You need to OBSERVE first: observe her body language(you know, us girls become a lil' bit more touchy to guys we like), the way she looks at you(if she's keeping Constant eye contact when you talk or even when you Don't talk!), observe also how interested she is to you (some girls--no make that A Lot of girls just talk about themselves(example:"I'm like this , I'm like that...etc...") but when she asks a lot of stuff about you, that only means one thing-- she's interested with you!
When you have enough clues, then it's time you confess that you like her. When you confess, you don't really have to ask if she likes you, too-- she will react and/or say something Naturally.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

Ok, so recently I met this guy I'll call George. I was out with a few friends and we had a good time together. I had met George before that time, but I didn't really talk to him. When I did, George and I got along very well and I began to have feelings for him. The next day, I found that he liked me too. Then, the day after that, I found that my friend, Bob, likes me. Unfotunately, I do not have feelings for him other than those of friendship. I'd hate to hurt him and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions are welcome. (link)

No matter What or How you tell this friend of yours that you don't have feelings for him, he will Definitely get hurt. It's natural. Being turned down by the people we like Really Hurts.
Just be honest with him. Tell him that you don't want to go beyond being friends. If he takes this positively, then good for you. If not, remember that you still have this "other guy" to lean on. ;)
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

I've always been close to my mom and told her everything. It's only now I'm realizing what she's doing to me.
For example.. she's told me to stop being friends with so many people. So I stopped being friends with this group of people because she was constantly saying bad things about them, and now I'm hanging with someone else, she's criticising him constantly too, calling him a "troublemaker" and now I'm getting put off him.
Well this same guy.. last night I went over to his place... we've been friends a long time and recently got together. I told her a few people were coming so it was a gathering. Only a couple of people turned up, but I didn't think it'd matter. When she found out, she forbid me to ever go over to anyone's house again, saying I lied to her by telling her it was a party. But I don't think that's why she's mad. She said I'm young and should be "going out" and its not appropriate for me to go to anyones place. She won't let me go to anyone's place unless their mother is home, but his mother WAS home. When I said this to her she said "you think his old mother would help you? She'd laugh if all those boys tried to rape you" This really upset me because his mother was very nice. She said this guy should "take me out" instead, but we DO go out..
I'm seventeen and very responsble. She knows I'm not having sex (marriage for me) but she says I have no "self respect" by going to boys houses. Right now I'm in tears at what she's doing. I don't know how to please her. I've always done everything she's said in the past. I've cut people out of my life when she's told me to, stopped speaking to people, etc but this time I can't stand for this. Can someone give me some advice? I realize she's only overprotective because she loves me, but this is going too far.
thanks. (link)

It's time you stand up for yourself. Tell her what's bothering you--her behavior. Tell her that you're old enough to handle yourself and make your own decisions(be it about choosing your friends, where you want to go, etc...).
Also, tell her that you're getting tired of following her orders and pleasing her. Tell her that you can't live forever her way because you have your OWN life to live, too.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit! (and good luck with your "little" talk with your mom ;) )

im 14/f and my friend is hooking me up with this guy and we've been talking online but no matter how much i try to get off the subject hes always like what will you let me do to you the 1st time we meet will you let me finger you n all that shit
and im like really uncomfertable because i never kiss a guy before and i feel like different
should i meet this guy or is he just using me for head
please help
ill rate 5 no matter what (link)

If I were you, i'd STOP talking to him and hell, i would NEVER, ever meet him. He just wants to meet you because he wants to release his "horniness"(uh, i can't come up with a more appropriate term, sorry!) and that's through you. Guys like him aren't worth your precious time, dearie.
Just find another guy who will treat you with respect and a guy whom you will feel secure with.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

Sometimes when im alone in my room i will talk to myself..like its hard to explain but i talk to myself out loud..except i answer myself too..its like i work myself thru my problems by talking to myself..does anyone else do this? or is there something wrong with me? i feel stupid for doing it and if anyone were to ever hear me i would die but is it okay to do this? (link)
|
It's Perfectly okay to talk to yourself from time to time especially when you feel down, have no one to talk to, or if you can't share your problems with other people.
It's true that almost all--no, make that All people do that from time to time because it(talking to yourself) serves as an outlet for all the stress that you have.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

okay...is it at all possible to feel as if you are totally in love with someone and then for a little while not feel as strongly and then a few days later feel in love again??....yea weird...i know but idk...
~thanks!

Honestly, I don't think it's really love that you're feeling right now; i think it's just a "case-of infatuation-mistaken-for-love".
That has happened to me a gazillion times already--you know, thinking I already love this guy and everything but then when i REALLY THINK of it, I realize that it's just infatuation or sometimes just a plain Crush!!!!
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

ok well i am a 17 year old male, and of course my problem involves a girl. i have a major crush on this girl, i mean the whole nine yards. sweaty palms, loss of words, clumsiness, you name it (which is wierd because i NEVER have problems with girls). the cool thing is that i think she has a crush on me too. the thing is, my best friend (17/M) also likes this girl a lot, although she doesnt like him. i need to know what to do in this situation, because it is driving me insane. i will provide feedback. Thank you so much! (link)
|
If you really like her, then go!go!goooo! tell you what, SHE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND'S PROPERTY.
I think the best thing that you can do is to find out first if She really likes you then ask your friend if he's okay with you going out with her. Just be honest. Yeah, he might get hurt, but at least you were honest and you didn't date the girl both of you like behind his back.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

hey, my name is lisa. i love to do makeup on myself. useally thiss is my morning routine
straghtin my hair
eyeliner
blush
mascaraa.
whatelse should i do? thanks
i would like websites. also. (link)
|
You might want to use lippie products(lip balm, lip gloss, lipstick....) too. Actually, if the shade looks really, really good on you, you can skip the eyeliner and mascara because lippies instantly brighten up the face.
for websites, try searching yahoo! or google and type makeup or beauty tips.... for sure you'll find a lot of great sites in no time.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

