Write him a poem and a picture to go with it. Sounds childish, but I'm sure you'd appreciate that if he did it for you. All guys love food, so maybe if you got something for him like some pie or cake that would be nice. Good luck.

Like any business, you are going to need people to know about you and what you do. That can be done through advertising [ironic eh?]. You could start off by posting bulletins in local places people go to like grocery store, gym, train stations [if any], hospitals, etc. If that doesn't get too much people interested, go out and ask any local company if they would be interested.

Get an ad in a few local newspapers as well. Make sure you are clear about what you do and who you are looking for. E-Mail anyone and everyone you know about it and ask if they are interested or know anybody that is. Good luck.

You'll need to plug it into your computer, and on iTunes, open up your library - right click on the song you want to remove and click clear. It will ask you if you want to delete it, then press yes. Hope that helps.

P.S. - After you do that you have to right click on your iPod icon on the left hand side and click update.

You can also keep the song on your iTunes and take songs off your iPod. Once connected go to Edit > Preferences > Click on the iPod tab - then click on the box that says 'Update only selected songs. From there, go to your library, and see the little blue box next to every song? Only if its checked off will it update to your iPod. Then of course update it again. Good luck.

Surprised nobody listed the best ones of all:

No offence or anything, but would you see yourself becoming lesbian? I'm guessing the answers no, so with that in mind, it doesn't seem likely he will change. No, it's not impossible - but very very unlikely. You could try being the best friend he could possibly have, in the hopes that he would like you maybe more than just a friend. You do have determination, so don't give up. Hey you never know. Good luck.

Well...a brilliant idea from my previous band director, just for that occasion. This is for the purpose of court matters. Incase you need actual proof that you wrote a song or lyrics or anything, as soon as you are done make a copy and seal it in an envelope alone with your name signing a paper proving that on that day, you mailed those lyrics and stuff. Mail it to your house. That way it's postmarked with an offical legal date and if somebody claims to have done some lyrics or song, you simply take out the letter [unopened of course] and hand it to the judge. If your looking for online ways, I'm not sure because it sounds too risky. Hope that helps.

Hmm I've never heard that before. But of course there are many factors that can contribute to that. Playing a lot of sports, especially basketball might actually help you become taller. Also, for guys, weight lifting at an early age could stunt growth. I've heard that generally you will be around your mother's height. Hope that helps.

Rekindle an old friendship...I like your choice of words. That is always a difficult process. I would try to ask him questions. It would be a way to get him to talk a little bit more, and might actually help to lenghten out the conversation. Try and get him to care too. Like maybe you can give him a situation [not this one of course] that he could help you with, make one up if you have to. Hopefully he will try to help you with that and offer some thought. Then thats when you ask 'but what about this, should I do that, etc'.

If that doesn't work, you could try asking him straight-foward: hey we used to be friends, blah blah blah, what happend? Hopefully you'll have some answers and if not keep asking him. Let him know how you feel, that you do want to get back that old friendship. Hopefully he'll feel the same way and comprimise.

Helping him with some of his own problems could be a good way to start too. Talk about anything you can think of. Rekindling old friendships is a virtue to live by. Good luck.

Hopefully the same person isn't reading all of my replys and going [what is with this guy and making lists], but thats what you can do for this one. List what? All the good things about yourself. Make one for looks, and one for personality. Nobody will hate you if you aren't the best looking or best personality, so long as you are trying your best. I was there before, the low self-esteem every day thing. You know what I thought? There are many people who try 10x more than you could ever and no offence, but still look worse, act worse, etc.

Being your best doesn't mean being the best. As for looks, I'm sure you are fine. Would you want a boyfriend who only likes you for your looks to begin with? But what if you went blind? Would your apperance or that of your significant other matter? See what I mean. Looks aren't that important, so long as you feel good than you will look it too. Believe it or not there are people out there who compare themselves or other people to you, and not in a bad way. So what if there is somebody who has better hair and make up and all that other stuff. Would you really want that if you had to keep up with the hassle, not feel yourself, not feel great, and have nobody take notice of the work you put into it in the end?

