    The Question
    ... could that ever happen????? i mean, i know i'm fat, im 230 pounds. i've come to terms with it but... is it possible for a hot guy to like a chuby girl? i think i have a good personality. i have a great sense of humor, im girly, and i have brown cruly hair, and my friends all coo at me because i'm "cute' sometimes... i mean, is it possible? the guy i like is muscular and hot. i don't expect anything, but i'm just wondering if in general such a thing is plausible... i've never been dated, or even kissed before, sois it because im fat? thanks. ~^3^~

    The Answer
    There are guys who are particularly into larger girls, both slim and muscular guys and chubby guys. However, most of them aren't able to admit that, or act on in, when they are younger. Guys get a lot of pressure to date the 'right kind of girl' and a lot of bullshit if they don't.

    Most guys can't get past that in high school or university.

    So yes, it's very possible in the world, but very unlikely that guys who particularity prefer larger girls, will act on that while they are still in school and feeling those peer and social pressures.

    Is the fact you've never dated or been kissed have to do with your weight? If you are under 30, almost definitely it has to do with your weight and how people see you (and how you see yourself) due to your weight.

    The Question
    me and my boyfriend of a year and a half recently broke up. we both would like to be together, but due to the fact that we're in two different worlds right now (hes in college and im in high school) we mutually decided its best for us to be apart, and we're both okay with that. i'm going to the same college as him next year and we will probably get back together eventually, but right now we have both recognized that we're single. he said if i hook up with other people its fine and that he wouldnt hate me and he wouldnt stop loving me blah blah blah all that stuff. i know it would make him upset if i did, but i feel like if were going to be broken up i shouldnt have to feel tied down (but i do). do you think its wrong for me to hook up with other people if theres chances of us getting back together in the future? and if yes, should i/how should i tell him if i do hook up with someone else? and please don't say "oh if you really loved him you wouldnt want to hook up with anyone else!" because at least in my situation that is extremely false. if things with my ex could work out right now, i would not have any interest in anyone else. thanks

    The Answer
    You can't help what you feel. It's okay to feel tied down, as long as you know (and it sounds like you both do) that that isn't what is happening here.

    I think you should be single, and hook up with someone if you want too hook up with that person, regardless of the chances of getting back together with your ex in the future.

    I think you should tell your ex IF you do get back together. If you do get back together, it'll be important to be honest about your lives when you were apart (just like it's important to be honest with people about things your past if it's a new relationship). You are broken up right now, and even tho you might want to act like he's your best friend and tell him everything - he isn't your best friend. He's your ex. It's a big difference and you both need to respect that difference.

    It might be helpful for the two of you to set some ground rules now about 'not telling', so you both know not to expect the other person to be reporting their romantic activities to you. If you are broken up, neither of you should be doing that. Neither of you deserve to know what the other is up too. Don't ask him if he wants to know, tell him he doesn't get too, and that you know you don't get too either, unless the other person wants too tell. If something is getting more serious, that can be talked about, but don't go creating any rules about reporting, trust him to tell you when he needs to or wants too. You do the same.

    Being an ex with someone means 'not knowing'. It's tough, but it's what broken up is.

    The Question
    Hi, I ve read your answer about one guy's problem with letting know that he loves a girl over the distance. If you help me out as well, i ll appreciate that.
    There is a girl, who is 20 and i befriended her on fb. I used to be with her in the same school thats how i saw her, it was a love at first sight. Then, she never knew me and i couldnt tell her about my feelings, because i am a trans-man. But over 5 years i cannot stop thinking about my strong feelings towards her. I know we could have a chance in a long run, but i live now thousand miles from her and she just recently asked me over fb - how do i know her.
    Should i tell her that i admire her or should i say that we never met and i want to get to know her better and tell more about myself if she is interested, of course.
    Thanks a lot.

    The Answer
    The person you meant to send this too probably doesn't accept direct questions (or doesn't accept direct questions form people who are not registered).

    Just tell her the truth of how you know her.

    Tell he you went to school together and you remember she seemed cool/awesome/whatever word works for you. If you want a conversation, ask her what she is up to these days.

    HOWEVER, having feelings like "I know we could have a chance in a long run..." with a person you have never spoken too, who is a thousand miles away, and who you haven't even seen in five years - that's not a rational approach to a conversation with her. That's a fantasy. Fantasies are fine, but other people are not necessarily going to appreciate them or fulfill them.

    A rational approach is to keep a cool head and ask her about herself, and share about yourself, to see if you on are the same page.

    Remember: You wont be on the same page with MOST people in the universe. You have very, very little reason to believe this woman - who you basically don't know at all - will be a long term match for you. That doesn't mean you can't strike up a conversation, but be realistic and respectful about it.

