I really like him but he only seen me a couple of times. I really want to know his name and get to know each other, but I dont know how! Please help!

Try talking to him or meet his friends, if you meet his friends then you can go over to them and say hi. or a friend of yours who knows him coulsd be with hima you could go over to say hi then. If you like the boy just go say hi. You just need confidence to face him. hope i helped.

Q: i know this sounds childesh, but my mom gave me a puppy for my birthday and theres just one problem. she wants to have him fixed. and i dont want to have him fixed. it will hurt him and think it's his choice to reoproduce or not. but my mom says he'll be less aggresive and then she had the nerve to tell me it's her house and what she says go's. i dont want to have him fixed but my mom's being a total bitch. how do i convince my mom that it's unfair to fix a dog, and he's mine not hers.

Try talking to her, just say to her nicely the dog is yours as u got it for your birthday. Tell her, it maybe her house but it is your dog. just ask her if she would not get him fixed. hope i helped.

Q: my BEST FRIEND has been for me since 2nd grade, and i dont want anything to come between us.

last year i went out with a guy, umm lou..sure...and he broke up with me...but ive always been crushing on him since. just crushing...i still flirt with others and stuff, but my best friend..uhh..zoe....nos that i "like" him.
lately shes been flirting with lou alot, and she came out and told me she likes him more than a friend. i was really upset, but she promised me that she wouldnt hurt me by going out with him or anything.
so now she told LOU that she liked him, and im thinking that they are soon going to go out, cuz my other friend came up to me and was like, "do you hate zoe now??" and im like why and their like "oops nvm" and so i think they're gonna go out or already are.
so what im asking is should i just let them go and break my heart..but still have my friend and try to forget about it-or let this situation hurt my friendship and make her realize how bad she really hurt me.
ill rate high nomatter what cuz this is longish...thnx

Just ask your friend, if she really is your friend she would tell you. if she doesn't then i think u should forget yours and zoe's friendship. she promised u then broke it if she does or is. I'd go up to lou and tell him this then ask him. hope i helped.
