I have asked one of the q's but see the prob is as some of you kno there is this guy who likes me but I dont kno If i like him or no
he is nice but sorta ugly and sorta cute. (link)
first, you shouldn't go out with someone if you don't know for sure if you like him or not.

if you just go out with him when you're not sure, then you might end up not liking him, and then you'll have to brake up with him anyway.

so just go out with him once you decide if you like him or not for sure.

but it shouldnt even matter if he's ugly or not. what you should care about most is how nice and funny he is and that kinda stuff.

because someone ugly but nice is better than someone hotttt but really mean.

so ya, just stay friends with him until you know for sure if you like him or not.

.:good luck:.


I'm 13/m in jr high and I was wondering, how old is an appropriate age for sex? I've heard of people my age that have had sex, but I don't think 13 is an appropriate age, so..... how old should you be to have sex? (link)
15 or 16 is the general age to have sex but there is never any pressure or time limit, and dont have sex with any1 that you dont feel comfortable with. make sure you are READY before you do anything silly. plus always use protection! hope i helped luv x please rate me xxx

Okay me and my boyfriend were together for about three years, he is 20 and im 18. We were friends for two years before we dated anyways. we broke up because we had respect issues and didnt agree on certain things in the future. he tried getting me back many times...but about three weeks ago he finally gave up. a week ago i saw he had made a myspace...and is now talking to so many girls and gettin their numbers and meeting them up. its really heartbreaking for me because we've only been broken up for about three months max and hes already moved on and talking to all these girls...and im constantly sad now.
how can i move on...not miss him...not be hurt? and i cant stop myself from not going on his myspace cause i get curious of who hes talkin to...help me! i wanna get over him! and plz dont suggest..sleeping with someone else for now cause im not like that. (link)
Answer: I understand your heart is aching. You two were together for a long time. You still care about him and possibly even still love him. However, think about the reasons you broke up and ask yourself if it was for the best. You can still love someone without being "in love" or want to continue a relationship with that person. It sounds like you were the one to initiate the break-up considering he was the one that tried getting you back many times.


It's only natural he would give up after awhile. Maybe this is just another way to try to win you back, but I don't think so. I think he realizes you do not reciprocate his feelings, and he does not want to be rejected anymore. So now he is concentrating on moving on. You should be to. You don't necessarily need to jump into another relationship or start dating again right away to get over someone.


Take a break from guys for awhile. Concentrate on doing things you love, your friends, your family, your pets, etc. Whatever you do, do not speak or see your ex-boyfriend, at least for awhile. Do not let yourself check his myspace. Sure, you probably want to remain friends with him, but first you need to find yourself and let your heart heal. If you do not want to stop speaking to him with no explanation, tell him you want to remain friends but you need some time right now to yourself. It sounds like he'd agree it is for the best as well.


I just went through a break up so I know what I'm talking about. :) In time, you will get better and when the right guy comes along, you will realize you made the right decision.


Lol hey whats up, i guess this is mainly for the girls to answer. Whats the chances of a girl getting pregnant, while having unprotected sex.. but pulling out? not on the pill. (link)
Answer: I got this from www.plannedparenthood.com. I suggest you take a look at the sight so you will be better informed before you decide to have sex again!

Withdrawal


A man who performs withdrawal will pull his penis out of the vagina before he ejaculates.


How Withdrawal Works
Pregnancy cannot happen if sperm is kept out of the vagina.


How Well Withdrawal Works
Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 27 will become pregnant during the first year of typical use. Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, four will become pregnant during the first year of perfect use.


Pre-ejaculate can contain enough sperm to cause pregnancy. Pregnancy is also possible if semen or pre-ejaculate is spilled on the vulva.


Withdrawal offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections. Latex or female condoms can reduce the risk of infection.


Advantage of Withdrawal
Withdrawal can be used to prevent pregnancy when no other method is available.



Who Can Use Withdrawal
Couples who have established great self-control, experience, and trust may use withdrawal if necessary. The men who use withdrawal must be able to know when they are reaching ejaculatory inevitability รข?? the point in sexual excitement when ejaculation can no longer be stopped or postponed.


How Withdrawal is Used
The man withdraws his penis from the vagina before or when he feels he has reached the point when ejaculation can no longer be stopped or postponed. He ejaculates outside the vagina, being careful that semen does not spill onto his partner's vulva.


