My cousin, lets call her B, is the same age as me. Over the summer, I had a party and I invited her, friends of mine and even my ex, we'll call him D. They hit it off right away. About a week later, we all went bowling and my other cousin came up to me and asked if there was anything going on between B and D. I said no. So over the course of the night I saw them flirting, got upset and did not have a good night that night. That night D called me and asked me if anything was wrong and I told him everything about that night. Then the next day B called me and asked me if I would get upset if the two of them would hang out. I said yes at first, and then B said that D said "he would never date her cuz she wasnt his type" After that I said I dont mind at all- my mind was at ease. A couple days went by and B had a party at her house with only close friends of ours. I didn't spend the night cuz I had to work the next day. I found out D was spending the night at her house along with one other guy. I was upset about that.

My friends are upset at me for thinking anything was happening between B and D, but I think something was going on between them. They are both the very flirtatious type and she puts out more than me.

Was it wrong of me to get upset about my cousin hanging out with my ex? I mean, over the summer we were going to get back together but never did. I know how D acts when he likes a girl and he acted that way with B. So I asked my friend and he got upset at me.

Now I don't talk to any of them, my ex, cousin or the friend.

But anyways, should I have been upset about them hanging out?


im really sorry this is long... (link)
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD BE MAD, THAT IS YOUR EX BOYFRIEND AND ESPECIALLY IF U GUYS WERE PLANNING TO GET BACK TOGETHER. THAT IS YOUR COUSIN THAT IS LOW. FOR HER TO DO THAT, THAT IS DISGUSTING. I DONT KNOW IF I COULD EVER FORGIVE HER FOR THAT. THATS WRONG!!!!!DONT WORRY ABOUT IT BEING SO LONG ITS BETTER THAT WAY BECAUSE US ADVICE COLUMNISTS UNDERSTAND IT BETTER!!!BYE!!!
PS:IM SORRY THAT THAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU THATS MESSED UP!!!


theres this really cool guy that i met. i talk to him all the time and we talk for hours on end. i talk to him more then i talk to my boyfriend! my friend doesnt like my boy friend thou and i was talking to him the other day and he was like "y dont you dump him? you can do alot better" and then he said "and you can get a guy sooner then you think". he flirts with me alot. would you say he likes me? i dont really know if i like him thou. (link)
OF COURSE HE LIKES YOU GURL!! HERES THE THING THOUGH USUALLY WHEN A GUY TELLS A GURL SHE CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE PERSON YOUR WITH THEN THAT MEANS HE LIKES YOU AND ALSO IT MIGHT ALSO MEAN THAT HE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND THAT COULD HURT YOU OR THE RELATIONSHIP AND DOESNT WANT TO TELL YOU STRAIGHT OUT BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID YOU WONT BELEIVE HIM. SO YOU HAVE SOME THINKING TO DO.MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE THIS GUY YOU ARE TALKING TO SOUNDS REAL NICE!!!!

WELL THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE YOU JEALOUS.I THINK I CANT BE SURE BUT I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN GETTING ALOT OF ATTENTION AND MY( NOW EX-BEST FRIEND) IS NOT GETTING ANY AT ALL AND SHE IS MAD. SHE REJECTS ALOT OF CUTE NICE GUYS AND THEN THEY START TALKING TO ME AFTER A WHILE. THEY REALLY DO LIKE ME THOUGH AND THEY SAY HOW CAN I BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE LIKE HER. EVERYONE CALLS HER A HOE BECAUSE SHE CANT STAY WITH THE SAME GUY FOR MORE THAN A FEW DAYS. THEN SOMETIMES ON THE SAME DAY SHE STARTS GOING OUT WITH ANOTHER GUY SO SHE MOVES AROUND FORM GUY TO GUY ALL THE TIME AND I DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE SO THATS Y GUYS LIKE ME BETTER!!!!BUT AS FAR AS U GO THEN(IM SORRY) BUT U ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AND SHOW THEM YOU CAN BE NICER BUT DONT BE DESPERATE!!OKAY HOPE U FEEL BETTER!!!BYE!!


