Well, I have a boyfriend. We have been dating for about a year now. And he's moving away August 12th.
Just recently, I met one of his best friends. And I guess it's pretty safe to say that I have feelings for him. And now I"m at the point where I'm a little confused.
Help please!
A.K.
Ask yourself two things. Who do you think you like more and can you handle a long distance relationship? If the answer to your questions is your boyfriend and yes, stay with him. if not, its time to take a break and maybe try your relationship later.

Here's the thing. I have a HUGE crush on this guy at my school. We flirt, but then again, he IS the flirtatious type. I don't know if he likes me or not. Even more, I don't know if I'd wanna go out if he does. I know I like him, but I like the way things are right now. He asked me if I would go out with anyone in my class, who would it be? Obviously hint. (He smiled and winked as he said this.)
Oh, another thing, I've been receiving some notes in my locker. I got five. The first one on my birthday, second one saying, "C U at the dance", the third one for Valentines day, the forth one wishing me a good spring break, and the last one asking me out (April Fools, it's stupid). But they are all anonymous. Sigh... I'm hoping it's from my crush but I'm not sure.
Does he like me? It seems obvious enough but he's always so silly.
And about the notes in my locker, I wanna know how to find out who it's from, if it's not too much to ask.
I say you play some game like truth or dare or 20 questions and ask him who he likes. There is no way to know for sure unless you ask.
edit-He might. you could also ask a friend to find out. Maybe he is shy, so make the first move and see how he responds. Maybe ask him on a double or group date.

hi i am 15 female and am going to puerto rico next week, where the sun is very strong. poeple tell me its healthy to go tanning at a salon just a couple times before you go to a tropical place so you dont get burnt. is this true ? please let me know!
A base tan is a myth. This is very untrue. You will still get burnt and have skin damage. Just use sunscreen and hats.

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend Mark for almost four years now. He just turned thirty and I am 21 so this age difference could very well be part of the problem. We started off long distance, but when I started college I was only a 45 min drive from him. At the end of my freshman year we got an apartment together and still live together. The problem is I was a smoker when we started dating, and he knew this. I was also aware that he hated smoking and told him that I would quit someday. He has a valid reason for hating smoking, He wears a hearing aid and has been told that his hearing problem was caused by his mother smoking while she was pregnant. I have tried to quit several times and we have had several arguments over the topic. Each time I say I'm going to quit but it never works cuz I always lose my motivation. We broke up for two months over it, but neither one of us ever moved out of our apartment so it was really arkward. I had been quit for about a month when he decided to end it, he said that he was still hurt because it took me so long to do it. We eventually got back together but decided to go to counseling. Unfortunately, the week before this happened I had smoked again for the first time in months. In therapy I agreed to quit smoking, and he agreed to trust me that I would quit and to but the past behind him. THe problem was I slipped up and had ONE cig at work. I came home and kissed him and he noticed. He is very angry and is considering ending the relationship over it! he says that I cant care about him if i continue to smoke, but he doesnt understand that its an addiction. He is refusing to discuss the situation until we can get back into counseling but our appointment isn't for another week and I'm going nuts! What should I do? I dont want this relationship to end because things were going very well for a long time until recently. I should not have smoked but I was so stressed and did not think I could function if I did not have something to calm me down. Is there anything I can do to help the situation at this point?
Quit smoking. For real. and actually try. every time you pick up a cigarette think its this or the love of my life. Try the patches, gum, whatever it takes and let him know its hard but you are really trying because you love him and want your relationship to work.

I've noticed over the past year or so that I have been having a serious perspiration problem. I sweat when I get nervous (or over heated, of course) and even just a little seems to leave unsightly "pit-stains" and give me sweaty smelly feet. I have tried using Secret Clinical Strength and odor eaters foot spray but all they do is mask the odor. I'm still just as wet when I use these products. The problem is that it's a vicious cycle because thinking that I have sweat stains on my clothes or that I smell bad makes me nervous about my appearance which makes me sweat more. Thanks for your help!
Go to a doctor and get prescription medication and deoderant. bring changes of clothes where you go just incase and maybe a myst bottle to cool yourself off when you start sweating.

I got tampons from school because we were learning about puberty in June of 2008 , now i have my period i wanted to use it but the thing is i opened one before is it ok to use now or is it unsterilized?
As long as it was in the wrapper, it is still fine. Make sure there were no packaging tears or anything
edit- if you already opened it up, then no its not good to use anymore.

i really like this guy and he likes me too but i'm afraid to do anything with him because one of my good friends dated him like 3 months ago and was devestated when they broke up and the other one used to like him but currently has a boyfriend but got a little upset when we were flirting and when i fell asleep on him at a party. i mean, he doesn't like either of them in a relationship kinda way and i don't think its fair if they got pissed at me if we dated...should i ask them anyway?
I would ask the friend who dated him how she feels about it. the other friend has a boyfriend and he was never hers so just forget about her in this situation. If your friend is still hurting from the break-up, i would wait, but its your choice. do you care more about the guy who you might only date for a few months, or the girl who will hopefully be your friend for years and years?

