or is it always something more?

like, his car was a bit messy, and he had to clean the seat before i sat down, and another guy friend was with us but he didn't care about him. and when we were going to his room he said i should wait cause he was embarrassed about his room being messy, so he was gonna clean it up a bit, even though I said I didn't mind. and then when my other guy friend left and it was just us he seemed to really be paying attention to what I was saying, and tried to impress me I think, through my interests? like he said he listened to some band I love, the day before. i don't know.. when we're with our other friends in public he seems more distant. i mean he jokes with me but when it was just us I felt like I had peeled the layers and was just seeing the true him, and even though I was a bit nervous cause I like him, I felt easy just saying a lot on my mind, cause we're still getting to know each other. I may have talked too much, but I was afraid of an awkward silence.. haha next time I'll try not to do that as much. but he just makes me nervous cause I rarely connect with other people like that. we have a lot of weird things in common. and what else.. well, i was wearing a dress and a couple times I'd catch him staring at my legs and feet (I was wearing wedge heels). he implied that I was dressed fancy but to me it was just casual lol. but in all honesty I do like dressing up a bit when I know I'm going to see him..

One thing I can recommend is to just relax and not worry about this. Let your relationship unfold and enjoy the journey. He wants you to like him as much as you want him to like you.

He's actually shy except when you are alone and doesn't want his friends to pick up on liking you yet because he doesn't know what he has yet with you.

I think what you should do is tell him that it's all new and you're obsessed with not making mistakes, not talking too much etc. etc. and that it's okay to acknowledge you with his friends. More or less spell out you want to be with him and not to be distant in public. Tell him if he wants a relationship that you do too. After that it all gets easier.

And yes, guys don't get embarrassed about anything such as their room or try to impress any girl that they don't like. He really has a thing for you but it may be hard for him to tell you. Make it easy. Talk openly about it to him.

Theres a guy in one of my classes-I think he likes me, because he's always looking at me and on the one occasion when we did talk he kept laughing at my jokes.And he shuffles awkawardly when I answer in class

I overheard him say (but he doesn't know) blah blah... 'but I'd never ask her out because I don't think she likes me...'Then his friends looked across at me.

So I'm 60% sure he likes me but then he could be talking about someone else. Should I add him on facebook to show interest or will this backfire if he's not interested? We've only had like 2 conversations.

Thanks for any advice :) (link)
I can't see this backfiring quite honestly. While we don't know if it's you that you overheard him liking people friend classmates all the time and it means nothing. As long as you don't give off a romantic vibe on Facebook or badger him with endless stream of messages you're fine.

In fact, if you messaged him ONCE and asked if he could add you that's fine. Just say "I'm so and so from whatever class and was hoping I could add you as a friend. It would be nice to get to know you.

You see, he's pretty shy or he would be talking to you and not acting awkward. His confidence isn't there so actually emailing on Facebook back and forth may get him to trust you and let you in.

At the same time if you really are interested in him return his gaze, flirt a little, toss your hair (not your cookies) and try talking to him in class and show you are approachable. If there's a dance coming up, a party or something you can do in groups invite him. It's all easier after.


I'm twelve and i have been out with this guy called will 3 times and we are currently going out. I think he loves me alot more than i love him. Each time we broke up it was me that ended it which i straight away regret,what am i meant to do because i love but then again i don't. (link)
I think your problem lies with enjoying the thrill of the hunt and going after guys or being pursued. Once you have the guy you get a little bored. Problem is that's how people get hurt. If you don't genuinely love the guy move on.

Especially move on if you can't make up your mind. Before doing so ask yourself what bores you about him and if you can talk it out and work on it, Do positives outweigh negatives with him?

Also if you broke up 3 times that's indicator it isn't going to work unless the very thing that drives you apart is fixed if it can be. Maybe you need to give things more time with people to unfold the way you want or better than the way you want.


wat can i do if my cousin wants to have sex with me and i don't get it bacause he says that he likes me and that he wants to have sex with me wat do i do???????? (link)
Tell an adult you trust exactly what he has said to you and let them handle him. What he is doing is wrong and he needs adult intervention to get that. It's immoral on top. Definitely tell someone and they can deal with it for you.

