about

I'm just an average person. I love to help people out :) it makes me feel better about myself. I've been in a lot of situations so I can most likely relate to a lot of your problems. I know what it feels like to not have anyone to talk to about your problems, which is why i'm an advicenator. I'm ready to help people and be there for everyone who needs advice or just a companion to speak out to. I'm always here if you need me, don't hesitate to drop a question or even just a vent/rant note about a problem to my advice column inbox. I respond to all of them regardless of the topic. I'm upfront and abrupt about my answers and never sugarcoat. Take my advice or not, but i'm just doing my job :)

Played volleyball for over 10 years, also a coach. I love to try new things. Currently I'm trying the new sport of tennis and learning about my passion of photography.

So , I met this guy , well I seen him before , and so we ended up texting right and we were suppose to hang out. Good thing I didn't develop strong feelings for him. So anyways, we talked and I asked were you ever in a serious relationship before, and he is like no, next day he told me he had a serious relationship and I said I thought you didnt , so he said he tried , but she cheated on him. So when the day came when we were suppose to hang out , he told me oh sorry can't hang out I have to go to toronto... so I was like okay.. later on , he told me if I knew this guy , this guy I knew we only went one day and went to the movies with him and his three girls and another guy , and this guy was like okay.. because he said something. So , I got mad and I said that im not up for any kid drama.. you know? its nice talking... so he didn't reply really after he said well I didn't say I believe him right.. so later on I confirmed him on facebook LITTLE did I know he has over 900 friends mostly girls , talks to every girl , lied to me about saying how he doesn't text anyone , until finally it came out he asks girls for his numbers.. im definatley wasting my time right?

thank you betty!

stay away from him unless you want hurt feelings and possibly a broken heart.

So, I am 18f and I have a boyfriend that is 18 as well. He lives about 40 minutes from me so I like it when I have time to drive to his house or for him to drive to my house. The one thing I wish we could do more, is sleep at eachothers houses. He has never slept over at my house, but I have slept at his house about four times now. We have been dating for about four months, I have known him for seven. His parents don't want him sleeping over at a girls house or a girl sleeping at their house near eachother. The first few times I was at his place we were three floors apart and then the next few times we were on the same floor, but in separate rooms. I just think, it is not like we are having sex, because we never have. Also, I would hope that his parents trust us or should I say me. We just want to spend more time with eachother and by being able to stay over and not have to drive home late at night, we can lay beside eachother and talk/cuddle/fall asleep together. Its just easier and more enjoyable, you know? What are some things we can do to make our time together more valuable? I really wish his parents would let us stay over at eachothers so that we could spend the whole weekend together and not just one afternoon. He is in Uni and we both have jobs. Please help me with some ideas, thanks!

well the only thing i can really think of is having a plan out day. basically a day where you plan the entire day from start to finish and dont let any interruptions come between you 2. for example- 6am breakfast at IHOP or make your own pancakes. 12pm- zoo. 7pm movie etc etc etc.

i dont really know if that helps, but its an idea :)

Okay, well, I've dealt with my boyfriend long enough and it's not getting anywhere and he hates almost everything that I like. His sister and I are also best friends and when I tried to ask her advice on what to do, I think she hinted that she would hate me if I broke up with her brother, so now I'm freaking out on what to do. I don't want to lose my friend, but it's simply not working out with this guy. We're just too different... Any tips on breaking up?

if there's one thing that i've learned in relationships... its that you sometimes have to be selfish. not too selfish, but just at the point where you do something for yourself. for example- you wanted to buy a cute tshirt but your friend says it doesnt look too great on you, but you really love this tshirt. would you still buy it even if her opinion is different than yours?? do what YOU want to do. dont let anybody influence your decision, especially when it comes to serious things like relationships/big decisions. follow your heart.

why would you put up with him just for the sake of your friend? yeah, she did give you her opinion.. but you need to do what you think is best for YOU. not for her.

good luck :)

