okay i know this may be a stupid question, but on myspace one of the choices for your relationship status is "swinger", what does that mean? i rate 5's for REAL answers. (link)
Basically, it's someone who is in a serious dating (or marriage) relationship and decides (with their partner) that it would be okay to see other people. Usually it doesn't stop at SEEING the person, they usually sleep with them. Married couples will exchange partners in bed and dating couples will be dating Person 1 and sleep with Person 2. Makes sense?

Would it be possible if a 14 yearold boy would like a 12 year old girl? She's sorta developed for her age. Or is it a waste of time?

Friend wanted to know (link)
I don't think it's a waste of time if you believe in her. (or he believes in her) My boyfriend is two years older than me. Though she IS young, you'll just have to be careful. If she's mature enough, and acts older than her age, then I'd say - if her parents are cool with it - go for it. Though, her parents might think that a fourteen year old boy is too old for their twelve year old daughter. Make sure the parents know and are okay with it, otherwise you could get in A LOT of trouble. Some twelve year old girls act like nine year olds; others act like 14 year olds. It just depends. When I was twelve, I didn't act like a twelve year old. I was - and still am - mature for my age.


I'd say that if you believe in her, and you think she will make a good companion for you, go for it. :-)

when youre a moderator and you rate questions, what do each face stand for?
(link)
The "happy face" [ :) ] is a 3. This is for super awesome amazing grand questions. If it has really good spelling, and good grammar, is written well and isn't confusing, is generally a rare question (not frequently asked), it will get a 3 usually.


The "straight face" [ :| ] is a 2. This is for questions that are kindof normal, not super awesome, but not awful. They may contain a small bit of chatspeak (poor grammar/spelling) and might be confusing. The topic of the question might be common, but the question is generally unique.


The "sad face" [ :( ] is a 1. This is for questions that are super awful asked wayy too often, "just stinking google it" kind of questions. These questions are asked by really dumb or really lazy people generally. They're overasked, and have a VERY simple answer.


If you don't really know what to rate a question, give it a 2 [ :| ]. Check out the FAQ ( http://www.advicenators.com/faq.php?t=11 ) ( http://advicenators.com/faq.php?t=4 ) for more answers and insight.

Is it bad for you to use a tampon when your not actually menustrating? I am supposed to start today or tomorrow and i just don't want to get caught by suprise. Would it be harmful if i put on in while i was still clean? (link)
It shouldn't be a problem, though if you leave it in longer than 6 hours you have a chance of getting TSS. It's a better idea to use a pad until you are actually on your period. Once you've reached that point you can use a tampon, but it is always a better idea to use a pad / pantyshield. Just be careful and don't leave it for more than 6 hours if you can absolutely help it.

Can i simply have a yes or no answer to this question:
My brother used to put his hands down the back of my trousers and grab my butt and stuff like that, i told him to stop but he wouldnt. is this abuse? (link)
Yes, that is sexual abuse. Just because y'all are blood related doesn't mean he can touch you wherever he wants. It is YOUR body, don't let others violate it.

hey...well within the last year i have become christian. but lately i have been having my doubts. i have depression, and have had it for about 2 years now. i pray so much but i dont seem to be making any progress to becoming happier. i dont understand why my prayers arent getting answered. (link)
Sweetie, don't we all go through these times? -- yes. The first year of your Christian walk is bound to be the hardest, especially if you're a teenager/young adult. I became a Christian at the age of seven, and I didn't fully understand the world around me at that time. I hadn't tasted pain or suffering or seen cruelty and hardships. But you have to remember something that is VITAL to your Christian walk : God doesn't HAVE to answer your prayers. That's not in His contract. God isn't a genie in a bottle, He's not there to grant your every wish. God doesn't work that way. God does, however, LISTEN to your prayers. Whether He chooses to answer is up to Him. It depends on your situation, what God wants you to go through and what the request is. Being a Christian is not an anti-depressant, you won't all of a sudden feel happy because you're a Christian. Some people are absolutely ON FIRE for Jesus, it seems like NOTHING can get them down. Not everyone is like that; though we all should be. Sometimes God will test you, to see how strong you are, to see how you will react under a tough situation. Some people have chemical imbalances and they are depressed because of that and they would benefit greatly from an anti-depressant. Other people are depressed because something happened that wasn't on their list of planned outings. Perhaps a friend dies in a car accident, parents get divorced, sister is raped - so many things can happen that aren't planned. But they are put in our lives to see how we will respond to the stress; if we will call on Him and put our trust COMPLETELY in Him. This can be SO hard, so trying and difficult. I don't always understand why God does the things He does, but I know that there is a plan and a purpose. Take this example :


A girl is upset and talking to her mom. She's failing algebra and her boyfriend broke up with her for her best friend. She doesn't know why God was allowing all these things to happen. To try and cheer her, her mom asked if she'd like some cake for a snack. The girl loves cake, so naturally she wants some. Her moms says
"How about a few raw eggs? .. or a few cups of flour? ... what about some Crisco? ... or maybe some baking soda?"

