I really need your help!!!!
so theres this guy lets call him mikey. i really like mikey, and i think he likes me. But the problem is, i dont know if he goes out with people. Hes kind of a goodi-goodi, and so i dont think he'll ever ask me out. But i feel like im in love with him, and i reallly want him to be my boyfriend. How should i know if he goes out? How should i let him know i like him?

Well, if you know any of mikey's friends, then you can ask them if he goes out with people, or if he has ever had a girlfriend. I'm sure one of his close friends would probably know.
If you want to let him know that you like him, then you should tell one of your friends that you like him. Maybe she will tell mikey or one of mikey's friends. You also need to flirt with him, if you aren't already. Make sure you talk to him a lot, and say hi to him in the halls. If you think that he likes you already, then he should be happy to know that you like him too.

im not sure if im a good singer or a bad singer. how can i tell without asking someone because then I'd get nervious. Also does anyone have any tips on how to be a good singer?

thanks

Well you could record yourself singing... then you can see if you like it. If you record yourself, you don't have to worry about getting nervous, because you can just do it when you're by yourself. And if you mess up then you don't have to be embarrassed.
The main tip i can give you (that is actually working for me pretty well) is to just practice singing every day. The more you practice singing, the better you will be at it.
Another thing to remember is to sing using your diaphram. It makes the notes sound better. Also, I've heard that you should sing louder, instead of quietly. I also tried this, and it made my singing sound a lot better.
So yea, go and try it out. Remember that it takes patience and practice.

Theres this boy right
and like he used to hate me
Then I guess he got over it becuase He Imed me ONE time
then at school , he talks to me if im around
but he doesnt talk to me online anymore.
Does he still hate me?

ps. before he Imed me ONCE when he hated me, he didnt talk to me in school.

Well if he is talking to you at school, then it doesn't sound like he hates you. If you want him to talk to you more, then maybe you could start talking to him! Maybe it just seems like he hates you because he is scared to talk to you... he could think that you hate him or maybe he could even like you. But with the information you've given me, it doesn't sound like he hates you. I guess i don't really know what he talks to you about or anything like that... but in general, if someone talks to you then they probably don't hate you.

I've gotten all of my Christmas shopping done, except for one person: my mom. I have no idea what to get her! The problem is she doesn't want anything, and what she does want she buys herself. Could I have some ideas please? Maybe some gifts you got for your own mother? Thanks!

The first thing that came to my mind was Bath and Body Works. You can get her anything from there: lotion, perfume, body wash... there's a lot of stuff. And who doesn't like stuff that smells that good?! You could also get her some jewelry or maybe a cute purse or something. Just think of something along those lines that you might like and i'm sure that she would enjoy it too.

I've been shaving my pubic area for about a year now. However, whenever I shave I can't seem to get everything to come out smooth. Whatever I try (different shaving creams, sharper/new razor) I can't seem to get everything. Soo, im thinking about waxing? Going somewhere to get it done is pretty much out of the question for me right now.. but is there anything I can get at a store that people have tried that they know is reliable? Any tips besides waxing are welcome! Thanks in advance :]

I've never used a waxing kit from a store, but i'm sure you could find one if you look.
I had this same problem. This may sound weird, but i used regular bar soap, and it works a lot better than shaving cream does. Also try pressing a little harder (also go SLOW)while you're shaving. It isn't smooth because you aren't getting the hair shaved off all the way. So if you just get closer to your skin while you are shaving i'm sure you'll be fine. It was smooth for me when i tried it. Just be careful not to cut yourself because you are closer to your skin!

i have a crush on one of my friends named *steve*. one of my best girl-friends and him went out last year but they've been broken up for more than a year now and she says she doesnt like him. but being friends me and this boy will sit on each other at parties and flirt but just in a friendly way. but now i like him. now everytime i start flirting with him my friend will start giving me dirty looks but i had asked her the day before if she liked him and she said no but she gets mad when we flirt. i know that he doesnt like her anymore but my friend will never tell me the truth about her feeling for him. i dont want to hurt her if she still likes him but i feel like she could be holding us back. how am i supposed to deal with her and hint to my friend that my flirting is because i like him?