So, there's a guy that I'm friends with that I've known for about 4 years, but we weren't really friends till a couple months ago. He randomly started messaging me on Facebook, then he pulled the "I'm getting off Facebook, what's your number?" stunt, so I have him my number (we're friends). This was a week ago, and now he texts me every single day, from the hour after school gets out till he goes to bed. I don't mind the texting, cuz I enjoy talking to him. I like him, but only as a friend. Anyway, he has been sending VERY flirtatious texts, and has told me multiple times that I'm sexy and very attractive, and that I'm his type. I've just said thank you. Then, he's asked me if he's attractive back, and I didn't want to be mean so I said yes (he IS attractive, I just don't like him that way) He's been flirting with me over text, and I've been unintentionally flirting back, but I haven't explicitly said anything about liking him.
Tonight, when he was going to bed and saying goodnight, he said that he liked me. However, it was in a longer text, so I sort of ignored that part and just filled my response with a bunch of "hahahahas" and ;). The thing is, this guy is pretty cute and he's really nice and smart, and I probably would go out with him, except there's another guy that I'm really good friends with that I have a massive crush on. I don't want to go out with the one that likes me because I like the other guy. Basically, I dont want to give this guy a chance in a relationship because then the guy I like will think I'm not interested.I'm certain this guy will mention that he likes me again, over text. How do I say I don't like him? And how do I respond to his flirty texts without flirting back? Thank you! (link)
The truth is you do indeed like this guy. You said you would date him if it weren't for someone else you have your sight set on. Don't make the mistake I did recently.

I almost missed out on a great friend or the right girl by ignoring her for a girl I was attracted to that was a real... Sometimes, the other person deserves a second look as they may be right for you.

The one thing you know is that you have a crush on someone but NOT if they like you that way and presumably at all. They could reject you and if you rejected the other guy you would lose him too.

Frankly, I would actually go on a date (it's not a commitment) with the guy you text and see if there is anything there at all chemistry wise first. You can then rule him out as a partner and let him down gently if you have to.

One way you can do it electronically is to say "I think you're a swell guy and some girl would be blessed to have you as a boyfriend but I don't want you to be misled it's just not me. I genuinely want you as a friend though but there's no romantic feelings."

If you want him to stop texting so much don't respond back. Make him wait a while or you could always point out "Listen, I enjoy talking to you but I don't have access to unlimited texting on this phone and my parents get annoyed at me because it's costing too much." That's a stern hint to back off.

But the point is you said you would go out with him if it weren't for someone else you have no idea feels the same way. I honestly think you should look past your desired choice of a mate to this guy as he really likes you despite being a little to pushy with it. A guy like him is genuine and bloody hard to come by. I'd give him a chance and if it doesn't work than go after your crush. You may regret not doing so.

Thing is you're a bit guilty here as you flirted back and never told him "Thanks for the compliments but flirting makes me uncomfortable." It's kinda led him on and encouraged him.

If texts make you uneasy don't answer them right away or at all and he will move on but seeing as you do like him best not to deny yourself a chance at a good guy or at the least friend from this.

Did you ever think that he might have a real hard time socializing in general? Maybe telling any girl how he feels is a HUGE deal and he figures texting and throwing not so subtle hints is the way to make it known. You might be able to do him a favor by showing that it isn't and show him how better to come across with girls. That way if he finds someone else he would connect as desired. He's a good guy. Don't hurt him.


