ok, so my friend likes this guy right.. and at one of our skool dances, i asked him if he liked her and he was all idunno ... i guess.. he gave her a huge hug at the end of the dance, and she is like soooo excited!
So i guess my question is.. how can i find out if he likes her.. like without being a pest to them..??
thx in advance!!!

Well nothing you can really do but just see what happens. See how he acts around her, what they talk about and stuff. But don't be like snooping around everywhere if you know what I mean! Don't ask him anymore it might bug him and stuff.

Hi. I know i have posted something similar to this before, but i just want to see more opinions. I am 15 years old, blonde hair, blue eyes and i am about 5'5ish and 110 pounds and i am a 36A but i think i need 38A bras now, the others are gettin small. I wanted to have a new look because i just think its time to move on from the tomboy look. I am not too fond of skirts, but i bought a couple because my friend said that they looked nice. I just have no idea what kinds of shoes to wear, (i dont like uggs, flats or anything like that, just like tennis shoes maybe?) I wanted to know what sort've shirts that would be good for a flat girl, and that would look good, i heard v necks would be good. Anyways, i have the basic ideas, but i just wanted to become more 'girly' because i think its time for a change. Anything will help, thanks. (link)
I know what you mean. I mean I'm sorta tomboyish too but I can be girly also. Maybe put your hair back in a barrette or something and jewelery also is good but depends how they look I mean some looks kinda weird. Pretty earrings and stuff. You don't have to wear skirts to be girly you can get some other type of stuff that looks that way but some skirts might be cute too. If you don't like heels and flats and stuff and just like tennies find some with rinestones or something on it. But also remember that sometimes you would wanna let go and run around and act like a tomboy again!


So my boyfriend for almost a month still hasn't told his parents that we are going out. His parents are very strict, but he is 18 and I told him that he should be able to do what he wants. I wish he would tell them because I feel like I am in hiding because I can never call him because his parents are around. What should I do about this problem?
Also what is a good gift to give him for valentines. I was thinking a big card and homemade cookies. Is that to much or do you think that is just right?

Thank You (link)
Well thats his choice whether he tells his parents or not. Its hard for you but if he tells his parents then you guys might be over. There is nothing you can really do about it because thats his choice.

About the valentines day thing. The card is great and the cookies! Oh what basically all guys like is a nice picture frame with the 2 of you in it! I hope you guys have a great valentines!


I met this boy, and we flirt somewhat, and I don't know how to get him to like me. I understand that if he likes me for me, he'll know it, but I feel like I'm never myself around him because I'm trying to impress him or am too nervous. What should I do? (link)
He might like you and you don't know it. The way to find out is to just go up and tell him how you feel and he will probably tell you how he feels. Or you can just have conversation with him and bring it up. 3rd you can have a friend find out who he likes and if he likes you. If you feel your never yourself around try to be the real you because if he does like you, you would want him to like you for you. You might be nervous or trying to impress him. I wouldn't know because depends how you feel. Do you feel nervous? Well that might be it if you feel like that. If you feel calmer then you might be trying to impress. I hope everything goes well for you!


what kinds of things can a nitendo ds do? i know games but what else? i wanna get one but im not sure yet.. what kind of games do u recommend? thanx (link)
My best friend has one. Look through the games that you think you would like. They have a pictochat thing too. I thinks it where you chat with people who have one near you. Oh they do play gameboy advance games in it too. Its a touch screen but I think you already knew that! Well I gave as much info as I could. I hope you have fun!


