Q: f/17
me and my boo, weve been talking for a long time like 6 months, and i think its time i ask him out since hes so shy. I seriously think hes never been in a relationship before and im surprised he grabs my hand wen we walk or puts his arms around me alot. I want to ask me out but dont know how. Hes really shy with that, and how can i ask him to be my boyfriend without flipping out, like getting a heart attack because he gets nervous?????I really want to be his girl, i need advice. How can i ask him to be my boyfriend???
for the first part of your answer...in a situation like this your just going to have to go for it. the way it sounds, he probably isnt apposed to the idea of being with you, since the two of you already act like it. maybe he's just unsure of what you will say if he asks you, and yeah, he's shy. but im sure if you ask him, even if he does blush or something he would most likely love the idea, and have no problem with it really, so if i were you i would just go in for the punch.
the 'feel his lips' kiss you should try either right before or right after you ask him. just i dont know its kind of hard to explain how to kiss...ok tap kisses are light and quick, right? so for a longer more feeling kiss, you should lean into him a little more and put more pressure on his lips [nothing to hurt him of course...haha] and stay there for just a few seconds and release. and if you decide you want "spit" then you could go ahead and french kiss him by after leaning in for your kiss moving your tongue to his mouth and moving it around for a few seconds, and if he doesnt respond by doing the same then bring your own tongue back. i hope things go well for you just dont be afraid to move right in and do what you need to do!

Q: ok so me and my boyfriend have given oral to each other and i gave him a handjob. we're both virgins and we want to do something new but we're not sure if we want to have sex yet. what can we do?
yeah this is completely fine, since you shouldnt have sex until your both Ready. you could have anal sex if you wanted [some people dont like it as much] and also im pretty sure he probably has done this but fingering would be alright. also a thing you two might enjoy is spooning or forking. yes he'll get right up close to there but he wont get inside you and the pleasure should be quite enjoyable to both of you. just be imaginitave i guess and dont do anything you dont want to do!

Q: Does anyone know any good ideas for concealer that won't fade with sweat and will stay on all day? I'm going to be out in the heat & sun and have a few pimples to cover up. Does anyone have a few suggestions or products maybe? Thanks.
i've always used mary kay concealers and it always stays on really good for me. i know that one of my best friends uses revlon and hers usually looks like its staying put just right too. so there are two options for you anyways hope i helped!

Q: Ok sorry if this is long,
i used to cut my wrists in 5th and 6th grade(im 13/f) but i stopped. Now im just really tired and hungry all the time. the only thing i do is play online video games and sleep and watch TV. My mom thinks im this happy kid and all, but i'm not. I've just been sad a lot i get headaches and chest pain and i wonder if i am depressed. My cousin is always being mean to me and calls me bad names. I feel like if i tell my mom i'll be failing her or something. Do you think im depressed or am i worried for nothing? and if i am, how would i tell my mom? or who else would i tell?
you can either start by telling someone, or start by trying to fix it yourself. im going to tell you how to travel down the second option's path. try to find some sort of exercise you can do every day. weather it be running, shooting hoops, or volleyball or softball or something like that...even just walking!, you need to do something to get you out of the house and doing something that is all around good for you. exercising makes you feel good too, and helps you think about a lot of stuff while your out there quite frequently, too. try hanging out with your friends more, or joining a youth organization of somekind, and/or lots of clubs and sports in your school. things to help you get yourself out there and enjoying things in life are one of the best ways to help you feel better. do that for quite some time, and see how far you get. i was like you once, and now even though i have other issues, i have found myself to be in general, very happy.

Q: heyy i think im about ready for a more intimate relationship with my bf but
1. I have never been fingered before and I am worried about what the male thinks of pubic hair and what i should do about it and also what response they like and generally how it works
2. I have never given a hand job/ blow job and would like tips and advice plzz o"o
3. I have heard that it hurts first time...

thankyoo any advice woudl be appreciated :]

xx
oh god yeah, i think a lot of people have these worries before they start getting more involved. i know i did!
1. fingering may feel a little weird to you at first, especailly if you dont use tampons or anything..so nothing else has really ever been up there. but it will start to feel good and usually he will probably do it when you guys are kissing and making out anyways, so it wont be like an awkward moment or anything. the reaction will come natrually. if it feels really good then you will probably make some kind of moan noise or something, but dont try for it.
2. its not that hard to please a guy when it comes to gettin intimate with him, and messing with it "down there" makes it that much more easy. just sort of 'feel it up' i guess you could say...you'll most likely catch on once your actually doing it.
3. yeah, its gunna hurt. but nothing to worry about too much your cherry will most likely pop which means a little bleeding probably. but im sure if you do it a few times you will start to get used to the feeling and be able to enjoy the pleasure&closeness you two are sharing.

