ok i like this guy who i work with but has a girlfriend. I know wat ur going to say, dont try anything if hes involved with someone. I havent. Its just that at first he was a little weird right our flirting wasnt the same cause he had a girlfriend. But now its back if not more flirting. We talk about things in depth things and i dunno i feel like its meant to be. he tells me things he says he doesnt tell others and we have soo much in common. he was feeling bad one day so i admitted that b4 he got a girlfriend that i liked him and he said he liked me to. I remember he hinted to something but i didnt say anything on the comment, stupid me! Ugh, how do i further our relationship without being obvious or deliberatley breaking them up. I really like him and i know he likes me. Thanks! (link)
i agree with the other answer. Just continue to be there for him and show him that you are a great friend. I think since he liked you before those feelings are coming back up again. And he is just confused now since he has a girlfriend. And now that he knows how much you have in common, he is probably regretting not going after you in the first place. He just probably needs time now to sort out his feelings between his girlfriend and you. if its meant to be it will be!

There's this guy I like that I've known for a long time. However, he was pretty mean to me, with the teasing and stuff. Most of our conversations included insulting eachother over MSN (I blocked him later haha). Eventually we stopped the insulting / talking (if you can count it as that) because we have our groups that we hang out with.

As of now, whenever he talks to me he's pretty nice, and always seems to want to see me at church stuff. However, I've talked to one of his close friends before about what kind of a girl he likes, and it always seems to have the point that he'll never like me (by who i am).

So yeah, what should I do? (link)
first off, never believe what his friend thinks. He or she may think she knows but obviously he is at least a little interested since he wants to see you at church things and talking to you and stuff. Whatever the insulting things were that he has said to you must have gotten back to his friend and maybe they got the wrong idea from it. But I think you should continue talking to him and befriending him. Forget what his friend said, and go for it! You should never fear rejection from a guy because the ones that would reject you probably aren't even worth the trouble in the first place! good luck!


are their different kinds of layered hair? cause i was wondering i'm getting my hair layered tomorrow and i didnt know if you can pick a certain one. thanks for your help. (link)
there are several different ways you can do it. There is the shag haircut which is basically really choppy uneven layers. For more even layers, you can either have short layers meaning less difference between each layer, or longer layers which is a more noticeable difference. But if you go earlier most salons have books that you can look through, or your stylist can tell you the different styles.


Hey. Well, I'm thirteen/female. My problem is that when I get to like someone, I fall for them hard. Which I guess wouldn't be a bad thing, but like I can't stop thinking about them. I know like that's a sign of loving someone, but I feel it for everyone. I guess you could say I love flirting, but if there's one bad thing I'm not it's deffinatly a slut. I was wondering if there is anything I could do to fall a little less hard for people. Thanks anyways, even if you can't answer my question, thanks for reading. ♥. (link)
well let me tell you. if anyone falls hard for guys, i am that person! And honestly there is no easy way of dealing with it. It's not that you are "in the moment" and get caught up in flirting, but you really do like them a lot. its not a deep down love but they obviously start to mean a lot to you. But really i think that's pretty normal for someone your age. I am 20 now and i still have problems falling for guys to quick. But the best thing to do is to just try to see all sides of that person. Don't let all of the good things shine through and be blind to all the bad. Cause once you start noticing that this guy isn't superhuman, and he makes mistakes, it will make it a little harder for you to fall head over heels with him too quick.


What is the best, non-rudest, least akward way to tell someone you want them to get tested before you sleep with them? (link)
first off, that is great that you feel like that. I know when i first did anything, i was too chicken to say that and i was scared he might have thought i was accusing him of something. But if it is someone you are really serious wiht and are ready to have sex with, you should be pretty comfortable with him. So just tell him. Straight up. "have you had sex before?" "Do you know if you have anything?" "I want to know for sure."
unless you are honest about your intentions you probably won't be able to talk him into it.

