about

Not much to share about me here. I'm just here to help people out if I can. :)

advice

i REALLY tried to make this short but ya... im a girl, im 15, a soph in high school, and i like a guy who's also a soph at my school and i think hes either 15 or 16, basically ive met my perfect guy and i dont know if he likes me

lets say his name’s Ed, Ed is in my 0 period english class, here are some situations that had happened... (1)for some reason he is not the type of guy to follow a girl with his eyes when she stands up and walks across the room, and he didn't do that to me either but now i notice that he does (2)he look at me “secretly” in class (3)whenever im walking with my friend after 0 period to my next class, him and his friend will coincidently be always behind us (4)at games, when im cheering on the sidelines, he will look for me in our cheerlines (5)sometimes when we just get to watch the game (instead of cheering) and he isnt playing yet (hes a football player), I’ll look for him in the group of football players and our eyes will meet and we’ll quickly look away (6)BUT: in english class we do a lot of group work, and my group is usually right next to his, and when we are done and just have some free time, I will go over and talk to random groups and in turn talk to his group and him, but when i will ask the simplest of questions to get a conversation going, he will with a short answer and wont keep goin(as if he is a shy and quiet guy, but he's is SO not quiet around everyone else, guys AND girls) (7)To make things worse: I’m getting REALLY mad that he cant talk 2 me, and im noticing that he now might watch another girl in our english class in “that” way and maybe hes not noticing me and...am I losing him?? what do I do??

From what you are saying, it would seem that he is intersted in you. Now part of the reason why he doesn't talk much might be because he isn't sure or doesn't know where to go from there for the conversation. FOr the most part, from what you are sharing with me he does like you. Why not try to ask him out for a group date? Just to see his reaction to this. I hope it isn't too late for you and hope that helps.

There are so many girls out there that look in the mirror and think they are fat when they are not. However, a lot of the time it is either just fishing for compliments, or thinking they are fat but not caring that much. I am different from those girls. I do think I am fat, and sometimes I try to throw up my food after I eat. I hate it, because everyone always says how skinny I am but it does not change the way I look at myself. No one knows how I feel or understands. When I have a problem with anything such as friends, family, or school, I take it out on my body and how fat I am. When I get upset about something I turn to the mirror and try to throw up, thinking everything will be better if I was thinner. Telling my mom this is not an option. The other day, I went out to lunch with my mom and brother and we somehow got on the topic of bullimia. She said, "If I ever found out, heard, or even thought that you did that, you would be so punished and have something you really love doing taken away." I remember a couple times I asked if I could see a therepist and she just said that it was too much money. I know I have a problem, but I do not know what to do.

Thanks for listening.

By the way, I am 14.

It is very hard to deal with that type of thing of thinking you are fat. I don't know if you have any other hobbies that you could turn your attention to but could give it a try. If you think you need a therapist, is that just to have someone listen? If it is a journal is a pretty good alternative. If you looking for input from others, as in people that aren't friends, then you could try a weblog. One thing about that is jsut to keep things kind of vague about yoruself but the problem I suspect is not something that you are alone in. I have found that I tend to turn to myself when something seems to be going wrong and need something or someone to take it out on. I hope you can find someone you can confide in, in order to get through this for yourself. Let me know how things go for you.

My boyfriend and I have only been official for about a week. We're both seniors but we haven't talked about prom yet (I had a date but it's not going to work out). We'll, he also already had a date lined up and I'm not sure if they're still going together. I know the girl he was/is planning to go with and she hasn't said anything about them not going so I'm not sure. She's not really a friend of mine or anything, I just know her from class but we still talk sometimes.


Well anyway, I was planning on asking him about but I'm not sure what I should say to him if he says that they still have their plans. I don't want to be a bitch and tell him that he has to break the plans because that would be really mean to her. But, you're supposed to go to prom with your boyfriend! What would y'all do?

It's been a week. I have to say, you can't really hold anything against him if he decides to keep those plans. you said this was about you deciding how you feel about him going with someone else. I think you already have you mind made up you just asking if people agree. A relationship grows on trust. If he decides to keep those plans, just see if you could join them after ward, if they are going to do something with a group of people.

I have an ipod mini. It's 3 years old now, so Im wanting to buy a new music player. Overall my mini has been very nice. I've had battery trouble and have never liked that fact. It bothers me and so Im not sure if I should get another apple.
Can anyone tell me other brands of Mp3's and which ones are the best. Which ones are better than apple? Which ones have the best battery life(By hour and by which one will overall last the longest)? Which ones actually work how they say they will?
I want at least a 1,000 song capacity. Thanks.

