advice

I really like this girl but am to afrain to ask her out or talk to her from fear of rejection. I really like her and want a relationship but i dunno what to do. Any advice?

Let's analyze the situation:

You're not going out with her. & haven't asked her out.

You COULD ask her out & what's the worst thing she could do? Say no. Which would only leave you in the same situation if you hadn't asked her.

Bascially, you can only move up in your situation. So ask her out & get over the fear of rejection. You can't be afraid of it forever; you'll have to face it sooner or later.

Have have think brown hair, and when i straighten it and go outside ((anywhere even if it is low humidity)) it frizzes up and goes curly. Is there something i can use so it doesn't get this way?

Apply S-Fact Dream Drop after straightening your hair. It's about $30-$35, but definitely worth it.

If that's too pricey, try using any Matrix sleek frizz-free products before you blowdry/airdry your hair. Using both of the above products actually works wonders.

Make sure your hair is completely dry before straightening & try using a medium heat setting so you don't fry or dry out your hair.

Ok, so i moved from California to Ohio this summer, mid July, and i didnt really meet anyone during the summer because there wernt really any oppotunities. So i thought ok i will make friends when school starts, well i started wednesday. No one has even attempted to talk to me there, not even say hi. So when lunch comes around i sit at an empty table and eat by myself. I feel like such a loner. At my old school i had soooo many friends. What am i doing wrong? People tell be just be friendly, well of course im friendly but whenever i try to talk to people i feel out of place, like they are thinking, "Who is this weird new girl?" Im tired of not having anyone to talk to or hang out with, Ive cried all my tears and I just want to know, Is Something Wrong With Me!? Thanks for reading.

Nothings wrong with you. I had to do that for a week or so when I moved to a new school. Some people are just wayy too "shy" to approach others. You can't always expect people to come to you, so instead of sitting there.. try talking to someone in one of your classes & see if you can sit with them. It sounds a little random, but no one is going to say no to having a new friend. & if they do, then you're too good to be friends with them anyway. That's the only way I made it through my first year at a new school [before meeting others the next year] - & that was by randomly striking up a conversation with someone who looked nice enough. Once you meet one or two people, it's usually easy to meet a lot more new faces through them. :) Good luck & don't ever think there's something wrong with you. It's tough, I know.

Why are guys so embarassed to admit their virgins in like, highschool?

Makes them seem unwanted & inexperienced. They want to be in control & want to be THE man. I don't know how other way to put it without it sounding lame. Like someone said, "macho-ness" sums it up.

Ok i have this problem! I have two guys that both like me and wanna date me. Well one is 24 and the other one is 16. I started dating the 24 year old and the other guy decided to tell me that he wanted to date me and then he kissed me!!! Now the 24 yr old is telling me i have to decided which guy i want!!! How do i decide?!?!

You don't have to. Go out with both of them.

.... is what I would say if I was.. um, kidding. Go out with whoever you're more attracted to. You're the only one can decide who's best for you.

hey! i'm 16 and of course, a female. i know that you probably think that this is lame that i'm asking a complete stranger for help over the internet. i guess you could say that i'm rather desperate for help. (sad, i know!) But what's going to make you laugh your butt off will definitley be my "problem". it may not seem like a big deal too you, but to me, it's a HUGE deal! Ok, there's this guy like i've liked for ever! (i'm talking ever since 3rd grade - i'm in 11th grade now!). He lives right down the street from me and he occassionaly stops over to visit me or I run into him on the streets. Well, he's gorgeous & i was talking to a few of my neighbors that are my age, and they were telling me about how he does the same thing to them that he's doing to me (stopping by, visiting, etc.) 0k, not a big deal! But when one of the girls i was talking to said that she and him were about too hook up a couple times (by that i mean dating), it completley tore me to pieces. I've liked him for so long, and hearing another girl (who by the way, i'm wayyyyyy cuter than!) saying that she was about to date him, was way to much for me to handle at the time. So, do you have any ideas for what i should do? He knows I like him (thanks to my best friend) but, i don't know where to go from there. Any advice? Thanks so much, i know this sounded ridiculous, but like i said, i'm really confused & somewhat hurt by the situation! :)

I'll make it simple - just tell him straight up you like him & want to date him. And see what he says. If he wants to as well, then cool. If he doesn't, what have you lost? Absolutely nothing. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that. :)

Okay I have this chick who for the past few months has become obsessed with me. She keeps posting things on her website about me and I don't even talk to her or know her really. I used to be friends with her but we were not the best of friends, How do I get her to leave me alone and quit talking about me or even posting things about me?

Hahaha, some bitches are just crazy. Let her talk behind your back. It only proves you are two steps ahead of her. & don't even bother giving her the attention. That's all she wants - so be the better person & just ignore it.

