Tell her that some stupid dance team shouldnt be seperating your friendship. That is totally juvinille, and she should realize that that may not be her true talent. Ans for the hitting, tell her that you really are uncomfortable with that and that it really hurts!!

Q: Hi, my friend from church is 18 and shes pregnant. She started going out with a non-christian guy and my youth group thought it wouldent be a good idea. She wont come to church, shes too ashamed. But my church + pastor has told her many times that we wont think of her differently. Because we dont! We love her so much and we wanna help her get through this. I miss her so much, I havent seen her in 2 months. :( She doesnt really like to talk to anyone from church. She only talks to her mom dad & siblings...I want to call her, but im scared cuz her bf might not lemme talk to her..or she might not talk to me..and i wouldent know what to say!! plz help in any way you can:)
Call her, and tell her that you may not agree with what she has done, she is stil special to you, and no matter what you want to help her with the baby. Even go over there and talk to her personally if you have to!! You have to help her so that she doesnt make the horrible mistake of abortion!!

He does know that i care about him soo much.I have been wanting to tell him for the longest time that im in love wit him but i just dont know how. We can be jokin around and he will say sumthing and then i will say yea love ya to. and he just says you dont love me. His cuz even told me that he said he loved me but he wont tell me. I just want to kno how i can tell him b.c i want him to know. plz help!
Dont wait for him, or it'll never happen. One day when you guys are quietly hanging out, turn to him and tell him i love you. You have to loo kdirectly into his eyes so he knows that you arer totally for real.

Q: well i have this friends and she is 13 like me and shes had sex already and might even get married already because her parents dont give a crap about her im really worried about her and i dont want this guy to be with her..wut should i tlel her
Tell her that you dont like her going out with that guy, and then state the reasons WHY you dont want her to. Hopefully she'll see your point. If not, tell her that you cant really hang out with her and him. And if she gets all'Your jelous of me!', then tell her, 'Your my best friend, and you know that i luv u and would never do anything to hurt you!' You never want to ruin a friendship over a guy who isnt even right for her!!

Q: ok well ive been goin out with my boyfriend for 3months then we broke up and got back togther 3weeks later...well i juss saw him friday and i need to kno whats a good way to be comfortable with him..like him holdin me and things i mean im confortable in his arms but my best friend (his cuz) was and is always around and im really self cautious..and i have a lil belly and he says it "sexy" and a "turn-on" for him and he likes to touch it and after a while i was comfortable but it just takes me a lil to get that way...what should i do..???

PS: he asked if he could hav a kiss but his whole family was watchin us from a distance and my BFF was sittin right there and she was (lip talkin) ..."kiss him" and so when he did i moved my head to where he kissed my cheek..he knows i love him but he knows im a lil uncomfortable at 1st but i want that to change..plz help!!
i agree! if you like him, you have to communicate. I know, it sounds very scary, but its true. And if you love him, you should try to feel comfortable when you kiss him. Even in front of his family. Just dont get carried away! And it is kinda cute that he like the lil belli ya have. You found a guy who doesnt care about shape. Hooray!! Now if i could find someone like thath! lol

Q: might be confusing? im sorry if it is, but please read.

so i like this guy named Vick. and he likes me, but he also likes some other girls. and he said that he would ask me out, but his friend Bob likes me. and Bob would kill him if he asks me out. i told Bob that i dont like him like that, just as a friend.

Vick also doesnt think i like him, because i wasnt too touchy feely with him when i hung out with him earlier. however, im never that touchy feely anyways, and i think i was pretty damn flirty. and two of my friends made it very clear to him that i do like him. which is good, i suppose.

i dont know what i should do, i mean, i want him to ask me out, but...i dont know if i should say something to him, or just wait.

what would you do? and if a guy answers this, what would you want the girl to do?
First, i would go up to Bob and be like: 'So, do u think you can hook me up with Vick? Cause ie liked him for a while and i'd really like to go out with him.' By doing that, you let him know that you dont like him. You like Vick. And then, you'll be free to ask him out, and when he says 'What about Bob?' then you can say that he knows about how you guys feel about each other!
Hope things work out for you! =)

Q: well im 13/f n since i was abut hmm 8 or 9 years old i've liked guys n since that way young i've always gotten hurt in someway or another when i was 8 i liked this guy who was like 11 or 12 n now hes 17 or 16 n he hurt me n then so did some other kid whose 15 now n then a bunch of other guys i liked..n now im scared to get hurt again..my heart cant handle it ne more i just want a nice guy but dont wanna get hurt..is that too much to ask??
You dont have to date, but you have to be open enough so that when the right guy comes along, you will recognize him. A lot of girls spoil themselves, and when the one they have been looking for all their lives comes, they just push them away. Its sad.

