I'm currently in an internet relationship with this guy in Canada (I'm in Australia) We liked each other for about a year, and only recently decided to give the relationship a shot. We had a few problems before we got together, but we worked them all out. We're meeting in a few months time. I do like him, however, there's a lot about him that bothers me. He's a REALLY extremist Catholic, and whilst i am catholic too, I'm nowhere near as religious. A lot of what he believes I respect, however disagree with. I have to act different around him, for example, I can't swear or say anything even remotely 'suggestive' Sometimes I feel like he's testing me, because he asks me questions like "did you go to mass today on sunday? Did you enjoy it?" and "How far do you think is too far?" I never feel comfortable around him and he doesn't know much about who I truly am due to this reason. He's a really innocent guy for a teenager, and whilst its good that he respects me, he's really uptight and we can never talk about things or joke around like other couples can. I realize that not everyone is into that kind of thing, but it's like we never do anything 'fun'

I tell him I love him every night but sometimes I wonder whether I truly do. I want to make this work but I have a nagging feeling telling me that this isn't right and I shouldn't be with him. What should I do? Is it normal to feel like this? Do you guys think I should still try with him?

Thanks.

I don't think you should be with him. It's hard to explain, though I think you know what I mean, but you're not really on the same "level". They say that opposites attract, but there is a such thing as being too different, and I think that's what you and this guy are. If you don't even feel like you can show your true self to this guy, then you really don't love him as much as you say. I think those nagging feelings are correct. Trust your instincts and call it off.

Heyy!,

Is it wrong for an 13 year old and an 11 year old to go out?..I really need someones opinion!!!

I think so. I really do. If you were 17 and he was 15, that would be no big deal. But I think that 13 is too young to be going out, and 11 certainly is. Neither of you are ready to have a real relationship. But that's just my opinion, in the end it is your choice so do what you want.

Ok so my parents keep on asking me what i want for chrismas!!! I dont know what i want
I am 13 years old....tom boy...i DONT want grly grl stuff...i dont wear make up!!!
The only thing i know i want is a pair of shoes that are shocks!!!
Can you please think of some thing i could like for chrismas
EVERYBODY who answers will get a 5!!!
Even if i dont like that stuff!!!

Books. Charlotte Bronte pwns.

And um...a blanket? With ducks on it?

An alarm clock.

An incense burner.

A DVD.

You can go with the selfless thing and tell them to just get you the shoes you want and give the rest of the Christmas money to charity. =)

Or just say "Surprise me!"

Usually parents know their kids so they probably wouldn't get you anything girly.

Ummm...a super ball.

Underwear! Cause free underwear? Is the best.

Ginseng tea?

A slinky!

A baby brother. =)

A trendy bag.

A hat.

A journal.

That's all I got. Sorry if you think it all sucks.

I don't know about guys, but girls get their periods once a month, usually from 5-6 days, varying in pain. They can start their period from as young as eight years old to fifteen or sixteen. It usually lasts until they are about fifty and then...tis menopause! yaaaaay!

I want to get into Cosmetology. Something with makeup or hair. I was told that for my junior year that I had to go to some Cosmetology school and take classes for that sort of thing. Is that true?

I don't know anything about "junior year" or what the credit requirements are but, yes, if you want to be a good cosmetologist, you'll have to go to beauty school and try really hard.

I need ideas 4 my girlfriend for X-mas...any suggestions...plz?

I can't help you...it depends on what she likes. Surely you have been walking in the mall and she's pointed at something and said, "Oh my, that is handsome! Wouldn't it look magnificent in the galley?" or something to that effect. If you really can't think of anything, get her one of those baskets of lotions and soap and stuff at Bath and Body Works.

Anyone know where i can get some really good quotes about christmas, like for an AIM profile. Not wicked cheesy ones tho.
thanks in advance

Can't go wrong with classic 1960s Christmas specials!

-Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!

-I almost wish there weren't a holiday season. I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?

-Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you. Lights, please. ... "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not, for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you this day is born in the City of Bethlehem, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men'". That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie brown.

Anime lyrics and quotes work, too!

-We can't wait till winter,
So Christmas Eve is just for the two of us.

That one is from Tenchi Muyo! Manatsu no Eve.

Im making a list for my boyfriend for christmas..


100 reasons why i love you

can you help me get a few?

