advice
My boyfriend is coming over later today to stay for awhile because we haven't seen each other much lately. The thing is, I don't know what to do when he gets here! He's going to be here for awhile, what can we do that's not super boring, I don't want him to think that I'm boring! Um, the only idea I have would be to show him all of our vacation pictures (there's like a billion!) does anyone else have any ideas? Please help! I will rate high!
rent a movie! thats always great. and make sundaes! after you order take out. be like "im starved and we have no food....LETS ORDER TAKE OUT!" take a walk around the block...hold hands. just do stuff youd normals do with your friends. play a fun board game. and when you make sundaes (if you do and want to ) put some whip cream on his face...haha make it fun. well i hope you go my advice in time. HAVE FUN. BE YOURSELF. kay, good luck. hit up the inbox and feedback. haha. byeee
There this new guy in Early childhood class and he is the only guy in it and he lives next to me.I REALLY like him and I told my friend that and she is all over him.Then I asked her if she liked him and she said ewww no!!! I cant get my mind off of him.I think he likes my friend because no doubt she is really pretty.But everytime we see each at home he says hi in a really hot way and smiles and then he goes hola to me.He is soo hot.Should I make the first move or should I try to forget about him.I rate high!!!
i say make the first move! ask your friend if she really likes him...tell her its okay if she does...and that you cant control who she lieks. (even if you will get a little mad). if i were you id def make the first move on this hottie. haha. well if he acts how you said i think he has a thing for you. and do you have any proof he likes your friend? looks arent everythingin a girl. haha. and even if he does like her a LITTLE...(prob doesnt)...but flirt with him...let him know you like him. do you play manhunt in your town? ask some friends over put your friend thats "pretty" on the other team with some other people and have you onb his team with some people. sounds good? idk what early childhood classes are like so...i really dont know why that matters. well, GOOD LUCK! haha really. give me feedback and send the outcome to my inbox. much love, erica
Ok there is this senior in my art class and I know him from our mothers because they work together.By the way I am a senior.I told my mom I think he likes me because of the way he acts around me and she said dont even try it.I wouldnt anyway because I only like him as a friend.Then on Friday he gave me his number and said call me if you want to hang out.I dont want to be mean but I want to hang out with him but I am afraid he will ask me out and I dont want to so does anyone know what I should if he does??Ill rate high for any answer
well, if you like him back...hang out with him! dont be afraid if he will ask you out...because if he does...just say something like "well, idk...i kind of like being friends...sorry". its kind of confusing the way you said it... but does you mom like the kid?...it sounds like she doesnt know him, so i think you should hang out with him. sorry i dont quite understand. andi made it sound confusing. well, get back to me on what you do. and send some feedback and inbox. much love. good luck

okay, theres this guy i like we just started talking online today.. but anyway he suddenly just imed me out of the blue and was just talking! I didnt understand why all of a sudden he wanted to talk to me.. but yeah. At school tuesday I want to say something to him but I dont know what.. what should i say?
well, he wouldnt IM for no reason. he oviously WANTS to talk to you. ya know...he might feel the same as you do...maybe it was just building up the courage to talk to you...maybe tahts why it took so long. he just made the first move. you should show him you can make a move to. you can just be simple and say hi...maybe a little flirtahious (?)...but not too much.......you were only talking. but still. say "hey ----" and give him a smile. it really depends. kay get back to me with what you do. give me some feedback and send something to the inbox. much love. good luck. -erica =)
I get embarassed ALL the time. EVERYTHING embarasses me. It has gotten so bad, that it's to the point where getting embarassed is what I think about ALL day. I wonder when I'm gonna feel stupid, or who is gonna embarass me, etc..When I get embarassed my face turns BRIGHT red and it stays that way for a while and only gets worse when I think about it. I can feel it getting hott and I know it's turning red and then I think about it which makes me feel even more stupid! I'm so nervous and I don't want to look like an idiot. What are some ways that I can not be so obvious or cover it up!? Is there make-up, a certain way to breathe, or ANYTHING!? I'm so desperate. I need help!
haha okay your not a random weirdo...so you dont belong in that catagory. well, you nee dto lighten up a bit. relax. i used to get enbarresed...NOT that bad...but then i realized EVERYONE is like that!!! seriously we all get embarraced! its just the ones that are insecure that show it! you need to see that everyone has the same feelings as you. there is nothing to be enbaressed about. just dont think about how ebarressed you are...just think about a complament someone gave you......something that would give you SELFESTEEEM. because tahts what you need. you need ro except yourself. be more outgoing. laugh. talk. live a little. be the first to say hi. talk to people. just relax and remember YOUR NORMAL NOT WEIRD. i really hope i helped. please get back to me on this one. much love. -erica.
Sorry its soooooooo long OKay i really like 3 guys...but none of them have feeelings for me back well like we are friends..but none of them wanna go to the next level 2 of them like the same girl and its not me and the other one goes to another school like an hour away from where I live...I really like them and I want to have a relationship with one of themm...do any of you guys have advice for what I could do so that they would like me back??
