ask mackenzie





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!"

♥[?]♥ I've been going out with my boyfriend fro two months. well lately he's been acting odd lately, but not in a bad way. but hes been mentioning 'love' alot but never said 'i love you', for example we were talking about wat our last names meant and i said i didn't know what mine meant and he said '(his last name) loves'. its so odd because he makes sure that i know that he cares about me. dont get me wrong i love the fact that he cares about me because i care about him to, but i'm scared hes gunna say 'i love you' to me, becuase i dont love him, i care about him alot, but its not to the point of love. if he says it to me tho, what am i supposed to say? thanks for the help
-confused love
If you feel it.. SAY IT.. howeveR, love takes time, so if you don't say it.. he should undeRstand and Respect that!! Don't feel bad about it at all!! Often times people mistake "Love" foR "Lust", just tell him you want to make completely shoRe that you "Love" him befoRe you go aRound saying it. And think of it like this.. wouldn't you feel even woRse if you said it and didn't mean it?? Best wishes!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ ok... thers this girl that i kinda like a lil more than a freind but i have a girl that im happy with and i dont know if thsi grl fells the same about me. i dont know if i should just ask her how she feels or keep hiding the fact the i like her.
No, dude.. DEFINITELY go foR it!! You may find that he feels the SAME EXACT way!!!!! You can do it!! I have faith in you!! Goodluck!! I wish you the veRy best!! Hope I helped!!!

♥[?]♥ ok well I am Indian and my parents are like WAY over protective..and like they won't let me have a boyfriend until what? like I'm in colege or something!? I mean come on its on like old times anymore..Its like every Indian parent thinks that and it's just crazy...like I can't even have a guy come over...or like go to a guy's house just for FUN...even if they're my friends...HELP!
Dude.. tell them to chill out. It's no big deal, and you'Re getting oldeR.. tell them you'd REALLY appRecaite moRe fReedom!!! Goodluck; I wish you the best!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ do you think that it is weird that a 24 year old guy is dating a 16 yr old girl? i do but i need other opinions, the girl is my best friend and i dont like it. I need help on how i can be more open about the situation. please help!!!
Uhm, well yeah.. that *IS* a big deal. I'm ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL foR dating oldeR guys, but when the diffeRence is THAT gap.. things aRe too Risky! If they aRe sexually involved... and heR paRents find out.. he'll be in some BIG tRouble!! Just tell heR to be caReful.. theRe's a lot that could happen; it's definitely NOT the best idea!! I hope eveRything woRks out!!

♥[?]♥ i think i might have something wrong with my lungs. i get out of breath WAY too easy. i don't think i have athsma, cuz i've never had an attack, and i don't smoke, but my parents do. i'm getting bad grades in p.e. because i can't run. i COULD run...if i could breathe, because it doesn't tire my legs at all...but anyway, how can i tell if there's something wrong with me, or what do i do?
Uhm, I know this isn't something you HAVEN'T alReady heaRd, but I think the *best* way would be to see a doctoR. SoRRie I can't be of moRe help, but I wish you the best!!

