Q: Okay so I liked my friend Nick all last summer and parts of this year. We had stopped talking whenever I didn't like him, but the other day I was like I miss you we haven't talked in forever and hes like yeah are you going to my baseball game tomorrow? and I told him I would, so I went and it was delayed when I got there, and I was about to leave but he saw me and he goes HEYY MELISSA!!! so I decided to stay because they started playing, and he got a run so I texted him and was like
me: goodjob nick(:
and then it got delayed again, so I left, but the game got cancelled so he answered me
nick: ha no I did really bad pitching
me: no you did a good job, and I say your good so thats all that matters :]
nick: yeah whatever :]
me: did you hear me scream?
nick: no why did you scream?
me: because my hair was so messed up from the rain
nick: oh ha I didn't get a good look at you
me: oh be lucky you didn't
nick: why do you say that
me: nick you've never thought I was pretty.
nick: naww, I think your cute.. deece ha.

And that is a plus because he never thought I was cute he would always just say deece, and he isn't the type that will say that to make you feel better about yourself or anything.

So anyways, I went to this dance and he was there and he came over and was making fun of me because of how short I am, then he had a lollipop in his mouth and I told him I wanted it so I took it and he didn't care at first but I didn't put it in my mouth because I had gum, so then he started fighting me for it and I gave it back and he was like WHORE YOU DUMP MY FRIEND IN A DAY! and I was like Nick I didn't like him you know that.. You knew I liked you and he walked away and then Get Low came on and I was dancing and he said I dance crazy ha and he called me a whore again so I slapped him. Then whenever I would look at him he would come over, and my friend Taylor started grabbing his butt and balls and she tried to steal his lollipop too but he didn't let her take it, and then he told me she was pissing me off and to slap her but I wouldn't. Then a slow song came on and he said I NEED SOMEONE TO DANCE WITH! And his friend Ben was like I WILL! so they did jokingly, and then I had to leave so I gave him a hug, and I started to walk away and he goes have you ever wanted to be tall? and I said yeah so he picked me up and held me for awhile until my friends were finally like awl mel we have to leave, so we started to walk away and he came so I asked if he was leaving and he said No I'm saying bye to T and so we were waiting to get stuff and I stood by him and I was looking at him and he asked what I was looking at and I said nothing and laughed and walked away.

I was texting him when I came home and I was like
Sorry for slapping you tonight I feel really bad
Nick: no its okay I'm used to, that was a solid punch I'm proud of you :]
me: ha thanks I could have slapped you harder but I didnt want to hurt you or anything
he said something i forget ha but he made this smiley like (::)
me: what is that?
nick: a double back to back smiley
me: did you make that yourself?
nick: yes
me: ha goodjob wanna cookie?!
nick: yup i do!
me: haha cookies sound really good right now imma make us some, dudee tonight was fun sorta, I miss hanging out with you
Nick: okay? do you like me now?
me: do you like me?
Nick: yeah
me: no you don't
Nick: yeah I know sorry ha, but do you likey me
Me: i dunno I thought I did but it's just pointless because were just friends and I sort of like someone else but they are being gay
Nick: oh okay well i gotta go forreal my phone is flashing up low battery bye bye.

I haven't talked to him since and that was Thursday, I tried to text him but I did at like 2 in the morning so he was sleeping and then I did last night at like 10 PM, but he never answered. And today[July 1] is his birthday.. So I probably will text him and say Happy birthday but I'm not going to text him until Thursday because I don't want to get annoying. But what do you think I should do? And do you think I actually have a chance this time, because I think he likes me? Thanks!

Um yea...That was alot.
I think he is playing head games with you.
You might to need to just be his friend. Seems like he cant make up his mind and he likes to act an ass in piblic.
Tex him and tell him happy birthday and dont worry about him texing back. Then Dont tex him anymor, ANYMORE AT ALL. until he texes you. Then you will know if he is being nice or if he likes you.

Q: For my first car i want a fast car but it has to be automatic... I don't want it to be too expensive cuz ya know I'm not made out of money unfortunately =[... Got any idea's? I was thinking like a Mazda 6 obviously used but even that sounds a little pricey. None the less got any ideas?