    The Question
    I like this guy like alot. His best friend is like a big brother to me. I hangout with his best friend like everyday because we're neighbors and we're really close. Everytime I talk about the guy I like which is his best friend , he always says negative things about him. Whenever something comes up in a conversation that reminds him of the guy I like, he always talks about the same thing happening to the guy I like but he makes him look bad and says negative things about him. My friend thinks that he does this just because he likes me but I don't think that's true because we are like brother and sister. So, what does this mean?

    The Answer
    Ask him.

    You can't really know until you ask him.

    The Question
    So I had this thing with this one guy and he randomly ended it but he still texts me occasionally and we have meaningless conversations. But last week he texted me and it was like old times and then he got short and I kept pushing the conversation and it got better and I'm afraid that he won't want to talk again because the conversation got rocky for a little bit. I blame a lot of things on myself and I never really see what he's doing wrong but I don't even know what I would do if he didn't text me ever again. Any advice is appreciated!

    The Answer
    Delete his number and stop replying?

    I know it's scary, but you'll actually be just fine if he never texts you again. After a few weeks, you'll probably even feel better, because you wont have to jump on a little emotional roller coaster each time he texts you.

    You will be okay. I promise.

    This guy obviously likes you BUT he doesn't like you enough to be with you, and that sucks, but you need to let it go.

    The Question
    Hi, So there's this one guy I'm friends with, and we both like each other, but the problem is I give him my all. If i know he has a big test or something exciting is happening in his life I make the effort to text him and wish him luck or to see how it went. I always make an effort to text him occasionally to see how things are going. But he NEVER does that for me. He only texts me once ever few weeks to see how I am but its just a short conversation. I really really love him as a friend and a little more than a friend. And I give him my all and I feel like its not appreciated and ignored. I don't want to talk to him about it because he doesn't HAVE to be my friend or do the things I do and I don't want to sound needy. Any suggestions? Thanks:)

    The Answer
    You are human. You are allowed to be human. Human beings have needs, emotional and relationship needs.

    It doesn't make you needy to admit that you need shit sometimes.

    The big problem here, as I see it, is not that your friend has different needs and expectations than you do. Lots of people manage to have friendships like that. I have tons of friends where I tend to do a bit more work and pay more attention than they do, and I'm sure I have friends who feel that way about me. It can be frustrating, but most friendships survive that.

    The big problem is that you feel 'more than a friend' about this guy and when he doesn't take the extra little steps to care for your friendship - it becomes painfully obvious he don't appear to feel anything 'more' about you.

    So stop torturing yourself. Either tell him you feel a bit more for him and take the plunge, or back off and see if you can establish a friendship that meets both of your needs better. One where you aren't working so hard, and getting disappointed.

    The Question
    This guy and I have become friends over the last few months. I am into him and while I've never directly told him this, it's no secret; he has to be very well aware of it. In many ways it seems like he's into me too. We hang out a lot, stay up all night on the weekends, talk over Facebook for hours about nothing, and sometimes do nutty things (like for instance the 3-hour staring contest or like tearing around campus and climbing trees for no reason at midnight, haha). If he's not into me, I don't know why he would do this stuff to the degree he does.

    However, this is really puzzling and frustrating me: I have done everything but kiss him, but I am the only one making physical advances - aside from semi-rough play-fighting such as wrestling over a nerf gun, which he does without hesitation, although I usually initiate it. But for instance, we were watching a movie and I put my head on his shoulder and he just didn't do anything. He lets me play with his hair, draw on his hands, practically sit on his lap, and doesn't seem to mind at all, but he won't do anything like put his arm around me, he just sits there like a rock. He does hug me goodbye, but seems kind of awkward about it like he isn't sure how to do it. I almost kissed him last time we said goodbye - hugged him and then pulled back a little and we looked at each other, and I couldn't get up the nerve and he wasn't doing anything at all to help, and I said "goddamnit" and he laughed because he knew exactly what was going on and we went our separate ways. Yeah, I'm frustrated both with him and myself...

    Before you ask: no, he isn't gay; he has stated that he is straight. We are both 19. I don't know how many girlfriends he's had in the past because he gives off a very inexperienced vibe (I've never had a boyfriend, so the inexperienced thing is mutual). He is very, very shy and also a rather strange person (not complaining, I'm pretty strange myself, but just saying) and I kind of get the feeling that maybe he doesn't have the slightest clue what to do with a girl...? But how hard would it be for him to just grab my hand or something? He's got to know I like him...

    Why do you think he's being so physically reserved? Should I just kiss him sometime and see what happens? Should I risk the awkward factor and tell him straight out that I'm not a mind reader and ask what his feelings are? I am tired of being confused and frustrated.