I'm in college and have had many relationships in the past. I've loved and lost like everyone else, but I have taken it far to the point where I'm very closed off and barely let anyone near my heart. Everyone knows me as the independent single girl. It's started to bother me now, because I really want a boyfriend, or just a guy to confide in and have fun with. I'm never the girl that complains "I'm lonely", but honestly, I am now. I'm trying to open myself up, but my friends say I come off as very unapproachable. How can I get guys to see me as open and friendly? I smile more now and try to be more talkative, but still the feedback I get is that I'm cold and look like I don't want to be bothered, even though it's untentional. (20/F)

Oh my god you sound exactly like me. I'm only 17 but honestly, you do sound like me. 2 years ago I was really cold towards people. not just guys in general. I was like that to everybody.. I don't remember when I realized I needed to change. But one day, I just decided that I want to be more social. Truth was, I didn't like the way my life was. I was in high school then and I felt like everyday was just so boring and pointless. I wanted to become more social and have fun in life. so here i am, 2 years later, junior in high school, and I've made a ton of new friends. You need to get out more.. That's what I did. like my life was so planned out. everyday i'd go to school, come home, do homework, go to sports practice, then come home and sleep. I never really went out and hung out with friends. But then I started going out more and having the time of my life.

so try that. try gathering a group of friends and just go out and have a girls night out. don't worry so much. let loose. I think your problem is that you're too tense. lighten up and just have fun! do whatever it is that makes you happy. go out and dance and sing karaoke or whatever. make a fool of yourself and laugh until you can't breathe.

then you need to push yourself. don't hesitate. make goals for yourself. for example- when you go out one night, tell yourself that you're gonna talk to at least 3 strangers before you go home. you gotta push yourself otherwise nothing will happen. you got to be motivated to become better.

smile, laugh, be friendly, and just let loose and be yourself. don't worry about the past. love like you've never been hurt. don't be scared to let new people in your life. do the things that scare you the most, you'll be surprised to see how much success you can make. also remember, smile every minute of every day because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

and 1 more thing- "take too many pictures, laugh too hard, be just a little too crazy, and love like you've never been hurt because every minute you spend mad or upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. "

I am fourteen (girl) and my boyfriend is sixteen (boy) and we have been dating for five (almost six) months. I really really really like him, and that's why I'm asking this question or I would have broken up with him a while ago. We met at the begining of the school year, talked for three months, then started dating. The problem is, for the past month he's been... the best word for it really is PMSy. Like moody and wierd. One day he'll be perfectly fine and then the next (or even the next hour) he'll act like he wants nothing to do with me. We've talked about this problem SO MANY TIMES. He recognized this is his fault and he says there is nothing I can do to help. But if its not my fault then its not fair that I have to suffer. He can be mean... Like he'll just say something bratty or respond with one word answers like okay? and cool... like he doesn't even give a shit. It pisses me off. THe thing is though, this happened so suddenly. That's why I haven't broken up with him. I honestly don't think he has changed as a person. People can't change so dramatically so quickly. He's a good guy and he's good for me. I don't know what love is really but I think I might love him. I just don't know what to do anymore... We agreed to try and work this out but he doesn't always seem to want to do that. He'll act like its this big burden. Or he'll barely try. All in all, he acknowledges that he's being a dick, but he doesn't know why he's doing it. THe past two days have actually been good though... I know I want to work this out, and I know he does too but my question is; WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIX IT?? Like, is there something specific we can do? and I mean DO. We're done with the talking. We've talked about everything over and over and over again. I just want it to WORK now. I know we can do it. I jut don't know how. We've tried to find reasons, and I honestly think it is because we rushed into physical stuff kind of quickly. He was a lot more experienced than me and I felt kind of hurried along... I wanted to do the stuff we did I just didn't know it would affect me like this. I think it made me clingy... But I don't know. It could also be that he's having some friend issues and school stuff but still... Just.. HELP.

