ok so theres this amazing guy i like and i think he might like me 2 but im so bad at these kind of things idk what to do.everytime i see him i get anxious and melt. He looks st me at nutriion and one walked to our classes together. he talked to me the other night over facebook and said he would try to make the football game ..bascially for me. i couldnt go becuase i was grounded. now im so scared to say hi on facebook. Everytime im about to he signs off.(my luck right?) well he always looks at me when i pass by and my friends think he likes me. He asked if i had my texting bak yet. but i said no. his friend kept look at me te entire break one day and i wondering why. Im realyy freaking out because i dont know if he likes me and everybody says he does...should i maybe give him more hints or anything..pleaze hep im desperate..

You guys make a really cute match. It seems to me like you're both the cute shy type. If thats so.. Try this..

Key the following text message into your cell phone (you're not going to text it)

"I think you're really cute.. and I think you like me. I really like you and I really liked having you walk me to my classes. I want to see what else I like about you. Is that okay with you?"

Anyway, when you see him; Pretend to suddenly get a text message, then say, "Oh! Its for you!" hand him your phone, and just watch his eyes.

If he's that shy, he might say "I don't understand."

If so just tell him "I want you to be my boyfriend, silly."

I'm almost positive you guys will really hit it off. Let me know if you decide to try this, I'm really interested! : )

I hope you find my answer helpful.
------------------
EDIT: If you decide to go with a less direct approach and would rather just drop subtle hints, try and look for reasons just to spend bits of time with him. "Hey, I need some help carrying my books. Please? If its not too much trouble?"

I see HXC everywhere but I can't find out what it means cause none of my friends know.

Can you tell me?

Any hip, cool, dope, phat, kid will tell ya. lol
HXC means hardcore and straightedge. Its a type of adjective people use for themselves. If someone describes themselves as being HXC that means they are totally against drug/alcohol use and that they WILL NOT have sex before marriage, they probably will never smoke cigarettes either. Its just a cool way of saying someone is pure.

Do blood tests usually hurt more than shots? Is there a lot of swelling like when I have had shots in the past? I have to have one done and I am like terrified of it! Help?

No. Absolutely not. : )

SHOTS SUCK! BLOOD TESTS ARE EASY! ^_^

A blood test is a relatively painless process, you've probably already had your blood tested in the past but you don't remember. In most blood tests, the doctor asks you to extend your index finger and he holds a device up to it. Then he presses a little button that quickly clicks it and you're all done. The process doesn't take but a quick second and you're done. You won't see a needle so you won't even know when you should be afraid. Its really quick, it doesn't hurt at all. Its just like.. A tiny little prick ya know? I promise you're going to be completely fine! : ) Oh, and theres no swelling either.

at parties how do i get guys to want to dance with me? yuh know like when they want to get a girl to dance with them they just go behind her and start dancing .. well they dont do that to me and then there dancing with my friends and im dancing alone how do i change that

I really like this question. : ) It brings me back to a little personal situation.

I remember back in my navy days, I was at a club and I saw this really cute girl but she was just so confident in herself. She had never even noticed me. Talking to a buddy of mine he told me to just go up behind her and start dancing but I couldn't muster the courage. Eventually, he literally shoved me against her forcing me to start dancing. It turned out just fine, but there was a better way.

What I learned from this.. I would have felt a lot more confident in just going up to dance with her myself if she'd at least said Hi beforehand.

What I'd recommend that you do is just a little flirting. Go up to a cute guy, grin, and just say "Hi! Great party right? Do you wanna dance or something?". Be real casual, smile a whole lot, and try to come off as cute as possible.

or.. you could try and be all cute and pout about it like.. Go up to a guy you think is cute..
Put on a playful little frown, (not a big frown) just make it obvious that its a fake frown. And say.

"none of the cute guys are dancing wif me.. : (
Will you dance wif me cute guy?"

Most likely, they'll be flattered, and they'll smile and say sure.

Hope i was able to help! : )

Just be really cute and talk to the guys! Sooner or later, you'll get one dancing with you! I promise!

How do i make a girl want me? Everything iv sad or dont she has sad she heres it all the time from other girls and she always gets screwed over. How can i show her that im not gonna screw her over and that i truley want to be with her and that i am different from every other girl? helppp

I think I have a better answer for you..
Feel free to quote me when you speak to her.

"Theres not a single thing I could say to make you think I'm any different from every other girl out there. I know there's no way I can change your opinion of the female race. But if you give me this chance, just this once, I bet I could make you think twice."