Its great that you are respecting your friend, but if they broke up a year ago, and if she is telling you that she doesn't like him anymore, then there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to flirt with him. Tell your friend that you like *steve* a little bit, and if shes a good friend then she will understand. It is kind of hard to stop yourself from liking someone. Don't keep this from your friend... just tell her, she shouldn't mind it too much since they broke up a year ago. If she does still like him, then maybe try to help her get over him. She needs to find a new guy if she is spending her time worried about this one.

So, i just got these colored contacts. And i have spent probably about 5-6 hours trying to get them in [not in one time period] My mom got them to go in hers, and a friend of mine got them to go in his. I cant get them in mine! I have tried everything, they tried to get it in mine NOTHING WORKS! So, maybe its because i have smallish eyes, so would i be able to get contacts that are small? Or are they all standard sizes? Or is there a certain trick?

If you have an answer let me know please!

thank you so much.

It took me forever to get my contacts in the first time. I had to have my eye doctor help me and show me how to do it my very first try. Maybe you could have them help you, since they are experts at that sort of thing. I'm sure they could have a trick for you to help you get them in easy.
When you are putting them in, hold the contact out on your first finger. Look at the contact, there is a certain way it has to go into your eye. The way that it is supposed to go in your eye, the edges don't flip out. If you are holding it the wrong way, then the edge of the contact will flip out and will hurt if you try to put it into your eye.
When you put your contact in your eye, hold both top and bottom eyelid with one hand. This will prevent you from blinking as you are trying to put the contact in.
Also make sure there is nothing on the contact before you put them into your eye. Even the tiniest little piece of lint can hurt really bad.
Put makeup on after you put your contacts in, if you use it! Mascara and eyeliner can get in your contact as you are trying to put it in, which will just make you take longer putting your contact in. You will also have to redo your makeup!!
Putting contacts in the first time takes patience. Chances are, you are just like any other person in the world who is struggling to get their first contacts in. I've never heard of anyone having to get special contacts because they have small eyes. So I don't think that is the case. But just keep trying, and set a goal to get them in. Ask a parent or friend that has contacts to watch you put your contacts in and tell you if you are doing it right. Maybe they can give you some pointers, since they are right there watching. Good luck!

15/f. sometimes my friends always talk to me about these guys that they hung out with or these guys that they were talking to, and i think they are doing it just to brag about it. but then if i saw something like, "oh i was talking to *john* on the field trip and...." they will be like oh you like him. it gets so annoying! what can i do?

also i'd like to have more guy friends, but whenever i start talking to a guy a lot and start becoming friends with him people always think that i like him. what can i do so people don't think that all the time?

thanks =]

Just do that same thing to them when they are talking about a guy. Show them exactly what they are doing to you. Talk to them about it. Tell them that you don't like them and that you don't like it when they say that to you.

You can have more guy friends if you want to!! Who cares what people think? Its their own oppinion! The best that you can do is tell people that you don't like those guys like that, and that you are just friends with them. It is stupid that they think you like any guy you talk to. Don't let them stop you from making more guy friends. If it bugs you too much, maybe you can just do the same to them whenever you see them talking to a guy. Or just explain to them that talking to a guy doesn't mean that you like them.

Well first of all there is this guy I like at school.He doesn't even notice me. I talk to him sometimes, but when I start to become friends with him then I want to be more than friends then everything goes out the drain. He is 5 lockers away from me and when I turn to look he was already looking at me and then he turns his head real quickly. All I want is to go out with him and it never seems to happen. I have liked him for 3 years now. (13/f)please please help me to find a way to go out with him or help me to have a relationship with him.

