Hi. I have been recently talking to this guy that i met of some dating website. hes really nice we have soo much in common and after a week or two we met up. hes good looking and has a charming personality. he tells me after meeting that he has fallen for me and that he loves me. I think that is way too quick really. but my thing is if someone loves youu like they say they do they would call you more often, but the thing is, he hardly calls me. and he insists that I come down to see him. he won't come down to my area. he lives in scarborough and me in brampton. so the first time we met, was half way sort of. I didnt mind it and i made it a point to him that next time we meet up he should come down to my area and he agreed, then he said 2 days ago. he wants to meet at the same place we met before.. I got upset and said you promised etc to come to my area and he kept telling me that its too far etc.. I said that to him...(via txt msg) neways to cut things short,it has been two days since iv heard from him.. and I sent him a txt msg today saying i havent heard from you in 2 days hope all is well, pls call me today and let me know when you wanna meet up and if you don't pls let me know that to.. i gave him two options. but my question to you is wat do you make out of that situation.. wats your thoughts and advice to me. id really appreciate it if you would get back to me. by the way i'm 26 and hes gonna be 27 in january.

thanks
-ss

Love can happen in just a couple of weeks, days even, take it from someone who met and fell in love with her husband within about 2 weeks, and 10 years later we are still married. However, if he really loved you as he is letting off, he would be calling you much more and putting an effort into seeing you. I also believe that a man should be more willing to make a trip rather than the woman, I don't mean to sound old fashion, it just seems more right to me, especially since he's already agreed to come up your way. Instead of texting him, try calling him and let him know your concerns. Tell him that you don't feel that he is very committed to this beginning relationship and that before you put any more effort into it, you need to know where he stands. Also, I wouldn't meet this guy in an unknown location, seeing that you did just meet. There are a lot of crazy people out there and woman in particular need to be careful. Good luck and take care.


what are stretch marks? (link)
Stretch marks are "scars" on your skin caused by the stretching that has occurred, usually during pregnancy weight gain and loss. There are creams that claim to help this, as far as I know, they don't work. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist if this is an issue for you.


if i go to a community college wat kind of classes do i take?
-like to make up my grades and then transfer?
-is it like two lost years?
-do i hav to wait two years or can i do it in one year?
-i really dont know anything about this (link)
People normally go to community college for two years to take the colege "basics". Then, they go to a four year University for another two years to get their B.A. Or, some people just go to community college to get their Associates Degree. It really depends on what you are looking for. Most community colleges offer great transfer programs (to allow you to transfer to a University). Your local school will gladly send you a brochure to explain the programs that they offer.


okay, im 13/f. i have a boyfriend. we have a really good relasionship except theres always this girl (shes actually one of my friends) who is veryy flirty acting with him. and she does this right in front of me. i know he doesnt mean to flirt back but he kinda does because i know hes not going to be mean to her. But when i see this happen i just want to cry because im always afraid hes gonna dump me for her! what should i do?
(link)
First, you need to tell your friend how you feel about her flirting with your boyfriend, even if it is innocent, let her know that it bothers you and makes you feel uncomfortable and if she is a real friend, she will stop. Next, tell your boyfriend the same, let him know that it makes you worried and that it would mean a lot to you if he stopped. If the both of them cannot respect you enough to stop flirting, or if you feel as though you cannot trust them, then there is no sense of being in a relationship with either one of them.


last month i had sex with this guy when i had my period. he cam inside me...well at least i think so. he layed on me a few minutes then got up and left. so i think he did. now i feel like in gonna throw up in the morning and sometimes during the day and nite. idk if i missed my period cuz i dont know when its suppost to come. i dont keep track. could i be pregante? please help me! (link)
First, let me start off by saying that you seem very young and should not be having unprotected sex with anyone, let alone a guy who just has sex with you and leaves. You are worth more than that. As you don't need to hear preaching, I'll just answer the question, yes, you can pregnant during your period. Many people debate over this subject, but as with everything else to do with women, everyone has a different body. It can be very confusing..some women can get pregnant right away while other women take years to get their internal clock set up. I will say that it is harder to get pregnant during your period, as the egg already dropped and your uterine wall started to shed (where the blood comes from). It is all a matter of where you were in your cycle. You really need to see a doctor, or at least get a pregnancy test. Please be careful, there are so many diseases out there to watch out for. Get some condoms and take care of yourself. Good luck.


