ok well i have been going out with my boyfriend 4 almost 6 months and i think he is the one. but sometimes i am like no he cant be the one and i just think and think about it and other times i am like i know he is the one. i love him 2 death and i know that will never change. but do think this relationship will last ?????? and is it right 2 think that your boyfriend is the one at a young age????? he is 14 turning 15 and i am 13 turnin 14
-confused (link)
it might last and it might not. i have no doubt you love this guy and he is probably an awesome person. but you'll go to high school soon and meet tons of new guys, and he'll meet tons of new girls. then it's off to collage and you meet even MORE people, and you might not even go to the same collage. i'm not saying it's impossible, just highly improbable. There is nothing wrong with seeing him as "the one" as long as you don't get carried away (making wedding plans, ect.) if you do keep thinking this way, if you break up you will be devastated and no one wants their heart broken because they were foolish (not that you're foolish at all for thinking he is the one, but if you do break up you might think you are b/c you could've prevented it) either way is fine and it's perfectly normal for girls to imagine things in the future, hey it's what we do! lol. But if he truly is the one, hold on like heck babe! I hope it all goes well in the future and i hope you end up with your one and only, who ever he might be! Good Luck!

I have a guy friend that I really like, but he's shy and I kind of want to leave hits that I like him. Does anuone have any tips for flirting, but not coming on too strong? I don't want to freak him out or anything... Thanks! (link)
it's called "the leg move" it sounds strong but it's very subtle and casual. if you're ever sitting next to him, like on a couch, pretend that you're bending down to tie a shoe lace (if you arn't wearing lace up shoes, pretened you've just dropped something) and as you bend down, casually place you hand on his thigh or knee as if to balance yourself. it's not too strong b/c it's very casual, but it will definitally get his attention! good luck! i hope it all goes well!

I'm 14 and I've never made out with a guy, but I think something might happen with this kid this weekend. I don't really know what I'm doing so does anyone have advice? Is it weird that I've never made out with anyone? (link)
aww it's ok! i havent' either but my friends have told me about what helps and what doesn't.
1.don't wear lipgloss, it'll go on his lips and he might be turned off by how it feels cos guys are wierd like that. a light shimer stick should be all you'd wear
2.before you meet him, two words: breath mint
3.don't act how they do in the movies, it's corny and no one likes ne thing fake,
4.be honest. you might want to tell him that it's your first time and that if he could help you out it'd be great. guys are more open and feel like they don't have to live up to past experiences if they know they're the first. he'll appreciate your honesty too.
i hope i've helped! if you ever need advice, you know where to find me!

ok i like this guy and we flirt a lot! he has a gf though. i think i've caught him staring at me and he always is sweet and nice. he is not the most popular boy in the class, but he is also the most sweetest boy. when we flirt people always point out to us that we are flirting and we both say" no we arn't" he is one of my friends too. my friend told him" dont cheat on prism(his gf) when we were talking and flirting. and he said " i wont" what does this mean? i mean i like him an lot, i had a dream that we kissed.

what does this mean?does he like me??

*confused grl* (link)
well figuring out boy's emotions is always hard. he may and he may not. it's natural for boys to flirt regardless if they're attatched or not, it's just in people's nature to do that. but don't give up hope! since he does flirt and talk to you a lot there is always a chance! just keep talking to him and be nice to prism while they're dating. if he dumps her, then wait at least a week before you go out with him. if you go out with him before then, people will think he dumped her for you and you don't want rumors spreading about you at all! and if you had a dream that you kissed, it means that obviously you like him! after all, dreams are wishes are heart makes when we're asleep! so it means that you like him a lot and that you'd really enjoy going out with him and being with him. so keep your spirits up and don't give up on him, you never know, he may just like you back! Good Luck! and if you ever need advice, you know where to find me!

so at my school if you dont live in greystone {The rich part} or wear abercrombi (which i think is pointless to pay 80 bucks for prefaded and pre riped jeans)any way if you arent privledged then ure pretty much the scum of the earth.All the punks have spiked or really long hair and wear black shirts and riped jeans. all the preps wear collerd shirts and north face jakets. any way they label the rich kids preps and the middle class to lower class punks. So punks hang out with punks and preps with preps but, this prep likes me and i like her and every one knows so we are both hated by our own soacial clases. so what should we do
(link)
do what you want to do, not what your friends want you to do. if you like her, hell, go out with her. and if people give you grief about it just say "hey, i'm a human just like you. we both wipe our own butt when we shit and i don't see why you are such a better person than we are." achem, not those exact words to that extent, but you get the picture. But don't be too cocky about it because if you break up and you were really bad to them while you were going out, they're not going to treat you any better. just be confident (but not cocky)in yourself and do what you want to do. it's better to regret something you did do, rather than spend half your life playing the 'what-if' game. so go out there and have some fun!I hope it all works out well! I hope i've been as helpful as possible! if you ever have any questions, you know where to find me!