I know, I have very irregular period but i don't know why I am worried this time, i had my period in march break but i didn't get it in april and i didn't get it yet...is this a problem..I never had sex..is this normal to miss your periods?
Irregular periods are common, especailly in the first few years of your period. some girls go months without having their period. if you are not sexually active there is nothing to worry about. check out this website for more details: http://www.epigee.org/menstruation/irregularperiods.html

My 30 yr old sister, ‘Sara’, has a five year old daughter, ‘Emma’. Sara has never held a job for more than a few weeks, when she does work, but mostly stays unemployed even though she got her bachelor’s degree a few years ago. My mom and dad are now supporting her and her daughter 100%. They pay for her to live in a quaint little house that my Mom pays the mortgage on, pay for preschool so that Emma will be ready for kindergarten, pay for utilities, food, and clothing for Emma, etc. Sara used to do drugs. Meth, we assume. She seemed to have quit when Emma was born. We are suspecting that she may be doing drugs again, but don’t have any strong reason to suspect. Emma appears to be well cared for and spends a lot of time visiting my parent’s farm, 45 minutes away. She is happy, smart, and healthy. Mom and Dad are just about broke. Both are supposed to be retired. Mom doesn’t even have health insurance. They certainly can’t afford to be supporting Sara and Emma. They’ve talked about getting a reverse mortgage for their farm. They have threatened to force Sara to move out to their little house in the middle of the nowhere is Sara doesn’t get a job. This is a bad option for all. Mom hates the school district and there would definitely not be any jobs out there. She used to live in a cheap apartment, but Mom and Dad ended up paying for that, too. My older sister says they need to just sell the extra “city” house and let Sara figure it out on her own from there. This would mean a lot of work for Mom and Dad (to fix the house up, move Sara out, etc.) plus, they won’t let their granddaughter be thrown out on the street. If you ask Sara what she plans to do, she either yells (at Mom) or says she’s trying. For two years she’s been saying this. We have no good or solid reason to take Emma away from Sara, though I would love to. Emma says her mom just lies around and sleeps all the time, but Emma shows no signs of neglect. Sara is very manipulative and would somehow convince a therapist that Mom and Dad SHOULD keep supporting her (she’s manipulated therapists before). What should they/we/whoever do?
This is a hard decision, your sister does not deserve the support but the child needs it. If i were your parents i would stop supporting her and leave her on her own. If she needs to she can sign up for wellfare, isnt that what it was made for? your parents should not be giving up a comfortable life to give your lazy sister a better one. I think you should tell your family your opinion. and if they dont want their granddaughter out on the street, the should take her and leave 'sara' on the streets until she can get her act together. Parents wanting to help is normal, but this has clearly gone to far.

Hey there all
Okay heres the thing I had a plan for my life and now when the plan should be near completion - I had intended on passing my college course and becoming an event manager! I have just found out that the chances of this happening r pretty slim so now what I need to know is does anyone have any advice on what I can do next to figure out what I want to do?? I am for the first time in my nineteen years without a plan and I don't like it!!
All help is much appreciated!!
lxxx
Figure out something else you want to do. Stay off a plan for a while and explore some other options. Dont give up on your first plan until you are positive it wont happen, but start creating a back up plan. What else are you good at or interested in? is there anything you are already partailly trained it? think about what your options are and im sure a plan will come to you.
p.s. you might find having no plans is fun! :)

to guys like girls who play hard to get? and how can you play hard to get but at the same time let the guy know that you're interested?
There is a very fine line between being flirty and being easy. Guys like a challenge, but dont be so hard to get that the guy gives up. dont always try to talk to him, but maybe smile at him once in a while then act uninterested.

