♥[?]♥ Hey you guys, can you hel;p me? I'm looking for a good website with cute girly clothes that don't cost a lot, almost like a cheap delias.....do you guys have any favoirite websites?

I have no clue, sorrie! And why does it have to be online? You can't just go to a store? Clothing stores can be very expensive sometimes. I suggest going when there are sales. Otherwise, you could try a thift store. They have lots of cute stuff, and it's easy to mix and match. Be creative and have fun with it!

♥[?]♥ does anybody have any idea what 'You can't fight fire with ruby lipstick' means?

Nope, sorrie. I've never even heard that expression before. I tried to think about it, but haven't really come up with anything solid. Sorrie; tell me if you find out, or it'll become one of those things that never seems to slip your mind and bugs you to death, ya know?

♥[?]♥ Okay, ONLINE, I've been talking to this guy for at least 2 years. He is the sweetest, greatest guy. But I ONLY have talked to him online, and the phone. And believe me, he's no 50 year old man.:P Well, for like the first year I talked to him, I liked him so much. I even got jealous if he talked to another girl. And, turns out, he liked me too. Just..both of us never said anything. Which totally sucks, because things could've been so differet! :( But, my problem is that I still like him. I love him, hell. I do..but I think he's over me. In his mind we're still just really best friends, but I want to be more. If I tell him, he'll probably be freaked out..cause, well, he prob. thinks I'm over him, too. But..noo..=/

I'm sorrie. I know how you feel, but things like this really don't work out. It's difficult to hold long distance relationships in the first place... but to have a long distance relationship with someone you've never met in person? It's not a good idea. sorrie!

♥[?]♥ okay so about two years ago i went to florida by myself and visited my reletives and while i was there i met this boy a freind of their family so i got really close to him and we made out. well i didn't think that he would tell ne one but he ended up tellin my reletives. and of course i denied it and now im goin back to florida and im afriad that i might c him. i kinda want to bcause i wanna see how he grew up and i just really wanna c him but im too embarrased to ask my reletives to invite him over while im there. so wut do i do? please help me. ASAP!

Aww! I'm sorrie! But why did you even deny it in the first place? Personally, I wouldn't want to see him again.

♥[?]♥ this might sound stupid...but whats an orgasim?

It's the peek of sexual excitement.

♥[?]♥ im 13 years old and the first time i had sex was when i was 11 with a 17 year old guy. now sence then ive had sex with about 22 guys. i also like to masterbate with random obgects like pens, toothbrushes ect ect sometimes i think about my brother like tat why u no. should i sleep with my brother

I suppose I could understand that you enjoy sex -- that's definitely NOT unusual! =D 11 is VERY young to start having sex though. Yeah, it could be fun, but it's not worth it. Hun, you could get seriously ill. There's a lot of responsibilities that come with having sex, and at 11 years old.. that's too much too handle. But what's done is done. I can't stop you from having sex, I could only ask you to be wise about it, and stay safe. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR PARTNER! I can't tell you enough how important that is!! Guys will lie to you if they know they're a carry of AIDs or STDs! You think they care about you??? They don't!!! All that matters to them is that they "get some". So again, please just stay safe!! About your brother... NO! Do not sleep with him. First of all, there's plenty of guys out there [you've found 22 of them] Becoming romanticly involved with a family member is NEVER a good idea!! Secondly, if someone were to find out, it could EASILY tear your family apart; it's just not worth it, trust me. And thirdly, even if you DO use protection AND are on birth control, it can't 100% stop pregnancy. Brothers and sisters have too many similar genes. Often times babies of incest are born with disabilities; no arm, brain damaged, blind, etc. etc. If you ever need to talk : [AIM: SimpLy x GiRL] I'd be MORE than willing to speak with you further. If not, that's cool, I understand. I wish you the best of luck. Please, please, please, be smart about this. It's not worth it. Stay safe! =D

♥[?]♥ I really like this one guy aand I know he likes me. How do I tell him how I feel? Should I wait untill he makes the first move because that is what I think I should do. Im to afraid to tell him myself

You should tell him. You can't wait forever. Besides, what if he's thinking like you are.. that whole "Oh, I don't want to be the first to bring it up.. I'll wait for her/him" attitude.. then you'll both count on each other to do something and it will never get done. Just meet with him somewhere where you can easily express your feelings, such as a park. And then just let it flow. Emotions are always so mixed up, so don't fear that it won't come out perfectly. Just try your best to get your feelings across to him and clear as possible. He'll understand if it's difficult to say, and he'll respect that. Perhaps he'll return some of the feelings. Who knows? I wish you the best! Good luck!!

♥[?]♥ does anybody know any jobs that will allow 14 year olds to work for them

like there's a harris teeter (grocery store)
and a walgreens (pharmacy)
opening right up the street from me

also a blockbuster and bank of america

does any1 kno if any of those allow 14-15 year olds to work there

also if u know any other places that aren't in food service, i don't wanna work anywhere like McDonalds or anything

I think you have to be 16 for Blockbuster, and Walgreen's Pharmacy??? I doubt they'd let a kid fool around with others medication, but I don't know this for sure.. just assuming. It may be a good idea to try a thirft store. I'm sorrie I can't be of much help. I know how you feel though, I'd like to have a job, and I've even done some job hunting. I recently found out I'm moving across country, so I just gave up. However, if you DO find a job, please tell me!! I'd like one too. I wish you the best of luck!!

