I go out alot and when I do I tend to hook up with guy friends or friends of friends, casually. I've realized that I have never not felt bad or guilty at some point about any of my hook ups.
I may not feel bad about all of them now but I've definetly felt bad at somepoint. I even feel bad about hook ups I've had with boyfriends.
I don't know what to do about this.I don't feel slutty, because I know I'm not, but I do feel badly.
Should I stop hooking up with people? Try as I might that's never too easy for me. What do I do? (link)
Hmmm.... I'm pretty green myself, so I don't really know what that type of guilt feels like, but I do know what guilt itself is like. I'm sorry about the regret you may have, and although it may be hard, I think you should try to cut back on the amount of hook-ups you have. You may not be able to do it all at once, but the less you do it, the better. Soon you might even be able to have only sexual sort of relationships with just long-term boyfriends! Don't limit yourself from having a good time though. Keep partyin hard, just try not to give in to those types of people!! xox


i wanted so badly to look good in my bikini this summer so i did lots of sit-ups, i ran alot, and i ate healthy. but now, i realizd my bone structure is really big.. so it kind of makes me look fat. like my theighs are really wide. can someone give me some tips on slimming them down??
(link)
Bone structure is hard to change, but eating a lot of potassium, (in bananas) lowers the calcium absorption which may help in closing down the bone range. Otherwise, running most likely made your thighs bigger. (I'm a runner, and it adds a lot of muscle... it makes them a LOT wider than I thought too.) Try walking long distance a lot instead; it evens out the muscles in your legs by far, so you'll have great calves too!
Hope that helps


i want to go on a diet. every is like "no you are so skinny!" which is true, but i want to stay skinny! im not trying to loose weight, im trying to maintain it! so please help me out on ways to do that! (link)
woah we're almost like twins! jk, but yeah everyone's always telling me i need to gain weight, but i wanna stay skinny!! hmm... tips:

-- drink a lot of water to speed up your metabolism
-- go on long distance walks to maintain your small thighs and stomach
-- although it may seem weird, DON'T do too many crunches, or your small stomach may push out because of the ab muscle. (this happened to me because of track ab workouts)
-- eat many small meals throughout the day instead of three large ones

i hope that helps!


hey ok..thers this girl and shes my best friend well we just started being best friend and like she is always telling me i am her best friend and she doesnt tell people that often. but lately she hasnt been puting me in her profile and listing all these other girls under friends. like is she trying to not be my friend or something? because i asked her if she was mad and she is like no. and she asked why i asked and i said just wondering. but really if i tell her why i think that shell think im overreacting because this happened before with some other girl that wasnt really a bff but thought she was...like what should i do im so confused! please help and if your gonna be mean you get a one other than that 5 ratings! (link)
Hey! omg, I know EXACTLY what you mean! This girl decided to all of a sudden start calling me her best friend, but she'd have all these cute profiles with lists of "bff: _____blahblahblah" and then not list me! So I asked her that one day, and I think she put on like an act and was like, "No of course I'm not mad at you!" I don't really know how to help, but all I can say is that try not to get too close to her! I know it must be really hard because I luved having one best friend, but just don't sound too desperate to her or she might think you're too clingy and not want to be your friend anymore. (as harsh as that may sound) Just hang out with other people, but when you're with her, be as fun as you can be and just make sure she knows you have other friends as well! xoxo hope i helped


so me and my boyfriend have been broken up for about amonth we talk sometimes i mean we are still friends and we do talk n all that but the reason we broke up was to giv ehim space n stuff n so thats what im tryign to do just kinda let hi mcome to me if he wants to talk uk.. well theres this other guy a year older than me totaly diff grade and he is in love with me he drives me anywheres i want to go but liek when i hang out with him its just not there all i can think of is my old boyfriend and dont wanna boyfriend for the summer unless its my old boyfriend but i dont think this new older boy gets it he just always wants to hang out and always be with me and ya sure ill hang out and hes a great guy hes like perfect everythign a girl would want n i wanna like him but something just wont let me and idk what it is.. HELLPPP (link)
Awww, hey sweetie! Hmmm, even though a guy may seem perfect, there's always gonna be the guy who's perfect for YOU. (sounds cliche, I must admit) But just hang in there, and tell the older guy exactly how you feel -- make sure he knows that you`re still trying to get over your old boyfriend and that you don`t really want a relationship right now. Let him know that you luv him as a brother though and you would really like hanging out with him a lot this summer!! Who knows, you might even get over your old boyfriend and start liking this guy! Just like whatever happens happen ; I hope it all works out for you!