By the way, come to her with flowers when you say that. Like.. get all dressed up and everything, its really important that you look your best and try to be as sincere as you possibly can.

so i have to columns of data in excel that goes for like two pages. Is there a way to make it add the two columns of each row together in one step?

if you're trying to literally put the text together.. use

= CONCATENATE(A1,B1)

Otherwise.. for just adding the numeric value of them.. just do =A1+B1

When you paste it in other rows, it'll automatically update to show the contents of the cells in that row.

(CONCATENATE(A1,B1) becomes (CONCATENATE(A3,B3) when you place it in C3 instead of C1.

hes 20/m

alright, me and my boyfriend broke up about 2-3 months ago. if it was a normal circumstance, i could just tell him to f*ck off and leave me alone... but i cant, im havin his kid :/

i broke up with him because he was very manipulative, he lied (even tho he wouldnt admit it, it was obv) about the stupidest stuff like winning fights all the time and where he was, he kept me on a leash, he ALWAYS talked about how many girls wanted him to make me jealous, hed always accuse me of cheatin and turn everything around on me. i couldnt take it anymore !

but i found out i was pregnant with his kid, and then he wouldnt leave me alone. i told him just to give me some time to breathe and then id call him. the first month hed call me every 3 days to a week. he didnt understand i just need some time by myself, because im the kind of person who needs to sit and think about things for a while before i act on it.

finally i agreed to let him over my house FOR A LITTLE WHILE so we could talk about things. basically, he just came over to win me back!! which i made it a point that i would not ever ever get back with him. he starts makin a scene and cryin to me... then tellin me that he cheated on me so many times. when i didnt have a reaction he said he was kidding... then he went on to say he did indeed cheat on me...then took it back again... THEN, hes like 'well can i call this girl im talkin to from your phone?' and im like 'YES if youll leave after that'. so he calls her...but it ends up not bein a girl he was talkin to but his ex girlfriend that has aboyfriend who hes NOT talkin to. WHAT THE HELL!?

so finally after 5 hours of him not leavin, i finally get him outside the door. hes like 'will you kiss me?' and i said 'NO! leave pleaseeee' (im cryin and exhausted because he just wont leave). and then he says 'well, if i cant have you..then have a nice life.' and i said 'oh youre not gonna be in your kids life? okay...' then he forcefully grabs my arm and says 'call the judge call the cops i dont care im dippin somewhere' and i just said 'okay, good luck with that.' turned around and tried to close the door.

then he wont let me close the door and starts yellin into my house, i dont even really remember what he was sayin because i was so mad. but i was just yellin 'PLEASEEE LEAVE PLEASE I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!' and then finally my mom had to come out. he still wouldnt leave. finally my step dad came out and pushed him out the door.

now he keeps callin to come over and im like 'hell no after what you did at my house...' but he wont leave me alone. he sends me messages on myspace talkin to the baby!!! its soooo weird and i just get stresssed out everytime i hear his name.

now i think hes like crazy, and i dont want my kid goin over his house all the time. he thinks hes gonna see it everyday or somethin, sayin he 'doesnt wanna be a weekend dad'. and i cant handle seein him that much, ill go nuts!

someone help me find a nice way to tell him to back off... i cant keep ignorin his calls but he just stresses me out so much its not healthy for me or the baby.

THANKS :(

Hello. : )
21/m here.
I'm not sure how much this helps, but this may very well be best handled in a court case. As the barer of his child, you hold the best interest in the welfare of your child. If he becomes too out of hand, first block him in all ways possible. (myspace, messengers, by phone). Next, obtain a restraining order. He'll be penalized if he even attempts to contact you. He's going to learn very quickly that he's not the one making the choice of whether or not he becomes a "weekend dad". There are a number of options out there. There is NOOO way he should be able to continually herass you like this. Stress can be terrible for an unborn child's well being. I hope I was able to help.

What are the perks of abusing Vicodin? I dont understand why people abuse it... Please let me in on the secret?

The main use of Vicodin is to suppress pain. Like the person above me mentioned, one could easily become addicted to it when they were only using it by prescription to begin with. Now.. The reason that people end up getting addicted to it to begin with is that it replaces that pain with a great feeling. Its hard to explain really.. In laments terms, "It makes you feel really good!" Its very similar to alcohol abuse. (I've never used drugs in my life, by the way). Anyway they become addicted to its effects, their body adapts to it, and they slowly begin to convince them self that they can't go through a day in life without that extra "feel good boost". I hope that helps.

how can you tell if a guy like you or not??

