14/f

Me and my ex-boyfriend (let's call him C) split up about 1 and a half months ago. At the time I thought my feelings for him had gone, and also there was another guy in my life, M, who at the time I thought I preferred. Just in case this sounds like I was cheating on C, I wasn't, I just liked M. When me and C broke up M told me he liked me.

But a few weeks after me and C split up, my feelings for him grew again, and now I have a lot of feelings for him.

Apparently he's still in love with me, he writes stuff about me on his livejournal, but he hasn't written anything mentioning feelings about me for a week now, and yesterday my friend L told me her boyfriend B said C may not want to go back out with me.

Thing is, I'm sure he still has a lot of feelings for me, and I really want to know exactly how he feels about me.

He's an amazing person and he means so much to me. I really miss spending time just me and him, but we can't do that anymore. I really want us to be something, to be more than this...but I don't think I want to be in a couple. He has no clue I still like him, and the only way we can be something is if he knows, but I don't know whether to tell him or not.
I'm scared that if I tell him, I'll end up hurting him again. He's so important to me and I don't want to hurt him, he doesn't deserve that.

So basically I don't know what to do.

Do I tell him? And if so how?
Or do I not tell him but somehow make us more than friends?
Or do I just leave it?

Thanks in advance, sorry it was long, xxx

well, it seems to me that you broke it off with him and you now regret it, correct?

well, like i always say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a good friend. even if it is your ex!

im starting to be really good friends with my ex. and even though its still hard for me to see him with other girls, im thinking we are going to get back together in the near future.

cause thats just what good friends end up doing! try to be his friend first. invite him on a group date thing. get to know him better as a friend. its going to happen.

trust me.

take care! and i hope everything works out! ;)


Hi um i was wondering i have a winter formal coming up and i have natural curly hair and we cant get an appointment for a hairstylest so does any one have any ideas what hair style i should use cause i have to do it myself (link)
this style works for curly and wavy hair.

do you know what a back ponytail is? well, if you dont. its just a ponytail, except there is only the top layer of your hair up in the ponytail. take out two little teeny tiny sections from the rim of your hair line and let them go wherever for a minute. flatten the top of your hair and secure it with a hair band. now spray the top with hair spray and make it stay put. now to the little strands. take some hairspray and put a few drops onto your fingers. QUICK. before it dries rub it onto one strand to make it stay in the same place. do the same with the other. this style is quick and easy. and its easy to comb out after your done. just dont use too much hairspray so it wont pull. ;) have fun and hope it works out!


Im 14/f and I have a boyfriend. But the problem is im not really happy with my boyfriend and I think I understand why. When my boyfriend asked me out I didnt expect him to for another week and I was going to use that week to think of my decision, but my friend convinced him to ask me out earlier and I ended up saying yes because he was being really cute and sweet about it.

The other problem is I think I still like this one guy I have liked for a while. This guy however is one of my best friends, he tells me everything and it kills me when girls hurt him and he gets really upset, we have gotten into conversations where we would bring up the possibility of us dating, and after a few jokes we'd both always say we see eachother as such good friends that we can always joke around with and have fun with that we'd never date. Ive slept over at his house a few times but once again we are really good friends so that was why. About a week ago he told me that if I did ask him to this one formal (i told him i was thinking about it cause we were both dateless) that he wouldve definately said yes and for some reason that got me really mad cause I kind of blew my chance.

I dont understand why this is happening cause we are such good friends and he'd never be interested in me. Is there anyway I can convince myself to get over the other guy and try to learn to be happier with my boyfriend? (link)
this is over my head...but i think your guyfriend likes you. sounds like it.

he might be hiding it because he thinks you dont feel the same way because yall are too good of friends. as the whole bf thing? i dont think its too possible. maybe take a little break? idk.

hope everything works out! :)


what do child phychologists actually do. i mean what would the job entail. im taking my options this year anything in particular that would be handy for me if i do decide to train for the job in college? (link)
i took psychology this year and child psychologists all they really do is talk to kids under 13 or something along those lines and just listen and help with their issues. different stuff like, sexual and physical abuse. maybe emotional abuse. neglect. stuff of the sort that they just help them out with.

hope this helped. take care! :)


weird question but
the novels like "the it girl" and "private"
are there any boarding schools like those?
I mean, I know all the drama is not real usually
but kinda, fun?, like those? (link)
yes there are many boarding schools like those around. i couldnt tell you any near where you live...but i know that there are some around. i LOVE private novels. makes boarding school seem really fun doesnt it? i even begged my parents but they said "no".

sooo...yeah. hope this helps. take care! :)