ok so my x-best friends ruined my life for the past couple months n now they wanna be friends again.. do i say yes n get hurt again or hold a grudge?? or neither... HELP!! (link)
YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST THEM REALLY I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING ONLY THEY ARE NOT ACTING LIKE THEY WANT TO BE MY FRIENDS AGAIN. WELL ONE OF THEM IS AND ONLY WE ITS ME AND HER. SO DONT TAKE THEM BECK IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE GONNA GET HURT AGAIN. THATS A LOAD OF CRAP REALLY IT IS AND IT MAKES ME MAD. JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE AND DONT BE FRIENDS WITH THEM AGAIN. THEY ARENT WORTH IT.


here it goes: i like this guy and i think he knows and 2 of my friends say that he likes me back... but theyre just guessing anyways i dont thin so.. anyways...he was talking to me on the internet for like 2 weeks constantly and then for some reason he just ignored me and wouldnt talk to me, but like in school hed look over sometimes and um then he came and sat by me when there were plenty of seats to sit down at.. and he chose to sit down next to me... im confused and i dont know whats goin on? any ideas (link)
WELL IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS GUY LIKES FLIRTING WITH YOU WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD START. MAYBE HE JUST NEEDS SOME TIME TO THINK IT ALL THROUGH, YOU SHOULD TRY TO CALL HIM AND TALK TO HIM OR IM HIM. THEN YOU NEED TO ASK HIM WHY HE HAS BEEN IGNORING YOU.SO JUST ASK HIM WHY HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS TO YOU AND DOES HE LIKE YOU BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT HE DOES. HOPE YOU GET YOUR MAN!!!!

Tosha (link)
DEAR TOSHA,
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT YOU NEED TO DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT TO YOU AND IF YOUR DAD DISOWNS YOU THEN I GUESS YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN AND YOU ARE PREGNANT WITH HIS BABY SO WHATS THE DIFFERENCE. OVIOUSLY THIS GUY REALLY LOVES YOU SO WHY NOT. YOUR DAD IS JUST LIKE MINE HE DONT LIKE ANY GUY THAT I GO OUT WITH. SO YOUR DAD JUST NEEDS TO GET USED TO IT AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE GROWING UP AND THERE IS NOT ONE THING HE CAN DO BOUT IT. SO IF HE DOESNT WANT TO BE THERE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW THEN HE IS NOT MUCH OF A FATHER ANYWAYS!!!!

(link)
WELL YOUR BOYFRIEND DEFINANTLY HAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH HER OR SOMETHING REALLY HAPPENED WITH THEM WHEN THEY WERE GOING OUT. SOMETHING THAT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE THE WHOLE WAY YOU LOOK AT HIM AND SHE KEEPS THREATINGYOUR GUYS RELATIONSHIP IF I WERE YOU THEN I WOULD GO TALK TO THAT BROD AND ASK HER WHATS UP WITH HER AND YOUR BOYFRIEND AND IF SHE GIVES YOU ANY TROUBLE PUNCH HER IN THE FACE AND KICK HER YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!

Hey MiSSc here,
I'm kinda bored with my hair. It's layered, brown, thick, and maybe 2 inches off my shoulder. What can I do to make it more like a celebrities hair but something fast and easy but looks good? Lately I've been wearing pulled up because I don't know what to do with it. I want it beautiful, full, but fast and easy to do. Any advice? (link)
WELL I HAVE THE SAME KIND OF HAIR AND WHAT I DO THAT LOOKS REALLY CUTE IS I PUT IT HALF UP AND HALF DOWN WITH A LITTLE STRIP OF HAIR ON THE LEFT SIDE HANGING DOWN. WHEN DOING YOUR HAIR LIKE THIS YOU HAVE TO USE A SOFT-BRISSTLED BRUSH OR ELSE IT WONT LOOK RIGHT. THEN YOU NEED TO USE GEL, MOUSSE, AND HAIR SPRAY. IT WILL TAKE YOU ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO HAVE FUN AND TELL ME HOW IT LOOKS TO YOU!!!


ok im not quite sure if i have an eating disorder or not, or if im in the first stages of it. My friends are constantly telling me how im too skinny and need to eat more, but my mom tells me its fine if i diet and w/e. i hate eating, especially around other people, and when i do eat then it makes me feel sick and fat. but sometimes i just go on these binges and eat a ton. is it normal, or could i be in the early stages of an eating disorder? (link)
NO THAT IS TOTALLY NORMAL. I KNOW MAYBE YOU ARE FEELING SELF-CONCIOUS ABOUT YOURSELF SO YOU DONT LIKE TO EAT IN FRONT OF ANYONE SO DONT IF YOU DONT WANT TO. BUT I AM THE SAME WAY AS YOU ARE NO DIFFERENCE.I PIG OUT AT HOME AND I NEVER EAT AT SCHOOL SO DONT WORRY ABOUT A THING YOU ARE FINE!!!


