hello, 15/female.

alright... so theres this guy, lets name him chino. well me and chino havent really hung out before. but i know all his friends, and ofcourse i've seen pics of him, and he is VERY cute. (: lol, well...me and him used to text 24/7, and all that good stuff, but then just like 2 weeks ago he left to new jersy. at first it was jus for the summer, but he told me he might stay forever... which i dought cause his mom lives here and all that.

well, the point of all this is that i cannot stop thinking about him! it sounds pethetic but i reaallly am feeeling him.

so now since he went to jersy, and i he dont got a phone we talk throu myspace.

he always tells me im sexy and beautiful, so i know hes at least a lil interested. but i wanna know for sure.

so me and him had this convo right.. and it was like him mentioning something to me, and i told him i had a dream about him and he asked for me to explain it, and so i did. and he wrote back saying that it was a very cute dream and that if i saw him as a boyfriend type and i told him yes and asked him if he saw me in that way...

at first he didnt replay but then he did and he was like, " ofcourse, if i was still down there i woulda deff. wifed you, but theres none i can do now. " ...

idk....!!! do you think hes into me?

Yes. And very much so ;]

Here's some signs that a guy likes you:

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=506340

From there:

1. They don't call you "sexy". They call you "beautiful", "gorgeous", "amazing", etc.

2. They make an effort to hug you. They might high-5 instead, but it really depends on the guy in question.

3. They DO find any reason to touch you in some way. Mostly it ISN'T in a sexual way. Its more of just an excuse to remember what you feel like, I guess. Its hard to explain...

4. He is always smiling around you. If you're feeling bad and he's around- he'll be smiling because he knows that he's there to help you- and that's like brownie points for a guy if they can help a girl out. That, like the above, is hard to explain.

5. He'll tell you things about himself that he normally wouldn't tell everyone. He opens up to you. Guys don't get a chance to do that when pressured to "be manly".

6. If you have a feeling that a guy likes you- you're probably right. Guys aren't the best at hiding it- and girls are even better at figuring these type of things out.

If you like this guy- and he does all or most of those things- my best bet is that he does like you. That means one and only one thing: Ask him to make sure, and then try the relationship out. Who knows- it could be great!

18/m I've never had a girlfriend before,
And I've been hangin out with this girl basically twice a week for 2 months, and I really like her, and she likes me (we talked about us a few weeks ago).
But where do we go from here?
Do I ask her out? We've been going to the movies, the park, and some of her active interests, but they weren't really dates, I guess.
We've cuddled a few times, but should I kiss her yet?

Help me out!

Yeah, ask her out, buddy! ;]

If you've both been having fun with your dates, then why not? And yes, I think they were dates =].

Don't rush the kissing thing yet. There's plenty of time for that, you know? But if you really want to kiss her, maybe try it out, and if she doesn't really seem up for that, talk to her about it a little later and see what she's comfortable with ;]

Well, i know this is kinda late to think about but i'm not sure if im too happy with the choice of high school. Last year i had two choices of where i want to go to high school (private schools, well call the one im at now M and the one i might want to switch to U) Even last year i had trouble deciding which school i wanted to choose. i finally had to make a decision and i picked M. mostly i did it because it had good academics and i thought that it would be good for college and that it would make my family proud. now i finished freshman year and i did have some awesome times and i like the school but i guess i didnt enjoy it as much as i thought i would. i mean i know school isn't supposed to be fun but i kinda hated going, all my friends at the other school LOVED going to school and i mean i should enjoy going to school. Im not sure whether i should switch or not, i feel like if i switched then i would kinda dissappoint my parents, like i dont want them to think i couldnt handle the other school but im just not sure. like what if i switch and im not happy with that school either. i dont know what to do, and i always second guess myself, and i dont want to make the wrong decision i just need a little guidance on what to do. thanks sooo much sorry its long!

