Ok, well there is this guy that I like and he absolutely adores me. He asked me out but I said no, maybe sometime soon. I like him, I really do. But see, I don't know if we went out that it would work out. He likes to play video games and talks about them a lot. I could care less half of the time but I listen and try to be interested in what he is saying because I care if that makes sense. And well, I'm the kind of girl who really likes to cuddle and kiss and sometimes other things. I don't have sex or oral sex.. just other things if you catch my drift. I mean I can live without those things if I have to. So my question is, should I go out with this guy? What are your blunt opinions on if you think it'd work out for us or not? Thanks

just try hanging out with him one day. just maybe go on a date with him and see how it would all work out that day. if you like the way the day turns out then give it a shot. if not just tell him you would just prefer to have a freindship with him and not a relationship with him. this way you have already tried to see what it would be like and it wouldnt hurt him as bad as if you were to say yes and then break his heart when he got to emotionally attatched to you.

Here is the thing i have this really nice lowered blue s-10 ( i have posted other things on here b4) but anyways my mom says that i can't drive it in the snow cause it isn't save and that my brother has a friend that will trade me cars and his is a volkswagon golf hatchback, which isn't that good of a looking car but it is safer. I really like my truck tho and i was planning on painting it and suping it up more and now i don't know if i should trade cars and be safer or keep my truck. help i am not sure what i should do? thanks for anyhelp

i personally think you should keep your truck.

any car can be unsafe, so why not have one thats pimped out and looks good? Why not have the one that you like?
lol.

I've been using the crest whitestrips for about 2 days now and I was wondering if you like swallow does the bleach come off? and I don't know if I have swallowed most of the bleach, because everytime there was saliva in my mouth I'd lick my teeth and swallow. Also, what happens if you DO swallow the bleach on accident?
Thanks, much.
xo

No. You can swallow. it wont harm you. but your not supposed to lick it.

I have straight hair already, but it is pretty static and VERY flyawayish...and its kinda bushy sometimes...what is the best hair straightener out there? I've heard ceramic hair straighterners are good??

i wouldnt use a straightener on your hair. they will fry your hair out. using them once ina while is fine but it shouldnt be an every day task. if you still want to straighten and fry your hair out until it all needs to be cut off then a ceramic iron would make it straight for you.

I think I'm anorexic. But I might not be because everyone says that the first quality of an anorexic is denial. I don't know. My friends say that I am, because I don't eat much for lunch and most of the time don't eat lunch at all. I never considered myself underweight, but I guess I would be in like, the 10th percentile. What do you guys think?

anorexia is when you dont eat anything at all. you wouldnt be considered anorexic but it may be some type of eating disorder that ,ay evolve into anorexia.

Good Charlotte came out with a new CD and I looked at one and it said that it was named The Chronicles of Life and Death-Life Version then a few days later I saw one and it said The Chronicles of Life and Death-Death Version, so I'm wondering what is the difference between the two besides the ending. I tried looking up the lyrics for both but its not working...thanx for the help

there is no major difference between them. if i am correct i think the one has a bonus track at the end. but its nothing major. the songs are the same.

my sister broke up with her bf last night becasue all he did was talk abotu ho upset he was abotu things. tom orrow is christmas and i dont want her to be upset @ christmas usualy she tells me things but right now she won t talk to me what can i do to cheer her up.

if she doesnt want to talk about it then dont keep bugging her to. she may just need time. give her space. when she is ready to talk about it with you then she will come to you. your nagging her about it will just make everything worse. she will come to you in given time. she will come to you when she needs you.

I have had my navel pierced since last july and right now it is so infected that it hurts to touch any where near it. any advice?

it could be infected for several reasons. take it out and clean it for a few days. since it was last july, it should be fully healed. and even if it were this past july, it would still be fully healed. after a few days (or as long as it takes to clear up) put a different belly ring in. see how that works. it may be the ring you have in it. you could be allergic to it. so try that and make sure that you keep it really clean.