I say just be you. The list of positive qualities is what makes you different [positive to you, not compared to other people]. Start off by saying: hey, I'm not like everyone else, thats a good thing. Anyways, hope that helped somewhat. Feel better and good luck.

First to make it easier for yourself, make a list of all the things you don't think are right about the girl or about them being together. Then write a reason why you think that. That will make it easier for you to tell him. That way, he won't even think that you are doing it because you don't like him or are jealous. If he does ask, then admit to being jealous, but remind him thats not the reason you came up with whats wrong with her [hence the list].

Sort your feelings out and see if he really does matter to you as a friend to begin with. Even if you don't like him more than just a friend, you still watch out for him and stuff. Hopefully you can get to him and your instincts are right about the girl. It could just be that you are seeing those things because you wanted to due to jealousy [if that makes sence]. Again that way with the list you can see if what you think about them and her makes sence or is all in your head. Still tell him about it though, and don't hint it off in the hopes that he will catch on. If he's still your friend you should watch out for him, even if its about his girlfriend. Good luck.

Hmm sorry to hear that. Maybe you could start off by talking to your mom about it. Tell her that what he does upsets you and you want it to stop; perhaps she would even talk to your dad for you. As difficult as it may seem, that might just be your way out. If you feel up to it you could even ask your dad why he yells at you.

Try not to let the yelling and things he says to get to you. Try not to be too responsive about the yelling part either. Hang in there because things will get better, they always do. No matter how difficult things get, keep your head up high. When he yells at you and then you cry, who wins? He does. If you listen to what he says and not let it get to you emotionally, and try not to be so responsive about it, like show emotions or say anything back [like snap back], then you might find it easier to tune out the yelling over time. If it still keeps up then tell an older relative you can trust. Feel better and good luck.

Hmm. Ask him not to plot revenge against them because that really won't solve anything and could lead to something much worse. Don't hint that off either, just be straight-foward about it. If he doesn't listen, then I would tell your friends that if it is something serious.

Try and see if you can make up for it with the guy you called. Ask him if you could make it up to him by going to watch a movie or something like that. No not as a date, and I'm sure you probably wouldn't want to anyways; it'd be taking a hit for the team if that got him to stop 'plotting revenge'. If that doesn't work, try being his friend. Maybe he'll get over it if he realizes you really didn't mean to hurt him. Try not to make it sound like you'll do anything just to get him to stop [because he may think you'll forget about him once he stops]. If you make it seem like you are desperate, that might push him into wanting to do it more. If all else fails and you cannot get him to stop, then tell your friends. Make sure you tell the ones that you can trust and know they wouldn't do something like that and 'plot revenge' either.

Remind the guy that it was just a joke. Remind him too that luckily you found him the next day to tell him about it too. Hopefully that will tone things down a bit for him, because he's taking things a little too far. Good luck.

Is she mean to you on purpose, or just kidding around? If she says something that bothers you, right away ask: do you really mean that? If she says yes, then right there tell her that you don't like what she said. Doesn't mean you aren't going to talk to her or that you hate her. If she is just joking around, then don't let it get to you.

If you tell one of your friends that you both know about it, maybe your friend will point it out in front of both of you, that she is being mean to you and should stop.

Really, don't let anything anybody could say get to you like that. Why? Because they win. I wouldn't pay too much attention to what she is saying to you, joking or not. Let it slide by and do/say nothing about it, because then it will be easier to just tune out anything she might say meant to hurt you. Good luck.

I'm going to try and make this as clear as I can. It would help to know if you were using Windows or Mac, but I'll go with Windows.

1. Open Limewire

2. Open the library tab

3. Click on the 'Shared' folder on the left hand side

4. If you don't know already, to find out the folder in which the songs are in, right click on any song, and click 'Describe...'