Well it sounds like he does notice you, the way that you say he looks at you and turns away really fast. That is a sign that he could like you. And if you talk to him, then of course he notices you.
Try and just be his friend for now. Don't make any sudden moves, just concentrate on being his friend. When he gets to know a little more about you and talks to you more, then he could decide that he likes you. But you have to give him time.
After you've been friends for a while, then it would be fine to flirt with him and all that fun stuff... if he flirts with you back, or acknowledges it, then you can keep going with it.
If you've gone this far, and flirted with him for a while, but he doesn't seem too interested... then i suggest that you move on.
You want a guy who likes you for who you are, so don't ever act like someone you're not. i promise you that someday you will find that special someone.

b/14

i like this girland i think she likes me too i always flirt with her and she blushes and smiles at me i havent hung out with her in like 2 years she is in 2 of my classes i sit next to her in both. i went out with her in 7th grade but we broke up b/c i was sort of bored i want to go out with her again but i dont know if shes going to not wat to kiss because i dont think she ever did what should i do

OMG! i can totally relate! Haha that was like scaring me when i was reading it...cuz its so much like me.
Well, i think that you should ask her out! If she is flirting with you back (which it sounds like she is) and since you think she likes you, then there's a really good chance that she could like you back. And since you already went out with her, that means that she has liked you before, which gives you an even better chance that she might like you.
About the kissing thing, maybe you could ask one of her friends if she has ever kissed anyone. I'm sure that a good friend of hers would know... girls talk about everything! But if she hasn't, then you shouldn't turn down the chance to ask her out just because she hasn't ever kissed anyone. Maybe she wants to... you never know. If she doesn't want to, then just give her some time, and it will all work out.

im in 9th grade an im a guy im only 4'10" im probabl the shortest kid in the grade. when i ask out a girl i usually get a no maybe when we r in 10th grade. i realize that means im too short i like this girl i went out with her 2 years ago i think she likes me cause when i flirt with her she blushes and smiles she is only like 5 inches taller than me should i ask her out?

Yes! you should totally ask her out! Who cares if you're short. All of the girls that turned you down because you're short care too much about what people think... and they are afraid people might say something about it. If this girl really does like you, then she won't care if you are short or not, and she will go out with you for your personality. Good luck!

but he hangs out with his friends so i cant

umm well i'm not exactly sure which question you put before... and what i said. But if you are talking about a boy you like, then:
it doesn't matter if he's with his friends or not, you can still go talk to him! Who cares what anyone thinks, don't let it affect you. Even if he is with a group of friends, you can still go up and make an effort to talk to him. Maybe you could even ask him and some of his friends to go hang out with you and some of your friends. Then you could get to know him better, and you would be more comfortable being around him and his friends.

ok my hair is very thin and i want to know how to make my hair thicker but without getting extentions

Getting extensions isn't the only way to make your hair thicker. There are many things you could try:

- Blow dry your hair when you get out of the shower, it adds more volume to your hair, making it look thicker

-Use root lifter. Ask your hairstylist about getting some of this. I got some and it is called Matrix Amplify - Here is a picture of it.

http://brandnamebeauty.zoovy.com/product/MATR21

-You could also poof your hair in the morning, with a comb or a brush. This makes your hair look less flat against your head.

All of these things take a bit more time to do, but, trust me, it is totally worth it.
Hope i helped!

Lately i have noticed that my underarms smell really bad. I use deodarent and LOT of it. I started using more and that only made me smell worse. I recently noticed that i dont smell bad when I use less deoderant. Would anyone know why this is happening?

Maybe it is just the type of deodorant you are using. You could try using a different brand or type of deodorant and see if that helps. This is kind of like what happened to me, so i had to switch deodorants. The one that i use that really works well for me is Ban. So you could try switching deodorants and see if that works out for you, and if it doesnt then maybe ask a family member about it... they could have had the same sort of problem as you, and could know a way to help it.
Hope i helped!

Well there is this new kid in my school and is soooooo hot or if you want to call it cute. Well his name is Victor. and like i really like him and i dont know if he likes me back!!!????
I know his name and last name but he doesnt even know i like him or my Name!!!!!!
from,
Confused

Well how do you know that he doesn't know you. You never know... he could like you. But chances are that if you've never talked to him or anything, then he doesnt. That is why you need to put yourself out there and go talk to him. As soon as he gets to know you, he will figure out what a great person you are, and maybe then he will like you back. That way, both of you can get to know each other a little better, cuz it sounds like you dont know him too well either. Hope i helped!

