advice

So there's this boy. He's a sophomore in high school and I'm a senior. (he's 16 im 18) I really really am starting to like him, but I think he might be too young for me? I don't know. Another problem, I used to like his older brother, but things got complicated and he went to college this year not wanting a girlfriend. I was ok and now we're just friends. But is that weird too? Could I be confused about my feelings for the sophomore and his older brother? I really do like matt (sophomore) I just think people may see us as too differnt in age. And I want to ask him to prom!! He always tells people how gorgeous he think I am and he's so sweet and funny. I'm basically really confused.

Well if your concerned about the age difference just remember that your age is just a number also no it's not weird that your friends with his brother he's at college you probably aren't going to see him focus on the sophomore it seems like he likes you seeing as he's said those things about you to others i'd give him a chance he deserves at least one everyone does there's no harm in trying if he says no to prom well then at least you know you tried instead of doing nothing there's plenty of other boys out there if you really like him then go for it cause you'll probably regret it if you don't :)

My dell computer was left out one night and the stupid cat spilled a glass of water on the table. The computer was sitting in water when I went downstairs luckily it was off and not plugged in. I took the computer and tried to dry it off and even took the bottom panels off and blow dried it. Now my computer keeps saying stuff like QuickSet has a problem that cant be fixed and it's definitely running alot slower. What can I do to fix it and make sure everything is ok. Is my computer ruined for good? If I took it to the Geek Squad would it be really exspensive to fix? please help!

I don't think it's ruined completely i'd first try and read the owners manual that came with the computer and see if there's any information in it that helps if there's none then i'd call up Dell and explain to them what happened they should be able to help you if that doesn't help then your next step would probably be to contact Geek Squad or visit a store that deals with computers also if you lost the manual you can always visit Dell's website just click on contact us at the top of the page and you'll be ready to go :)

Okay so im flirting with this guy and i have a strict rule on smoking/tobacco and all that. Well he does dip sometimes and i think thats the grossest out of all of them. I dont want to have a long relationship with this guy i kind of just want to go out with him for a week or two so other guys notice me. You all know how once you cant have them you want them more. Well that happened a couple years ago and i want guys to notice me more. Im not ugly though. Im 15; Cheer captain; Skinny; Long blonde hair and Blue eyes. Im not gonna makeout with this guy cuz that just grosses me out knowing i could have some kind of tobacco disease from him. Anyways do you think this is wrong; should go out with him at all?

Honestly i wouldn't go out with him seeing as you don't approve of what he does there's plenty of other boys out there it seems like your using him which if he knows you are it will most likely hurt him i would just drop it and move on
you shouldn't have to pretend to date someone in order for boys to like you :)

Okay, I'm an 18 year old gay/male in college. I've been told a lot lately that my flaw is that i have to many friends, and so makes it hard for people to date me. Lately everyone seems to be obsessed with me, i mean i don't want to sound conceited, but it feels like they feel like there something when there around me and like they have to be around me 24/7, but some of the people are just going and starting rumors to get people away so they can hang out with me more with out everyone else. It's been very hard and stressful lately, trying to please everyone and do what everyone wants me to do. I just don' know what to do anymore, its actually gotten so bad, i have to go outside with a different look so no one will notice its me. I just feel like i have the glamor famous life but i don't at the same time. What should i do? how do i just give up most of my friends and have alone time?

Well i'd tell them that you'd like some space and that you'll hang out with them another day i wouldn't push them aside completely seeing as you do need some friends you don't want to make yourself more stressed out then you already are i'd try and talk to them about it see what they say it's worth a shot and if talking to them goes wrong at least you tried there's no harm in trying :)

Hope this helped!

ok this is what happening

my parents are out with family friends, and they'll be back any minute so I need your help

heres some background

i volunteer on my cousins softball team (im 17, the girls are 15)

and whatever yea i met this girl, her name is Allison, and we're going out for a while. We have a lot in common, sometimes i help her with her homework. I helped her on an english essay and she still got a C. This is because her teacher is a prick... anywayz

So she came over like an hour ago, and i really want to lose my virginity, so I ask her to have sex

"no i cant its not right" she said but i told her "dont worry i know what im doing, ill be done in like 10 seconds, plus ill give you 2 n64 games if you say yes"

So I gave her diddy kong racing and ken griffey jr baseball, and then she goes to my room. shes a bit confused and scared.

Then i think to myself - yo I need lube right? Cuz I hear you guys on TW saying you need to lube up her clit otherwise it wont fit in properly.

Ok so I have no lube, but i really want to lose my virginity - so i grab some butter from the fridge, but its cold, it wont melt - so i microwaved it for 8 minutes, and then i put it in a glass and poured it on her cooter, now shes saying i burned it.

I don't know what to do, my parents are going to be back any minute and shes crying in the bathroom plz help you guys are really smrat and please help me.

Any idea how to shut her up? Should i give her another n64 game?