I need to get my boyfriend a present for Valentines day. We'll be going out for two months on Valentines. Gift ideas?? Please please PLEASE give me some. (link)

~Or you can take him somewhere nice for a dinner
I hope I helped and I hope the both of you have a great valentines day!


okay, so theres this guy i like. i have no clue if he likes me back, in fact, i doubt it, cuz he's really cute and usually goes for the gorgeous popular type, which i am not. but we have snuck out together before, and he has kissed me, but i still don't think he really likes me, as i said before. it's because after he kissed me, he told me it was just spur of the moment and stuff. so what should i do? should i ask him to be my valentine? or should i wait until valentines day and see what happens? sadies is coming up soon too. so i don't know what i should do.. HELP!! (link)
You should ask him yourself and see if he wants to be your valentine or if you are more shy then you can have a friend go find out if he likes another girl. And remember if he dosn't like you he is probably missing out on a wonderful girl. There are plenty more guys too and maybe one even likes you now. So I hope everything goes well for you!


Last year i liked this boy. Let's say his name is..Francis. Francis liked me for the first part of the year and then he stopped a while after i told one of his friends i didn't like him more than a friend. So after a while I started to like him. It was just a little thing at first but then it started to become a big deal. Then i started liking him on and off. But then my other friend started to like him. And so a bit before she started liking him, i kinda got a SUPER big crush on him that lasted until the end of the year. ALL of my friends found out and so did he. It kinda got a bit weird but i got used to it. Well, i would talk about him a lot and he would tease me and so i would like flirt with him and he told me he liked me but i knew that he told me that just so i could be like," OH YAY! he likes me too." Well, now it's the next year and he still goes to the same school but he "transferred" one grade higher than me because of his age. Now when i see him i still get this sudden urge to crush on him again. And so we would occasionally see each other in the halls and i would kinda flirt in the i don't care for you but im gonna flirt with you anyway kinda thing. But i think i'm starting to like him again but i don't want to because when i did like him it was horrible and i don't know what to do.

This question is kinda pointless for some of you but it would help if you answered. Thanks in advance. (link)
Well he is a grade higher than you now and you hardly see him right? Maybe he does like you. If you want him then find out how he feels. You have 2 choices, 1: to find out how he feels and if he does you might have a chance. 2: just try to forget about him and talk to other guys and get to know them and you might fall for one of them because of course there are more guys in the world right? I would just say leave it if you don't wanna like him. There are plenty more guys out there and maybe even one is crushing on you right now! But I hope everything goes well for you!


sorry, this is gonna be long. so i like two boys. lets call them a and b.

ive known a longer. hes kissed me before, but told me he didnt have feelings for me. but that was a while ago. he kissed me again two weeks ago, but we havent talked about it because im kinda scared about what hes gonna say. hes one of the cutest guys in school, and a lot of girls like him. hes also kind of a "manwhore". not really, just kind of. but hes real sweet when im with him and gives me butterflies and makes me smile like no other person. he flirts with me a lot too. but we kinda have had an on and off relationship since ive known him.

okay, now b. ive also had an on and off relationship with him, cuz i rarely see him and stuff. hes really nice though. everyone knows him as the nice guy. and hes cute. i met him through my "big brother". me, "my bro" and our friends all do bad shit. they all smoke and drink and we do shit like that, but he doesnt. hes always like the designated driver and stuff cuz hes straight edge and stuff. hes more shy though. he doesnt really flirt with me that much, not in the way a does anyways. a flirts with me like.. more in actions. b flirts with me more just like joking around. we joke around and make fun of each other. hes sweet too and also makes me smile and stuff, but hes off to college next year.

so who should i go after more? or who would be a better choice? (link)
Okay "a" has kissed you before and he told you he had no feelings for you then he did it again. All the girls like him right? He might like one of them so best thing to do is to find out if he likes you. I know its hard to ask him but thats the only way to find out.