5. Several information should come up, and at the bottom there should read something like = C:\Documents and Settings\Yourname\Shared\'Songtitle'; or something like that.

6. Open My computer and open the C drive

7. Continue to follow the path that was written. It probably won't be what I just wrote before, but simply continue to find and open the folders that were listed.

8. Once you find the folder with all the music, if the icon for the songs is the iTunes logo, simply double click on the song file.

9. If it is not, right click on the song and click 'Open with' and select iTunes.

10. Connect your iPod Mini and wait for iTunes to open up again then it should automatically update all songs in your library [including the ones from limewire you just opened] to your iPod

Hope that helped

Don't listen to him. First off, who says there is anything wrong with being 14 and not ever beeing kissed, hugged, dated, etc. Yeah sure, there are people who have at like 12, but who wants to see that, and anyways how long do any of those relationships last? Not very long. You might look back and thank yourself for not having doing all those things yet. Why? Because you would want all of that to mean something to you, especially all of your firsts. You should be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

As for looks, don't give it another thought. When a guy likes you, he should like you for who you are, and not what you look like right? Looks are not as important as personality is in a relationship. Yes they do have importance, but should not be used as a deciding factor as to like a person or not. What if you went blind? Would you care at that point what your boyfriend or husband or anything looked like? Do you see what I mean? So don't let anything he says get to you, because even if he does mean it, doesn't make it true. Feel better and good luck.

Sure why not. Look at your parents, or maybe even anyone elses parents. I don't know about you, but mine are about 3 or 4 years apart too. Nothing wrong with guys liking younger girls. Personally I find it easier and a lot more fun to hang out with people that are not my own age, younger or older. Good luck.

Hmm. Make sure that once you put the contact in, before you blink, you adjust it and slide it however you need to so that it's completley on your eye with no air pockets left. If you feel that the contact is like out of place a little bit, or hurts when you blink, look all the way down, then move your way clock wise, so then your left, up, then your right. Always check to see if they are inside out, because its not fun if they are. Seems like common sence, but a few people seem to forget they are allowed to use their other hand. If you need to use your free hand to pull your top and bottom eyelid open. Good luck.

Hmm...well believe it or not, when it comes to dates and stuff like that, guys are usually a lot more nervous [its been proven]. Why? We don't know, but being one of them, I'm just nervous because I don't want to mess up, nobody does. That doesn't mean guys can't make the first move. As for the kiss in the theaters, you'll know when. Yeah you won't know when your purchasing the tickets when that moment will be, but when it's there, you'll feel it.

You might even find that guys are just as, if not more nervous or worried than you are when it comes to stuff like that. Things don't have to be at the exact 'right time', and nobody says there can't be more than just one right time. If it's not the right time, and you go for it anyways...then make it the right time, ya know what I mean? Good luck.

Make it with an obstacle course...and time them. Maybe some chairs or tables and stuff like that, where they would have to get through or around [but not hurt] and then have to pin the tail on the donkey or something. Blindfolded of course, the obstacle will prove to be the greater challenge. Good luck.

Oh man that sounds like fun. Bring Uno cards: theres no limit as to how you play either. Make up stuff like when someone puts down a six, everyone needs to put their hand in the middle, last one to do it gets 3 cards; when someone puts a seven, first person to talk gets 3 cards, etc.A regular deck of playing cards too. If that boombox could get a mic hookup, then get that too. Kareoke is a lot of fun, especially when everyones doing it, because nobody would care how bad they sound or anything like that. Not sure if you were already, but bring a camera, digital if possible. Take way too many pictures just for fun. Thought it'd be cool if you brought in a permanent marker that way everybody could sign the plain white t-shirts for anyone that brings one. Have fun and good luck.

I really like giving advice, so thats why I have a column here. I've been inactive for a long time, but I'm back and will do my best to catch up. Advicenators is a great site and it is what we make it. Having my own advice column helped me learn a lot of new things, even about myself, while giving me the chance to help others along the way. Thanks.
