Theres this guy that i like alooot like you have no idea. its not love. well im talking to him online right now and i want to ask him if he would ever be more then friends with me because i feel like im holding on for nothing seriously. He knows i like him alot but he has never mentioned anything about liking me.

xThankkx (link)
Depending how close the two of you are, start your conversation with him about how cool he is and you really like him and would love to get to know him. Then let him answer you. Ask him if he is interested in hanging out with you. any more questions id be happy to help with them.


So I read your answer you gave to this one person about how you need to like yourself in order for guys to like you. I have a problem with that. I always complain about how my life sucks because I'm not beautiful (because I promise, I'm not) --and now I'm scared that I messed up my chances with this guy in my class who heard me say it. I know he kinda likes me but he hasint really done anything about it yet. I mean, how can I make myself like me? I hate everything about me. I try to stop complaining because I'm sure people get sick of hearing it -- but then I start complaining again. Why cant guys not care if you hate yourself, and try to help you out with it? You know?

Hello,


I just recieved your question and i will do my best to answer you. I want to point out to you are beautiful no matter what others think and no matter how you think when you look in the mirror. No one person is created to be as beautiful as betty in archies, or the so-called super models you see in magazines. Those are not real and are computerized images. Everyone is beautiful and unique in their own little way. Others may not see it but trust me there are those who do. I am not a handsome guy either yet some say i am. Everone will meet his/her soulmate sooner or later. Hard to believe? yes. I sometimes give up hope to. Don't and I say please don't feel so bad about yourself. Look in the mirror and say to yourself, i am beautiful, and smart, and sweet. Like they say beauty is only skin deep. What counts is what lies within. That is where the real beauty lies. When you turn 80, you will be wrinkly and stooped. Yet your inner beauty will shine. Hope I helped you.


Ok, so I really like this guy name trevor and i really want to ask him to prom cuz the odds are he wont. However, my classmate has asked 7 guys to prom already, being turned down by all of them, resulting in her being the talk of the school. My biggest fear is rejection, and if I get rejected, i dont want to end up like my classmate, being the talk of the school. Do u know of any other ways I could ask him or get him to ask me?

Much thanks (link)
Let him know that you think it would be fun if the two of you went. You're plenty good enough for him. He just may not be that enthusiastic about a prom. Go ahead and let him know what you are thinking, and don't let it get you down if he isn't into it.

1st rule: noone is too good 4 U. 2nd: don`t let him see that you think that, or you`ll ruin it. just try hard to be yourself & don`t act desperate either. just be cool and believe you`re hot.

Ask him if he has any plans for the prom yet. If so, nothing lost. If not, you can always ask a real friend. If he isn't available he probably knows someone good for you who is


(sorry its long, PLEASE, read it.)
what do you do when no boy wants you?

its quite depressing actually, the few people who have ever liked me are sort of, ehh, weird. Im not going to lie, i AM pretty. But i have a twin brother in my grade. and i was trying to pump him for information (what else are twins good for, right?) and he said no guy wants to date their best friends sister, twin, especially. im fed up with it. i love being a twin, its just that no guy likes me because of it. Also, my brother had a friend over during the summer, who was very cute. He asked "so, do you think my sister's hot?" and he said "sort of." im tired of being a sort of. im tired of being a twin. i really just want to know if guys would like me if i was the only one in my grade. My general Question: what can i do to get guys to want me? is there any reason they wouldnt want me?

please. help. (link)
.Learn to Flirt
Women who are great flirts are great guy magnets. Great female flirts are those who know that it’s women who set up most flirtations. How? By using ancient universal female flirting techniques. For thousands of years women from China to Australia to the United States have used this technique. It’s easy, it’s simple and it works. You see a strange man across the room who appeals to you, you watch him until he feels your eyes on him, your eyes lock for a couple of seconds, you look away and then back to him – twice. Yes, it’s that easy. If you sense him beginning to watch you with interest wait awhile (say ten minutes or so) and do the whole game all over again.

When speaking with a man who interests them women will usually tilt her head to one side or another. To strengthen your interest touch his hand or his shoulder briefly when you’re speaking to emphasize a point. This touch will show the man you’re open to him.


2. Like Yourself

Men like women who like themselves. It’s as simple as that. If your game has been to let men know how rough and challenging your life is try a new tactic. The next time you’re chatting with a guy you find attractive let him know about the positive things going on in your life. Don’t brag, don’t lie, but do be positive about yourself.


