I am having trouble making friends, so i invited someone over for later this week. the problem is my house is pretty boring and i dont know what we should do. i dont want to come off boring and lose the possibility of friendship. what should i do? (link)
| |
Well what should do an hour before they come is make sure everything is clean. Then put on a good movie, but not TOO intresting of a movie cause them they might just want to watch the movie the whole time and your suppose to be get to know each other. Also have some nice little snacks on the coffee table while the REAL food is cooking. :^) Some questions to ask is like 'what shows do you watch, what movies do you like, what bands do LOVE, what are your favorite video games' if you have a game system 'like PS2, Wii, xbox' ask 'em if they like video games. If they do, then ask them if they want to play. While your eating, talk some, but not too much unless your BOTH huge talkers. Make sure to tell her that you want to have her over again. Make sure to see how she responds to that. If she seems like she wants to come over again then thats great. But don't be discouraged if she doesn't seem to like you. Just branch out to new people, people that you make have over looked. Don't worry you WILL make friends. :^)

So, I live in NY and I have an interview for a summer job soon. I have NEVER been on any kind of interview, and I am SOOO the nervous type. What should i be prepared for? What are the do's and dont's? All kinds of tips are appreciated! And if it helps, the job I'm applying to is for a summer camp daycare type thing for toddlers. Thanks in advance!

Ok well first of all, DON'T be flirty. It will seem unprofreesional and thats an quick turn off. Make sure you dress professional (button blouse, slacks, nice shoes). Also call your employer Mr or Ms. (or Mrs.) to show respect unless they tell you that you can call them by their first name. When your being interviewed, don't talk about your personal life. Just answer their questions without too much detail and seem confident like your ready for the job and that you CAN do it. If you know you did something stupid, then just apoligize and try to forget about it. Your interviewer knows your nervious. Oh and also seem happy. I mean this is a daycare your applying for. Seem like you would make it a fun time for the little ones! :^) I hope this helps at all. Your interview will go great!

I'm a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding in two days. The rehearsal and rehearsal dinner are tomorrow but I have absolutely no idea what to wear. I probably should have thought about this earlier but it didn't even come to mind until today.
I don't think it's going to be very formal, the wedding itself I'd say its just like sunday best not really like glamorous wear or anything. Then again I didn't ask anything about the rehearsal. The rehearsal is at the church where the ceremony and reception are being held at and for the dinner we're all going back to my cousins regular church and they're making spaghetti. Not a formal thing at all, at least that's what I'd guess?
The major problem is I don't really have any dressy clothes. I used to have these nice black pants that were good for like a job interview or something, but I lent them to my friend and never saw them again. The closest thing I have to black pants now is yoga pants, which....idk that's probably not gonna work. I don't have khaki pants or long enough skirts either, because I thought of that too. I have a few like semi nice tops, but they're really more like "nice casual"...if that makes sense. And I have really dark wash jeans that I was thinking I could try to dress up. Is that too informal tho?
I really dont want to buy something but I have no idea what to wear. Please respond asap its tomorrow! Thanks!

I suggest you don't wear any pants of any kind! Okay, heres what you do: Go out to a store that you know well and that has a resonable price on clothes. Buy a cute, nice dress that is no shorter that knee-high. It would be good if it was a bright solid color or a nice calm pattern. Let me describe a good dress for a nice dinner: White sleevless dress with a nice calm pattern thats a nice color (like blue, light green, or purple). The lenghth is mid shin. Couldb be spaghetti staps if you like. For shoes i suggest payless because they have cute shoes with small heels that are real nice colors. I hope this helps you!

Has anyone else noticed that questions are the same? I mean I love this site, but latly i've been getting bored because every question is the same!! It bothers me. Like 13 year olds talking about boyfriends, friends, and sex. It's like how difficult is your life at 13?! Anyone else feel the same? ANd how can i make this site more interesting for me? (link)
| |
You may be suprised how difficult a 13 year olds life may be. It may seem dumb to us but to them its a crisis andwe should respect that. If you don;t want to answer the same 'ol boyfriends, friends and sex questions by 13 year olds than just go to the blue colum on the left of the screen and under the heading 'Give Advice' click on Search Questions. There you can choose the ages of the people you want to give advice to, the genders and you can choose which topic to look under.

