*Cracks knuckles* Alright, lessee. You like the girl, right? She's quiet...she's prob'ly just shy. Shy girls never make eye contact with the guy they like. It's so cute (Ah, middle school luv...)Lol. Even if she doesn't act horridly shy around you and all that - ask her out. Even if she doesn't like you yet, she'll find it flattering and she might go out with you anyway. Give it a shot. You have nothing to lose. Make it casual so she doesn't get nervous. Example:
You:"So what are you doing this weekend?"
Her:"Nothing..."
You:"Me neither...hey, didn't that new movie just come out?" (Or something like that)
Her:"Yeah, [insert name of movie here]"
You:"Wanna go see it?"
It's just that easy. Good luck, Romeo! ;)

I actually don't know..."Normal" is an overused word. Besides, size doesn't matter. It's not how much you have, but how well you use it. ;)

Watch your diet. Eat foods with a lot of water, like carrots, celery, cucumber, lettuce...veggies and the like. Eat a tiny bit less of everything you usually eat. Like try to leave a bite of everything on your plate. (like if I eat a pancake in the morning, I leave one piece on the plate. Lol. Yeah, weird, but ehh...)
Oh, and any time you want a snack, grab a piece of gum instead. Hope I helped!

I've gone though this, so I can feel your pain. The fact that you like your eyes is a start! Now you have to learn to love who you are. You can think you're pretty without thinking you're "all that". Low self-esteem is a big turn off (to guys especially), so your best friend was right. No one is ugly, and no one is not good enough. How would you define "good enough"? Good enough to have all the guys crawling all over you? You don't want that. It's happened to me and it's really annoying. Good enough to be miss popularity? Think about what you're saying, honey. One true lesson I've learned is that you can't love or have anyone really love you unless you love yourself. I hope your self esteem level goes up! You're beautiful no matter what anyone, INCLUDING YOU, says. =)

It doesn't appear to have a cryptic meaning or anything like that. You just wanna grow up. Growing up is fun...but stay young. Young is fun too. When you "grow up," you end up with all this stress and tension from everything. Just stay as carefree as you can for as long as you can. =)

Premenstrual syndrome is hormonal, completely. Some girls get mood swings, others don't. Other girls get migranes, cramps, etc...it happens anytime from a couple of weeks to a day before your period, but it should stop a couple of days into it.
-Siren =)

It hurts some people in different ways. People have PMS because of their hormones, which tend to screw everyrthing up. lol. Hope I helped!

I had an anorexic friend. Try explaining to her the dangers of anorexia. Also try to find out the reasoning behind the anorexia. If it's because she thinks she's fat, just keep reassuring her that she isn't. If she doesn't understand, threaten to tell her parents. She won't want that, so she'll probably consider fixing it. If all else fails, do tell her parents. If you need or want more help, talk to me. =)
-Siren

You should never, never try to break a couple up. It's hard to do, and hard on your conscience. Leave them be.
-Siren

Ah, I had one of my exes go for my friend WHILE he was dating me. As for "getting back together with him," once a relationship is dead, it's dead. A relationship is like a fire. Easy to kill, but slightly harder to rekindle. If I were you, I would try my hardest to get over the boy. Breaking people up is both hard to do and hard on your conscience. This person is your best friend. Think about how you would feel if SHE broke you two up. Put yourself in the other person's shoes first, and decide. If you and he are meant to get back together, they will break up and chances are he'll come running back to you. Their relationship seems shaky, so it might happen...don't get your hopes up, though. Good luck. =)
-Siren

Well the only part that might hurt is the "side-effects," such as cramps. Some people get them, some don't. Some people get migranes (headaches), or other things. It's pretty much a nuissance and that's it. =)
-Siren

Age really means nothing. Unless you're worried about maturity. Then I wouldn't reccomend any boy...Lol. If YOU don't mind that he's younger, go for it. *Shrug* =)
-siren

Not unless you want to go for laser surgery. Even then, I don't think it's possible to permanently get rid of them. Makeup, if anything. If you're absolutely desperate, try clinique airbrush concealer. Learn to love 'em. They're part of what makes you who you are. =)
-Siren

Nope. Questions are anonymous. =)
-Siren

Not necessarily. The only accurate way to find out if someone else is on their period is to ask them, lol.
-Siren

Anorexia is an eating disorder. It's mostly girls that have anorexia. They're very self-conscious about their bodies (as most girls are.) Some girls are willing to starve themselves to try to lose weight, which is pretty much what anorexia is. It's also considered a control issue. Anorexics want to control how much food they eat. Hope this helps!
-siren

It's hard to say. Pay attention to the way he acts to other girls. Does he treat you differently? Did he look disappointed when "this kid" tried to kiss you? You gotta pay attention to the little things. They always, always give it away. Good luck!
-Siren

It's my opinion that one should never try to get back into a relationship once it's dead. However, if you want to get back into his heart, you've got to be his friend first. Get close to him again. If it's meant to be, it'll fix itself. =)
-Siren

Heh
From what you've told us, I would say he likes you. But, alas...I'm not in his head, so I can't really tell. But if you really want to know, you're gonna have to ask him. You could just blame it on curiosity if it gets awkward. Good luck! =)
-Siren

As for your title/question, only time will tell. It's good that you got back in touch. Did you ever actually stop dating? Did you two decide so put the relationship on hold? I'm not totally sure what you're asking...If you'd like me to give a little better advice on this, maybe try to clarify your question a little? ^^

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.