♥[?]♥ What could I get for an aim sn? I'm not really fussy what kind. Just a girly sn!!
Uhm, you didn't leave any infoRmation about youRself foR us to go on; but I'll do my best. How 'bout: "WalkingBaRbie" --OR-- "StaRsWillFaLL" --OR-- "x X x SunTanNeDx" --OR-- "xRoXySuRfeRx" --OR-- "XeatXshopXsleepX" I don't know.. just be cReative! Goodluck!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ I have dark brown hair, blue/green eyes, tan skin, I'm 5'5, and I'm skinny. What kinds of makeup will bring out my eyes like eyeshadow? I'm a prep so I wear preppy clothes from American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale, Weathervane, Hollister, and other stores. Please help me with my makeup lol. Thanks
FoR foundation, I use 'CoveRgiRl's' "clean makeup FRAGRANCE FREE NON PARFUME 30ml" bottle. It glides on smoothly, and comes in *many* diffeRent shades, so you'Re bound to find a coloR that's peRfect foR you. With eyeshadow, I think a nice light gReen, soft pink, oR white would be a gReat choice foR you!! And heRe's a tip: to get youR eyeshadow to last alllllllllll day, put some body lotion, oR PetRoleum Jelly on fiRst, THEN apply the shadow. Also, theRe's this technique I do, called "Shadowing". It cReates this AWESOME smokey affect!! You simply put on the coloR eyeshadow you wish to weaR, then using a bRistle bRush, dab a bit of gRay eyeshadoW oveR it!! It's goRgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as foR eyelineR... when it comes to liquid oR pencil, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence. HoweveR, if you ask... MOST people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. theRe's a chance that the liquid may Ruin. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $15.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd PREFER "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! Goodluck!! I hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ If you say I don't kiss and tell are you saying I don't kiss a person and then tell if they were a good kisser or I don't tell who I kissed?

Also, i've heard the saying preaching to the choir a whole lot...what does it mean?

If you can answer only one it's fine. Just need this to clear up a little confusion!
"I don't kiss and tell" means.. I won't give details in the juicy encounteR. I don't know the otheR one though - neveR even heaRd it, soRRie! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ See I was goin out w/ this guy for lyk 2 months then one day he broke up w/ me...but the thing is i don't kno if he really broke up w/ me or if it was his brother that i think likes me to (they r the same age...my bf/x bf was adopted) but idk if my bf did break up w/ me or not my friends said that in his profile it still says that he loves me n i kno that he doesn't forget to take things like that out of his profile...but idk wut am i suppose to do i dont want 2 call him bc it will b to awkward n he is like never on IM so idk n if he did break up w/ me i want 2 kno why but i just feel way to weird tlakin 2 him on the phone n askin him that...plz help me wut should i do????
Well fiRst of all, he "he is like never on IM", then it *IS* veRy possible that he may HAVE foRgotten to take that paRt out of his info. And how long ago did this happen?? If it happened two oR moRe weeks ago.. then you should obvious consideR it oveR. I know this pRobably isn't what you wanted to heaR, but if you'Re STILL uncleaR, you Really SHOULD talk to him about it. Don't be afRaid to question him on it - you deseRve to know what's going on too!!! I suggest just coming Right out with it; don't botheR to beat around the bush.... this avoids the confusion. Goodluck!! Hope I helped!! Best wishes!! =D

♥[?]♥ i want to sleep with this guy, im a vrigin and im lil nerveous but i know im ready should i?

♥[?]♥ how do you get those cool backgrounds onto your advice column (im not that computer savvy) lol

♥[?]♥ I have 2 best friends who are leaving me out a lot lately, we used 2 b extremely tighht but now they're bein kinda mean. One of them is very controlling and the other is a follower so the follower follows the controller and they do stuff against me. I really hate it. I always feel like the second choice or the third wheel. What should i do... i rate high!
I know this pRobably isn't what you want to heaR, but just talk to them about it! Tell them you feel like they'Re leaving you out, and you'd appReciate it veRy much if they began to include you moRe! I suggest just coming Right out with it; don't beat aRound the bush - this way theRe's no confusion. It shouldn't Really be that haRd, and if they don't undeRstand and don't change.. then scRew 'em. Why be fRiends with someone who doesn't want YOUR fRiendship!! I hope things woRk out!! Best wishes!

♥[?]♥ whats a good way to ask a someone to hang out? especially when they are extremely unpredictable, and you dont know what they would say. also im very shy. oh, and you have asked them before to hang out, but just could never a good time. lol thanks
Just go foR. Don't beat aRound the bush!! Just come stRaight out with it so theRe's no confusion. Just ask him what he's doing this weekend, and then ask if he'd like to go see a movie, oR go to youR house, oR meet up foR pizza.. something along those lines. If you've neveR asked someone out befoRe, I know it seems like it's easieR said than done, but it's Really no big deal - you'll see! Goodluck!! Hope I helped!!