I always have this problem.
My heart is always torn between two different guys.
I've got this one guy. He knows where he's going in life. The only thing, is he is in a band and it is always hope with that stuff. They don't know if they will get a record deal, and get tons of money. But he has graduated high school, is getting his driver's liscence, and heavily also looking for a job while dealing with the band.
The other guy. He is pretty much homeless, a high school dropout, no body really likes him, and i don't even know what else. But he really cares for me and would do anything for me. I mean anything.
Seems easy, right? Well it's not. The story is, I was dating the guy with the band, and i kinda ended up cheating on him with the other guy. Now he says that he doesn't hate me for it, but it's going to take him a while to get over it. He also says that in the future if things don't work out we might get back together, but I just really don't know. I really miss him because I at least know with him I was going to get supported in any way possible.
Also, I may be pregnant. The thing with that is, I would have no idea whose it would be, and the guy that i am with that is homeless and makes no money seriously thinks its his, and i think it may be (or i just want it to be) the guy who is actually going somewhere with his life, but then there is also this other guy i dated like 2 months ago whose it might be if i am. but i haven't had that monthly thing in a month and a half, and i am getting kind of worried. I just don't know guys, any help possible would be great. anything you can say, say it. i am in a serious rut here. thanks guys. (link)
(deep inhale) that is a hard one!! you always want someone who will do anything for you, but you dont want someone who you know would probably go days without shelter. (if im understanding this) you said you wanted it to be band dude's fetus...well then take a DNA test. or maybe its too early for that....depends on how far along you are. anyways...im always torn between like 2 or 3 maybe even 4 guys at once. if i were you, i'd choose band dude. course, im not in your head and i dunno what you have been through with homeless dude. so just ask yourself "who can i picture myself with in 3 or 4 years?" and "who will most likely be able to support me and the baby?" right now, if im understanding correctly, the band dude will probably support the baby since he has a home, and is looking for a job. other dude seems hopeless to me. im sorry. i hope it all works out. take care! :))


i'm writing a book and one character gets stabbed in the upper leg. it needs to be a pretty bad wound cause another character is a doctor and fixes it.
problem 1 - the book is set in a time where there are no hospitals. so this has to be done in a forest where they are camping.
problem 2 - i have no idea what the process would be for something like that. is it possible that anyone could talk me through it? like what has to be done to fix it and what excersises and stuff need to be done to make sure it heals properly?
thankyou so much to anyone that can help! (link)
well they need to wash out the wound. and then rub some alcohol or something on it. if they dont have any, they can use wine. and then they put pressure on it with like a thick blanket or cloth or something. and then they wrap it up.

or, you know, you could just skip through that whole phase and just say that the character woke up and he wasnt in pain and his wound was bandaged but he coulnt walk on it. thats what i would do. anyways, hope this helped. take care! hope your book turns out great!


my freshman year i cam across this boy named tommy and i liked ever since junior year we started talking and in the summer he asked me to be his girlfriend so we went out i liked him alot he was my real first boyfriend and i was crazy fro him see i like my rocker guys with long hair and piercings ans he has that :) we even went to family values together and had a good time....school started and it was fine we didnt see each other at all only in themorning when i would get off the buss but only for 5 minutes and then i would just talk to him on the phone or myspace...so on the third day of school he broke up with me on myspace and i was devistated!!!! i couldnt belive it i mean the day before it was all fine!!! so then we broke up and i was sad i dated guys after him but for a very short time i cant get my mind off of him.....so im dating my current boyfriend nick and i liked him but now im loosing my feelings for him but he knows my tommy they live next to each other...and when ever me and nick are together and i see tommy i get pissed and puch nick away i still love tommy and by the way tommy has a girlfriend and apparently he is in love with her one time on myspace he wrote a song and he sent it to me to see if it sounded good and if not if i could fix it up and i did and it hurt he doesnt know i am still in love with him so when ever i see him i get this stmach ache and i just wsh i was with him......what should i do? i want him really bad!!! i need to get him back...... (link)
i know exactly how you feel. i really miss my ex, too. but there is nothing wrong with being good friends. :) invite a group of friends to go out to dinner or to the movies or something. or maybe you and nick and tommy and his girl could double date. like i said, there is nothing wrong with being good friends. who knows? you may end up going out again soon. :)) hope it works out!! take care.