"b" is nice and sweet but he is going to college next year. Just think about who you really like more. b seems nice and stuff so he might also be a good choice. Think about who is more your type. a might be a big flirt and does it to all the girls you are just gonna have to think deep down who you really need to go for, who is your type, and who is a nice decent and guy who would respect you. I can't choose who is best for you but I hope everything goes well!


the guy i like is really confusing me. I know he likes me back but he acts kind of weird.
like i'll IM him and he'll barely even talk but then like 2 days later he'll IM me and we talk for a while. I dont really see him in school alot becuz hes a grade above me and its a vocational school. Does it sound like hes just being shy? (link)
Guys are just like that. You just need to talk to him and open up to where he will feel more comfortable talking with you.


how do you get rid of hives??? I had a huge red bump on my cheek this morning in school and it was so embaressing!! I was thinking of going to the nurses and have an ice pack and put it on there. But my friends said that would make it redder and bigger. How do you get rid of hives?
Oh yeah and theres a red bump on my head that itches like crazy! (link)
Hives is a allergic reaction. My best friend gets them all the time. If it is something on your face that you are allergic to I say take it off. She takes Benadryl. It could be chicken pox though. But I hope everything goes well for you!


I was with a group of friends at the pool. Then this guy from my group of friends kept swimming to wherever I went. I was wearing my swimming costume and I kind of felt that he was looking. When we were playing at the beach, he kept splashing water at me and when I wanted to splash back, he always held both of my hands together so that he was the only one who could splash me. Erm, is his behavior kind of ...sexual? I'm beginning to feel very uncomfortable and self conscious in front of him. (link)
Sounds like he might like you. He if he was following you and splashing you it sure sounds like it unless he is a big flirt and does it to every girl then thats different.


ok there is a big school valentine's say dance coming up next week--
i really like this guy his name is derek but he doesnt know i like him. But the weird thing is my friend guessed i like him and i have never liked him before and i never gave her any idea that i like him. She is really good friends with him though, and she was like im surprised you dont like derek he seems your type. Then i said even if i did like him he wouldnt like me and she was like im sure he would. ( by the way my friend's name is ashely) Do you think that he liked me and told her not to tell me ?? because i no that she would keep his secret. I'm so confused !! and by the way i want to wear something to the dance next week that will impress him. Is there any certain make-up or hair styles that guyz love on girls ????? PLEASE HELP ME !!

-Jennifer (link)
You should tell her that you like him because you are her friend and he could have told her that he liked you because she just brought it up. About the dress I have no idea what guys like since I'm not a guy but different guys like different things. And if he does like you there is no need to impress him because he likes how you are now but I like to wear dresses that flow and put your hair up. Or you can leave it down and if you have straight hair make it wavy and if you have curly hair straighten it! I hope you have a great time!


as quick as i can... I want to go out with a boy in my class but i cant get the corage to ask him out. i dont even knwo how i should ask him out. and i dont even know if he likes me. should i go for it? how? HELP (link)
I know its hard to ask someone out so can just go up to him and just ask him or you can talk to him for a little bit and then bring it up. And yes you should go for it because if you don't you will never know if he likes you or not. Well I hope everything goes well for you!


when someone says "how do you drive a stick?" what does that mean? i know it's related to cars lol but what kind? (link)
The ones with the shifting kinds not automatic cars.


okay well today on the bus my boyfriend, lets call him tim, well he was like "you can't even see your earrings cuz your hair is like waahhh" we have been going out for a week and a day and then my friend like help up his hand to "pound it" and like a did a hive five so he like pounded the high five i guess you would call it because i am just random like but anyway then tim was like "now thats just retarded" and that kinda made me mad i dont know. and he usually says i love you when we say by on the phone but he didnt today. do u think he is mad at me or was he just playing around on the bus or maybe he had a bad day? i dont know, please help!

thanks in advance! (link)
He might have had a bad day. If he asked you to hang out on Sat. then I don't think he was mad at you. Just ask him about it and he will probably tell you what happened or nothing. So I hope everything goes well for you!


Okay ill not to make this very long… there is this boy in my class and I really like him and have liked him for a long time [between 2-5 years lost count]. I am not sure if he likes me or not and I am scared to go ask him. We are actually really close friends and I also don’t want to ruin our relationship together. He means a lot to me and cannot get him out of my mind. My friends always ask me why I like him and I cant answer them because I have no clue why. I think that I might think he is cute funny but everyone else thinks that he isn’t cute. What should I do?