You obviously don't know what your doing your very immature and need to grow up seriously of course you burned her you put something hot on her butter is used for food not to replace lube that's common sense which you lack get her to the hospital you probably damaged her down below you should of let it go and shouldn't of forced her and no you shoudn't give her another game that's just stupid this is probably one of the stupidest things iv'e ever heard...

I got a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in the corner of my eye when I was trying to put some on my face (trying to clear up a zit). I think it may have gone in the eye itself. It didn't burn but my eye got very red. I immediately flushed the eye with cold water for 15 minutes and now it's only very slightly red. It still doesn't burn or hurt.

Will my eye be okay or should I go to the ER?

I think you'll be fine just don't put your fingers in your eye seeing as they are dirty
get a appointment with your doctor and see what they have to say if your worried tell your parents what happened and get their opinion i don't think you'll need to go to the emergency room :)

I'm trying my hand at theater/acting. I'm getting an agent. Would getting my belly button pierced hurt my chances of making it in the acting business?

I don't think it will hurt your chances i think they'll mainly be focusing on your acting skills and how well you act rather then pay attention to
the piercing if it comes down to someone not liking it simply take it out then once your finished put it back in again but if you find tthat it becomes annoying i'd leave it out for good

ok i get pissed throughout the day who doesnt ,but now when i get mad i dont think of killing who made me mad i feel like jumping on a spike or bashing my head against a wall.am i crazy ?will i be driven to hurt myself ?im not suicidal. i dont do it.its weirding me out with the fact i wanted to die didnt ,care if i lived, not even a month ago man.IS there a way to stop this before something serious happens.

Well i'd talk to your parents or someone you trust as soon as possible talking helps alot it allows you to express how your feeling that way you don't keep everything to yourself no i don't think your crazy getting angry is normal it happens to everyone not just you but i'd seek help quickly so your problem doesn't get worst once you get help you'll probably start feeling better too :)

I seriously am going crazy with this guy... his name's Kris and he's like one of thee most amazing, sweet, gorgeous, athletic, guys I have ever met. We had a big fling during the summer but it ended because of me :/ I ended it with him because there was so much drama involved in it (lots of rumors about him, girls were incredibly jealous/catty towards me, etc.) and I just couldn't take it anymore. He and I were like heartbroken well at least I was :( and I'm still not OVER him. Like it's been a month now and I can't seem to focus... not in school, or sports or anything without him in my mind! When ever I see him which is quite often I get butterflies in my stomach, my legs feel week, etc. I think I still like him a lot but I'm not sure... I don't know how he feels about me or if he still has any feelings for me for that matter and today at our school's football game I saw him on the bleachers with his friend and a bunch of girls... they were all laughing and I incredibly jealous (which by the way doesn't happen often because of my big ego) and even my friends noticed. So anyone wanna give me advice on what to do?!

Well i'd try and talk to him if i were you maybe ask him how he is and how his day has been to start the conversation just to see what he says and how he acts i wouldn't bring up the topic of what happened between you two i'd give it a shot to try and talk to him even if it doesn't end the way you wanted you'll still know that you tried there's no harm in trying and i wouldn't listen to any rumors in the future seeing as you don't know what's true and what's not as far as jealously is concerned let the other girls be jealous just do what you feel is right for you

ok about the shy boy.He is 16 years old. I am 15. I have asked some people in his grade about him, this is what i've found out. BTW this is gonna be long! He is shy,and has been picked-on in the past i guess because he doesn't meet societies standards of masculiity.He applies himself in school and gets extremly good grades. He cries a lot i guess due to low frustration tolerence. He also cried when people pushed books out of his hands(rude i know). He has never had a girlfriend which is good and bad for me. Good because compared to nobody i'm pretty good plus i'm giving him the time of day. Bad because if he did like me he may not have the courage to ask me out. Two boys in his grade(junior) said he was gay, which I highly doubt. He is on the swim team and plays golf. His family is fairly well off(he has a mustang convertible). He looks at me an awaful lot and during a convocation moved in the same row as me like four people away and looked at me like 7 times, but never spoke. He sits alone sometimes at lunch. When he does sit with others he sits on the end. Which I think means he doesn't like to feel closed in. After he is done eating he goes and sits with the populars but is not necessarily included in the dicussion if you know what i mean. 2 other juniors said to go for it because if I would just talk to him I have like a 90% chance with him. Arrgh, I am just soo shy though. I honestly don't know if i'll ever get the courage to talk to him. I know I am just building him up as something perfect in my head which is why it is so hard. I mean he's only human. So my question is really 2 parts. 1-What do you think I should do as in like conversation..ect. and 2- Do you think I have a chance in hell. Please be honest. And I AM SOO SORRY THIS IS SO FREAKIN' LONG!! SORRY

