I like this guy and I've known him for about 6 years or so but just recently became friends with him.Unfortunately i fell for him. My friend liked him before and although he wasn't rude and blunt in telling her he didn't feel the same way their friendship deteriorated. They talk but no where near as much as before. Now I'm stuck in this situation i don't want to tell him I like him because it will ruin our friendship. The thing with him is not that's he's a player but he is just a nice guy to everyone.I don't think he knows how to just give hints when he dosnt like someone, in other words he sends mixed messages. We talk and text all the time but deep down I think I know he dosnt like me. Should I risk our friendship or stay quiet and try to grt over my feelings for him? (link)
Dear I don't want to ruin our friendship,

It's really difficult to keep a friendship after this sort of liking:), but it is possible. Tell him that you're not really sure yet, but you think you might like him, and if he feels the same. i know this seems like a big deal, but to him he'll like that you're so blunt and to the point. Men are simple creatures. So simply ask him, if he doesn't at least then you will know


I worked for a dollar store for about a year up until last August. I had put in my two weeks notice before I started school, but when I only had about 3 shifts left I was hit with some person issues that were really upsetting and I didn't think I'd be worth having at work in that condition. I called my boss and told her I couldn't come in for my last shifts.

I feel bad about this and I'm on a kick about apologizing for my wrongs, so I was wondering what the best medium for apology would be in this situation. I would feel pretty weird/nervous about apologizing in person since it's been so long. I wouldn't mind phoning and talking to her, or I already have a letter written up.

What do you think is most appropriate/best? (link)
call and leave this message,

"hi,_____(insert name here), it's _____(your name), i was just calling to apologize for not going in for my last shifts. It was irresponsible and rude, i shouldn't have left you hanging like that. I had some personal issues going on at the time, but i realize now that that shouldn't have had an affect on work. So, sorry after all this i hope you still respect me as a person, as much as i do you. (end conversation)


18 - Eyebrows realy need to be done because they are looking horrendous! It will be my first time and I'm scared because if I go to a salon I'm scared that it will be liek overdone and I dont trust myself doing it. Advice please? (link)
Dear Eyebrows,

Keep your natural arch by only plucking hairs on the bottom side of the brow, you can get it waxed, but only if you don't have sensitive skin. i do, and my skin turns really red when i get them waxed, so try plucking them first, and stop every five minutes, go do something then come back and decide if you want to do more. Some people get carried away, and this is how it's overdone


hope i helped! tell me how it works out@!


monday through friday i take showers evrey day. and i usually curl or straighten my hair so i need to blow dry it, so i use heat tamer. and i dont over do it. but they after i blow dry it it gets staticy. so then after i curl or straighten my hair i have to put in serum. so like today i blowed it out and straightened it and the roots looked so greasy i have no idea why! i think some of it is because of the blow dryer. cause when it air drys it doesnt feel staticy or sticky or greasy..whats the problem hear?? also i hear putting egg or olive oil on hair helps?? how do i go about doing so? thank you lots. (link)
Dear greasy,

I used to have this problem, and i still know people who do, i defeated this however as follows: switch to a shampoo that doesn't have as much unnatural ingrediant(weighs down your hair) also do not use conditioner, use shampoo's with conditioner already in it, stay away from oily foods (fries etc.), try not to touch your hair as much, blow dry your hair upside down, and for you, your most important issue, is don't use that much product, instead for static you just pour cold water over your wrists (sounds weird but it works!) that's about all i got :)


Alright, sooo I think I might be falling for my best friend. I don't even know it that's how I feel (I never really do) but that's where it seems to be going. The thing is, I promised myself I would try my hardest not to feel that way towards somebody until I'm out of high school (I'm 16, junior in high school). I've almost always had crushes on guys, pretty consistently since the fifth grade. The feelings have pretty much never been reciprocated (apart from two instances but I don't even count them) and it just adds too much unneeded stress and emotion to feel that way towards somebody. High school relationships are sort of pointless in my opinion. But anyways... another thing, we've been best friend for almost five years. I don't get why these feelings are just coming up now. Maybe it's because we've become closer friends lately, and it's just the closeness I'm feeling?? I don't know. And lastly... she's a girl. As am I. I've never had crush on a girl before (if that's even what this is), so I feel kind of weird. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against girls liking girls, I truly don't. I just never thought I would like a girl like that. And I don't know if her opinion on that matter is the same as mine, and I'm pretty sure her parents aren't. And, she has a boyfriend. I don't want to tell her and creep her out or make her feel uncomfortable, especially if my feelings aren't really what I think they are. I don't know. I'm just confused about a lot of things right now. Any kind of response to this would be much appreciated. Thank you (link)
Dear Falling for my best friend,

So, i'm sort of homophobic, but i've come to realize it's just the way some people are,it's not gross, it's just them. So i do have some help!

the signs are as follows: you think of her 24/7 or you want to be physically close to her when she is around.
Since she isn't open to dating girls, you might want to weigh the fact that she could not feel the same way, and then see if it's worth keeping the friend.


If I work out at least 4 days a week, for 30-60 minutes each day, switching out between arms, legs, & core... How long do I have to work out before my metabolism changes ? (link)
Your metabolism isn't like anyone elses, and it takes its time, so there is no way to know. Keep pumping the iron, eat lots of fruit and vegetables, celery helps with peanut butter:) and it burns off more callories than you eat! so basicaly that's how:)


hey i am a 7th grader and i really want to be a prep but i just don't know how? if anybody can help me please do thankyou (link)
So, you see, being a prep is a state of mind. It comes from "prepared" which is a good thing, so that's what you need to be, "prepared". You don't have to be the mean, leathery skinned, cake faced, richgirl. All you have to do is be prepared. Be prepared for anything, but add your own touch to everything! People love uniqueness, and you don't have to even look amazing for that! So find cute clothes and things you like, and maked people love it:) embrace yourself and others will too! I know, it's shocking, but it works!!!!! the answers is you!


My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost four months. He never ever pressures me, and even though he jokes about some things, he is very patient and understanding.

The farthest we have gone is kissing. Sometimes I sit in his lap, but we do cuddle and hold each other a lot. I really do like him, and I know he really likes me or else he wouldn't stick around through my insecurities and teasing. I think we really connect as a couple and it's really great to have a loving, open relationship after so many heartbreaks.

Anyway, I feel really ready to go a little bit further in our relationship. I'm waiting to have sex and all that, and I am grossed out over tongue kissing, so I definitely am skipping that. So now I really want to show him my breasts. He used to say he wanted to but I told him to wait and he did so without protest. I'm a little nervous about showing him but I feel really ready.

So what do you think about this? And how should I go about showing him without fully taking my bra off?

Thanks! :) (link)
The idea is the for him to like you, not your boobs! So keep evreything under wraps or you'll seem mega-desperate! Besides, if you ever do breakup, boys will make up things to tell to his friends about when you showed him, even if they're not true, so his guy's won't like you either. So show him that you respect yourself, and he had better! Please tell me how this works out!