I'm going to sleepaway camp in about a week and I really want to maybe get a boyfriend there because when you go to camp you practically start over and can be whoever you want to be without the pressures of school. I've never had a boyfriend and I was wondering how I should flirt at the socials/dances. Also, how do you let boys know you exist and you WANT a relationship? Some just want to be friends.

(link)
Heyy! I know exactly how you feel -- I luv getting a fresh new start where no one knows you yet!! Make sure that the SECOND you get there, you don't give off the impression of being reserved or anything. Don't keep to yourself, and immediately start saying hey to people! Relax, and make sure you talk to a lot of guys ASAP. Just go up to them, make eye contact, and start talking. I don't know what kind of camp it is, but dress cute, but not too showy! Amazingly enough, guys actually DON'T want sluts as girlfriends. Make sure you flirt a lot, smile, and just be outgoing! Don't be embarrassed to dance because guys luv girls who know how to have a good time. Hope ya have fun!!


My hair has been extra tangled lately. In the morning it takes 10 minutes to brush out my wet hair. Can anyone suggest some products to cure this problem. My first thought was Johnson & Johnson's No More Tangles shampoo, but isn't that for little kids? (link)
Neutrogena Deep Conditioner works well. Put it all over your hair in the shower. Then start washing your body with soap or whatever to allow the conditioner to sink in and start working. That should be enough time. Then, while you are washing out the conditioner, gently start combing your hair with a wide-toothed comb. When you get out of the shower, it should be less tangly.

Whats a good first day of skool outfight exspesicaly if your going to a new skool next year!? (link)
A cute skirt and top ensemble always works, but make sure to follow these guidelines.

1. Make sure the skirt is at least more than halfway between your knee and your thigh. Otherwise, guys may automatically label you as easy, and girls may start calling you a slut. (I know it's insane how judgmental it is, but it happens!)
2. The top must. must. MUST be cute! Try something lacy, sort of low-cut, but not too much. Go for bright colors that stand out and are attractive to the eye. Something that could be labelled as "candy-colored" always works.
3. Accesorize well. Wear a cute necklace that matches your skirt or top. Hearts are cute... Flip flops also work well with skirts. If you match it with your top, that would be very cute.
4. You could get your nails done the same color as your top if you really wanted to go for it.
5. Don`t forget about your hair! Curl it, crimp it, straighten it, whatever suits your style.

My sisters friend, I'll call her Kaitlyn, is only 12 years old and might have an eating disorder. She doesn't eat anything at all. Shes naturally skinny, but she won't eat anything. She'll put food in her mouth, then go to the bathroom and spit it out. Does that mean she might be anorexic?
Also she has a strange habit. She won't sleep. She stays up all night and then gets up at 5 in the morning, gets dressed, and then sit at the edge of her bed until 7:45. What is up with her??? (link)
My friend was anorexic, and these were the exact same symptoms she had. The reason she wakes up at five in the morning is because her body has changed in so many ways that it cannot find reason to sleep anymore. It is not consuming enough calories to function properly. Make sure even if it's hard that you inform her mom of her abnormal behavior. Maybe you could even try talking to Kaitlyn yourself because you never know what could happen. Have you talked to your sister about this yet? Maybe she would understand and talk to her first. Hope it all works out.


Hey, how do I uninstall yahoo messenger? I want to get rid of it. I have windows XP. please give me simple directions. (link)
Go to your Start Menu, click settings, and then control panel. Then go to Add/Remove programs. Click Yahoo Messenger, and click remove or uninstall.


Are there any ways to speed up my metabolism?
(link)
Drink a lot of cold fluids. This speeds up your metabolism because your body needs to bring the temperature back to normal, which also burns calories. Also, eat many small meals throughout the day rather than just three large ones. Regular cardiovascular exercise such as running, biking, walking, and swimming also speeds up your metabolism for a while.


How do you accentuate your eyes? How do you make your eyes look bigger, but with a natural, yet stunning and exotic kind of look? Any tips or sites would be appreciated, thanks. (link)
Have you seen the commercial for "Intensified Eyes" or something? The brand is Almay, and they have this new combined product which is suited for specifically colored eyes. Assuming you have brown for example, they have professionally designed colors that will accentuate the golden flecks in your eyes and also make them look larger. It looks natural because the colors are typically light and natural, instead of dark. You should try using that. If you can't find it, try wearing a clear coat of mascara, then curling your eyelashes while the mascara is still wet, then putting on another coat of black mascara. The curled eyelashes give the illusion that your eye is bigger. Well, hope it works!