Ok..I went out with this boy who is 2 years younger than me for 6 months. I totally fell in love with him and we did a lot of stuff together but we didn't have sex. We were planning on it but it just never happened. Neways. I was soo in love with him and planning spending a lot more time with him when all of a sudden he wanted to take a break..we did for like a week and then he started saying some really mean stuff to me so i just ended it. Was that the right thing to do? And then like a week later he ended up giving his sweatshirt to a girl who use to be my best friend. 2 weeks later they started dating. and now i'm hearing stuff that he told people he likes me a lot still and is mad because of stuff. but when asked about it..he denies it and says mean stuff about me to his gf. what is going on here? i still like him...does he still like me?

my opinion would be no, he doesnt like you anymore. your are prolly still young. you will have many of guys come and go in your life. you may love this guy but you are not in love with him. he isnt "the one" if he treats you like shit.

Okay my friend and i (he's a guy) are not really talking! Because I have been ignoring him, and supposedly he isn't mad at me! I found out he is sick today and lives right up the street from me! I was wondering should i go up the street to give him some chickensoup or pasta? Or should I even go up there to see him?! Would it be too random?!

you should go up and see how he is feeling.

Okay so my boyfriend was fingering me and like he saw that there was blood on his finger [not much just kinda around the bed of his nail] I thought maybe I had started my period but just a few minutes I went to the bathroom and I didn't. But it kinda burned and there was like brown stuff [like discharge]. What is wrong?

he may have either popped your cherry or just scratched you. it really isnt anything to worry about.

yes it is possible. you can pop your cherry by inserting a tampon, riding a horse, etc. your hymen (cherry) is just a thin piece of skin that breaks.

Me and my boyfriend of a year had sex not too long ago, and we didn't use protection. He said he didn't cum or even pre-cum but I don't think he is a hundred percent sure. Is there a possibility I could be pregnant? What are the signs of being pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant I am only thirteen! Where are good places to get protection. Oh, and we didn't have sex for long! It only last a minute because we were really worried!

what? are you kidding me?

i have a best friend [a guy] his name is chris. Well chris goes out with my EX bestfriend taylor. they are TOALLY different hes the skater type and shes the preppy bitch. i love chris with all my heart and i dont wanna him going out with this low life. taylor is already cheating on him and im sick of it. i told him but he doesnt care. and i really love him alot [ as a best friend] i mean i would think that he would listen to me but he doesnt and that makes me so mad because we are suppost to be best friends.. what do i do?

if he doesnt want to listen to you, then he will just have to find out for himself. if they are really into each other or atleast he is into her, then he will be hurt. and when he gets hurt he will run to you and you can just say you told him so. howver, they may be right for each other. he may not care because it is possible he doesnt reallyl like her all that much. maybe he is just in it for a peice ofr ass or something. i dont know. but youve already tried to talk to him so just let it gop. you cant push him.

I really like this girl that I met in september. she's really flirty with me - and not with ALL guys (maybe just a few...whatever). And she went through this phase where she was a total bitch to me but she would have this cute little grin on her face assuming i didnt notice. like almost 3 weeks ago she was like - i wanna be friends and not a bitch and then she would talk to me and come up to me a lot again and flirt. I want to ask her out eventually, but i wanna know what the deal is - even if were "just friends"

k thanks

i think sghe likes you. so just ask her out. you'll never know until you try.

OK... I just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this or knows what it is...
On my upper inner left thigh ther are these really strange marks. They look liek branches and kind of like scars. they are indented into my leg and pruple-ish. I never scarped my leg there or cut it but they look a lot like scars. By indented I mean if you run your finger along it it's like carved into my skin. Does anyone knows what they are, or how they might have got there? They just came up this past 3 months. thanks for ANY comments

the indents are stretch marks and the purple branch like things are spider veins.

Spider Vein Causes

Spider veins (telangiectasia or venulectasias) are enlarged veins near the skin surface that appear purple, red, or blue. Commonly found on the legs, spider veins can occur on the face and other parts of the body.

These enlarged veins are usually short unconnected lines or arranged in a sunburst pattern resembling a spider's web. Unsightly spider veins occur in a small, unnoticable area, or they can cover a large area of skin.

Spider veins affect mostly women, although it can also occur in men.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Spider Vein?

Normal veins carry venous blood back to the heart. Inside these veins, one-way valves ensure that blood only travels toward the heart and help equalize the blood pressure along the vein. Faulty veins can lead to a condition of venous insufficiency, which can result in the appearance of enlarged small surface veins (venules) called spider veins.

Typically, spider veins appear to have a diameter of 1 millimeter or less, although their actual diameter may be up to 3 mm under the surface. Small varicose veins are usually pinkish red, whereas larger vessels are blue or purple in color.

