I like this boy he always stares and smiles at me. I was in flag football and i was on his team and then this girl joined after me and later at lunch he walked up to me and said im training you for football alone then the girl said what about me and he said no way!! I have heard lots of rumors that he likes me and im starting to not like him but i still don't know if he likes me. i'm so confused does he seem to like me??? (link)
Just wait for the right moment and what happens happens you know. All i have to say is that since you like him give him signs that you do and maybe he will begin to like you even more. And also, follow your instincts and your heart.


Mmmkay. How to begin...

So, my best friend is the guy in this situation. We've been friends for a few years, and I'm closer to him than anyone else, and he feels the same. We can, and do, talk about anything comfortably. But I have feelings for him that go beyond friendship. Sometimes I think he feels the same way. People often ask if we're going out. We tried the 'friends with benefits' thing for a while. Meaning we made out a lot, no commitment, but then he got a girlfriend. But really, beside the fact that we don't do anything that would count as cheating, our relationship hasn't changed at all.

But his girlfriend HATES me. When I hug him, she gives me dirty looks(but I hug everyone, it's not a weird thing). She ignores me when I try to make friends with her. Not to mention she's bad for him. He's always walking on eggshells around her, constantly afraid he's saying the wrong thing. She is extremely manipulative and has him a hundred percent whipped.

We always joke about how we're going to get married; we even have the names of our children planned. But the other day, Lucas said something about it that sounded dead serious. I remember his exact words: "You know how some old married couples are just so content? That's how we would be. We'd never fight. It would be perfect."

The other day something happened that really confused me. We were laying on my bed watching a movie(well, it isn't really MY bed. I recently had foot surgery so I'm crashing on the futon until I can climb the stairs to get to my room). I sat up for a second, I can't remember why, and he put his arms around me and pulled me down. I apologized because I thought I was blocking his view of the TV and that's why he moved me, but he said "No, I just want to hold you." So we were cuddling and he kissed me on the forehead. And there have also been other situations since he's been with her where we came close to doing something we shouldn't have been doing.

So the actual questions here are:

Should I tell him how I feel or wait until he's single again(I have a feeling it'll be soon with her jealousy)?

Should I talk to him about not getting intimate, or should I just stop it if the situation arises?

Any other advice you can offer about the situation would be helpful as well. (link)
I understand this situation because the same thing happened to me. However, i did not tell him how i feel because he already knew that i liked him and i knew he like me too. So he waz about to come over my house and he had a friend ova who waz like a brother to me...so when the boy i like was about to go home he took my hand and started holding it and like rubbed my on my cheek so romanticly. However, he still had a girlfriend and so i thought that it was his disicion of if he wanted to hook up with me or keep on with his relationship. And he kept on so yea i was bummed but again it was his desicion and plus me and his gf were friends so it was kinda aquard but it was ok cus me and him are still good friends. Personally i think that you should tell him how you feel and so that way he will get a sign and it would be eaasier to make his desicion.
P.S. me and his gf hated eachother at first.


Hey guys
My birthday is coming up in September and I want to do something really fun and special. The only problem is there are a lot of people that I would invite and my family does not have the money for an expensive party. I can't pick and choose between friends and I already did a bbq at my house last year. Please help my family is on a tight budget so it has to be pretty cheap! Thanks
(link)
well,wht you could do is to invite couple of friends and go to the movies and then have them come back to your house to open presents. Just something simple and inexpensive and have everone bring their own money.


ok, how much should i charge for cars or trucks? (link)
i would say 10$ because you don't want the customer to think that you just want to be expensive to think that you won't do a good job if the price is cheap.


ok so i only want to lose 5-6 lbs in a short period of time any one know how if so please tell!!! (link)
JUst get a rutine going. Like run and lift weights every other day then the rest of the days walk and lift weights. You could also change your diet.


What is 'grinding' in comparison to sex? (link)


is a form of dirty dancing. where a female rubs her booty on a guys dic till he gets hard


My mom made me a doctors appotment in August with a regualar pediatricion. (i'm 13)

I'm gonna get a physical or a check-up, I can't remember which one. Thing is, I havn't been to the doctor since I was 7 or 8. So, of course, I've gotten my period since then.

Will my doctor want to take a look "down there"?

(Sorry my spellings kinda messed up, I'm in a hurry) (link)
No, my mom said that doctors will just ask you have you started it yet. Nothing to worry about.


