Q: I kissed my friend just a pop kiss in front of guys, do guys think thats hot?
Also do guys get hard off of fingering a girl?
Just wondering.
i'm not sure what you mean by a "pop kiss"

and if your friend is a girl; i know a lot of guys that think girls kissing each other are hot.
as a matter of fact a few of my guy friends BEGGED me and a girl friend to make out for just like 5 seconds. it was hilarious.

and guys can get hard off of fingering; but it really depends on the guy. Most the time not just fingering will get a guy hard; you need more fore-play (which most girls perfer so they are wet before fingering...)

need anything else? ask back!

Q: okay so theres this guy.. and i like him. i talk to him bacically every day, but sometimes we have awkward silences. i dont like them.

like i cant talk to a guy. you know? its really hard. like ill be talking to this guy and it will go like this

me-hey
him-hey
---awkward silence
him-did you do your math homework(okay he asks this question like every day, but its about different subjects)
me-oh crap! (i get out my book)

--awkward silence
me-did you win your game last night?

him-next friday
--awkward silence

[[okay im telling a really long story..and i just ended it]]
me-hhaha
him-haha i was counting the times you said "and i was like" and it was 52 times!
--awkward silence

so yeah thats my story
how do you talk to a guy?
hellppp meeee :]
talk to him how you would any other guy friend; that way it wont be awkward...

i know that sounds hard; but it's not.

also; think before you speak.

how do you talk to a guy?
hellppp meeee :]
haha well first off; dont worry about it too much...

so dont sweat it and be yourself.

for example; if you are talking about whatever sport he plays; say "maybe i can come to your next game? cheer you on :]"

and with the long story thing and the "like"
i have actually had a guy say that to me when i told him a story over the phone (my count was like 40 in 15 minutes or something haha)
just be like "haha shut up!"

dont be afraid to joke around with him.

do you have guy friends you talk to? well treat it the exact same way! and remeber that guys are just as nervous as us talking to girls; i have plenty of guy friends that have told me so

Q: 14/f

I really want to get in shape. I'm not fat or anything, I'm actually a size 0, and only 88 pounds. But I have alot of body issues. I never feel thin enough and I hate wearing tight clothes, because when I was younger, I used to be a little chubby. I've heard that if you have been on the overweight side once, that you always feel like you're overweight, even when you're not. Well here's my problem, food totally dominates my life. I can't go more than an hour without thinking about it. And sometimes when I'm alone, I totally binge, and eat ever single thing in sight. Or sometimes I will eat one cookie, and I flip out on myself. So I think to myself, "Well I ate one cookie, why not just eat the whole bag?" So I give in and end up eating alot. Then later I beat myself up [emotionally] for it.

People tell me that I should eat and not worry, but I can't. This has got to stop. I eat like a million things within an hour. I think I'm an emotional eater, because I've been really stressed lately. Does anyone have any advice on how to control my emotional eating? (Please don't say "work out" because I already do, about an hour a day.)
well first if you know that you aren't overweight and you think that it's an emotion thing go talk to someone...

not nessicarly like a shrink; but your mom or a school consoluer.

you binge; but i have a question? to you throw it up after words cause you feel bad about it?

if you cant control this on your own; you need to see someone; because even if it isnt at this point yet; it could lead to anerexia or bulemia; which i have had friends that went through them and they are bad.

if you need anything else please ask back.

Q: im soo bored w. my clothes but everytime i go to a store i usually end up getting different things that dont go together as an outfit. so yeahh if anyone has some cute ideas for outfits from like abercrombie or hollister.. or any other stores then give me the links. thanks :)
if you go to AE.com

(american eagle) they have an option where you can buy outfits...
i think you have to go through the "gifts" section...but they usually have 3 outfits; that they change a lot...

go through Aerie on there too for more options

Q: Last time my boyfriend and I got together we did some risky things, but I didn't have sex exactly. He fingered me and I touched myself. I'm almost sure neither of us had anything on our hands. Now, its getting near my period and its different. normally, my breasts get very tender and that hasn't happened yet. Normally I'm very regular about this. I've been getting some slight cramps, and again that doesn't happen.

Does this mean something? Could I be pregnant because my period isn't happening as it usually is? Or am I just having an off month?
as for the one right below me you can get pregnant w/o sex.
it's rare; but it happens (like if he cums and it gets on your hands during a HJ or BJ)

but since you dont think there was any on your hands then i doubt that's it...

worring about it can sometimes make you late; so that might be part of it.

I'd suggest waiting a few days and see if you start; if not get an EPT.

hope i helped!

