Q: my bf broke up with me about 4 months ago. actualy,my bf's friend-lets call him joey)broke up with me for my bf-lets call him mike)when joey broke up with me for mike,mike was at joeys house.my 3 bffs told me that mike said he didnt want to break up with me and that joey just said that mike was breaking up with me.they talked to mike after the breakup(i didnt ask them to)and he said joey told me that him and me were over so he was afraid to call me.so i called mike last night cuz i just found out about the whole thing and he said that wasnt how it happened.but i know that my friends would never lie to me,specialy about that.then i told him i couldnt stop thinkin bout him and i think i gave him a bit of a shock cuz after i told him he couldnt say anything.i could tell he was tryin to say somethin n i know he doesnt have a gf but then i said he should come hang out with me and all my friends he's friends wit and he said ok n he said he would come.do you think he still likes me?we havent had relationships after we got broken up...do you think he still likes me and should i give him some time to think? thx,blind n confused

Well since he said ok to hanging out, then he might like you. When your hanging out just flirt a lot and hint to him that you still like him. Maybe something will happen..good luck

Q: any ideas for convo starts for a shy girl wanting to talk to a ghetto popular guy?

Have a friend go up to him first, and have the friend say that the shy girl wants to talk to him. Then he'll probably go up to the shy girl and talk to her

Q: I know this isn't advice I need. It's just a simple question =). I was wondering, does anyone know any places to get music for your pages? Thank-you.

www.xanga.com/xanga_music --right click on your song, click properties, and copy/paste the URL.

Q: well do u guys know that quote..

let the person you love go and if they come back they were meant to be yours??

well i never believed that quote..until i met *ben* in 6th grade but then i told ppl i didnt like him n then durin 7th grade i kinda forgot abut him but then like the quote said in 8th grade *ben* came back..

were we meant to be??

tnxs nd i rate high

Lol storage, anyway..When your in like 8th grade, I think most of the guys you are with that its not meant to be. Maybe when your older like 18 or something. But now its different...because your young and have your whole life ahead of you. if you like ben, go for him!

Q: ok, well i like my guy friend AND his best friend? i know my guy friend is closer, even thought i think he's mad at me rightn now, but his friend is soo hott!! and he's not THAT hott, but he's pretty good lookin ;)! lol and he has the best qualities!!

Help?

Just hang out with both of them, which personality do you like most? And who do you have things in common with?

Q: Hey! this is WoWsERs123! well does anyone know any good icon makers? where you can make your icons for free? because i am making my cousin an icon with his football mascot picture thats says 8-3 great season boys! please respond ASAP!

Go to www.buddyicon.info and click "dolls" go through some of the doll pages and under the description of the icon people will say "IM me at _____ for a icon I do requests!" Theres lots of screen names..and I have a tip..dont be mean or rude if they take too long cuz then they wont even do it for you.

Q: how do you get rid of dead skin on your face?! I've tried everything, exfoliators, expesnive lotions..etc etc...and nothing seems to be working. I was just wondering if there was any home remedy or something that would make my skin smooth and flakey free? Thank you.

Aloe Vera, my friend had it very very bad, and he put aloe vera and he also sorta peeled it off..

Q: There is this guy I'm going out with, and theres also this girl that is kind of my friend, though I find her annoying sometimes. Anyways, before we were going out, my friends all dared me to go hug the guy, because everyone knew he liked me. Hugging is no big deal to me, so I did. The other girl went up to me and told me never to hug him again. I asked her why, and she said, "Just don't." So I just shrugged and went away. Some time after that, he asked me out, and the day after we went to a museum on a field trip. My boyfriend bought me a necklace and it was very pretty. I didn't want to make him think I didn't like him, so I pretty much wore it every day. After a week, the girl told me never to wear the necklace again. I asked her why, and she said "Because it bothers me." I got kind of pissed but stayed under control and kept wearing the necklace. The girl obviously likes my man, or she's just jealous that she doesn't have one. How can I tell her that I don't want her butting in all the time? I don't want to cause any fights.

You need to just plain out tell her. Just say its your boyfriend, and you can do what you want with him and stuff. And if she doesnt listen, and still continues to stay stuff to you..you should start getting mad or yelling. because i hate when people dont get the message the first time, so yelling is all you can do..and hopefully she'll get it through her head. but tell her ur still her friend but she needs to shut up

Q: As a post-election project. My teacher wants each of us to write and give an oral report about which party we support and why.
I am a communist, and communists tend to be frowned upon and I wouldn't feel right not doing it because I'm afraid of what other people would think.
So, should I do it on communism, or just pretend to be a republican?