Hi guys so i have been dating my bf for a year and we are in a long distance relationship ... i watched porn a few times jsut because sometimes when i did get in the mood he was not here ... n usually we have webcam sex .... but just today i asked him if he watches porn n he said "i dont watch as much porn as i used to" ... then i asked him if he still does n he said ya ... i felt soo uneasy .. cause i thought he watched me on webcam n was happy in that .. but now i find out he watches .. i feel weird ... i know guys do that so its a normal thing .., n since i also watched it a few time.. it should be fine ... but i dont want him to start expecting things from meh like do that or that ... n now m like all the things he tells meh to do on webcam is a way of making him reach n he is making me do what they do on webcam like show meh this in this way... n recently he said we do it too much on the webcam ... well if he is watching porn n doing it with meh then ya maybe its too much for him .. while i only do it on webcam with him .. n watched porn only a few times n i dont rll like em that much ... now i dont know how to react on this topic .. pls help meh out .. i know m insecure ... i dont have the perfect figure like those porn stars do .. m jsut soo worried ... n i dont want to lose him!! thx (link)
You need to relax. This really isn't a problem or situation where he doesn't think you are beautiful. What's happening is that he's away from you for an extended period and needs sexual relief. He's using porn and the webcam with you to achieve that without cheating.

He doesn't like the girls on those DVDs any more than you. It's just a fantasy thing. I think his saying you do the webcam thing too much is a case of him missing that with you and it bothering him. Ask him what he meant by it.

As far as when you do get together for sex I'm 100% sure that he's not comparing what they do on screen to you. The thing is though that if he or you saw something you thought looked fun from said videos you could always explore it. However, he's not expecting you to be like Jenna Jameson when he gets back.

It's the same thing when you watch porn yourself and don't have any expectation of him. It's all fantasy and can't harm him or you both or the relationship. Most males watch it who have partners as well as are single. It doesn't mean anything. I would just relax.

Don't worry about how those girls look either most of it is fake plastic surgery anyways and not reflective of real women. Trust me if he were shallow and didn't like your body or its curves he would be long gone. Although you don't like porn it's safe to relax and let him watch as it does him no harm.

Hello, i'm Melanie. My bestfriend's name is Lily. Ok so she had a boyfriend named Jake. Well, I've liked Jake for a long long time.. Now I think I love him. I'm serious, here. I can't ever get him out of my mind, i've written SO many songs about him, I listen to songs about him, ect. Well, Lily still likes him. At least I think she does. Anyways, I think Jake And Lily will get back together!! If they do, i'll cry so much.. What do I do? I feel so bad for loving him when she likes him. What do I do?! (link)
You need to talk with your friend about him. Tell her that your friendship has and will always come first when it comes to guys because they come and go but you both won't.

Tell her you have always had feelings for this guy but put them aside for her for the good of the friendship. Find out if they are completely "done" or if she's looking to get him back. Maybe if she has no desire to be with him she might even give you her blessing to proceed.

If she still likes him as much as it hurts you have to respect the relationship they have and back off and let your friendship remain in tact. If they break it off again.. well then you can move in on him. It's hard but over time it gets better and putting her ahead of a guy is the right move.


Okay so me and this guy (let's call him Bob) were really close. We could talk about a lot of stuff but he got into a relationship. I liked him for the longest time even when he had a gf. We flirted a lot. But in April, I got a bf and we stopped talking as much because bob hates my ex. Well we are both broken up with own bf/gf and I realized, I still like him. But we barely talk and I was wondering, how can I talk to him again without it being awkward. I have tried but I can't get a full conversation outta him. So please help with anything! (: thanks in advance! (link)
You should try an e-mail. In it write that you miss him and hate that you haven't seen him or spoken in so long because of someone out of both your lives. Ask why he won't converse with you now? Ask him what gives because you used to be extremely close.

This should do it if he won't talk long on the phone or in person. You could also add that the timing was never right for the relationship you both knew you should have had in retrospect and maybe in the future could occur. That's telling the whole truth upfront but leaves you a little vulnerable if he doesn't have those feelings any longer. If you can't get to talk in person or on the phone definitely e-mail him. At least you'll know where you stand then.


okay so i know this is stupid of me to ask but i feel like when i ask people i know i don't get an honest answer. im 5'2 i have light blonde hair that ends right at my boobs its usually curled or in beach waves im a 34DD in a bra i have light blue eyes i usually half to get like a size 8 in dresses since my boobs are so big and have the dress made smaller in the waist i definitely have curves and a butt my waist is smaller and i have big thighs i get really nervous and awkward when i half to get in a bathing suit because i have 2 scars on my stomach. i get told im pretty all the time but i just can't bring myself to believe it i also hate going places because i feel like everywhere i go im being judged (link)
There's actually two issues to deal with here and not one. I'll tackle the being judged part first. Try and think really, really hard back to when that feeling of being constantly judged kicked in and who and or what first triggered it.