Switching schools during high school sometimes isn't the smartest thing. When it comes to credits and such, they might not transfer, and then you'll end up taking classes you don't want to take and it will just get irritating.

Yes, you could have a lot of fun with your friends at the other school, but if you're worried about seeing them, make time to see them on weekends and during breaks.

Try to make the best of your school. I know my freshmen year I didn't like my school that much, but by sophomore year last year, I ended up really enjoying it. Your perspective can really change. Try joining a new club or sport to meet new people and maybe you can have some more fun ;].

From the educational standpoint, staying at your current school is your best option, and therefore, since I think education is really important [yes, friends are, too], you should stay at your school.

Alright, so, I just started texting this guy last week. We're meeting each other on Thursday with a few friends so it won't be as awkward. As we've been texting, he'll always bring up something perverted, but then say he was just kidding. Some times I can't tell if he's kidding. Should I give this guy a chance or not? My friends want me to and I think he's super cute. I don't know what to do.

To be completely honest, teenage guys are pretty much all perverted. Yes, even I have fallen victim to the pandemic of pervertedness at times, but with time, guys grow out of it, myself included.

I say at least give him a chance. If he keeps making the comments, ask him nicely to stop, and if he doesn't and it starts to get bothersome, then you can "give up" on him.

My dog has a sore on his leg. Half of the sore has a bunch or red bumps and the other half looks infected and raw what do i do? Is there a medicine that i can get or do i have to go to a vet?

I've had experience with pets having sores on their bodies, and really the best thing you can do is to visit the vet. They are a professional and will know what they are talking about. Unless anyone on here is a vet or went to Veterinary School, you shouldn't trust what they have to say completely.

So just to reiterate what's already been said- go to a vet; it's your best bet.

Hey! That rhymed! ;]

WARNING: this is long!
I'm 16/f and my sister is rather annoying so my dad somehow favors me. It's kind of awkward because he feels like he can tell me stuff that makes me uncomfortable. Like whenever mom and him get in a fight he comes and tells me everything what he hates about her. Or he'll sit there and curse like a sailor when he knows it bothers me (I tell him it bothers me but he simply says "If I wanna curse in my house I will"). Also he'll tell these inapropriate (sp?) jokes to me and it's just uncomfortable.
About a few months ago he was diagnosed with cancer, he's fine now but now he feels like since he's had treatment and everything I HAVE to sit there and listen to him carry on like a little kid. I love my dad and it upset me that he isn't always getting along with mom, or that he drinks all the time, but I just hate the fact that he unloads all of his fears, problems, and jokes on me. I'm only 16 years old for crying out loud!

How do I make him realize I can't (and sometimes don't) want to be around him ALL the time.

Thnx

Well he can't read your mind, can he? ;]

The only way to solve this problem is to talk to him about it. The next time he starts talking to you about his problems or whatnot, let him know calmly that you would rather not be the one he spills his guts to.

Let him know that maybe you can be there for him occasionally, but you shouldn't be held accountable to be there ALL the time, you know?

I'm sure if you speak to him in a civilized and mature matter, he'll listen and understand.

What is a good movie that would be cute for couples to watch at like a house?? =]

Really any romantic comedies or just comedies in general. Actually, anything is fine. Like if you were going to the movies, kind of.

Heck, even watch your favorite movie. It really doesn't matter and it shouldn't to your date ;].

okay so lets say im giving a guy a blow job and his cum gets in my mouth. then ill either swallow it or spit it out, either way i might still have a little in my mouth and not know it. then i go back to kissing the guy and he later eats me out. could i possibly get pregnant?

Yes, but the chances are slim. Anytime you engage in sexual activities like this, and sperm is brought near your vagina- there is a possibility.

From now on, please use protection when doing things like this.

what is wrong with it? like why doesnt it work when you buy it.

You have to set up a plan. I'm not sure how to do that, but they should have had you do that back when you bought it.