Q: There's this purse that i really want.. and i'm not sure what it's called. it's kind of big and it comes in all different colors, it zips at the top and has two brown handles.. here's a link to a picture of one.

if its not it, it looks a lot like it.

Q: I have been friends with this girl, Diane, for two years. We were best friends, but then she did many horrible things to me and we got in a fight. I didn't talk to her for three months. All that happened was she cussed me out twice for no reason in those three months after doing some other things. But for some crazy reason, I took her back as a friend. She broke up with this kid, Michael, and I was talking to him on IM because we were sort of friends. He was saying stuff like, "Oh, she's talking to a bunch of other people. She doesn't have time for us." And I said, "No, she's only talking to one person. This guy named Daniel from New Jersey." And he says, "Does she like him?" So Diane was on and I IMed her and said, "Do you like Daniel?" And she said, "Yes..." So I copied the conversation back to him and he said, "Did he like her why she was going out with me? Can you ask her?" And I IMed Diane again and said, "Did you like him while you were going out with Michael?" Then she said, "Uh, yeah." I felt like Michael needed to know and I didn't want to lie since he told me to ask her and I copied my conversation with Diane to him. He started getting really upset. He got so upset that I felt like crying myself. A few minutes later, Diane signed off. Normally she says bye and stuff, but this time she had just suddenly signed off. Almost ten minutes later, Michael said, "Ok, I'm so sorry. I told her. I copied my conversation with you to her and she said that she had to go and signed off." Now she's mad at me again. Lately she has been very rude to me and some other girls for no reason. I still have not forgiven her completely for what she did to me in the past. Did I do the right thing? Should I apologize or do I just let her go as a friend?
well you should definatly appologize, because it obviously upset her.
as for the let her go part, that should come after the appology.

Depending on how she recieves it. If she forgives you, work on it, try and be friends.

If she is a bitch about it, move on.

DONT get angry with her though.
do not be like "well everyone copies IM's from other people and shows it blah blah" cause thats justifying it, not appologizing.
Be calm and level headed, see how that goes, and decide from there what to do with your friendship...


Good luck! Ask back if needed

Q: There is this guy I really like, and he told my friend he likes me too. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how I can turn him from a guy friend to a boyfriend? and PLEASE don't say "ask him out" or "hang out with him" because I know that. I want suggestions on waht kind of things to do or say or whatever. we also have the same lunch @ school.
you have lunch together?
okay, then invite him to sit with you
or go sit with him and his friends.
get to know him
ask him to chill one-on-one.
just talk with him.
flirt like crazy.
sit close with him

good luck! keep me posted! :)

Q: Hey. Well, I sent someone a friend request but they never replied back to it, and everytime I try to do another friend request, it says that I already have a pending request for that person. How can I send another friend request to that same person? Thanks
on your home page
click the "friend request" button.
there will then be the tab saying "pending requests"
click on that.
it will show all who you have sent requests to, that havent excepted.
hit "cancel" on the person you want to send another one to.
go back to their site, and re-invite them.

Q: 13/F

Okay, I just starting going out with my amazing boyfriend, (who just happens to be my best friend's ex, but she knows and she's not mad)and we went to the movies last night, and had an incredible night. We kissed, we told each other we loved each other, and pretty much everything else. He tried to make out with me the whole movie, but after I got my point across that I wasn't going to make-out with him the whole movie, he finally stopped, and we just held hands, cuddled, and flirted. I thought he was going to stop liking me because I didn't want to continue as far as he wanted me to, but he called me after our date, and we only talked for a few minutes. Now, here's the thing: I told my best friend (his ex) about our date, and all she could tell me was that everything he said and did was only a game to try to get in my pants. I believe her, but I really like him. (I would never give in to having sex with him, though) So, is there any advice anyone could give me on how to deal with this whole situation?
Thanks so much!