Ok this seems long and soap-opera-ish but please bear with me. I’ve gotten rid of some of the details to make it shorter but please tell me if it isn’t clear enough. And please don't rant at me about being a cheating b**** or anything. I know I am a bad bad person. I just need you to tell me what to do.
Nate has always been the typical "rich bad boy" type. He gets a pack mentality when he is with his boys so he’s labeled an official ***hole. He's had a pretty bad past and when you get him alone, he’s different. He and I go a few years back when I wasn't into the party scene, and it got around that he "wanted" me. I shot that down and he gave up. I've been intrigued by him (i.e. had a crush on him) and we always used to exchange looks all the time at school and parties and I could feel the sizzles (but wasn’t sure it was mutual). Only last year did we start talking a bit inside and outside school. Then I finished school and didn’t see him.
In May, I met Blake. He’s ridiculously good-looking, the sweetest guy ever, and a cook. I didn’t think he was into me so I backed off then recently, Blake started showing interest in me and I was thrilled. We were perfect for each other, our life goals and views were the same, we had minor arguments sometimes, which ended with practically no resentment on either end, and we always made up quickly. It was the perfect relationship. I was still a virgin but he understood because he had only been with one chick (his year-long girlfriend in grade 11).
End of last year, Nate and I ended up at a party together. I was hammered out of my mind and we had sex in a bedroom. It was harsh to the point that he did it, shoved me away and left. I was broken after. Eventually, I told Blake and he was mostly sad for me and he did whatever he could to make me feel better. Including sex and it was just like the rest of our relationship, comfortable.
Then one day, Nate showed up at my house after I saw him at the mall and went home all shaken up. We had sex. We have had sex about five times now altogether. Usually it’s when I’m vunerable. It’s pretty much casual sex but it is explosive as in really really hot, stuff I thought didn’t exist outside novels. Blake and I haven’t even come close, even though there is some sizzle, it isn’t comparable. Told Blake once and he was mad but he came back and told me he’d still have me and he didn’t understand. Usually Nate just has sex with me and sticks around for a while and leaves but one time, he actually stayed after and kissed my face and stuff.
This is what confuses me. Blake and I are perfect for each other and it’s not a completely devoid of sexual drive either but when I’m with Nate, it feels right like it’s exactly where I belong.
I’m just so afraid of hurting Blake. I want to stay with him but at the same time, I feel like puking when I think about what a disgusting unfaithful slut I’m being. And I’m pretty sure Nate doesn’t want a relationship. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to look back twenty years from now and regret it. I know that bad boy’s can’t be tamed but I know his history and I kind of still ache for Nate but Blake is just perfect.
Help? (link)
i didn't read anyone else's answers so i may be repeating some of it, but what you have with Nate isn't love and it isn't something that could last a lifetime. He feels that ache for you too, but it's just a physical urge. You can't rely on someone like that. My advice is to tell Blake everything and take the chance of him dumping you. At least you will have a clear conscience about that and until you figure out what the deal is with Nate, Blake is honestly better off without you. It's not fair to him at all to keep him out of the loop, and if he is as good a guy as you say, he will understand that you are human. But to keep going on like this behind Blake's back is just cruel.


Give me a list of your favorite slow,love, sad kind of low beat songs I can put on my ipod.
Some of my favorites are
Pieces - Sum 41
Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (link)
one particularly comes to mind when i think of that description. You may have never heard it before but it is definitely worth listening to.

im in 8th grade, in a really small school. there is only 8 guys in my whole 8th grade. there all shallow, and will only go out with "hot" girls. sometimes they say, "if you cant supply, we will deny." Is that true about all guys? (link)
not all guys are like that at all. Actually those 8 in your school probably aren't even like that. They are just all talk. And since there are so few, it's hard for any one of them to be in a different group. The popular guys are the ONLY guys so therefore they are all acting that way. But I assure you most of the are just ACTING! most of them probably have never even got any themselves but it is the cool thing to make everyone think they have.


How do i touch up a photo without photoshoppe???

as in my face...like covering up blemishes &acne (link)
i have used Paint before. It is the program that comes on every computer with windows. You first take the little eyedropper thing and find a clear spot on your face and click on it. It takes the color that you have clicked on and makes it the default color. Then you use the pencil or the paintbrush and color over the spot. It takes a little bit of practice to get it to look perfect but it is the best way without getting into expensive software.


what are some good picture sites that i can upload pictures and show them to my friends? besides photobucket and picturetrail. are there any better ones? thank youu! (link)
i believe Kodak has a good site. They offer free image storage plus they offer printing at about 15 cents a pic which isn't bad except for having to get them mailed to you.