Possible Disadvantages of Withdrawal


requires great self-control, experience, and trust
not for men who ejaculate prematurely
not for men who don't know when to pull out
not recommended for sexually inexperienced men
not recommended for teens


Hello. I was just at my friends yesterday and from about 6 to 10 she was on the computer talking to her "internet boy friend" so i hung out with her sister. Then this morning same thing over again. Her dad even told her that it was rude and she didnt care and she knew i was upset. Shes the one that invited me so it makes very little sense too me. Shes my best friend and i dont want to stop being her friend or going to her house but shes a little to attached to her computer. What should i do? (link)
probably the best thing you can do is to let her know how you feel.

tell her that you think she's sort of getting addicted to the computer, and that you're really worried about her, because you two are bff, and when you were at her house, it was like she didn't even care about you.

but make sure you tell her in a really nice way, so that she doesn't get mad, and so that she's knows that you're telling her as a friend, and because you care about her so much.

and even if she does get mad, at least you told her, and she'll later realize that you were right.

just don't be afraid to talk to her about this kind of stuff, because you're doing it because you care about her.

and remember, if you two are really good friends, then even if you two get into a fight, you'll forgive each other.

~hope i helped~


ok my best friend is moving and it is realy hard because we have been best friends and neighbors forever what can i do =( (link)
i know how you feel, because my best friend moved really far away from me too. it's a really hard thing to accept and deal with.

you can't stop her from moving or anything, but you two will always be best friends. exchange gifts before she leaves so that you two will have something to remember each other by.

and remember, you can always talk on the phone and talk on e-mail or IM. and she can come visit you, and you can go visit her too.

at first you'll be really sad and depressed, but as time goes by, you'll get used to it and won't be so sad.

if you don't want to stop being friends, then you two need to contact each other often, otherwise, you two will probably slowly drift apart.

but if you two are really really really good friends, then it won't be that hard to stay that way, even though you two live far apart from each other.

there's really not much you can do except to just stay happy and try not to be so sad about it, and learn to accept what's happening.

just keep in touch with her, and you'll be fine.

:.good luck.:


im 13 female. i weigh aout 130 and im about 5'1'. i want to lose like 15-20 pounds. does anyone have any ideas on how to loose weight. i cant spend hours on it everyday because i am very dedicated to school. do you have any ideas?
thanks (link)
there's a lot of ways you can lose wait, but you have to keep up with it everyday, or it won't work.

you can go on a diet, like just eat as healthy as you can. try not eating any snacks for a while.

but whatever you do, make sure that you dont go like dislexic or anything by not eating anything, because that just makes everything worse, and it's even worse for your health!

you can also just work out everday. it won't take that long. just do as many push ups and sit ups as you can, and keep pushing yourself to do more and more.

listen to some music while you do it, so it'll relax you sort of. at first, you might not be able to do so many pushups and situps, but after a while once you get used to doing them and stuff, you'll be able to do a lot.

you'll probably get really sore for a few days because you might not be used to working out and stuff, but after a few days, it'll be no problem.

losing wait takes some time, so you need to be patient, and don't just expect to lose a lot of weight in one day. =P

.:hope i helped:.


Can someone explain my boyfriends behavior?I had been out of work for a really long time and i finally got a job as a sales rep in a large superstore. At first he was excited for me and said "well I hope everything works out for you".
Now heres where it gets strange. I had my first shift 3 nights ago and I told him how nice everyone was and I much fun I was having. He didnt sound happy at all and just said in an unfriendly tone "oh I guess things are working out for you". I don't understand , wouldnt he be happy for me? The only thing I can think of is he might be worried I'll meet a guy at work.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on with him? (link)
Answer: I think your boyfriend might be jealous. This could be for several different reasons... maybe he is unhappy with his job and feels you are rubbing it in because you are so pleased with your own job. Or maybe since he is not getting to spend as much time with you, having you sound so happy about it makes him feel hurt. I really don't think it has to do with other men unless you implied that, unless he is REALLY paranoid.


You deserve to be happy, and wanting to have him share in that happiness is understandable. I think your boyfriend is being a tad immature about the whole situation. Even if he was feeling a bit jealous, he could have kept it to himself. Ask him why he reacted that way. When you come home from your job, say sweet things like, "I love my job, but I love spending time with you even more." I think that will help ease the pain. *wink*


Anyways, congrats for getting a job you love!


This one girl has been my friend since 3rd grade. I've made new friends along the way, but always kept her. She's kind of fading from me now. She's hanging out with the popular girls who don't like me all that much and she acts snotty and all grown up. I don't really want to be friends with her anymore but I don't know how to just...stop being friends with her. On AIM, I took her out of my profile and she noticed and asked me why I wasen't in there. I told her I hadn't finished it yet, and that I'd add her later. I never did add her and she is just becoming more and more annoying. I really hope that she stops being friends with me because I just know that when I go to high school and even 7th grade and 8th grade, she is not the person I'm going to want to be hanging out around. I have another friend who I met in 4th grade. I really like her and she is so cool and nice. I really want her to be my friend although her and her family might move to New York next summer [I LIVE IN VA] and I am going to be very upset. It's not like I don't have other friends, I just want someone to call my best friend.