I agree with what the other person has said. You said you were hurried along and you feel clingy. You say he's a nice guy.. so think about it. doesn't it make sense that he wants to break up (hence the getting distant part) but is too nice to do it. He's just trying to get you frustrated and make you break it off. instead of him doing it.

don't get me wrong.. you can TRY to fix it. you can take other people advice and try to work things out. but all that's going to do is prolong the breakup and just make everything hectic and crazy and dramatic. I think you like him too much. You're too emotionally attached to him. To the part where you will do anything to make it work. But honestly, if he's not doing anything to make it work, he's not committed to you. he's not committed to doing anything to make it work. he's basically making you do everything and making you fix it. you have to let him know that its not a 1 man job. either you BOTH do something to fix it (not talking) or if he's making you do it alone, then its over.

relationships are about committment. you guys are committing yourselves to each other. and if he's not willing to push himself to the brink of destruction to make it work, then he's not even worth it. don't you want a guy who will be head over heels for you and adore you? you don't want a guy who will just sit there and watch you try to fix everything.. that's called being a lazy ass.

do yourselves both a favor and break it off now before things get very emotional and ugly.

good luck

wow ok… my advice had NOTHING to do with physical stuff.. so why are you rating me a 2 and saying "it's not like we slept together"..

I have trouble finding clothes that fit, or look flattering because I'm just too skinny! D: I'm underweight for my age/height, I think. I'm 15/f, standing at about 5'4" tall and weigh somewhere between 95-100 pounds. I usually like to shop at places like Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, American Eagle Forever 21, and other places.... But whenever I try on most clothes, I just feel plain stupid. Most of the clothes are just big or loose fitting on me. Luckily, the stores I like to shop at carry smaller sizes too, that I can fit into. Does this happen to anyone else though? Whenever I try on clothes that are too big, I feel stupid, and what also adds to that is that I'm flat chested. I feel like a 12 year old boy. -__- I also feel like a fool sometimes when shirts are extremely long on me, or certain shirts/tanks are low near the chest area since I can't fill it out. The only shirts that could possibly look flattering on me right now, are basic/graphic tees. I'd like to start wearing those flowy type tank tops and other varieties of shirts, but they just give me this box-y figure, and make me feel like a little kid. I see other petite and skinny people like models, celebrities, or even peers that can pull things like that off. And they may smaller chested and skinny. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating it, because of course you would probably do that when criticizing yourself... Does anyone have any advice, or suggestions for clothing ideas? Bottoms I am fine with, it's just mainly shirts I'm having trouble with.

try going to the stores employees and ask for help. they are specialized to help people out like you and they'll know what to do. just simply go up to them and ask them that you don't know what size is appropriate for you. some of them will take measurements and tell you the size, others will just find clothes and tell you that its your size.

you could also have someone tailor your clothes. look for seamstresses or tailors around and they'll make the clothes fit for your body size.

as for filling out breasts, you could try buying a water bra or push up bra to make the illusion of bigger breasts. just 1 tip, don't put any tissue in them.. bad experience.. haha

good luck!

18, female. If this is long, sorry i'll return the favor!

I'm just going to go out and say this .. i'm sexually frustrated!! Haha okay so there's this guy. Well i'm not going to lie he's a typical teenage guy and it kind of turns me on. Like when we're hanging out .. even around people .. we'll be talking and for some reason it always ends up sexual. Like he was like okay i have to shower .. sammy lets go shower together and we both started laughing and I was like yeah okay lets go .. although we didn't. Or we were just playing a fun game of PIG in basketball and I was texting haha and he was like hurry up sam and I was like I'm COMING!! And he was like oh are you sammy ;) and then we were just messing around and he just kept grabbing me and touching me and then at dinner we were with a bunch of people and we were sitting next to each other and I was like let me get one of your wings! and he was like only if you fuck me ;) and I was like okay ;) and I was like so give me one and he was like no you have to fuck me first and I was like how am I going to do that first when we're at a restauraunt and he was like i'll save it for you lol and then we went on to something else. Just things like that happpen .. we obviously both want each other but NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! and he always starts the sexual talk and touching too .. i seriously want him so bad and it's not like i'm saying "NO!"

