I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:

and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

Well, you could tRy standing outside on his dooRstep in Really shoRt shoRts. OR, if this doesn't suit you.. just be Really fRiendly? You didn't give me much to go on heRe, so it's kinda difficult to help... BUT.. if he's someone you know well, and you figuRe he just doesn't feel the same, then you *DEFINITELY* need to confRont him on this. Just be bold, be honest, and go foR it. It's the *ONLY* way to know FOR SHORE if he likes you oR not; you can *ASSUME* he does all you want... but you'll neveR know exactly how he feels unless it's coming stRaight fRom his lovely face. And if he's someone you don't know and only see aRound, tRy going up to him if you can catch him alone befoRe school and in between classes. Just be confident, and SMILE, SMILE, SMILE. See, I have NOOO pRoblem appRoaching people, because I believe that I can do anything, so I just push my feaRs aside and go foR it!! I'll walk up to some man in the mall and tell him flat out, "You'Re hot"... and it always gets us talking. Why does it always get us talking?? Because confidence is sexy, and even if he's involved, oR not wanting a Relationship with you specificly, any man who is a QUARTER of a man will speak with you foR just having enough guts to go foR it! So, now that that's coveRed... go get 'em, TigeR!! I have complete faith in you; and I think you should too. Hopefully this has been of some help to you; I'm soRRie if it's not the answeR you weRe seeking, but know that I'm always, always, always heRe if you eveR need a second opinion. =D

♥[?]♥ ohk so i have liked this guy already for about a year. he says he likes me too but i dont think he does cuz one day he acts like it and the next day he dont. he keeps getting my hopes up and it hurts cuz i noe he's just messing me. he also keeps flirting with one of my best friends, and with everyone else he also tells them every single thing he says to me. so i am hurting so bad. what should i do ?
Wow, *I* don't like him, and I don't even *know* him. You know what... anyone who huRts you, can't be good. Though unfoRtunate, the best thing foR you to do is gatheR up the pieces of youR bRoken heaRt, and walk away - just foRget about him. I don't think you should devote any moRe of youR time, teaRs, oR effoRt on this guy. Think of it this way: why botheR wasting time on some guy who could caRe less? I wish you the best! Hopefully I've been of some help heRe!

♥[?]♥ I have a problem with one of your recent answers. Chocolate and tomatoes DEFINITELY do not cause any form of acne or pimples/zits, etc. Its scientifically proven. Next time you answer a question, have the facts.
youR mom. =D *SMOOCH*

♥[?]♥ What are those so called "love handles"?
A "love handle" is a bulge of fat aRound the tummy/waist. They call is a "love handle", because it's a "handle" to hold on to, while making love. Hope this claRifies!

♥[?]♥ ok..i need to save up about 350 dollars... i am old enought to babysit..but the problem with that is that i dont know anyone that i could babysit for...i am not old enought to get a real job like at a store or something...so does anyone have any siggestions on how to earn money??? thanks! i'll rate high for good answers!!
Babysitting would be good, if you'Re up foR the challenge. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. It'd be good to make shoRe you know *exactly* how to peRfoRm CPR on infants and toddleRs in case of emeRgency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to youR Resume. PaRents aRe moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you. Then tRy making a bunch of flieRs and distRibuting them on the bullentin boaRds at youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. Also, you can tRy putting an ad in the papeR. AnotheR option, you could go foR lawn mowing - big money to be had theRe; geneRally $20.00 - $65.00 peR good sized yaRd! Hopefully I've been of some help heRe. =D

♥[?]♥ My boyfriend like to fidle around with my chest, and oh do I not mind, I think it is pleasureable and feels incredible, but he also will ask me to touch myself like he does. The thing is, I don't mind touching my breats like that, I like the feeling of me touching them and it kind of turns me on. Is this weird or wrong?
No, that's hot -- keep it up.

♥[?]♥ My daughter is 15 months old. She's off her bottle now, but I can't seem to get her off of her pacifier. Does anyone have ideas to get her off her pacifier?

I wouldn't mind her keeping it, except that it is starting to pull her teeth forward.
I am not a motheR, noR have I spent much time aRound infants/toddleRs, but I've seaRched online and found a few sites that peRhaps you might like to consideR viewing. I've discoveRed that they pRovide tips and solutions about weaning a child off theiR beloved pacifieR. http://www.momcentral.com/FeaturedArticles/weaningpacifier.html ----AND---- http://bbs.babycenter.com/board/baby/babycare/babysoothing/9924/thread/1804642 As well as: http://www.babywizards.com/articlearchive-pacifierweaning.html SoRRie I can't be of moRe assistance, but hopefully those websites make this time easieR on both MotheR and baby. Goodluck to you =D

♥[?]♥ when ever i watch a love scene in a movie or show i kinda of think of me and my crush and then i suddenly feel so depressed . but it last for a long time
Uhm, well wheRe's the exact question heRe?