Are there any other people to go see about possibly having depression besides a family doctor? There is a psycologist at my university and I thought maybe she could help but I don't really know if she could diagnose me as possibly having it or able to help? I'm really embaressed to talk to anyone about this so I want it to be private and I don't know who to go to.

Your best bet is to see a psychatrist. A psychologist may be able to help diagnose, but a psychatrist is someone who is more certified for discussing issues. Atleast you'll know your sessions are completely confedential. & they'd know more about how to treat it & could prescribe you any anti-depressants if they were needed. I couldn't tell you how to find a psychatrist to go to - I'm guessing I'd look in your area, phone book, or online.

okay.. im going out with this guy.
he lived in ohio and i live in colorado.
i have never met him
we met on myspace
im 13 and hes 14..
how long do you think we will last?
honestly?

Um, next time Dateline To Catch an Internet Predator comes on - watch it. Vulnerable teenagers like you are the reason that show has like three series.

Don't get involved with people over the internet that you've never met. That is probably the lamest thing I have ever heard; it won't last. Honestly.

I want to edit my pictures to make them more interesting. I am more into photography.

But what I am wondering is what kind of program can I install onto my computer FOR FREE! to make my pictures look something similar to this:

http://i7.tinypic.com/2556whs.jpg

Making the whole picture black and white but making a certain thing color.

Please help and thanks.

Well, I use Adobe Photoshop CS2, but I got the program close to $1000. I'm sure the price has dropped a lot since then though. Corel Photopaint is good too, but I'm not sure how much I got that for. I'm guessing it's about the same price. I'm sure you can find a free 30-day trail for either online. I did that before I bought it. Try searching on download.com or another site that has free trial downloads. If you want to actually buy the software, go to Best Buy or any computer software store & look for something a lot cheaper.

How do you know if you suffer from Depression?

Got these symptoms straight off of webmd.com:

- Sadness or hopelessness.
- Loss of interest in or pleasure from most daily activities.
- Losing or gaining weight because of changes in appetite.
- Sleeping too much or not enough.
- Feeling restless and unable to sit still, or feeling that moving takes a great effort.
- Feeling tired all the time.
- Feeling unworthy or guilty without an obvious reason.
- Having problems concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
- Thinking often about death or suicide.

The only way you can really be diagnosed is by seeing your doctor.

I used to be a huge tom-boy, like all I wore was boy clothes and almost NEVER girl clothes. But now, I want to change. But, I have one problem, I have huge love hanldes. I need some exercises to help make them smaller, and maybe some foods to stay away from. I'm willing to do anything, EXCEPT for liposuction. So, PLEASE don't suggest ANYTHING like that. Thanks.

Okay, well start off by quit drinking soda. I know I put on extra weight around my wasit jsut by drinking a couple a day. [I know people who have lost 5-10 lbs after a week or two.] Drink plenty of water to clean out your body from chemicals. Try not to stress out too much because I know a lot can cause you to put on weight. Get plenty of rest. To speed up your metabolism - always eat breakfast & try having 4-5 small meals a day as oppose to 3 big ones. Try doing 30 minutes of cardio a day, 4-5 days a week. Ex: Jogging, swimming, any kind of sport, & even something as lame as jump roping; basically anything that gets your heart beating. Of course, watch what you eat - limit your carbs, but don't cut them out! Your body needs them to function. Obviously you'll need to stay away from junk food or atleast cut back dramatically on it. Anddddd.. that's about it. :)

its almost been a week ive been sad. and he still ignores me. i found out another reason... he thinks i like another guy, and he thinks i flirt wit' him... and its pretty much natural rightt? you flirt when you dont' know that you are... but he should've told me to change, or told me, or asked me if it was true. Instead of saying "its over." and leaving me there.. thenn some of my bestfriends is on his side, and im like "we have sides now?" and hes still ignoring me.. he looks at me.. but he doesnt takl to me, im trying to straighten things out wit him.. but he wont listen to me. its nearly impossible to get his attention. if i told my friend to tell him he'll say "so?" in a mean way. if anyone wanna know what else happened.. aim me.. i need ALOT of advice. As for it.
he seems happier than i am right now. my life is messed up at the moment, idk what to do.. im sad, im stressed out.. i cried yesterday.. i felt like crying today..
the things i wonder; if hes sad too..
if he regrets it.. [but hes hiding it.. not sure]
if he still likes me.
lemme guess you must be wondering.. "why do you even give a shit about him ?!" maybe because i still like him.. and wondering if he feels the same. i want him back at the moment. its like nothing .. or nobody can cheer me up or get my mind off of him.. HELPP ?! ADVICE.. ?!

