advice

I like this boy called Daniel, but I don’t know what to do! Today in PE my friends were saying, "Let’s call Lauren's (my) crush Daz, as a code name. As in Daniel" (they have these sad code names for the boys they fancy, like carrot and cabbage). I didn't tell them that I fancied him, but they must know, and plus in art, one of them asked if I fancied Dan. I shook my head but I was smiling a bit so I guess they knew =( I'm really scared they'll tell him! he said he liked my drawing in art, and that it was better than his, and he kept touching my foot with his foot under the desk too. and my friend was making fun of me, and he stuck up for me, then he said "I'm only defending Lauren" when my mate asked why. that was a few days ago, and now he's just ignoring me (I think he was looking at me, but I was scared I would start blushing if I looked at him, so I guess I'm ignoring him too) I'm real shy + ugly lol so I don’t know what to do! I'd love to go out with him but I'm scared my friends would laugh because they always fancy popular, 'hard' boys who get into fights. Dan is really sweet and mature. and plus he probably doesn’t even like me =/ any easy tips on flirting for SHY people? 'Cos I’m not good at flirting lol =\ please help? Thanks =)

compliment him. if he says hi to you, wave like REALLY sexy, like just wiggle one finger at a time, smile, stand slightly to on an angle, and wink. hope i helped
p.s. my friends and i have really weird crush codes too. mine right now is 'coleslaw' haha

Well, My 5 year olf brother and I walked into the room my 16 year old sister and I share, and we saw her and her boyfriend having sex...

They didnt even know we were there for like two minutes... I was frozen, my feet rooted to the floor, but then finally my brother pulled me away... the problem is... My brother asked me, just as we walked out, "what were they doing there?"

I seriously dont know how to answer him... I mumbled something, but all week he's been persisting, and I need to give him an answer before he asks my parents and gets my sister into trouble... Please help!!!

tell him they had a health project for school and they had to search the opposite gender's body and explore the world of and opposite sex. hes 5, hell believe you. hope i helped

20, male.

Okay, the girl I'm going out with and I are sitting watching TV. We've only been dating for a few days, but I've been her friend since before elementary school. She mentions a mutual friend was talking about a movie that we passed. So I, the idiot that I am, accidently call her by the friend's name. She pulled away from me for a few seconds, and then went into my arms again.

I explained that it was only because she mentioned her name seconds before, but is that enough? Should I try to explain in detail that I have no feelings for this other girl or should I drop it?

you should tell your gf that you really love her. you should take her some where romantic to tell her. im not saying like spend all your money to take her to dinner. but this is my life long fatasy of what id want from my bf.... ask her what shes doing on friday after school, if she says nothing take her some where, dont tell her where though. take her to a feild one day and lay a blanket out in the middle of it and have a picnic/make out fest. shell know you love her after this.

Hey, I just got that Finishing touch hair removal thing. The reason I got it is because I'm deathly afraid of razors lol. Anyway, I wanted to know, if you have one, can you move it up and down on your finger while it's on OR off and it won't hurt and nick you? I know I shouldn't be afraid, because I know it's supposed to be painless and they even did that on TV, but I'm just so afraid of getting cut and everything. I just need to know for sure. Also, how good does it work and everything? Thanks!

they never nick or cut. it tickles a little though. hope i helped

I am a nineteen year old female living in Southern California. Years ago, when I was barely in elementary school, I was physically and sexually abused.

Though I believe I've moved past those issues, I notice that try as I might, I can't have an orgasm. I want to know how I would move beyond this problem and continue with my daily life.

Cheers.

ya know what? you dont need to have sex if your now ready. you were sexually abused thats like the saddest thing ever! if you cant have sex because of that then dont. then you can settle down, get married, and have kids. but if your still not ready to have sex then than you can adopt a kid. hope i helped

Well, me and my friend have been friends like forever. WE are bestfriends and our families are extremly close. Well, she has tried braking the relationship every month and 3 or 4 times a month. I am sick of it!! And starting to get sick of her fighting. She can be oh so nice and OH SO mean. We only fight online because she doesn't want to fight in person. I think she might want the relationship to end but I really don't know. She says she will always come back to me every time we fight but sometime I think she won't. I really don't want to lose her but maybe the next time we fight this may be the end to our relationship. I need some advice with that. She used to say how I get all the guys, and how I am not pretty, and also how I copy her, and junk but like I don't understnad her. I have tried not telling her more close things so if we do lose the relationship she won't really have anything to say to anyone about my secrets. But Like I need help on what to do with her.....

ignore her shes a bitch. then when she gets sad then be her friend again. hope i helped

Does anyone know a very good way to get rid of warts, like on your hands and stuff, because, I've tried so many products and they suck. So, does anyone have any recommendations?

go to your dermotologist and theyll remove them. it burns for a minute and stops. later theyll burn a little again. hope i helped

After begging my mom to take me to the doctors, she's finally going to (because I currently have a soar throat). I've been asking her to take me to get tested for anemia and ADD. Everytime I asked her she would say "I highly doubt you have ADD" and she would just snicker. So I have a soar throat now and I think she's making me drive to the doctors on my own (usually she goes with me). So for sure I'm going to ask about anemia and ADD. The only thing is, how am I supposed to bring it up.? I don't want to just say 'oh yea, I think I have ADD'. How should I bring it up without looking stupid? Should I tell her my situation first (about how I can't stay focused, etc) or should I ask what the symptoms are, or what? And what will they do to me (sometimes I think I have ADHD also) as far as tests and stuff, and will they do it then, or is it a process where I have to come back? And how will my teachers get notified? Will I tell them? Doctors note? etc... and since they'll know, what exactly will my teachers make me do because of it?
Please help...

you could say to the doctor that you feel sorta distracted a little and you think you may have ADD. or you could just say ithink i have ADD. and its spelled sore throat. not soar throat. hope i helped

My brother is 11 and he'll tell my parents whatever I do!! Someone please help me because this is gonna happen again tonite!!

tell your brother not to come with you any more.ask your mom and dad if you can drop him off at a friends house when you go somewhere. hope i helped.