HELP! I RATE 5'S!

P.S-Sorry about it being so long (link)
Answer: Changing is apart of growing up. Of course you two are not the same people you were in 3rd grade. It's okay to drift apart and not be as close. I know I have changed, made new friends, lost contact with old ones, etc. Don't feel guilty about it. It happens and it's natural. You want to be with people who are more like yourself.


Instead of taking her off your friends list just yet, you should talk to her about the friendship. If she's acting snotty, tell her you don't appreciate her behavior. If you feel as if you two have just naturally grown apart, then say so. Don't keep her in the dark by lying to her and doing something sly like removing her off your list to show how you feel. You don't want her to be snotty, so don't be snotty to her either.


You don't necessarily have to declare a new best friend. I've had many friends, even a best friend, and I never felt the need to tell her that she was my best friend, or tell my other friends that they were not my best friends. We didn't have to assign titles to our friendships, and neither do you.


alright .. so you girls all know about discharge. can other people smell? because sometimes i can smell it .. when im going to the bathroom, or i think i smell something weird when im sitting in class..
does it really smell , or is it because i know its there?
help - and fast. (link)
Answer: Every female is different, so I'd assume the smell varies to some degree.


If it's really bad, maybe you're not cleaning yourself properly. Make sure when you shower that you are getting "down there" nice and clean as well! Also, if you're on your period, make sure you change your pads/tampons enough so it will not smell.


However, if the smell is very bad and won't go away, you could very well have a vaginal infection. If you're worried about other people smelling it, go see a gyno about it.


Sometimes my friend gets mad at me for no reason. What should I tell her or do?


Signed,
Don't Know (link)
Answer: Maybe there is a reason and you just don't see it. You need to ask her!


If the reason is insignificant or if there really is no reason, maybe she's having problems at home/school/relationships/etc, and she doesn't know how to talk about them, so instead she lashes out at you. If that's the case, you need to tell her you understand that she's going through a difficult time, and you're open to talk about it, but you do not appreciate being the scapegoat.


Maybe she's just plain mean. If that's the case, you need to pick better friends!


I can only speculate, since I cannot read your friends mind, and neither can you, so just talk to her about it!


I've been going out with this boy, Jay for a little over a month. When we first met we clicked. He's one of the nicest boys i know and he treats me very well. The only thing is that he goes away to boarding school, which is about 20 minntutes away from my town, and his family lives around 45 minnutes away. It's very difficult to go and visit/ see Jay, because i'm always the one who has to do al the work for the relationship, and he is very seldom able to leave his campus. He also tends to be very dorky at times where i just look at him and am like, oh lord. And he makes gay jokes all the time, pretending to be gay with his friends and it comes off as a bit creepy as well. But overall he's a cute boy.

Theres also this other boy, Kyle, who goes to my school. He and i have been getting very close all of a sudden, and he really opens up to me. We talk about everything all the time, and he is extremely hot. He lives VERY close to me, so it's not a hassle to go and visit him. So i'm beginning to like Kyle.

I feel extremely awful for liking another boy while having a boyfriend, and ive only had two other boyfriends my entire life, and i'm seventeen. I feel as though i only go and visit my b/f Jay just because it's something to do. But when i'm with him i really like him. It's a confusing situation. I don't know if i'd be better off with Kyle from my town, or my boyfriend Jay. I really love hanging out with Jay and his firends, but when im not around them .. it's like i could care less.A


Bigger Dilemma..

Today Kyle asked me to go to the movies with him sometime this week. He knows that Jay and i haven't been getting along with our relationship too well and i guess that;s why he asked me. WOuld it be wrong to go to the movies with him? (i dont know if it would be as just friends or more) and should i stay with jay even thoguh i have feelings for someone else?! Thank you so much if you can help me. I RATE 5's to anyone who gives me SOME advice. THANKS!! (link)
Answer: As far as the "bigger dilemma" goes, would Jay mind if you went to the movies with Kyle? I think you know in your heart that it's wrong, seeming that you are attracted to Kyle.


Distance can be bothersome, but if you truly care about someone, it can work. I was in a long-distance relationship with someone, and I actually went a year and a half without seeing him and never ever questioned my love for that person. So the fact that you're questioning means that maybe you are not into him as much as you think.