Next, tell yourself that these feelings aren't your normal way of thinking. It could in fact be depression or something else sending those constant negative, untrue thoughts about you through your brain.

It would be a great thing if you actually told your parents how you feel. Ask them to discuss this with your doctor and teachers and find support and a professional to talk to to put them behind you.

Hopefully you will see that more people like you than you ever thought did. But yes it could be a medical thing making you think like that.

As far as being pretty goes... It's really you that you need to be concerned with and your opinion of self and acceptance of your own body as being beautiful that needs to trump whatever someone else may think. You can't control what anyone else thinks at all. If you like how you look than that's key. You're fine.

You never mentioned how you got the scars on your stomach. I'm assuming an accident or surgical scars. If I were you I would wear whatever swimsuit you wanted scars or not. I promise you nobody at the pool will be concerned about them. Most people at the pool are probably hoping you don't notice their thighs, acne, beer gut etc. Just have fun at the pool.

If any idiot starred or asked how it happened make a joke about "battle scars" or "wrestling gators." or whatever as the moment you show you have a self-deprecating humor about it nobody will be thinking about it.

I actually challenge you to go to an indoor public pool at a community center this week and see if I'm wrong. Drop me a note as I KNOW there's no reason to be concerned or not to wear the suit you want. All that matters is how you view yourself and having fun.

I understand that it must be hard to be 5 ft 2 and have developed in the fashion you have to have adult curves, bust etc. as an adolescent. Boys can be awful. If this bothers you try talking to your mom about it and your doctor about self-image. Let me know how you fare. But definitely get to work on learning to accept yourself as you'll feel a ton better once you start talking to people about this rather than keeping it inside.


So my boyfriend and I were hanging before a mixer and then we got to talking about kissing. He's had one and only one kiss, but I haven't had any. So we both discovered we want to kiss each other and he put and kept his arm around me and kept walking like that, but he kept jokingly trying to kiss me, then he held his face directly next to mine so when I turned my head up I'd end up kissing him. Evidently he thought I wouldn't notice this, but I did, so I kept looking at the ground probably blushing for once. I was so nervous that I think by the end of the night he ended up thinking I didn't want to kiss him and we've hung out after that but it's not as close and cute as we were and he hasn't tried to kiss me anymore. We've got a best friend kinda thing goin' on too, so what should I do? Did I ruin my chance, or should I suggest it more...? (link)
Looks like you have a golden opportunity for a relationship here as well as that first kiss. What you NEED here is to be honest with him.

Tell him that you want to be kissed but was so nervous and petrified and the timing was off that night. He will totally understand as no doubt he was shaking in his boots too or had the first time he kissed a girl.

He LIKES you so just relax and know that if he's your best-friend now it will only get better and he will catch you if you stumble.

You NEED to let him know all of this or he will go around wondering why you weren't into him when in fact you desire him in this manner. Also, when you're totally ready just ask him if he would kiss you. There's nothing wrong with that and some guys like that.

The other thing I would do is figure out if you want a relationship first and make a pact to remain friends if it doesn't work out. Make sure you are both on the same page.


I really like this 13 year old boy, I am a 11 year old girl but he likes me too(bf, gf way) he grabs my ass and wants to kiss, he also puts my hand on his dick. Should I make out with him? Only problem is other 13 year old boy likes me too and we all live on the same street and hang out alot. What do I do?Also please don't give me any of that choose who u like and follow ur heart junk! (link)
What do you like about the first boy you mentioned? When you think about it is he truly respecting you? If he's grabbing your bottom and trying to put your hand on private parts all the time that really isn't right.

It's unwanted touch unless it was consented to. Even if it was you NEED to talk to him about this being something he can't do.

Who you make-out with is your decision but you need to be in control and keep others in line and let them know that kind of touching isn't okay if not agreed to.

My recommendation to you is figure out who you really like first and treats you right before making-out with anyone. You won't hurt them or yourself that way later on.