Me and my boyfriend have been having some tough times. First of all he lies a lot and then he said he would never do it again once i told him it was his last chance. Well i found out he kept something from me over the weekend. My parents hate his guts but for some reason i still like him after he has betrayed me and lied so many times. I also found out my friend was talking bad about me to him before also. So, im not really sure on what to do. I still have lots of feelings for him even after all this stuff. Please help. thanks!
Seriously even if you like him tell him if he doesnt shape up you are gone. same with your friend. who needs people like that in their life? even if you have feelings for him you will get over it when you realize how much happier and more relaxed you are without him

For the past two days my little toe has been in really bad pain. I play soccer and had a game on Saturday. A girl stepped on my toe and I think might have broken it. It has been purple but went back to normal color. It also has been lying on its side and locks up. It hurts really bad!!! so do you think its broken and if so what should i be doing to help it heal. OOOh and i have been able to walk on it and have cracked it to make it stop locking up. When i do crake it it gives it relief for the moment.... sooo any advice?
I would go to a doctor, especailly if it was or is black and blue. It is probably broken. for know, stop playing and follow RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). use medical tape to tape it too the toe next to it and wear flip flops or shoes that dont squish it.

On friday im going to my neighbors sweet sixteen. There are going to be a lot of people there and im sooooo excited. Its at the marriot hotel and i bought a coral dress that has a big bow in the back and is a little above the knee. It also has spaghetti straps and is a little poofy at the bottom. Im wearing it with white leggings and brown 5 inch wedges. They're the type that is wooden at the bottom... so do you think this will look good? Also i have brown hair and tan skin since im spanish and guatemalan
If it isnt too short i say ditch the leggings, unless you have razor burn or something. show off that tan skin! Other than that the outfit sounds great. i think you should also wear a chunky brown necklace with it but whatever you think looks good probably does.

I'm looking to get back into shape after being diagnosed with a spinal disease and having to quit volleyball. Where do I even start?
(I'm clear to do any exercise besides participating in sports)
How often and how long do I exercise? Should I just start with cardio? Should I automatically jump into weights? How long am I supposed to wait before expecting results?
I want to lose 10 lbs in 2 months.
I'm 16 and female as well.
First of all, i would set my standards a little lower, maybe to 10lbs a month not in two weeks. losing weight over time instead of quickly gives a better chance that it will stay off. because you havent exercised in a while and have a medical condition, i would start off with a personal trainer or at least have a plan made for you (sometimes they have this option at gyms) try running every morning or night, the same time, and work it in to your schedule. start with a half of a mile and grudually increase the distance and speed. i would say do not jump to weights, maybe just try jogging with small 2 lb weights to start with. cardio workouts for a half hour a day should be a good start, maybe an hour on the weekends. for a teenager, its hard to work exercise into your school and social life schedule. remember to eat right (tips on eating right at realage.com). good luck :)

I don't really want to start a relationship until I know I can be independent you know, so I dont need to have a relationship and so I can be able to not put that person before anyone and anything else. Also I just dont want to have a relationship if i'm not emotionaly stable. Because right now if I was in a relationship i'd be putting him before everything. How will I know when i'm ready to have a relationship? Is what i'm doing right? Should I be doing this?
Noone will know if you are ready but you. Make the decision your gut tells you is right. i would say go for it though. give yourself a chance to make mistakes and it could turn out to be the best decision of your life.

ive never kissed a guy or had a boyfriend. i want one though! i just don't know how to make small talk, any tips!?
Find things you have in common! Maybe your in the same math class, both play soccer, or both have an addiction to american idol. start by sitting next to him or near him, just say hi and introduce yourself. dont try to hard. open yourself up and try not to be to shy. and i know this is so cliche but seriously just be your self! if a boy doesnt like you for you then he isnt worth it. try not to be too desperate and know that you wont be single and kissless forever. it will happen and when it does it will be great. good luck :)

So I've had problems with socializing over the past...eh...year?
The last time I hung out with friends outside of school was last year.
We hung out two Friday nights in a row & they never mentioned it to me again...keep in mind, these are still my friends.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how I can make friends outside of school because you know how highschool is. There are cliques that are already established by sophomore year & once you leave one, it's heard to really get in with another. Yeah, that's where I am.
I'm planning on getting a job this summer. This doesn't totally answer the question, though, because I'm the shyest person I've met...ever. So, recap...my questions are:
-Where can I meet people asap?
-How can I further develop social skills?
-I'm assuming you may mention small-talk when answering the question above...how do you do small-talk without sounding like you're so awkward that you must resort to small-talk?
Keep in mind, I'm 16.
I have had the same problem. before i made some better friends at school, my best friends were made on a club soccer team. the summer job is also a really good idea, a surefire way to make friends. as for social skills, you learn by experience, trial and error, so the best thing you can do is just talk to people and dont feel like your awkward the whole time or you will be. and small talk is the start of all friendships, just go with it. and maybe you should invite some of your friends out as a group, dont assume they dont want to hang out with you. also, keep in mind there are always kids looking for friends, even if it doesnt seem like it. open yourself up to people you havent talked to or dont know. good luck and if you have any other questions feel free to ask :)