A good place to start is: http://reviews.cnet.com/Music/2001-6450_7-0.html?tag=cnetfd.dir

I agree on the fact of battery issues. My personal view is that the better ones are the ones that allow you to get to the battery if necessary, or it just doens't charge anymore. I feel that if you go with the apples that one you are paying more for the name than anything else really. It's hard to tell you what people prefer because each person has different expectation, so I hope that site will help you.

So I'm 14/f and one of my friend's friend's cousin added me on msn about 3 months now. I don't talk to him alot and wen I do I find myself in this state: I start to flir with him and it gets to the point where he just keeps telling me how hott I am and stuff and then we don't talk for 5-7 days and between that time I really get out of it. Then wen I talk to him again the same thing happens. BTW...This boy is no prince charming (he's relly not hot or cute) and he's 15. So last night I was flirting with him like major! I mean we were talking bout tongue wrestling and he coming to my house. It's really not love cause it feels more like lust. I really enjoy talking to him and maybe flirting with him isn't the worst idea I ever had...but I really think it might somehow get serious and I spoil my name a reputation and esp. since his cousin is a relly gud friend of mind! Do you think he's using me because I'm pretty and he's not? And what do you think it is...an infatuation or just those once in a blue moon things..n if i like flirting with him (which I do) should I continue or will I give him a bad idea of what I think of him?

It's hard to say what to do exactly. Most people around those ages tend to do that a lot as it is. If he's approached you like that though it's a pretty good sign that he's into you like that, or he jut normally acts that way. Have you known him, or even of him, for a while? It'd be something if his cousin had told him about you and all of that. Everything starts out as an infatuation. But be careful that if you don't mean to make it more than the casual flirting, that he doesn't take it that way. Feeling are bad thing to play games with.

Is 110 pounds for a person who is 5'4" to little or to much

I couldn't tell you for sure but I did find a link to a chart that might help you determine that for yourself. Take a look: http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/body_weight/healthy_weight/chart.htm

i asked this question before but it was very confusing to understand so let me try this again...

1. Ok i have a windows 2000 computer.
2. I got it about a year ago and I have/was able to view GIF images & buddy icons and such.
3. Then about 2 weeks ago it just stopped and I dont know why, I thought that in time it would work again but its not.
4. it stopped working as in if I was to look at a moving buddy icon (or icons from livejournal.com or something) it wouldn't be moving, it would just be the first frame but still.
5. what caused this to happen? is there anyway to fix it? is it not working because i have a windows 2000 computer? please help im so annoyed/confused :[

The best place to look would be in the file associations. Here is where you can find those.

Open any folder. (My Documents, My Computer, Metwork Neighboorhood, just as examples.)

Under the "TOOLS" menu select folder options.

You should be able to find a tab that is "FILE TYPES"

Now scroll through that list to see if you can find the GIF extension, the left most column is where you are looking and it's in alphabetical order.

Once you know if listed or not, we can help a bit more.

If it is not listed, then you have to click on the "NEW" button. Type in the extension then click "OK".

Now it should be listed and you can make sure it opens with the correct program by selecting that extension and clicking on "CHANGE"

That will produce a list of programs available to open those file types.

I'm not sure if it would be available but, on my computer it's Microsoft Photo Editor for the program.

Once you find the right one to use on your computer you will be able to see those GIFs the correct way.

Well if asked question on here about love before.

I was in love with this guy for like year and a half i started getting over him 3 months ago well i am now falling hard for this guy at my church. I was going to talk to one of the girls online that are from church see if she could help me out alittle bit. Well 2 min before i was about to talk to her i found he has a girlfriend. I dont love him but all i want to do is cry now it just doesnt seem fair. Nothing ever works the way i want something to work. especially when it comes to love. I serious just want to give up on love it self. It took all my strength to start liking another guy and as soon i let my self go i get hurt.

I really dont know what to do. I dont want to hear move on and wait he'll come around thats a crap answer i get it everytime and it doesnt work. Thanks.

