color (red, yellow, orange or hot pink) or black; but can be found in ANY color. It's normally within a few inches of your knee, either way. (up or down..) It usually flairs out at the bottom. Most are sleeveless, though some have sleeves (designed for winter time) or are strapless.

so sorry this is NASTY but when u put a tampon in, which "spot"? please dont be like "it says it on the box, theres a diagram"
thanks (link)
Haha, well, you COULD check the box, but there isn't really but one "spot." There are three holes, one is too small for anything to go there, one is the "right spot" and one is your anus. Haha. Sorry. [Bad memories with that last word.. ;-D] Just relax, read up (provided links) and take a deep breath. It's not a big deal, and a tampon is much more comfortable than a pad. Trust me. Blahh. :)

YUP this is really random.... but what are those thingys called.... The ones that are like in conuntry western movies and their LIke BIG huge balls of dust and they usually are like rolling around in sand storms or wind.... I KNOW ITS random BUT I NEED TO KNOW! lol.... (link)
I do believe what you're talking about is a tumbleweed. It tumbles around you know, and it's a weed... Yeah, they're sand colored and roll in the wind. I'm almost 100% positive what you're talking about is tumbleweed. Because sand doesn't really makes big huge balls of dust.. but tumbleweeds are "big huge balls" - just not of dust.


And I like this question because it was random; out of the ordinary. :)

I`m 13 and I get alot of zits. I have this HUGE (and I mean HUGE ) like almost the size of a nickel sized zit. It is in between my eyebrows and it has no head on it. ( It looks like a large red bump ) It really hurts if you push on it and it is all red. I don't know what to do. Is there anything I can get to clear it up quicker? (link)
Hello,


It sounds like your face wash isn't exactly doing the trick, eh? Don't fret now, mine wasn't either. You just have acne. [yes, it's JUST acne.. it sounds okay, but it's awful to have.] I went to my doctor and she perscribed a face wash. Okay, so I didn't go just because my face was breaking out, but whatever. She also perscribed a medicine called Retin A.


Some doctors will give you an antibiotic for your acne because it kills the bacteria BEFORE it makes a pimple. Of course, many girls and women who are on an antibiotic for extensive periods are likely to develop a yeast infection. Though, if you only have acne during "that time of month," your doctor might give you an antibiotic. If you're like me and have acne every part of the month, not just those seven days or so, an antibiotic is not for you.


To help keep pimples from forming :


Wash your face very well two or three times daily. Perhaps good times for you would be when you wake up in the morning (you know, brush your teeth, wash your face, get dressed...), when you get home from school, then right before you go to bed. If you'd like to help prevent pimples even more, take some acne face pads in your purse with you to school, and while you're in the restroom or whatever, you can wipe your face off with one of those.


Try using an astringent. Washing your face then using an astringent will really help get all the dirt and bacteria off of your face. If you use an astringent or a harsher face wash, you'll probably want and need a moisturizer. Clean and Clear makes a good moisturizer.


Raid Wal*Mart or CVS or Walgreens for a simple, over-the-counter acne medicine. Wal*Mart sells one that is simply called "Acne Gel" and if you put it on the pimples you have and on the places you're most likely to develop a pimple (where your face is most oily), the medicine will help dry the oil / pimple out.


For the pimples you already have [best done at night] :


Wash your face really well with a medicated face scrub if you have it. If you don't, just use a basic bar soap like Dove. Pat your face dry with a clean towel. If you have an astringent, put some of a cotton ball and wipe it over your face. If you have a simple acne medicine, put it on the pimples and allow it to dry. Then use a gentle, non-oily moisturizer. Now, break out your tube of toothpaste and put a dab on each pimple. Go to bed. ... When you wake up, wash your face using the same medicated face scrub or bar soap. Pat your face dry. Use an astringent, acne medicine and moisturizer. The pimple should be smaller and less red. With a little concealer, no one will ever know you have a pimple. :)


If you wear make-up, be sure that it is a non-oil based make-up. If it is oil based, it can clog pores, causing pimples. Some foundations are oil based and clog your pores. I'd stay away from that if I were you. A gentle concealer from NYC or Cover Girl, something non-oil based, natural with your skin tone, will help cover the pimples. Several companies sell a green concealer powder, and the green will help hide the redness of the pimple because red and green are opposites on the color wheel. Also, NYC and Cover Girl (and I'm sure others) sell concealer that helps absorb oil, and if you have oily skin, that would probably help too. :)


Good luck.

i can't seem to find a deoderant that keeps me dry enough i know this is disgusting but can anyone help me??? (link)
Hey now, it would only be disgusting if you weren't worried about it. ;)


This is, of course, totally out of opinion (and experience...).