This wouldn't be a "love" question if it didn't involve a boy. So it does.
So Jack is my best friend. We get along great, and the whole shebang. And I like him. A lot.
I guess I'm a really shy person. Is there any way to tell if he likes me back?
Also. When I get to be good friends with someone, when I say goodbye, for the day, afterschool or whatever, I hug them.
Is it weird that I don't hug Jack? Should I? Would that be awkward? Would he be able to assume that I like him?
I really don't want to tell him that I like him because I don't want him to think that I'm weird, but I really want to know if he likes me too.
And my school has this thing going on next week called "Twirp". It's like Sadie Hawkins. The girl has to do everything, as opposed to the other way around. Should I say something then? (link)
the best way to be subtle about the dance is to just joke around with him about it. Maybe mention that you are thinking about asking "Bob" or whoever, and then say something like "who has asked you about going?" if he hasn't had anyone to ask him yet, or if he doesn't want to go with the ones that have asked, then just say, "well, if my date doesn't work out, and you can't get a date, then we should go together." or something like that, so you aren't being too obvious.


ok first off i`ve liked this boy [let`s call him joe] since i`ve met him & i`ve met him about 3-4 months ago . he`s been in A LOT of relationship`s maybe like 4-5 since i`ve known him . now he`s one of my guy bestfriend`s . now in his profile he said`s he likes someone new ! and i was hoping it was me , then today he IMed ME for a change . because usually i`m the one who has to IM him first , but twice today he IMed me 1st :] haha i just felt special . and he was like "we have a lot in common!" because we were both from kentucky! and i tried to flirt a lot so maybe he would flirt back . but on his hero`s on his myspace . i`m LAST on his list . & i think it goes in order because every time he get`s a new gf , she always ends up first , then when they break up , about 8th on the list . but anyways , to the point . my bestfriend [who went out with him before] told me he break`s a lot of girl`s hearts and hurt`s a lot of girl`s , like he did to her . so i dont knoww . and i don`t know if i should tell him i like him , or not or if he even like`s me , uhggg i don`t know what to do , he`s all i think about . can someone help me out ??! (link)
well it sounds like he is starting to be interested in you, but I wouldn't do anything about it yet. I would give him another day or so. Play hard to get a little, and see if he is still working to get your attention. Your best friend is looking out for you in telling you that he breaks peoples hearts but I wouldn't worry about it too much. It probably bothers her a little that her ex may be interested in you. But the way I see it is if a guy really is bad news, the only way for you to really understand it is if you go through it yourself. Just be careful not to let things get too serious before you know if he is serious about you. Good luck!


hey im 15/f
okay i had a dance yesterday. before thedance we all went to eat with me, my date and other people/ the dinner was really fun. cause i actually got to talk to me date and friends at the same time. and we talked alot. i dont know if i like my date or not but i mean i dont hate him or love him.. Anyways the dinner was fun. then we went to the dance, but the dance was pretty horrible.cause we all didnt do much and we just stood around lol. he just started jokingly grinding on me or just put his hands around me when we just stood.
so sicne we got bored, we decided to go to this girls house named jennifer. it was her , her date, and 5 other people including me and my date. before we went to her house , we all started walking around on the roads and talking. idk. my date randomly put his arm around my friend kelly, but i was like oh well. cause it wasnt like big huggin or anything, and i was like what the heck. then i dont know.. then when i was walking with him and kelly, he moved over to the other side to walk with her.but maybe he didn't mean to do it, and maybe i was just thinking too much in my head. (sry i might sound like.. annoying and picky and shit. haha)

so thwen we got to jennifers house.. and she and her bf starte making out. and this other girl started making out with hers. me , my date, and my friend were laying on the bed. my date was laying next to kelly. and i was laying by her too. i know its not a big deal... but he started putting her arms around her and iwas just there being all what the hell. later he said that he wanted 2 girls by him so i went to the other side by him. then when i told him to scoot over cause i was falling, he told me to lay on him so i wouldnt fall. then he put his arms around me.

then kelly's mom decided to take me and my date home. kelly was in the car too. i was laying on date then he put his arms on my head. then when i left he hugged me goodbye.

i dontk now. its kind of confusing... but do you think my date liked kelly? or was he just being friendly? cause it was kind of annoying. cause i know him more and my friend just met him,. i dont like him in THAT way, buti ts still annoying when your date just starts to hug your friend randomly. but him being all friendly to hermade me like him more. :D but its still .. yeah all fuzzy in my head.


