Q: ok so i've liked this guy for like 2 years off and on. my best friend said that during the summer he liked me 2. well i guess i finally got over him by the end of ther summer and then he turned up in my math class, sitting right next to me. i find myself liking him again, and he always finds time to talk to me during p.e. , and for the stupidist reasons, does he like me?? (sorry about the length ) thanx
Try being friends with him first. It sounds like he is trying to be friends with you. If it leads to something more, that's great. If it doesn't, you don't look like a fool.

Q: I went to the movies with a guy I like last night and we had a really great time. I gave him a handjob and he fingered me. He wanted me to do more and he was asking me for head and I got upset and asked him if that's the only reason he came and he seemed really upset and kept telling me he would never do that to me and he felt bad that I would think that of him. While we were there though, he would put his arm around me and hold my hand and he'd open EVERY door and he was a complete gentlemen. Also, later on he appologized for acting stupid and for asking me to do more. Then he asked me to go out next weekend. The other think is, before yesterday, he didn't even try to keep in touch with me for about a month (we go to different schools) so I had to start talking to him again.(he also appologized for that too) I don't want to be used and I don't want to be hurt again. I want a real relationship. Do you guys think that he's using me and leading me on or should I continue seeing him until I know for what he wants from me?
Yes, this guy is using you. If you go out with him again, it will be the same thing.

There are too many nice guys you could date to waste your time on someone that seems to me mainly interested in sex.

Q:
SORRY SO LONG


okay i have been talking to this guy for a month or so...he is really sweet to me but im scared im gonna get hurt.(i was hurt badly in the last 5-6 months)so im kinda keeping my distince from him ya know?now he thinks im playing hard to get and i really like him!now hes going out with some girl he knows from highschool who happens to be a slut.hes been talking to her but only when he was drinking or needed some(he was never like that to me)im still talkking to him but should i even though he has a girlfriend.by the way if all goes well with us he plans on breaking up with her
i DO rate....

signed, confused
Don't waste your time on this guy. Seems like he just wants some action anywhere he can get it. You don't want to be the "other woman" anymore than you want to be the woman he is cheating on. If he cheats on his current girlfriend, he'll cheat on you.

Q: I asked this girl out once before and she turned me down for another guy, but she said that she really liked me she just wanted to see if there was anything between them. They just broke up recently. I still like her. Should i give it a try?
Why would you want to give this another try? Find someone who is worthy of your affection.

Q: Oh my goodness okay well i havent had my period in about 40 days and i thought that maybe i just skipped a month. I have my first boyfriend right now and we're really close and we were on a vacation thing together..we didnt do anything sexual AT ALL and my mom just asked me if i was pregnant!! and now im terrified because i dont know why im so late and i thought i just skipped a month but i guess not..im definetely not pregnant but my mother scared me and now im really worried! please..could someone please give me a reaosn why my period could be so late?
Stop stressing over this. Stress can cause your period to be even later.

Q: okay, ive been working out everyday for like 2 weeks now and ive been getting into REALLy good shape. . but i havent really been loosing weight, just getting really tone.. the thing is, i eat ALOT. not like fattening foods, its healthy/okay foods. but i just like overload on it i guess.. and i HATE the idea of "eating in moderations".. its so hard! once u take a bite out of something, you just want to eat more.. any good motivational tips that would help me eat in moderations?? thanks =]
Drink more water. Water will fill you up. You aren't going to lose a lot of weight at first because your muscles are toning. Muscle weighs more than fat.

Q: 13/f. OH MY GAWD. K so like I just have a 5 person orgy. (we usd condums) but the guy I was doing at the time has an std and he wore a condom but it broke and he spermed in me. And then I had sex with 2 other guys and rubbed my vagina on a chick. We all might be in danger. Today my vagina was bleeding! What do I do? I might be pregnant and have an std, and Im apposed to have sex again today with a different guy! Wut do I do?!?!?! help me!!

xoxo

P.S. Dont call me a slut cause im not!
Go to the health department.
J

Also, stop having sex. Immediately. This is crazy, dangerous behavior, which can literally kill you and other people.

Q: i thought i loved this guy but now were 2getha i no that i dnt. and i dunno how to tell him. ive let it go on for a month n i cnt deal with it any longer and i no its not fair on him. how do i tell him?
How about I don't want to go out with you anymore? It's always worked for me.