3. Get Out and Socialize

Prince Charming may find Cinderella at home cleaning house in the movies, but in real life you have a far better chance of meeting available single men if you go out and spend time where the available single men are. If nightclubs and bars aren’t your scene, no problem! Why not join a local chapter of the Sierra Club or sign up for events at your favorite museum? Instead of sitting home every night pick one night a week to spend at your favorite local coffee bar reading or writing in your journal. Shy men are far more likely to approach a woman and strike up a conversation after he’s seen her several times.


4. Enjoy the Company of Men

This seems like a no brainer and yet I’m amazed at the number of women out there who are on the hunt for a serious boyfriend or husband and yet seem to think that men are a different species of animal than us and are at best to be tolerated. If you haven’t really enjoyed yourself with the men you’ve spent time with in the past either you need to have a better understanding on what your interests, ideals and beliefs are and find men who have similar ones – or you need to come face to face with the fact that perhaps you’re not looking for a unique individual, you’re looking for your mirror image.


5. Have Your Own Life

There’s nothing that scares away an independent together guy more than a woman who’s willing to drop everything for him. Most of us have done this in the past; however, very few of us seem to learn from this mistake. Don’t wait for a boyfriend to have a social life. Have both male and female friends to go out and do fun things with. Why male friends? It’s a natural human law – we think a person others find desirable more desirable. When other men see you out with a male friend enjoying yourself they don’t assume he’s a friend – they assume he’s competition and it can really spark their interest.


6. Appreciate Your Appearance and Make the Best of It

Great, hot, interesting, available men don’t all want a woman who looks just like she stepped out of a fashion magazine, but they do like women who take pride in their appearance – especially when going out. Make up might not be your thing (it doesn’t have to be) but how about making sure your finger and toenails are in great shape before stepping out the door? Instead of always wearing jeans or pants in general why not wear a flattering skirt from time to time? How about making sure the colors you wear show off your complexion and make you look great?


Men like women who like being women. They like what makes us different. They like our curves. Some women are afraid you have to dress in an overtly sexual manner in order to get men’s attention. You don’t, but it doesn’t hurt to show a flash of leg and a hint of cleavage either! Men like women who know how to enjoy their femininity and their sexuality and they believe that they can tell this by the kinds of clothes a woman is wearing. Why not make sure you’re in the running?


7. Know How to Enjoy Your Leisure Time

This is another point that seems totally obvious and yet…So many women are so busy and “stressed out” building a successful career that they really don’t know how to relax and enjoy themselves in the presence of a man. Before you walk out the door for a date or a night on the town, remember to leave your list of life shoulds, goals and the- age-by-which-you-want-to-have-your-first-child at the door. A woman looking to fit men into her carefully planned agenda doesn’t attract men, she repels them.


. Do what you love.

Okay, you’ve heard this before but I’m going to say it again. If you do what you love you’re a happy woman, and happy women are like catnip to men. Men find happy women open and approachable (again, please remember how shy many men are). They feel a happy smiling woman is far more likely to give them a chance than a woman closed off and preoccupied. And you know what? They’re right!

I know it might not be possible at this point in your life to run off and follow your dreams because you’ve got bills and responsibilities – but that doesn’t mean you can’t find meaningful ways to add what you love to your life. Somewhere in your town or city there’s a possibility to take pottery classes, learn more about horticulture and create an amazing garden, or learn how to rock climb. Whatever it is you love to do if there’s a will within you to make it be a part of your life you’ll succeed.

Too many of us (both men and women) put the things we’d love to do on the back shelf of our lives thinking we’ll take the time later, forgetting that doing what we love is one of the absolute best ways to meet someone of the opposite sex we’ll really spark with.

So what would you love to do? Work in politics? Help plant trees? Learn a foreign language? Whatever it is you’ve been longing to do there are men out there who are already indulging their passion just waiting to meet a kindred spirit just like you.



Are there like botox injections for butts? Also, are there different creams, oils, and etc that help lift the butt? If so, whatare the names and are they really expensive? Thank-you. (link)
The skin is the largest organ of the body and other than bathtime, it's completely neglected. Brushing is the best thing you can do for your skin, and it takes just a few minutes everyday.
On dry skin, take a soft body brush or loofah and brush towards the heart:
Up from the legs and arms.
Down from the neck
Across your buttocks.
Dry skin brushing is more beneficial than brushing when in the shower. Don't scrub, massage or rotate the brush on the body; just sweep it across the skin in long smooth strokes. It stimulates blood circulation, tightens the skin and eliminates cellulite

Be interesting by being interested

Cut down the talk about yourself and ask him open ended questions. Find out about him – after all people generally enjoy talking about themselves and feel flattered when someone shows an interest in them. This also gives him the cue that you like to know a bit about someone before exchanging numbers or accepting a date.

