Well, In the college, I see a cute girl roaming here and there. I neither know her name nor her class of study. I extremely like her. But she seems 24/7 busy on mobile talking...and moreover, she sometimes stands with guys and talk for which I don't feel well.
First time about 3 months back I saw her in the liberary and lovingly looked at her,,, at the same, time she also kept looking at me with showing deep interest to interact... Every college day I was roaming around and finding her and just kept looking...she seems interested in me, but, I'm not sure, if she has a boyfriend cause, she is always on the phone. What I want is how to ask her out, so that, I can not be seemed bad or crancy guy to her...an interactive way to seem cute and good boy to her? Thanks in advance.

Well the only way to find out that she has interest in you is to tell her that you like her. She might seem busy but you'll probably find some time to talk to her. And if she still seems to busy for you to talk to her then find out who her friends are and have them tell them, or have them tell you when she has time off. You also don't know if she has a boyfriend right? So she'll probably tell you if you get to talk to her. But it might be hard to tell her but thats the only way to find out how she feels. I hope everything goes well for you!


I have this friend Jessica. She used to be my best friend, a few years ago, and I was always good friends with her until recently because I've realized she is just not a good friend... I've always known she wasn't the greatest friend but I still liked hanging out with her before. I'm friends with mostly guys, and her and a few other girls are my only girl friends really. So whenever I hang out with my other girl friends she gets mad at me. And whenever I talk to my guy friends she thinks I'm flirting... she has no idea what flirting is obviously? She's so annoying... I mean she gets mad at me if I don't call her to invite her somewhere. She shouldn't expect me to invite her anywhere. First of all, I never invite anyone anywhere, I just go along with the plans I hear from my friends (and I tell her this all the time), and second, she is always such a jerk! She literally asked out the guy I said I liked the same MINUTE I told her I liked him. I was shocked. I'd never do that to anyone, let alone my "best friend". She disses a lot of my friends too, who I love to death, mostly my best guy friend. I tell him everything and he's really important to me, but if he just gives me a hug or something she'll be like "oh my gosh stop raping her!" WTF?? She also tried to convince me to get back with my ex boyfriend who just used me, and was pretty much the definition of an asshole, after it took me so long to break up with him. I know I am the kind of person who lets people walk all over them, I know I am too nice, but I don't want to change myself. I can't stand hanging out with someone who gets mad at me every other day for no reason, insults my friends constantly, and can't watch out for me correctly. I don't know if it's jealousy maybe? I have a lot more friends than her because not many people like her, and I am not trying to be conceited in any way, but I've heard plenty of guys say I'm hot and I don't think she's ever heard a guy say that to her. I never get mad at my friends, I watch out for them, I love them and I'm always there for them. I expect my friends to do the same, and she has been really ridiculous lately. I can't keep ignoring her calls and blowing off our plans because she keeps getting angrier and my whole life would just get thrown off balance and everything would be really awkward because our parents are friends and since we were good friends before we've had a lot of traditions. I just want her to know that she can't expect me to trust her with my secrets and to hang out with her every chance I get if she's going to be such a bitch to me and all my good friends. Really, none of my friends like her... she thinks they do... it's kind of sad. I feel bad and I guess that's half the reason I don't completely ditch her... I don't want to leave her friendless. She's the type of person who will not take anything as a lesson, she only hears what she wants to and she thinks she's better than everyone else in every aspect, and if she isn't she'll be mad. She asks me for advice, and when I tell her what I think but it isn't what she wants to hear she gets mad. I'm so sick of it. I can't tell this to her face. I have no idea how to go about this. Help?