I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. About a year ago I found that he had a profile set up on yahoo personals. I had a suspicion that he was messing around because he was always on his computer. I found out too much, chat rooms, web cams, women online, porn sites and profiles on sexually explicit finders sites. I still can't trust him, he said he stopped. I don't know what to do. (link)
Trust is everything!! If you find out that he was cheating, I would leave him (that's just me), however, he may have been just innocently looking at porn and other "cam" sites just for fun. Many women get bothered when there boyfriends look at porn, as they feel that they are looking elsewhere for pleasure, why not just look at you? However, it isn't always that simple. Looking at porn and similar material can just be a release for him, or something to help him pleasure himself. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that if he looks at porn, you must not be good enough, because that is just silly. It is human nature to look at beautiful things. But, as I said, if he was actually cheating, that is a different story.


i get little black dots after i shave my legss and it looks like i havent shaved them! its soo embarassing !!!!!!! (link)
Hey girl, try changing your shaving cream. I was using this cream and it would make my legs break out in a rash. Now, I use this organic kind and it's great. As for the black dots, it sounds as if you are talking about stubble? Once you start shaving on a daily basis, you ALWAYS have to shave on a daily basis. There is no breaking the vicious cycle. Make sure you get a good razor, like gilette or venus.


is it normal for my handwriting to change depending on what moods i am in? the reason i am asking is because my teacher recently gave me like 5 zeros because she said that hand writing wasn't mine...AND IT WAS ALL THE ASSIGNMENT! the questions were written in cursive and the answers in a loopy print....so what's the deal. i tried to tell her and i swore to her that i didn't cheat....i even tried to show here other work samples but she wouldn't have a look at them. what should i do? and do you think my handwrting is changing because of my mood? (link)
Your handwriting can change for a few reasons, mood being one of them. My writing changes quite frequently in the middle of the same work. I will mix cursive with print, slant sometimes and straight the next, the list goes on. If your teacher will not listen to you and look at your other work for proof, I would take the matter up with someone else, perhaps the principal. You are being unfairly treated. It is awful to be accused of cheating when you are not.


okay so i REALLY hate my haircut i got i used to have really long and SUPER cute hair and i got it cut off real short its up to my shoulders and i HATE it so much what are come things i can do you make it grow faster like what to hair how to put it up or daily basis thing or things to convience my mom for hair extentions (link)
I'm sorry you hate your hair, I'm sure it's not that bad. I wear my hair up in a clip every single day, as a result it grew down to my lower back. My sister previously worked in a hair salon and was taught that if you wear your hair up, or in a pony tail, it will grow. It is the result of the constant "pulling" action that occurs when you have it pulled back. Try sleeping at night with a pony tail. Don't waste your money on those "magical" shampoos because they don't work. In the meantime, maybe buy a cute head band or something to distract people/yourself from the hair-do. I don't know much about extensions. Good luck!


I don't know if this is in the right category but anyways. I'm 14/f and I'm bi but I'm not out yet. But my 90% of my friends are gay or bi. But anywhos, I don't wanna come out anytime soon because I'm just not comfortable enough to say I'm bi. But getting to the point. There's this girl...let's call her jane. Well, she's a grade level above me and I really like her. We basically met through our good friend who is gay. But that's not the point. I don't know if she's bi or not. It seems like she has a little interest in girls. But I'm not sure. She gave me an unexpected hug today saying I was great with theorchestra (and oh my, no one cares about the orchestra so that comment was a shocker)

I don't know. I really like her and wanna go out with her but I don't know if she's bi or if she's even interested. Maybe she's just friendly. But I need to know if she is bi or not and if she likes me and what not. I was thinking about making a fake screen name and asking her and telling her that a certain girl likes her..blah blah. Is that a good idea? I'm willing to talk online with anyone who gives me their screen name!! (link)
Being 14, I would first say to be careful who you date, girl or guy. Also, be sure you are not being influenced by your friends and that this is what you really want. That being said, I would just ask this girl if she is gay/bi or not. First, become her friend, which it sounds like you already did. You should be able and comfortable to ask your friends anything. If you are not comfortable asking her straight out (no pun intended) tell her you are doing a research/survey about the feelings of prejudicial feeling towards same sex couples (or something like that). See what she has to say. I wouldn't go with the screen name thing, because often people joke around on the computer and say things that they don't mean, especially while talking to a "stranger". If you find out that she is not interested, don't worry, as there are plenty of fish and fish-ettes in the sea;)


i need your help please read this.

ok so my friend was doing drugs and my mom and dad found out. so now they wont let me hang with her anymore. she doesnt do them anymore b/c her parents found out and she is now in rehab. so any advice to convince my parents to let me hang out with her is much appreciated. thanks in advance!!! (link)
Your parents are right to be concerned, as it is clear that when a friend does drugs, it is more likely that the other friend (you) may too. However, since you said that she has stopped and if she is serious about getting/staying clean, explain to your parents that you are trying to be there for a friend and help her through this time. I too had a friend on drugs and tried to be there for her, I was not successful, but that doesn't mean that you can't be. Voice your concerns with your parents and don't give them a reason not to trust you. Good luck.


so heres the thing.. when i date people . i dont see [ color ] i see personality & charm (link)
Okay, first of all, I agree with you about people being the same, and I feel it is natural to be with ANYONE you wish. For the people calling you a "nigger lover", that is just rude and disgusting. They obvious know how you feel about race and just to say something like that is disrespectful and demeaning to your feelings. I would have nothing to say to those people, as I would not care about their opinion or concerns. Now, if you have someone that is understanding and just has a real concern or question about your choices, without judging or labelling you, then I would explain to them that you enjoy being around all people and that color doesn't determine the character of people. Tell them that you feel strongly about your choices and that you see everyone as "Human" not White, Black, Spanish, etc.


