Hello, summer is coming up and i'm interested in getting a new bathing suit, preferibly a bikini.

So, if you could, find me a cute bikini. There's no limit and price and I like a lot of things.


Thanks !

-Hope that made sense

I couldn't really pick a specific one out for you because I don't know what colors/styles you like. There are sooo many stores with super cute bikini's you could try:

Victoria's Secret: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/category/?cgnbr=OSSWMZZZZZZ&cm_mmc=goo-_-swm-_-swse-_-13130

Old Navy
Aeropostale
JC Pennys
Marshalls
Target

Hope I helped!

I was just woundering if guys have like a thing for girls with long legs or soemthing?? because i have really long and skinny legs and i HATE them but i always hear that guys like them alot

sorry this is sucha random topic, but its killinggg meeee because i dont get it

Every guy is different. It's a personal prefrence. Some like long skinny legs and some like shorter stockier legs. Guys should accept someone for who they are, not for how much fat they have on their legs,

Hi, i really like this boy at my school. I'm not sure if he likes me.My best friend said ok well he likes you because she said his best friend told her! "I'm like omg!!YES!" But then sometimes i wonder if that is really true. Like most of the days at school i look at him, he looks at me for like 7 seconds then looks away right after. If i flash him a smile he gives me a weird crooked smile. We don't talk after since elemantary school and were both in middle school.He knows i like him 2.

So is he sending me mixed signals!?
Does he like me?!

please give me advice a.s.a.p

well, since he knows that you like him and doesn't really seemed bothered by it, AND looks at you for like 7 seconds, i'd say he likes you. I doubt his friend would lie about him saying that so he probably does like you. About the mixed signal thing maybe he gets nervous or flustered when you smile at him.

Im 16, just had my period getting over it today. but two nights ago, i was really tired and i went to change my tampon not realizing that i already had one in. Later i completly remembered.. took the second one out and the 1st one i got, but when i took it out it had no string.. is that something i should worry about or not a big deal? please helppp!

Thisis gonna sound nasty but the same thing happened to me. Get a small mirror and position it to where you can your vagina clearly. Put your fingers up there and see if you can reach it and get it out. If you cant you'll have to go to the hospital so they can pull it out with forceps. If you just leave it in there it will rot.

I know its illegal if one person is above 18 and the other one is below but is it illegal if you're both 18? My parents said it was but then why do they sell condoms to kids if that's promoting illegal activity?

It is legal if both persons are 18 or older. I don' think that they sell them to promote any illegal sexual activity. They sell them to promote safe sex. Hope I helped!

Just checking...the birth control pill still works when you have consumed alcohol right?

ive been bisexual for as long as i can remeber and i reciantly moved adn ive been wonderin if i should tell my friends that im bi, but i really dont want them to be like omg your bi im not talkin to you any more. so whats your opinion for chics who are bi? do ya like em or hate em, what..... thx in advance

It's your decesion if you want to tell them or not. If you feel comfortable enough to tell them I think you should. Real friends would accept your lifestyle not be like "omg you're bi don't talk to me".

i have dry skin on my face.. not my whole entire face.. but just some parts. i don't know when it started to become dry, but right now.. i'm using calming creme.. it's to help dry skin, which my dad recommended for dry skin. is there any other way i can help make it not come back and stuff?

p.s i don't have any money in my family & such to go see a therapist or anything like that.. we don't even have insurance.

Ok I had the same problem. After you wash your face in the morning I suggest that you use "Clean & Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer" It will help your dry skin, plus make your face glow. It's only about 4 bucks. You could also try Olay moisturizer.

my friend keeps on telling me about how her "down there" smells.. and i dont know what to say.. how do you even cure that!?

Does she say that it smells bad? If her discharge is a yellow or greenish color and smells fishy thats when she needs to worry. It may just be a yeast infection which can be cured with antibiotics. So if she has these signs then tell to go visit the doctor for treatment.

i'm going on sort of a double date thing on friday. Its going to be me and my boyfriend and my friend and her boyfriend going to the movies.My boyfriend and i haven't kissed yet and he said he was gunna kiss me in the movie. This will be my first kiss. Wat should i do?????
Thanx in advance

Just go with the flow! When he starts to lean in for it, you lean in too. It will just come natural. If you decide to start making out then just part his lips with your tounge. Make sure you have Chapstick!

Does it feel good when someone fingers you? Because my boyfriend wants to, but I'm scared that it wont feel good or it will hurt. What about after if he's fingers are wet? What does he do? I feel like an idiot for asking, but I really wanna know..

If he's gentle and knows what he doing then yes. If you are scared of it hurting then have him start off with one finger then work his way up. If his finger is wet it might make it easier depending on how wet you already are. He will put his finger(s) inside of you and move them around. He may also rub your g-spot. It is about an inch inside of you and can be reached if he does the "come here" motion with his finger.

If it's not too...big of a commotion or problem for you, could you tell me about a funeral you went to?

