to make a long story short... my best friend once broke up with her boyfriend. then he asked me out and i said yes. we went out for a week and then he dumped me saying he still had feelings for my best friend. I was ok with that, but still i liked him and hurt at the same time. we stayed friends. Then my best friend broke up with him for good. and she was serious this time.

well now he is flirting with me, and he bought me earrings and a necklace. we talk on the phone for about 3 hours a day and he is talking about how he might bike over to my house and hang out.

well before he flirted with me again, he was talking about how he is going to hook me up with his best friend. and i do like his best friend...

soo yeah i like him and his best friend... and i think both of them like me back. aghh i don't know what to do! is he using me again??? who should i go out with? HELP ME PLEASE! I'M SO CONFUSED!

i like him but i don't want to get hurt again... but then i like his friend but i don't know for sure if his friend likes me back. (link)
Its doesn't sound like he is using you. Its sounds like he might like you again but there is a chance he still has feelings for your best friend. I think you should find out if his best friend likes you. Like your best friend can ask him. And I think you should get your best friends opinion on this. She might feel weird about it or something. So find out if his best friend likes you and he doesn't, who cares because there are other guys. And the chance is maybe one of them isn't the perfect guy.


Okay, at my job everyone teases me, most of the teasers are the guys and they do it in a nice waysometimes to make me smile b/c I hardly ever do that. But, there is one guy, call him Joe, and he doesn't just tease, he has to point out everyone one of my charater defects, EVERYONE of them all of the time. Well, for a week he went on vacation and when he came back like 2 days ago I told him I wasn't speaking to him but didn't tell him why. The reason why I won't speak to him is because 1) he pierced my ear for me and I am totally grateful but now it doesn't look healthy anymore, 2) he always embarrasses me at work and is picking on me, and says I have an attitude problem, I can't take a compliment, and so many other mean things. So maybe he doesn't know that he is bothering me with his comments but his best friend told me that he does know and that other people's pain makes him happy (weird, I know, but it could be a lie b/c his friend is NOT the best source of information). Also, my manager heard me tell Joe I wasn't speaking to him and said I am immature. I don't know what to do, ANY advice and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for reading this. (link)
I agree with khadiya be nice to him and eventually he will stop. Like if you try to ignore him that might not help because he knows it is bothering you. Let him bother you and be nice and smile and such until he stops. And then your problem is solved. But I hope everything goes well for you.


There's this guy I've worked with for the past month of so. Neither of us are looking for a commitment or a relationship, but I'm into him. I'm wanting a more casual thing. I know he's at least interested in me and we've hung out a couple times and flirt at work and stuff. Well, last night we hung out for the last time in almost 3 weeks because he's leaving for vacation and when he gets back I'll be gone to California for two weeks. I'm coming back at the very beginning of August. We're going to talk on the phone and stuff, so all communication isn't broken, but when I come back I want to make an impression.

While I'm there I'm going to go to the pool every day and we're going to the beach, so I'll have a good tan when I get back. Plus, I'm going to get my hair cut and re-highlighted. I'm getting side bangs as opposed to just layers like I have now. So I'll be looking better than I do now...but what other simple improvements can I make to make an impression on him and everyone else. I want to come back with a bang. Plus, about a month after I get back, I'm going back to school, so I want to make a good impression there too.

Oh, and any tips on ways to flirt over the phone or cute things to say to him while I'm gone would be greatly appreciated. :] Pretty much your thoughts on all of this would be great. (link)
Well your getting your haircut and a tan? Well your personality could change too. Well the way you act around other people. Like I'm not saying your not nice and stuff but I'm saying that there are flaws in your life that are good things. So you could work on those. And if you don't smile alot when you talk to people you could be extra friendly. You be known as the girl who is friendly to everyone and always in a good mood even when things go wrong. It could help you and others. Like other people may be having a rough day so them seeing you can cheer them up. And other people will look up to you. It will change you and have other people see the change and even the guy. Well I hope everything goes well for you and I hope you have a good time on your vacation.