Q: Well me and this guy lets say him name is bob well bob has like me since the first day of 9th grade... And we were best friends since the 6th grade... Well i found out he liked me and i was shocked cause his my best friend... So we went out and i didnt feel right and i broke up with him... I was so sad cause i hurt him... Well me and bob barely started talking acouple of months ago and he had a girlfriend... and they broke up and he still has feelings for her... Well me and my friends were hanging out in my house and chris called and i went down stairs and they talked and he was like so do u like *me* and he was like ya ill always like her and then she asked do u like *her* and he said ya... Then she was like so who do u choose... And he said i dunno... And by the way me and *her* got into a fist fight at school... Cause we hate each other... But ya what should i do?
You cant go out with him. It'll only bring more drama to your life, and a lot more fist fights if he picks you over her. If you really are interested in him again, then you have to wait untill they have been off for a like long time, because them that'll be lots of trouble.

Q: Ok me and this guy went out in 7th grade i went out with him not cause i liked him cause my friend wanted me to go out with him... Well we went out for like a week and i broke up with him... Well now 10th grade... And i have the biggest crush on him and he likes me too... But he said he doesnt want to go out with me till the middle of the year cause he liked this girl.. (thats now going out with his close friend) But my friend is going to hook us up...Should i go out with him or no
Only if he asks you out (or throught your friend) you never want to ask a guy out if he said he is stuck between two! But it sounds like he was feeling you out to see if you still liked him. I hope you guys make a good couple!

Q: my friend is still inlove with her ex who now has a new girlfriend and we all in job corp so we see eachother all day. She follows them around tries like hell to get them in-trouble and everything. How do i get her to stop. I have talk to her so many times and it NEVER works. But i need her because she is my friend and i'm pergnant now and i just need her with me, but i think she's going nuts. i'm always there for her it's just she's never there for me anymore.
Slap her and tell her that u really need her help! You cant chase around a guy who doesnt have feeling for her. So, make a deal with her telling her that as she helps you out cos your pregnant, you'll help her try to get over him. So you'll both help her. And i hope that your pregnancy goes well!!

Q: Okay, I have this friend, and he's a boy, I'm a girl. I just want to be good friends, but I know (well I guess I don't really know, but I strongly think)that he wants to be more than just friends. And I can't take that. I mean, what would happen if he asked me out and I'd have to say no? What would that do to our friendship....? Do you think I'm leading him on my being his friend? Please, I need help!
Be like, omg, im sorry! Ive always thought of you of a brother!! But, before that, if you dont want to have to deal with that, then you should be like, dang, that guy is HOTT when you are around him and some of your girl friends. And then be obvious that your trying to hook him up with someone, so e gets the picture that you arent interested.

Q: okay well i was at my friends house lets call her julie, and my other best friend lets call him joe, well joe invited me and julie to his house to play flashlight tag, and we did and julie got tagged and well we were running to our hiding spot and he was like remeber that day i said i would give you kissing lessons? [he said he would because i have never kissed before] i was like yeah.. and he was like you still want them? i was like um yeah i guess and he was like you want them tonight? i was like yeah um sure so it was hiding time so me him and julie went by a bush and like all of a sudden his tounge was on my lips not on my mouth because i wasnt ready just like there and i was freaked out and he was like umm... then it was time to go, so we started walking back and he didnt talk to me AT ALL i mean i liked the kiss.. but like was it more then just a kiss?? i mean he asked me randomly PLEASE HELP!!!
Yep, uh huh, he likes you. He thought you were ready, though, so you should tell him that you were looking the other way, and that you are open to another lesson anytime. If he agrees, then he might be crushing on you- hooray!! lol

Q: Ok, well theres this guy that likes me...he sits behind me in math and he is the play that i'm doing for Drama Class. He always looks at me and smiles and he's kinda weird and I dont like him at all. I mean as a friend, ya, but not as anything more. How can i get him off my back?!
i agree with other comment. While you dont want to be mean, you do want to be subtle and effective. Instead of coming up to him and telling him off, just ignore him. zif he comes up to you, you SHOULD answer his question, though, because you never know if the guy you like will see how you treated him and might ask you out!! Only good things come from being nice!!