It's fine to be friends with one or both boys or not the other. You have to make sure whomever you do choose is 100% who you want to be with or just be friends with or even have nothing to do with. You have some thinking to do. That's the wise thing to do mull it over and who means what to you.





So I'm in a bit of an unusual situation. I'm 26 years old and am still a virgin. It's not for any moral or religious reasons, it's just that I've always been highly independent as well as very introverted and those two kinda mix to result in me, a fairly attractive woman who has never had sex.

For a while I thought something was up with me like maybe I was gay or something and just didn't wanna be. But lately all I can think about is sex! I feel like a teenage boy or something. The upside to this is that I'm def. not gay! (no offense to gay people). I find myself checking men out more than I ever have before. Maybe I'm just a late bloomer or something? I dunno.

Is this normal??? (link)

You are indeed a normal 26-year-old woman. When it comes to sex there does seem to be pressure among peers perhaps, culture, and media and this bogus notion you must do it by age 18 or X,Y,Z age or you aren't normal or less male or female than those who have. It's all B.S.

Like I tell everyone on here it's not a competition or race and that sex should ideally come only when ready for it and that can come at any age. If you're 26 or even older that's okay. It will happen when you find the right guy and circumstance.

You're in good shape because when it happens you will be prepared for it to and will be with a guy who you know genuinely loves you and it won't matter to him. In fact, he may feel honored that you waited and decided he was the one.

I'm an introvert to the exponent infinity myself so I understand where you are coming from. I was 24 when I had it (I'm male) and though I don't regret having been active I do regret it wasn't with the right person (an acquaintance of a friend) and rushed in due to the whole thing about age and wanting to know what the fuss was about.

I found through that experience that it's not about age or any of that nonsense but about the right person, situation and then it will be a lot more meaningful. For me, it wasn't and I vowed not to have sex again until finding the absolutely right long-term person.

Definitely, don't get with someone you know or don't too well in the heat of the moment or otherwise just to reach a milestone (and I know you aren't like that but others reading this may be).

I think what you can do and should in the meantime is get out of your shell and talking and meeting men in a safe environment try drama courses, toast-masters, any kind of group activity and start talking with people like you would any other person and be open to them getting to know you.

Try to find a place where you are able to be a leader and a doer so that people have to work with you. You can find a partner through this (boyfriend).

Also, if there are suitable men in your life now that perhaps you never thought of as boyfriend material take a second look. Take the time now to work on your confidence with people and guys in general.

Reason being is if people think you are quiet and don't talk they won't look your way and or wonder "what's up with her?" I'm not saying be someone you aren't but definitely find ways to act assertive and boost your confidence and get noticed.

As far as being horny goes it's fine and it's normal. It's not just teenagers who have these feelings adults can and do. It's normal to find members of the opposite sex attractive too. It would seem though that you have a high sex drive and thoughts just racing through your head of sex.

Nothing wrong or dirty about that. I've read sex educators over the years that state some people find masturbation regularly can decrease this constant and intense sexual feelings.

Another thing about first-time sex is that it's often not an enjoyable thing or disappointment for a lot of people male and female both but over time as you learn and find the right person it can become great.

The fact you have had to wait and will find the right person means you will likely have the desired first experience you yearn for. It'll happen in time and I know that's hard to hear but it's true. Age means absolutely nothing being ready and right guy does.

I have been dealing with a break up and I want to kill myself. You guys probably think in stupid but over been dating for 6 years and I fell in love hard .. he broke up with me last night I can't deal with it. What's an easy suicide? I'm 20 years old and female. (link)
You aren't stupid but you are adrift and not thinking right. Mentally you aren't yourself and need professional help if you can't function at all and desire to die. The simple fact of the matter is that NOBODY at all is worth dying over no matter the circumstance.

You may have been with this person for 6 years and this hurt you badly but relationships come and go. You will eventually move on and yes indeed forget about this one day. To die over this is wrong when you have a ton to accomplish and live for.

