Q: okay well theres this boy.. hes 15 i think and im 13/f
hes the kinda guy who does drugs, drinks, does stuff with girls, everything like that..
hes really nice to me and he talks to me a lot. he says he likes me but idk if he really does cuz he might just be fooling around. he touches me in the halls n stuff but him and his gf of 6 or 7 months just broke up a few days ago because he made out with someone else and lied to his gf about it. well some of my friends are sayin i should ask him out but idk what he will say. what do u think? thanks! :) (sorry so long)

You could ask him out, but think about what your getting yourself into. He's a cheater, and he'll probably cheat again when hes drunk or something. And he does drugs and all, and personally I think thats gross but If your ok with it then thats cool. You might be happy with him for a while, but once he cheats on you or hurts you..the pain will last longer than that happieness. This guy doesnt sound like a great guy, I dont suggest going out with him.

Q: Okay, I don't know if your any good at this but I've known this guy Mick since I was 5 pretty much (I'm 18 now), we have a good friendship and everything then his bro. comes and asks me if I would possibly go out with Mick, I told him yeah, so about a week later Mick and I were hanging out in my truck listening to music, and he asked me out and verything started going good till we went to a competition for band and he met this other chick from Dyer County named A.C. and she wouldn't leave us alone and about 3-4 days later we broke up but we're still friends and hangout out and everything, but the thing that bothers me is that one minute he'll act like he still likes me more than a friend (He still does, he told me himself) then he'll act like he hates me when his bro. Justin will stick us on the same shift to work for the ballgames, Justin's meaning to stick us together like that because he doesn't like the Dyer County chick either and she lives 2 hour away, he doesn't have a car or liscense and can only talk on the phone for about 15 min. at a time and I know so much about him and I'm one of the people that can get him to talk when he gets pissed. she's all into pot and she doesn't care how she looks and she's not good for him. Should I try and get back with him by looking all cute and irresistable around him because it drove him mad one night when I was joking around with some guys that are just friends that I would never do anything with. or what? please help me.
oh, I'm 18 and a white girl, and Mick's a 18 guy.

If you want him, go for him. But just talk to him about the dyer county chick and ask him if he still likes her and stuff..and then tell him your still open to a relationship with him. You guys are really good friends, so talking about this shouldent be un-comfortable just talk to him about the chick, and if he doesnt like her anymore ask him if he wants to be with you. Good luck!

Q: what would the average weight for a 5 year old whos 3'5 be?

44-55 lbs, i got it from am-i-fat.com but it usally isint true because it depends on your muscle and body and all.

Q: so far me and my boyfriend have had the PERFECT relationship. we've been going out for 10.5 months and i dont know what to get him for our 1 year anniversary?? what should i get him? do i get him anything?? do i make him something?? if so what?? HELP!!

What does he like? Video games? a card with money? Gift certificates to music, clothes, food places etc. Just think about what he likes and maybe ask his mom or dad for ideas.

Q: is there a way to block coments from certain ppl? some ppl say stupid or mean stuff and its not very nice. anyone reading this that does that ,also, could u stop? thanx

Nope, moderators on here have tried to get them banned, but MFS (one of the top people on this site) said to just ignore them, and not to worry about it. And only to worry about it if they threaten someone or something.. You'll get used to it trust me, and they'll soon leave anyway when they get bored.

Q: I am new to Windows XP. Is there a way I can see a list of all the fonts on my system and display them so I know what they look like? I use to be able to do this on my old system.

Click on "My Computer" on your desktop.
Look for the "Control Panel" link thats on the bottom left side column. Then click "Fonts" then click the font you want to see, and a new window will come up with an example of the font.

Q: What does it mean if somebody says "your hair is nappy"?

Has all nots in it, its not nice looking, its just your hair is always gross and not brushed and stuff

Q: I need to lose some weight. I am so unhappy with myself, I try so hard to lose weight but can never go through with it. I need some advice with this. I am a very pretty girl and I have nice boobs and a butt my gut is just so big. I am 5'1 and I way 150. I want to lose 30 pounds. I need some advice on ways to do it. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm ok I think this was from the other question so heres my answer:

Hey, ok you can do all those diets that everyone loves but you always gain the weight back. You need to change your lifestyle and stick with it for a while so you can lose the weight. Eat 3 meals a day, no snacks in between unless their like a apple or something. Also, make sure the snacks are small. only drink water and crystal light. NO soda and juice..its all sugary andif you just cut back on that you'll lose lots of weight. For a few weeks cut back on ALL junk food..but after a while you can always have something sweet but not all the time. Exercise a lot..start walking for 20 min a day, then a few days after walking, jog, and then after a few days of jogging start running. I know lots of people who did this for a few months, lost a lot of weight. They then, stopped and gained ALL the weight back. So just stick to it, eat healthy and exercise and you'll lose the weight plus keep it off. Do pilates for your legs, get a pilates video at walmart, target, etc. for $10. Good luck.
Ohh and another thing, it takes a while to lose the weight...and dont depend on what the scale says, because that will get you angry..instead, pay attention to how loose your clothes are

Q: I need a good way to lose weight, I NEED to lose 30 pounds. Please just help me.