i had a relationship two years ago with a guy 3 years older than me. it ended after 4 months with a mutual decision to break up just because we lost interest in each other. he had another girlfriend by the end of the day and as you can imagine "shocked" was an understatement for my emotions that day. we didn't talk again for about a year when one day at around 3am we both happened to be online so we talked. then i didn't talk to him again. this week he's texted me everyday and we've been talking but its weird. its just like "whats up?" "nothing you?" "nothing....soooo" and then we don't talk until the next day. i didn't even know he still had my number because i deffinately did not have his. ok on to the question. what does he want?!!? why would someone randomly want to talk to their ex. its not like we hated each other, we just didn't talk. he's been with the girlfriend he had when we broke up ever since so im wondering if he's only talking to me because they broke up? but im not sure if they did and i dont want to ask because i dont want him to think i like him or want him back or anything. sooo why is he talking to me? i don't mind im just trying to figure out what he's thinking without asking him if thats possible. (link)
omg this same exact thing is happening to me. the thing with my ex is that he said we could never be friends and blah blah blah and then one day he just talked to me out of no where. and now everytime he goes to my good friend's house he calls me and we talk for a while. hes flirting. a lot. but he also just broke it off with this girl that he obviously liked a lot better than me. but im just getting the feeling hes turning back to me as his plan B. since plan A didnt work out, im the backup. maybe this is your case. maybe he either A) wants you back. B) just wants to keep you as a friend because he thinks you're cool. C) made you his backup plan since the first plan didnt work out. i really hope for you that its not C. if anything, i hope its A or B. take care. :)


15/f

alright so cameron is pretty funny and cool and i want to be friends with him because he seems like such a cool person to hang out with.

but the problem is he can be really "friendly-mean" to people including his friends. so usually when he says something mean to me i ask him about it and he says "thats just the way i am im sorry" or "i was just joking im sorry" and he sounds genuinely sorry.

but the tone in which he says it makes me feel as if i just..fail at something which is kind of sad and irritating at the same time. like usually i dont mind taking that kind of abuse unless i know in my heart that the person was kidding and i have no doubts about it, but in this situation im not so sure since ive only known cameron since school started!

so now i want to stand up for myself cause he said something yesterday that i really did not feel comfortable with but i dont want to start a fight or anything. and if i stand up to him again he might think im just a bitch, which i think he already thinks i am b/c of past circumstances. idc what people think of me, unless the person is really cool, which cameron is.

so what do i do? i just want to be respected but i want to make friends at the same time.. (link)
i used to have a friend just like that. and eventually we quit being friends. it just didnt work out. but his excuse was "mean and angry are all i have ever known. thats all i know how to do" he would always say the worst things and make me feel like i was scum. and i hated him for it, but when he tried, he was a very good friend. obviously this cameron dude has issues. this is what you should do:

have a heart to heart talk with him. tell him that hes hurting you and that he needs to quit it, or you're gone, babe. if he doesnt, then hes not worth being friends with. thats all there is to it. there is one person who will be nice to you and wont do anything mean to you for the world. that person is obviously not him. hope this helps. take care.


So i absolutley LOVE to dance but i've never actualy done like good choreographed dancing and i think i could be really good if i start dancing more and stuff cause i want to be a dancer but i dont relaly want to take ballet or anything right now so yeah any suggestions on like how to start like dancing and stuff if you want to be a dancer (link)
when i started dancing i took a youth kip-hop class. they had cool music (that i dont like anymore) and great teachers and stuff. and they teach you really cool steps and stuff.

i went at HDA (hermitage dance academy) and it was pretty expensive,...but yeah. if your interested.


do guys like tomboys or do they think of tomboys as a guy friend and save the pretty girls for there girlfriends or do some boys like tomboys if so please tell and what makes a girl sexy i would like to know (link)
i dont know. every guy is different. some think a tomboy is hott, others just like them as friends. but dont change yourself just so a guy will like you. if he doesnt like you for who you are, then he's not worth it.

but from experience, most jocks like preps, and skaters like almost anything. it just depends on what kind of guy you are crushing on.


Ok, how do you delete your history on google?
like when you type in someting, how do you make all the other items you have searched for dissappear?
Thanks soo much! (link)
i dont think thats really possible. you could try double clicking on the search thingy, and then when all the items show up, right click on the ones you want to go away. i dont know if that works or not, but its worth a shot. hope it helps. :)


this boy chris and i liked eachother and i guess 2 or 3 weeks ago we told eachother. and then it kinda got weird bc he stopped talking to me after that. and then we began to talk again and then it just stopped. and its about 2 weeks later and i can't really tell if he still likes me or not. is there anyway i can find out without just asking him, and do you have any ideas of what i can talk about with him online( we dont go to the same schoool)

thanks:) (link)
maybe you should send him a message saying "hey, idk if your up to it or not..." or something like that "but maybe you would like to go to a movie or something?"

and if he says yes then he still likes you. and then yall go to the movie, and you end up going out! thats what i would do...

hope it helps. :)) good luck!


hi my names katherine
i go to my dads at the weekends and i go to this youth club thing and we know a load of boys there.
anyway theres this boy called kile and the other week he was flirting with my step sister and i was there but the week after when she wasnt there he started flirting with me but a lot more than my step sis, anyway the week after my step sis came and he wasnt always with her he was like evening it out, but my other step sis asked him if he likes me an he said yes, but that day we met this other boy as well but hes one year younger than me and kiles two years anyway i know kile likes abi but me as well and i know the other boy likes me
what should i do (link)
well could you really see yourself dating both boys???? sounds like kile likes you and your step sister. why dont you let her take kile and you take the other dude? or maybe the other way around?


ok i like this guy and he is like all i want in a guy. he likes me but i dont know if its just cuz he wants sex from me or not and i dont really dont know how to find out. so can some1 answer my question??? (link)
has he actually said the words "sex is all i want in a girl"? if not, well then thats not what he wants. i mean, if he SAID that, then hes not worth it. there are plenty other guys out there that like you for way better things than sex. just whatever you do, do NOT have sex with him. then he'll just want more.