Ask him what he enjoys doing

Women and men often tend to fall back on the line ‘What do you do’? To some men, this can smack of ‘checking for wallet-padding’. Alternatively Not everyone is doing the work they love, YET and the question may put them on the spot. Men are much more activity orientated whereas women like to talk about emotions. Asking them what they enjoy doing in their life will allow find out more about what makes them tick.

If you give out your number, give the genuine one

Carry a personal or business card to hand out. This way you know that when you give out your phone number you either give out the genuine one or not at all. Imagine what it must feel like plucking up the courage to dial a woman’s number only to find it is the local Chinese take-away.

Make the first move!

95% of men I talked to said they would love to be approached by a woman. If women are looking for equality then it is only fair that they do their share of the asking. It will also give you an opportunity to understand what men have to go through when making a first approach.



Ok well i have this guy friend that well he gives me rides to school and when he's working ill go up there to help him cuz i know that he can't always get it all done and sometime it seems like he likes me but sometimes it doesn't and he has a girlfriend and when hes around me it like its just me and him and the world is not even there and the girl he's with really doesn't deserve him and i'm not saying i do but anyways she really doesn't deserve him and he knows that i like him but sometimes i just don't know what is flirting and what is just being a guy......i need some help how can i tell if a guy is flirting or not.....

When a guy flirts he shows you his undivided attention. Winks, smiles, joking around, laughing with you, helping you, spending time with you. Calls you cute names. Talks to you more than others. Hows that.


Ok so I finally did it with my boyfriend. We have been going out for about 6 months now. It was my first time and he said it was his first time also. Now that we have had sex that is all he wants to do. And I'm not down with it. I've told him before but he doesn't listen and keeps trying. What should I do to get it in his head? (link)
Tell him you feel very uncomfortable with it all the time. Tell him there is more to a relationship than sex. Tell him if he loves you he would not pressure. If he still tries to pressure you to have sex than I think you need to split from him. Not necessary break up but split. If he than co-operates good. If he still wont break it up. Your not worth a sex craved man,. Sex is good but there is much much more to a relationship than just sexual fulfillment. Hope this helps


i am a 15 year old female...ok so heres the thing my boyfriend was having a bad day....something to do with his parents and when i asked him wuts wrong he didnt answer me all he said was "nothing" then i said are you lieing he said yes ....does anyone know how to get a boyfriend to open up and tell me wuts up (link)
I am the same way as your boyfriend and it used to drive my ex nuts. Guys like me have at times great difficulty opening up. Sometimes we think you might get mad at us. Sometimes we think we will sound stupid. Bottom line, low self esteem and confidence. How to get you boyfriend to open up? Sit him down and talk to him. Ensure him you are there for him. Tell him you will do anything to help him. Tell him you really care for him. Tell him you wont get upset angry and wont laugh at what he says. Tell him you love him very much. This is what guys crave and trust me he will begin to open up. Maybe not all at once but thats normal. Soon he will begin to tell you more and more. Take care


Hey my name is Rachel and Iam 16 years old and this boy asked me out yesterday,but he told me that his parents want him to break up with me without even meeting me and I finally found a guy that my parents approve of,but when I find a guy that my parents like his parents don't like me and I don't know why.How can I get his parents to like me without breaking our relationship? (link)
Hold your head up high. please dont worry about his parents. Parents are just like that. What you do is go out with the guy of your dreams. Be respectful to his parents. Dont do anything that may offend them. Be yourself. They'll come to like you once they know you. Remember it is true love that will conquer whatever comes in the way of your relationships. Hope I helped


hey i was the perosn who asked about flirty things that i could do to my bf. i was wondering if you had anymore. i am know to this dating thing and he is experienced with it. thanks so much.

p.s.

I asked out this girl about a week and a half ago.(i didnt know if i should or not and the advicec from my last question helped, Thank you!) where now going out and i feel somewhat intimidated. this i really wrird for me, i have a fun personality and am never embarrased but when im around her i get nervous and dont talk much. When i do talk i keep the conversation simple, i want to be able to keep conversation w/ her going and have our relationship go further now. I need help knowing how to start and keep conversation going and also how not to get nervous when im around her. (link)
Dont be nervous. Trust you me girls see that on guys. Dont ask me how but they do. Be yourself. Share jokes with her. Share eachothers interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. Comment on her clothes her hair her eyes. Open doors for her. Show her respect. Keep a smile on your face and your head up and you'll do fine. Think positive, and feel confident. Good luck.


I snuck over to my boyfriend's house and my mom found out and is thinking about making me go to bootcamp what should I do? (link)
Reason with your mom. Ensure her it won't happen again and dont do it again. Ask your mom of and on when you can see him. That way she'll know your not sneaking. Invite him over.