♥[?]♥ Im 14 and ive never kissed a boy?! is that bad!? will people not date me because of that!? i mean boys have attempted to but i didnt let them because they were jerks and they just wanted sex! so help me! i need to know if thats a bad thing! and you'll probably say just to wait....he'll come to me but i cant wait any longer!! :*(

~Help me~

14 and never kissed a boy?? That's perfectly fine. Everyone develops at their own pace. I suppose you're right when I tell you to just be patient and the right guy will come along...because he will. Things will happen as they happen. Don't always be in such a hurry. I mean, so what if your friends have already done it?? That's them.. and this is you, and that's great! =D

♥[?]♥ is it coOl to have sex?

Will having sex make you cool????? NO!

♥[?]♥ How cAn I ge my boyfriend totalk to me???
all he dose is egnore me and Its like everytime I go to talk about him around his friends he gets red in the face andsays he dosn't know me.
What should I do??????

Dump 'em. He's not worth it. You deserve better. I wish you the best of luck!

♥[?]♥ my friend always lies to me and im so sick of it! what should i do?

Tell her so. I'm sure she wouldn't like to be treated that way. You don't deserve it!

♥[?]♥ i really like this guy. but he lives in another state. i dont get to see him very often, but i can talk to him online or on the phone. should i ask him out?

No. Long distance relationships seldom work out. I'm sorrie. =D I wish you the best.

♥[?]♥ im 14 and this may sound weird but i've liked one of my best friends ive known since kindy, since 2nd grade. i told him i was in love with him and he didnt really seem to care. then he started dating this one chick, and it bothered me but what could i do? so when they broke up i asked him out and he turned me down. and now hes got this new girlfriend who hes like in love with. and i love him with all my heart but he just wants to be my friend. what should i do? should i just be his friend or continue competeing for his attention and his heart?

I think you should settle with friendship. I'm sorrie to say, but you can't make him love you. If you keep asking him out, there's a chance he may get fed up with it [as some people tend to do] and fall victim to the petty attitude of avoiding you. I'm assuming you'd rather have him as a friend rather than nothing at all. I'm sure if it was meant to be, it will happen. Who knows.. perhaps one day he'll come around. Until then, keep your head up and push forward. I wish you the very best of luck. Take care, and keep me updated! =D

♥[?]♥ i like this boy a lot i mean iv liked him for like 2 years how do i make him fall in love with me.? ps he kinda likes me but i want him to like me more
ps.... what questions are good to ask a 14 year old boy?

I suggest not to rush things. Don't concentrate on wondering if he "loves" you, just enjoy the time you guys have together now. If he's only 14, he has all the time in the world to love.. keep it slow and cherish your time together.

♥[?]♥ i dont think im grl friend material. i dont know why i guess i just think that. does anyone have any ways that i could become more grl friend material. im 14.

Be open minded. Yet, always be able to easily SPEAK your mind. You don't ALWAYS have to say what you're feeling. Perhaps, if you and your boyfriend get into a small arguement, instead of snapping back and yelling and screaming and belittling him like you want to do, try to think that it will only help YOU feel better, and NOT him.. relationships are two sided. Also, remain faithful and honest. Be sure to have good communication skills, and make sure you have your own separate lives, while still a great one together. Hope this helps!

♥[?]♥ my sis moved out sometime after christmas. well she didnt exactly move out. shes was 17 at the time and she kinda ran away. but she stayed at her friends house during the last half of her senior year of high skool. now she is in college cuz shes taking summer courses. i miss her so much and only talk to her like every other day on the internet. what do i do? i miss her soo much and i dont know wut to do. i havent seen her alot this year. and it was her senior year which is important to some ppl. that and i feel like i wont see her anymore. wut can i do?

Tell her how you feel and how much it would mean to you if you guys could set aside some time each week to see each other and catch up. I'm sure she misses you also! =D

♥[?]♥ ok well ill get rite to the point. my friend asked me out like 3 weeks ago and i sed no. but no that i come to think of it i think i should have sed yes. but my sis says that i should just go ask him out but i told her that its to late and he prolly doesnt like me ne more. wut should i do? i dont wanna ask him out cuz i gess im scared that he would say no.

Go for it! He asked you pretty recently, so I doubt he'd say no, unless of course he's found someone else. And even if his answer is no.. use this as a learning experience. Goodluck!

♥[?]♥ Hi school is just getting ready to start and i've been homeschooled for the last year,or so . How can I get my mom to put me back in school???

♥[?]♥ I really really like someone but i dont think that they would go out with me so .. what am i supposed to do ? i really wanna tell him but he likes other people..?

You should definitely tell him!! Let him know exactly how you feel!! I mean, who knows what the future holds. It may be possible! Goodluck!