"Gross, mom!" the girl replies.

The mother replies :

"Exactly, the individual ingredients of the cake are yucky, but when you mix them together you get a wonderful cake. Life is like that too. You might not understand why these things are happening, but God has a plan and a purpose for your life."


There will rough patches in your life, believe me. That is inevitable, but no matter what is thrown your way, God will always be there to comfort you and guide you. Sometimes I find myself saying, "God, don't you think that it would be good if things happened MY way?" instead of "God, I want things to happen YOUR way." It's hard to put complete trust in God sometimes, and sometimes you'll wish that God would make things happen your way, but sometimes those wishes are not granted. God only wants the best for you and He's not going to give you something (unless He wants you to grow/learn from it) that is bad for you. God gave us a free will. With it we can choose to WORSHIP Him or IGNORE Him. We can choose to do our homework or "forget" about it. We can choose to help our siblings with their chores or laugh at them. We can choose to do weed, crack, pot, drink, smoke etc. or we can choose to live purer lives. God is always there to help you, but you have to step into that and say "I WANT YOU TO HELP ME DO THINGS YOUR WAY, GOD." Saying "I want you to help me do things my way, God." doesn't cut it. Sorry. You've gotta trust God 100% no matter what to do what is best for you. Complete, total, and pure trust is hard to come by, but once you acheive it - things don't seem to be as bad, as hard, as high or as strong. :-)
In Christ - your sister,

How do I tell my parents I want to date? I dont want to flat out say it

I rate high (link)
Well, why don't you sit down with the parent that you think would be most open to the idea and casually mention that you like this boy. Describe him vaguely, that he's funny and nice, and makes good grades and has good friends etc. See how that goes. Then suggest that you might enjoy going to the movies or something with this particular boy. See how that goes. Then ask if that particular boy were to ask you to go on a date to the movies, would you be allowed to go. See, you're asking the same question, but in a much more vague and gentle way. If you tell the parent that would be most open to the idea, they can make it sound better to the parent who would be least open to the idea.


If you don't like to say things face-to-face; write a letter/E-mail to the parent that would be most open to the idea. But things mean more when they are said, not written. Be sure to mention that this particular boy make excellent grades, doesn't hang out with the druggies etc. Don't make your parents mad before you ask or they'll be more likely to say no. Be vague, don't say "Can I go out with this boy tomorrow night?" because they won't have time to think about what you've said and about the boy and if you should go out with him. Generally parents have your best wishes in mind and don't want you to get hurt. :-)

ok..you know how 143=love? ok how does that come out to love?, because it's really been bugging me for awhile! why 143=love?

thanks!! (link)
143 = I LOVE YOU. Explination :


There is ONE letter in the word 'I'. = 1
There are FOUR letters in the word 'LOVE'. = 4
There are THREE letters in the word 'YOU'. = 3


See, 143. Also, ILY = I love you. That's kindof obvious though, I Love You. ILY. :-)

Okay, what are some turn ons for girls?
WHat does a girl look for in a guy?
what do they like in a conversation??

thanks lots!
I rate high! (link)
Well, you have to remember that every girl is different. Some girls like guys who are very forward and will kiss them on the first date, while other girls will only hold your hand. Some girls will make the first move, others want the guy to make the first move. It just depends on the girl. Me, specifically though :


I look for

- A Christian guy
- Sweet
- Caring
- Actually listens to me
- Shy, but not too shy to share what's on his mind
- Doesn't push me further than I feel comfortable
- Will come to church with me
- Actually knows WHO I am, not just who I appear to be
- Is a super good friend
- A sense of humor
- Mature
- Sensitive, but can joke


"Turn ons"


- Smells good. [I'm so serious.. I like it when guys smell good]
- Clean cut.
- Holds my hand.
- Puts his arm around me.
- Introduces me to people.
- Eye contact.
- Big hugs.
- Telling me how he really feels.
- Clothes that fit well (I don't like it when guys wear clothes that are 20 times too big for them).
- Smiles alot.
- Puts up with people who are more than slightly annoying.
- Will dance with me. :-)
- Makes the "first move."
- Tells me nice things that are HEARTFELT. (cheesy compliments are very annoying.)
- Honest.