Don't judge our friendship, don't call me a whore or a slut i've only slept with one guy and he's only slept with one girl .. we have so much fun together and he always turns me on. We don't really hang out at each other's houses alone, it's not us .. so it's not like we can just do it when things get heavy haha becuase we're usually in public. How can I make this happen!! Maybe he thinks i'm joking .. how can I let him know I'm being completely serious? He'll even text me sometimes and be like wanna fuck? and I'll even text back like hell yeah! and then we'll end up talking about something else.

Don't tell me NOT to do it, i'm going to either way I'm just asking how I can actually make it happen.

I have to say that you shouldn't get your hopes up about this guy. if he's always changing the subject when you guys talk about that kind of stuff, he's obviously not that serious. You also mention that you guys only hang out in public. well you wanted to take it a step further, so ask him to hang out privately. like just you 2. go on a date. get alone with each other. take it one step at a time.

now here's the catch, don't get head over heels for him unless you 100% know that he's into you and wants you too. some guys just want to get with the girl and play with her and tease her. lead her on. i know you said that he's only slept with 1 girl. but how many girls has he lead on? how many girls has he flirted with and said he wanted to fuck, but never actually did? how do you know that you're not just another one of those girls who he flirts with. you gotta know for sure that you're different.

once you know that you're not just another girl, it's time to move forward. let fate take its path. whatever happens happens. you can't plan things out. you can't say "ok first we will kiss, then …, then… and eventually do it.." you just gotta let it go by nature. and besides, its more special if its spontaneous and not planned out.

hope i helpled!

alright im 17 and I live in Crawfordsville, IN i;ve recently been looking into ways to visit a friend in alvordton ohio. My mom will let me go but she wont let me drive and she wont let me take the car. It cant handle a four hour drive. Anyway everything ive been looking at is either in toledo and takes nine hours for a bus or for amtrak i have to stop in chicago and stay there for eight hours for the next train. Is there any other avaible transportation? I cant rent a car because im to young to drive it, and again my mother wont let me drive that far.

try asking a friend old enough to drive and very responsible if they want to go on a road trip with you?

You could take a cab, though it would be very expensive. depends on how much you really need to go there.

you could buy an airplane ticket, again its expensive.

maybe ask your mom if she can drive you. or another relative or sibling. perhaps a neighbor? or trustworthy close friend?

can you be in love with someone your not with. like can you be in love with your best friend with out ever being with him and with out ever expressing your feelings and i mean really loving someone not just saying you love them without feeling it. there is this guy he is like my really good friend but he would never date anyone till its the rite one. he wont even really discuss it. i will not talk to him about it because it would be to akward because im shy. when i with him its like whatever and i dont even care that much about him but when he is gone i have so much feelings for him. we are totally different. he is the type to not date unless thats the girl he is going to marry and i am not like that. there is a couple of girls that like him but he turns them down because he know he wont and cant date them. but i want to know what do i do about situation because i tried to get over him but when he is gone and i dont see him for along time it comes back
(and we are both 17 if you are wondering)

I'm not sure if it's love. But you definitely have feelings for him. I'm 17 too, so i'm not technically sure how to define love. But i have a general idea.