Sorry that was so long! (link)
You either need to make your point to her about how she has been acting. And that if she keeps it up you can't handle her anymore. I know it will be hard to tell her that, I know how you feel, but everybody has got to stand up for themselves once in awhile right? If she is mean to all your friends and to you too. Then why should you hang out with her? Soon she will get the picture and notice what she is doing.


this might get confusing. ive been dating the same guy for almost three years. i'm a junior in high school and he's a senior. him and i have gotten into fights where i cry a lot, which makes my parents like his less, but something bad happened to him monday night. his dad beat him and he left his house to go to wisconsin where his aunt lives. (his parents are divorced btw), but his mom won't let him go back to his dad's house, so he can't finish school here in IL if he can't find somewhere to stay here by this sunday. he would have to go to school at his moms house in indiana.

this is where the conflict comes in.. i'm trying to think of ways to convince my dad of letting him stay at our house at least for a little while. he'll be graduating in less than 3 months, and then going to college. my mom said if it were up to her, he'd be able to stay, but it's my dad that i'm worried about. so what are things i could say to convince my dad? he would not get in the way of any regular activity, he'd follow regular curfew rules, etc. someone help me!! (link)
You and your mom are up for it right? The both of you should go up to him at the same time and talk to your dad. Tell him that its not just to lose your boyfriend its for his education here. And tell him he won't get in the way of regular activities and he'd follow curfew rules. And tell him that his family is having problems right now and he really needs a place to stay. I hope everything goes well for you!


Well, my problem is that I can't let myself get close to anyone really emotionly. I feel like a put up a sheild to hide who I really am. I want to know how I might be able to let myself express me for who I really am. And this also affects me being able to get close to anyone in a relationship sort of way.

Any Ideas? (link)
Lots of people can't open up and show who they are. Its great to have emotions and why do we have them if we can't use them? So get a friend a talk to her and let it out and then you'll soon find yourself opening up. You just have to put your mind to it. Like when your talking to someone you might not open up much but then after awhile then you'll find yourself opening up. You might also need to get to know the person. I hope everything goes well for you!


Okay so theres this guy that i like and we've dated for 9 months and we just broke up but were still kinda together just without the title.. and theres this other guy whos sooo cute, funny, hes in swing dance [[mypartner]], and hes a thesbian [[actor]] and i like him and he seid he liked me but i cant get over teh other guy and i dont wanna hurt him or anything and i dont wanna hurt the other one eaither i mean i like both of them.. im only 15 so i dont wanna like be together with anyone 4 ever not till im older but i realli dont no what to do anymore.. i also can switch schools if i want to and i cant diside if i want to and get away from it all and start over or just face my problems.. (link)
You've dated this guy for 9 months right? And you don't want to be with them forever? Then go for the other guy. You don't need to switch school because of guy problems. You just need to face it and not run away. I know you don't want to hurt the guy that your with but you can also give the other guy a chance.


I have a friend that has lived with both of her parents all of her life. They have always had problems and got divorced about a year ago but her mom can't make it on her own so her dad still lives with them. This is hard for my friend because she is just 14 and doesn't understand. Her dad has a problem with alcohol and when he drinks they all fight and she gets mad and says things she doesn't mean. How do I help my friend know that everything is going to be okay? (link)
You just need to tell her and comfort her and be there for her. Find time for you guys to hang out like go to the moviess, go for ice cream stuff to get her mind off it. Also for more fun get more people to like throw a party or go out somewhere and have some fun! It would make her feel better especially if she knew her friend was there for her!


Ok there is a dance at my school, and im going to ask my ex to dance, we broke up cause she wasnt felling it :( . Anywho I was wondering if it is ok to whisper in her ear somthing like I still love or I miss you. Is it ok? She wants to be just friends and her step sister said " dont she will be a dink " but I dont want her to go out with me again out of guilt. But I would also like to no some other things I could say, something affective! But this is a Junior high dance im in grade 8 and she is in grade 7 but were both 13. I need help real bad! (link)
Sometimes the confused and that she wasn't sure who she likes usually is an excuse and sometimes its true that their confused. Dancing with her is cool but even if you still like her don't wisper it in her ear. It might make her feel weird. Give her some space if she still liked you she would probably tell you. But so far the relationship is over and it happens to basically everyone and they are just gonna have to accept that.


Aright I have this friend and we get in aruments ALOT were fine by ourselfs but not around our other friends i dont know why it's so gay... and people tell us and i know its gonna get worse in our middle teens... please help♥
Thanxs (link)
Whether its a screaming match or the silent treatment, a fight isn't fun for anyone. A silly misunderstanding can turn into a big blowup and make you forget why you ever became friends in the first place! But everyone argues even good friends. Understanding why you're fighting , and knowing how to fight fair, can mean difference between making up and breaking up.