Hey well me and my best friend spend all kinds of time togehter...but ever since she got a bf that can drive shes been spending all her time with him! Dont get me wrong we still hang out alot but shes kinda been blowin me off for him and i feel like im losing her to her boyfriend:( what to do:(
*catherine* 15/f (link)
What i would do is... ask her if you all can spend time together including her boyfriend maybe sometimes. Also, tell her how you feel! And once again she does need to have some alone time with her bf however she should be hangin out with you a little more.


so i'll start by telling you a bit about myself.

i am 15 f. i don't want to sound arrogant but yes, i am popular which is why i don't get what is going on. I am vasrity cheerleader as a sophmore and have no trouble w/ guys and have alot of girl friends. so this is my question...

i got into a figth with this girl and it got bad, but girls are catty. she tried to ruin my reputation, but i ruined her life =] i got her kicked off of class vice president and her friends hate her. but to be fair, she really deserved it im not kidding. she posted pictures of me that were like edited and crap to make it look like i was naked, like photocopying my head onto the pic or w/e. and posted it on alot of the lockers. idk why she did it, shes just jealous b/c im dating her ex bf. seems to me like SHES the sociopath not me...

so after this i got in trouble, the school sent me to a therapist to talk about why i act the way i do. he diagnosed me a sociopath. But um... sociopaths are psycho anti-socials and im the center of attention. Im not a freak, i love shopping and guys and they say just b/c im a little decieving and like it my way, makes me a sociopath???

can somebody please explain to me how a popular varsity cheerleader can be a sociopath because i am way not antisocial. (link)
No your right that doesn't make you a sociopath. Don't listen to what anyone else says. You know what you are and just stick with that.


im 16/f. and i met this guy a few weeks ago. lets call him E, well we chilled a few times and eventually i found out he had a daughter. i asked him exactly how old was he and he sed 23! ..he asked back and the next thing i knew i was "18". well.. later, we had sex. and the next day i found out he was still living with his babymama. he sed he's not with her thoughh.. but i dont know. we have a date on friday.. and i dunno what to do. shud i just leve him or pretend like it all doesnt bother me. i mean .. i like him and all.. and im just reallie confused.. (link)
Well, if you really like him i would go on the date and then just see how it goes. Follow your instincs. You know...and just follow your heart. If you begin to feel uncomfortable and it feels like to much just move on.


OK so I'm not trying to sound concieded but i no i'm really popular and my boyfriend gets really mad because everyone stops and talks to me and asks me questions. And he doesnt like that i have a lot of guy friends. But thats just how i am i have a million friends i'm really socail what do i tell him (link)
Just tell him that its just the way you are and that if you were trying to get with these boy friends...So just tell him that he should be able to trust her and that you would never cheat on him and he is the only one that you would kiss and hug and all of those things that u all do.


Okay, so im 15. f.
i guess ill start from the beginning
i knew this guy named "joe" who had a friend named "kyle". me and joe dated for a while. kyle hated me because i was always with joe, and he never spent any time with him anymore. After i stopped dating joe. I started talking to kyle for some reason. We would honeslty talk like 4 hours every day on the phone, about like nothing. We were inseperable, we would always be together, he was my best friend, and he was my first guy that i actually fell in love with. But I dont really know what happened, but as soon as summer started everything just seemed to go down hill with him. I went to one of my friend mikeys house to help him with one of his problems, kyle found out by my brother because when he called i left my phone at home, and my brother told him where i was at and he got jealous, over nothing because me and mikey didnt do anything. so i called him back that night, and he just wouldnt talk to me, so i was said "well i have better things to do then if your not going to talk" and he hung up on me. and i didnt bother to call him back. like 3 days later without talking to him i finally did apologize over txt, he said he had to go somewhere so he couldnt talk for the next 4 days and he would call me when he got back. so i thought everything was okay again..wrong. he never called me back, i called him back like 6 days after the day he told me he had to go somewhere, and we talked for about a minute, cause he was tired and watned to go to bed. i thought it was just one of those mood swings he was goin through..but i dont know we havent talked for about a month now, and i still think about him alot, and im still completely in love with him still..and i dont know what to do, my friends tell me to move on, but ive tried and i cant, i dated one person after him, but i had to break up with him because i knew that wasnt fair to him that i was still in love with someone else. but now..i really have come to a drop dead end. and i dont know what to do..should i call him? or should i just give him his space, and wait for him to call me, which i know might take forever..and i dont know if im willing to wait that long? i cant move on..so thats defintaly not one of the options. any advice would help. i rate high for any advice. thanks for reading (link)
I think what you should do iz to just let things happen on its own. Of course he should know that you have feelings for him still. However... he needs some time to you know regroup himself from what he heard weather it waz you were tryin to get wit him or not. I am not tryin to say that you are but i waz just giving an explanation.