oke i have a boyfriend and its my bestfriends brother and so we have been going out for bout a week and i want to talk to him hold hands with him but i dont know what to do i dont know what to talk about so will you answer my question as sooon as you can?

thanxxxx
felicia

Just talk about whatever is on your mind. Maybe you can talk about a class you have, or what you did over the weekend... you can talk about pretty much anything. Me and my boyfriend talk about almost everything, even if its something really stupid. About the whole holding hands thing, just do it! If you hold his hand or hug him, or whatever it is that you want to do, then he will know that you're comfortable with it... and he will know that it is ok for him to do it to you. Don't be afraid, he likes you and theres not going to be too many things you do that make you look stupid in front of him. When a person likes you, they concentrate on more of the positive things about you. So there's no need to feel embarassed about anything. Its time to break the ice! Good luck!

ok so i got my first period in the end of august and ges wat now its november 20th and i still havent gotton another period! im very confused should i be worried? is there something wrong with me?!? should i tell my mom i havent gotton another period since then? please help i totaly dont kno wat to do?

Its ok, If it was your very first period, then you're perfectly fine. Periods are always irregular for the first couple of years, and you never know for sure when you'll get them. I have a friend who got her first period in June, and just got her second one this last month, and she's perfectly fine. Trust me on this one. So just make sure you have a pad/tampon with you at all times, in case it comes again and you'll be perfectly fine. For a while, when you're irregular, i reccomend you use pantiliners, then if you get your period when you dont expect it, it won't all go in your undies. Good luck! I hope i helped!

ok i am in need of aboyfriend my love life has taken a dive and i can't really find anyone i'm not horrible looking and i have been told that i am pretty but i want a guy to tell me that and i just can't seem to find one please give me advice on how to find a boyfriend.

Well, the answer is simple: F-L-I-R-T. You can't be shy... bring out your inner self. Most guys like outgoing girls. Get out of your comfort zone. It takes guys time to decide they like a girl. So all of this will take patience. Don't make this all happen in one day, it takes time. But just work on flirting with a few guys, and it will all come to you soon. Im sure you're a very likeable person, people just need the chance to get to know you.
Here's a website with a few flirting tips, along with a few other things throughout the site you might enjoy:

Okay I like this guy he dosn't know I like him but he's had a couple girlfriends and one just broke up with him not to long ago. He's real nice and I want to tell him but also I don't because of the last time everyone found out right now my bestfriend knows. Do you think I should tell him?

Ok, so I'm going to turn this around a little bit.
Say that you find out this guy likes you.. you aren't quite sure if you like him or not. So then what do you do? You start to notice him more. That brings out the positive things in him. So then you decide you like him more.

Ok now lets try this the other way.
You really like this guy, and you want to tell him you like him, but arent sure if you should or not. So you decide to let him know. (Don't go up and tell him... have it go through a friend, and make it subtle. You dont want to freak him out). He starts to notice you more, and starts to notice all the positive things in you. If he doesn't like you already, then he could start to like you more. And with a little bit of flirting on your part, you could very well have a boyfriend fairly soon.

**Just remember:
-Dont be too forward about anything. That can be a huge turn-off.
-Don't tell a ton of people. Just stick with that one friend knowing. Let her subtlely tell this guy that you like him.
-Keep him wondering. You don't want it to sound like you're obsessed with him. It will just make him like you more if he spends his time trying to figure out if you like him.
Hope everything goes well for you

I am in the musical Annie, for my school. I have recieved the large part of Grace Farell. As you know, she has one important song to sing; I Think Im Gonna Like It Here.

I love singing, and acting, but i have a problem with nerves before shows.

What are ways to bring those down [ and i mean my nerves go insane! ]?

Thanks in advance.

That sounds like tons of fun! Our school is doing that musical too! Just practice really hard, practice in front of your friends and family. Practice in front of a bunch of people to calm your nerves so you wont be as nervous in front of people. When you're actually doing the show and you have your lines memorized and have rehearsed it over and over, you probably won't even notice that the audience is there. (especially since the bright lights are shining on you, which makes it hard to see the audience. LOL.) Just believe in yourself and you can do it.