I know it's awkward for you to mention it to him. but you can try getting the message through without words. Like ask him to hang out, but make it more formal. Like going out to a nice dinner. Don't mention the word "date" or "go out". just say "hang out". try being a little flirty. send a few messages to let him know you're somewhat interested. LIke staring at him for a little while (don't like creep on him for 10 seconds. but like a flirty glance for 3-5 seconds) laugh a lot and smile a lot. just kinda get the message across that you like him a lot. Maybe you can even tell him you miss him. Perhaps send him a text message (day or night) and simply just say "i miss you". That way he will know that you have been thinking about him.

as from there… its just fate ya know? let things flow. don't force something to go the way you want it to go. just let fate takes its path. if he's not interested, don't force him to like you. then it wasn't meant to be. good luck and just be yourself :)

Well there are two boys. I don't like both of them, I'm diggin 'em. Meaning, I think both of the are cute. Please don't answer "why on earth are you liking two boys, that's awful" because I'm not. Like I've been trying to explain all day, there is a difference between thinking someone is cute and liking them. Anyway, one of them is in my gym class, let's call him A, the other is in my lunch period, let's call him J. I have been diggin A since before J. Now, both are kinda shy which is where my problem occurs. I wrote A a message on facebook telling him since he wasn't on he missed out and I'm making him talk to me Monday and I can't wait for us to finally talk. I gave him the benefit of the doubt seeming as we didn't have gym that day and didn't see each other. However, I am not going to spark a conversation first because I sent him the message first and since he wasn't on I feel like he missed out, so it has been his job to talk to me and he didn't which kinda leads me to believe he isn't diggin me back. He knows I think he's cute but he isn't making the push to do something about "us" he told my friend that he is nervous to talk to me but he shouldn't be because he knows what I think and I'm not going to be a jerk to him. He also says cute things though like "I kinda wish she will talk to me first because I wouldn't know what to say to her" and "If she won't talk, I will. Bring her to my locker so I can 'rip her out of your arms and finally talk to her"' but yet he's to nervous to talk even when he said he would and to nervous to even exchange glances with me for more than a second. Now, onto J. I walk into lunch and in order to get to my table, I have to pass his table. Every time I walk in the cafeteria door he will look at me the second I walk in the door and hold glance with me until we can't anymore (until I turn to go to my table which is behind him, so we hold our glances until he can't look at me anymore without turning around). He will always wait to throw his tray away until I do so he will be coming up the aisle and I will be going down it and we'll collide (there's two different trash areas, one for the packers and one for the buyers). Also, me and my friend'll be talking in gym and she'll look over my shoulder at J to see what he's doing and she said he is 98% of the time looking at me. I feel like J's feelings are a little more stronger and I think I'm more attracted to J, to the point where I just want to give up on A. What boy do you think has the stronger feelings? Which boy should I give a try and why? For the boy you picked what should I do to get the ball rolling? Thanks!

It's hard to tell which guy is more interested. You gotta realize that if you don't talk to them, nothing is gonna happen and nothing will change. Guys love girls with confidence. so find an excuse to talk to them and just be friends with them.

This is just my opinion ok? I think A is really shy. you gotta do some digging with this guy to see who he truly is. Get him to open up and be himself around you. If he doesn't talk that much and its hard to have a conversation, he might not be into you.

Guy J definitely has a little something something for you. If he's always looking at you and trying to be around you, he likes you. Maybe he's just shy to start a conversation. Again, you need to step it up and start talking and being friends. Get him to open up too and see where the conversation goes.

so again, just test the waters out and see who seems more involved and committed to being friends. you'll know which one seems right when the time comes. nobody can make the decision for you. you just have to have that gut feeling.

good luck!

Hey I wanted to try out different kind of eye makeup but I'm not sure what colors look good on me or what's the best brands so I want to get free samples shipped to my house but most of the sites I went on have you fill out really long surveys or they're just fake. So I need a REAL site please [:

Just like the other person said. You can go to a department/make-up store and ask the employee's there for help. They're specialized in cosmetology (study of make up) and maybe even dermatology (study of skin). just feel free to ask them questions.

Also, have you heard of Mark?

http://www.meetmark.com/PRSuite/home/home.jsp

that's their website

their makeup is good and cheap. They sell them all over, so check them out.

hope i helped!