This is a bit difficult to answer. I'd like to ask how long have you known this guy from church for? The way your wrote it up here, it seems like you might have just met him not so long ago. No one is saying that you have to choose how you feel that way for, you really can't do that. As for being hurt, that's something that only you know about. It's hard at any time feeling a way for someone and then finding that there is something in the way. Had you felt this way about him even before all of this and it just grew into a crush? Is it someone that you looked to after you were getting over your ex? Sometimes good people are that are good to talk to are the easiest to get along with and start having feelings for them. It takes us all different amounts of time to get over things. I am not saying to get over it, but you just have to deal with reality. That is, he is with someone else, it's up to you to continue allowing yourself to feel this way toward him or to take an active roll to help yourself change. Maybe go out with other friends as well, get your mind off of him. As for him coming around, if we are going to be realistic, he just might not. It is up to you on how you want to deal with all of this. I can only tell you that from my own experience sticking around and waiting getting to being a bit hurtfull, possibly more than what it needs to be in the first place.

hi this goes along with the other problem i had and every time i see him around other girls hes either quiet or liek every time he sees my friends he always hey magz or who ever wht do u think?

I think with that being said, he is showing a bit of interest in you. Maybe it's be a good thing to try to make a plan to hang out with him. I don't know if you could, but I'd give it a try if I were you.

I have a Nokia 6225 and I'm getting a new phone really soon. I want to buy a data cable to put all my pictures onto my computer so I don't lose them, but do I have to have the software CD also, or can I just use the cable?

It would make it easier if you had the software to make the transfer. I looked at the Nokia site and it seems like it's a free download. I have actually copied the site for you here: http://www.nokiausa.com/support/phones/software/1,3048,6225,00.html

so my boyfriend told me that he has fingered a girl before. he is 2 years older than me. I don't wanna sound retareded in front of him, so i don't wanna ask him, and that's why i am asking here, what does it mean to finger someone? i will rate 5's for good answers

In plain english, it means that he would use his finger to get you excited by putting it in your vagina.

PLEASE HELP!! =-(

Sincerly,
[ Sara ]

You have to know something before you can read too much into how he started talking to you. Is that how does he normally act with other girls. I mean is this something he does with everyone or would it be a special thing. I'm not sure you weould even be able to find that out, but in order to know if he's into you, as you are with him, you'll have to get to know that much.

I've been really good friends with this kid...Andy...for 5 years. We started having feelings for each other, and during the summer 2 years ago, we started dating. But at the end of the summer, I found out that we were moving, and so I moved to Ohio and he stayed in Michigan. We have really strong feelings for each other...we can't stop thinking about each other and we talk at least once a week on the phone. Whenenver I visit Michigan, we always hook up but of course, it can never last since I live out of state. Last year, he tried dating other people, but it never really worked cause I was the one he wanted. I also tried dating other people, and again, it wasn't the same. Our feelings for each other were just too strong. Lately, I've grown an interest in two guys...and I want to try dating them, but I don't want to hurt Andy. I could start dating other people...but the thing is--and i know how selfish this sounds--that would give Andy permission to date, and i don't want Andy to date other girls because there's a chance that he could feel just as strongly for them as he feels for me.

Things are so complicated--yet they could be so easy--but I'm not willing to let myself lose him. I could just stay with him...but what if we have to keep our relationshiop the way it is now? On the phone and on my few trips to Michigan?

Or if I do date, I could lose him to another girl.

I just love him too much to let him go.

Please help.

First question here is about your love. Is it that you love him or are in love with him? There is a differnce there and should think about it a little bit. You can't have it both ways. To be honest, if you are ready to move on to other guys, then you have to let him go and see if he's willing to stay and wait. You can't blame him for anything if he doens't though because he will feel hurt by what you are doing. If you feel that this, with Andy, isn't working right now then you have to let him know right away, anything else would just be, in a sense, playing with him. If you do want to keep him, then you have to put your felings for others aside. Neither situation is ideal, I do know that. You have to figure out what it is that you want with him and the other guys.

ok a month ago i broke up with my boyfriend, and so he was really sad, but i wanted to move on with my life.
So then just a couple of days ago i asked him," hey are you pissed at me or mad or something?
and so he's all like " y" and im like " because after we broke up you said we could be friends, and now you not talking to me at all and your friends are still acting like jerks to me" so then he's like " we'll since you dumped me why should i talk to you and do you like calling my friends jerks"

ok His friends are complete jerks to me..and i never meant to hurt him badly, i still want to be friends, he is just not talking it.

When someone is hurt, doens't matter if you want to have something like that work out or not, it might not because of what you once had with him. As for the friends, they have their own mind so that you can't really do much about. I would say that if he told you, you could be friends, it was because he was just trying to be nice. If you were ready to move on with your life, then i'd say let him go and if he decides he can handle talking to you and just being a friend he will let you know.