♥[?]♥ people always say i am outta style and im worried because i really want to fit in what should i do!
Do *YOU* think you'Re "outta style"?? We'Re *YOU* unhappie with youRself *BEFORE* people put that cRazy idea in youR head?? You Really ought to think about that, but theRe's nothing wRong with selfimpRovement, so if you feel you must: you could tRy dying youR haiR, oR simply getting high lights done. Also, if you don't have neat, shapely eyebRows... I suggest looking into that. I'm not shoRe if you weaR make up oR not, but if not... you could tRy that -- just use some lip gloss and eyeshadow. If you'd like some make up Reccomendations/tips, feel fRee to ask me. AnotheR thing, it's impoRtant to keep youR teeth white and youR bReath fResh at all times! And while we'Re on the subject of white teeth... RemembeR to always SMILE SMILE SMILE -- smiles get noticed, my deaR. Honestly, it's not so much "natuRal beauty" as it is asscessoRies. FoR instance, you might want to consideR puRchasing some glamoRous and funky items such as a backpack, shoelaces, bRacelets, puRses and so on. Just be confident, and don't be afRaid to take some Risks and test the limits! I wish you the best of luck -- hopefully I've been of some help heRe!

♥[?]♥ ... i love my boyfriend and never want to leave him .... its just sometimes ... i dont and i want to kill myself because he never seems happy with me ... he get irritated and even slaps me sometimes. But i dont want to break up! Please help ... I dont know what else to do

~ Hurtin' on the outside
HE SLAPPED YOU!?! What kind of a man would loweR himself to hit a chick? That's the most pathetic thing I've heaRd in my life! Why on eaRth would you love someone who tReats you like shit?? He obviously holds no Respect foR you of *ANY* kind! Life is difficult enough as it is.. but you definitely *DO NOT* need his shit pilin' up ontop of eveRything else! I suggest gatheRing up all the pieces of youR bRoken heaRt, and walking away fRom this Relationship!! And if you don't feel like his violence towaRds you is Reason enough to leave, then think of it this way: Love is RecipRocal, Hun... it's not just on sided. Why on eaRth would you botheR to give youR heaRt away to someone who's not willing to give you theiRs!? You need to use youR head, and think of youR OWN well being heRe! I wish you the best of luck!!

♥[?]♥ ok, all of my friends tell me just to make the first move on my boyfriend. but if we're in the movies, how am i supposed to just start making out with him!? HELP!
Just tRy Reaching foR his hand, oR laying youR head on his shouldeR; it doesn't Really matteR what you do, he'll Respect you foR being gutsy enough to go foR it! And being that he's alReady youR boyfRiend, I would assume/hope that he'll like the fact of you making the fiRst move, and engulf you in his aRms. I wish you the best of luck! I know you can do it; I have complete faith in you, so go get 'em, TigeR!! =D

♥[?]♥ lately i have been effin depressed and i dont know what to do about it so i cut myself to ease the pain when you cut you dont really feel anything and you dont really care if you hurt yourself i really dont know what to do about my problems my family life sux my parents are both drunks my mom smokes pot (i have a huge problem with these 2 things cuz im straight edge sxe allthe way!!!) they both smoke too. i hate them i hate them i hate them sooo fuckin badly i want to kill myself my life sux fuckin ass help...?
Hmm. Well, see.. I think you could look at this two ways and go fRom theRe. I think you can eitheR sit back and look at all the mistakes and fuck ups youR family has made and been thRough... and mope about it... ----OR---- you can sit back and look at all the mistakes and fuck ups youR family has made and been thRough... and pRomise youRself that you will do eveRything in youR poweR to make shoRe you don't end up like them, and that you will make the veRy best you possibly can out of youR life. PeRsonally, I'd go with the second one... it's just my peRsonality. HoweveR, it seems to me like you've made the fiRst choice; would my assumption by coRRect? And if that's how you feel... I can *COMPLETELY* undeRstand that 100%!!! HoweveR, self-mutilation simply *WILL NOT* fix things, it can only incRease the seveRity of youR pRoblems; in shoRt, it's not an appRopRiate oR helpful solution. TheRe aRe many diffeRent ways to let out youR emotions than what you have choicen. I think if you just make a point of setting aside some time to be spent completely on youRself doing the things you love to do, you could be able to calm down quickly. Just tRy doing whateveR makes you happie! FoR instance, foR me.. my life is music, so I cRank up my steReo and staRt belting out song afteR song. I find that this woRks foR me eveRytime and even puts me in my cheeRiest mood all day. So if you like to paint... PAINT... if you like fashion, tRy mixing and matching things in youR closets to foRm new outfits. Also, you could tRy meditating, that helps many people Relax and Relief stRess. And how about studying?? I'm not awaRe if you attend school oR not, but use youR paRents as a motivation to do well and be all you can be, so studying will shoRely do well foR you. I'm soRRie if this wasn't what you wanted to heaR. But you should know that I'm *ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS* heRe if you EVER need anyone to talk to, be it by aim, telephone, oR emails... you can definitely find a fRiend in me. Anything I can do to help you, I will ceRtainly be moRe than willing to give it a go. I'm soRRie theRe's not moRe at this point that I can help you with; just don't be afRaid to contact me. I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope eveRything woRks out. I wish you well. aim: SiMPLY x GiRL

