Well, I'm a second year college student. I have had my share of embarrassing moments, troubling times and I'm not the girl who got all the guys--so at least you'll know my advice is sincere and relatable, not perfect in an imaginary world. Any questions whatsoever are welcome, I'll try my best to answer accordingly.

Can you hate someone and then like them ?
I dont mean like as a friend, I mean "like, like"
them. (link)

Yes, it can definitely happen. Pretty ironic, huh?

Ok. I just got my 3rd period. And I got the biggest stomach cramp ever, 2days a row. Its so bad. How do I make it hurt less or make it go away at all?
I already know about Mitdol, but its not an option right now, so please don't mention that. (link)
| |
Another thing I've done when I've gotten bad cramps, is drinking chamomille tea. It helps a lot.

do girls like giving blow jobs, or is it just something that girls do cuz the guy asks them to? (link)

It honestly depends on the girl.

I have a deep fear of germs and getting sick. Even the thought of catching a regular cold drives me crazy. I was my hands for 10 minutes, and at school, I wear a bandanna that covers my nose and mouth to help keep the germs away. I mean, hey it's not my fault that kids at my school go swimming in 10 degree weather over the weekend, and then catch a cold. Basically Everyone is sick at my school ALL the time.
Some of my teachers get mad at me when I wear my bandanna, but if they make me sit next to, talk to, and help out sick people, why shouldn't I be able to wear it? I'm not going to get sick because of one stupid person. Last week, I skipped alot of my classes just because I sat next to sick people in them and I don't want to get sick. Mainly because I just started working out, and if I'm sick, I won't be able to work out. (yes, working out is REALLY important to me.)
Now my question, I guess my question is, is there anything else I can do from getting sick? Any healthy tips that you can inform me on? (Besides obvious stuff like washing your hands.) Do you think the bandanna is a good idea? I've actually considered wearing a surgical mask but then people would think I'm even weirder.
Also, how possible is it that I'm going to get sick if I sit next to someone sick, for about 45 minutes every day? (Keep in mind that I'm wearing my bandanna over my nose and mouth.) ANY advice you have would be helpful because I'm flipping out right now. (link)

Well I am no expert concerning health and I don't always take the best care of myself. I am a bit of a germophobe too, I wash my hands a lot, hate how they feel after I've touched money or keys. But, I do realize that worrying about germs every second of my life, is just not healthy. The only thing you can do is try to eat healthy and keep exercising *which you do*. Things like orange juice which have vitamin C are supposed to help you with colds and drinking plenty of water which cleans your system. The best thing I can advice you, is to go to your doctor and ask them what is the best way to go about not getting sick.
Good luck.

P.S. I used to carry hand sanitizer too, but one day my friend told me that it's not great to use all the time because it kills all germs, good and bad.

So this Valentines Day, I want to go all out for a gift for my boyfriend. I was thinking of baking him a giant heart cookie with some cute decorations on it, but I thought that it may be too common. I want to do something out of the ordinary for him. I have already tried google, and I couldn't find something unique.
So what do you think could be a cute, creative gift?
And it doesn't have to be something he likes or anything like clothes or things of that nature. (link)
|
I know it's kind of been done, but an album. It allows you to be as creative as you want. You can pics, movie ticket stubs, etc.
Good Luck.

I just found out that my current boyfriend has eaten girls out before. He's done almost everything but have sex with a girl. I, on the other hand, haven't done anything. This creates kind of an uncomfortable situation. He knows that things have happened to me in the past to make me not want to do these things, and he also told me I didnt have to do anything I don't want to. But, I would like to do some things, just not.. a lot of them.
Ohk, so apparently to him, girls dont give good handjobs unless their experienced, Im obviously not experienced and he knows that, but, I dont know, thats one thing I would consider doing if I didnt know he thought girls without experience were bad at it.
Also, (sorry I know this is long) how can I become more comfortable with myself and my body?
Thank you so much! (link)

About the hand job question, I can easily answer. I was in a similar position, not very experienced with a guy who was. He basically talked me through it, so if it is something you want to try, have him show you how he wants you to do it.
About the being comfortable with your body and yourself, you just have to come to accept it. It's who you are, and if you are not happy with it, it's something you can change with a good diet and exercise if you wish to. But remember, a lot of girls don't look like the celebrities on tv, the celebrities on tv don't even look like that.
Good Luck,