It's worth a shot there's no harm in trying talk to him even if things don't work out the way you wanted you'll still know you tried he seems like he's interested in you as far as how to start the conversation maybe ask him how his day is and how he's doing and how his classes are then once you've started talking ask if he'd like to hangout with you everyone deserves chances at least once i'd give him a chance seeing as it seems like many other people don't maybe he'll apperciate you making a attempt to talk to him and him having your company there seeing as it seems like he's alone most of the time

ok so i was dating this guy and he told he was going out with his friends and i was like ok and then my friends said that they had seen his truck out side his x girlfriends house and i didnt beleive it so i said ill go and see with my own eyes and sure enough it was his truck so i was crying and he told me that it was nothin that i did he just had the urge to cheat but he really loves me now im really confused cause i dont understand why he did that if you can please help or ever better email me at 2cute4u004@sbcglobal.net

Well he lied to you saying that he was going
out with his friends meanwhile he's at his ex girlfriend's house you deserve someone better
then him who will treat you with respect and who will be faithful he isn't worth your time i'd dump him if i were you there's no point of being in a relationship if your miserable you'll just hurt yourself even more if he truely loved you like he said he wouldn't of cheated on you he's a liar he couldn't avoid the urge which is why i'm guessing he did that to you

im 16 boy

i have REALLY bad luck with girls. i dunno if its bad luck, or if im doing somethign wrong. its not thatim ugly or fat. im 5'7, medium build, asian. whatever. but i always end up freaking girls out by the stupid things that i say. they said that i go on too fast, and some say too slow. so i tried middle, BUT THAT DOESNT WORK EITHER!

ughhh this is soooo confusing and i feel like giving up on girls forever. help me

please dont give me an obvious asnwer. i want details, long explanations

Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down and get yourself prepared before you talk practice what you want to say before you do start a conversation that way when you actually do talk you won't forget everyone's nerves get the best of them sometimes it's normal to be nervous

OK, see I'm going out with this guy...and he's really really sweet and nice and everything, he's what I think every girl would want. BUT the only thing is...he's not good looking....at all I guess...he's not like the ugliest person on earth...but he's just not cute at all. And like I'm afraid people at my school will make fun of me, because you know, Blue Valley..think about it..girls here..we judge...what do I do? Do I dump the guy? or do I keep on going out with this guy and ignore everything?

well do whatever you feel is right if you feel you should dump him then do so if you feel you should continue to date him then keep the realtionship going and if the kids at your school do make fun of you just ignore them because sometimes other people get jealous it's your choice not anyone elese's but yours do what you feel is right sit down and think should i dump him? or shouldn't i? then go on and make your choice from there.

>torn

well i wouldn't listen to your friends so do whatever you feel is right if you truely like him then ask him out it's worth a shot and well if he says no well at least you tryed and trying is better then not trying at all and just sitting and doing nothing about the situation also if he says no there are plenty of other fish in the sea lol i would sit down and think should i ask him out or shouldn't i? and then go on from there and come up with your decison.

I'm getting all these popups!! What kind of thing should I download to stop them?? Thanks.

well if i were you i would get a popup blocker that usually stops the popups from popping up there are usually websites you could go on to get the popup blocker or i would check stores like wal-mart or kmart they usually have them if you can't find it there go into a computer stores they should have it there.

what are the causes and symptoms of a yeast infection? i'm scared that i might have one, how can i find out? and if i do have one... i really don't want to go to the doctor...how can i treat it? please help!

well mostly to cure it you need to drink a good amount of cranberry juice i have had yeast infections and drinking cranberry juice cured it it should cure up in a few weeks and if it doesn't i suggest you go see your regular doctor.

I have this friend and she hangs out with me all the time and stuff but shes kinda mean to me and sometimes it gets to the point where im so sad that i cry . what should i do?

well i would sit her down and tell her some of the things you say to me hurt my feelings and makes me cry so i would apperciate if you wouldn't say mean things to me and could be a little nicer so you don't hurt my feelings i think that is what you should say to her and also tell her if it contunies to happen then we can't play with eachother anymore.

I told my best friend something that i didnt want anyone to find out, and she tells someone i dont think i can trust her ever again should i?

rate high

personally i don't think you should trust her because you told her a secret and you didn't want anybody elese to know but her and she told someone i mean how do you know the person she told is trustworthy and you don't know if the person she told will tell your secret to everyone or not tell it to everyone i mean her being your best friend you should be able to tell her everything without her telling anybody elese she should be trustworthy i mean if she told you a secret and she told you she didn't want anybody knowing about that secret you wouldn't tell anybody you you would be a bestfriend you should be able to trust her with your secrets but now you can't trust her anymore tell her she is going to have to do something in order for you to trust her again.

theres this guy i like his name is mike hes goin into 9th grade and im goin into 8th but he lives down the street he said he likes me alittle but when ever i see him i say hi and he sometimes doesnt answer me but on the computer im up til like 3 oclock talkin to him......but the problem is my best friend likes him ALOT!!

if he doesn't say hi to you sometimes then he isn't worth it plus if you like him and your friend likes him alot then he isn't worth it because you both like the same boy i think you should talk to him on the computer i mean id you really want to see him you could go right down the street and visit him.