"Likes in Conversation"


- Honesty.
- Variation.
- Things he's interested in.
- Things I'm interested in.
- Movies.
- Music.
- The weather. (seriously... especially storms!)
- Pets.
- Family.
- God, church, religion.
- School.
- Likes / dislikes.
- Tells me how he really feels.


Other stuff :


It is greatly appreciated when a guy will hug/hold my hand when I am noticably nervous/scared/anxious/sad. Tells me he loves me, or misses me - and means it. Puts up with my family when they're being less than nice and understanding. Holds my hands when they're cold; is not ashamed of giving me a hug/holding my hand/putting his arm around me when we're around his friends. Notices the small things (wearing my hair a different way, or getting it cut, taking time to look nice, or smells nice etc.) Makes me feel very special, sometimes sensual. Deep conversations, sweet smiles, romantic hug, loves me for who I am, not what I look like. Explains things when I don't undersand them, but isn't haughty or "I'm-holier-than-thou". Rubs my arms when I'm cold, pulls me close. Whispers "sweet nothings" (but only at the right times and not too often of course). Is sentimental, romantic, sweet, kind, loving.. and LIKES ME! [Which happens to be very important.]


Not every girl is like me, of course. I am a hopeless romantic; and I appreciate a guy who recognizes that and is supportive, sweet, and ... well, is kindof the same way. :-)


I hope this helped you some; but you have to remember that each girl has different preferances. None of us are the same.

I do not shave yet... but i want to... what is a creative way i can ask my mom i want to shave? (link)
Hello,


Why don't you try one of these methods?


- "Hey mom, I've noticed the hair on my legs is getting pretty long. I'm sortof self conscious about it and I was wondering if you could help me learn to shave or use a hair removal cream."


- "Mom, alot of my friends are learning how to shave, and I was hoping you'd teach me."


- "Mom, I'd like to try shaving because the hair on my legs is getting really long."


Moms ALWAYS want to help their daughters learn how to shave. It's just a simple fact of life. If you don't understand it now, you will later. Ask her if she'll help you learn how to shave, or use an electric razor (won't give you razor burn or nicks, but doesn't cut close to the skin) or a hair removal cream. If you have sensitive skin though, or if you're allergic to soaps, don't use a hair removal cream. I did once, and I was terribly allergic to it. It WAS NOT FUN! Haha.. just ask your mom nicely if she'll help you. Throw in that you're self conscious about it and that your friends are learning to shave. Might help? :-)

My friend was forced to take a drug test by his mom and it he failed now shes callin his friends and tellin their parents to drug test their kids shes gonna call my dad soon and have my dad test me i want to know if its true that if you dont do marijuana often that it will clear out of your system faster than if you do it constantly? (link)
Well, I don't know about that. Though it makes sense - you do it once it takes X amount of time to get through your system, but if you do it three times, then it is X [multiplied by three] amounts of time to get out of your system. I know this sounds weird, but if you eat a roll with A LOT (I mean A LOT) of poppy seads on it, you will fail the drug test. :-) But just because your friend's mom calls your dad doesn't mean you'll have to take the test.

Ok i really want to ask this guy out but i dont nkow how... my first bf. HeLp! I rate high!

~Female/13 (link)
Hello,


Well, I'd suggest that you TELL him you like him. D'oh, you like him - that's why you're wanting to ask him out. But he doesn't know it. Tell him that you like him as more than a friend on say... Friday. Then, on Tuesday, you could try asking him out. That way he has time to THINK about what you said. If he says he likes you, then it's probably safe to ask him out. If he doesn't say anything, give him some time to think. Don't ask him out online (IM, E-mail etc.) because this is SO impersonal. Asking him out on the phone is just as bad. Tell it to him to his face. I don't like the idea of a note, but if that's how you want to do it - more power to you. But try and stay away from the Internet-dating thing. It's really weird. You COULD get a friend to tell him you like him, but you should ask him out. Your friend isn't going out with him, YOU are. Besides, he's more likely to turn your friend down than he would be to turn you down.

Is it possible for one's main vein to be cut open with a nail clipper??? I'm just curious (link)
Absolutely. If you knew exactly how and where to clip or poke, or if you did it enough times, I'm sure you could cut open one of your main arteries or veins. I'm quite sure this would be EXTREMELY painful, and it is not something I reccomend doing.


Actually, it reminds me of something my youth pastor said tonight... Jesus used the analogy of gouging out your eyes if you looked upon something sinful. Makes me shudder. I want to hide my eyes -- and main veins/arteries!