P.S. And he's definitely not as perverted as he seems, he's actually very nice.
she might just be jealous
but you never know.
if you know you would never give into it, dont stress it.
if he tries to pressure you, do what you did before at the movie
talk to him about it and tell him you arent ready (if he pressures you. not just randomly out of the blue or he will be like wtf?!)

so good luck! ask back if you need :)

Q: OK this is the hardest thing i have ever been through.. :( and i have never felt this way about someone before..we have been through so much and shared so many good memories..well the story goes like this...
A girl comes out of nowhere and starts flirting with my bf of 9 months on myspace. They wind up hanging out at a football game with friends and he tells me he has some feelings for her. This was heartbreaking. However..i wanted to work it out with him so when he suggested 'open relationship' as in he dates her(not go out) and maybe kisses/hugs her and i agreed to this and to still be with him. I decided it wasnt fair to me..because we had 9 months..i dont desserve this and it hurts..so i break up with him..He says he loves me and sees a future with me as in marriage..that it wont get serious with the new girl but how am i supposed to know? (i mean he might go out with her he says..what do i do then?)They are hanging out more..they call each other..shes driving me nuts with her shoutouts to him and comments..and hes putting her shoutout in his info..its just too much and it breaks my heart. I dont know what to do..isolate myself from him..like not talk to him or hang out or anything so he makes a choice? (like if hes away from me maybe he will miss me..or maybe he will decide he wants her) Or do i be his friend? do i kiss him still and cuddle? i really want to..but this is very hard for me. Hes a sweetheart though. he told me everything..he was honest about her..and we made an agreement that he tells me everything and he has. they were talking together by the lake..they might go to the movies tomorro..i flip flop back and forth though..be his friend and hang out/talk/cuddle/kiss him...but sometimes i feel so sad and hurt i feel like i should back away completely. what do i do? is this worth the wait?
just tell him that you cant have this "open relationship" crap.
its basically him wanting to cheat.
And he might be content with FWB (friends with benifits, or what you called kissing buddy)
but you cant be that
TRUST ME. ive done it. Justing being a guys hook up when you like/love them
hurts so much more than being nothing
its like, lower than friends.
so just tell him the truth
it hurts that he wants to be with her and yet says he loves you. it isnt fair to you, and you honestly need him to chose.
be careful though, and know there is a chance he will say he doesnt want a serious thing, or that he wants to be with her.
but trust me, having it all clear, will help in the long run.
think about it, not knowing what is happening sucks.

i hope it all works out. if you needed ANYTHING else, just ask back :)

AuntieEm

Q: i really like this girl and i think she kinda likes me back but i'm too scared to ask what should i do???
get over being scared.
love/life is all about taking risks.
so take one. you never know.
if you wait too long, she could move on.
you will never know how she feels unless you take it upon yourself.

good luck. and if you need anyother help, just lemmy know :)

Q: I'v been shaving, down there, for 5 years now, and I'v never really had razor burn, or cut myself, but two days ago I started noticing that I had a really painful, sensitive area on both sides of ..well I'm not really sure how to describe the area... I guess its sort of on either side, inbetween my vagina and anus (but closer to the outside (by my leg)) I took a mirror and checked it out, but it's just red.. For an insight to what it feels like.. it's like when you wear really tight clothes, and get lines of cut off circulation, and it's sensitive to touch, like the clothes almost cut you... thats what it feels like.
It can't be an std because i'v only had sex with one guy, my boyfriend, and we've been having sex for 3 years. If it's not razor burn or a cut, and it's not an std... what is it?! btw.. i'v had plenty of yeast infections to know it's not that. I should probably add, though, that I wore my new underwear I bought at target, the other day, without washing them first... I didn't think I needed to since they don't let people try on underwear anyway... maybe that could be it?
I'm not sure what this is, I hope it's just razor burn or a cut cuz it HURTS and thats what it feels like.. but of course I'v never felt this before so I can't be quite sure, i suppose.

*sorry this is so long*
i'm not quite sure what it is as i cant see it, you know?
but it is probally just razor burn, but you never know.
it could be from the underwear, or it could still be from your boyfriend even if you have been having sex before.
so go see a gyno (which is you are active you should be seeing anyway to make sure everything is in order) and find out
it could be just razor burn, or it could be more serious
i hope for razor burn for your sake, but hey, you never know. so get it checked out. better safe then sorry.

good luck! :)

Q: 16, female.

tonight my friend had a little bonfire for her bday! and well this kid ive liked on and off for about 5 months was there. he's actually her neighbor. we've been pretty good friends for awhile and well now he has a a girlfriend of about 4 months. well me and him still flirt KIND OF, not as bad as before he had a girlfriend but then to me its flirting but to him or others it might not be. like me and a couple guys were throwin the football around and me and him (matt) were at one end, in the dark and we were kinda close and when they guys would throw it hard at me on purpose he would like jump in front to try and save me and he would always give me the ball because i wanted to throw it, but he would pass it off to me. but he wouldnt hand it to me he would like kind of hug me from behind and then give the ball to me. and then he was sayin i liked this guy that i madeout with but really i dont! long story..anyways he knew that i was getting angry with him but he knew that i would just punch him or run after him or like hit him in the stomache so he kept doing it and each time he would grab my hand and smile. also when we would sit by the fire he was sitting next to me and i looked at him and then he like took his hand and tapped it on my face/chin :] i dont know if you know what im talking bout! but then he took my purse and was holding it and was looking through it and saw i had my school pictures and he looked at it and then took one
allrighty...a tad long, but you look like you need some help here, bad.
the guy has a girlfriend? i'd distance myself.
well, now i would...i was in a smiliar situation this past year and it nearly killed me.
We'd flirt non-stop, he kept telling me he was gonna break up with his girlfriend, then that he loved her oh-so-much. long story short, we made out, they stayed together, she found out, they broke up, she, and our entire grade HATED me. and i STILL didnt get the guy.