There are a number of ways! Out of curiosity, I read an article on this some time back. Some of the key signals are this:

1. He always seems to laugh no matter how terrible your jokes are.
2. He looks for an excuse to talk to you, then shortly afterwards, he realizes that he actually has nothing to talk about.
3. He gives you a playful wink.
4. You notice him, then when he sees you, his expression immediately turns to a grin.
5. He makes dumb jokes about you.
6. He offers to help you with just about anything.
7. He ends up late to class because it was much more important to walk you to yours.
8. He makes a lot of dumb mistakes when he's around you. (trips, runs into something, or is really quiet).

I hope that helps!

16 year old guy ive been seeing my gf for about 4 months and im a bit worried my penis is 4.5 inches long when erect is that an ok size?
what size do girls like?

OMGosh. loll
I think both you AND your girlfriend use the same advice site. lol Anyway, I'm a male too, don't worry about size. You're pretty average, don't worry about it. After all the saying is, "its not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean."

I', try adding a drop down menu on my myspace profile but it won't show.

I used a drop menu generator for the code and it still doesn't work.

How can I fix this??

Hello. Can I get you to paste the code in your question? I'll try and debug it for you. Please don't leave feedback for this answer. Just revise your question and add the code for it, I'll take a look at it and I'll see if I can help you out. : )


UPDATE: NOV.18,2008 02:43AMCST
Hi again, I just tested your code first in an HTML file and then on my own myspace. I found absolutely no problems with it. I think I have a few solutions as to why its not displaying for you though.

1) It may just be your web browser, this code is fully functional, as I said, maybe try using Internet Explorer if you aren't already.

2) Try throwing in a few line breaks before the code. Its possible that its still displaying, its just that its crammed up against the wall of your page.


Try adding those in on top of your code.

3) Let's try and work out a solution together! : ) You can find links to contact me on my advice column. Add me on AIM, MSN, or YAHOO and we'll figure this out! ^_^


Here's the example file I created to run in your web browser showing that there's nothing wrong with your code.

http://corez3r0.1free.ws/testfile.htm

Oh.. also go ahead and check out it on my own personal myspace here.

http://www.myspace.com/core_z3r0

Your code is listed right under "Who I'd like to meet". Just to show that it works.

There is an episode of Degrassi where Danny falls for Leia but Derek likes her as well. While Leia is dancing in the gym, Danny is watching her and there is a song playing in the background with the words "I can't figure it out" but I don't know who sings it or what it is called (unless it's called I can't figure it out) :p Can someone tell me the song name and the artist?!

When I become hurt, it’s usually caused by the feeling that someone is leaving or abandoning me. It’s much like those feelings that come to you your first time lost in a store as a child. Those gut wrenching feelings that indicate to you that you’re alone and have nowhere to go. It’s this feeling, the feeling you feel when you’ve lost all hope and are left hopeless and defenseless, that overwhelms me. I become mute and regress back into a child; a child that can no longer decide for themselves and one which searchers eagerly for some sort of substance to rely upon.

It’s times like this where I make the wrong choices. I become so focused on finding some sort of release that I make rash decisions; decisions which do not normally reflect me and decisions which I then lament for days. It’s not a matter of morals. My morality and ethics lose all validity and in no way dictate the actions I take. (for example, i'll finally find someone but they'll have the wrong intentions but i become so emotional that i go with it.) I become numb.

This release I get, it’s like a drug. When I don’t have it, I fall into withdrawal. I lose all coherencies and break down into tears for hours. Many times I’ll cry until late in the morning.
During one of these rare withdrawal outbreaks I’ll normally attempt to drown myself out with music. I’ll lie in bed, listening to music and bawl.The pain I go through is agenizing. “Why does everyone keep leaving me?” I ask myself wanting to, simultaneously, to hurt my, self loathing, self pitying self, while grasping myself tightly in search of comfort. It's like as if I'm having a mental breakdown. I wonder what it is that I do that keeps driving people away. "They only reason they have to leave me is if I disappoint them or do something wrong."

I’ll continue this until my body becomes weak and it becomes difficult to continue on. The irrepressible rapidity of my breathing overwhelms me to the extent where I eventually pass out. When I awake, I’ll either continue on from where I last left off or sleep it off and learn to repress my ill feelings and move on begrudgingly though my daily routine, acting as if nothing had ever happened.

I went to a therapist not long ago and ended up bawling. She never aknowledged the fact that I might have abandonment issues being that I'm adopted but at the moment I feel extremely overwhelmed and need help.

Please some advice. thank you.