ok this is deff a question for the girls. its kinda stupid but wutever.. lets say your period starts on the 1st day of the month and lasts till like the 6th. the next month wuld your period most likely come towards the 1st or the 6th? thnx in advance (link)
Your period will most likely come near the sixth. It's around 23-31 days, (depending on the person) after your last day with your period. lol, sry it's sort of vague, but it's different for everyone!


hey!
i'm asain and have like really dark brown hair..but i want to go a little bit lighter i was thinking like a copper or something...and i already have highlights..sooo...help plzzz...and one more thing my hair is always wavy or straight i want it to be curly not like those little curls everywhere but like the big curls..those look so cute..but i don't know how to do it..so if any one knows..HELP..lol (link)
Hey! Asian hair is soo pretty when it's curled. If you can, you can go get your hair done at some cheap place like the Beauty College or something. They'll put your hair in hot rollers for a little while, and then put you under the hairdrier. (You know, the thing that looks like a mushroom on your head? lol) If not, it may be hard to try to do that at home, but if you're good with hair, you can always try the hot rollers yourself. They sell them everywhere. (Walmart) My friend is Asian too, and she put in "dark blonde highlights", and it looked very cute, so you may went to tell your hairdresser that!


I need to lose a few pounds!!! Is there any way to lose about 5 or 6 pounds in a week or two? Health tips, Fitness tips, even Beauty tips... I need them all! Please help! Thanks

What do you eat now? If you take in a lot of junk food, you definitely need to cut down on that. Just keep telling yourself to stay determined no matter what, and you'll feel a lot better that you didn't pick up the bag of potato chips. If you drink a lot of soda right now, try eliminating that from your diet. If you absolutely can't, at least try reducing because there are absolutely no nutrients, just empty calories and sugar in a can of pop. Make sure you still eat though, because if you don't, your body will start eating up your muscle for fuel, and then you'll feel even more groggy than usual. Try eating about six or seven SMALLER meals instead of three large ones. This helps boost your metabolism. Also, drink a lot of water, and stay hydrated. Whenever you drink, make sure the fluid is cold because then your body has to work and get rid of a lot more calories in order to bring the fluid up to your normal body temperature. Exercise, even if it's hard. If you drive, park far away from the grocery store so you have to walk a little while. Try taking strolls around your neighborhood, or even riding your bike places. You'll feel a lot better about yourself. It may not be easy to lose five or six pounds in a short week, but you'll be a lot healthier and lose at least some weight if you follow these guidelines for a while.


my gf Sandy and I are close..in her point of veiw. I dont like Sandy at all. But Sandy REALLY likes me. People want me to kiss her..but i dont want to.I just want to be friends. Besides..my friend Jack likes Sandy i think..so Jack gets mad at me. and if i break up with Sandy people might get mad at me. But i really want to break up with Sandy. Its hard to break up with her to.. because we talk on the phone all day and stuff. I really dont like her. (link)
You most definitely should NOT kiss Sandy if you don't like her. I don't know if this would be your first kiss or not, but if it is, you will most likely regret it afterwards. Your first kiss should be special and shared with someone you truly love. And although it may be hard to hear, you should break up with her if you don't like her. Do it subtly though, and tell your friends that you don't want to lead her on. The longer you stay with her, the more she'll grow on you, and the more she'll like you. It's sweet that you care what she feels, but it's more important that you don't lie to her.


i feel like im the only person my age that doesnt have a boyfriend. im 14/f and it feels like everyone around me is together. because all year this year ive heard oh my gosh my boyfriend this and oh my gosh my boyfriend that and i was lookin' around and everyone was like holding hands and stuff. i have a few friends who dont have bf's and we feel like we are the only ones.... IT SUCKS! is there anyway i can get a guys attention or should i just wait. is this a thing that everyone is just trying out? ITS SO SCARY ITS ANNOYING! and any guy that likes me is a nerdy guy! its gross...
PLEASE HELP I RATE 5'S IF YOUR ADVICE IS GOOD!
thanks alot (link)
Aww sweetie, I PROMISE you are not the only one who hasn't had a boyfriend. I'm sixteen, and I've never had one. I'm not a nerd either, a lot of my friends are guys. Maybe they just think of you as the "friend-type." If you really feel like you want a boyfriend, you should start talking to the guys more and flirting a lot. I remember when I used to like guys, all me and my friends would do was just sit there and talk about them, but nothing would happen of course. You have to get out there and show them that you're confident in yourself and that you know what you want. Don't settle for the nerdy guys, but don't reject them harshly either. Believe it or not, guys watch your every move, and they're watching to see how you turn down the nerdy guy. If you're nice to them, then they'll think you more likely to be nice to them, even if you reject them. Hope that helps!