I'm going to my friend's grandma's funeral and it's the first one I ever went and I have no idea what's going to happen, what it's about, and not really sure what it is except that it's something that happens after someone dies.

P.S, do you HAVE to wear black? Not to be disrespectful or anything but this is just how i see it: "If I died, I'd like everyone to wear colourful clothes, to kinda celebrate that i moved to heavon in the afterlife"

thanks

Ok first it is not necessary that you wear black, but it is good etiquette and respectful. Other dark colors would be acceptable. When you walk in there will be a guest book for you to sign. During the service the pastor will talk about the life that that person lived. They will talk about who they married and where they went to school, worked, ect. Friends and Family may get up talk about how they knew the person and how much they will miss them. Then there is a burial. The pastor will say a few words the the pall bearers will carry the casket to the grave and they will bury them.

I've had my period for about 2 and a half years now (i'm 15) and I've still havent gotten the courage to try tampons. I've actually tried it once but it hurt so badly I cried and had to get my gradma to take it out for me. then another time I had my mom in the same room and have her show me but she didn't really help. then I tried by myself because I thought I had the courage.

The actual problem is that I hate the feeling of something touching my vagina. I know that sounds stupid because people get excited when something is in their vagina. but I touch it with my fingers and it feels so weird and not good. is that normal? How can I put in a tampon if I hate the feeling of something touching me there. Like I can't even get the big part of the tube inside. Not like even an inch because I don't like the feeling.

I also have 1 question= How far are you supposed to put in the bigger part of the tube? People say until you can't no more but how far is that? Theirs like 5 rings on the tube and How do I know when to stop pushing the big part in and push the small part?

I could ask my mom again but she doesn't really help me. Please help!

Oh and I use Playtex Gentile Glide. Is that good for beginners? I heard theres a slim or junior something? Is that good?

Make sure that you read the directions right. If you don't like the way thatit feels then try and focus about somthing else and not how wierd it feels. The bigger part should go in until your fingers that are o the applicator touch the area around your vagina. Then use your index finger and push the tube thing until it's completely in. Playtex is a good brand be sure you get the ones for regular absorbency. Slim ones would probably better since the would be smaller and less thick.

Ok, so there is this girl I like and she is basically a year older than me.. But we're both sophmores. I like her alot, but we basically "travel in different circles". But we have known each other for about three months now, and we just started talking like a week or so ago. But we've had the same conversation going for the past week.

The bad thing though is, that she is SO freakin gorgeous and im a nerd that has no chance with her, even though we have SOO much in common. She is basically the girl version of me.

Any ideas on how I can get her to like me?

Oh My Gosh,
I like a nerdy/shy boy who is 1 year older than me. Find out what you two have in common then make some conversation about it. How do you know that she is out of your league? Maybe she really likes you and doesn't have the courage to admit she likes a "nerd". All you can do is try. Find out what she likes and take an intrest in it. You couls always ask her friends for advice. Now you tell me how to get the nerdy guy I like!

im really sad. ive gone the whole break without seeing my boyfriend. ive talked to him, but its not the same. weve been going out for a long time, and this is the 1st time i havent seen him for a while. i miss him very badly. any ideas on how to get (atleast temporarily) my sadness gone and how to make my day a lil happier? any advice welcome. xoxo

Well if you have any pictures of him you could always look at them when you start to feel sad and lonley. Just remember that you are gonna see him again. You could watch movies, go to the mall, or hang out with some friends to pass the time.

do you think birds ever get bored in their cage with the same old toys and other birds?

Yes. Thats why birds should be free. They should be able to fly as far away as they want to and explore everything that nature has to offer.

okay so i have this guy friend...
who ive known for 5 years. he's always liked me but has not admitted it.
so we met back in 7th grade. and we were reallyy good friends
i transferred schools for 8th grade from public to private.
we still kept in touch by email and such.
last summer(of '07), he came through my line at work and i hadnt seen him in years. he soon started working there too.
so supposidly he's good friends with my ex, who i dated last summer up until late october when we broke up for various reasons. but he says he doesnt like my ex cz hes just an as$hole.
so ever since that breakup, we've been tlaking alot. he has a girlfriend who hes been with since april or may of last year('07)
lately hes been like complaining about her but says things like he misses me and he cant stop thinking about me and cant wait to see me again, etc.
so last night after work, he walked with me to my car and we talked for a few. i got in my car and rolled the window down and we talked a bit more. suddenly he says "oh my mom is here" and he kisses me. i was like..uh....ok.
it wasnt just the fact he kissed me, he did like 4 times! practically trying to like makeout with me. i was kinda freaked out.
so i emailed with him last night about it and he was saying things like he has waited so long for that to happen and that im perfect for him and he wants to be with me. yet, hes still with his gf.
what would you do? how would you go about handling this situation?
thanks,

This probably isn't what you want to here but if he leaves his girlfriend for you, who's to say that he won't leave you for some other girl.