Thanks in advacne and I''ll rate five for good answers..btw 13/f
hey girl! its totally freakin normal to like more than one guy..but not good to go out with more than one...hahahaha. well, 2 of the guys like another girl, so id say they're out. do you have aim? and if he does too..talk to him on that and flirt with him. dont be a tease though...just send some signals...ahahaha...and if you get a chance ask who he likes...or if he likes anyone. and if he askes you...make sure you say him. and make it ovious you want to spend time with him. and talk to him...on a cellphone? or phone...if you have one. and get together alot. i hope that works. good luck...get back to me...send some to the inbox and feedback. much love. -erica
ok hears the deal, im 14 and a male, and im seein this girl, shes 20. and i dono if shes cheatin on me and i cant tell i really like her and one night i had sex wit her does anyone think that thats bad?
you know thats illegal right?
and if you cant tell you like her. YOU DONT like her. because you can tell when you really LOVE somebody. and if you sense shes cheating on you...she prob. is...im not being sexis because IM A GIRL...but girls are pron to cheat. and i think its bad in a way that its ILLEGAL, and i think you should try for girls your age or younger...because girls love older guys. and i think its kinda weird, yes...but i dont want to unsult you. haha. well send one to the inbox...and give me feedback. thanks. much love. -erica.
Ok you see my best friend in the whole world has really REALLY bad breath! Wich I really don't care but when sge smells it (her breath) She always says OMG Brittany you breath smells so so bad! I mean I always brush my teeth and always chew gum and eat ice brackers (I have 0 cavities) So what should I say to her? Uesally I just say "Oh I do?" So what should I start saying?
aw haha thanks. yea yea yea i guess you can call me sweet ;p ;p haha im just kiding. and i just re-read my answer...and i really sucked at typed there. haha sry bout that. well bye! and good luck =)
(i answered this before...im just writing back)
there's this guy i like, we'll call him mark. Mark is really sweet, and he's really nice to me... Anyway he plays around bein rude to everybody, like insulting them as a joke and they know it kinda thing. But he doesn't do that to me, he's play rude to the girl he likes/liked (not sure if he still likes her or not), and he's play rude to me sometimes, but he doesn't go out of his way to insult me or be rude which is part of why i like him. Mark treats me like a lady. i'm really thrown for a loop... i want him to like me, and we hang out alot (we sit beside each other on the bus to and from all football games because we're in the marching band, we hang out in the commons of the high school every morning, along w/ a bunch of other people, and we have alot of classes together and whatnot), but from all my experiences w/ guys that have liked me in the past, they were play rude or genuinly rude to me, because they didn't want me to know or something i guess. but anywho, what does it mean when he's nicer to me than anyone else? he really does treat me different. does he just think of me as a friend, or does he like me or does he just not really think that much of me either way so he doesn't really think to treat me like his other friends? i'm really confused... please help

oww la la. hah sounds like the boy likes you. if he didnt like you i dont think he would act any didfferent to you than he did his other friends. i think its cool how you so alot with eachother also. i think you should try to tell him how you feel. well, i know how hard that is, because i was in the same situation...so just flirt with him more so he gets the signal you like him. thats what i would do. and if he ever asks you who you like, try to tell him you like him. and maybe even ask HIM who HE likes. well, i hope i helped. send one to the inbox...im anxious to see how it turns out. =)
My best friend is 13 and I'm almost 14. I got my period last november and she still hasnt gotten it.
So we were talking about it one nite because i got it that nite. So she was like damn it I want mine and I was like you shouldnt. Than she was like my mom told me that when your friends get their periods your more likely to get yours around that time too. I was like really thats weird.
Now is this a true statement or a wild guess I mean because to me it sounda a little out there.
Its a little weird so i didnt know where to put this question.
well, yes because most of your friends are around the same age as you...you tend to get your period the same time as they do. but that doesnt mean you HAVE to. like ive had mine for almost a year...yeah a year a couple months...and my friend STILL hasnt got hers. so its normal but usally you get it around the same time. some get it early, some late, some average. it just means they will have it for a little longer than you. well, i hope i helped. get back to be. =)
Is there something you need to put on your hair before you straighten it or curl it?
well, yes you should put some kind of product on it before you use a curler OR a straightener. i learned this the hard way. it burns your hair...you might not beable to tell right away but the hair dressers caught mine before it got too bad. it will fry your hair and make it frizzy. so ANY type of product is goo. i use a sleek and shine (blue bottel) from purology but its exspensive =\ really, ANY product is good. i hope i helped =)
hey! okay i have a problem. but first id like to say how i think its great that oyur doing this. and i think you sound really nice. haha. well, im a big flirt. im kind of a ttease. and everyone calls me a slut. and i dont want to be that person anymore. i want to be in a more stable relationship. and i would like to have a boyfriend. butidk if everyone will exsept me as that person. this is something i really want to do. i think im maturing. but im in the popular group now and if i go for the change, that I WANT, i dont know if everyone will still think im cool. PLEASE help. im super desperate. because i cant talk to my friends about this
hey girl! well, first of all...i think its great that you're going for that change. and it shows great character in you. this is what YOU want. this is my advice, pretend your in a world where no one elses opionions exists...what choice would you make then? by the way your exsplaining your situation...i think its ovious you would prefer to be in a stable relationship. and if your friends dont like the way you WANT to be...they arent worth it..and i know that sounds harsh....but im putting myself in your situation..and i dont think they would get mad at you or lket yo go as their friend. and if they do...you have to realize they arent the friends that you need. i raelly hope i helped. get back to me on how you take my advice. =) thanks.