14/f
he's 16/m
we've been going out since october 13th..
things have been great
no fights, no drama, nothing
but this past week, i found out he smokes
i've told him before i have zero respect for those who smoke
because my dad died of lung cancer
from smoking
i told him i cared for him too much to see him kill himself like this
and since then
he's been so rude to me
he told me he only smokes when he's at work, on his break
so every time he goes on his break,
he'll text me and say "i'm on break guess what i'm doing?"
and of course i'll say "smoking."
and he aggrivates me on purpose...
i like him so much and i don't want to let him go
he's an amazing boyfriend
but i don't appreciate him being so mean to me
and also, he works with this girl, amanda
she's always saying how much she wants to do him and stuff
and he just texted me a few minutes ago
saying "i have good news"
so i said.. "what?"
and he said "amanda's going to indy with me after i get off!"
(his brother's in the hospital and he's supposed to go see him)


i don't know what to do here
he's never been so mean to me
it's like ever since i found out he smoked,
he's been in a bad mood
please help me
i don't know what to do.. (link)
i know what you mean. i've been there. my current boyfriend is a serious rebel. he doesn't smoke or drink but he knows that i drink and he accepts that because he really likes me. and if you love this guy, well then you should accept it. loving someone means caring about them...and also accepting them for who they are. i know you don't want to see him die like that, but once you start its kinda hard to stop. my dad stopped 9 times before he really STOPPED. but just tell him that even though you care about his health...that you accept the fact that he smokes. and tell him that is hes gonna be a dick about it then he can walk. course, that's just what i would do.


THIS IS G0ING TO SOUND DUMB BUT.
what does the word L 0 V E;; mean?

how do you know you love some one.
i mean i know i love my friends and family
but like a boy? (link)
well. think for a minute. what would you do for your friends and family. if the answer is anything, thats love. would you still accept your friends and family if they got fatter or if they cut their hair? what if they robbed a bank? if you say you would still love them, then just change the questions around. instead of putting "your friends and family" there, switch it out with "him", and then answer again. thats what love is to me. hope it helps. :)


Ok, here goes. A new guy (8 months ago) started hanging around with me and my friends. We are a very tight group and have been friends for 13 years. We are actually more like family. He was accepted into out "core" group really quickly which is rare.He constantly says he has never had friends like us before....friends that would do anything for each other. Him and I have gotten very close and up until a week ago spent almost all of our time together. We have a different bond than all the rest of out "group". I started having romantic feelings for him about 4 months ago. We flirt all the time and it so obvious to everyone else that we like/liked each other more than friends. One night I told him how I felt and he said he felt the same but if we didnt work out he knew that our group of friends would kick him out because we have been friends so long. He also said he needed to find himself and that he was scared. He wasnt ready to date and dosent really know how.Hes only been in two relaionships both long term (hes 26). I said ok and I could tell it hurt him to tell me that. I thought he was lying and just didnt want to date me but he told all our other friends the same things and that I am the most awesome person he has ever met. That he has to just keep telling himself I am not an option but sometimes it takes all his stregnth not to just kiss me and when Im not around that he misses me. He says he knows if we dated he would mess something up. He is still flirty but I just recently found out he has started dating(two weeks ago). He didnt want to tell me that and he still hasnt actually told me. Out other friends did. He has never even brought it up to me although he knows I know. I am heartsick over him cause I know he still feels the same. It just feels like we were meant to be together. What can I do I am going crazy? I dont know what to do if he actually brings around some of the women he is dating. Help! (link)
wow. thats really rough. so you said that if you two got together then your friends would kick him out of their circle?? ok. i know you may not want to hear this...but who cares? i mean, if they don't want you to be with the guy you like that likes you back then they are not your real friends. they should be getting you two together. see i honestly don't care what my friends think of my boyfriend. and you can tell them that if they cannot except him then they arent worth it. he, on the other hand, he is so worth it. i might be a little naive because im not in your position, but thats just my advice. hope it helps. and as for these girls hes dating? try to befriend them. although thats not what i would do. i'd tell them to screw off. that hes yours, not theirs. you dont have to take my advice on that one though. take care! :)


do you know a site that i can get pictures of paintings?