If what has happened has made you this depressed please do yourself a favor and go to any ER and tell them the truth about wanting to die because you need professional intervention because you aren't at all well. That's a fact and being 100% brutally honest and straight with you. You'll thank me later as your life is worth it. He's just a guy and with their help you will deal with the issues troubling you about this and see life is worth living.


Hi, I work at Tim Hortons and I am a supervisor. My boyfriend works at the same one & he is also a supervisor. There are enough supervisors there to cover the shifts we requested off (tues-thurs) but they are in fact allowed to borrow people from other Tim Hortons. Now. My boyfriend and I requested these days off about a month in advance, giving them plenty of time to find extra people to work. I was told today that my boyfriend and I would probably not be getting those days off. I have non refundable concert tickets and a non refundable hotel room. So my question is -if we don't get those three days off, what can I do? I most certainly am not going to work unless they reimburse me for those things I bought. (link)
The unfortunate part about minimum wage jobs at fast-food places is that you can request time off weeks in advance and not be given it. Usually you have to work those shifts despite your rank even if others are available or face your bosses wrath.

What I would do is a bit of theater by bundling a lie with truth. Tell them you have family from England or wherever that are visiting and haven't been here since 1987 and aren't likely to return any time soon for a visit and you wanted those three days off to visit them out of town.

That works much better than saying it's a concert which most certainly won't earn you time off. Tell your boss that non-refundable hotel rooms have been booked and train tickets to whatever town it is you're headed to. See if that works.

The way the law and your contract works with them is that they owe you NOTHING usually in terms of reimbursement or even days off you need. It's to their discretion.

I've known one person in the past who said they wanted time off that they weren't going to get tell them he was celebrating his engagement that weekend. The thing is though it's not right people sometimes have to tell a whopper with bosses like this to get days off.

Honesty is always good but don't say it's for a concert as it's not their business and saying it's a concert will get you nowhere. What you should do is call in 24 hrs before Tuesday with a family emergency and that you cannot work those days. They shouldn't give you bullshit about it then. Even if they fired you both don't back down and do go to the concert and out of town as planned.

You can always get a better job in a flash if need be. I'm sure if you present a reasonable scenario to them or declare a family emergency which is always recommended you'll be fine. Whatever happens go to the concert and worry about them later on.


My boyfriend never NEVER tells me I'm beautiful. I know he thinks it and I really don't need to hear it, like I am confident and secure with myself but all my friends boyfriends are always telling them how beautiful they are. I tell him how attractive I think he is all the time. And he calls other girls beautiful..a lot. Should I be concerned? I am a little and frustrated. What should i do?

Thanks so much in advanced for any suggestions or advice (: (link)
Perhaps he knows that you are secure in yourself and not needing to constantly hear him say you are beautiful. Problem is he's not saying it period.

It's not anything you did or didn't do but you need to tell him that you feel hurt especially when he says it to other girls and not you. This will start a fight. It needs to go down this way and be said. This is especially important to do when you feel left out and he's supposed to be with you not them.

Ask him why he tells other girls they are beautiful and not you? Put your foot down on him not doing that any longer. Does it mean he loves you less or wants to be with them? I think he's just the type though you know him better than me to compliment women and their beauty and it not mean anything else. Best thing to do is confront him if it's hurting this much.


what is the best way to commit suicide of dying peacefully in your sleep in bed without any pain or side effects but will guarantee death. (link)
Please head to an emergency room and tell them you are in crisis and are thinking of suicide. No matter what problems you may have they are all able to be solved. You don't know how and can't see it as you are mentally ill a the moment.

With the right treatment from a psychiatrist you can get your life back and maybe better than before. There is always a way and suicide is not the right option or any option.


I am 18 years old and I found this guy up here who made me feel amazing. He was always there for me and we did everything together. I was so happy when I was around him. We talked for about a month and nothing ever came up about dating. I wanted to date him so bad but he never said anything about it, so I just dropped it. We started getting into arguments and he was lying to me pretty bad so I ended it. Well I still love this guy. He was my first love. Everyone told me that ever since we stopped talking he started smoking week and taking pills. He also isn't showing up to any of his classes. I didn't belive anyone but I'm starting to think it's true. I can't get away from him so I started texting him again and we have been hanging out recently. We were supposed to hang out the other day and once again he didn't show up to class and won't reply to any of my messages. No one knows where he went. I worry about him so much and I wish I knew what to do. I love him..... (link)
Do what any good friend would and call or text and ask to talk face-to-face at school. Tell him you are greatly concerned for his well-being based on him never being at school and rumors he has issues with drugs.

