Flirting can be seen to some as anything as simply as talking to one of the opposite sex. But usually, it is being semi-suggestive in the way you talk. It's joking around by suggesting something. It also is in your tone of voice. The more suggestive tones make it more flirtitious.

No, they don't, unless they are a strange type that I've never heard of. I had warts all over my fingers, I thought that at least the smallest would disappear, but it didn't.
There are 5 ways to get rid of a wart.
1. You can use a topical treatment. CVS or other drug stores have a bottle of what is known as a wart remover. You just dip the brush in the bottle and brush it all over the wart. Works about 50% of the time, but other warts may appear in the future.
2. You can go to a doctor and have it frozen off and scraped for further prevention. This works about 60% of the time, and other warts may appear in the future.
3. You can go to a doctor and have it lasered off. Works 85% of the time, future warts may appear.
4. You can take a pill called "Tagement" in high doses. Can only be prescribed by a doctor. It was some pill for Ulcers which was soon to be discovered had odd ways of changing your immune system such as it detects smaller viruses, like the wart virus. 85% success rate, future warts will not appear if successful, may cause mild liver damage which will disappear once you stop taking the pill.
5. You can have a combo of 3 things injected into the wart, one of which is yeast. The body fights it off, and sees that there is a wart virus there, and in turn, fights that off. 90% success rate, no future warts will develop. It's just very new.
I'd advise trying the topical solution and then either #4 or #5.

I think I can help due to the sheer fact that I have 2 people within this body, and one is a bitch.
The way to change is sort of simple, sort of not. What you need to do is first find out what a bitch is. They comlain about stuff that cannot be changed, they constantly get into fights, and typically cause a lot of drama. Then, you just change it. Before you go and lecture a person, ask yourself whether it is right or not, will it make you seem like a bitch? It will make quite a commotion internally, but you will stop yourself.
Do this with most of your life. It will be hard, not doubt, but it will help.
What I have learned is that good years and bad years alternate. Freshman Year was your bad year, you will have a good year this year. Just be nice to everybody, and friends will just naturally come. Nice long talks with people work miracles, if you don't get into any fights. :)

Why not just a simple "I love you." That always works. :) If you are going out with him, that is...

I know what you are talking about. The reason why it is so much easier to talk on the computer is that you have so much more at your disposal. You have the internet, which is larger than the largest library ever. Also, you can stall more when you are asked a question or given something to talk about. Lastly, you don't have to see his expressions.
The way to overcome all of this is to just go in cooly, and just let it naturally come. Try to act relaxed so that you appear this way to him. And sooner or later, you are what you make yourself out to be. That's why lies are so powerful for good and evil. It can help you in life if you lie to yourself. Only on certain things. Like saying "I am calm" to yourself repeatedly does just that.

I'm sorry, but I really cannot see how you got from step 1 to step 2. Here, let me show you.

-1 1/4 + -2 1/2
Change these to complex fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator
-5/4 + -5/2
Get rid of the + sign, it only confuses you when dealing with fractions.
-5/4 - 5/2
This may be advanced for you, but factor out a -1. Watch:
-5/4-3/2=-(5/4+5/2) (1 is taken out since anything times 1 is the same.
Change the second number's denomniator to match the firsts:
-(5/4+10/4)
Add
-15/4
This makes -3 3/4. :)

What you do is simply ask her to stop talking to you and bothering you. If she continues to talk and bother you, you file harassment charges on her. Make sure that you have hard proof showing when you told her to stop and how she continues to talk/harass you. That little bit will be enough to get her away from you.

If it hurts badly, if you do not have close to the normal range of motion, and if it does not get better after 3-6 days, then you probably did tear a muscle.
If you do not go to the doctors, it may never heal. Torn muscles sometimes require surgery in more extreme cases. Go to the doctor, it is needed,

At your age, yes. You are still young, so you are not fully into the whole love thing yet. You will be soon enough. Wait until you are 15. That's the true deciding point.
-Steven

Either he likes you or he is really concerned about you. I would guess that yes, he does in fact like you. But I cannot say, as I don't know you.
I'd think it was just a lot of concern if it wasn't for the last thing. That is a sure sign.