Well first I'd like to say that you seem to be a VERY intelligent young girl. Are you religious? I'm not personally, but if theres anything I've learned over time, its that god exists at least in the eyes of everyone who believes in him. Pick up a bible and read it. With god on your side, whether he exists or not, you'll never feel alone. If thats not really your style, reach out to your close personal friends and family. Let everyone know how you feel. I promise they'll all pamper you and take care of you. There are all sorts of social communities you can join for assistance. One last suggestion, I'd recommend a hobby. Maybe try learning guitar? A few strums on my squire usually brings my mind to rest. If you need anymore advice, please just keep posting, I will try my best to always answer you. Even if I don't, someone else with good intentions will. You're not alone. No matter what you do, there will always be someone waiting for you with open arms. I promise.

I'm 15/f and I really want to get a job somewhere in my town. Any ideas of who to go to that would know of stores or busienesses that are looking for hire? Also, I have one babysitting customer that doesn't use me often, so any ideas on how to get babysitting jobs rather than flyers? because I tried that, it didn't work.

I'm pretty sure you have to be 16 to apply for a job in the US. I'm not sure about other countries. But.. If you have a parental signed form you can still apply for a job. The thing is, you're still attending school so even the hours that you work are limited.

19/female.

i guess everyone has different opinions on this .. but i'd just like to see how everyone feels about this! so i obviously shave down there, but everytime i know or feel like i will be doing something sexual with a guy i feel like i have to be baby smooth down there with absolutely no stubble. it's actually really annoying having to worry about being that smooth but i feel like if i have a little stubble, the guy will be grossed out. i would feel a bit awkward asking haha so i was just wondering (both guys and girls) how you feel about stubble?

Good evening. As a male I can honestly say that a little stubble isn't an issue. It only shows that you're a human. Suppose I had the option of choosing whether or not a girl had stubble.. I think I would actually rather she had some. If foreplay occurs, and he ends up with his hand in your pants, the stubble can actually help intensify the sensation you receive, so thats always a plus. Like I said, I'm just a guy, and I'm just giving my opinion. Good luck, however you choose to handle it. : )

Basically Volleyball is my life, I have been playing it for only 3 years (all year) and I absolutely love it. I plan to play in college, and I have always been naturally good at it. Well anyway I hurt my arm, my shoulder to be exact, (the back part of it) near my rotator cuff. I dont know if I injured my rotator cuff or not, but my shoulder hurts really bad, I litterally cant hit the ball. Ive been so depressed lately, Im actually crying about it. Tryouts for club volleyball are wednesday the 18th of november, and Im scared my arm wont be healed. I have put ice and heat on it, but I keep getting so upset and frusterated. It has hurt for about 3 weeks, and hasnt stopped. I dont know what to do, I cant be happy and Im always crying when Im alone. What if I play horribly at tryouts and dont make the team? My friends are taking private lessons to get the new coach to like them so they get on the team, and I cant even play volleyball right now. Please help me. any advice? Im so upset.

What I've learned from living life for the 21 years that I have is that you should never be upset over things you cannot change. Leroy Tolstoy is credited for saying. "Man often tries to change the world, but seldom ever tries to change himself." In this scenario, you're just going to have to hope for the best. You have 3 years of experience under your belt, so I'm sure you'll do fine when tryouts come around. This may seem tough but.. If I were you, I would try to play through it. I'm not saying thats the best option, please don't misunderstand. But if you really want this, you should go for it. I hope your arm starts feeling better soon. I assume you've seen a doctor. But.. just consider this. If you don't make the team, there's nothing you could have done to try and change the outcome. Its not you fault. You can never blame yourself for this.

My last job was very racist..or atleast it dealt with a lot of people who were very racist and discriminating towards me..I was framed and fired. Now 3 months later I'm trying to apply for the same company but in a diffrent location..my only problem is what to write in the space "if fired please explain" part of the online application. I'd leave it blank but they'd find out about me being fired when they pull up my record..I know being fired lowers my chances of even getting a first interview but it doesn't hurt to try right? ..

I'm not completely sure how you should approach this.. But, if it were me. I'd write "Please contact me for an explanation." If you just left it blank, it could hurt your chances more since they would think you were trying to deny it and no one likes a liar.

I've been getting a lot of little red bumps scattered around my stomach and my back and they've recently been spreading on my upper arm and on my neck. And this morning when i woke up my back was aching and feeling sore when i had done nothing for it to feel that way. So i took some moltrin pills and that took away the sore feeling. But the bumps keep breaking out. What could it be? I'm starting to get worried since its spreading =/

In the worst case scenario, this could be a mild form of fungi. Do the bumps ever itch? Fungi can be revealed easily by holding a black light near the surface of the bumps. If you see little white dots, then its fungi. You should seek medical attention either way, it could be contagious.

Thanks!

For the record, season six only started on September 29th. Any episodes she starred in before that were considered "the second half of season 5".