Hey you guys i have a shag and sometimes it gets relly frizzy what could i do to help that? (link)
Try getting layers, it helps with the frizz thing that makes your hair poof out. To help, try using a frizz serum. You can basically go to the supermarket and get any type of frizz control serum, but make sure it's a trusted brand. I prefere anything by pantene pro-v, garnier, ect. Good Luck!

hey i need to memorize about a page for tomorrow about casmir pulaski for my polish school speech tomorrow and i only know a paragraph. can someone give me some tips on how to memorize things easier and/or faster? thanks, i rate good. =) (link)
Ok, read one sentence, then memorize it. Then repeat it to yourself. Then learn the next sentence and memorize it. Then repeat it from the beguining. So you gradually add on one sentence at a time. Like if the phrase was. "the cat was fat. then a dog walked by. Then the dog sat on the mat with the fat cat. Then the story ends. The End" Read the first line, which is "The cat is fat." so memorize that, then repeat it to yourself. then memorize the second line. "then a dog walked by." then, instead of jus repeating that sentence again. repeat the whole thing. say "the cat is fat. then the dog walked by." like that. it may sound confusing but once you understand it it's a piece of cake. it really helps me when i have to memorize stuff. so good luck! i hope you do well!

Ok well this may sound very dumb but here it goes . . . In P.E. we're doing swimming. Today I drowned during the class they were obviously able to resusatate me. I'm embarassed to go in school on monday. The girls in my school are very catty and news spreads fast at my school. I don't remember much of it. All I remember is trying to do a back dive into the pool and all of the water being pushed out of my lungs and trying to breathe next thing I know I'm laying o the hard floor with my class mates staring over me and the lifeguard. It was horrible and terrifying. How should I deal with the girls at school? Is it true that I could get Peunomia (sp?).
Thanks very much! (link)
To deal with the catty girls at your school, just be very confident in yourself. If they make a comment to you about it, just say "You have the emotional rage of a teaspoon. I'm not afraid to tell it to your face because you have a two second rebound rate and you're back to doing the next catty thing. You're the most unfortunate person i think i've ever meet and i pity you only because i feel sorry that you have to live through someone else for you to be happy. You're so pathetic. At least inhaling water isn't as bad as inhaling the amount of hairspray you suck in every morning." not exactly those words, but just shove it right back in their face! Continue through out your day and just try to surround yourself with friends and try to stay close to a teacher that might be watching, they'll have a harder time confronting you if you're not alone. and about the peumonia thing, it could be possible, but i wouldn't know. you might want to ask your school nurse or family phsyician for more information about that. Good Luck! i hope it all goes well for you!

I just recently invested a lot of time and money in this girl i like. She liked all the gifts that I gave her. I know because of MSN and texting back and forth. I even made tears of joy come to her eyes because of what I did on Valentines-day. Well now I think a "friend" has geven her the advice of playing hard to get. I've already done everything that I had planed and she just said that she wants to be friends. WHAT SHOULD I DO (link)
haha, girls can be stupid sometimes, i know...i am one. lol. ask her if she wants to go to the movies, casually of course. pay for her drinks and ticket (more money but she'd appreciate it none the less) and after you watch the movie, tell her that you really like her and that if she likes you too that maybe you could be more than friends if she wanted to. girls like to be lavished. they want attention and they want everything perfect...it's a pain. but if you're totally honest and play your cards right, she might accept your sensitive side. she just wants to make sure you really like her, most girls say no at first to guys b/c they think they're trying to play a joke. so just make her feel comfortable and be honest. hope it all works out well! always, carly


ok well i've been hearing from friends that my bf is goin all out for valentines day. like were goin out to eat and then movies and then he has something for me. and im nervous bout the whole thing. cuz i don't know exactly what were doing yet. i mean should i be nervous? its the first like real date we will be going on. cuz we usually just came over to each others houses. so should i just get over it or should i be nervous? (link)
don't worry. it's pretty normal to be nervous when you know your going to be with someone you like, even if it's all out or not. i think that's really sweet of him to do that for you. so if he's planned it out, things will be easier for you so you won't have to be so nerous on the date. you have every right to feel nervous, but if you want to seem more calm, just make sure you've prepaired yourself. plan your outfit ahead of time and get advice from your friends on what they think about it. then just make sure to bring breath mints with you (since your gunna eat, then sit next to each other at the movies.)i think though that once the date gets going you'll feel more relaxed and can mellow out during the date. just be open and feel confident in yourself, you can do this! I hope it all goes well! let me know if i've been as helpful as possible!