I broke up with my ex boyfriend because i had been hearing stuff like that he was all over other girls. But then when i broke up with him he cried infront of all of his friends and everything. I still love him a lot and want to be with him but we've gone out 5 times and i just dont know if this time he means it. He's also my best friend and he told me that he loved me and would do anything to get me back! So what should i do.. go back out with him, stay broken up or just take a break? (link)
WELL I THINK THAT IF HE CRIED IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS THATS A HUGE DEAL AND THAT HAS GOTTA MEAN SOMETHING. OBVIOUSLY YOU MEAN ALOT TO HIM AND HE SAYS HE REALLY LOVES YOU AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET YOU BACK. IF YOU WANT YOU SHOULD ASK HIM TO PROVE IT OR JUST TELL HIM THAT YOU WILL GO BACK OUT WITH HIM ON ONE CONDITION. ITS OKAY TO HAVE GURL FRIENDS BUT DONT HANG ALL OVER THEM AND TELL HIM THAT THIS IS HIS LAST CHANCE!!!!


My Best Firend went out with this kid for 2 years! they broke up this summer! The kid now is like im love with me and has really strong feelings for me! My BFF tells me to go out with him and everything. She has a new boyfriend and says it will not runin anything between us and we will still be bff but i dono HELPPP!

**I have feelings for him** (link)
Of course you should go out with him if you have feelings for him and he has feelings for you and your best friend no longer has feelings for him and is telling you to go out with him then of course GO OUT WITH HIM!!!!Just dont always talk about him and dont let him get away with talking crap about your best friend( cause we all know how ex-boyfriends can be) and everything will turn out to be as planned. Hope you have fun with(hopefully) your new Boyfriend. The choice is urs gurl just be sure to make the right desicion.XOXOXOXOX


me and my bfs relationship is not very well right now...we jsut got into a small fight a week ago and made up but we havent seen eachother for a week...we always see eachother every other day....and its mostly his fault....idk...im really pissed....he is @ the mall right by my house right now....and he called from his older brothers cell and sed if i wanted 2 meet up there with him i said ya but i had no ride and i didnt wanna walk and *he coulda offered to come swing by my house n pick me up* and then he was like well my older bro is about to leave so i wont ahv a fone but my friend is comin so ill call u back frmo his phone n see wat he wants to do (like if they wer just gonna come over) and he sed hed call me bak...and HE HASNT its been over an hour....HE ALWAYS DOES THIS....whenever we make plans THEY NEVER HAPPEN....how can i talk to hmi bout this i dont wanna break up with him i really love hmi (we been together for 11 months)...but lately hes been pissin me off....wat do i say??=[ (link)
Maybe you should talk to him and just tell him and if he acts like he dont care about your feelings then you need to just tell him like it is. Maybe if you start doing the same thing he will realize that you both need to spend more time with eachother and will start calling you back when he says he will. Hope it all works out for you!!!!


ok i like this boy and i have an idea that hes knw that i like him just by the way he acts around me i mean we flirt like all the time at skool everytime we see each other but my problem is .. he has a G/F he told me just a couple of dayz ago he was breakin up wit her for me... and that same afternoon my whole crew was talkin bout the arguement between him and his G/F not trying to b mean i was kinda happy about that lol newayz when i was leaving skool that day he pulled me to the side and got down on his knees and told me he loved me (which we've known each other for like ever) i kinda brush'd him off .. so then after the bell rings we talk some more but now were on a break for 5 dayz and today i started to think bout him and it brought tears to my eyez girls ur advice shud i tell him i love him or up my flirting game????** (link)
You should do both then it will be just like any other day when you guys flirt.Then just see what he says.He is going to be very happy and so just becareful because if you dont want him flirting with other girlz while you are going out with him you had better tell him that!!!