this may be a little weird...but i was wondering, is it better to sleep with a bra or without one? thanks (link)
It is better to sleep without one because my mom always told me that if u sleep with it on it will get stinky and you may not develop aas quikly.


im 23 now and i still havent had sex. ive been waiting to have sex, but now i want to have sex and no one wants to now. is 23 too long to wait? (link)
Try to dress more sex appealing. I mean but there is nothing wrong with not haveing sex unless you really want to. I mean have you ever seen the 40 Year Old Virgin?


My "friend" and I were wondering (well, he thinks he knows, but I don't believe him)...

I know a 13f who just had her 5th kid. She wants to keep breast feeding to keep from getting pregnant again. Is this a crock of shit, or does she know something I don't?


Is it valid birth control to prolong lactation? (link)
I would just tell her that she is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo young to be getting into this she could hurt herself and it could lead to death.


This is strictly for the women on advicenators to answer. i am a male (21 years old) and I know it is typical of a guy to ask the question i have (in the title), and even more typical to be worried about it. i am not huge, nor am i claiming to be asking for a friend. i am average, maybe more, but i am thick. to make up for the lack of size, i give amazing oral until whomever i'm with reaches orgasm. my question is this; would a girl prefer a guy who is average but can really 'eat', or a guy who is well above average and only 'eats' about average? ( for those women who don't know, average length for a man is from 6-7" ) (link)
It's more about tecnique but i know what i like.


alot of people say that fingering feels good.. but whenever i or someone else does that to me ..it doesnt feel good.. is there something wrong with me ? (link)
Um, well take a shower first and put some lingerie on and just get down to business. You know that you could be in the wrong position or maybe you just aren't ready. Instead of taking a shower though, you could pick up some KY jelly from CVS or something. not Vaseline though.


My man's birthday is July 3rd what can I do for him? I want to do something that will just like blow his mind. Any ideas?? He'll be turning 22 and he is a Marine if that helps. I rate. (link)
Just light some red, white, and blue candles call him down and say there is a problem at the house and then when he comes home say that there is no problem but the fact that you are mad about him. And then just have some chocolates around the bed and and just do the do. Or you could just go out to dinner or have a bachelor party for him.



I tried to upload a picture on my advice column but it said it was over 15kb, how do you make a picture smaller? (link)
If you have microsoft word then what you can do is to make it smaller and then save it and upload it.


So I kinda had this thing with this guy from school. I'm a 11th grader and he's a 12th grader, but we run into each quite a bit.
Well, we had a bit of a messy breakup. We've been friends for years then got "together" and it all messed up. Long story short, a friend of his told me he had been talking behind my back. I confronted my bf about it and he got mad that I didn't trust him, blah blah blah and said we were over. Just like that. I asked to work things out but he just wanted to be friends. Well I refused to be friends with him because he wasn't willing to even try to work things out, and I haven't even heard from him since then so I guess that's it. I blocked and deleted him off my IMs and off my phone.
Thing is, I'm dreading going back to school in a couple of weeks and seeing him. It doesn't help we get the same bus and share some of the same friends. I don't know how I'll ever be able to get over him if I have to see him. Also, we got to 2nd base together.. and I'm afraid he's going to tell people this. I really regret going that far now, but the main issue I have is that it's going to spread around the school.

Should I swallow my pride and be friends with him, just so there'll be peace? Or am I justified in not being friends with him? I really don't want to speak to him again but I'm afraid of what's going to happen if there's bitterness between us.

All advice appreciated. Thank you.

I think that you are totally justified in not wanting to be friends with him. I had a friend named Elizabeth, and she pissed me and all of my friends off so we decided not to be friends. Whenever we passed each other in the hallway, especially since we had lockers right next to each other, we decided to at least be civil to each other or ignore each other completely.