Q: My boyfriend and I have been dating since I was in eighth. He is currently a senior and I'm a junior. I haven't made a decision as to where I'd like to go to college yet because I don't want to be far from my boyfriend. Yes, I know I am young but my boyfriend and I wanted to eventually get married and live together when we both got out of highschool. My question is this: Do you think it's the wrong thing to do choosing to go to the same college or one near the college your boyfriend is going to, just to be near to him? I know people that would think it's a stupid idea, but I want to be with my boyfriend. We've talked about it alot and I'm not sure what I'm going to do! I was even thinking about this back when I first started dating him 4 years ago. These four years have gone by fast and I figured I'd have a plan in place by now. I just need help. I don't know where I should go! Also, I don't even know what I want to do for a living, so I was going to see if there was anything at the colleges that he chose. Does that seem like the wrong thing to do? PLEASE HELP! I'm so lost and confused.
Ordinarily, I would say it was a bad idea to base your college decision on your boyfriend. In this case, though, since you've been together so long and don't really have a strong preference on where you go to school, I say go for it. As long as he's going to a decent school (or at least near one, so you could go to it), then why not? It's pretty rare, but some high school sweethearts do stay together. Good luck!
S

Hmmm, I am going to disagree with S's answer on this one. You shouldn't base your decision on where you are attending school based on your boyfriend. I married my high school sweetheart, and we went to college in different states. Once you get away from home though, you may decide that theres a whole other world out there and you may or may not decide to stay together. If it's meant to be, it will be.

Q: my belly button is infected.. how do i uninfect it?
Alcohol & Neosporin

Q: Heya Im 15 (in 6 days) and female! There is this guy i like him he likes me. But he is popular (captain of the football team) and im not popular his mates cant stand me thus because im not popular. He hasnt told me he fancies me but tells me im pretty and calls me 'bubby' (babe). And he makes it obvious he does. We only smile to each other have talked a few times but he always makes the first move. Are there any good tactics that i can approach him with? How do i fake being confident? Because i get so scared of his friends.No one believes i can get a bf because im not popular but i have faith in myself i just need to put that faith into practice . please reply thanks ever so much xxx .
Just keep in mind that all that popular/unpopular stuff is in everybody's head. As soon as you leave high school, it doesn't matter anymore. If you like him, talk to him like you would anyone else. Acting natural and unintimidated will make you more attractive than any act you could do.

Q: My boyfriend is in rehab and could be there for up to six months, most likely four months and three weeks. I hang out with his friends and write him letters every day (it's been a little over a week) to help miss him less. My question is, is there anything else I can do to miss him less? What are the chances of me cheating on him? (We were going out for one month when he left he's 17 I'm 14) Has anyone been through this same situation? Please help I'll rate.
I think the main problem is that you're dating a 17-year-old who's in rehab. You need to find someone closer to your own age and with fewer problems. I don't think its a good idea to tie yourself down to someone like this - it will only be bad for you.

S

Q: do you believe in soul mates?
Nope.

J

There are a lot of people out there that could be compatible with each one of us. Some of them are rich.

Q: Hi. I met this guy at work. He was really adoreable and hott. So, later on in the week, I'd look up and see him looking at me.
It was like that for weeks, and finally after much advise from my best friend, she convinsed me to ask him to the movies. I did, and he was going away that weekend. He dissapeared for like 2 weeks and we didnt see him at work. I was very depressed, I had gotten very attached to my little curly headed surfer.
Finally he showed back up at work and quit. Me being the stupid person I am, I forgot to get his phone number. ( I was so kicking myself for that later). So my best friend tells me to look it up in the phonebook. I did, and called him. We hung out the next day, and hung out alot ever since then. We've partied together and everything, and he acted like he really liked me.
Finally we made out. Nearly had sex but I stopped myself. We were hanging out another time after that and he told me that he asked a girl out, that he used to go to school with. He had mentioned her before, but just said she was his best friend! I was like WHAT? I was so hurt, but decided I'd let it go. Next thing, was he was moving back to his home-town state and going to college there. Where SHE lived. So (again advise from my friend) I was told if it made me feel better, to write him a letter and let him know how I felt. I did. A LONG LETTER! I didnt give it to him right away, and then I went and hung out at his house again and we made out and did some pretty serious stuff...WHILE he had a girlfriend now. I gave him the letter and I called him two days after and acted weird..of course, I understand, it was a pretty emotional letter. He moved away, and thats been nearly 2 months ago and I'm still now having difficultys getting completely over him. True, we never 'had anything going'. But he came and picked me up everytime we hung out, even when I said I'd drive over there to hang out, and he didnt try kissing me or anything EVERYTIME so he wouldnt just be using me. My friends all say he's a jerk and to forget about him, but I can't! I've thought I've been in love before, but I never knew what "falling in love" meant until I met him. What do I do? I can move on, but I can't forget about him? What do I say to him when I do get in contact with him. WHAT DO I DO?
I need advise, HELP!
Once a cheater, always a cheater. If he cheats on his girlfriend with you, he will cheat on you with someone else. I think you are looking for a serious relationship, he's looking for "booty".

J

I'll just add that I don't think you should worry about what to say when you get in touch with him. Just don't get in touch with him. It's only going to make things worse for you.
S

Q: do you think it is weird that a 17 year old is going out with a 13 year old, even if they love eachother more than anything in the world?
Yes. This is against the law in many states.
J

And in the states where it is legal, it is still creepy.