Why dont you go out and look for cars?
Go to a car lot that sells used cars, and take a look.

BUT the best cars are hondas!! lol They are fast and automatic and lets not forget, gas efficent!!

Q: Ok. I am going to use real names because I don't feel the need to hide this.

I have a friend Taylor. We have been good friends for a while. I also have a best friend Dave.

Dave and Taylor were together, but not going out. They really liked eachother, understandable right?

Taylor "broke up" with Dave, then hated him for the last 4 months. For no reason at all, just wouldn't talk to him and made fun on him constantly. Dave hurt for a while, but finally got over it.

Dave and I have been extremely close ever since we met. Dave and I now are kind of, as you can say, together.

Ever since Dave and I have been together, Taylor has been trying to talk to Dave again, and asks me ridiculous questions about me and him and what we do. She said that him her and can only be enemies, or lovers. So what does that mean? If she is trying to talk to him, that might mean she wants to be lovers with him.

She insists she is over him and does not want him, but why is she constantly asking me about it? And flipping out on me about him. I think she still has feelings for him, which is understandable. But she has hated him for 4 months, and Dave would try to talk to her, but she was just such a BITCH to him that he got over her.

It's not my fault me and him like eachother, we cannot control feelings. I understand where she is coming from because it is her ex, but still, they are over, and she knows it.

I don't know what to do. I do not what to loose either of them. Taylor is just being very immature about this and said she might as well go hook up with my ex boyfriend Justin, so I would know how it felt.

Dave and I have been through A LOT together. Like, a mad amount of stupid shit we have done and gotten in trouble for. Taylor seems like it is right to bring those mistakes up to make me sound like a bad person.

I tried talking to her so many times.
Now I am thinking I should just end it wtih Dave so this whole thing would stop, no matter how much I don't want to.

Someone please help me, I really don't know what to do.

The "rule" is,
Friends dont date friends exes.

Thats basically what she is trying to say.
And im sorry but she is right. Just like when she said she would date justin just to show you how it felt. Its like a slap in the face to her. Even If she did so called hate him for four months. Which I highly doubt. She was just putting up a front on now, shes jealous.
If Taylor's friendship is important to you then its best that you and Dave stay friends.
Boys come and go, but friends are forever...

Q: OK, i wear a size 3 in pants, and a medium in shirts. I didnt know I was that tiny! I mean I want to keep my body this size, but how? Can some one help me plz?

Exercise and eat right. Just stay active and dont eat because your bored or anything like that. Even if your just walking. Thats good on your whole body.

P.S.

Yea thats normal. Some people that are very active feel like Junk food gives them more energy. And its quicker easier etc. Get some healthy junk food like some cereal bars are something. They taste good and their good for you.

Q: 13/f, i am the youngest of quite a large family. 8 children to be exact, and some of you know how terrible it is to be the youngest. As you know im 13 and i have 5 older sisters, and 2 older brothers. The sister right infront of me is 14, we were bestfriends when we were little. Now she is the most meanest person in the whole intire family, everyone is mean to me, always against me, telling me how stupid i am and immature. In the family everyone has there friends, my first 3 sisters are like best friends and my 2 brothers are bestfriends, and my two other sisters are best friends. Now im on my own, all i have is myself :[ i feel so terrible and unwanted. even my mom gives everyone else more attention and money and time.

how can i help myself not feel so crappy?

thanks :D

Get out more. Go spend time with your friends.
Try doing more stuff on your own and not worry about them. Like you said your the youngest, so of course they are going to call you everything that they do. Have you ever talked to your mom about it and told her How you felt? Do that! Where is you dad? If your mom wont listen, write her a note and leave it somewhere You know she is definately going to look. She is going to be nosey enough to read it trust me.

Q: Hi, I have virgin mobile. and my phone shuts itself down and then turns back on randomly. its always done this and my sister has this phone also and hers does not do this. now its also deleting all my inbox texts, and not letting me send txts really. and it just froze a second ago, and i had to shut it down, but it wouldn't at first. whats going on with my phone? its a switchback.