13/f
today was cold and i didnt have a jacket..i guess i looked frozen during lunch because my best friend(guy) walked up to me,kissed me on the cheek,draped his jacket over my arms,said \"here looks like u need this\" gave me my favorite smile and walked away.i thought it was really sweet so later i saw him and he looked cold so i walked up to him, kissed him on the cheek, said \"thanks but i think you need it now\" smiled and walked away..he ran after me and was like i can share this and gave me a hug....im not really sure if were goin out or not because usually people dont kiss people unless their goin out so..any ideas whats happining???

oooh he likess you :) that's so cute. I wish somebody did that for me when I was 13 haha.

He definitely likes you more than a friend. No guy gives a girl a kiss on the cheek as "just friends"

You guys aren't going out because you guys haven't talked about it. If you haven't even been on a date yet, then its not a relationship.

Just talk to him and hang out with him. Go on a few dates with him and if you see more improvement with your guys' feelings, then ask him if he wants to be your boyfriend or whatever.

Hope I helped!

ok, so i am in 8th grade, and my friend told me that there is this boy that has a crush on me. i had never really looked twice at him before, not that i ignored him, or anything. he was always sweet and funny and easy to talk to. but, i never really thought of him like that.. however, now that i know he likes me, i am starting to think twice.. my friend said he was going to ask me out, but i don't know what to do.. should i say yes?

if you didn't like him before or look at him twice.. then you probably honestly don't have romantic feelings for him.

I think the only reason why you're thinking twice about him now is because you know he likes you. and you're just happy that he likes you. before, you didn't have a clue that he liked you, and you didn't like him. but now that you know he likes you, you like him.

you're just liking him because he likes you, got it?

The way i see it, you can do 2 things. Either

A. you be friends with him and test the water out. Go on a few dates and see if you like him and want to spend more time with him.

or

B. say no because you didn't have any feelings for him to begin with. But here's the catch, your feelings for him could change in the future. so stay friends with him just in case they change.

I'm not going to make the decision for you. You need to decide what you want to do . Good luck!

okay so this has really been bugging me and i was hoping you guys could give me some insight. not trying to sound conceited at ALL, just what i've heard .. alot of guys think i'm this hot girl and i am confident but i'm not a slut. i don't sleep around, still a virgin but why is it that guys with girlfriends ALWAYS try to talk and get with me? i don't understand!! do they think i'll cheat with them on their girlfriends or what? why me? it always happens to me, always. i'm just concerned i have something about me saying "i'll sleep with you even if you have a girlfriend" which is obviously not the case, and i haven't given anyone a reason to think that but i think it's ironic how guys who have girlfriends are always trying to get with me... why??

congrats. I'm 17 and I sorta have the same problem as you. except for me its like this, i have a boyfriend. and all my guy friends try to get with me and try to steal me from my boyfriend. It's so stupid because I'm not into sex. I've never done it and i probably won't until college or marriage. so good job for you that you don't want to do that stuff. I'm confused as well as why guys do this. It's not like we are sending out a message that says we are easy.. I"m pretty shy too. Like i'm not sending out any sort of vibe that says "hey guys, come and get it." ya know?

I'm pretty sure its just because guys are guys. they will do anything to get a girl. They're desperate. not all guys are like this. but most of them are. they're just jerks. That's why its so hard to find the perfect guy for you.

You really just need to tell those guys to f*** off because they're not your type and you're not like that and you deserve better. Just keep acting like yourself. There's not much you can really do that will "repel" guys. unless you complete change yourself. which I don't know why you would want to do that..

so just keep acting like yourself and if a guy comes along and tries to get with you, just tell him to go get a life and find another girl to screw with. because you're better than that.

Hope I helped!

Ok so me and my boy friend have a long distance relation ship I'm a model and he is a raper so I sent him some of my resent picks of my modeling and he wants me to take naked picks of myself. So I don't know how I should take them or where I was wondering is I should get my besty to take them but she is kinda into me and I don't have that time for girl on girl you know. Then he don't trust any one els looking at my body and I can't take them myself so I told him I would just wear panties and he said oook. Now how are ways I can pose I need boy and girl answers and where is a good place I can do it at thanks.

it's illegal to send naked pics of yourself.. its considered child pornography..

how am i supposed to know how old you are..? maybe if you added more info, i'd be able to help more!!