My friend wrote:

how's everyone? been not so pleased for the past few days thinking about my hip surgery. and watching ballet has been really upsetting to me, so today i had to watch a rehearsal for the ballet carmen that i was supposed to do, so that made me sad in the first place and then i had to teach the replacing me the role. and then this said to me "i can't believe you ruined your body" like i meant to. i had to leave the room before i started crying. i'm just afraid that when they do the surgery they'll look at my hip joint and tell me that it's so affected by the arthritis that i won't be able to pursue ballet anymore.ah well, must think positively

what can i do for her to make her feel better?! any suggestions?? (link)
i'm a dancer too and i went through similar problems with my knees and had to sit out on the side of the stage and watch someone else take over my lead role. i felt so overwhelmed and i can guarntee that she is feeling similarly. she isn't going to be truely happy until she's able to be back on pointe. (i'm assuming since it was a lead role it was on pointe)A good way that would help her get through this is to let her deal with it for now. let the show go on as normal as possible and let it pass. then the day after the show, you and some friends get together and put together a routine to a classical ballet and be really silly about it. do stupid stuff the entire time and make it really funny and draumatic. crazy hair, funky clothes, over the top make-up...everything. Have your friend be the audience and let her have a good laugh for a while. then afterwards (after you change of course) take her out for a chick night and go to the movies (let her decide what she wants to do and pay for her) this will show that you really care about her and that even though she may feel really crappy about the whole situation, she has great friends to back her up. the cure for sadness it laughter. so give it to her. give her the biggest uplift she's ever gotten and she will feel so lucky and thankful. just be there for her and make fun of the whole situation. if you mak fun of it, it seems less draumatic, less depressing and easier to deal with. i hope it turns out all ok and i hope i've been as helpful as possible!

I took like a week break from gymnastics and now I am going back tomorrow with a bunch of cuts on my wrist because I slit my wrists a few times over the week. I didn't think I was going to go back to gymnastics and I'm still not sure but I might and everyone will see the cuts and they're going to wonder what they are. I don't think they will believe it's from my cat. What should I say? I can't wear bracelets or anything over them that is noticable because we're not supposed to. Help!! How do I hide them? (link)
firstly i know you've heard it's unhealthy so i'm not going to repeat it. for now try wearing those large bandages, the ones that are about two inches by 3 inches that are usually used for your knees. those should be sufficeint for now. since all you asked is how to hide them, that's all i'm going to answer about. but if you have any problems that you need help on, i seriously wouldn't mind helping you. i hope it all works out and don't feel timid to ask me anything, i'm here to help. i hope i've been as helpful as possible!

i am 13 and i went and got blonde higlights on my brown hair and i noe the highlights will start to go away but i was wondering if i striaghten my hair everyday and wash it everyday will it make the color go away faster?? and is there anything i can do to keep my highlight from not letting the color fade away so fast?? can u plz help me!! (link)
Yes, straigtening you hair every day can reduce the color of your highlights. To prevent using your color and protect your hair, use a color-treated shampoo. If you have straight hair i suggest Dove Moisture Rich Color Shampoo, for $4 sold in drugstores. If you have curly/wavy hair i suggest Matrix Curl.Life Defining System Shampoo for $10, sold in drugstores. And if you have relaxed hair try Neutrogena Triple Moisture Cream Lather Shampoo for $6 also sold in drugstores. I hope i've been as helpful as possible! Good Luck!

I have blonde hair, and i want to lighten it so it's even more blonde, like the color or paris hilton's. my friend thats going to be ligtening it asked me if i wanted it dyed or bleached. what's the difference? which one should i do? (link)
Dying is using a color. bleaching is using a substance that extracts color. I suggest dying. Bleaching is much mor harmful and if your hair is frizzy it can increase frizz. When you bleach your hair, you hair soaks up the bleach which makes your hair swell because of the intake of bleach which makes your hair more poofy and frizzy. I highly suggest dying your hair, it keeps it at the same frizz level and doesn't damage your hair nearly as much. Which ever you choose, make sure you condition you hair very thoroughly to protect you hair. I hope i've been as helpful as possible. Good Luck!

ok well I don't know why (then again I do), but I feel numb.....Like my feelings... I like this guy, but he likes my best friend, yet, he wrote "I love you" on my planner.... SO I was confused about it.... I need to figure out y my feelings feel numb (that sounds odd) so if u could help I would appreciate it thanks

Shorty~ (link)
Sometimes when guys write "i love you" in girls planners they usually mean it as friends. My good friends collin and alex write in my planner that i'm their hero and write "i love you" all over the place but they both have girlfriends. Either he could just mean it as a friend, he doesn't mean it at all and just wants to feel good that he has girls swarming over him, or that he acctually does like you. Since he has a girlfriend and it's always proper to see the good in people before the bad, i don't think he'd cheat on his girlfriend. He probably was teasing you in a friendly way. Sometimes you can't tell if a guy likes you as a friend or a girlfriend and that's because a friend and a girlfriend are basically the same thing except one you have more intimate feelings towards another. the conversations are still the same, just the feelings arn't. you are probably just feeling really confused about all of this. you may truly like him and you may not. like the song says "if you wanna know if he loves you so it's in him kiss." i'm not saying kiss him, i'm just saying you can't tell what a person is feeling inside just by how they act. your "numbness" of feelings may just be shock that you think he may be cheating on your friend. well he probably isn't and just way playing around with you like a friend. although i could be entirely wrong but that's what i think. I hope i've been as helpful as possible. Good Luck!