Q: I don't even know where to start. I am so overwhelmed right now and really mad and upset. First, I have been working at my job for three years now. The past couple of months I have noticed and I admit, I have been struggling, trying to stay motivated but it has been hard. I have not gotten a raise for quite a while and recently more work has been plopped on me. I attend school part time and work full time. I have to work. I actually don't mind working, I just know that what I am doing now is not what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. I have not missed work in over two years. In the past few months I have been late numerous times, but lately I have been doing much better. First, I was romantically involved with a guy who is one of my co-workers. The relationship fizzled out last year around this time of year. I wanted a relationship, he wanted just sex. It took some time to figure that out, but once I did, it ended. He never wanted to do anything together, and whenever there was any talk about doing anything together, he would complain about money, and how that is all women want from him. Bear in mind, there was no relationship and I never asked anything of him, it fizzled out about three months later, the usual time it seems that if things go sour, they go sour. Anyway, it hurt for a good couple of weeks and I thought I had come to terms with it until about a week ago. There had been rumours spreading that he was involved with another one of the women I work with, a women who works,often times, with me. He even came in one day and even told me that rumors were spreading, he did not deny it, or admit to anything. I didn't say much, I figured he was possibly trying to get a rise out of me and I played it really cool. Sometimes I can be a really good actress. Anyway, a couple of days ago, he is working on one of the computers in the back office. He is on the internet and is copying stuff off of his email site. He leaves the copies at this public computer at the desk. I was collecting my work and accidently grabbed the paperwork. It was a note from the women to him, saying that she loved him. Now, my brain says, who cares? So why did my heart sink? Why did he leave that around. This is affecting my work. How do I come to terms with this? I thought that even though things did not work out between us, and we have to work together, we could be friends, but now I think he is just a scum bucket. Part 2 is next.
Ok, the big deal is that you still feel emotionally attached to him. He probably has been circulating the rumors himself, b/c he wants you back. You may be jelous because (1)you think you are ready for what he wants in a relationship, or (2)you think that you can change the way he is now. Sadly, a lot of men are the same. They want sex, and when they cant get it, they try to play on your emotions so that you feel guilty. Why dont youy try to give him the note back and see his reaction. And, if you let what he has done get to you at thejob, then you might need to get a new one. :( Also, try to stay away from him, dont talk about him, and when you remember something about him, try to get it out of your mind by thinking of something else. Why not try to look up quotes for the company during break or spare time instead of wishing that you could talk to him?

Q: Ok... My mother and father r separated, I live with my mom and visit my dad every other weekend. And everytime i visit we have fun until i do something small and it pisses him off. and i HATE IT! He throws fits over the smallest things. I've thought about calling my mom to pick me up whenever he does tht but i dont have the nerve b/c he'll get into a fight with my mom and i hate it. Plus when he gets mad he doesnt talk to me, he just sits there in a bad mood and if its time for me to go he just says bye and gives me a hug when usually he hugs me says he loves me and kisses me. and i need k=to know what to do b/c i'm over it! please help me.
i think what happens is you remind him of your mother. And that probably pisses him off because he still loves her, but things just didnt seem to work out. Although what you do may be part of personality or habit, think about it. Maybe sit down and have a real talk with him every once and a while and see what he has to say about the divorce. A divorce is never easy for anyone.

Q: I live in this small town and everyone is all in everyone's buisness(well the adults are). Anyway, I have big dreams and I really like to accomplish those things. I'm a little smart and people seem to detest me at my school because, I don't get on my hands and knees to try to please them. I have a rule for myself and that rule is to trust my instincts and I really stick to that rule at times. I'm content with who I am , and I am independent . Last year I was friends with a guy and he had a girlfriend . He told me the most ridiculous things about his family, and the thing is that I always stuck with it (although I am in doubt). I support my friends. Last year, I liked this guy, and we used to look at each other and court other people to make each other jealous, but he did that the most. He became popular and became a jock and all, and he's really good at manipulating situations, I guess because we both play chess . Anyways, he goes with another girl and when I saw them together, it stung . It hurt and there's days that I feel as if I'm over him . Recently , I've been wearing make-up and that friend with the most ridiculous things to say- says I needed to take it off but others just stared and gawked at me . Everywhere I went eyes followed and the guy I like looks at me just when I have my head turned . I saw him do this in a mirror . I need tips on how to get over this dude, and why people don't like me . I'm not stuck up. Also, why's my guyfriend acting like a jerk towards me and why can't he be happy for me ? He has a girlfriend . My friend said it was because, he couldn't keep his eyes off of me . Should I stop the make-up thing to save our relationship ? Well, thanks and by .
You need to have a serious talk with your guy friend, because it seems as if he likes you, but he shouldnt have 1. asked someone else out, and 2. he shouldnt make a funk about your personal choices. For girls, make up is like personal hygine. If you ask him why he feels that way, then atleast half of your questions will be answered. Feel free to ask me more questions!
