Well some boy admitted to me online that he did the nod thing to me and he said i turned my head the other way ... i constantly stare at him also he said that his girlfriend was a bitch and she gets on his nerves i also asked why the other day online he wanted nothing to do with me he said idk. i asked why he is still with the gf and he said that he loves her and its only sometimes.do you think he likes me? he also stares at me (link)
Sorry, but if he's said to you he wants "nothing to do with you" or whatever, then I don't think he likes you like that.

Just think of it this way - what if you WERE to become his girlfriend? You would never really know if he'd be out there, nodding towards other girls and doing the things he did to you, to them. Would you really want a boyfriend like that? I don't think so.

Also, the reason he may just be doing this, is because he says he loves his girlfriend, but SOMETIMES she's a bitch. Sometimes whenever couples fight, the guy tries to "get back" at the girlfriend or go out for attention towards another girl cause he's obviously not getting it from his girlfriend, so they go flirt with another girl. He might've figured,"Hey, I'll get attention from her. She'll flirt with me, etc." Which in that case, he wouldn't deserve you anyways, and that'd make him a huge jerk.


I would just back off this guy - like I said, he sounds like a jerk to me, and he has a girlfriend anyways who he "loves". It doesn't sound like it could really go anywhere anyways, and if it did, it'd go nowhere good in the end.

I hope I helped.


whats that mean if a boy nods ? people have been telling me diff stuff (link)
Well obviously, if you two are in a conversation, like most people when they nod, they're saying "yes" or just like "i'm listening to you, i agree," etc.

But if he's just walking by you or walking up towards you, and does a little nod with his head, that usually means they're just saying hey.

I hope I helped.


I want to get DDR for PlayStation2 but my parents think it's stupid. I've got enough money to get all the equipement and everything but they won't let me. Is there any way I can convince them it's more than just a 'stupid arcade game'? Thanks. (link)
Parents are really tough when it comes to video games, but one reason it's a good idea to get this game is, even thoguh it is yes, entertainin and fun and everything, it can also be a pretty good work out session! So if you're not very active, this could be a chance for you to get some exercise while having fun at the same time.

Also, if this is all your money and everything, shouldn't you be able to make the decision of what you want to purchase with it? I mean, I know they'd have the right to say no if you wanted to buy a like, gun or something, but this is just a video game.

I hope I helped.


okay i asked the question about why that guy doesn't talk to me at school but does on th internet.....well i have asked if he likes me already and he said he didn't buth kenows i like him....and he said i'd be a good friend and stuff and he has a grilfreind....but i've noticed he doesn't talk to me as much when he has a girlfriend he just stares more at school....i don't understand what is goin on and also all the gilrs he went out with this year used to be my old friends he's only been out with 2 girls though but they both were my freinds las year......WHAT"S GOIN ON i am so confused.??????? (link)
Hm, I've tried re-reading this question over and over again, and I really don't know what to tell you, exactly. It sounds to me like he may just be messing with your head then if he's told you he's not feeling you in that way.

Guys are always so weird whenever they do things like this, and girls can never understand what they're actions mean.

If he says he doesn't feel that way about you, then I guess he doesn't. :/ The next time he keeps staring mention something to him and see what he says. Maybe he hasn't been realizing he's been staring so much, and he'll stop.

I hope I helped. :/


14/female

i have asked plenty of guys out in the past, but they all turned me down. i'm surely not ugly. i'm skinny (average skinny) and i look pretty anyway without make-up. and i have really pretty hair too. and i have a lot of friends and a lot of people have told me i have a great personality.

the thing is, i'm tired of being turned down. i want a guy (that i like) ask me out. and i'm actually not very picky about the guys i like. don't get me wrong, guys notice me when i pass them, i just don't know why they're so afaid to ask me out.

what do you think i'm doing wrong? and/or should i just be patient a little bit longer?
and what are some tips i might need to get a guy?

i'm tired of walking through the halls at school and watching people be happy and hugging and making-out. i feel like an outsider looking in. i want to part of the happiness.

thanks. :] (link)
i don't think you're doing anything wrong at all. it's the guys, they're always weird like that. usually guys are the ones who make the moves, ask the girls out and whatnot, so whenever you go up to them and ask them out ; that may freak them out that you have confidence. also, the guys might be intimidated by you. if you have pretty hair and a pretty face and are skinny, maybe the guys just don't feel like they measure up to you, or maybe they're afraid you'll turn THEM down.

