♥[?]♥ ok. ive never made out or even french kissed someone. i really want too and stuff but there is a part of me that is scared ill flip out if it happens. but i dont know, maybe im just too nervous and thinking about it too hard. please help

Well peRsonally, I DO NOT kiss! I REFUSE to kiss my boyfRiends.. if they tRy.. I'll punch 'em.. seRiously.. I've had Really bad expeRiences kissing, and I will NOT do it. So unfoRtunately I can't give you many tips. I can tell you to close youR eyes! Also, tRy spelling out youR name with youR tongue in theiR mouth! And supposedly.. if you can open a 'StaRbuRst' with youR tongue.. like take a single 'StaRbuRst' and leave it completely sealed within the wRappeR... they say this will deteRmind if you'Re a good kisseR oR not, just because it IS difficult... so supposedly only awesome kisseRs can nail this. HoweveR, that is just a silly game, but it's fun to tRy, and it CAn actually give you some pRactice! WhateveR you do.. do not Run off and kiss some Joe Schmoe to get it oveR with... youR fiRst kiss/make out should be special; so make it memoRable!! And anotheR thing... if you ask aRound.. m.o.s.t people will tell you that theiR fiRst kiss blew!! Don't let this scaRe you off!! You can't let that stop you! If at fiRst you don't succeed.. tRy, tRy again!! I wish you the VERY best of luck!! I'm soRRie I couldn't be of moRe help!! =D Thanks soo much foR youR question!! Lemme know if theRe is something else I can assist you with!!

♥[?]♥ okay this is an extreamly random question but the other night i was watcing the movie french kiss and for those of you who've seen it the french guy luke he said that when he first fell in love with a prostitute that he had to pay more money to kiss her than to have sex with her... why is that?

I don't know? But peRhaps it's because they go around selling theiR bodies all of the time.. so it's natuRal.. it's theiR souRce of money.. and they collect fRom so many people that sex just doesn't mean anything intimately anymoRe. HoweveR, a kiss means something, and they'Re not going to let just anybody kiss them.. [unless they'Re getting big bucks foR it] This is just my thought. Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ Well I have a friend named skip that lives in the apartment next door to my friend kathys. I used to go to kathys place about every other day. So I would always see skip and hang out with him. He was really nice and fun, and so I had a crush on him. But, I really didn’t wanna go out with him, so I just wanted to be his friend. (When he found out I liked him, he developed a crush on me, lol)

Well I flunked the 8th grade so I had to go to summer school this summer. So did skip. Skip sat next to me in both classes. After a while he would ALWAYS be touching me, poking me, grabbing me, bitting me, sloppering on me, trying to hold my hand, constantly talking to me while the teacher was talking, spitting all over my pencils, and putting his effing hand in front of my book while I was reading. All of those things were a real turn off, so I stopped liking him. I’d always tell him to quit messing with me and stuff, and he just wouldn’t do it. So I would get REALLY pissed off at him, then he’d be all mad at me cause I was mad at him. He felt like he wasn’t doing anything wrong. Bullshit. So he’d be all upset which made me feel bad and all depressed and stuff. I didn’t even like him as a friend anymore at one point… he made me sooooo angry all the time, I just hated him.

Now that summer school is over and stuff, we don’t really get a chance to see eachother anymore. And I still want to be his friend.. but im kind of debating between that. I mean I wanna be his friend, but just all the stuff that he did and how angry he made me are stuck in the back of my mind, and get me really pissed.

So, my question is should I still be his friend considering how angry he makes and has made me?

Thanks..

Well, I don't think it would be a bad thing to give him a second chance, and you can neveR have too many fRiends!! Hope I helped! =D

♥[?]♥ i have this one friend... lets call her Liz.. Liz always used to come over my house, we always used to hang out.. there wasnt a day where we werent together.. cuz she lives rite down tha road.. but all of a sudden.. this summer.. she never comes over..she never calls.. n i never hear from her.. then i found out she was hangin w/ another girl that was a few years younger \than us.. I TOTALLY DONT MIND THAT but i mean i never see her any more.. the girl she hangs out with doesnt like me so i dont bother hangin out with them wen they r together.. but i feel like mah 2nd half has been torn away!

♥[?]♥ ok. well i live here in a town called fresno. fresno is a town of really down to earth, cool people. most people aren't really wealthy, which means theres hardly any stuck up snobby people etc.

well.. now im moving to the town next to fresno, called clovis. and clovis is a really nice town. home to people living in MILLION dollar homes. a lot of wealthy people living in that town. so.. theres definetly gonna be snobby rich b**tches there.. and i dont mix well with those kinds of people. meaning, i dont like them lol.

WHAT DO I DO??? how do i make friends..

Well, don't unfaiRly judge these kids.. you haven't even met them yet. PeRhaps you'll be suRpRised to discoveR that some of these "rich snobs" aRe Really teRRific people!! I say just go to school with an open mind. Also, it's like a guaRantee that, yeah.. SOME of these people ARE going to be "rich snobs", just be confident in youRself, and don't let theiR cockiness bRing you down. Just be outgoing and fRiendly!! Also, neveR woRRie about what these people aRe going to think of you.. just do youR thing and have fun doing it!! I wish you the best!! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ A lot of people say this "proactiv" solution works. It is always being advertised on tv and online. I am so ready to order it, but then I stop and think,..like hello? it's from the infomerical! And do they have it available at stores, so I'll know it really does work?

Uhm... I'm not shoRe if you can buy it at stoRes.. I doubt it; I've just neveR seen it.. even at "As Seen On T.v."!! Also, I've n.e.v.e.R used it peRsonally, but my fRiend has, and she has seen teRRific Results!! PeRhaps it'll woRk foR you too?? SoRRie I can't be of moRe help... I hope things woRk out! =D

♥[?]♥ what is the average size for a male erected penis?

I'd say between 5 and a half inches to 7 inches. Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ I really want to be popular. Not popular as in "hello, im stuck up and im better than everybody." I wanna be popular as in BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE! i dont know how to start a conversation with strangers. any suggestions on how i can achieve this?

I'd say to just be fRiendly. Don't be afRaid to speak out in class - that's a gReat way to get eveRyone to notice you! And when you see fellow classmates in the hallway, smile and say hello. OR if you get to school a bit eaRly in the moRning, and you see one oR two of them togetheR, walk oveR to 'em and say "Hey.. how's it goin'?" I know it may seem a bit cheesey, but think about it.. hasn't anyone eveR done that to you? And most of the time it makes you feel good, doesn't it? So why not make somoene else feel good! And anotheR good way to meet people is to tRy joining clubs, spoRts, band, etc. Most of the time, to get noticed you Really have to put youRself out theRe! Just neveR be afRaid of what someone else will think of you.. just go foR it and have a good time!! I wish you the best of luck!! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ i love my mom honestly i do, but she doesnt trust me....with anything!! not with my computer, phone or even with just my friends!! (especially the guy ones). how can i get her to just trust me?

Well you didn't mention if you've eveR done something that would MAKE heR not tRust you, but peRhaps you should just tRying talking to heR. Tell heR you'Re getting oldeR now, and you'd appReciate some moRe slack, at least pRivacy. Just ensuRe heR that you won't go mess up and get high... let heR know you can be Responsible and counted on. I wish you the best of luck!! hope I helped! =D
