Q: I'm getting advice for my friend.. Ok, well my friend is going out with this great guy, adn when she told her mom that he liked her.. She ssaid taht she should only be friends with him.. How can she tell her mom they are going out without hurting her feelings???
Would that "friend" be you?

Q: Well, I'm a 16 year old female and my boyfriend and i have been together for about a year now. We are so much alike and everything has been absolutely perfect. But no, really.
We waited a while (about 9 months) before we lost our virginity to each other.
My parents absoluetly love him and he spends the night all the time.
There is never any awkwardness between us.
When we tell each other that we love each other, there is no doubt in either of our minds that it isn't the truth.
And he proves it through the smallest gestures.
I don't know, it really IS unexplainable.

How do you know if you're truly in love?
I can tell and you are truly in love!

Q: okay well my parents got divorced when i was younger and well i lost in touch with my dads side of the family and i havent seen them since i was little well recently my sister lives with my dad and i live with my mom so my sister gave me there phone number and email address and well its kind of weird cause there like my cousins and well to me there like strangers and i dont know what to do
Try talking to your mom and your sister about getting your whole family together.

Q: i know when you have a - and a + you subtract nd when you have a - - or + + you add them but when you have a - + + does it equal a negitave or a postivite? and so my question is is a + plus + postive or negitave and when a - + - is the answer a negitave or a plue and when it's - + + is it a negitave or a positve. WILL RATE 5"S THANKS!
a + plus + is postive and a - + - is a negtive and a -++ is postive.

Q: Why do advicenators let people cuss when they are asking a question or an answer. ???
I don't really like cussing myself but just try and handle it.

Q: Opinions, please!
I'm looking for a cologne (hopefully under $50) that my boyfriend would like. I know he's into mild stuff - like stuff you can spray and not choke yourself and other people with - and kind of oceany-breezy-type-smells...Light stuff.
Anyone have any ideas for me?
I'm new to the world of scents...my mother has allergies to like, everything and I'm finally in college - I want to be SCENTED! Lol...So yeah.
Any suggestions are helpful =).

Amd i am terribly sorry to everyone who has been answering my ?s. That i keep talking about my best friend who i have a major crush on and she knows it. Anyways...

Ok my best friend know i like her and when we talk about the boys she likes i sometimes ask her "but what are looking for in a guy" she tells me now somtime in the the conversation she always says seriously "Well maybe one day i will just go out w/ you"(something along those lines anyways) Now is she hinting something to me(she has clearly satated she has no crushy feelings for me. so what does this mean.

Is she lying to me when she says she doesnt like me

This is my most important ? yet

And i would just like to say thanks truely and deeply for all the people who have/will help/helped me out.

Much love, thanks, and prayers for you all

I think she is just trying to make up her mind. Or she doesn't see what is right in front of her. When she is telling you what she is looking for in a guy and says something that you are say well i'm that. Just don't say it too much because she might get annoyed. Compliment her on her hair and clothes. Don't act stupid if she gets a bf just wait and see what happens. Girls hate it if guys try and show then how bad that guy is. But you should tell her if he is cheating on her. Be on you toes like if she forgets to do her homework let her copy yours just don't watch her all the time if you do this she will find out that you like her.

As for asking her out. Do it on a day she is really happy. Maybe a day when she doesn't have any test. You should try and do it where it is quiet or not to loud. I know i wouldn't like it if someone asked me out in a lunchroom or bathroom.

I think you should also be asking what you should do if you ask her out and she says no. You should say oh well it was worth a try and ask if you guys are still friends. If she says yes. You might not want to stick around. So if or when you ask her out you should probably do it at the end of a class or the beginning. This way you can have time to think about what you are going to say to her the next time you see her.

(Only do this if she says yes when you ask her out)Bring her flowers and write her love notes(you should probaly type them girls can't stand love notes they can't read)get one of your friends to give your chocolate with a note. Complament her on her clothes and hair.

CLAIR GOOD LUCK!