I've found that in the summertime / warmest months the best deoderant is Degree : an anti-perspirant deoderant. Not only does it work extremely well for girls who are active, it smells good too. :)


During the winter months when you might not need something as strong, Secret is good. It doesn't stand up to the summer months, but it does work very well when you're not outside in the heat, running etc. And it also smells good.


Though, if I had to pick ONE, I'd go with Degree. I like how it smells best anyway. [Haha...]

ok, i really think i love this girl, but i kinda asked her out last night, and i talked to her, but she doesnt trust me, she thinks that im the kind of guy who will just go out with someone til the next girl who comes around, and really thats far from the truth, but i have no idea how to prove to this girl that i am not lying and i never would especally to her, and that i would devote all my time and effort toward her well-being? (link)
So... she doesn't trust you. You know what that means?


1. You did something to make her think you're untrustworthy
2. A rumor told her you were untrustworthy
3. Some boy broke her heart by running off with lots of other girls, proving himself untrustworthy and she's categorizing guys as untrustworthy brutes.


It's probably that third one, though not as severe. Lots of girls will, if they've been hurt, naturally assume that the next guy that comes a-calling is going to break her heart. Perhaps guys feel the same way, I wouldn't know - I'm not a guy. ;-)


Sadly, I do know several girls who are exactly the way she thought you would be "the kind of guy who will just go out with someone 'til the next girl who comes around..." – that's how these girls are. They date one boy for a few weeks, the boy thinks he loves her, because she said "I love you," to him. He thinks they're soul mates... but then the girl gets a good look at some other "hot" guy and splits. Because this is a very real aspect of life, perhaps this girl you're enamored with thinks you'll be the same way - she's seen it in action before, right?


To prove yourself, let her know that you still like her (sometimes we girls will just assume you do not like us anymore if you don't tell us!). Do not show interest in any other girl but her - that is, unless you want to prove her right - and she would have a field day with that. Remember her birthday, Christmas and Valentines day. ESPECIALLY Valentines day!!! Everyone knows that Valentines day is one of the most important days of the year to a girl. ANY girl. To show a girl (whether you're dating her or proving to her that you like her), always tell her that you love her; try to spend the day with her. Give her a single red rose. She'll go crazy. Birthdays and Christmas are also important.


Girls love letters. More importantly, we love love letters. Now, now, you don't want to scare her off or anything, but to show your devotion try writing a simple poem (or getting one off the web) about her beauty or a character trait she possesses. When walking past her, smile with your lips, eyes and heart. She'll know you're truly happy to see her.


Just talk to her. We don't like it when you think that, as your girlfriend (or the object of your affections), you don't need to talk to us. Quite the opposite in fact. We want you to talk to us like normal people. Of course, it never hurts to throw in a few sweet words...


Help her. Open the door for her. Walk her home, walk her to her car, carry her books, etc. She will really know you mean business if you're opening doors. Sadly, in our "new age" movement with all the feminist rights people, no one really takes notice of us and our feminism. In the "old days" of the pioneers, a man would always help his wife, daughters, nieces, aunts etc. before he would tend to his sons, nephews, uncles etc. The man would help his wife / daughters into the wagon and make sure they were warm and comfortable before starting off. We like to be treated well, but don't treat her as inadequate. That'll make her mad for sure. Girls can know about cars just as boys can know about ballet. But even if you like a car junkie chick, open the door for her. She'll love you for it.


I hope this has provided a little insight into the complex infrastructure known as the female mind. :)

when will we be able to use HMTL codes again?! (link)
I can't actually answer this question fully because I am not the site administrator. However, I would suggest taking this up with the "big man" -- DangerNerd. [http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=DangerNerd] He will be able to fully answer your question. However, the site does not pay him a salary, he does have a real life, with a real job and a real family. Since other things (such as protecting the site) come first, you might want to be patient.


I do miss using HTML in answers, but it is not that big of a deal. You can still use some HTML on your column though! Be sure to always close a tag completely. (Remove spaces of course) Some of the basic codes that work :

< B > BOLD < / B >
< I > ITALIC < / I >
< S > STRIKETHROUGH < / S >
< P > PARAGRAPH [this is a standalone tag, it is one of the few that does not have to be closed. Unless you see something saying that it is a standalone tag, always be sure to close it - it can cause problems.]
& hearts ;
& dagger ;
& Dagger ;
& dimond ;
& spade ;
& club ;


Pretty much any code that has & [word] ; will work. For a great site of HTML codes, go to http://www.lissaexplains.com or http://www.funky-chickens.com


Be warned though, not all of the codes will work, and the ones that DO work will only work on your column.