If you did set up a plan, and it isn't working, take it back to the store and see if they can figure out the problem.

ok i will make this short there is this guy he is 17 and i am 14.im a girl. anyway I am like in love with him and he likes me. but were not goin out and we makeout and stuff but i dont know if he is just using me. But he really acts like he likes me.But i dont know if he goes and makes out with all these other girls who like him, and he tells me he doesnt like them. But he has been known to cheat on people. I know you are probably thinking get over him and your only 14 so just shutup but its not like that i really love him and i dont know what to do. So please be serious and be specific on what I should do.

Here's my serious advice:

Get the heck away from this kid. He's cheating on you, and he's been known to cheat on other people. I think it's pretty safe to say he'll keep cheating on you.

He IS using you and you're probably just another girl he's playing. Does he tell you that he's completely devoted to you and you look in his eyes and know FOR SURE he's telling the truth? If the answer is no- I don't think that he's a very honest person and he's definitely not someone you should be with.

There are plenty of people out there who won't do this to you ;].

I'm 16/f virgin and I've heard about a million things about sex. I've heard from my parents that I should wait until I'm married. I've heard from magazines that I can do it with anyone, but I should use a condom. In movies they make it seem like you can have as much sex as you want. Then you have others saying save your virginity while another group says things like you have to "test drive before you buy" kind of thing.

Who is right? Or because in this day and age that there are so few girls that have thier virginity that it's not important anymore?

Thanks,
A Virgin and proud (or possibly not)....

It's different for everyone. I believe that people should wait for marriage and save themselves for the person they will spend the rest of their life with. Others think that we are naturally sexual beings and that it doesn't matter.

It really has to do with morals. You obviously have some morals [based on the fact that you've saved yourself], and to me- that's AWESOME.

Don't let movies, TV, or your friends tell you what's right, though. You have to decide for yourself, though obviously I think you should stay a virgin until you're happily married ;]

Well I wrote this poem and I am not sure if I should post it on this one site to let some of my friends to read it because I want their opinion to tell this one guy I like how I feel about him. But, if someone can read it and tell me what they think, I mean, I don't wan it to sound emo or something. But it is called Everything, CAUTION! POEM IS VERY LONG!

Everything
Written after watching a very episode of Fruits Basket.

I stand in the rain,
The cold droplets falling down upon me.
Though,
I can only think of what it was like before this.

The smiles.....
The hopes.....
The dreams.....

My soul can't bear it,
My ears can't hear it,
My eyes can't see it.

For you have left....
Everything......
Leaving me scattered.

Leaving me in pain.
Leaving me standing in the rain,
Tears pouring down my face,
Falling to my knees.

What will happen now?
When will I feel happy?
When will your smile come to me again?
When can I hear your voice?


I soon can hear my heart beat in my ears.....
And I can feel my heart beating like drum in my chest.
As I soon know how it feels....

I know how it feels to be left....
To have my heart ripped out....
To be in pain.


Why did you go?
Why did you leave me crying?
Does it bring you joy?
Does it make you laugh?

My auburn hair turning brown as I cry in the rain,
On my knees,
My blue eyes to the ground.

I make my hands to porcelain fists on the mud....
That once was called ground,
And soon I can't tell what are tears and what is the rain pouring.
Soon, I can't tell what is pain and what is the cold wind biting at me...
As the cold storm continues.

Soon....
I am drenched.
I cannot cry anymore.
No more sobs breaking through my chest.
And it feels as if the rain isn't there anymore....
It just is the warm breeze against my face.
Something I know isn't there.

Then,
I think I can hear your voice...
I think I can see your face....
I think can feel happiness again.

But only to open my eyes to the large room of a warm hospital....
Only to hear the beeping from a machine....
Only to feel empty once more.

My blue eyes searched the room,
then....
I found you.

You are back....
And I can see you,
I can touch you,
I can hear you.