Q: So I've come to the conclusion that I'm not very ugly, I'm just okay looking. My problem is that I'm so terribly shy with people I don't feel 100% comfortable around. And this is really affecting how people see me. I had 1 boyfriend a few months ago that I met at a show but got to know onlne, and online I'm really outgoing and talkative and charming because I have the whole internet to shield me. This is why it worked for a while and we went out and had fun and all that good stuff. Now if I could just open up and be myself around guys I see every day, maybe I could get somebody. How can I do this? Please help.
Find a friend that has alot of guy friends and go to the movies and then out to eat or something this should get you around guys. Try to start out with guys you don't like and then work your way up. Just remember to be yourself and have fun. CLAIR

Q: OK I know there's a lot of guy questions out there but one more wouldn't hurt. My crush said hi to me this morning and he looked back to smile at me. I think it was because I had makeup on and my hair looked nice for a change. But I want things to move faster. I wanna be able to talk to him but I don't want to make a total fool of myself. I know exactly where he hangs out too. How do I talk to him without making a total fool of myself? 15/F


Signed, Secretly In Love*
find a subject that he is good at and then go and tell him you don't understand it. Try and get him to help you with it and then when finished try talking to him about some different things like things you like to do. Hope this helped CLAIR

Q: okay, soo, i'm a female 13, and i'm an asian, but i'm kinda goodlooking, and i don't know how to be popular? so if anyone can tell me how to be very populer i'll luv ya'll, and rate u high!
talk to everyone that you can, get involved in school and go to all the parties you can. CLAIR

Q: I'm about 10, 15 pounds overweight and I'm trying to lose weight. I've always heard diet and exercise, but since I'm not EXTREMELY overweight, would it really matter if I went on a diet and instead just exercised. Would it work? I mean yes I would cut back on food a bit (especially snacks) but I don't eat too unhealthy anymore especially since I stayed at about the same weight for the passed yr. (I gained about three pounds when I've gained the extra 15 from three years before, thats about 5 a year and I cut down my food and only gained 3!) The problem is I am terrible at exercise, I hate running and playing and bikeriding but I've also put off exercise so I never really was very active. So, if I get on a schedule and actually DID my workouts, could I just stick with my regular diet I'm on now? (Except add breakfast, I've heard that helps and probably eat lunch every day (unless I REALLY hate the school lunch or forget money) Right now I don't eat breakfast, I hardly eat lunch, I eat a snack when I get home (usually chips) and dinner (except on some weekends I may get hungry at night and eat). Thanks!

Also, if anybody has any exercises I can do to work my legs (upper and lower), stomach, and butt that would be much appreaciated also!!
Excising would be more effective swimming is the best way. But you shouldn't go and eat 500 bars of chocolate so you kinda need to eat right not really a diet tough. CLAIR (not that you do eat 500 bars of chocolate i was just trying to empize my point.)

Q: Hey does anyone know if the listerine for whitening your teeth really works?

thanks
Yeah i have been doing it and it really does work! CLIAR

Q: okay well theres this guy on my bus and well i think he likes me he told me im pretty and now he always wants to talk to me and he stares at me alot but see he only speaks spanish hes from el salvador and he doesnt know alot of english and well im mexican myself but i only understand it i cant speak it cause when i do it sounds terrible and plus i dont really know how to say some words still
he deffently likes you try and say the words maybe he will understand and he should pick up on english soon.

Q: i was cleaning my sons ears with some q tips and noticed some small amounts of blood on it i feel so bad and scared should i be scared blz help concerned mom
You know we are just teens you would probably know more than we do. But i would take him to the doctor or call him just to be sure.

Q: When a guy says maybe does it usually mean yes? Like my one friend asked the guy I liked if he'd ever go out with me and he said I don't know maybe. So do you think that means yea since to guys maybe usually means yes?
It usually means yes and they just don't want everyone to know. CLAIR

Q: ok my birthday is coming up soon well not really but i like to know things before ok my birthday is in the spring and i was wondering what are some fun things to do like what games and where can i have it at like my house or like bowling rink or skating place. i dont know can you give me more ideas and things to do with about 13 people i go to private school and theres about 13 in my class.i rate high
My birthday party was last weekend. We had a shaving cream fight. Its really easy to clean up you just have to spray it down with the hose. You will have to have a bottle of shaving cream for everyone though but you can get them at the dollar store for a dollar. Get a big sock and fill the sock with shaving cream then cover the outside in shaving cream. Just go around wacking people with it. Its great fun. Just don't jump into the pool afterward because it take a long long time to get out. You have to wash your hair really good or it feels really really bad. Hope this helped it really is fun. CLAIR

Q: I was looking at my boyfriend's myspace friends, and saw that on some girls picture, he had commented "that pic is fucking hott." should i be concerned at all? do you all think this is a big deal or something i should just let go?
You shouldn't be to concerned but you should ask him why. Don't let it blow over like it was nothing because then he might think it is alright to cheat with you even though its not. CLAIR