*4* now, i dont want to sound like your mom...haha, but dont do this unless your sure you wont regret doing things with him later on. you sound more sure, since it sounds like he's been your boyfriend and its not just like "i got a new boyfriend and i want to have sex" but just make sure your absolutly ready:)

Q:
Me and my Boyfriend were kisssing and he stops kissing me grabs me,and kisses me on my forhead..He always does that and then after he is finished he grabs me tight and Holds unto me for awhile.so i was teling my friends about what had happened And they just Looked at me like it was the stupidest thing ever...err..They didnt find it cute i think they found it childish or origninal and i dont think much men do such things..Is it me or was it realy sweet? or am i just a sucker for stupid things such as that.
no, i think that is really sweet:)
your friends might have thought ok why did she tell me that or they might possibly be jealous, too.
doesnt really matter, as long as you know he's being sweet and that's what matters!

Q: I've liked my bestfriends boyfriend since before she started to date him. And now after two months they broke up. In fact shes even going out with someone new again. So I have my chance to go out with him. And I took it. I told her and a lot of different people that I was only going out with him to hurt him, which I would never do. I even about convinced myself that I didn't even like him. Now he said he loved me and at first I was hesitant to say I love you too, but I said I love you. Everything would be great but I know its just not right to go out with your bff's ex, especially when she says she doesn't love him when she really does. Also summer vacation just let out and she is going to a new school next year so she'll probably never see him again but I will. I just want to know if you think I made the right decisions in what i did. and if you think otherwise don't be afraid to tell me becuase I don't want to make the same mistakes twice.
honestly, i dont think its right for anyone to go out with their best friends exboyfriend. because believe me i know that even if your over the guy, it is a little awkward and well pretty annoying...really annoying. so unless the friend comes out and talks about omg i think he likes you and is all you know, girl, about it...like she doesnt care, then next time if this doesnt happen i would not go out with the ex. and if you do, dont lie about why your with him. because when people do that it only hurts other people more when they find out you were lieing. whether it was directly towards them or not.

Q: when teenage couples hug (guy/girl)
do the guys arms go around
then shoulders
or the waiste?
and same question 4
the girls? thanx
really either way.
usually it starts out as the natural impulse to have the guys arms around your waiste and stuff. but after a while either way gets more comfortable.

Q: does anyone know where a good website for spelling is..

Q: Is it okay to lick a vagina during sex? Me and my spouse haven't tried sex and we are newly wedded but I'm just making sure if is it okay to lick a vagina.
in general yes this is ok: this is called "eating her out"
but just in case you should probably check with her to see if she is into that. some people arent and you should either ease into it and see if she pushes you away from that area or just flat out ask her.
have fun;)

Q: ok, so drinking water helps you lose water weight? technically, how does water help you lose weight? what effect does it have on your body?
really i'm not sure that its as much of the water itself as it is other things. for instince, water is really really healthy and a good alternative to pop and gatorade and stuff. so drinking water is healthier, which makes you more healthy, making you lose weight. so in a way its not the water making you Lose weight, but its helping you keep off unnecessary calories.

Q: what is a "leap of faith"
even though im not exactly sure, i think it means kind of like taking a risk and you hope it will turn out for the better. like there's a new job and its in a way different town and way different life style but you take it anyways just hoping that it will turn out to be really good.

Q: Well I like this guy named kyle, we dated before but only for 6 days because his friend lied to me and say that he was cheating on me, which he wasnt. We've started talking again& I like him alot, but I think he's changed, he's had a couple girlfriends since me& well none of them have been real good, like to him or anything- I think he's starting to become a "player" and well I want to change that, how can I? He likes me too which helps.
yeah, i know what its like to want to change some things about a guy. and well since he likes you it makes it that much more easy. just let him know you like him too but not the things he does. and let him know what kind of girl you are and exactly what you stand for. you could go ahead and start going out with him and just keep on putting your foot down on the things you dont like. if he likes you enough he'll get the picture and Want to change.