I soon call your name,
You look up,
Your beautiful eyes staring up at me.
Your face red as you whisper, 'I am sorry, my dear, I am sorry.'
Tears running down your face.

Though I only smile,
Wanting to reach out to you,
To hold your warm hand,
To kiss you lips,
To hear your voice.

Then....
I felt whole again.
Even though I was in a hospital,
And I sick,
I was with you.

And I could hear voice and hold you and cry with you.
For you are special......
Special to me,
Good for me.

You are my soul.
You are my happiness.
You are......

Everything.


Well that was the end of the poem, I want to read it to my crush to tell him how I feel about him. But, I don't know if I should. So, would this poem be too much?

I think your poem was alright. It wasn't the best, but it certainly was not the worst. Sometimes you used really awkward diction [wording] and it took away from the meaning. Other times you had really good diction that enhanced the meaning.

Some of the similes were a little cliche, and that can take away from the meaning. I'm speaking of the heart pounding one. The first thing everyone thinks of for a heart pounding is a drum beating. Try thinking of something else ;].

Though a person who hasn't written and studied a bit of poetry and grammar wouldn't really pick up on this that much, and I say go for it, he might really like it ;]

55. You are constantly having to explain to your parents that too sick for school and too sick for rehearsal are totally different...the former is "contagious" and the latter is "dead".

what should i do...
the guy i like is like 5 inches shorter than me should i go out with him or not???

Just because a guy is shorter than you doesn't mean he isn't a good person. If you like his personality and everything else about him, but the only thing keeping you from dating him is that he's five inches shorter, well then I say go for it.

so i'm 14/f and i was wondering what the actual definition of masturbation is. do you actually have to stick your fingers inside your vagina? cuz what i do is i like rub my anus really fast until it feels really nice and it makes me get tense until i stop, but the feeling is awesome and i like shake and stuff, but i don't know if i'm doing it right. will you help?

We aren't allowed to tell you what to do, that's giving sexual advice to a minor.

So i have this REALLY great friend she would do anything for me =) and i am so greatful for that,but i find her doing things that get on my nerves. Like she will go days without calling me when she said she would call me right back,and when i ask her why she just says she forgot. (i can understand sometimes but she does it all the time)And also she will say she is going 2 her cousins house (witch we always go together)and she will call me so her mom will come get me 2 drop us off she ends up not calling,but then she calls from her cousins and she will be all like oh srry i forgot. It might sound stupid but she does it all the time and she always says that i am her bst friend in the whole world. So tell me what you guys think about this or what i should do btw i tried talking to her but she makes up some lame excuse. ANYONES & EVERYONES answer's are welcome =]

You've already tried talking to her, which is what I was going to suggest. I would try talking to her one more time, and if she seems to be making up more excuses, maybe it's time to get a better friend, or maybe, just open up your options a bit. If you make some more friends and start hanging out with her more, her excuses will start to fade from your memory, and if she honestly cares about being your friend, she'll call and try to hang out with you a little more.

Sorry if that didn't make sense. It did in my head.

I have At&T and i was wondering if there is anyway to get a number blocked from calling or texting you. I was gonna call up and ask too but i was wondering if anyone knew in advance

I don't think you can, but you can always ask.

Back a few years ago I wanted to block someone from texting me and they said I couldn't just block one number, I would have to eliminate texting all together.

But that was a few years ago, and I'm sure technology has improved.

You're going to ask anyway, but just be prepared the the answer might be no ;].

Okay so me and my boyfriend have been going out for five months now.
and we make out for hours
and my parents dont know about it
they think were just friends
but im so scared that one day theylll catch us
so i figured i should just tell them
thing is ...
if i tell them i dont think ill ever be able to see my bf ever again
what do i do???

I say tell your parents. Keeping secrets from your parents is NEVER a good idea. Being honest opens so many doors. I've been honest with my parents my entire life and they've always been pretty lenient with what I do, granted I call them when I get somewhere, and call when I'm leaving, etc.

