About mylinhthan



[x][edit] - Since being on Advicenators there have been a lot of repetitive questions and innane ones at that. Because of this, I will not be answering as many questions as I had before. To put it simply, some people need to think for themselves. To learn things in life we have to fall down from our hardships, learn from them, and get to our feet again. People aren't just going to spoonfeed you on how to live your life.

To conclude, I'm a level-minded columnist who's not likely to judge. Although I may not understand some situations due to lack of experience, I am an understanding person and will do all I can to help. To people who are "not the brightest crayon in the box", I may appear blunt and brutally honest. Stupid questions deserve stupid answers.

And yes, stupid questions DO exist.

female/13
There is this guy i like. lets call him k. but like 5 other girls do too. But this might sound like something everyone would say, but i've liked k the longest. one of my friends, lets call her r, who also likes k started liking him after me and when k found out we both liked him, he told my other friend, s, he liked both of us back. now that was a while ago. then r, went out with someone totally different, we'll call him a. but then a broke up with r like 2 weeks later and r started liking k again. now all this time, i've liked k. NOW, my other friend, L, likes k also!!! but i've talked to both of them and my friend r says that even though she likes k, she knows how much i do and that i could have him. i guess. then L told me that she knows how long i've liked k and that she knows how it feels to not get the one that you want and to watch someone else have him. (thats a different story). but then if i get k, i'll feel really bad for all the others who like him, even though i've been waiting forever to have him, even before i knew anyone else liked him. please help. i dont know what to do.

It doesn't matter if you knew him the longest, all of the other girls have an equal chance of getting him regardless.

The thing that I hate about these type of questions is that you girls always think or ask us "How do I make the guy notice me, like me, or ask me out?" It's his decision as much as it is yours for liking him. If he likes you, he'll act upon his instincts and ask you out. If not, tough luck.

Man, I feel stupid asking questions on this thing, but anyway...kind of a two-part question here.

First, I had a pretty big crush on a guy friend of mine...but I found out that he was dating someone else. I was kinda sad about it, but I was okay with it -- UNTIL the weekend later where he was flirting with me like crazy, and I know it was because his girlfriend wasn't there. I don't think the guy knows it, but it really hurt me, especially cause I'd just found out about his GF...and, well, even though it was a month ago, I'm still pretty ticked. Should I talk about it or should I just let it go?

Second, it's stupid, but I've never had a boyfriend and I'm starting to feel really bad about it, especially because all my friends seem to be hooking up -- I don't really want to date right now, but I wouldn't mind just finding a couple of guys I can flirt with and hang out with just so I can feel a little better about myself. (This, along with all the stuff above about the jerk-guy, has left me feeling like the Dateless Monster from Hell.) Any ideas?

anonymous -

1. Let it go. It was in the past, move on.

2. Don't feel isolated because you don't have a boyfriend. I was in the same position once where all of my other friends hooked up with a new guy every few months where I remained single the entire time. Even though now I am in a committed relationship, those friends still can't hold on to the same guy for longer than two months. So I point, and I laugh. Ha.

Your time will come, just be patient.

In my opinion, living the single life is a hell of a lot funner than being involved in a relationship. Sure it feels nice to have the status and have someone there for you to be intimate with, but going to a club and mingling without having to worry about making a guy jealous is not too bad too.

Ideas? Go out to a club. Hold a party. Plan a getogether. The options are endless.

Hey, I have been trying to lose weight for idk how long now and it hasnt worked. I've been playing lacrosse to, so its not like i dont have any exercise.. but it sucks because I've lost weight before, and i want to lose it again to look good this summer when i go back to california to visit friends and family. I always tell myself, 'okay today im going to not eat fatty foods and work 29835 times harder in practice and run when i get home' but i never pull through with it. I need some will power or something that will help me actually LOSE THE WEIGHT, because i hate feeling like im FAT. I want to wear a size 3 in pants again, i wear a 5 and sometimes a 7 depends on the pants, and i want to look good in a bikini.. can someone please help me to get some will power to actually go through with losing weight and what should i eat? sorry it's sooooo long..

anonymous -

Hey girl, I'm going through the same thing as you right now. I wear a moderately baggy size 5, a fitting 4 and a snug 3 but I want to lose the extra flub also.