Don't feel like you're the only one who understands your situation. I do. I know what it's like for someone from the outside to easily say "get over him! he's not worth it!" But to you, it's not the easy; there's too much to hold onto. The only way you'll get your answers is by talking to him. I know he's ignoring you now, but give it some time before you attempt to talk to him again. If he continues to be a jerk & ignore you after you allow some time for things to cool down, then you really do need to move on. If he doesn't care about your feelings, why should you care about his? The truth is, you're 13. Guys your age just shouldn't be worth it. You have plenty of time & other opportunities to meet other guys in the future. Don't stress about someone who you aren't serious with & won't matter next year. Don't ever give respect to those who don't respect you. Cheer up, girl. Go out with some friends, eat a huge ass bucket of icecream, & listen to music. Do the things that make you happy & just try to keep your mind off of him until enough time has passed. Good luck & keep smiling! :)

My boyfriend and I went to a different school for a while then I transfered to that school to be with him. When I got there I found out he had been hugging this girl everyday. When we had senior walk day he hugged so many girls, I was really jealous of the fact we said we wouldn't hug other people and I stuck to my word and he said what was he suppost to do? Just say no? Which is exacly what I did. And last night I hung out with my girls for the first time in over 10 months and he has hung out with his friends 3 times or so in the 10 months and last night when I called him he was kind of an ass. Then I find out he went to the ER last night and didn't even tell me about it until today. I was kind of mad, I mean I would call him or have someone call him. What do you think?

Well, I know how it feels to be jealous when your boyfriend hugs tons of girls. I used to go out with someone who did that & it got kind of annoying because the girls he was hugging all liked him. In my opinion, the hugging situation shouldn't get to you too easily. Yes, it's natural to feel uncomfortable, but if it's simply a hug.. then just let it go. About the ER situation - I wouldn't look too much into that either. He probably just got sidetracked; it's not like one night is a long time for him to wait & tell you. If he's being an ass, let him know. But like I said - you can't really look into every action of his. I'm not exactly sure what you're needing advice on. But if anything bothers you, you bring it up with him & talk to him yourself. Don't ever have someone call or speak to him for you. You're the two having the relationship. Hope that helped! If not.. leave something more specific in my inbox & maybe I'll be able to answer your question better.

Hey Hannah, So my boyfriend and i have been going out for a few months now and everytime we fool around its hard for him to cum. It takes him about 30-45 min to finish. And it's always him who has to finish too. I always ask him how do you want it and tease him a little but its always him who ends up masturbating and having to cum. Do you know anything that i can do to help him cum faster?

Heyy, well i can't really give you any specific tips since i don't know what exactly you're doing already. But for anything - change speeds from fast to slow. I know most guys like it when a girl takes control, so catch him off guard & try something when he least expects. He'll be turned on faster & I know that works, haha. Try teasing him like you said & find out exactly what he likes. Sorry I'm probably not too much help!

OK, I have been all over the net looking for my tattoo & can't seem to find anything I like! Would anyone out there happen to have a picture of a scorpion with a rose. It is for the scorpio symbol & I would like it to be more pretty, not ugly or scary looking. I hope I explained myself good enough. I didn't know how else to say it. Thanks!

When you go to the tattoo artist, just tell him what you want & he/she can usually give you a sketch within 5-10 minutes. You can make any changes from there until they draw something you like.

i don't want to have to change my tampon during school, but i'm afraid of getting TSS. if i left it in all day i would have it in from 6:30-3. that is like 8 1/2 hours. i know that your not suppose to wear it for more than 8 hours, but what are my chances of actually getting TSS if i do this? thanks :]

The chance is rare, but still possible. Just change it at lunch or whenever you aren't rushed. It's not a big deal - you're gonna have to change it eventually.

I am getting my hair cut and styled at a salon next week. I also want to dye my hair from a home kit.

Should I dye my hair, and then a few days later go to the salon for the cut, or should I go to the salon for the cut, and a few days later dye it at home?

Which is best, and what risks would I run if I don't do this properly - if any?

You'll have to dye your hair first before getting it cut..IF you're getting your hair dyed the same day as the cut. If not, the order doesn't matter.

I have volleyball try-outs in roughly a week, and I would appreciate any advice on how to do well at them. What should I eat, what should I do beforehand, when should I sleep, and any advice fromother volleyballplayers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Definitely stick with protein & carbs because that's where you're going to get your energy from. Stretch for 15 minutes & drink plenty of water & Gatorade. Don't drink TOO much though - it is possible. & sadly, you will end up throwing up if you overdo it. I believe that was my mistake, haha. Oh yes, get atleast 7-8 hours of sleep.

If yoou aint in that many of ya good friends' classes in high school does that mean you wont be friends?

No... I think ALL my friends I had through high school were never in my classes. There's always lunch, in between classes, after school, & weekends.