so yeah when ..i make out with my boyfriend...i'm not realy experienced .. i just want to have some ideas given to me..on -where my hands should go?- like..around his neck? or touching his hair?

i don't know..

i feel kinda weird just having my hands to myself. (link)
Okay, I'm totally INEXPERIENCED in this area, but I have a good idea. :)


Try one of these :


- Hold his hands
- Wrap your arms around his back
- Gently run your fingers through his hair
- Softly caress his head, neck, back and shoulders
- Put your hands on his waist
- Put your hands on his back


There are pretty much endless possibilities. I'm sure he'll like one of those though. ;)

Two questions about pre-marriagal sex... first one, am I spelling it right? I just like to know how to spell things, sorry to waste your time. Second one, before Advicenators, I was always under the impression that pre-marriagal sex was just for the screwed-in-the-head potheads and the sluts/whores. But now I'm looking at these questions, and seriously folks, it's just insane how many people are saying "I've been with my b/f three months and we had sex last night, is that too little time?" or something like that. Are my thoughts on pre-marriagal sex wrong? Note: Smartasses get 1s and will be reported. Give me real advice. (link)
It is spelled "premarital." :)


According to my faith (and many different religions), practicing premarital sex is a sin. Yes, I believe that having premarital sex is wrong. There are some non-religious folks out there who just think it's more special to wait; and the risks are not worth it. Because of all the risks (unwanted pregnancy, STDS, HIV, AIDS...), many people do not partake in premarital sex, no matter if they're "religious" or not.


Many teenagers (and even young adults) feel pressured to have sex, that they will not be accepted or they won't be as "cool" if they don't have sex with their boyfriend / girlfriend. Some teens think their boyfriend / girlfriend will dump them if they don't have sex. All too often, having sex with your boyfriend / girlfriend leads to a breakup. TV, radio, tabloids etc. sell sex. Just go to a book shop and glance at the magazines. Most of the ones that are for teenagers / young adults (specifically women) have something about "look sexy this fall..." or "50 ways to be a better girlfriend..." or "Have a tight, sexy stomach in 15 days..." -- you get the idea. Everything sells sex. Yes, there ARE teen magazines that DO NOT have any sexual content. Look around you though, so many peers are telling teens to have sex, have sex, have sex. It's the "cool" thing to do, it will make people like you more, etc., etc. That - in my opinion - is totally crazy! Because everyone thinks it's so "cool" to have premarital sex, we have hundreds of STDs. You have to ask yourself, do the pros outweigh the cons?


Sex is primarilly an act of reproduction or a form of love. We'll take the reproduction aspect first : how many teens are WANTING to get pregnant (thus reproducing) when they have sex with their girlfriend / boyfriend? Probably not very many. Especially the younger ones, or the ones who haven't been dating their boyfriend / girlfriend long. Not many teenagers want to have sex to have a baby. They don't want the responsibility, they can't support a child etc. That's not their motive.


Love : Yes, teenagers CAN love each other. I know, I love my boyfriend. Will I sleep with him? No! A thousand times NO! Do I love him? Yes, very much - but that does NOT mean I'm going to sleep with him. I know that some teenagers honestly DO love each other and that is why they want to have sex with one another. Though, you have to ask yourself, if they love one another so much, why don't they wait until they're old enough to get married, and then they can have sex without worrying about an bad pregnancy or STDs. Too often though, the thing teenagers claim for "love" is just an emotional high. They love each other's BODY. Having sex to them is just a way to get their jollies or whatnot. Much too often, these relationships don't last long. The girl gets pregnant, the guy splits. Hey, he can't afford a baby, right?


You make the call. I think that sex is the perfect wedding gift. The ultimate wedding gift to your spouse : your virginity. Not everyone feels the same way as I do; I respect that. It is their choice, their call - as it is yours. You make the decision. You know where I stand. :)

Although I know this isn't a "Song Trasnslation" site, I cannot seem to get on to a site that can help me.
Does anybody know what these lyrics in this song mean?

When you move like a jellyfish
Rhythm don't mean nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
Move like a jellyfish
Rhythm is nothing
You go with the flow
You don't stop
It's as common as something that nobody knows it
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
Up the hill in the back of her house in the wood
She'll love me forever, I know she
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
If you would only listen
You might just realize what you're missing
You're missing me
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards
And her feet are infested with tar balls and

Bubble Toes - Jack Johnson
Thank You. (link)
Hmm...


