Firstly, confidence is the key. Obviously you'll be nervous doing it, but you've gotta ACT cool. Act like you're asking him what his favourite band is. Secondly, be casual about it. Start talking about your weekend, and say something like "There's this movie I want to see, would you like to come along?" Ease your way into asking him, but don't beat around the bush for too long or he may get angry. I'm sure he'll say yes, but if he doesn't at least you'll know hoe he feels and you can get over him. Good luck. :)

If people have told you that you have a good voice, you have a good voice. Recordings always distort your voice and make it sound a lot worse than it actually was. I used to have a radio show, and once my friend taped it for me.. and I was shocked about how terrible I sounded! But a lot of it is probably that you're being too hard on yourself at the same time. If someone else heard the recording, I bet they wouldn't share your point of view. My friends always thought I sounded great on radio, even though I thought I sounded terrible. So a lot is really about how confident you are with your ability.

Get someone else to listen to it (someone neutral if you like, doesn't have to be a friend) and see what they say. I almost guarantee they'll think you sound good!

Hmm.. I'm not saying what she did was justified, but some people don't know how to deal with things like that. She probably didn't want to say the wrong thing. Still, I agree that she should be there for you no matter what. I'm just trying to see it from her perspective.
If your girlfriend doesn't seem to be helping, tell someone else. I'm sure you have other friends. You could tell your parents as well, but if you don't feel comfortable with this, tell another trusted adult. Or alternatively talk to a counsellor. People are trained to deal with this type of thing.
I don't know what you're going through, but put it into perspective. Is it going to matter in a month's time, a years time? Is it worth throwing your entire life away? No matter what it is, the answer is no. There's always an alternative to suicide, turn your life around, get certain people out of your life.

"Certaintly blah blah blah"
Or "Ultimately, blah blah blah"
Or "It is apparent that blah blah blah"

It would really help if you told us what exactly the essay what on though..

Godm, do I know how that is! Breaking the ice is what you need to do. Ask him what he's up to this weekend, and see how it progresses from there. Alternatively, you could ask him what kind of music he listens to, and take a keen interest in it. If you show interest in what he's talking about, it'll be a lot easier and more comfortable for the both of you. You can also ask him if he's seen any new movies lately, and see how that goes.

Let me know how that goes, and if there's no success, leave me a message in my box and I'll help you out a bit more.

It's possibly you're not getting enough fiber in your diet, so your body isn't getting rid of wstes as efficiently. It could be constipation possibly...

Whatever the case, eat foods rich in fiber such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and wholegrains. If this doesn't help, ask at your Drugstore for something to help.

It's nice that you care so much about your ex, but you've gotta do what makes YOU happy. Don't just do what HE wants so you don't hurt him. He needs to accept that the relationship is over now and stop getting upset when you go for other guys. Explain to him that you still care about him deeply, but not in that way anymore and you hope that you two can remain friends still. Say it gently, but be forceful. He needs to get the message, so hopefully he'll leave you alone and go for someone else.

good luck~

If she likes someone else, then there's really no need for her to stay with her boyfriend. Breaking up with him will be hard, but breakups are unfortunately inevitable. If she stays with him, she won't be happy, and as nice of her it would be to stay with him to spare his feelings, it's her life and she shouldn't just stay with him to make him happy. The relationship cannot work if one party has lost their feelings for the other and will be doomed to fail in the end anyway, so tell her it's probably better she ends it now rather than on a bitter note.

I'm sorry that it's not you that she likes. But in the future, anything could happen. Feelings may develop, especially if you stick by her and give her good advice.

Possibly, but it could also mean that he didn't want to tell your friend what he thought because he thought she'd spread it around, or because he just plain doesn't like her.
It's not a good idea getting friends to ask someone what they think of you, because very rarely do people tell their true feelings to someone else, especially someone who they don't now very well. If you want to know, it's probably best to ask him yourself upfront. Alternatively, just suss him out for a while until you feel comfortable with him.

good luck~

Quite simply, you can't tell if he likes you for real. Him seeming to flirt with you more may be just wishful thinking from your part and basically "seeing what you want to see" (which a lot of people do when they have a crush on someone) Really, you don't need me to tell you this, but your best bet is to find out. Ask him to the movies with you or something, or if you feel tht's too forward ask him and his friends to come with you and your friends, and then see how it goes from there.

good luck.