so just be careful...i know you are all happy and smily, but think of when you are at home...you are sad and you miss him. but he is most likely out with his girl. Plus, any guy that is doing all that when he has a girlfriend, shouldnt be in a relationship, and this will sound harsh since it is typed, not said, but why if you two got together wouldnt he do it to you?
think about that for a bit...


and i know you said you dont wanna talk to him, but you need to. you need to clear the air and figure things out, TRUST ME, having it all be clear, makes EVERYTHING much simpler. i promise you.

I hope everything works out, and i can tell you really like this guy, so i hope it goes well. if you need any more help, just message me on here okay?
xoxo

Q: ok this is very embarrassing but my class has just is starting another health unit. Last we we learned the same thing and had a test and I, of course, failed miserabaly and STILL do not know where the vagina is! I was going to ask the teacher but I felt embarrased. There could be any holes! Is it the hole where pee comes out? Is it where they take a S***? or is there a third hole? =S Please answer if you're a girl since I want to know from a person that actually knows since girls have it and not boys.
the vagina is the biggest one in the front
its the one between the pee hole and the poo hole (anus)
where if you have had your period, the blood comes out/tampon goes in...

hope i helped.

Q: me and my friend want to hang out tonight, but we really don't have anywhere to go. we've done the mall countless times, and there's no movies to go see. is there anywhere else or anything me and my friend can do to entertain ourselves?


HELP.
bowling is always fun
espeically cosmic bowling
ice skating/roller skating at a rink
or roller blading around town/street.
take a walk in the woods if you have any that are SAFE near you.
go to a local playground

get some board games, new or old. and play.
Clue. Girl Talk. Mall Madness. Cranium. All fun.

Find different card games to learn.

Or, to make the mall re-fun, go into stores you've never been in, or wouldnt normally shop in.
If you are preppy, hit up hot topic. If spencers hot topic is more your scene, try AE or Forever 21
go to all different stores you've never been to, and stay away from usual spots.

Have fun!

Q: 13/f/Tx
My boyfriend asked me if I was ready for him to kiss me. I've truthfully never kissed anyone before. He's taking me to the movies this weekend. He said if I was ready he wanted to kiss him there. I told him to talk to my cousin because she always knows everything, but he wants an answer from me. What do I do?
just tell him you have never kissed before and are nervous
but its nothing to be nervous about, espeically if he is your boyfriend.

if you honestly arent ready, tell him so. but if its just that your nervous, tell him that as well.

Good luck and happy kissing :)

Q: Me and my friend have been best friends for about a year...she started going out with this guy and we stopped hanging out like we used to and yes it dissapointed me but im okay with it now. Well all of a sudden she starts telling me how they are arguing over stupid stuff and then he comes and pulls me aside and tells me the same thing. It's been going on for about a month & its really annoying. Well then her bf tells me one day that he wants to get a hotel room with me and chill and go party at the clubs all night. My friend can't leave her house because shes grounded. Well at first i was shocked but then i thought well yea that could be cool. Well the night before we went we were all drinking and since she cant leave he asked me to walk him home. so i said yea bc he lives right near me. well he started saying that if we were drunk would anything happen. i said i dont know. and then i said well i dont think u would cheat on "barbra". and he said well u never kno but i would cheat on her with you if we were both drunk. At that point i didnt know what to do so i walked him home and left. What should i do!?
she is your best friend you said?
then do not o anything with this guy.
even if she was barley your friend. girl code hun.

and you should tell her he was saying this stuff. in person.

just be like "look i know you probally wont want to hear this, but the other night when we were out he was asking me all this stuff and nothing happened, i just walked him home, but i thought you should know."
depending on her reponce, which could be pissed off, hurt, not believeing you or whatever, go from there.

good luck.ask back if you need. : )