I like this boy and he is so cute. He is Italian and I am too, so I really want to get to know him but I seem to not be able to talk to him. I could talk to other boys but not him. Even the boys that I like the other years I was able to talk. I guess I want him to come to me. Well, I mean I did talk to him a couple of times because we got partnered up but very small words. Such as: 50ml, no, yes, and small words. When we pick our seats I want to sit next to him but I don't want to. At the begining of the year we started starring at eachoher, it was weird. How do I know if he like me too? Should I stop liking him? What should I do next year. (link)
Well I know it is hard to talk to him but thats basically the only way that would help most. Just think about something that can get you going. Like school. You guys have classes together right? So you could be like, what do you think about this class, teacher, ect. Then from there he might pick up the conversation. Then later on while you guys are friends and such then you might flirt a little and see how he takes it. If he takes it like he doesn't like it then that might be a good sign, or he is shy. If he takes it in a good way or flirts back then chances are he likes you.


well my ex broke up with me about 2 weeks ago or so and i took it pretty hard at first then for a little bit i thought everything was okay and i was over him but im not. we still talk sometimes but we dont hang out and i havent seen him since like 4 days before we broke up. but i have run into his mom a few times and its weird but i dont know what to do i try to move on and that definatly didnt work. but i dont think he still likes me but i dont know if he knows how much i still like him, but one of my good friends just started dating his best friend and when they hang out he is there and i dont know what to do should i tell him how i feel or try to just act like things are fine and jut flirt and go from there???

Sorry this is kinda long!! =] (link)
Its tough. But lots of people have gone through this plenty of times. Would you still want to like him again though? I mean there are other guys in the world. Well if you do end up to keep liking him and want to get back with him then I think you guys should talk a little bit and become friends and just do some flirting and hope he gets the hint.

But if you want to try and stop just try to keep your mind off him. Like go have fun and hang out with friends, mall, talk to other guys. That can really help with that. I hope everything goes well for you!

I have liked this guy since the beginning of the year. Let's name him Bob. Okay, well Bob used to be nice and funny. And then I found out he starting using drugs, and I kinda stopped liking him. And I started liking other guys. I would still like Bob. But I knew that nothing will ever happen between us. And I personally hate people who do drugs. Well Bob change dramatically. So like I said, I start liking other guys. But know that it's summer. I can't stop thinking of anyone else except him. I really want to forget about this guy because of his drug addiction. Help me please!! What can I do to forget about him? (link)
You are doing the right thing for your future and think of the negative things of Bob. You will eventually stop liking him. You just need to get away and do stuff to keep you busy like everyone else said. Hang out with friends and meet other guys. It will be over eventually. There are plenty more guys out there and your doing the right thing about right from wrong.


ok so here is the deal i moved from queens to upstae i kno no one is this area my promlem is that i am going to summer school and cute boy name john is the apple of my eye so how do i get him to noctice me and ask out me how do i tell him i like him with out telling

(link)
You can't actually make a guy notice you. Well you should talk to him its not very hard. Like say a hi every now and then to get you started and get into a conversation. Then later on when you guys are friends the next step is flirting. But I hope everything goes well for you!


How can I keep my cool when dealing with a rude coworker? (link)
Rude coworker? Lots of people have to deal with those but you don't have to be mean back, keep that in mind (lots of people have that problem) Just keep cool and have a lot of patience and maybe they will come around to you and decide they like you. And be friendly, you don't have to give a smirk and stuff like that when they are rude to you. Just be happy the rest of the day you work. Maybe someday they will come around to you.


here is the thing.
i became best friends with one of my best friends in 7th grade.
this coming year we will be seniors.
she moved to another district at the end of 8th.
but we are still very close. though she is a half hour away.
she told me her dreams and how she wants to go to college and such.
shes been dancing and doing soccer for years.
this past friday me and my friend were trying to make plans since we havent seen her since september.
and shes all "im trying to get high" and crap..and all we could do is be like WTF?! we didnt know how to react to her stupidity. and we werent sure to yell at her. hate her or be mad at her. the next day she came online and apologized to me and said she didnt remember shit from the night before online. and that she was sorry and she regreted it. and how she didnt mean to do it and such. and swore she would never do it again. the today i was talking to my friend and she said how our friend came to her and all about her problems and that she was upset because people were being arses... yet what she pulled the other night was pathetic and how my friend was all WTF and wanted to make her regret it so badly yet didnt know what to do.

i dont know what to do. >_<
we have that kinda friendship where we sat 2 tables away and our tables hate the others table. so we got into hating each other but we didnt know why...and finally we broke free and just happened to be sitting at the same table with 1 of our friends. so we learned that we were stupid and we became really close.

so im not sure if its worth yelling at her and what not half of me makes it seem like she is sorry and she regrets it yet half feels like she doesnt.

and do you know by any chance any song lyrics for this type of situation?

thanks!
sorry it was so long.