15/f (freshman). I'm thinking of going to the University of Texas at Austin to get a degree from the business school there. I'm from Texas, and Texas high school students are automatically admitted into any state school if they are in the top ten percent of their class. My class ranking is 7 out of 355, and when I took the OLD SAT in the seventh grade, I made a 1110. My unweighted GPA is 4.0, and my weighted GPA is 4.3. I'm involved in various extracurriculars. I was wondering, if any of you have experience with UT or any state school, if I continue like this throughout high school, in your opinion, should I be able to succeed at the UT business school? Thanks. (link)

Well, I'm a first year at UF this year and I did fairly well in high school. I was in the top 2% I was involved in a lot of clubs, and my SAT scores were average. I went through my first semester and did fairly well. It's more about your dedication to your work and your ability to not get too sidetracked with other things that will get you far, because you obviously have the intelligence for it. So, I say as long as you have your mind set on working hard, you'll be more than fine.
Good Luck,

I am 28 now, graduated from high school 10 years ago. I am taking part in planning our high school reunion and I was looking through my old yearbooks, for phone numbers and stuff. I came across a note from a guy I always knew was in love with me, but he was a nerd so I never gave him a chance. I was good friends with him, when no one was looking. I always kinda had a crush on him too, but could never go there. I remember him writing this note, but I guess I never really looked into it.
Here is what he said in 11th grade:
"Well, what a crazy year! It went by too fast. By the way, the reason why I didn't go to the prom was because I didn't know how I could handle seeing you with your date. Oh well, I have to live with that now. I'm sure you kow my feelings about you. But I know you just want to be friends. I can handle that. Until then, see you in my dreams. Your Imzari, Rob"
He never would tell me what Imzari meant, and of course none of my friends knew. And this was before you could just look up anything on the internet :)
Here is what he said senior year:
"I really can't say anything more. I guess I have already said it all. See you in 20 years. Love, Rob"
I spoke with him maybe twice since then. We have both grown up and got married. I am happy, but I do sometimes think of him.
I looked up what Imzadi meant today, it means soulmate, beloved, first. It's roots are in fantasy but it's conception is in the soul. How deep is that?? Oh my god, it made me cry! I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!
My question is, what do I do when I see him? I want to tell him that I was sorry for letting my social status get in the way of how he felt about me and how I secretly felt about him, and I want to tell him that I looked up the word Imzadi and I know what it means. We are both married, and I am happy- I am not looking to leave my husband or anything, I love him. But I am wondering if it is appropriate to say those things, or maybe I should just leave it alone. Maybe I should just give him a hug and say how happy I am to see him. I really do want him to know that I am sorry, and that I looked up that word. I just don't want to cause any problems.
What do you think???

I think you should just let it go. You have both gone your separate ways, and telling him that may cause problems, though it is not your intention.

What excactly is friends with benifits?

So about 4 months ago i "met" this guy while i was on holiday, the only words we exchanged were hello, we met through a mutual friend.. but the attraction was instant. A few days later i left but he managed to get my msn adr. and we have been speakin ever since i am very shy when it comes to speakin to guys face to face but he is the exact oposite, he keeps telling me how much he likes me and how he wishes i would go back, and that we will get together. Thing is i will be going back in a few weeks and i just dont know how to act when i see him and im worried he will get a diferent impresion when we see each other face to face. So any advice would be good.
Thanx! :) (link)
|
If anything, when you see him again the attraction will be stronger, for the simple fact that you guys have been talking. Don't try to act like someone else, don't try to act cool if you are really shy. He's gotten to know the shy you, so that may be a turn off if you change. Also guys sometimes like shy girls, makes them think they are cute and charming. So just be yourself. Thinks work out better that way.
Good Luck.