If you'd like, we can buddy up and motivate each other. My aim sn is oomilkbubbleoo and my email is mylinhthan@hotmail.com.

As for some pointers, the only thing that is guaranteed to work is to eat right and exercise. If it's the eating habits you're having trouble with, stock your fridge with low fat or fat free substitutes. Another way I heard to increase your metabolism is to eat frequently, like every 4 hours have a small meal or a light snack. Green tea also boosts metabolism.

As far as exercise goes, do a lot of cardio (get your heart rate up) because that's what burns off the calories and the fat. If you want tone also, do toning exercises with light dumbells after you do your cardio and continue in a circut style training. Try to do this three times a week and work your way up. I started at two times a week with two hour sessions and I lost a good six pounds. But now since I just started working and am in school, it's a little hard to manage my time.

If you'd like to know more, email me or drop a note in my inbox. Good luck!

ok..i need to save up about 350 dollars... i am old enought to babysit..but the problem with that is that i dont know anyone that i could babysit for...i am not old enought to get a real job like at a store or something...so does anyone have any siggestions on how to earn money??? thanks! i'll rate high for good answers!!

anonymous -

Every considered pet sitting?

You could also offer to mow lawns for neighbors or run errands for your more elderly residents. You can also ask your parents to start giving you an allowance of 5 dollars per week (which is pretty flexible and reasonable) if you keep your word on keeping your room clean, doing chores, etc.

You can also hold a garage sale and sell some of your stuff. That or even a bake sale on the neighborhood block would work.

Hey thanks so much for ur advice befor. Im haveing a couple of doubts though what if he Thinks hmm if she doesnt like me I wont like her and I will loose him! I dont know what to do hes in my 2 period Gym and I see him in the halls I alwaz get mebrassed when Im around him but sometimes I can talk. We send each other alot of texts ans sometimes talk on the phone.Its just the girl he likes Is ALL his type she emo and shes pretty shes flawless and has a new bf everyweek!and Im a preppy chick. I changed mysef to get him once and then he cheated on me with a older girl and it broke my heart how he didnt even care!!well IM SOOO CONFUSHED and I want him to like me WHAT SHOULD I DO????
Yours Truly,
**confused**

confused -

First mistake - changing who you are for a guy. NEVER change yourself to get a boyfriend. If he's decent, he will like you for you, not who you're pretending to be.

Second mistake - you still liking him after he's cheated on you. This should be a big newsflash for you. He didn't like you before you changed, he didn't like you when you changed, what makes you think he'll like you if you keep trying?

In conclusion, the guy's a jackass.

Move on and find a decent guy who will treat you right.

my best friend 15 and her ex 15 me 14 and his best friend 15 please help i really need advice!!!!


ok my best friend and her bf broke up really harsh her parents didnt want them together so her parents warned her to stay away with him and they set me and his friend up on a date and we were at the date and her mom found notes from her bf saying how we were all goingto meet at the movies. and came and caught us.so then her parents found out all this stuff about them having sex and her sneeking out to see him and her and her bf. so the skool said they couldnt be together snce they got in a big fight about her parents finding out and they talked about how much they hated eachother and before she would yell at him about stuff and he would still try to get together but recently his new gf after 2 weeks broke up. welll recently my best friend came ovr and we talked about him and she told me how much she missed him and having him close to her. then she turned on "im lost without you" but blink 182 and started rying because that was there song. and i felt soooo bad for her. i really want them to get back together because they were perfect for eachother. until his friends came in saying shit and they smoke pot and her bf got into it and thats when the problems started. but he stoped for her but she didnt go back to him ehich i felt really bad about. and i asked her my she would yell at him all the time if she still loved him and she said she'd rather yell at him then cry in front of him . and we started crying the whole night she came ovr at 6 and she left at 11pm and thats what we talked about all night.

well my best friend wants to tell him how she feels and that shes srry . if you were him would u still be mad at her. because he told me he wants her to at least apoligize. she at least wants to be friends with him and maybe later they can go bac to the way they were. (since they has to break up a 11 month relasionship so quickly) and she was in love with him and it was the last person they each loved. please help!!!

anonymous -

Keep in mind the statement that I'm going to make isn't regarding your friend, but her behavior.