Maybe "move like a jellyfish" has something to do with moving with the music, the beat. Perhaps that the girl is beautiful and no matter how she dances she's like a jellyfish when she moves - flowing easily with the currents. But she needs a dance partner ("You're missing me"). She might just go with the flow in all of life; going from one "dance" partner to another - relationship wise. Nothing exactly matters to her, she's like a jellyfish, if she wants to go on, she just finds the tides. He thinks she would love him forever, and should stay with him. Obviously she's a beautiful girl.


This song was probably written by some heart-broken guy, or in memory of being heart-broken. It just sounds that way to me.


I hope this was of some help; I'm not exactly sure what you were asking for. :-\

Haha, hey! Well, letter_girl22, I apologize for not replying sooner. My computer has issues (urg!) and so I must use my father's computer when using Internet Explorer (unless I'd like to wait for hours - it seems - for each page to load!). I'm trying to get on Advicenators more often, as I'm a moderator and would like to keep that status -- I thoroughly enjoy it. But it is incredibly hard to rate or even answer questions on my computer. Pretty much the only thing my computer is good for is playing old games (meant for Windows 98) and using AIM.

What is a 'Y'? New Yorkers are always talking about them but I don't know what they are. (link)
Perhaps they are talking about the YMCA. I live no where NEAR New York, but they call it a "Y" here also. If they're not talking about the YMCA, perhaps it is a new .. umm .. line of theaters or something. I truly wouldn't know past the YMCA idea. Perhaps you should ask one of them. Sorry this wasn't much help.

what do boys do to show a girl they like her (link)
Each boy does things a little differently, but these are the things I've noticed among guys.


- Teasing [in a fun, joking way]
- Teasing [in a mean, making fun of you way]
- Laughing ALOT at your really bad jokes
- Sitting near you
- Offering to help you [carry books, open doors etc.]
- Spending time near you [directly or indirectly]
- Being good friends with your best friend just to get closer to you
- Being friends with your older brother/sister to get closer to you
- Grabbing your hand
- Giving you hugs
- Complimenting you
- Ignoring you [that hurts.]
- Chasing you [like a little puppy]
- Telling you sweet things [not the same as complimenting.]
- His friends asking you if you like him
- Giving you small gifts
- Visiting you
- Calling you
- Smiling alot at random times in your direction
- Awkwardness around you [because he's nervous]
- His friends talking to you excessively
- Talking to you online
- Coming straight out and telling you


And so many other things. Guys are not all the same, each one is truly one of a kind (even twins and triplets and quadruplets...). No one can REALLY give a totally accurate list of things guys do when they like you. Each one is different, just like girls. They're not pets, nor are they robots. Each one has his own personality; and most don't hide it when they like you. :)

My little sister is almost 13 (I'm 16) and is in the 7th grade. She got this boyfriend over the summer, some guy who's in her math class, and she really likes talking about him. I'm starting to worry about her. Is this age-appropriate? I'm homeschool because I'm blind, so I don't know about these things. (link)
Well, my friend, however you're reading this, I do commend you on your typing skills. Extremely well written grammar wise and spelling -- something most seeing people can't do. :) I am also homeschooled, but only because I am WAY too smart for the public schools in my area. Just kidding, but homeschoolers rock!


Enough of that.


No, I wouldn't say that it is inappropriate for your sister to be dating this boy, as long as he is not 8 years older than her.... if he is, then it is a bad thing! (Because he'd be 21, which is wayyy too old for a 13 year old! And he'd be really... well, really far behind in school.) Nah, I wouldn't say it's wrong. I'm sortof out of the loop at times because I'm homeschooled. I had no idea [for a while at least] that kids were having sex at 12 and 13. NO WAY MAN! That's not cool. If she's sexually involved with her boyfriend, then it's definitely not cool. Even when she's older, 13, 14, 15... it's still - in my opinion - too young to be sexually involved with a boy.


I was almost 14 when I "got" my first (and only) boyfriend. Part of my moral and religious beliefs is staying pure until marriage, though other people chose not to do so. Still, she's quite a bit young to be having sex.


It's a good thing that you're worried about your sister, you're a good brother. :)

Hello everyone, i have a bit of a problem. I entered a medical program in school and we travel to medical offices a few days a week. Problem is, we are prohibited to bring anything with us except for ourselves and we are gone for a good solid few hours. My question : how is one supposed to bring pads if they are on their period during this time? Any ideas? (link)
Ah, that's got to be awful. Try really big pockets. If you're comfortable wearing a tampon, do so and wear a pad also. Wear jeans with big pockets, or a lab coat / jacket with big pockets so you can easily put a pad there. Try talking to your teacher. If the teacher happens to be male, talk to the female with the highest status in the class and see what she can do. You could even try talking to the school nurse. If all else fails, you could be sick. Just joking.