and to those guys who turned you down ; it's going to happen. sometimes personalities just don't match, and even though you're pretty and have pretty hair, there just might have not been a connection. i mean i don't think I'M that bad looking either, but i can't seem to snag a guy that has the same interests as me, or we just didn't mesh well together.

i know you want to be liek one of those people, believe me, all girls do, but you're only 14. you have all the time in the world. just don't make it your top priority, you know? hang out with your friends, flirt with guys, have fun, live life, just be a teenager. and who knows? if you keep meeting guys and flirt with them and show interest, one of them might ask you out sometime. :]


some tips? just be yourself, i know that sounds corny, but it's true. just show them the real you, crack jokes, flirt a little more and more everytime you see them, and make alot of direct eye-contact and smile. and get to know them better ; people like talking about themselves, so ask him questions about himself, and listen. :]

don't worry, a guy'll come along.

i hope i helped!


okay there is this guy i like and i'm kind of freinds with him.....i guess let see what you think. okay well i have talked to him alot on aol instant messageing but he won't ever talk to me at school and he asked me if i like him on aim and i said yes and all he does it stare at me and all of his friends talk about me and him and his freinds stare at me at lunch but always try to play it off.....i don't get it why doesn't he tlak to me at school and why does he stare at me all the time? (link)
It sounds to me like he might like you. The reason he might be talking to you in school is because that'd require talking face to face, which might be making him nervous. It's easier to talk to people over the internet, cause you don't have to worry about what to do, or how to look or anything. It's less pressure.

And ususally whenever guy's are looking at you alot, that means their interested. And if his friends are talking about you two and looking at you, they may be checking up on you for him and that might mean he's mentioned to friends he likes you.

Ask him on the internet - don't straight out ask him, just mention it casusally sometime. Be like,"Hey, I noticed we never talk in school - why is that? I'd like to talk to you more in school. :]" And see what he says. Also, mention the friends factor. Be like,"The other day at lunch, I noticed your friends were looking at me or at least in my direction alot. Do you know why?" Or just something similiar.

I hope I helped.


so i've liked this guy for a while now.
well i told one of my good friends how
i hooked up with him. she told me how happy
she was for me and everything. well about a week later she goes a hooks up with him! then she tells
my other friends that me and her are after the
same guy now. what do i do? and why did she
do it? (link)
I would consider wether you really want friends with this girl or not - she clearly knew what she was doing, and she knew you liked him. She's not a very good friend at all, if you ask me.

Now if she hadn't known and such, that would just be a clear mistake, and I'm sure she wouldn't have meant to do it.

I would have a talk with her about it, and ask her why she would do that to you, and hook up with this guy when she clearly knows you liked him and you confided in her.

The most I would do is not trust her anymore with information obviously, and see if you want to continue a friendship with her. And with the guy? See what happens with him, and just flirt with him alot and everything ; but if he's gonna be hooking up with your friends, he doesn't sound like a very good guy for you, either. I'm sure he knew what he was doing, too.

I hope I helped.


I don't know why and it's kinda gross but lately like everyone in my class started wearing thongs instead of underwears and even the teacher! I don't get what's so good about having a peice of string hanging up your ass. Is it like because when you're wearing something that's not jeans that the lines on your thongs wont show up as much as an underwear would? Or is it cheaper or something? (link)
No, it's not cheaper at all, thongs are usually the same price as all other sorts of underwear.

Me, personally, I don't see it either. I don't want a piece of string up my ass, so I just wear those little boy short things.

Alot of girls like them because they're "sexy" and flattering to them and it might make them see older and such. Others like them for the fact that there's no panty line and stuff from them, and they're not as visible.

I hope I helped.


My bestfriends mom passed away and she asked me to go to the service. BUt i have absolutely no idea on what i am supposed to wear. She catholic so idk if its different from different religions.

Is the service also the funeral.

Any advice please give.
thank you (link)
A service is a funeral, yes.



I would suggest wearing a dress, and one that'd obviously be appropriate for this type of occasion. Just a nice, simple outfit. And nothing bright, either. Darker colors ( most people usually wear black ) work.