She's a fucking idiot.

I mean, who the hell yells at a guy and then cries in front of him to gain sympathy??? For shame.

If I were a guy, hell yes I would still be mad at her. My advice to you, stay out of it. This situation involves them, and by you getting squished in the middle just makes things worse because you're going to end up choosing sides sooner or later.

My advice to her, if she really wants him back and actually loves him, she's got to make it up to him. Find a creative way to say you're sorry like write a poem, a love note, sing to him, make him a cupcake saying I'm sorry, etc. But what's most important is she has to prove it to him that she's changed so that he can trust her again. If he doesn't immediately take her back, it doesn't mean she has to stop trying. To show him that you really love him, you have to be persistent, and prove to him that he's the one that makes you happy.

Good luck to her.

my crush doesnt like me anymore and i loved him now that i found out im hurtin so bad. i feel like my world has ended. i wanna cheer up help! f/13

anonymous -

It's nearly impossible to "love" someone whom you were never even involved with from the start.

Wanna feel better? Scope out other guys and develop a new crush. If a guy doesn't like you for who you are, then he's not worth it.

This might be a little long since I'm giveing you background info.

Ok, This girl named Dee (fake name) needed a friend at the time. I decided to take that role in her life. Every day there would be something new, example: "I hate my life", "Nobody likes me", "My stepmom did ______________ and made me __________". And it never ends!

So one day I decide to break the fake friendship tie that I had set up. And I went through with it. The thing is that she keeps coming back. She tries to be nice to me, says a perky "Hi!" everyday. The reason she does that is because she thinks she can fix it, but its way to late for that.

My question is: What can I do so that I have no kind of contact with her?

anonymous -

Since she already has issues of her own, you're going to have to do away with her nicely, as hard as that is.

It really depends if you still want a friendship out of this or not. Assuming your not, just straight up tell her that you're not her psychiatrist, and you were sick of hearing her whine and complain all the time. Tell her that the world doesn't revolve around her, and she needs to take into consideration other people if she wants a real friendship. Otherwise, you're staying away from her lame emo-ness.

I know this has been asked 100 times before but I need some help. After school I am always hungry (I have lunch at 10:30). And of course I always reach for something unhealthy and not very filling. So my question is what is a low-calorie yet filling snack? I am not as active as I should be so I don't use many calories. So what is something that I could burn off easily?

anonymous -

-tuna and crackers
-yogurt
-fruit and yogurt parfait
-homemade smoothie
-a healthy sandwich
-baked potato
-salad with chicken breast
-assorted fruit
-anything packed with fiber

Hope this helps.

Keep track of your eating habits and exercise routines on an online journal like xanga. There are also a lot of weight loss blogrings to offer support, and there are a rare few that offer weight loss competitions which will motivate you to beat the other contestants.

is there anyway u can naturally make ur breast bigger with out stuffin a bra?


i rate high

Do butterfly curls with dumbells.

They don't really make your boobs bigger, but they tone the muscle underneath it, which gives it a slightly larger, perkier appearance.

i want to get colored contacts, but i don't need glasses. I want regular ones, not ones for costumers/parties etc. I went to acuvue 2 colors and they have some where the prescription is "0.00 (plano)".. does that mean no prescription? and where can i find non-prescription colored contacts? thanks.

anonymous -

I believe that 0.00 prescription is just for regular people with 20/20 vision. Ask your optometrist for more information.

random question, but if you marry your highschool sweetheart right after senior year and before college, is that a bad thing? like will that cause problems with being married and going to school at the same time?

and basically is it bad to just get married at that age in general? is it hard to handle money, buying homes, etc?

because I really want to ask my beautiful girlfriend that I've known my whole love to marry me, but I don't want it to cause problems.

anonymous -

You can still ask her to marry you, just remain engaged until you are financially stable to pull off a wedding and live together.

Get tested at Planned Parenthood.

If she didn't have HIV, you couldn't have contracted it.