Your phone has a shotrage. It could have been caused by anything. It could be something that went on at the manufactures. The best thing for you to do is buy a new one.

Q: So I want my boobs to get bigger but I'm really small and I've read that one way to make them bigger is weight gain but I've tried to gain weigth and it doesn't work at all. My dads side of the family are late bloomers, and are tiny but I'm still afraid that I will be very very small chested when I'm older even though my mom isn't. I'm 15 too and haven't started my period I mean I have pubic hair and I discharge but haven't started it's a little embarrasing!

well When your period finally does come, you will grow some. Even if its just a little. AND dont rush it. Because after you have it for a while you would wish it was gone!!

Q: to be on the high school basketball team havin no experience
and is goin into sophomore year
and wat ways can i accomplish this
thanx

Practice. Study the sport. You want to know what someone is talking about when they say pick and roll. lol. Watch it on tv so you can imatate what you see.

Q: What are some cardio exercises I can do at home to get a flat stomach? Thanks.

I reccomend situps and crunches. Not exactly cardio but it helps. And bringing the new up towards your stomach one leg at a time. works the bottom part of your stomach.

Q: Theres this guy i love alot we were together for like a year and he brokeup with me and hes always on myspace i type him all the time he harldy typed back i nevr can see him beacuse he moved far and he lives with his friends what should i type him i mean give me some sayings.beacuse i always tolled him how i feel he calls me obsssed i dont no what happend to us..help me.

You do sound a little obessed...
By him telling you this what he really want you to do is leave him alone. So do just that. Leave him alone.

BUT

If you feel like you just really NEED to talk to this guy, Ask him what happened? Why did we break up? And if he tells you, that might give you a little closure.

Q: theres only so much i can do. next year my dream is to play soccer for my middle school team.. im in 8th grade, and i didnt make the team while i was in 7th. i've only played 3 seasons of rec soccer and then i couldnt really run that fast.. i mean i can run fast in games, because im determined to kick the other players asses, but when we just have to run freely i dont really have motivation, and get tired easily. so i bombed that and didnt even make the B team. im wondering what to do.. cross country, and get better at running, or go for my soccer dreams again? or i was wondering if they'd let me join cross country (you dont need to try out fot it) if i dont make it into soccer.. though i'd miss the first practice for cross country which is the same day as soccer tryouts. ugh, i really wanna play a sport. and in winter i've been playing basketball for many years in recreation, but i dont think im that good enough for the school team. well i didnt try out last year cause i was in a diff club, but i dunno about that, since im also doing club volleyball (theres no school team) in the winter. along with that, i wanna do dance during the year and i cant do too much stuff in the fall, like if i dont make my school soccer team i can join club soccer for the first time, well if i make it hopefully, and i cant do cross country, dance, soccer, while maintaining good grades. ugh but i really wanna do it all. it sucks that i like so many sports but i have to give some up cause im either not good (im only really good at vball but the school team is in high school) or i dont have enough time or money for. what do you think i choose? im so confused and i have to hand my permission slip for school soccer or cross country in like 10 days. :(

If you dont have motivation during soccer practice they arent going to let you play during a real game so cross that off your list.
Cross Counrty is fast but paced running. And thats all really. Dancing is hard work. Really hard work. Bur I would go with dance. Try out for your school basketball team. You could be pretty good since you been doing it for years.

I know you may LOVE volleyball, But you might to give that up if you want to be more involved in school activities.

Q: i do not eat red meat red meat or pig.
i was a vegetarian [1 year] but then i switched to
just staying away from red meat/pork about, 6 months ago . and about a couple times a week i will eat chicken or fish maybe.

what are some good recipes to get protein, and feel refreashed and not sleepy all the time.
i know i dont get enough protein.
how can i change this without changing
me eating red meat or pork. and keeping the

what are some good ways to feel full
and not just eat carbs the whole day?