No. Sorry. It's just that I'm not you, don't know your boyfriend, don't love your boyfriend, and don't know why you love your boyfriend. You're pretty much the only one who can come up with this. All I can tell you is to type it all nice and neat on pretty paper with maybe a Christmas border or a romantic background.

Though if I were going to come up with some ideas, here would be a few:

-You've never locked me in a coal bin.
-You are less annoying than my cat.
-You look almost as good as Prince Zuko without his shirt.
-You're not a stalker.
-One time, you made me a steaming bowl of ramen. It was very good.
-You like The Beatles.
-You never disrespect me.
-You've never cheated on me.
-You're not a serial killer.
-You have a beautiful Norwegian accent.
-You have the most gorgeous ultra-marine eyes.
-You have a good job.
-You have strong family values.
-You like to save injured baby birds.
-You eat organic foods.
-You shovel the driveways of old ladies and don't ask for any money.
-You punched a guy in the face because he said something improper about me, not because you were jealous of, but because you wanted to stand up for my honor.

That's basically all I can think of. I know, I know, they totally suck. But like I said, you know him better than I do!

Oh sweetie, don't worry. Once it happens you'll realize that it's not a big deal at all! Remember, women have been going through this for centuries. Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, and the Virgin Mary all went through it. You can too!

Gosh, he's a jerk.

It would be perfectly legit, too. You feel threatened by him.

Or just take a deep breath and say, "No. I don't like you/I'm not ready to go out with anyone yet."

Everynight for 2 weeks straight I have had this dream, can you tell me what you think it means?

My 2 friends and me are walking up a beatan path/trail in the woods and its kinda stormy, we are headed to the top of the mountain. When we get to the top of the mountain I see my ex, so I walk over there to talk to him. . Then all of a sudden out of the woods a dark evil shadow pushes him off the cliff. I look down the side of the cliff on some rocks and he is layin there blood surrounding his head. I scream, and the proceed to climb down the side of the cliff and go over to wear his body is. I put my hand under his head and blood is all over my hand. I lean over and hold him while crying and screaming while his blood is dripping all over me. I lean over again to kiss his bloody lips. I kiss him while holding him close. I wake up screaming & crying. Whats so weird is I could swore I almost taste blood in my mouth.

Dreams just take whatever you thought about all day, whatever random thing passed into your mind for .0000001 seconds that you didn't even notice and don't remember thinking about, some conversations you had, something you remember from a long time ago, whatever you ate for lunch that day, the music you were listening to, the TV show you watched all day, and many other things and then combine them all. They mean whatever you want them to mean, so if that dream is freaking you out, just decide that it doesn't mean anything.

do guys know when a girl is there first kiss?

*K

Yes, I think most guys know when they are kissing a girl for the first time that it is the first time they have kissed a girl.

Unless they got amnesia somewhere along the way.

Is it true that if you crack your knuckles they get bigger? This seems totally fake to me...how can your bones grow because you move them around?

Well...you're not really cracking your bones, you're cracking the cartilege. I crack my knuckles all the time and I haven't noticed any increase in size. It's one of the very best ways to get arthritis, though!

Hi,
Well can some one tell me some good song I've been listening to the same old one forever and I need some new one.

Is it true that if you buy clothes from the internet its cheaper(Hollister, American EAgle, Abercrombie, Papaya, Pac Sun)?And what are the return policies usually?thanks&hearts

Not really, because you have to pay shipping&handling. But it's nice because sometimes there are things that aren't in the stores. And usually if you bring the clothes back in the box with all the receipts and everything that came with it, they will take it back.

I'm bi and I decided to tell my mom but now I really regret it because I think she thinks I am weird now. She acts really different around me. What should I do?

The same thing happened to me!

The same exact thing.

So I know how you feel.

But my way of dealing with it is not the best.

I just ignore her.

It works only sometimes.

*sigh*

Sorry I can't help, but sometimes it is good to know that other people understand how you feel. So I hope that comforts you a little. =)

For Thanksgiving tomorrow, we want to make Cranbery Plum Pudding, but we've lost the recipe. Does anyone here have a recipe for cranberry plum pudding? Or know where I can find one? Don't say "google it."

allrecipes.com

But for future reference, "googling it" is it really quite helpful, and I don't quite see what you have against this ingenious method.

Ah, but who am I to judge?

allrecipes.com is the best way, though. I found a recipe for coconut rice on it. But then I burned the coconut rice. I hope your Cranberry Plum Pudding does not have a similar destiny. Happy Thanksgiving!!