Of course. In fact, I am interested in one. :)
-Steven

I see it as a sin. You are related, so it is just not right to be in love with your cousin. Insodomy....
But then again, Adam and Eve were the first people on the world, and had children. If those children had not performed insodomy or something along the lines, we wouldn't be talking.
I don't know. I guess it isn't if it was done in the bible without punishment. And I don't think there ever was a rule prohibitting it.
Wow, I just changed my own view withing a paragraph.
-Steven

First off, suicide because of relationships is not the answer because relationships are all tenuous and temporary. Suicide because of depression is also not the answer because all depression goes away eventually. But, this is about you and your boyfriend.
Here's what I think. You and your boyfriend broke up, and he is hurt. I think that you should quickly go and ask him back, saying that you made a mistake. The reason is that he was with you before this other, and you knew him better. Also, it is a sure thing that he likes you back, this crush is unknown.
Besides, if you were to get together with your crush, people would see you as a type of person you do not want to be. Shallow, Short Lived, and a cheater in relationships. I have seen people do that type of stuff, and I know that is close to what I think.
Anyways, good luck! Don't do anything to hurt yourself, for it's not worth it. Besides, you hurt both yourself and anyone who ever cared about you, including both your boyfriend and your crush.

(Wow, it's early morning, and I can tell it...)

Birthcontrol works 99% of the time. That is, if you have been taking it for at least the advised time before having sex. Condoms work 99% of the time. But, there is always that 1%. So, you are never safe unless you practice abstinense.
Using a condom with Birth control only lowers the odds of getting pregnant. So it is better to use it, but you don't have to. Because 3 out of every 4 conceptions abort without you knowing it. So, it really is a 1/297 chance without the condom, 1/29403 chance with.
Hope this helped!

Bipolar disorder. It is a disorder where 1/2 the time, you are happier than a clown, and the other 1/2, you are manically depressed.

Why don't you try working a bit at a place, like go around this week and offer to do chores for other people, such as mowing the lawn or whatever else needs to be done. Elderly people enjoy this a lot. Then, the money you raise is yours, and you can use it to buy a dress. That way, you will not have to use family money.
Talk about it with your parents, and if you need any other advice, feel free to drop one into the inbox! :)
-Steven

Yep. If you don't, it is like an automatic rejection. You miss every shot you don't take.
Go ahead and ask him. Try casually at first, such as "Just friends". Then you may want to start dating type relationships. Or just go all out.
Hope this helps!
-Steven

My advise is to go and get an abortion without telling him. You do not want to throw away your life over something like this, having a boyfriend insist that you keep it. Graduate college, and then consider keeping a child.
Definately abort.
-Steven

I think you should go for the soccer team, as it keeps you more in shape. Really, you just stand there in baseball. You're all over the place in soccer.
That's the only reason I suggest it. Plus, there's more a call for women's soccer players than softball players.

Oh yeah. I love those. They go great with chips, especially in hot days. Now you made me hungry... *Cry*

THE PENGUIN RULES ALL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Cough*
Hello! My name is Steven, and I am a mentor. Yes, that does mean that I help other people. I have helped over 1000 people to date, and have helped some individuals for over 1/2 a year. The miracle of my life occurred 17 years ago. I say miracle only because 1/4 babies survive to be born.
I am the first born of 2 children, and I am also the black sheep. I listen to Classical Music, so you can call me a weirdo. :P. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, so take no offense if my answers never seem to end.
In school, I get As and Bs. More Bs really. I play trombone, and was the section leader of the trombones at my school. This year, I am the captain of the entire brass section. I am an Eagle Scout, so I guess that says I'm persistant? You make the call. I am a 3 time varsity letter winner, looking for a 4th next winter. I also participate in the musical, where I am a Bass 2. :)
I am straight, and have never had a relationship beyond a friend. However, I have survived the bumps in the road, and can advise you if you wish it. Though, it's not my strength.
I'm here for you, and only you. That means that my advise will not always confort you. Heck, it may even scare you. Yet, I want you to do what is best for your mind. Not what is typically seen as best for you, but what YOU see best for YOU. Heck, if you wanted what was seen as best for you, you would've asked your parents what you should do. They give you what's typically best.
Alright, before I start getting tendinitis from writing that over and over again, I'll just say what I mean. I mean that if you ask me about something, let's say walking 10 miles a day, and I think it's rediculous, yet you are asking for something to do, I am NOT going to say "10 miles is the type of a thing a anorexia athletica would do. Try 5." I'll give you something to do.
Oh, and I'm a L1 moderator, which means I rate questions.

Don't hesitate to IM me, I'm usually on. If I'm not, just drop one in the Inbox!

Oh, by the way, I am liberal in everything. That means that abortion is a woman's RIGHT, and gay marriage should be LEGAL.

Ask away!
-Steven