Lately my life has been not at it's high point. I feel like I cant achieve anything! It seems like I can't do a thing...I really dont know what to do for life and how to boost my self esteem...help please?? (link)
| |
I'm so sorry that you feel this way! Its not a good feeling. But just remember that you don't have be an expert at something in order to acheive something. What you have to do is ask yourself, 'What things am i good at?'. Think about even the things that seem little to you. Can you draw? You could become an artist! Are you a good reader? You can be a narrorater! Do you like pets? You can be a groomer or a vet! I mean there are SO many things for you to o. But they aren't just gonna walk up to you. You have to go find them. Try to find a good hobbie that you think you might enjoy! Don't give up hope! :^D

so i really want my nose pierced but i doubt my mom will let me ..
do you know any way i can force my mom to let me??
if not how can i hide it from my mom?? (link)
| |
Well it wouldn't be good to hide it from your mom because life has taught us that the truth ALWAYS comes out. So i say don't do that. Calmly say 'Remember when you said i couldnt get a nose ring?' BE CARFUL! Moms already getting tense. Jut say 'I'm not asking you to change you mind, i just want to know why you don't want me to get a nose ring'. Make sure to also tell her your resons for wanting a nose piercing. If you remain alm, even when shes not, then she just MIGHT say yes! BUT, dont be suprised if she says no. If you show her that you will obey and respect her answer, then she just ay let you do something else you really want to do.

I was having a heart to heart talk with my mom last night and she mentioned that maybe I should go to a psychiatrist. At first I thought she was joking, and then I realized that she was serious. I was (well still am) really hurt and shocked. I don't think I have a problem at all, and my mom really isn't one to go to psychiatrists which is why I'm so hurt because my mom thinks I'm so messed up that I need professional help.
I'm very upset, I don't think I have any problems, and I think that there are a couple people in this family that need help way more than I do. I just feel attacked and sort ostracized by my own mother right now.
I just need a pep talk or just any feedback would be nice. Thank you.
17/F (But I'll be 18 in less than two weeks, so I doubt my mom will be able to make an appointment before then because I am NOT going, and at 18 I can legally make my own choices.) (link)
| |
Well forst of all i'm sorry your feeling hurt. I have to say that your mother doesn't think your crazy, but maybe she sees something in you that you don't see, like maybe she thonks your depressed or something. What you need to do i calmly confrount your mother and ask her why she feels you should go to a psychiatrist. If you hear what your mom as to say then you may see what she sees too. Hope i helped you. :^)

I just recently got a boyfriend, and it's been about a month. I'm pretty close with my parents and I want to tell them but I don't really know the right way to bring it up. Every time I think about it it seems pretty awkward. Any advice?! (link)
| |
You may think this sound kinda corny but your parents have a right to know. If you have dated before and they were cool with it, then really all you have to do is tell them when their in a good mood. Just let them know in a cool, calm, manor. :^)
|
my ex and i were dating for four months and he hinted at wanting to break up so i did it for him then a month went by and he had hooked up with another person and i started dating a new guy.. but the called me and we talked and he told me that he loved me.. which on his part is HUGE.
so we waited awhile and i broke up with the guy i had been dating.
when my ex and i started dating he told me how much he loved me and never wanted to loose me and that i made him so happy.
blah blah blah.
so then he starts acting weird and i know him well enough to know when he's going to break up with me so we talked and he texted me telling me how much he loved me and that he wasnt ready for a relationship... we dated for two weeks..
its been a month almost and nothing is getting easier.
we go to the same school so i see him every single day. and my friends and family told me to act like i didnt know him to make it easier.. while he is telling me to talk to him and he doesnt exactly understand why i dont talk to him..
i cant decide what to do..
anything would help
please and thank you. (link)
| |
You are just gonna have to forget about him. The fact that he said he loved you AFTER you were in another relationship tells me that HE wants to see other people but he doesn't want YOU to see other people. Next time he asks you why your not talking to him that you just don't want to be in a relationship with him. If he keeps bugging you then you have to FIRMLY tell him that its over. DO NOT hold back. I hope things get better.