I'd say the most likely explanation is that the people you've been talking about him have been spreading stuff about you two, and he found out. He may be a little freaked out by this. It's not a good idea to tell anyone who you like, as it ALWAYS spreads. You just can't trust people.

Your best bet now is to ask him directly if anything is up. Just ask him how he is and see how he responds. You'll be able to tell from his body language if there's something wrong.

Sometimes, when a guy knows a girl likes him, he start to flirt with them and "lead them on" so the girl continues liking him. Having a girl like them is like an ego boost to them and they appreciate the attention. He may have figured out that you like him, and want it to continue, but may only see you as a friend.
Saying this, though, he may have lied to your friend about liking you. He may not want his feelings to be made public as we all know how fast goss spills.

Your best bet is to find out how he really feels yourself, and it's better to do it soon. That way you'll know whether you're wasting your time on someone or not. Good luck.

You seem a little unsure about it, which indicates you don't feel ready.
Older guys always want to do more because they're used to getting it. It's perfectly okay for you guys to go out, but you shouldn't feel pressured to do anything more than you're willing to do, because you may regret it later. If I were you, I'd take it slow at first and let things progress. Jumping to oral straight away would perhaps not be a good idea.

By the way, you're not a whore. Plenty of people do it. It's just a matter of when to do it and whether you feel comfortable with it.

Just because he says he doesn't like anyone doesn't mean anything. He just doesn't want people knowing probably because, well, you know what gossips people can be. The smallest peice of information can spread really fast.
It sounds like he's interested. You can never be totally sure of people's actual thoughts and feelings, but it really does sound like he likes you. Your best bet now is to get closer to him. You already share a class with him, so there's an opportunity for you two to talk. He's obviously too shy to make the first move, so it's up to you. If you're too embarassed to talk to him face to face, get his IM off someone.

A lot of girls practice on their female friends just because they feel comfortable doing it with them. It doesn't make them a lesbian by any means. Haven't you seen Cruel Intentions? :P

Don't feel weird about it. It's a totally normal thing for teenagers to experiment, especially with their close friends.

I don't see why he wouldn't want to go if you're good friends! It wouldn't be weird at all - lots of people bring dates to dances who aren't in the same year. I'm sure he'd love to go along for a good time. How could he pass that up?
Just mention that it's coming up, and see how he reacts. Then hint that you were thinking that maybe he would like to go with you. Don't force it or come on too strong at first. And emphasize it's just as friends! If he says no, be strong about it and don't be too disappointed. I'm sure he probably has a good reason - he's your best friend, right? :o)

Sparknotes is good, but cliffsnotes.com is even better because it goes into a lot more detail.

Brilliant site:

Here's a few more:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_programming_language (Some info about the history of it and how it's used, etc)

Good luck with it. It's tricky at first, but you'll get the hang of it.

I can see why he's angry because you were listening without his consent. Whether he truly hates you is something only he knows. He could have just been saying that to your friend because he didn't want her knowing his true feelings. There's a number of possibilities; you can never tell with people whether they really mean what they say. You could try ringing up or sending him an email and apologising and explain to him you just wanted to know the truth. Then ask him if this is how he truly feels about you, and why. You deserve an explanation. If he can't grant you that, then yes, it's best to forget about him.

Having a girlfriend doesn't stop guys from finding other girls attractive and flirting. They ALL do it, and don't consider it cheating.. although the girlfriends usually do. xP It definitley sounds like he's interested; he probably wishes he had met you before he had a girlfriend. But right now there's really nothing you can do until they break up. Just keep being friends with him and see what happens. It's up to him what will progress between you two.

Good luck