Thanks :D

I think he likes you but he's keeping his options open. that's a guy for ya. It's like you were the best before he met Kelly, but now that he's met her, he has to rule her out before he keeps thinking of you as the best. know what I mean? he's just making sure he's not going to miss out on anything else. I wouldn't worry with it too much. If he just met her, then that probably means he doesn't see her very often. But he'll probably see you more. But the way he acted with you, it's obvious he's really into you.


Okay,so I am turning 14 in liek 2 days.
and i kinda want to get a little job. for some extra cash. I dont want to have to keep asking my dad for money. During the summer i worked in a resturant.
But I dont really want to do somethign like that.
I just want somethign small to get me some cashh.
does anyone hava any ideas ?? (link)
just an idea. i'm not sure if it would be helpful or not, depending on where you live and what places you have, but there is a produce store close by to where I live that I had the opportunity to work at for a short time to make a little extra money putting together fruit baskets. It sounds a little boring but if you're wanting to do something different. Also if you know anyone that works in an officelike setting, they might need a little help with filing papers or computer entry stuff too that isn't too difficult but no one else has time to do.


when girls wear a perfume?
and what perfume is the best to turn a guy on? (link)
yes...most of them anyway. A good one that I found that guys really seem to like is one called Nollie from PacSun. I love the smell of it and it isn't very expensive compared to most perfumes!


I am dating this guy and we really love each other and we're both 13 and his mom gave him 2 condoms that she got for him and has aloud to make out on the couch and stuff...we've talked about sex and stuff and we both this we're ready but I dunno how its supossed to happen ? Any tips,comments to suggestions ? (link)
well you probably don't want to hear this, but you aren't ready for that. trust me. I'm 20 years old and have been active, but i still don't think i'm ready. Sex is meant to be special with someone that you really love. and i know you don't want to hear this, but love when you are 13 is so much different than when you get older. trust me. things change and you grow up and believe me you will live to regret it. i sure do.


My name is Jessica and I am 15 years old. Theres this guy and we were best friends since like the middle of last year. Then, over the summer, someone told me he liked me and i liked him too so i decided to tell him...and he didnt exactly say it back but he practically hinted it and he gives me so many signs that he likes me. But this year, he leaves me to go mess with all these other girls,but even after he leaves me, no matter what happens or whatever girl he messes with...he comes back to me and only me, and sadly..i take him back. And he recently started going out with this other girl and he constantly rubs her in my face and talks about her infront of me now...i guess to make me jealous, and he hardly talks to me anymore but he occasionally sends me text messages asking about my love life
which is kinda strange considering we have such a vague friendship now. About 4 months ago, before he started going out with that girl, he asked me out...but i thought he was just kidding so i was joking around with him like "shutup stop playing with me"...although it appears as though he was serious because after that he got mad at me and didnt talk to me for a month. It seems he always tries to avoid me or let me go, i guess cause hes afraid of getting too attached to me, but we
have the same friends so we often end up hangin around eachother. His girlfriend has been trying to get extra close with me lately, which is a bit weird, and he gets mad whenever I'm around her. When he is not with his girlfriend, he is always trying to talk to me more than anyone else and he gets pretty touchy. I always catch him looking at me and he always tries to get my attention.
I still really like him and i don't know why...because i cant think of anything i like about him and hes not even my type, and i'm not his either. I guess opposites attract though. But anyhow, i kinda feel like its my fault we're like this now because I rejected him when he asked me out...even though i didnt know he was serious. He told me he was afraid of rejection so maybe that hurt him. Anyway, i know he's taken and all, but does he like me or not? its really bothering me. (link)
It sounds to me like he really likes you, but he isn't ready to be with you yet. He is still young and enjoys knowing that he can mess around with all these other girls and still have you to fall back on. If you really want him to quit messing around and stick with you, make him realize that it's on your time, not his. he thinks that whenever he gets the urge to be with you again, that he can just run to you and you'll take him back. That's why he plays around so much. Show him who is boss. He'll straighten up when he knows that he can't have you when he wants you.