One of my guy friends, Blake, is interested in one of my girl friends, Allie. Allie is like super mean to him and she tells everyone she doesn't like him. and Blake keeps asking me what he should do about it. I can't just say forget about her because he likes her a lot. What should I say to him? (link)
Tell Blake that Allie doesn't really want (or need) a boyfriend right now. Encourage him to make friends with other girls and perhaps ask one of them out. Encourage him and help keep his spirits high. Let him know you care about him, even if Allie doesn't want to be his girlfriend. Talk to Allie and encourage her not to be so cruel to him. Tell her that she doesn't have to go out with him, but ask her not to be so rude to him, just go be his friend. Try and encourage each of them - seperately - to be friends with the other and that is all. Encourage Blake to make friends with other girls, and encourage Allie to be more friendly. It stinks being stuck in the middle. :-\
Good luck.

hi. im 13 years old and ive had a bf for 4 months. he dumped me the other day because his friends dont like me. i really like him and he likes me too. 2 minutes (literally) after he dumped me he had another gf. is he worth going back for?

P.S. ive never met his parents and hes never met mine. thanks for your help. (link)
Girl,


Forget about him. If he dumped you because his friends didn't like you, he didn't REALLY care. I'm sorry, I know that hurts. Alot. And it's really sad that he's got a girlfriend almost immediately after he broke up with you.. just forget about him. If he really cared he wouldn't've broken up with you because of what his friends think, nor would he have gotten another girlfriend. Even if he broke up with the other girl and got down on his hands and knees, promised to do my algebra homework for the rest of the semester and made a giant apology, I wouldn't take him back. He didn't care enough then, he doesn't care enough now.


Sweetie, find yourself a good friend (who is a guy) and get to know him really well. Once you're really tight with him, if you're attracted to him, let him know. If you're not, keep hanging out with guys. The only way to know if you REALLY like someone is to know what they're REALLY like. Don't accept someone at face value, dig a little deeper.


Good luck!

I have a phobia that I want to get over but dont know how, please help. (link)
The best way to overcome any phobia (of spiders, heights, milk, whatever) is to hit it straight in the head. Do alot of research about your phobia, for instance, if you're afraid of spiders, research the spiders in your area to see which ones are poisonous and which ones aren't. Find out which ones eat what and how they make their webs. In fact, most extremely deadly spiders don't even live in America. Perhaps you live in England? There aren't alot of deadly spiders there either. Probably the most poisonous spider in either place is the Black Widow or the Brown Recluse. You never see these spiders because they hide away. Find out everything you can about your phobia, and how other people overcame it. Then, put it to the test. If you're afraid of spiders, start off slow. Go to the zoo and look at the spiders. Then try and find a common house spider at your home or in your garden, and just be around it. Then, once you're brave enough, try and pick it up. Follow the same method for any phobia.

how do i get my computer to run in safemode?
(link)
If you're running XP, follow these instructions:


- Click on "Start"
- Click on "Turn Off Computer"
- Choose "Stand By" or "Hibernate"


If you're running something other than XP, it will be similar. The "safe mode" or "stand by" or "hibernate" buttons are probably near the Off / Restart buttons.
-FunnyCide


I found black stuff on my tooth brush, that I keep in the shower. I use it ever night, and so I know it didn't just grow there. I had used it less that 24 hours before I saw the black stuff. Am I being poisoned, or is there anouther explanation? (link)
Actually, it could be mold. Mold can grow overnight. There is a poisonous black mold that grows quite rapidly (1 inch = 12 hours) and if you move it too much, the mold will release poisonous gases into the air. The answer you recieved from CapnCatsEye was a joke, but I'm not kidding. Look it up if you don't believe me. Gently put your toothbrush in a Ziploc bag and throw it away. Get a new toothbrush.
-FunnyCide


i dont know if this in the right catagory but oh-well

I shave every other shower and after i shave my legs are really itchy. is that normal?

thanks (link)
Actually, I don't think that's normal. Maybe you're allergic to your shaving cream? Or if your razor has a lubricant strip, you're allergic to that? I don't know. Try switching shaving creams. If you don't use a shaving cream at all, that could be why. If you don't use a shaving cream when you shave, your legs are dry and will be itchy. Some people use soap (lathered up) to shave, and you can do that, but it's not as effective as shaving cream.
Or, perhaps, you're shaving too often? Shaving that frequently is bound to dry out your legs. I only shave once a week, but I don't have to wear a uniform or shorts / capris to school. Be sure to moisturize your legs (either a moisturizing cream or 'normal' lotion) after you shave. Make sure your legs are completely dry though, because if you don't, the moisturizer can trap water in your open pores, making your legs dry and itchy. Use a sharp razor, too. Dull razors don't shave as well and can cause irritation.