Maybe if you show your parents some maturity by letting them know, they may reconsider letting you see him. You'd be very surprised ;]

Here are my favorites:
# Blow on a blade of grass
# Crank up some music
# Cut out photos and paste them on Popsicle sticks and have a puppet show
# Eat
# Eat 6 spoon full of sugar, a soda, and another think that makes you hyper and then you won't be bored anymore, you will end up finding something to do... trust us
# Experiment with makeup
# Get a bubble blower and then blow some
# Get a tootsie pop and see how many licks it takes to get to the center of the tootsie pop
# Laugh out loud
# Learn how to fake an accent
# Make a humorous crank phone call
# Make an entertaining phone answering-machine message
# Make up poems or songs about your boredom
# Break into a friend's house and clean it
Call a wrong number and talk to whoever answers.
# Catch a fly, then put in a jar and stick in the fridge (this cools their metabolism down), then tie the fly to the end of a thread 15in. and hold the other end of the thread while you watch it fly around (We have tested this and it works - a lot of patience is involved)
# Chase your best friend round the sofa
# Dance around your living room naked
# Doodle or cartoon
# Dress in something silly and laugh at yourself

okay so i am just going into a high school, and well i kind of just want some pointers, including on fashion, like are you usually allowed to have those tote bags instead of a backpacks, because i know at the school i was at didnt allow us to carry those around. maybe pointers on good ways to meet new people im going to a private school if that helps at all =] thanks =]

Usually high schools are more lenient when it comes to backpacks and such. So you should be able to have a tote bag if you can have a backpack. Maybe ask someone you know who already goes to the school.

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=504785

From there:

I was a freshman two years ago- and I have to say.. it was one of the most scary things I've EVER experienced! I was thrown in the trash can on the first day and it was horrible. Some kid even had to go to the emergency room! It was the WORST first day of school of my entire life! I almost didn't go back!

Haha- so hopefully you didn't take that seriously- because it really wasn't like that at all. I always play that trick on people who ask this question. C'mon- I gotta have a little fun! High school is NOT scary. It actually is a lot more fun. You have more freedoms than middle school and you can take REALLY awesome classes. If you have to chance to take a Speech class- DO IT! You think it will be the dumbest class ever and you'll be really bored- but you get the chance to get really good at speeches- and you'll learn really awesome things! When you get to be a Junior/Senior- take AP and Honors classes- these will impress colleges and they will want you to go to their college if you do well enough on them.

People may tell you that Freshmen year doesn't count for anything- so slacking off won't matter until you're an upperclassmen. This is wrong. Colleges will look at your cumulative GPA- and that includes your freshmen year. Don't slack off; you'll regret it later.

Just to debunk the rumor- There is NOT a "Freshmen Friday". Sure, this used to exist back in the 60s and 70s, but it doesn't anymore. Any school that actually still does it will probably end up getting sued by a bunch of parents. So most don't do it. Chances are, your high school won't do it.

Here is my list of DOs and DON'Ts:

Do:
-Do all of your homework.
-Make new friends [some old ones will naturally just fade away] and do this by just starting up simple conversations with people- and it will eventually lead to a great friendship. Ask someone you may want to get to know for a pencil in class.. that's a classic. Sit with new people at lunch.
-Ask the teacher for help if you need it.

Don't:
-Don't talk to seniors.. they most likely DON'T like you. The won't give you any respect.
-Don't wear revealing clothing- seniors will automatically hate you.

All in all- if you just be yourself- you'll be fine. If you have upperclassmen in any classes- you'll get to know them over the course of the year- and you may end up meeting some really great people. I know that some of my best friends I met at school freshmen year- and most of them were 10th grade or older. Not all seniors hate you- some will be welcoming- but just assume the worst in them, at first. After awhile- you'll know who to avoid and who to warm up to. You'll be fine. Don't worry.