It's so weird, for some reason tonight, I'm so nervous, I can't eat, I can't sit still, and I keep on thinking about what's going to happen at school tomorrow.
The problem is, I have n-o-t-h-i-n-g to be nervous about.
Any advice on how to
a.) calm myself
b.) figure out why I'm so tense/nervous
Thanks! (link)

You know what? I can actually relate to your prob....
I used to be a worrywart before, too!!!!
But dearie, don't waste your time and energy thinking and worrying about the UNKNOWN. Don't be such a paranoid because you might lose focus on the things that you should Really be worrying about.
Why don't you try out a new hobby? Or watch a new movie? That way, you'd forget about all your "worries of the unknown".
Try this one, too(it might help you a lil' bit cuz it helped me before) : every night, when you take a last glance of yourself in the mirror before going to sleep, tell yourself, "Stop worrying (insert your name here)! Nothing wrong's gonna happen! Everything.Will.Be.Fine." Do this in the morning, too. You'll see good results after a few days, trust me.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

so summer is coming up and I have that little stomach bludge that people get and i hate it so much bc i am really self concious. what are some things i can do to get rid of that?
thanks (link)
|
I've got two things for you:
First- cut the carbs because carbs really make your tummy bulge.
Second-exercise. Do at least 30-40 sit-ups or leg raises every morning and night.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!
I also hope that you'd have fun during summer!

((14/f)) and the boy ((17/m))
k, so i met this kid at the beginning of the school year. and basically we've been in love ever since.
but we aint going out because of my mom
she hates him, and shes never even met him.. and she thinks that he just wants sex, cuz she assumes thats what every guy older then me wants. but ivee already told him that im not having sex, because i think im too young, and he understands completely. and i know he doesnt want sex, because its been 9 months and hes still here.
and we both really want to go out,
btu the problem:
my mom
and our school.
our school talks way too much crap
any suggestions on what i should do?
(link)

You can't really blame your mom for acting that way because parents tend to be OVEEERPROTECTIVE to their children especially to their DAUGHTERS.
BUT, if you learn how to gain their trust, they might just loosen up a lil' bit. If she doesn't allow you to go OUt(literally), then why not try to hang out in your own house? That way, your mom will be able to watch over you while you're spending time with your guy. That way, too, she'll see that he's not just after sex.
Hope I helped!

ok this is sort of personal but i don't care who answers it because i really need help. i'm fourteen years old and have a boyfriend that's been off and on for over a year. but we're so close now and are in love..no matter who says were "too young" we've gone pretty far in our relationship already, but not a home run. we've talked about going all the way before...but i'm not sure if i'm ready. sometimes i want to, but then i realize i'm only fourteen and shouldn't even think about wanting to. i'm risking a lot if i did this, but if we love each other is it worth it? so can someone whos experienced in this kind of stuff please help? cause i really need it.. thanks. (link)

Dearie, you're only fourteen. In my opinion, engaging in sex at that age is quite not right.
Think of this: what if you broke up after you had given him your "everything"?
You'd just feel wasted and for sure you'd regret that you did "it" with him.
Hope I was of help.

So I Wanted to know what should I do to get over this one guy. I really like him a lot. like I asked him out and he said that he would think about it and he never gave me an answer back. That was like 5 to 6 months ago.But we still talk and we are friends sort of.And he told his frinds that I was ugly. And I can't ignore him because he is in one of my classes. And whenever I stop talking to him he starts talking to me because the thinks that I am mad at him but i just wanna get over him and then we start talking again. And we have gotten in a couple of fights. And recently we got in a fight and he didnt rest until i forgave him like he texted me and called me and everything so I forgave him. But he still tells his friends that I am ugly and that he would never go out with me. So I dont knoe what to think anymore. Is he worth it or not? because he didnt rest until I forgave him but he did call me ugly.
(link)

I don't think he likes you because if he does, he would never,ever tell his friends that you're ugly. But I think that he considers you as one of his FRIENDs. Period.
Dearie, there's a whole lot of other guys out there that you can crush on. Stop thinking that there's a "romantic future" for the two of you.
Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

i have a really hard time meeting people. and when i do meet someone, i don't leave a good impression. they either forget who i am or they don't like me. is there any way to make better first impressions? (link)
|
The easiest way to get friends is through SMILING. A lot. When you smile at people, they'll think that you are approachable and friendly.
Then, strike up a conversation. Being a good conversationalist takes quite some time but you can definitely learn how to be one! I know it's a cliche but having self confidence really helps. Practice having a nice and sensible conversation with a close friend first, if you want. Then start doing this with other people. Being a good conversationalist also means being a good listener. Listen to what the other person has to say and avoid interrupting the person when he/she is speaking. The rule is to listen as much as you speak.
I hope I helped you a lil' bit! ;)
Have fun creating new friends!