Yeah, everyone should get a chance to voice their opinions-and if you tell everyone they might even think about commiunism and you never know-maybe they'll wanna be a communist too.

Q: ok here is the thing...im in 9th grade and so are my 2 friends..i know one of my friends since 7th grade and one since last year (8th) and well they went out from like 01/06/04 to yesterday (11/04/04)...she broke up w/ him bc he wasnt a boyfriend type person who didnt do much..they basically acted like friends who kissed (pecked) nothing else...anyways she broke up w/ him in front of me, my friend kevin and becky outside @ dismal...and after this happened becky was trying to get them back together..and it didnt work and he walked off w/ our other friend matt and she started crying as the 4 of us (me, her..becky and kevin) were walking to the busses..and we took turns holding her and all..then i was talking to her on-line and all last night and she said how she was still crying and i said well you made a good point and all about dumping him..dont keep saying to your self "why did i do that" ...and all..today she came into english crying, and my friend and i were just holding her and all....and we stood there for like 5 minutes and all..she showed me a note he wrote to her and inside was a poem of goodbye and all..and the teacher sent her and my friend to the time out room *basically guidence but all they do is listen to ur problems and thats basically all* and they came back after like 5 mins and she was all calm and etc..then 6th period lunch i was talking to my friend about what was gonna happen 9th period bc we all have study hall etc...it came to 9th period..we didnt even sit at the table...we sat on the floor in the corner of the caf..and after the others decided to ask to get a table open they sat at the table and i remained on the floor w/ her..and at one point i got up and went over to him and asked if he was mad at her bc she wanted to know..so i asked and he said "yeahh bc there was no good reason for why we broke up" and i came back and i told her and she says "yeah there is he didnt act like a bf!" and i said "yeah i knoww i agreeee" then i went back and i asked him why he didnt want to be friends w/ her anymore and he said " i didnt say that! im just steamed i need time to cool off" and i said "then?" he said "then we may become friends again" and i asked "like a month?" and he said " i just need time to cool off" and i went back to her and told her..and she told me to tell him something i dont remember what and that she stilled loves him and i went and told him..and he like "i dont caree" and i went back and i told her..and she was holding a braclet in her hand that she always wears and i know she wasnt trying to cry and i could see it her eyes that she wanted to but she didnt want to do it in front of him..and im not quite sureee...

any advice anyways ways of helpin her??? thx

Just tell her she can find other guys, because there are going to be new guys. Trust me! She will cry for a while, but just tell her one day she'll get over him and find a new and better guy. it just takes time, but when she crys just be there for her. So yeah day by day it will get better!

Q: What are the chances of getting pregnant if you had sex without a condom.. but he took it out before he busted?

*please don't delete this time mods, i really need some answers. i'm scared to death for my friend.

Well, you could still get pregnant because theres pre-cum and yah..even if he took it out some cum could have gotten in you

Q: Ok. So I'm a junior and I like this guy whos a senior. I have a sister whos a senior and she told this guy that I wanted him. The guy told my sister that I was fine as h*ll and asked why i never talk to him or ask him for his number. well that was 2 weeks ago nand then my sister told me this weekend that he said: why dosent your sister ever come and talk to me? well... i see him all the time and he never talks to me either.... so what sould i do? should i wait for him to talk 2 me? should i talk 2 him (i'm kinda shy around guys i like) or wHat? haha thanx!

Go up to him and talk to him! he wont reject you since he wants to talk to you and all. If you want, have a few friends go with you..You shouldent wait for him because what if he's waiting for you to come up to him? Who knows..just talk to him and have fun:D flirt too:)

Q: Alright, I'm a 13 year old female, in the 8th grade. There's this guy I really like... he's smart, gets way good grades (like the only guy I've liked who gets better grades, haha) athletic, nice, popular. I could go on, but let me get to the point. I've liked him for about 2 months now, and I keep thinking he likes me. I've heard 2 people say he does. So a few days ago, lots of my friends found out, since we were playing truth or dare, and everyone was like "Aww, how sweet you like so-and-so." And most of them seemed to think that he likes me too, but I'm not really sure anymore. Today at school one of my friends who found out totally wanted to tell him I liked him, and then I saw her go over and talk to him... She said that she had asked if he liked me, and he said yes. I was like, in a sarcastic way, right? But she said no that he was serious. I find that hard to believe though. So then she said he should ask me out and he's like, why, so I can face rejection again? And my friend was all, well maybe. Ugh I was sorta mad cuz she pretty much made it obvious I like him. I'm just wondering what I should do.. should I tell him I like him or what?!! I'm just worried that if I do he won't like me back and then things will be weird between us. And if he does like me, and we decide to go out.. well that worries me a little bit too because I heard that he's sort of perverted, he just doesn't show it as much as other guys. And the only thing I've ever done is hug guys. I'm willing to go as far as kissing/making out but I think my parents would freak if they found out. Arrgh.. please help! Sorry it's so long.