I'm going to a dinner party today. Well, actually, it's at lunch time so technically it's not a 'dinner' party, but oh well. Anyway, it's indian themed - the food, decorations. The geusts don't have to dress indian. It's just, I don't know what to wear - and what to do with my hair and makeup. I want to look classy, but casual at the same time seeing as it's in the day. I'd also like to add some little indian touches (maybe jewellery, hair or makeup).
So, have you got any ideas?
Thanks, xxx (link)
|
I'm not too familiar with Indian culture, so hopefully this helps a little. You can wear bangles in like reds or golds. And your clothes can have some red and gold colors in it as well. Hope that helped.

im very shy i like a girl i think she likes me me flirt and stuff on msn and i really want to ask her out but im to shy i need ur help (link)
|
Well if you really like her, you have to ask yourself this...will you regret not asking her out? If the answer is yes, then you have to just do it, even if it means doing it though instant message. Think of this way, you are going to do something you are absolutely nervous and shy about, but if you ask her out, and she says yes then you get the girl. It is even worth it if she says no, because then you won't be wasting your time on something that would never happen and you won't have to wonder...hmm would so and so ever have dated. You would have a definitive answer. Just do it! At the end, you'll feel better. It should serve as a learning experience anyway, once you have asked another person out, it should help you feel less shy.
Good luck!

Hi, I am going to dress like a BIG TIME girly girl. I need to know what to wear! And plese tell me the truth about what to wear because all I wear is baggy shirts with jeans!
(link)
|
I am considered a very girly girl, and for one thing I don't always wear dresses and skirts (but I must admitt, I love to dress up in them as much as I can). Jeans are appropriate to wear if they fit well, but the baggy shirts are not girly. I would suggest that you get a lot of shirts that fit well and accessorize to have a girly look (bracelets, headbands, necklaces, earrings, etc..). As for sweaters go, you can wear coats, they are just so feminine. You can also sort of emulate some tv character, for example Charlotte from Sex and the City, she is pretty much the epitome of girly girl. Remember though, make sure this is something you want to do, and not being pressured to do from other people and lastly don't feel like you need to wear ten pounds of make up to look girly and attractive.
Hope that helped.

I have an essay and I'm looking for a few ideas.
It must be six pages... and it must be about how the world is in the future or something that will happen in the future. Examples: WWIII, when Canada and US meet, etc.
My topic is that the future is pretty much the same, because life today is pretty good.
Wouldn't everything still change because of global warming and things like that?
Any ideas on how to make my essay work will be so much appreciated! (link)
|
Things will always change, it's a part of life.
I'm not very informed in global warming, but things such as deforestation for building purposes, may make trees extinct and only visible in museums. People's apathy toward their government and the environment itself will be greater. Just look at important issues and notice how much emphasis people place on them.
Hope that helped.

ok i have had boyfriends before, but i have never kissed them. they asked me to, but i wouldn't because i didn't want them to think i was a bad kisser. this is kinda an akward question to ask, but how are you supposed to kiss? thanks!!!
(link)
|
I know this is going to sound useless, but honestly just go with the flow. Don't overthink it because then you will probably be nervous and awkward. For my first kiss, I let him kiss me and just went with the flow, and really that's what most people do. Have fun with it. =]
Good Luck.

hey i was just wondering if there were people out there (or here on advicinator) that think that what hitler did was ethical and support him?
Because i totally dont and i was wondering what were there reasons for thinking so (link)
| |
Hitler was given too much power and eventually abused of it. However, he was able to get away with what he did because he appealed to the people. I heard that at first he helped Germany, by like making it a cleaner and better place to live. I suppose he pretty much brain washed people into thinking that those of the Jewish faith were their enemies and people were easy to believe him because he was improving their way of life, scary huh? I guess the people who support him are Nazis and those who believe in Aryan supremacy.

at my school, we go back to on monday because we were on winter break for 2 weeks. well as most of you ive been staying up really late.. from 1-4 a.m. and i have to go to bed for school at 9:30 because i have to wake up early. the problem is that im not gonna be able to fall asleep that early! any tips? please dont say go to bed early for the last couple of nights because i cant.. i babysit basically from 8 PM-2 AM tomorrow and so thats not a posibility.. also me and my cousins are having a sleepover on saturday and we go to bed really late. any tips on falling asleep quickly on sunday night? (i definitely cant cancel any of the plans) thanks bunches! (link)
|
Watching tv and listening to music never works for me, because it instead draws my attention and keeps me up longer. I know this may sound a little nerdy, but I've always found reading in bed to get me really sleepy. Try reading for a little while until you are sleepy, then just lie in bed with the tv off and the lights off, and you may just fall asleep from being bored. =]
Good Luck with that.