Do you take vitamins? That can help. Also they have stuff in the store like boost, A drink similar to slim fast that has vitamans and protein in it.
Beans are good too. Try beans and rice.
There are so many different types of beans you will never get bored. And How about turkey? That gives you better options too. Try stuff like tuna helper. Its like hamburger helper, except it uses tuna. Thats simple and full of nutrients.
And also with hamburgerhelper, you can sub the beef for turkey.
Those are all simple, and you will fill full.

Q: what is it/how do you do it

thanks

spooning is basically another word for cuddling. Making out, or somethinf of that nature. Like foreplay, but not hard core foreplay.

Q: i have a problem with finding my g-spot, and i dont even know if i have one. ive had sex with my boyfriend pleanty of times, and i've never orgasmed. It could be because he needs to get used to my body, but ive tried and i cant even find my g-spot. i've never orgasmed and it really sucks for my boyfriend when i have to tell him that i didnt. when i think i've found it, i feel like i have to pee or even do a little bit. how do i find it? how did you find it?

Someetimes when im on top I Have an orgasim. I dont really know how to explain how to find it. I guess All I can tell you is to buy a vibrator and see if you can find it that way....sorry.

Q: Hi, I'm 15/f.
Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, and I walk around, and open my eyes, it's all black and I can't see a thing. Then after a few seconds (around 10), the blackness clears and I can see everything fine again.
This has been occuring for a few years now.

Does this happen to anyone else? Why is it happening?

Thanks.

It sounds like your eyes are just a little sensative. It takes a second for them to ajust. Mine water profusely. lol For like ten minutes. and then they stop.
If you feel like something is seriously wrong go to the eye doctor.

Q: What do you wear to a wedding?
I don't think I have "nice clothes". I don't have a dress either.

I want to dress up nice for the occasion but I'm poor.

Help?

Dress pants and a nice shirt would do.
Anything that isnt jean material.
No tennis shoes, or sneakers.
Shirts no tshirts of course.

Q: i am not sure this category fits, but its the best i could choose..sorry

okay..so im a 15/f...almost 16 in october..

i have always lacked self-confidence, and i think i am really ugly and fat..but everyone always tells me im hott, but i honestly dont get it. when i look in the mirror i hate what i see..
i dont know if me being REALLY fat last year has anything to do with it. i lost over 40 pounds, but i still feel fat, even though i am in the healthy weight range, and i also have double d's, if that has any effect.

so i was wondering what i could do to make myself feel better? should i lose more weight? or what? any advice helps, and please be honest! thanks!

here is my myspace, if you wanted to see a picture of me..
myspace.com/THISisWHYimHOTTdoubleD

Your pretty to me.
You might still be struggling with your weight issues from back then.
You should focus on not wanting to be like that nomore not what you look likw now.
Should you lose more weight? Thats a hard question to answer considering your whole body cant be seen on your profile is private.

Q: ok so i just got out of a friends with benefits relationship with my best friend. it caused a lot of drama when our friends found out about it. we never had sex we just did other things. he said he wanted to stop so all the drama would finally end and because he wanted to date again. a week later after all of this we were at a friends house hanging out in his hot tub and another one of our guy friends had his arm around me and my ex friend with benefits wouldn't stop staring at me...and my chest. now he just texted me and he wants to get back together but as friends with benefits. but i like someone and im not sure if they like me and i know 3 girls like him. im not really planning on getting back together with him i just dont know what to say to him. help!

Tell him that you like someone right now and you want to see what is up with them before you jump back into it with him again.
The honest approach is always the best.

Q: so I hooked up with this freshman a few times and we are like friends who just hook up and hes moving in august to Colorado so i wont see him after Sunday because of camp.then last week at a party i hooked up with two people in front of him because I was drunk and i ended up doing more shit with one of the guys that he may or may not know about because we went into a room. He hasn't talked to me since and I want to talk to him and like be friends but its awkward. He hasn't said anything to me and we usually talk every night or every other night. What should I do?

Um wow you should just walk away from that situation. He is dissappointed in you right now. He probably like you more than just a friend.
BUT

Ifyou really feel like you need to talk to him, give him a call and say hi. If the end result is bad dont try that again.

Q: who is her mom?

Nicole richie as adopted, so her my would be lionel riches wife. I dont know her name but im sure you can google it.