Don't argue just to prove a point. Know the difference between sharing important feelings and dragging out a silly disagreement.

Sometimes people take their problems out on their friends without realizing it. Think about why your fighting: Are you really mad at each other, or could something else be bothering one of you?

Also its how people act like people who bosses their friends around and tries to control everything. Or forces a friend to choose between them or another friend. Also makes promises and then dosn't follow through. And definetly shares a friends top-secret new to impress other people. A talks about people behind their backs, points out how much better they are than everyone else, and thinks teasing their friends is funny even when it isn't.


I really like this guy and he knows but he said I'm not ugly he just dont want a gf right now, and hes not really aloud, but he does anyway! but i dont know what do do I'm not sure if i know what love is but i think I'm in it...
What do i do?♥ (link)
Well he just might not be interested. Dosn't mean he hates you and dosn't mean he likes you that way, just as a friend. Nobody can tell you when you love someone, only you can. Sometimes you feel nervous around that certain person and sometimes you get that feeling inside hmm....how should I put this...like going on a rollercoaster. That funny feeling. You just have to feel if you love someone.


Well i have this best fired and i used to like him a year ago and now i find out that he thinks that i like him again how do i get him to know that i dont like him? (link)
Tell him and if you have any other friends that know you use to like him then also have them tell him because he will probably believe them. That is the best thing to do. I hope everything goes well for you!


Hey. Well I'm thirteena and in seventh grade and I like someone who's14 in 8th. See, I don't know if I like him or not. Becuase like, somedays, [when I was going out with him] I'd be thinking and I'd just be like "Uhg, I really don't wanna be with him." Then other days I really like him. What's wrong with me? (link)
Nothings wrong with you. Lots of girls are like that with older guys even if they are a year older than you. Maybe you don't want to be with him because he acts immature? They act immature one day and the next they act real sweet. Guys never grow up, well most of them but even when they are adults they act like kids sometimes.


ok soo there's this boy who likes my friend.. and he told me that he's going to ask her out tommorow since its valentines day tommorow... well he's always flirting with me.. like he'll tickle me and hug me.. and my friend told me that she doesn't like him.. and he probobly likes me... but im not sure.. and im confused.. i've never had a valentine/ boyfriend so yah...

so what should i do? i need an answer a.s.a.p. (link)
If he tickles you and hugs you then he might like you and just make you think that he likes your friend. Your friend also told you that she dosn't like him so if he does ask her then she probably wouldn't go out with him because you like him. Just see what happens tomorrow and that will clue you in on whats going on.


my sister really likes a boy in school but the one bad thing is that he does drugs and my sister really does not no right from wrong even though she is 14 and yet she still likes him and she thinks that if she is with him 24-7 then he will become clean but he has told her that he has quit 3 times and all 3 times he has let her down, and now she has become a total bitch to everyone around her includeing me and her best friend for 9 years this is total bull shit please help what should i do and say to her to get her to relize the truth and that a person is resopsable for what they do not her and that if she wants him clean then leave him alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



thanks a million

She isn't gonna relize what she is getting herself into. She needs to relize it herself. There is nothing you can do to stop her. Yeah once she hangs around people who aren't very good she will turn out like them. Just hope she dosn't start doing drugs too. If you try talking to her then she will go for him even more so don't try that or else she will cling on.


This might sound really lame but here goes anyway...

The weather today is really bad (snowy), but the main streets and the ones in my neighborhood have been plowed.

Tonight my boyfriend called me and asked if I wanted to do something. I said yeah, but I have to call you back in a little bit. He said okay. I called him back later and said to just come over and we can watch a movie or something. He said he didn't want to drive in this weather...HE LIVES TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM ME and our neighborhood had been plowed already too!

Why do you think he did that? When he said that I was just like "okay..." what should I have done or should I do?

Help?

Thanks... (link)
Maybe his street wasn't plowed or something like that but I don't think he was making an excuse for you not to come. My mom says that alot when its raining or something its because she just didn't want to drive in the bad weather. But I don't think he really ment anything about that.