I have been dating my boyfriend for 6 years, however after our 3rd year we kinda aparted because he was talking to another girl but inspite of it i gave us a chance and have been trying to work with him, our relation have been inconsistent since then we don't talk for months and then we talk again and end up fighting because he suspects me of dating other guys when we don't talk. He refuses to hear or consider anything I have to say against his allegation on me, he is on denial.I have very strong feelings with this person and I don't know how else to fight for us or on is it even worth it based on history of its existence? .Any advice/input would be appreciated!
Thanks (link)
|
He definetly has trust issues if he thinks that your taling to other guys when your not talking to him. He probably just thinks that since he was talking to another girl behind your back that you will talk to another guy behind his back. He thinks that if he did it, you will too. What he did is wrong and him not trusting you is wrong too. He seems to me like the type of person thats gets mad everytime you talk to a guy that isn't him ad that could be dangerous. In my opinion you should break up. If he keeps saying your dating guys behind his back then he could become obsessed with you. I know it sounds weird but its just a thought. Hope i helped.

What does it mean when someone responds to something you say by saying, "Word."?
(link)
| |
I basiclly just means 'I agree'.

lose 20-40 pounds starting this week, and end up like that on the week of may 27 [or earlier/later]
and how would i go about doing this.
PLEASE HELP (link)
| |
Your goal is definetly possible. I have to lse weight too. My dad lost over 100 pounds in a year by doing this one thing: not eating after 8pm. BUT the reason it took hims so long is because he didn't exercise. So my advice is to not eat ANY food after 8pm and to make yourself an exercise plan that wotks for you. But most important, you have to have the right mind set. Tell yourselfyou KNOW you can do it. Also, be patient. It may take you some time to see results but if you work hard you will! I hope this helps. :^)

there is this girl who cant wear jeans because of her religion. what is this religion called? (link)
| |
Hi.Um well i'm a Jehovah Witness and i have to say that me and my friends wear jeans ALL the time. My parents wear jeans all the time too. So i don't think she is a Jehovah Wittness. Before i was doing all my schoolwork at home, i went to school with this girl who she ALWAYS wore skirts. I'm mean ALL THE TIME! Never failed. Anyway so i asked her friend why she never wore pants. Her freind said that it was her religion and that since in bible times people never wore psnts, women wern't suppose to wear any kind of pants.Now i'm sorry i don't knwo what this religion is but i'm sure you can find the name online. Hope my bit of info helped some!

i stink at cooking. how do i not stink??? (link)
| |
You know, what a lot of people don't realize is that you don't have to use the stove to actualy cook. Cooking is basicly preparing edible food. So first you have to tell yourself 'I don't have to use the stove everytime to make an edible meal.' All you need to know is the basics. When your learing to cook, i suggest not trying to experiment with food that your feeding other people, atleast not until you know the basics. Simple list of foods you can make are ceral, sandwiches, salad, and then some bakedchicken. With salads all you really need is lettace (anykind will do Iceberg, Romaine, Red Leaf, etc.), dressing (anykind will do Ranch, bluecheese, even olive oil, etc) little choped carrots, and croutons. Chop lettace then mix lettace and carrots. Then drizze dressing. Mix it a bit then addd croutans. There you have it, a simple salad! I hope that helps you!

im moving in to my boyfriend's apartment and its deffinately a bachelor pad. his parents own the building so we can do whatever we want to it but let me describe the current condition. white walls, old furniture, stained industrial carpet. the bathroom has a hole in the wall from when he punched it after getting mad at his ex. it has a bedroom but its tiny. his bed is actually two twin beds pushed together and with the beds and the dresser in the room we have about 2 feet on one side to get into bed. he used to sleep on the couch because his brother lived with him too but now he just moved out.
basically, the place needs help and i dont know where to start. he trusts my decorating ideas because he knows i wouldn't paint the walls pink and put up pictures of flowers. i actually like masculine designs.
ok so this is what we need.
-style
-space saving
-storage
-durability (we're party people) (link)
|
okay. Well first things first, fix the hole in the wall. if you just leave it there, it will probably get worse. if your intrested in painting the walls, i suggest painting one wall in the living room (or where ever your guests usually are).A color i would suggest is a green color. The reason i say green is because i read in a magazine that it is an energizing color. So i think that would be a good color since you guys are party people.
If he likes masculine things and you like masculine things then thats great! Most couples can't agree on home decor. My suggestion is to, together, think of a theme for your living area and kitchen. Set a day to go shopping for decorations that suit your themes. A place i suggest going is IKEA. It has some pricey items but also fair priced things. Another place i suggest is Walmart. They have a great selection on home decor, especially for the kitchen.
Now about the bed. If you both plan on shairng a bed and your comfortable with two twins pushed together, then i say if you want to keep them, keep them. If not get a double bed that suits your taste.
I hope my ideas help. Thanks for reading!