    The Answer
    A few possibilities:

    He doesn't understand that you are seriously into him, and is afraid of offending you or crossing lines he doesn't know are there.
    He i just extraordinarily shy.
    He's not into you like that.

    You should not 'just kiss him'. If he's confused or shy, that will likely make him feel worse. If he's not into you, it'll be horribly embarrassing and painful for you both (and, would sort of be assault...)

    So yes: Tell him straight out THAT YOU LIKE HIM. Don't pull any sarcastic 'I'm not a mind reader' shit. Don't go half-ass on your own truth. Maybe you feel it should be obvious, but remember there are a lot of teases and flirts out there, and lots of people who throw up unexpected walls and insults. It's not irrational of him to be doubtful or cautious. So don't be a smart-ass, instead start with being upfront and direct about your feelings. Put it all out there. Risk yourself. Then ask him what his feelings are.

    The Question
    Pardon my grammar if you find any. Sometimes it is hard to concentrate or think sraight when you’re angry. Just writing about it makes me angry.
    Plus it's a long story, but this issue is kinda serious. Please bare with me. :/
     
    Yesterday my friend and I got into a fight with a lab tutor, verbally. This incident took place inside the chemistry computer lab/ study room. So we were both working on our lab reports that needed to be turn in later that day.(About my lab partner, she’s extremely shy and quiet but she is very generous person. I used to be very shy like that too back in grade school, but now I’ve got over it since I begin to socialize more and grew more ambiverted like now. Anyways, back to the story.) We were both very busy with our papers and started talking to each other a lot. About an hour later, a professor was getting ready to lock the room up and then made everyone in the lab leave. We didn’t happen to hear him at first because we were both still talking. (In retrospect, that part was kinda our fault but it’s not like we meant to do it on purpose. The professor‘s voice was a little quiet at first and our talking kinda drained out the noise.) Then the professor finally caught our attention and informed us that he’d already made an announcement to leave. We both listen to him and told him “okay” and decided to save our process and take it somewhere else. Since then we didn’t really see the professor around anymore. My guess was that he was either waiting outside to lock the door or that he gave the keys to one of the tutors and left.
     
    On my computer, I already had my school email account opened from earlier, so I’ve managed to save my stuff on time and cleared the rest of my things. I was just waiting for her to do the very same thing. Moments later, while I was waiting for my friend to start emailing herself, this one tutor came to check on us and said to my friend “you seriously cannot be emailing right now miss.” We both apologizing to him about that and told him that we were almost done. (I even tried to crack a little lighthearted joke with him that my friend’s slow and that she didn’t mean to cause this hold up.) He informed us that the professor needed to leave because he has a class to teach (That part we didn’t know.) Once again I apologized and told him that we’ll be leaving asap. I even nudged my friend to hurry up while this tutor was still standing on our necks. She was behaving a little irresponsive and I can sense her feeling a bit nervous at the moment to leave too while this tutor was standing on our neck. (I understand why he has to do that because he was waiting for me to leave). By the time she was finally done with the computer after a few seconds later, this tutor started flipping out about us while he was talking to someone else from far. He started to raise his voice about her (while jumping into all sorts of conclusions about us) and said “This f****** chick just ignores the professor and refuses to leave.” He just assumes that we purposely ignored the professor’s instructions which was never honestly the case in the first place.

    At first I didn’t want to say anything, just kept quiet and I’m usually try to be polite with many faculties on campus, but the way he talked about my friend like that offends me and that’s where I started to defend her. I begin raising my voiced at him in response to his attitude starting with “Whoa, what is your problem? We said we’re gonna leave…etc” (I didn’t shout at him btw, I was just talking to him normally with a little raised voice.) My friend also joined in the heated argument briefly about his unnecessary remark and to reassure him that she is already done with the computer beforehand. She and I do really feel bad about causing a hold up, but at the moment, I really don’t appreciate the way he talked about her in such manner especially with her being quiet and somewhat defenseless. Then we had gotten a little back and forth argument which resulted to even more misunderstanding.

    At the time I wish that I could’ve said more to him in response such as “Just because we caused a problem and accidentally made the professor late, you think it is okay to go ape*** on us and then referred to her as This F***** Chick? ” , but instead we just stormed the other way and said nothing. Beside, arguing with him more would’ve just made me angrier to the point where I could just kick his *** in a heartbeat and I‘m glad that I didn‘t resort to doing that for obvious reasons.

    I need some advice please... was this bad on my part? Or did I do the right thing?
    P.S. Since this incident happened, my friend was thinking of reporting it to the dean in charge of the department or go to the campus’s counselor about it. But she was kinda scared of the consenquences. We were also thinking of apologizing to that professor for making him late if we ever had the chance to see him, but not to the tutor.