I have been dating my current boyfriend for one year this coming month. We are constantly talking about marriage, but we are light in the pocket book. I don't make a ton, and he has about $12,000 in debt. Not to mention that his idiot sister talked him into buying a new car that he couldn't begin to afford so tack $25,000 on to that. I am trying to scrimp like crazy.

We have dated off and on for many years, and I want to be with him no matter about the money thing. He isn't used to saving money; he has been spending for a long time. He is trying very hard to stay on a budget. And I am very proud of him. I have squirreled away a small amount o cash but less than 6 months salary. I have no outstanding debts. What more can I do to save money and still continue to be healthy?
(link)
YOU NEED TO START SITTING DOWN AND MAKING A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE PAYED AND THEN START TO PUT AWAY MONEY COMING IN AND THE MONEY YOU HAVE FOR THOSE CERTAIN BILLS. THEN YOU NEED TO SPEND YOUR MONEY MORE WISELY. JUST WORK TOGETHER WITHG ALOT OF COMMUNICATION.


Ok, I'm a Freshman girl and I am 14.
I have been dating my boyfriend for about 1 month and a week. (He asked me out) We were getting along great at first, but it seems like the relationship is going down. Well not bad. We have gone to the movies 3 times and we flirted heavily while watching it. We made out I think 2 or 3 times and it had always been perfect and he says I'm really good. He usually hangs out with me after school, we have fun flirting and getting pictures with my camera. One thing that annoys me is that a few times he mentions who is Ex girlfriends were and it seems like he has had like 500! One girl he went out with is like the biggest slut in the whole school. Another thing is he keeps joking around that we should have sex, but it is funny though because I joke and say, "Ok." . A day or so ago he said he said, "It is over." But then he told me he was joking. It freaked me out because I thought he was really going to dump me.
Today my guy friend told me that my boyfriend is pissed off because I act too immature. Well I kinda fingured that. I'm crazy! I run around and jump all over my friends, I scream like an idiot, and I wear pink a lot and my friend told me I look like a 3rd grader. But after school we had fun and flirted for a while. But I think he might want to dump me because 2 of my guy friends were joking around and telling him that they would take my away and they told me he said, "Go ahead. Take her." I'm not sure if he was joking though. I think he was. I don't want him to dump me though because I like him so much.
Do you think this guy really likes me? How do I act more mature? Do you think it sounds like he wants to dump me?
Please help... I want to keep our relationship going. Thanks ^_^ (link)
WELL HONEY THIS GUY DOESNT SEEM REALLY WORTH IT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THERE IS ONLY ONE THING HE WANTS AND WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THAT IS. IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR IT THEN DONT DO IT. YOU DONT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING NOW. YOU STILL HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO GO. PLUS EVEN IF YOU SO SLEEP WITH HIM HE IS GONNA DUMP YOU AND SPREAD ALL THESE HOERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT YOU BECAUSE THATS THE WAY GUYS ARE. WE ALL KNOW THAT WE JUST WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THE GUY REALLY CARES ABOUT US BUT REALLY THEY ARE JUST BEING DIRTY ROTTEN SCUM.ITS OKAY HONEY IM HERE FOR YOU BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE PLAYED IF THATS THE CASE.


k..my friend is out of town right now and i like her boyfriend..the other day we madeout in his truck when he drove me home..and we've been hanging out a lot since she left for thanksgiving..i feel really guilty but i just cant get him off of my mind..i like him way too much..and i dunno what to do!..i swear im gunna end up going crazy..what should i do?? (link)
YOU NEED TO TELL HIM THAT UNLESS HE IS GUNNA BREAK UP WITH YOUR FRIEND THEN THERE CANT BE ANYTHING BETWEEN YOU GUYS. YOU CANT KEEP GOING BEHIND YOUR FRIENDS BACK AND DOING THAT TO HER. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GO OUT WITH HIM IS IOF HE IS SINGLE. BUT HOWEVER KEEP THIS IN MIND, IF HE DID THAT TO YOUR FRIEND THEN CHANCES ARE HE WILL PROBABLY DO THAT TO YOU TOO!