(link)
I don't know any song lyrics, sorry but its sorta sonfusing of what you wrote but I'll see what I can do. So you feel it seems like she is sorry and regrets that but halkf feels like she doesn't. Maybe give her another chance. And if she does it again then its over. Because if you yell at her and she did say she was sorry and ment it then there would be no point. So forgive her and just remember if it happens again that friendship might end up sinking. Well good luck and I hope everything goes well for you.


Would a guy who lost their mom get sad on their* birthday? *not the mom's, the child. Just wondering, cus I thought a card might cheer them up (i just met this person and their b-day's coming up). I'll still send it, but will he be sad in the first place?

Thanks. (link)
Well if he lost his mom he still will be sad but card would be great! Bright, fun you know anything to cheer him up.

Thats really sweet of you too.



When I was little, my parents never spent time with me, never talked to me unless it was about something i did wrong, and really brought me down.

Now I'm 16, and I'm used to living without my parents basically. They're there, but not there for me.

I think my childhood led up to the reason why I don't have any esteem at all.

I'm trying to make up for those years by hanging out with my friends- and they're calling me "clingy".

I need to try and make up for those little positive moments i never had as a kid, I need to get my esteem past the level of zero.


Any advice on how I can do this? (link)
Lots of people go through this. Your parents may not have spent time with you and only talked to you when you did something wrong. But maybe something is going on in your parents life or maybe they have gone through a tough time and don't realize what they put you through. But you do have friends that like you for who you are and even if they say you are clingy you should find a close friend to hang out with that knows you and cares about you no matter what. And can help you go through what you missed. Nobody is perfect so don't put yourself down think of positive things about you. Yes I know you have gone through alot that some people haven't but you can't tell me there isn't anything good about you. Just push yourself do keep on living. What most people do is they just focuse on whats wrong with them, all the bad stuff that happened in their life. That isn't a life. They need to forget about all that and move on. Its over now. You may have some side effects off it but thats how we learn right? You won't treat your kids that way right? So now you know. Just remember this Life isn't easy and never will be. But I hope you find what your looking for.


ok this is gonna be kinda long.. but i would really appreciate some advice on this =) okay so basically i went out w/ this guy for like a year.. then i broke up w/ him for a few reasons. and he kinda knew that i liked one of his best friends a little but that was only for like a few days. and i kinda just wanted to be single. andd my friends didnt really like him so i got pressured from them too. so yeah i did it. and i was really mean to him after. like i would just bitch at him for no reason.. i guess i did it because 1. i still liked him but i was like trying to push him away 2. he got over it pretty quickly..probably b/c i had done this a few other times 3. his friends were bothering me 4. he found a new girl like a week later (they werent going out though). yeah so anyways i was pretty much a bitch to him and i dont think i was the best gf either. and it kinda sucks that it took all this to realize that but i know its a lot to ask but i just want to be friends w/ him b/c like when you go out w/ someone for like a year you get kinda close w/ them and then its like a big loss in your life when theyre just gone. but the problem is he doesnt want to talk until the end of the summer.. and by then i dont think we will ever talk againn soo yeah what should i do? like i understand i was such a bitch to him but i apologized and some of the reasons were his fault. what should i do? sry its so long xoxo (link)
Its true what ammo said, all you can do it wait until the end of summer. Don't bother him no more about and try to be nicer to him. Even if some of the reasons was his fault, that won't help much to get him to be your friend right? And you did apologize the rest is on his shoulders and there is nothing more you can do. But good luck and I hope everything goes well for you?


so i`ve been dating my boyfriend since july 4th of last year, so it`s almost 1 year.
i love him alot, but we fight ALOT. is that normal? we fight over stupid things and both get pissed off super easy, and it really makes me so mad sometimes. i don`t know how much of the fighting i can take, but i don`t want to break up with him. i`ve talked to hima bout it, but he thinks we`re fine. he knows i hate it, but neither of us can help getting mad.