Hi all well im babysitting 3 girls after xmas can anyone give me some ideas on how to keep them busy so its a bit easyer for me
roxie
ps ill rate any good ideas
have a great xmas everyone (link)
watching a movie sets them down for at leat 2 hours which is nice for you. Then maybe after the movie, ask them if they're hungry, if they are, duh, feed them, lol. Then play hide and go seek. since there are 4 people that's enough for a good game. then after wards you could have a coloring contest, like seee who colored in the lines the best or something. but make sure you have enough contests so everybody wins so they don't feel left out. after that let the kids decicide what they want to do. the little boys i babysit like to play on their string guitars and play with building blocks and stuff like that. Then if you STILL have time to spare, try watching another movie or repeating one of the following activities. I hope i've been as helpful as possible! Happy Holidays and Good Luck!

tomrrow im going to my boyfriends house...i go there all the time and my mom knows him and shes met his parents before...the thing is she trys to get WAY to involved...she wants me to bring cookies over there! she wants to "fix them up a plate of cookies and brownies" and me give them to his family...come on...THATS SO EMBARASSING! shes like oh but it would be so giving...i dont know how to tell her without fighting..hellpp (link)
it may SEEM embarassing, but it shouldn't be. I see no problem at all with your mom making them a plate of cookies and brownies. my brothers girlfrieds do that and he loves it, (so do i b/c they're really good!lol)Guys love food, they can't help it! Trust me, this is actually a GOOD thing to do because it breaks the ice. Plus, if it get awkward and you need an excuse not to talk, eating a cookie is a great way to cover it up! your guy will probably like you even more for bringing food and will probably invite you over more because he knows you care enough to bring him food. (with guys, if they're fed, they're happy.) so just go with it! i've never seen a guy protest to food before so i don't see how this could possibly end up bad! but if you really want to, if he doesn't like them, you could always say it was your mom's idea and that she made the cookies, not you! lol. I hope i've been as helpful as possible and good luck!

Hey there is this guy i met over the summer and i really liked him then and kept talkin and then slowly stopped talking and then resently i have seen him online and talked 2 him here and there and he called me last night and we talked like we use to and i think i am liking him again is there anyway that he likes me again? but how can i bring up that i wanna go out with him and everything and he got this new job at a bowling alley and he said it is free for friends and i guess he was kinda hinting at me coming but i am not sure, should i just keep talkin to him and hope things go well and what are some things that i can do 2 make him really like me this time and i not lose him again? thanks for any help (link)
there's no way in telling whether a guy likes you. but you'll definitally know it if he shows it. don't be really straight foreward on going out, it'll take a guy aback and suprise him and he won't be able to think straight. If you wanna bring it up, don't do it face to face. maybe a letter in his locker or talking online. i do definitally think you should go to the bowling alley to see him and bowl. (bowling would be your second priority,lol)one thing i do that gets guys attention, i call the "leg move." if you happen to be sitting next to him, lean over like you're picking something up or tying your shoe, then casually place your other hand on his leg like to keep yourself up. it'll definitally get your attention. another move you could try (this only works if he's not wearing a hat) if your happen to be walking by him, raise your arm up and run your fingers through his hair as you pass, i'll get his attention, let him know you're here, and drop a hint that you like him. a lot of people say small hints, well these people don't know guys. guys arn't smart enough to figure our small hints. try medium or even large hints if you're up to it. running your fingers through his hair as u walk by and the "leg move" would be medium hints. don't try large hints yet, you don't want to seem too clingy. but yes, keep talking to him like everything's natural. just be free with him and not seem unsteady or on your toes, guys like to feel comfortable around girls so make it easy for him to feel that way around you. I hope i've been as helpful as possible! Good luck!

How do you do a messy bun? I've looked all over the web to try and figure this out. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, who knows. Can anyone help me? (link)
first of all, IGNORE unfitfather003.

1. wrap a hair band around your hair 2 or 3 times(depending on thinkness)so that there is enough room on your hair band to make another loop.
2. Loop your hair through the band halfway so that the ends are at the top of your head so they spike upwards.
3. pull the ends of the pony around the circumferance of the pony so it's spread evenly
4.adjust how long or how short you want the ends to stick up.
I hope i've been as helpful as possible! Good Luck!
Always,
Carly