Well.. my mum and I had an argument yesterday. What happened is I have a radio show and on air the girl I do it with asked me if my school has uniforms and how long I've been there. I saw nothing wrong with that, but my mum said it was personal and at the end came and shouted at the girl for asking me personal things on air. I was really embarassed and apologized to my friend for what my mum did. This is the second time this has happened. another time I had a friend in the car and my mum started yelling at me in front of her. She told me she'd never embarass me like that again, but then she did it yesterday. So I told her I was ashamed of her. I didn't really mean it as I was mad, but she hasn't spoken to me since and she was crying this morning.

I've tried apologizing, but she says she knows I meant it. Thing is I was really mad about what she did to my friend, especially since it wasn't even a big deal. Am I in the wrong here? I don't know what I can do.

In no way are you wrong for being that way. In anger, we say a lot that we don't mean. But in truth, that is the true feeling of the time. I know you feel bad about telling her that, but if you hadn't, she probably would have done it again. She realizes now how much it bothers you so she'll be thinking a bit more if or when she thinks of it again.

is 16 years old too old for a 14 year old?
because i don't think its a problem and it never ever seemed like a problem until one of my friends brought it up. hes totally cool with it. and he doesn't like force me to do anything. its nice. but is he really too old?

Society as a whole makes you believe and think a certain way with things. All in all, I would tell you that age is just a number. That is something that as you get older becomes more true and more accepted in society. If you are okay with it and he is as well, why do you listen to your friends? They are seeing it the way I explained above. It only matters truly that you are comfortable being with him.

i like this guy, we used to talk a lot. then after a while it changed into only talking after school. now we never talk. he seems kind shy around me. does he like me or just doesnt like me even as a friend. please help

Him becoming more shy around you, shouldn't be taken as him not liking you even as a friend. It could of been that he was trying to show you he felt something with you and you weren't getting a clue so he gave up on it all. I can't say for sure, but maybe there was a change in his life that he had to re evaluate his relationships and he felt that he couldn't open that part up to you and then it just went on from there. If you felt something there with him before, did you give him any clues? Did you act on it, or tell him? Or was this always just a friendship? Those are things that can make a difference as to how a person may change the way they act.

recently, ive been cutting. i cut because i have so much emotional pain, it relieves me when i cut. it makes me forget all about my emotional pain because i focus on the physical pain. well, just this morning, i found myself thinking of suicide. this afternoon during health class too. We were talking about cutting in health class today and i just wanted to die. i was so uncomfortable. only 2 people knew about me cutting in my health class besides me but i still wanted to die. I dont have a boyfriend. I dont think im pretty enough to. My life is fucked up. no one cares about me. my parents are never home and when they are, they just yell at me. They always fight too. But the thing is, i wouldnt trade my life for anybody elses. its the way that i know life. I wouldnt trade it. and im serious. I wore a belly shirt to school a few days ago. Bad choice. some people saw my cut i made on my stomach and they said stuff to me. No one understands me. They think that i have the ideal life and they even tell me that. i dont. every one thinks i am perfect (or have to be) becuase my dad is a pastor of a small hick church... which i hate. I dont believe that shit. w/e. i wanted to stop cutting until today. i did it again today. its just a bad habit. any suggestions? anything anyone wants to say to me?? yes i have contemplated suicide. several times.

First thing, it's good to hear you say that you want to stop doing that. I don't know how old you are, and that sometimes has somethign to do with what you are going though, but to have things fucked up as you put it isn't good. YOu do realize that point of view though is yours, it's how you see it. As you said, others are cleara that they don't see your life the same way. I understand the feeling of releaving the emotional pain with physical. You have to find another outlet for relieving that pain you feel. Have you tried using a journal? Sometimes just writing things out and getting them out of your head helps. Are you into music? Do you play any instruments or write music? Why not put that emotion into something like that? IF you are an art person, you could put something together in that aspect to reflect what you have inside. Along with the thought of writing, even if it's not just writing why not poems? They have no rules and you can let it all out that way. Usually that's what I end up doing. I can tell from what you have written that you don't have very high self esteem. If you are home alone often, why not see if you can have people over or go out somewhere. The more you keep youself isolated, the more these thoughts weill continue if you can't use one of those methods I mentioned earlier in this answer. I hope you understand and follow through with your decision to stop.