So maybe go through your closet and look at the choices, and maybe even ask your mother or someone for help who might know what's appropriate and what's not and you can get their opinion.



I hope I helped.


Yeah. I kind of need help!! Me and my best friend r having a huge fight right now and I don't know what to do. We both said things we didnt mean. What should I do? Im so confused? ;0; Please help me. I already apologized but she wont take my apology!! (link)
Well, you can't force her to accept your apology. What would probably be the best thing to do right now, is to just give her some space, but not THAT much space. Because if you keep pushing her and bothering about it, she'll only get more mad.

Just tell her you understand why she won't accept your apology and everything, but you hope in time she will. And ask her if she'd like to talk about it, and try and work things out. If she says no, then tell her you understand, and you hope later in time she'll want to talk it out. And if she ever is, you're there.

And just keep trying to keep in touch with her every now and then and let her know you're sorry and stuff. And show her that you miss her, and want things to return to the way they used to be. Over time, if she's not one to hold grudges, she'll realize how much you're sorry and how much you miss her, and she'll want to forgive you and return things back to normal.

I hope I helped.


AHH OMG OK SO I HAVE THIS SONG STUCKKK IN MY HEAD! its like, "let me know that you need me, let that be enough" sorry i dont no the lyrics that good but pleaseee its by a male singer if you could just give the name and artist it would be amazin!!!!!!!!!!! (link)

okay so i like this guy and im pretty sure he likes me too, but the problem is my friend used to like him. she is now involved with another guy and she told me before that she didn't like him anymore. would it be wrong if i started to go out with him? (link)
No, not at all. Just because your friend USED to like him, doesn't mean he's off-limits. I would just make sure with her first, just to get the ok from her. Just mention to her you like him, and if she'd mind if the two of you were to go out, because you know she used to like him.

I'm sure she'll be glad to know you considered her thoughts and feelings on it before you acted on anything, and you'll be positive and guilty-free to start dating him.


I hope I helped.


alright well i'm adopted and im 14 right now, almost 15. and the parents that i live with and my birth mom send letters/pictures back and forth. and kind of a while ago, the mom that i live with and i were talking about me meeting my birth mother. and she said i would probably meet her around the age of 18-24. but i really want to meet her now. and i have a little brother and a little sister, and i wanna meet them too. and i wanna be a part of their lives.

i guess my question is:

do you think its the right time to meet them?
and how should i bring this up with the mom that i live with? (link)
I can't tell you exactly when it's going to be the right time or not for you to meet your birth mother ; that's something only you'll know & feel. If you feel you're ready, let your [current] mother know, and just sit down with her sometime soon and talk with her about it.

They might feel 18-24 is a better age cause you'll be a little more older and they might you could handle it better emotionally and everything.

Like I said before, just sit down with your mother, and ask her about your birth mother and why the feel you must wait so long to meet her, and that you feel you're ready NOW to meet her. You really want to be a part of their lives and want to get to know your other family and see what they're like.


I hope I helped.


Okay, i was just reading a question and a answer and it said that raves were illegal...what exactly are raves and why are they illegal? (link)
Raves are these humungous gatherings held in huge, usually out-of-nowhere places where they can't be heard ( like maybe a warehouse or somewhere like that ), and you just party for a several amount of days.

The reason they're illegal is because at these parties, lots of drugs can be found and teenagers are probably having sex and things, and kids could just get into alot of trouble for going to raves and getting caught by the police.

ok i started taking motrin becuz i was depressed. and now if i dont take it i get these HORRIBLE headaches and i think mi addicted to them. and like last thursday in the middle of class i was getting extremely hot and dizzy and naucious. and i dont know what to do! (link)
I'm not too sure what to tell you since I've never had an experience like that, but it may be that you're addicted to them. Since you've been taking so much motrin, your body has probably started gettign used to it, and it's not in it's system.

I highly suggest going to a doctor and asking him what you should do in cases like this, because that seems extremely unhealthly if you're addicted and getting hot and dizzy and naucious. I'd make the soonest appointment possible and ask him for his medical advice.

I hope I helped.