Tell him what he means to you and that if he really does have a problem that you want to do all you can to help him. As far as hanging out goes until you know what really is going on do so in groups and away from parties but if he reaches out for help give it. Let your parents know about him and see what they can do to help you if he's hooked on drugs.

Sometimes we fall in love with the right person but at the wrong time if that makes sense. when he's sober he's right but when he's not it's not good for a relationship. If he straightens out maybe pursue that but for now be a person who is there if he needs help and use your gut instinct on how to deal with him as things unfold. He may be the right guy but not at this very instant for you.

Sometimes if you love someone you have to let them go for a bit in a scenario like this and see if time and a change in a bad situation leads where you want it to and sometimes you lose someone entirely. Be prepared for any of these things as right now until you talk one on one and ask for honesty you don't know what you have on your hands.

You will want to find a university that has a music program or better yet a music management program where they train you how to manage recording artists. While I do NOT know this program inside out Sheridan College in Toronto is world-renowned for their music and music technology programs and anything related to musical theater or general performing arts. I would start here: http://www.sheridan.edu/site/sc/academics/programs-and-majors/music/

I'm not sure if it's them or someone else I'm thinking of for music management where they teach you how to manage artists, select arrangements, and record actual albums but there are programs out there and if Sheridan doesn't offer that (and I think they do) there's no reason not to e-mail and ask where they think is best for it.


hi there i want to write a letter to Barry Manilow online so he can read it asking him to visit Torontos Much Music and take an interview on it so can you please post me a link to where i can do it thank you (link)
Your best bet to have him appear on Much Music is to contact them directly in Toronto. They recently were taken over by CTV and they don't list the new phone number. But if you dial 411 they can give it to you. I did find you an e-mail address and an address for surface mail. Direct your suggestion to the program director and or ask for the producer of a specific show they televise.

MuchMusic
299 Queen Street West
Toronto, Ontario

TDD (Telephone Device for the Deaf): 416-340-7207
Fax: 416 384-MUCH (6824)
E-mail: contact@muchmusic.com


The bad news about Barry Manilow is that he's known to get tons of fan-mail and it's his policy not to even send fans an autographed photo or respond to mail.

However, you can approach his management in L.A. with a letter and point out that Much Music and whatever program it was would be a great place for him to do an interview when in Toronto and see if they agree.

So I became best friends with my one friend, Katie, this year and we became as close as sisters. But she has a little brother, John, who is only a year younger but I think he's really cute and I kinda like him... The other day he messaged me on twitter and we talked and he gave me his number and stuff. I have talked to him in person a couple times but now we text all the time and we're kinda "talking". We decided to keep this a secret and I have not told anyone yet but I don't know if I should go for it or not because Katie's other friend became more than friends with John and Katie got mad. What do you think I should do? (link)
Tell her that her brother has shown some interest in you and you have been chatting back and forth but that's it. Let her know you understand what happened with a friend of hers that liked him before.

Tell her your close friendship means more than anything with her brother and that the whole thing is making you very, very uneasy and that you want either her consent to proceed or for her to tell her brother that you don't want this to continue because the friendship means more.

If you did get involved even if she said it was alright if that relationship ended badly she would be gone too. You have to think about that. And above all--don't do the thing that will instantly KILL your friendship--don't have any secrets about anything related to her brother so end that.

Honestly, if you two are like sisters and can discuss any topic no matter whether it was embarrassing or not you should be able to talk to her about this rattling off all the reasons you don't want to act without asking and that it makes you feel uneasy or icky as losing her isn't an option.

It may be best in this case to even tell the guy that it's fine to be friends but when it comes to his sister and dating her sibling you just don't want to go there with him. A friendship that's out in the open and handling it yourself by telling him despite what he/you may feel her feelings come first will help the situation.