I'm 13 and i habe b36 boobs.I'm 120lbs and everything and i don't have my period. I don't want it- but I just wanna know when i'm going to get it. My mom died when I was younger so i can't ask her (duh haha), and my aunt can't remember. Is there like a website or something where you can plug in information and like get back a certain date?

thankss (link)
No, there is no definite date when one will get their period. It can be hard these days to be a girl and not have it, as it seems that girls are getting it quicker and quicker. However, there is no rush, trust me. I was 14 when I got mine, other girls can be as old as 17 (more unlikely, but it has happened). Believe me, be happy with your boobs, and it should come in due time!


EVERYTIME i like a guy, flirt with a guy, a guy flirts with me, i get a chance with someone......

MY bestfriend goes after him. EVERYTIME!

she's a lot more "easy" & "pushy" with guys than i am and she'll do things like hook up with the guy i have a crush on at a party when i'm not there.

I HAVE confronted her about it and we fought for about a month....i found new friends.....BUT she's my favorite person to be around! i ALWAYS have a blast with her and we both laugh at everything. The problem is she's NOT loyal. i told her that. and she apologized...i gave her a second chance....We made up and she promised she would work on it. A year has gone by and NOTHING has gone wrong!

except for now....for about a month we have liked the same guy. the ONE weekend i go out of town....she hooks up with him!

she calls me and tells me omg he's so cute. we're so cute together.....but the thing is....................i "can't" get mad because......no one had a "label" on him! for the past week they've been texting and hanging out and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it makes me SO ANGRY!

if they ever break up.....i can't "go after him" because it's my bestfriends ex!


SHE RUINED IT FOR ME......

i keep saying.....whocares just find another guy....but it's HARD when you've been liking one and flirting with one for a month to just to move on while you watch your FRIEND WITH HIM!

I LIKE HIM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

and when i want to go out to lunch...i always call her and we go and laugh and have a blast......BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE
1)I'M SO PISSED AT HER
2)SHE'S ALWAYS WITH HIM NOW

so i go hangout with other friends....but they aren't the same


i'm STUCK (link)
It seems like this girl is not a true friend. In my opinion, if you don't have loyalty, you don't have anything. Although she has apologized and seemed to change for a while, it is obvious that she's still the same person. If she knew how much you liked this guy then she would/should have talked to you about it before going out with him. Even though you didn't have a "label" on him, she knew how you felt. Also, if she liked him, she didn't have to wait till you went out of town to be with him, she could have made that apparent while you were still there. Also, it seems as if she is throwing it in your face that she "got" him. My advice, find real friends.


I'm dating this guy named Brandon. He's everything I ever needed in a boyfriend. He puts me before himself and we play these cute games that only we would understand. We sit under the stars late at night and look for shapes in the clouds. The only problem is that I don't feel sexually attracted to him at all. Yes, I know that sex isn't everything. When I have a boyfriend, I'm usually doing whatever I can to be with them, or to cuddle with them, but with Brandon, I push him away sometimes. If that makes sense?

One of mine and Brandon's friends (I'll call him Chris) told Brandon a few days ago that me and him don't seem like we could be more than friends. Chris is like a brother to me, so he knows me very well. That got Brandon thinking, and he almost decided to break up with me. In a way, I wouldn't have cared because I kinda feel that all we'll ever be is just friends. But another part of me doesn't want to lose him because he's the best boyfriend I'll probably ever have. He chose not to break up with me because he's liked me for a long time (at least 3 years) and he doesn't want to throw it all away.

If we ended up breaking up, I'd still consider him one of my best friends, and I know he'd do the same.

What should I do? Stay with him, or break up with him? If I break up with him, how should I do it? (link)
If you are having such doubts and said yourself that you don't think that you'd care if you broke up, the answer should be obvious. Sex isn't everything, but if you love someone, and are in love with them it is a very important part of the relationship. You seem to love him, but not be in love with him. By staying with someone that you are not sexually attracted to, you are cheating yourself and him out of a magical experience between two people. Just beware that when people say thay will remain friends, that doesn't always happen.


my boyfriends birthday is coming up i want to get him somthing special that isnt very expecsive. he says he doesnt care what i get him as long as its from me so i want go him somthing special that he can keep forever. im low on cash so yeah, help me out please & thnx :] (link)
There are plenty of inexpensive gifts that come from the heart. You can write and frame him a poem, but him a Christmas ornament (maybe w/ sports on it), a book, comic or movie that he likes, a clothing item that he likes, or you could even do something for him that you wouldn't normally do. Maybe a back massage or a different sexual position. I'm sure he'd like that best!


I've been really worried because I want to wear a tampon when I get my period. So I tried putting one on before i got it and it didn't go in. Is it not suppose to go in when you don't have it.. or does it take practice? What i'm wondering is how am i gunna put it?


(link)
You should never try to wear a tampon when you don't have your period because there is no lubrication for it to go in. Also, it can get stuck and that could be an embarassing moment at the gyno! Note that some people can get very sick when wearing a tampon, i.e. fever and body aches. Use caution!