Ok one of my friends are gay. let's call her tina. at first everyone thought tina was gay/lesbian whatever, because of the way she dressed.(she wore her clothes a LITTLE loose and somtimes she wore a lot of things that boys would wear) but she denied that she was a lesbian, so everyone backed off. but then everyone noticed that she was being a little too friendly with two girls. let's call them ciara and brittany. somehow people just started the rumor that tina was a lesbian again, and this time she didn't deny it. then tina ended up going out with brittany and they just broke up. the details are a bit too long, so i'll just get to the point. i was over tina's house after she broke up with brittany, because i still wanted to be her friend even though her sexual orientation had changed. when i was over there, she was askin me should she go back out with brittany and she let me listen to the message that brittany left on her answering machine. they both wanted to get back with each other, and were saying that they loved each other. well, ask you can probably already tell, i feel a little uncofortable with this who situation. any ideas on ways i can feel a little more comfortable with this would be great!!! (link)
I know you may find it weird or uncomfortable, but realize how hard this must be for her, for one. Alot of people aren't as accepting to homosexuals so she may get teased and such and really might need you to be there for her, and she'll need someone to talk to about stuff.

I have alot of bisexual friends and such and whenever they start talking to me about things like that, if I REALLY start feeling uncomfortable, I just pretend it's her talking about, her boyfriend or something, or I just pus the fact out of the way that's it's another person of the same gender.

Just try and do your best and be there for her as much as you can.


Heyy everyone! :D
im Hailey (link)
It depends with every single guy, because every guy's going to have their own opinion. Some like to chase the girl and ask her out, ask for her number, etc. But some guys ( most guys ) do like it whenever the girl might ask for the guy's phone number for once or something.

Talking to them first or asking for a number shows that the girl has alot of confidence, not too much, but some which most girls usually don't have any confidence at all whenever it comes to guys and everything, and it's a nice little breather for them since they wouldn't have to do all the work.

I hope I helped.


what usually happens when they take your braces off..,

doees it hurt? some of my friends said it kinda hurt :S (link)
It didn't hurt me at all. It maybe felt a little strange, because you know the braces are so tight, it feel like they're taking a tooth out ( not pain wise ) it's just that since your teeth won't be so locked together cause of the braces and tight, they feel alot looser.

It's painless.

I hope I helped.


last night i hooked up with my friends crush. the thing is, i didnt know she liked him! she was always talking about this other guy she liked. well i think she got really jealous and upset and i havent talked to her about it since. but i know i should. what should i say to her and she i talk to her face to face, online, through a note, or what??? (link)
Well the best way to talk to someone ( and show repsect ) is to do it face-to-face, but if you feel you cant' do it, then do it the way you feel most comfortable.

I would just be like,"____, I'm so incredibly sorry. I know "sorry" probably won't make it for what I did, but I just want you to know that I truely am and I wish I had never done anything with him, I majorly regret it. I honestly didn't know you liked him, otherwise I never would've done anything. I assumed you liked ____, because you've always talked about him. Even though I know this is no excuse because I really hurt your feelings and everything and I understand you're mad at me, but please consider starting over, please? Like I said before, I'm really sorry and I didn't mean to do anything purposely to hurt you, and I never would." ( or something like that ; just try and take some parts i've written maybe and make it your own words adn feelings ).

And then just let her read it and give her time to think about it. Don't try taklign to her, cause that'll just annoy her. Let her sit down and really think about wether she's ready to forgive you or not and see if she talks to you. If she tells you she cant' forgive you yet, let her know you understand, and you really hope someday soon she can, and that she'll want to talk and be friends.

But I'm sure she'll realize it was all a mistake, and one huge regret and you're really sorry because it's not like you purposely meant to hook up with the guy she liked ; you didn't even know she liked him. It was all one huge mistake and misunderstanding.

I hope I helped.


Is being all over someone and hooking up with someone the same thing or different? (link)
Well, it could be the same thing, or it could be different; it all depends on how you view it and how you want to put it.

To me, being all over someone is maybe like, clinging yourself to them and flirting heavily and just like, not giving them their space, basically and are, as the terms but, all over them. Maybe grabbing and such too, because whenever two people are all over eachother they're making out and grabbing eachother and everything, so like I said, there's different ways to view it.


Hooking up ( to me ) is like, making out, or more than that & sex. To some, hooking up could be jsut a heavy make out session where you grab eachother.

So it really depends on how you view it, and what you think it is.