Q: What do you think is the scariest movie you have ever watched... I need some ideas for some really scary movies

Texas Chainsaw massacre..the exorcist

Q: Ok, don't think I am crazy or anything, I just DO NOT like scary movies. I end up thinking about them long after I have watched them. Now, I know the best idea is not to watch them, but unfortunatly I don't always have that choice. Any good techniques besides the simple "Remember that it is fake?" Thanks

Close your eyes when a scary part comes, or hold on to someone real tight haha..or just run out of the movies, house, etc.

Q: I moved to Colorado, and i lived in cali, and i dont like colorado what should i do? . . .my parents are bungholes and i think im kinda stuck wit em, whats da best way to meat new peoples when u move?

How about, your school? Join a club/sport team around your area..Join a church if you believe in God, maybe?

Q: hey, 2morro is halloween, and i was wondering, wat would b some things yu could do with a couple friends? we're in 8th gradeee. thx =)

Go trick or treating! Your never too old to do it, wether your 5 or 50!! Everyone loves free candy! haha Or you can just hvae a little party at one of your houses, watch movies, play games, talk about the latest rumors and all.

Q: lately i have been feeling depressed!!...HONESTLY! i have nothing to be upset about...its just i dont even know!!...im not sure why i feel this way, but i just feel all shity and lazy, and i just wanna sit there, or lay in bed and start crying without thinking of anything!! does anyone know what is wrong with me?!

Are you a teenage girl? Yeah thats normal, I cry about a lot of stupid stuff too and I get myself depressed even though theres nothing to be depressed about. Dont worry you'll get over it! Just try to stay positive:)

Q: Ok this may sound really weird but lately ive been having this thick white discharge. Does any1 know what that can be and why im getting it? 16/f

You get it before or after your period. I'm not sure..but dont worry. Its normal..

Q: i have this really long closet...and im just wondering if there is any ways i can re-organize...

Take out all the clothes in the closet, go through it and throw/give away to charity stuff you dont like. Then maybe you can organize it by color. Since you might have lots of clothes, it might take like 1-2 hours so yah!

Q: Ok, I have 2 years to lose 100 pounds or so! I need help though lol. What is the best diet south beach,atkins, ect. Like what should I do. And do you think it would take 2 years or shorter? And what should i NOT eat. Thanks if you can help me!

I do NOT suggest atkins or south beach diet for long term diets. (Because you will lose so much weight and/or you'll die) The only long term deit that would work is eat 3 meals a day, no junk food in between, and only drink water/diet pepsi. And exercise 2-4 times a week! It takes 6 monnths to stick to your new lifestyle so stick to it and good luck!

Q: For some reason, I keep getting kicked off AIM. Normally it will say that the connection was lost but it's happened about 10 times in the last hour. I'll be typing something to someone and I'm trying to figure out why they aren't answering me, and then a couple seconds later the log on screen for AIM shows up and then it takes FOREVER to connect again. Is there something wrong with my AIM or is it a virus? Does anyone have any tips as to what I should do to fix this? It's never happened before and I'm getting really pissed off at it. As I'm typing this, it just logged me off again!!! Before, I had logged off my screen on the computer and then logged back on. Help me! I'm getting annoyed!

That happens to me too. You need to give aim a break. Exit aim and try signing on in about 20-30 minutes. It will probably work. if that doesnt work, restart your comp! Both things I suggested work for me so yeah.

Q: to make a long story very short, a guy named mike has liked me since 7th grade...and i was never interested, persay, now, i like him, and i know he likes me, but hes so shy! everygirl hes dated or liked he never made a move on. tomoro well both be at this haloween party- the parents wont be home and i really want him to open up to me.. talk to me... and if i need to make a move, i will... how do i make a move ona guy? and how can i make him open up and talk to me?

To make a move on a guy, just start talking to him saying "I really like you" and just pour your heart out and lean in and kiss him! Dont make out with him unless he kisses you back but yeah. He'll open up after that, i'm sure. Get his number, email, or IM too.