Q: okay so i started my period last saturday night (like i noticed it very late at night on saturday the 12th) and i'm supposed to be hanging out with my boyfriend this saturday night..is there anything i can do to make my period go away sooner? i think it'll be pretty much gone by then but do you think it will it be gross if he fingers me even when its just the tiniest itsiest bit still there? you know what i mean like when it's just about to go away?

:( please help!
hey omg i know how you feel.
well i know exercise can usually make it go away faster, so try doing some physical activity everyday. and even without it and your normal shower everyday...your period should be done by then. but if you wanna make sure, exercise!

Q: 14 f
ok so my body is maturing and i hate it! like having puberty hair and getting big boobs. i hate it. sometimes i never want to take a shower becase i hate seeing myself naked. i am such a momys girl and i know my mom hates it that i am growing up! i dont want tog row up! i hate having a mature body1 i dont feel ready or mature what should i do?
honestly, there's nothing you can do about growing up. your body is probably in the middle stage of maturing and so yes, its gonna look kind of scraggly for a while. but in a while it will start to get more shape and figure and you will probably start to like it some more once you give it a chance to catch up with itself.

Q: the quote "here's a little something that every girl should know, it's okay to hold on, but eventually, you'll have to let go."

i know its time to let go , my brain is ready to but my heart just wont give up . i still talk to this guy all the time and he always says he loves me and junk , but i know he doesnt mean it . i have tried to stop talkin to him &nd it works for a couple of days , then he starts callin &nd sayin he misses me &nd junk . i just give in . i dont know what to do . someone help me !
ugh.
i know exActly what you mean. he keeps calling you, saying he loves you, and you fall for it. to sum that up.
well the same thing happened to me.
except one of the days after calling me and saying that, he got a girlfriend. and my best friend.
so he probably knows..no, he's not over you either. but sooner or later he's going to "move on" anyways. and even though even then he might not be all the way over you, it will hurt you a lot and you have got to try to prevent that from happening...as much as possible.
so i dont know exactly How your going to go about doing this...but i'm just going to talk.
there is a lot of guys out there, and pretty soon your going to find another one you really like. and aside from that, there are a lotta hot ones to look at for the time being. you just need to start noticing, you can do a lot better. you know he doesnt mean that he loves you, which is good on your part, so since he's 'just saying that' you can know to look for someone who will treat you a lot better and mean it.
just keep letting yourself know that, and whenever he calls next just tell him no you dont mean that and you need to give me space to let me get over you...because i need to. it is the best thing for me and i know you Dont love me, but if you care at all you will want the best for me.

Q: i weigh 130 and i'm 5'5 with a 26 inch waist. im not sure if it is or not. so, is that normal, or not?
this is deffintly normal. dont worry about it too much and if for some reason you think your 'fat' then maybe you just wanna tighten up some muscles or something, not nessicarly lose weight:)

Q: Me and this guy were making out and then we started dry humping and his pants were wet so is there any way I can get pregnant? I was in jean shorts and he was in khaki shorts so that's enough clothing to prevent it right?
yeah, the clothes should deffinitly be enough. u most likely will only get pregnant if he actually gets inside you...which you have to be naked to do, of course. and i guess there could have been a chance if his bare penis came somewhere near your area, but it doesnt sound like he did, so you should be ok. =]

Q: 15/m last year one of my friends told me that she loved me. i told her we'd be better off as friends and i pretended not to like her...cause i really do i dont know why i did it i guess i was just scared of her leaving me cause all the friends i've had broke up with me and i didnt want to go through it again but i really regret not letting her know how i really feel cause i really do love her and she's a really good friend to me and a fun person to hang out with we talk and everything but i dont know what to do? help please
welp hunni theres only one way to fix this...and thats to tell her exactly how you feel as soon as possible! i know because i've been in your place and the other girl before...but im telling you especially if she's your friend anyway she's gunna want to know that you feel that way. and since she used to like you it shouldnt seem really random that you come out and say that, if your worried about that. if she asked you why you waited to tell her, tell her the truth and since she's a good friend that she is, she will hopefully understand
and even better, hopefully give you a second chance!