My other dilemma is that next year I am going to high school. I have a chose weather to go to one school or another and I don’t know which to go to. My friends are practically splitting. 5 of my friends are going to one school and him and 4 others are going to the other school. I really don’t want to loose him nor do I want to loose the other friends going to the other school. HELP this is really confusing and hard to deal with.

Sorry for how long it is and thank you in advance.
(link)
The best thing to do is to tell him how you feel because he might like you too! Tell him that and then usually they'll tell you how they feel too. If you liked him for so long its time to let it out. And about the school it dosn't matter where the guy you like is going nor where your friends are going. Go to the place where is best for you. It will be hard to lose one and go for another but its life. So I hope everything goes well for you!


I am very interested in learning about how to talk to boys in person. i used to be very good but i became shy since then and lost that ability. i can talk to them but i sound so stupid and it is annoying. I dont knwo what to talk abotu with them. Please i would like to knwo what subjects or things to talk about with them. and please dont say your interests because i dont knwo what or how to do that. (link)
Well you talk to girls right? Well its no difference really. Unless you are talking about boys! lol. But talk to them about what you talk to about your friends. Talk to them about what you did the other day, school, you know whatever comes to mind. Usually when you start talking to a guy they will also start talking (unless he's super shy) and keep the conversation going on.


so i am going to sound rediculous, and this may be long, i appologize. but i am in a strong need of advice and this is the only place i can turn to without a biased opinion now.

i went out with this guy zach. he was really sweet but kind of immature. but i really liked being with him b/c he understood me like no other person ever has, he was a good boyfriend. well his immaturity got to me and i broke up with him, but we both thought it was only temporary, i know this.
we never stopped being best friends though, the day after we broke up it still didnt feel wierd. its a little bit mroe distant but that was my choice after this happened...

2 weeks later we were talking bout getting back together and we were flirty and he told me how much he loved me. well i have history with this girl in my school, we were friends and we got in a fight b/c she didnt get invited to my party [yea immature little fight that teenage girls get into, i know i was wrong but we all grow up] and instead of just being catty like any other teenage girl she went to the shcool and told them my dad beats me, i had bruises form volleyball but no my family is fine i never told her this she was just trying to cause drama. me and my sister almost got taken out of our house by social services, she thought this was funny. well her name is kelly.
and at this party zach was all over kelly they were cuddling in the bed, fell asleep together, and flirting alllllll night and every1 there [even he admits] that they were acting like boyfriend and girlfriend. this really hurt my feelings b/c it wasnt just any girl, which i would have been upset but not say anything, but he knows what she did to me and he was the one i was crying in the arms of when social services told me and my sister we were going to be taken into foster homes [they didnt b/c lack of evidence, me and my siste rof course denied everything]

it felt liek he betrayed me... i tried to mention it but all he said was "im not replacing you with kelly" and i told him it was about alot mroe than that, he will just make me feel like im being over jealous.

today he asked me out again, he did that with kelly last sunday. i told him im gonna have to think bout it, that hurt me but we are great together. he gets me more than anybody and i love hanging out with him but the kelly thing will always bother me =/

ONE MORE ISSUE, i dnt have alot of time... there is this guy Matt that is the sweetest guy ever. he likes me soo much and i liekd being with him, he makes me feel really good. he's friends with my friends and really the perfect personality but im not sure he knows me at all... he likes me but i feel liek if i let out my crazy side or my temper gets the ebst fo me he will not expect it and think of me differantly

so the questiosn to answer :: should i dump zach? or go for matt? (link)
Zach might have been trying to get you jealous. But just incase he wasn't ask him whatever is on your mind and he'll make sure he gives you and eplanation but no one can tell you who to go for. And Matt you said he was the sweetest guy ever and you liked being with him. You should talk to him and get to know him he might be your right guy. I hope everything goes well for you!