♥[?]♥ are men (guys) supposed to masterbate?
Yes; it's theiR God-given Right. Some people say it's a Sin... I say, just let it take you oveR. Hope this claRifies! =D

♥[?]♥ Okay, my boyfriend and I have been together for 5 1/2 months now. Anyway, at the beginning ont the relationship we'd be so eager to talk to eachother, and talk on the phone every night, and ditch friends for eachother, etc.

Now, we don't talk on the phone for periods of time. (Right now it's been 11 days since I've talked to him on the phone) And we hang out amazingly less, and I don't feel the urge anymore to check the computer every 5 minutes to see if he's online. When I do get to talk to him, I feel so uninterested. I could honestly go days without talking to him, and it wouldn't bug my anymore. Sometimes I cry because I don't understand what's happening, and it really upsets me. Could it be that I'm just losing interest/we both are in eachother? :(

Tuesday night on AIM I told him that I felt I was losing interest in him, and he repsonded, "Geez, I like you a lot, I can't just stop." Then he put up an away message that said, "I fucking screwed up somehow." And signed off. We eventually resolved the problem, but I feel I lied. I told him I still did like him, and I was stupid to say that. But really, I feel EXACTLY like that. I'm not as interested. What's happening? Do I WANT to get over him or something..?

Thank you.
FRom the way you've descRibed it, it *does* seem like the two of you have lost inteRest in one anotheR. It's impoRtant to RemembeR that moving on and gRowing apaRt happens to many many people in a Relationship, so it's definitely not uncommon. And yes, I would assume that you do want to move on. If you didn't, you would have been up his ass calling him foR those 11 days in which you have not spoken. I'd say the two of you need to sit down and calmly spill youR honest feelings. PeRhaps togetheR the two of you can come up with an appRopRiate solution to the pRoblem. HoweveR, if you ask me, it doesn't seem like the Relationship is salvagable, because fRankly... if theRe's no inteRest... theRe's just no inteRest.. I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully I've helped!!

♥[?]♥ What things make your face break out or makes you get pimples?
Many things: Chocolate, tomatoes, stRess, make up, touching youR face, and neglecting to wash youR face...

♥[?]♥ i cant stop bitting my nails and my mom wont let me get acurlic is there anthing that will make them grow ffaster or make me stop bitting thx bunches!
Well, I bite my nails so faR down until they bleed... then I paint them with RegulaR nail polish. See, I bite my nails befoRe I paint them, because I can't stand having long fingeRnails. I've noticed that the day afteR... liteRally.. the DAY afteR I have just painted them... they've almost completely come back!! It's cRRaziieee; veRy annoying, so I must bite them again!! While it's tRue that eveRyone's haiR and fingeR nails gRow in on theiR own time peRiod, peRhaps this might woRk foR you?? And if it doesn't make them gRow in quickeR, the pooR taste and flakiness of the polish may pRevent you fRom biting them in the futuRe. Hope this helps?? =D

♥[?]♥ I have seen my report card since 8th grade (I'm now in 11th). Ever since my sister started high school (she's a year older than me) she started throwing away both of our report cards because she doesn't want my parents to see them. My parents did notice at first and called the schools and everything and they schools told them that they don't know what's going on because they've been sending them. So, my parents kind of forgot about it. I didn't really care about it but now I do! I have no idea how I'm doing in school. I think I'm failing half my classes but I don't actually know. I have no idea what my GPA is either (we get it in about 3 weeks but I don't know what to expect). It's completely unfair that I don't get so see my report card because my sister doesn't want my parents to see hers. I've told her before to just throw hers away and not mine but she was like "No, then they'll figure it out." I've also tried asking her to at least just let me see it and then she can throw it away. She agreed at first but then "accidentally" threw it away. She already got into the college she wanted to get in and my parents are all proud of her and whatnot so I don't get it! What else should I do? And no, I won't tell my parents about it. Other than this, my sister and I are really close so I don't want to do that to her.

♥[?]♥ This morning, I woke up and I noticed there was a tiny white dot/ball on my upper eyelid. It kind of hurts when I move my eye. Does anyone know what it is and how it got there? How do I get rid of it?
Hmm... maybe it's Milia [also known as a 'sty']?? FRom what I've always undeRstood... Milia appeaRs as tiny white dots/lumps on the face. They'Re simply swollen sebaceous glands caused by Retaining keRatin in an oil gland duct -- I've heaRd they disappear on their own. Hope this helps!!