I have a question about my hair. Its passed my shoulders by a couple inches or so, and i was wondering how could i style it? My hair is naturally quite straight and its getting boring just leaving it the way it is all the time.

I was thinking of dying it as well like have blonde at the top and black on the bottom layer, would that be any good? I just want different ways of styling my hair so it doesnt look boring all the time. Mind you, if i try and curl my hair, its really really hard to.

Any suggestions would be awesome, thanks. =) (link)
You don't need to color your hair to make it look different. You can put it back in a pony tail unless it would fall out if it is short. Or just accesserize it with stuff, put it back in a clip or headband too. But if you want to color it you can. I hope you are happy with your hair!


Me and a friend saw eachother at a dance last friday and there was a lot of flirting. This friday we're seeing eachother again. Last friday he said he was going to dance with me at the dance this coming friday. The thing is he has a girlfriend and when it comes to dancing i freak dance. I told him "yea ill dance with u....but what about ur....nevermind?"...then he said "Girlfriend?"...i said "yea!"....he told me "dancing is dancing". So i don't know if its going to be wrong to freak with him while he has a girlfriend?...also i can't stop flirting with him because he flirts with me....What should i do??? (link)
Ask him if it is alright if you freak dance with him since he has a girlfriend. Yeah it would be hard to stop flirting if he is so ask him about it and that should solve your problem.


So I like this boy right. Except he's pretty shy. and well let's just say I'm pretty outgoing. I don't really talk to him, like I've talked to him once. And I don't want to randomly talk to him all the time and him be like "wtf why does this girl keep talking to me?!". I don't have any classes with him so I don't know how to start a conversation with him. I have lunch with him and I'm friends with his friends. How should I handle this situation? Any ideas? Thanks so much! (link)
Hey, you said you sit with him at lunch so just talk about what you do in school even though you guys don't have classes together, you can talk about what you like, what you did the other day. You know stuff like that. Yeah you don't want to just go up and randomly start talking to him like sit with him and like oh yeah that reminds me when I fell in the lunchroom! lol. Or something like that you know. I hope it all works out for you!


I have a question...
I'm a girls and are you supposed to shave down there? Do a lot of girls do it? (link)
No you don't have to. Its mostly for girls who like go to the beach or something a wear bikini's so you can but some don't.


I'm sixteen now and I've never had any desire for a boyfriend. I've never had one, either. It's not like guys don't flirt or ask me out, I'm just never interested. So it's not a self-esteem issue or anything. About two years ago I met this guy at a show and I was just, like, instantly infatuated with him. He told a few of my friends that he thought I was pretty, and I was happy, and I smiled at him a lot and he smiled a lot at me and then one day I just didn't see him at shows anymore or at school and it just stopped. I know he's still around, my friends know him. My point is that I can't stop thinking about this kid. I feel like I compare every other boy to him and I barely know him. What can I do to stop thinking about him? (link)
You hardly know him right? You should find him and talk to him and see how good of a guy he is. To stop thinking about him would be really hard especially since you had no desire for a guy before. So trying to forget about would be one of the hardest things on the list.


I really like this guy named Chris, and I think he might like me too but I'm not sure. He's kind of shy but whenever I talk to him in person he laughs a lot at all of my jokes. But, I don't have any classes with him so I can hardly ever talk to him unless we're both at school early or something. Our school has laptops and we have emails for our school so we email each other all night basically. I tried to ask him who he likes but all he said was "I don't Know who I like". Earlier I had asked Ben, one of his friends to find out who he likes, but they told him I wanted to know. Tonight Chris said "I really don't know who I like but you can keep asking Ben ;-)". A long time ago he liked me a lot but I told him I just wanted to be friends. I really want to be with him, it would be so fun to have a boyfriend for Valentine's Day, but I don't know if I should just tell him I like him, or if that would be too bold. I think he probably knows I like him anyway, but how do I find out if he likes me? Help! (link)
I think you should just tell him. If you think he might already know you like him then just tell him and he might have the same feelings for you and most likely he'll tell you!