Q: Okie my name is Samantha and I am 16 years old. This coming up summer my best friend and I are going to California to see my ex boyfriend and she said that if we go that she doesnt know if she will come back and then I said if she dont then I wont. There is more to the story but I will just give to the jist of it. My ex bf moved away almost a year ago and we dated, but broke up last october because of the distance but we are much in love with eachother. And his mother always said that if I ever needed somewhere to stay, then I could live with them. What I am saying is it would be much to hard to leave my ex bc we would have everything that we both would want because otherwise we have to wait a few years to be together. If I can I am going to stay in cali and not come back to wisconsin. I told my mom about it and she really didnt say much. Should I change my whole life for someone im in love with and who is in love with me. We both will do anything for eachother, so moving and living there wouldnt be that hard for me because my life here is a wreck and I want to move to cali and find myself. I may be only 16 but I need to find out what I want to do with my life. What should I do. Stay in cali or come back once I go?
You are only 16 once. Try being a kid. If your boyfriend and you are so in love, you will still have those feelings in another couple of years when you are able to make your own decisions as an adult.

J

You are basing too much of your life on a man. You should decide what's good for you based on you.

Q: several years ago, I was best friends with this girl , we were each others confidant, and could tell anything to each other. The rest of the crowd really didn't matter if we were together. It was after a year of knowing her that I realized that I was absolutely in love with her. I didn't do anything at that point because I was in the middle of applying for school.

It's been a couple of years now, and I'm still in love with her. She went off to college in another state, and our lives have gone off in different directions. Her life has changed (she's popular, beautiful etc. which she wasn't in high school), so i don't talk to her anymore, but I still can't get her out of my mind. I haven't been able to date or even be interested in another girl- because I know that she was the one for me. We both graduate next year, and I'm wondering if I should just lay it all on the line, and offer her my heart. WHat do you think? I rate well. -LloydDobbler-

P.S. This is a really complicated story and if you want to help me beyond this, i'd appreciate it.
You should go for it. You only live once and I wouldn't put it off until I graduated if I were you. You never know if tomorrow will come or not. J

Q: my bestfriend looks at me when she spends the night over at my house in a weird way...like when we are gettin ready to go to bed i catch her lookin at me when im changin i really feel uncomfortable and i want her to stop but i dont know how to bring it up and i dont want to start a huge fight and i still want to be friends but im just not like that....what should i do?
Most likely, your friend is not looking at you because she is interested in you as more than a friend. Probably she is looking more to compare how she looks to how you look. Most people want to feel like they are "normal" in how they look as well as other things. The only way to check is by comparing with other people.

If it makes you really uncomfortable, mention it in a way that makes it seem like its not about her. You could say something like "It makes me feel weird for other people to see me change clothes." That way she won't feel like you're attacking her personally.

Q: Hey! I am trying out for the school play on Tuesday, there is 100+ people trying out (some 6th, 7th and 8th graders, I am in 8th, not that it matters) but I am scared. I had Speech and Drama for 12 weeks with the teacher that is going to be the one judging tryouts, I have performed in some stuff before (our teacher picked our group to perform in front of the school with our scence from the Jungle Book, she picked me to give my speech at Grandparents Day, and I was Lady Macbeth in a play a few years back) but I am still so nervous. Anyone have any advice on trying out, how to make my acting better, things to do or not to do in tryouts, etc? It would be much appreciated, and I rate high!

Thanks!

This sounds really simple, but it helps a lot. Make sure that you stand up straight, hold your head up, and speak really clearly. Don't yell, but use your loudest normal voice.

Break a leg!

Q: all right, I'm sure that i'm not the only one that has this problem. First of all, I'm male and straight. I have friends that are girls, who I become friends with, but then I might want to date later. I like being friends with a girl before I ask them out. I've dated girls before that I haven't really gotten to know before asking them out, and then we might last for a month or two. The girls I become friends with, I really like, but then they may say comments like " I wish I had a boyfriend that was like you." Here I am though? IF I bring it up about us going out, they say we're too good of friends to risk that. They ask me questions about guys and other stuff, but I'm starting to feel like I'm their best gay friend, but I'm not gay. What should I do if this happens again?

P.S. For you smart arses out there- I'm not effeminate either. I have a deep voice, drive a land rover, play football, hockey, and lacrosse, and dress in subdue clothes.

Thanks.
Ok. I'd like to say upfront that I know it's a little lame-ass to answer any question with "When you're older..." but in this case I think it really applies.

A lot of girls go thought a phase where they equate excitement/danger with romance. This is a pretty immature approach and most people grow out of it. When they do, they want what you want: to date someone they can be friends with. So, my advice to you is to try to date older girls and to look for girls your own age who are as mature as you are.

Good luck,
S