Nicknames usually come fRom a past expeRience. Think of one that has something to do with a past event; that's Really the best way, and it makes the most sense. If you STILL want some help.. tRy HumphRey! Goodluck; hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ I'm really attracted to my friend. Hes 17 years old and is a total hottie. I really would love to spend the rest of my life with him. He gives me chills down my spine to see him happy and when hes sad it kills me ... literaly. The only thing is, that is stopping me from being with him, is my religion. In my religion it is against my code to have sex with another male. What do you think i should do? I really want to be with him and have sex with him but when i do i feel bad... help please. im an 18 year old male. Weve known each other for 5 years now. please help.
Don't deny love - go foR it! =D

♥[?]♥ Hey. Well I'm going into middle school and I practicually know no one there. I am scared that I will not make any friends, and I keep getting scared over and over again just thinking about it. My school starts Aug. 23, and my orientation is tomorrow Aug. 19, and there's going to be 7th graders and new students there and the bus is picking us up. I'm pretty scared about that too, but more scared of the first day of school. Can anyone tell me how to calm down about this and give me motivation so I won't be so scared anymore, and tell me how to make friends early and quick. Thanx!, and I would really appreciate it if you answered my questions.
I know this seems typical, but just be fRiendly. Speak out in class - this is a GREAT way to get noticed. Say hello to fellow classmates if you see them in the hallway. Join some clubs also.. that's a good way to meet people; then Right off the bat you know you have something in common with them. And always smile.. smiles definitely get noticed! And wheneveR you see someone sitting alone at lunch oR in the moRning befoRe school, just walk Right up to them and be like, "Hey! How's it goin'?", oR if you have them in a class just say.. "Hey! ARen't you in my [whateveR class]" I know it seems difficult, but you just have to Roll with the punches. Be bold and talkative. Middle School is Really NO big deal, tRust me.. you'll do just fine!! I wish you the best of luck!! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ Ok well See i may have changed i dont know but im really confused of who i am. SOme of my friends want me to go back to my gurlie gurl fun normal self and some want me to stay my sorta Skater type self?! I want to g0 back and i dont ? I dont know! Im so confused ! Please help me!!!

Signed
*Confused~~
This pRobably isn't what you wanted to heaR, but only you can decide that. I say to just go with the flow foR now... no one says you have to be EITHER giRlie oR "skateR". SomewheRe in the middle is just fine!! I wish you the best of luck!! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ i am the kind or person that likes to keep things tom myself how can i get my mom to buy me tampons and let me shave my legs without saying it to her face?(hinting)
Well, when it comes to shaving.. I neveR asked my Mom. I just went out and bought the RazoRs myself, and went foR it. HoweveR, if you pRefeR an electRical RazoR... then I suppose *DO* you have to ask heR. It Really shouldn't be THAT embaRRassing.. I mean, Really.. it's expected. Just tell heR that you'd like to staRt shaving, and you'd appReciate if she could set you up with an electRic RazoR. And foR the tampons, you COULD wRite a note, but I think that would be moRe embaRRassing than asking heR. But I'd suggest the next time you'Re in the stoRe, gRab a package, and say, "Can I get these instead?". She *pRobably* won't have any objections, and she definitely won't judge you on it. Goodluck; I wish you the best of luck!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ My boyfriend and I have been going out for about 2 weeks now. Everything is going great, heck we're even going to the movies this weekend. But, I'm just not sure he likes me the way he says he does. Sometimes it seems like he just likes me as a really good friend. I guess what I'm trying to ask is..well do you know how I can find out if he really does like me the way I like him..
You could tRy telling him that it doesn't seem like he's seRious... just confRont him.. and ask him what the deal is. Don't woRRie about sounding Rude oR stepping out of line, because what's the point in being with someone who doesn't want to be with you?? You'Re just being a conceRned giRlfRiend. Goodluck!! I wish you the best!! Hope I helped!! =D