what should i do? (link)
It is true that fighting alot can cause stress and can really bother you but sometimes its true that fighting can help you. Fighting isn't really a good thing like you actually want it to happen. But yes it is normal when you guys fight. You love him? But he thinks you guys are fine. So it shouldn't be much of a problem unless he hates you. Do you guys spend every moment together? Well if you do you guys should hang out with friends seperately so you can have your space and it will ease you off a bit. I'm not saying you should break up because you both love each other. But just saying there are other things to think of too. Just try to get away for a little bit and have some fun. But good luck for you and I hope everything goes well.


ii need help...
im average... im not fat... but im average... i want to be skinny... like everyone else... its not fair... what can i do... what can i eat or do 2 make me skinny...? please help its urgent x (link)
The best way to lose weight without starving yourself to death is probably keep eating healthy. Likes don't eat a whole bunch of snacks alot or unhealthy foods. Then there is excercising. Like if you don't go to a gym or anything like that just ride your bike around or go for a hike. But do alot of excersising everyday. Those are the top two for losing weight. The rest witch does help somewhat is went on a diet and ate out less. But the best would be the first two. Well good luck and I hope it works out for you!


I really like my best friend Jacey's boyfriend, Tom, So what do I do? (link)
She is your best friend and well would you want to lose a best friend and MAYBE get the guy. You can tell her but it might not be that safe, yes best friends tell each other everything but sometimes it might be ok to hold it in. If they do break up wait a little, it would be hard on both of them at the moment after awhile Jacey deserves to know (if you still like him) and you might get the guy. But don't mess around with that right now it can cause some things that you don't want in your life.


so ive been with my boyfriend for over a year. i love him to death but would honestly love nothing more than to "break up" with his family. in a very small nutshell, they are just... not nice people. i come from a very close polite friendly family... and he, well, does not. any ways on how to deal? i see them alot [cant avoid that] =/ (link)
It will be hard but you love your boyfriend too right? So when you take him, you take his family. And being polite will be hard but it something that will help and to avoid getting in fights with them. But your boyfriend put up with them his life so he can probably help you just talk to him about and maybe things will get better. Just hold on and things will get better.


There is this quy from work who without any doupt in my mind is attracted to me and has deep feelings for me. The problem is he hasn't asked me out. Sometimes i get the feeling that he does really like me as more than a friend but other times he acts more like just a friend. Some days he's very attentive and caring and other days he's indifferent. By his body language, eye contact, and the way his friend from work treats me i know he's crazy about me. So why then hasn't he asked me out? Do you think he's waiting for me to make the first move? (link)
He might be shy and may be a little nervous about making the first move. He might be scared of what you think if he asked you out and all that. But try asking him if he would go to lunch like the person below said because it really isn't a date. And if he doesn't take it from there it might not be worth it. But good luck with this guy and I hope everything goes well.


lately my bf and I were not that ok like were not like before that we would always make flirt with each other now we just sit with each other then ask if were ok then we became quiet. Do you think what should I do to make our relationship interesting and fun?..Ü (link)
Well you guys should find something to talk about like talk about what you did earlier or what was funny that happened the other day and stuff like that. You guys should go somewhere fun maybe somewhere it nots so expensive? So you could go bowling or you know something like that. But I hope everything goes well for you!


So I've picked names out and I've liked them forever, and I've wanted to name my kids these names.
But my family doesn't like them.

so here we go-
(boys)
Tobias
Pilot
Asha or Sasha
Lucas
&
Gavin
(link)
They probably won't hate you. I like those names except Asha or Sasha, I'm not a big fan of but the rest seem fine to me. But remember make sure you choose a name that you really love and that your kids will have for the rest of there lives.


I have a boyfriend and we're really close and all that...I'm getting him his gift and I have to have it by March 30th.I was thinking...We were at the mall together and he saw 1) a ring he LOVED 2) a poster he wanted SO badly...all together it costs about 25 $...do you think this will be a good gift ??

[PS.We've been going out almost a month] (link)
Is it like a birthday gift or something special like that or is it just something you are doing nice for him? Well if it is then the poster and ring would be good for just like the nice kinda thing. If it was a special kind of thing then I would say maybe something cute unless his personality isn't like that but you know something to remember you by, a picture of you and him in a cute frame or something but if its just something you want to get him for just out of your heart then I would say thats a good choice. I hope everything goes well for you!