The fact that you're having feelings for someone else means that you are not happy in your relationship with Jay. I can't tell you who to chose, you have to figure that out for yourself. I know that if the little things that Jay does truly bother you, those feelings will not go away. They will just get to you even worse than they are now the longer you stay with him, no matter how many other good qualities he has.


Whatever you do, do not cheat on Jay or stay with him simply because you feel guilty for breaking up with him. If you're unhappy in the relationship, cannot handle the distance, and are having feelings for someone else, you might want to consider ending it with Jay. It may end up being for the best and who knows... maybe Kyle really is the right guy for you after all!


Ok here goes :). I have feeling for my Ex boyfriend who broke up with me. He said he liked someone else. But he keeps on flirting with me i think anyway. Like everytime we see each other he smiles at me and stares and he will come and stand biside me when we have breaks in between classes and he walks me to my bus EVERYDAY. He even gets kinda mad when other guys are flirting with me. So Does he. I am kinda confused! Thanks! (link)
Answer: Big red flag - He broke up with you because he liked someone else. Maybe this other girl did not reciprocate his feelings, so now he's running back to you.


If that's the case, be very, very cautious in your decision to take him back or not! You were probably heartbroken when he broke up with you and find it very tempting to want to take him back. You probably really care about him, but I don't think he feels the same. If he truly loved you and cared about you, he would not be keeping the back door open, which means just settling for you for now while looking for someone better, and that seems to be exactly what he's doing. You do not want to be hurt again!


Looking on the positive side of things, maybe he just made a big mistake, and he's now realized it. Maybe once he broke up with you, he figured out how much he cared about you and not the other girl. Who knows. The only way you are going to find out is if you communicate with him and be honest with yourself. If you do decide to take him back, tell him first that you are giving him a second chance, but will not take him back if he breaks up with you, then comes running back to you again when he feels like it.


However, maybe none of this is the case. Maybe he wants to remain broken-up, but he just hasn't completely gotten over you yet. The only way to know is to ask!


last night i went over my friends house for his birthday. the situation is hard to explain but, i really like him. i went out with him before but he broke up with me after 4 days. which i guess hardly counts. but we've been flirting ever since we broke up. i always flirt with him and i've hooked up with him a few times in the last few weeks. i know im not gonna be able to go out with him because of the way he is and cant stick to a commitment. so last night my best friend was cuddling with him on the couch. it was really ticking me off. she knows i like him and always yells at me for flirting with him so much because "im gonna get myself hurt" but last night she was all over him. i think he's mad at me. im not sure though... i wasnt supposed to be out last night. i said i was at a friends house because i wasnt supposed to be over this guys house. i also slept over his best friends house and he was there until 2:30 am before he went home. im sick of being hurt because i like him. and i try to stop liking him but i just cant. can anyone help? (link)
Answer: Ask yourself this... Does a person who does not care about my feelings, who uses me to "hook-up," who is afraid of committment, really deserve my love?


He sounds like a total jerk. He does not respect you, or else he would not be cuddling with your "best" friend in front of you. She doesn't seem like much of a friend either, and it sounds like she tells you to stop flirting with him so SHE can get to him.


Open your eyes. You deserve so much better! Don't let this guy have control over your emotions. He is not worth the pain and heartache. If you focus on him, you are denying yourself the opportunity to find someone better.


Find better friends, do things you love, and stop all contact with him. Seeing him and speaking with him, especially having physical contact with him, is only reopening the wounds you are trying to heal. Yes, it will be hard at first, but in time, things will get better, and you'll be a much happier, wiser person, who will end up with someone who treats you how you should be treated!


13/f. Alot of my girl friends say that i look pretty and gorgeous and things like that. But i dont think guys find me attractive,...why? (link)
Answer: You are only 13, so don't worry so much about finding a guy just yet. Instead, work on yourself!


Learn how to be comfortable in your own skin. Be at peace with your flaws (everyone has them and worries about them on occassion) and realize that there is so much more to you than what meets the eye. Do not question how attractive you are. There are so many different opinions out there on what makes a certain person attractive, and it's not just all about looks! In my opinion, a guy who has a good sense of humor, confidence, is compassionate, and can easily have meaningful discussions would be attractive to me.


Once you gain confidence in yourself, guys will pick up on that. The more confidence you have, the easier it will be for you to interact with guys, and they will truly get to know who you are. Maybe they do find you attractive, but don't have the guts to tell you yet or think you are not interested, so make the first move!


Don't stress that you haven't found a guy yet. Just do things you love, hang out with your friends, and eventually, when you least expect it, you will find the right guy.