[view]


thanks..that is true.. she still talks to me i told her she was being fake towards me and she said that is not true..that she dosent call me because i dont call her..but i think thats just an excuse

well maybe try calling her once in a while and see if she changes. if she doesn't change, then tell her that she's just making up excuses because when you try to talk to her she won't talk back.

hey! ok i have a friend and i guess she was just using me to get next to a guy she likes . the guy she likes is my friend and everytime i used to tell her he called me and things like that she would be calling me everyday. now that they aint together anymore she doesnt even bothers calling me..is not only that, is that a big problem happened...so i guess she hardly talks to me because of that big problem..but what bothers me is that in school she is all nice to me and is always looking for me but once she is out of school "pufff" she dissaperas..not even thru myspace she talks to me..it just pisses me off..and her cusin died and i was the one that was mostly there for her and she says am the only one that gives her good advices but now i dont even feel like talking to her..i think she is so fake towards me :( can you please help me. am sorry if this is too long . i just need some help on how to act with her.

hey. well i don't understand the full story. but you have to talk to her about it. just ask her "why do you act so nice and friendly towards me in school, and then when we're out of school you just disappear out of my life?"

you could think about the reasons. here's what i think they might be
-she might be busy with other stuff. like sports, or activities, or family.
-she might actually be fake and just be friendly to you in school, just to get attention.
-she could be feeling very hurt about the problem and is avoiding you
-she could still be really hurt about her cousin passing away and doesn't want any attention outside of school.

but i honestly think this is pathetic. nobody should be treating you this way. don't be mean towards her. just straight up ask her what's going on. if she gives you a stupid answer, like "i'm not ignoring you" then she's probably lying about it.

if she continues to keep this up, i think it would just be better if you guys stopped being friends all together. you could find another friend who would treat you better than this.

good luck!

I've been dating my boyfriend for 6 months now and we have a great relationship. He comes over to my house once a week and we cuddle and he's really a sweetheart. My problem is that we don't really talk about anything. Ever.

I don't know what to talk to him about. I don't really have anything to talk to him about that I haven't already said. I don't want to end this relationship because he's such a good boyfriend but it's getting boring and, to say the least, strange.

When we talk on the phone we say the same things we usually do. I've been trying to cut down on the time we are in communication with eachother so that when we get together we have more to talk about but it doesn't seem to change anything. It's like our "conversations" don't REALLY start, you know?

What can I do to save this relationship?! What are we missing?

try playing some games like 20 questions. each person gets 20 questions and you ask them anything. usually something like this leads to conversations and get to know each other better.

maybe go out and do more stuff together, like bowling, or dancing, going out to eat, hanging out with a group of friends.

good luck!

Okay, I want to be a fashion designer. I am so dedicated to this field of work. I make clothing alot, I made a bubble dress that I wore to picture day at school and everyone loved it asking me if I could make them one. I think I truly have a knack for this, I love it and I wouldn't give up designing for my life, I know I have all these ideas and a notebook, Lacey, that I carry around with me so I can draw down what I want to make next. This is so appealing to me, I just love it, I have all these great ideas! I saw on the news a girl my age, 15, was making clothes like me and she's big and famous already. Does anybody know what she did or have an idea of how she got to where she is, I mean, I have my own website showing off what I made but I heard Mrs. Obama is buying a dress from her! I want that. Anybody, please help me in achieving this.

try selling some of your clothes online. try contacting a fashion magazine and asking them if they would be interested in sponsoring your clothes. try some ads too. have someone who's really artsy design an ad and then post it everywhere! newspapers, magazines, tv, online, outside on the streets, print them out and give them to local stores. make sure you have contact information on the ads, that way if someone is interested in selling your clothes, they can contact you.

good luck!