She already made it obvious you like him, so then I think you should just tell him! He already sorta knows, you just have to confirm it:) Just be like "Hey___ I really like you, your a cool guy" Now maybe your thinking "omg is sherry on crack I could never just tell him that" Well, thats the only way to make sure he knows for sure. Yeah your friends can give him hints, and tell him but he really, truly knows for sure when you tell him. Its not that hard to tell guys, well before it is..your heart starts beating, you sweat a little..its nerve racking but once its done, its done and you feel good. I told a guy I liked him, and I experienced like a heart attack but after I told him i was so happy, even though I didnt get the response I wanted. So what I'm saying is, tell him no matter how nervous you are. If you want a friend to go with you, then you could do that. You need to tell this guy your feelings, and if he doesnt say anything right away..thats ok! He'll probably think about what you said the rest of the day/week and talk to you about it if he likes you or wants to get to know you better. If he doesnt seem intrested, thats ok too. Your 13, lots of times your heart will be broken, lots of times you'll be in love..so if hes not into you...find a new guy. And I dont know about you, but I find different guys to like fast. Because guys are so hott! l0l! Good luck and if you need any more help..ask me!!!

Q: ok im a 14/f -n- im about 5'5 i weigh 115 pounds. Is that a good weight??? I feel fat even thought i kno i dont weigh as much as sum of my friends. I feel like i need to lose weight. I only eat one meal a day. Im really worried about myself. Plz help. Thanx!!!

you are so not fat! Average weight for 5'5 is around 140 lbs!!! You are way below that, so start eating more. Eating 3 meals a day doesnt mean your going to gain weight as long as you do some sort of exercise a few times a week, your fine! Start eating..food is awesome!

Q: ok one of my friends came over and she was like come with me and i went so we went too this kids house i met him be for but i didn't really no him and my ex-boyfriend was there that i went out with for 6½ months and he was going out with his new girlfriend for almost 5 months and so we were their and he was stoned and i started to get stoned and me and him started too do sexual things and we had sex..=/ and then the next morning he woke up with his hands down my pants and this kid we slept @ told his g/f !! and now everyone knows? what do I do!? - from my friend not me!!! =o)

You cant really do anything, but your ex and his girlfriend are going to have problems. They will probably break up. And when they break up, its you and your ex's desicsion to go out again or not. If people ask you about it, say its none of their buisness cuz its not. You had sex, and if you regret it, ok. But if you dont regret it, dont take crap from people.

Q: hey guys.... ok... i have sorta been going out with this guy... like... he introduces me as his girlfriend but he wont officialy ask me out... lol... ne way... this past saturday... at a party... i was REALLY drunk and kissed another guy... my sorta boyfriend (ben) got really mad and really wants to beat the guy (JJ) up... but ben and i were talking on the phone rite after he found out (i was going to tell him... but some bitch beat me to it) and he kept on saying "i dont kno y im not breaking up with you..."and kept saying how pissed he was... but then he didnt call me all weekend... so i am really afraid he is gonna break up with me... this is the first boyfriend i have had tat i really truly like... and yes... i totally fucked myself over... i kno... but i guess this leads to a couple of questtions... (1) do you think he will break up with me? and (2) how can i talk to him and work this out?... i really like him not only as a boyfriend but a really close, good friend to... it would totally suck to lose him... help me please

You need to talk to him and say that you were drunk, and you messed up and ask him to forgive you. Ask him if he's gonna break up with you, we wont know..good luck

Car wash, sell some of your old stuff, and your familys old stuff, babysit, do chores around the house for money, save up allowance if you get allowance. All i can think of..you could search fundraisers under google and it will probably give you great sites with good ideas on how to make $$

Q: well its weird im 12 and my gf is 14 and she asks if i want to have sex wut should i say

Your kinda too young, so I dont really suggest it..Because you could get her pregnant and all. But if you want to, and you do have sex..make sure you use protection!