Hey im 13/f and I was wondering how do you get guys to notice you? I'm not ugly or anything guys just dont seem to ever like me theres always someone better than me to like. How do I get guys to notice me? (link)
Just be yourself. Smile. Always be in a happy bubbly mood. Let others see you are a happy girl.


does anyone here has some good tips how to get over a guy you really really love but just cant take this anymore???????? i really dont know what to do how can i get over him??? PLEASE HELP!!! i'll rate high for good advice (link)
if you really love him and he loves you give it another chance. Sit down with him and share your feelings. Open your heart. Find out why you broke up and together mend the broken puzzle. Obviously you really love him. Not getting back together and trying to get over him is merely impossible. It is moments like this that bind couples closer and builds a stronger re;ationship. Give him another chance and you will then see where you stand. Then you can decide do I want him or not. I hope this helps


what are some cute flirty things that cna do with my boyfriend. like mess with him and still have fun and not get him mad. like he likes to mess with my fingers and put them in his mouth and etc. what are somethings i can do .. an ideas would be appericated.
(link)
Yes fingers inthe mouth is good. My ex did that when we were dating. So let me help you. Being a guy myself, I will tell you from a guys perspective. When you are going for a walk, stick your hand in his back pocket. Just for a minute then take it out and slowly move across his buttocks and to the inside of his thigh. That is a very sensitive spot for guys and will definitely get them aroused. Another. Stand behind him when he is sitting and move your hands from his shoulders under his shirt and across his chest. Lightly though. Whisper cute things in his ears. make sure yur lips lightly brush his ears. When you kiss slightly nibble his bottom lip thenblow across it. Hope I helped you. Let me know if it worked. I know when myex did that to me it was an amazing feeling.


Wha kind of excersies can I do to firm my breast in 8 weeks? They aren't saggy but I dont want them to look so big. THank u for da help. I;ll give high rates for nething useful (link)



Push-ups:

Lie on your front and bend your knees then cross your ankles.
Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor a bit to the side and in front of your shoulders.
Straighten your arms and lift your body so you're balanced on your palms and knees.
Tuck your chin a few inches toward your chest so your forehead faces the floor. Tighten your abs.
Bend your elbows and lower your entire body at once. Rather than trying to touch your chest to the floor, lower only until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
Push back up. Don't lock your elbows at the top of the movement
Repeat this motion 10 times then break for a minute, then do 2 more repetitions
Palm Pushes:

Press your palms together in front of your breasts. Hold for five seconds, relax
Repeat ten times.
Forearm Grip:

Grasp your forearms at shoulder level and then pull outward without letting go.
Repeat ten times.
Finger Lock:

Curl your fingers, lock them together at shoulder height, and pull. Hold for five seconds.
Repeat ten times.


Hope this helps.


My boyfriend and I are in a rut about this summer. We live about 30 min away from each other but my parents work and neither of us drive. We are desperately in need of ideas on how to see each other and what we can do to make it last. Any good idea will get a 5. Please respond (link)
If neither of you drive and you have no other ride, my suggestion is provided you both have a bike, is meet half way. Then spend a few hours going for a walk or just enjoying eachothers company. If a friend of yours drives pay him a tip to drive you. Want to really show romance, call cab and get to his house by cab. take care


I've liked this guy in my government class for about a month now and we never talked, sometimes we'd say hi or smile at eachother but that was about it! Then this past thursday i was walking out of the office in our school and i saw him there, he looked like he was going to say hi so i said hey and smiled and he did the same then i continued walking. So later that night i got home and i checked my myspace and he had sent me a comment, saying, "Hey! How are you? Did you like the movie today?" (we had gone on a movie field trip that day). So i then i wrote back, and we ended up talking for like 2 hours online. Then friday when i saw him in class we said hi but it was kinda like before we started talking. Then after school, i went on a walk with my friend and saw him there playing soccer and he was like flirting a little and smiled at me alot. Then when i got home we talked again for like an hour. so what im asking is does he like me, is he interested, was he just shy in school, because im really shy and wasnt about to go up to him like we were really good friends, so maybe hes the same? also, this guy has alot of girls that are friends, does this mean that he just wants to be my friend and guys just randomly start talking to girls all the time, or does it mean he could petentially only see me as a friend? Well srry its so long please help i stink at guy stuff! (link)
Yes. He difinitely is interested in you. Why otherwise would he chat with you for hours at night. Not only that but if I read correctly he sent you the vibe. Vibe? How? He sent you the first messege. If you sent it first and he responded, it would be different but the fact that he smiles at you on a daily basis and intiated the chatting is a definite sign he is interested. Hope this helps