Sometimes a cluster of spider veins may appear as a red or purple patch called blushing or matting (telangiectatic matting) , that are often mistaken for bruises. Unlike bruises, however, spider vein mattings do not fade. Another form of spider veins, called an ankle flare is a cluster of spider veins, usually associated with varicose veins, that is located on the inner ankle.

Most spider veins are not symptomatic and are usually only considered a cosmetic problem. Some cases of spider veins - especially those of that develop from deeper "reticular" or feeder veins, however, come with a burning sensation or a dull, throbbing pain.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Causes Spider Veins?

Spider veins are caused by similar factors that cause varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. These factors include:

Genetics

Most women with spider veins have mothers and/or female relatives with this vein condition. Weak vein walls and valves, as well as shortage of vein valves, seem to be inherited characteristics, and may play a role in determining who develops spider veins and at what age.


Pregnancy

During pregnancy, and to a lesser degree also during periods, fluctuations in the female sex hormone (especially estrogen and progesterone), cause softening of the vein walls and valves. This makes women's veins more prone to stretching and enlargement with increased pressure.

Increased blood volume, which is needed to provide circulation to the fetus, also cause increased pressure on the vein walls. The growing fetus also exerts pressure on the pelvis, which in turn, exerts pressure on the leg veins.

Some women see spider veins that develop during their pregnancies and persist after their baby is born. Other see that their veins disappear after the baby is born, only to reappear later in life.


Prolonged standing and sitting

Prolonged standing and sitting cause a great amount of pressure to develop in the leg veins. In both conditions, the calf muscles are inactive and therefore cannot help push the venous blood to return to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the veins, thus resulting in increased pressure on the vein walls.

This pressure drops once one begins to walk, so if your job requires you to stand or sit for prolonged periods, remember to take short breaks and walk around for a couple of minutes every hour.


Injury

In some people, spider veins appear after injury or trauma to the vein, such as after a broken ankle, surgery, car accident, or sports injury. Bruising, which is pooled blood resulting from broken veins under the skin, can also lead to an inflammatory response, which in turn, can result in enlarged veins. Sometimes, spider veins can appear many years after the wound has healed.


Vein Conditions

In men, spider veins are usually the result of blow-outs from nearby varicose veins. High pressure from these veins cause adjoining superficial veins to stretch, enlarge, and change in color. These spider veins are usually darker and have larger diameters than the spider veins in women.

Spider vein matting, which resemble bruisings that do not go away, is often caused by the healing process of injuries and bruises, as well as complications from sclerotheraphy.

Ankle flares, or spider veins found on the inside ankle, is often associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where venous blood is not returned efficiently to the heart.


Causes of Facial Spider Veins

Although for most people spider veins occurs in their legs, there are instances where fine veins in the face and nose area become enlarged and darker in color.

For some, prominent facial veins are caused by rosacea. This condition is marked by numerous red spider veins in the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin, and is sometimes accompanied by acne breakouts. Although the cause of rosacea is unknown, it seems that alcohol and spicy food consumption, as well as stress, may play a role.

Chronic sun exposure can also cause spider veins, as well as other forms of skin damage such as wrinkles, freckles, moles, and skin cancer. Trauma, such as bruising, can also lead to spider veins.

In some people with chronic allergies and inherited predisposition to vein conditions, repetitive sneezing and coughing can lead to enlargement of veins around the nose and below the nostrils. Bouts of violent vomiting can also create enough pressure to cause spider veins to form in the cheecks.


The first three factors account for most of the causes of spider veins. Keep in mind that there may be primary and contributing factors to spider veins, and that these factors may not contribute equally to the vein conditions in different individuals.

ok so im going to see my bf in like a week and i want to look good but my skin tone is all messed up and i want to use sunless tanning stuff does it actually work if so which one works the best? another thing what if i dont like how it looks am i just stuck with it?

some of them work for some people and some dont work for others. some of them will use different bradns and it will color you skin completely different. it may look really nice on one person but another it may look bad. a friend of mine tried one and it made her look orange. if you want a tan then go to a tanning salon. get a spray tan or tan evereyday for like 10-20 minutes in that week before you go see him. and yes, your stuck with the sunless tanning lotions if you dont like them. they will usually last about a week or so.
