i recently asked this question to you:





ok so i went out with this guy for like 2 days. then he broke up with me and my best friend told me to go ask him out for her. i really regret asking him cuz theyve been going out for 2 months now. i still really like him and he said that if him and my bff broke up he would probably go out with me again. but my best friend said that if i ever go out with him again she would hate me. im afraid that if i go out with him again that he'll break up with me again and break my heart in pieces. i dont know if i should go out with him again.
please help!!
thanks in advance. =)


the thing is that he is the first guy to ever like me that i know of. hes so cute and funny and perfect. nobody really knows how much i like him and ive tried to forget about him but i cant. and now i sound like a stupid love song!! anyway.. i dont know maybe i just dont want the one guy to ever like me slip away..who knows..

hey it may seem like he's the only one who's liked you so far, but don't worry. guys come and go and some you will like more than others, and some will like you more than others. i imagine that youre fairly young because only one guy has liked you. don't worry there will be tons of guys that you will like and will like you in your lifetime. and i also understand that it's REALLY hard to get over a guy that you really liked but sometimes you just have to convince yourself that he's not worth all the time and pain that he's put you through. since you say that he will most likely break your heart in pieces *if* you go out with him again, it's not going to be worth all the time and heartbreak it will take in order to go out with him again. don't worry about him for now. i'm sure there's plenty of other guys out there for you! good luck & hope i helped. if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox! =)

love always

There is this really nice guy who likes me and wants to go to the movies with me (he thinks I like him because I used to), but I don't really like him in that way, so how do I tell him I don't want to go to the movies and that I just want to be firends???
Thanks!! (link)
hey STOP RIGHT THERE and tell him how you feel about him before you end up going to the movies and being in a very awkward situation! just explain that you like him as a friend and that he's really nice etc. etc.; but you just don't like him how you used to! hope i could help & good luck!

Hey my best friend gabby just turned 16 and iam 17 and on her b-day both her parents let her drink a half bottle of beer and ever since then she's been saying how cool it is and iam sick of it how can I get her to stop drinking?Iam really worried. (link)
hey my friend is 14 and she drinks on holidays like the fourth of july and new years but talks about how wonderful it is all year long. yes it's very annoying and it scares me to death because she has history of alcohalism in her family and yes it's scary. i understand that youre worried about her but it's hard to convince someone to stop drinking when they are fascinated with themselves for doing it. all i can tell you to do is ignore her when she's talking about alcohal. she probably doesn't even believe that alcohal is so amazing, she just has to tell everyone in order to believe herself. she'll get it that no one is interested that she drank all that beer and give up on her bragging. as for giving up her drinking, please understand that it is her choice on what she does and doesnt do. yes, drinking is going to get her into trouble. she may try and convince you to drink too since you are her best friend. but you need to explain that you don't want to and won't want to anytime soon, and maybe letting her know that it bothers you that she drinks/drank wouldn't hurt too! hope i could help you & good luck

I really need a better room cleaning strategey. Does anybody have anytips on better ways to clean my room and keep it clean. everything just seems so overwhelming when it gets messy and then I just dont know where to start.
Anything would be helpful. (link)
hey cleaning up is always a dreaded chore for me so i make it into something i enjoy. first: set the mood. turn on the radio or make a fun CD with dance music especially for room cleaning. now for the fun part: this is actually kind of corny but still fun. when cleaning my room i imagine i am doing an activity i like such as shopping or playing sports when i am actually picking up clothes and other various clutter. when i clean out my closet it is usually overflowing with clothes lying on the florr making it hard to close the door, and i haven't worn those clothes in a while, so what i usually do is pretend that i am shopping for new clothes. i make two piles: clothes to put away and clothes to get rid of since my style changes a lot and i like certain clothes sometimes and don't like them other times. then, i fold/hang up the clothes in the put-away pile, and put the other pile in a clean garbage bag. then i have a clothes-swap with my friends and we all recharge our wardrobes with eachothers' discarded clothes. when i am making my bed and changing my bedding i imagine i am in a furniture store and am making up the beds. silly things like that actually pass the time and make room cleaning up fun!! hope i could help

hey the truth is, what you do is up to you. your basic options are:
1. forget about this guy because he's not worth losing a friendship
2. ignore your friend and go out with him *if* they break up

let me just give you some pointers:

1. your friend shouldn't act like this. if she cared enough about your friendship she wouldn't let a guy get in the way. it's wrong to hate someone over a silly thing like a guy, and it sounds like she's not being such a great friend right now.

2. this guy doesn't seem like he's worth all the trouble he's already putting you [and your friend] through, and he is being unloyal to your friend by talking about going out with his ex [you] while he is going out with his current girlfriend [your friend]. i think you should just simply forget about him and find yourself a guy that is perfect for you, not your friend too.

I'm a really shy person, and that makes social things hard for me. People automatically assume I am prude and just don't talk to me. When people DO get to know me, they tell me that they are completley suprised and they can't believe they had never talked to me. Do any of you have suggustions on tips to be less shy? I'm really trying to overcome it (link)
hey i'm shy just like you. obviously you have a great personality underneath your shyness as people have told you, and they can't understand why you are hiding it. my suggestion is to open up a little more than you normally would to friends and acquaintences. tell them some things about you that you haven't told them before. talk to new people, who might not expect you to talk to them. once you expand your social network and get over your shyness and insecurities people won't assume that you are shy!

Okay, so at the camp I go to, there is this counselor who is the hottest, nicest, funiest guy ever with the cutest voice and everything. I started noticing him in like a crushing way the first year I went and by this year, it was like a full out obsession. He knows I like him in that way but we can't really do anything because 1.he's 18 (I'm not even 15) and 2. it is so crossing the counselor/camper line and 3. I won't even see him until next year. So it's just like a fun little obsession...while I'm there. But now I'm home and I still think about him ALOT. I still dream about him every night and I've been home for a week. How do I stop this madness?

By the way, please don't say get a boyfriend because I never officialy broke it off with my long distance one from camp (who was closer to my age). (link)
hey i had a crush on a counselor at day camp last year. i slowly got over him after i realized that i could never have him since camp was ending and he wasnt interested in me. so basically all i can tell you is to try and think about other things and hang out with other guys who aren't so unattanible. hope i could help & good luck

love always

xoxo amanada