    The Answer
    You should report it, because tutor shouldn't be swearing at you. He crossed a line if he swore.

    However, when she kept on doing just one more thing cause you didn't happen to see anyone around to remind you to leave - that WAS ignoring what you'd been asked to do. It was rude and it abuses other people's time.

    Tutors often get paid next to nothing, and are stuck taking abuse and wasting time with students who just wont listen. I can't tell you the number of students who think, because I'm not the professor, I should be holding their hands, giving them the answers and answering their midnight emails in minutes. Or the number of times I've been late because students think if I don't physically remind them at the 10 min, 5 min mark and 2 min mark, that the lab is closing - then they can just keep working - leaving me standing there over them while they clean up 10 mins after my bus left.

    So yes, you should report him because he crossed the line when he swore at you, but you also need to have more respect for your tutor's time - not just professor's.

    The Question
    If a married woman is cheating with a married man and she hears him tell his wife he loves her and 5 minutes later is having sex with the other woman what does this mean?

    The Answer
    That he's a cheater? But the other woman already knew that much.

    Cheaters cheat.
    They decieve.
    They say one thing and do another.
    That is what cheating is.

    He might have been telling the truth when he said he loves his wife. He might truly love her or he might be lying to her. There is no way for any of the women involved to know for sure. He's a cheater. Lying is what he is doing right now.

    The only thing it 'means' is that the other woman should end of the affair. (Obviously, she should have done that before it even started!) But now she should most certainly end it - because being faced with such obvious evidence of this guys two faced-ness, she should realize that she is not going to be treated any better than the wife. She'll likely be treated much worse.

    The Question
    I'm 20 years old, I will be 21 in three months.

    I'm currently on Yaz birth control, I've been on yaz for a little over a year now. I think that it's caused weight gain (only about 5-6lbs, but it's been hard to even try to get off, I've been changing my diet, exercising. I eat little in the first place and very healthy)

    I've looked into Yaz more about side effects and I saw a lot of women under 30 (around my age actually) who have developed embolisms in their lungs and it makes really worried. I know my doctor told me with all birth controls that blood clots and weight gain are all possible side effects, but after reading everything about Yaz I really want to get off it.

    The reason my doctor put me on Yaz was because I was on ortho tri cylen lo for about two years and I'd get really bad PMS from it.

    I know switching from that pill to Yaz were drastically different pills.

    I would like to know if anyone had any good advice in a new oral birth contol?

    Suggestions? Something better than Yaz without all the terrible side effects? (I know they all have side effects and I know it depends on your bodies)

    I'm 5'3, 126lbs. I take birth control to prevent birth, keeping my skin clear, and controlling PMS.

    I would love some suggestions and input!

    Thanks!

    The Answer
    Yaz is one of the better and safer BCP out there. I can't really recommend another based on your question - They do all have side effects, and most of them are worse, for a greater number of women, than Yaz is. That's why Yaz is so popular in the first place.

    A lot of the negative things you are reading about Yaz are very likely being promoted by organizations with anti-science and sex-negative agendas, or worse, dishonest lawyers trying to bilk money out of Yaz and scarred woman by blaming an unrelated health issue on the pill. (Because Yaz is so popular, many lawyers are attack it hoping they'll get paid just to go away. Then they pocket 90% of the settlement, and their clients get a few bucks and none of the real medical support they need.)

    So please, take what you read with a huge grain of salt, and speak to your doctor about your concerns. The reason Yaz has the most reported problems, is because it is by FAR the most commonly prescribed drug. Statically speaking, more women are going to have negative reactions to it, because sooooo many more women are on it.

    Finally, you might not like to hear it, but 5-6 pounds at your age, could just be the fact you are aging. Most women hit a time in their early twenties where suddenly the weight doesn't just disappear the moment you start to exercise. Your weight is not necessarily connected to the pill. Even if it is the pill, in my experience, if you are the kind of women who gains weight on one kind of pill, you'll probably gain weight no matter the brand you take.

    If you want to talk options, you should probably talk to your doctor.

    The Question

    I'm a bit confused on something


    If you have a ceremony but aren't legally married would you be able to take the last name of your spouse or would it need to be a legal marriage?

    What exactly makes a marriage legal?.....What is the difference between a ceremony and a legal marriage?

    Also, If you had a ceremony would you still refer to others as husband and wife?

    The Answer
    In the United States you can change your last name to nearly anything, for pretty much any reason you'd like. So, you can legally take you partner's name at any time, whether you are married or not. No one in the government cares.

    A marriage is legal when a couple gets a Marriage License. They need to apply for the license and have it granted by a civic officer. Generally, the license has to be signed in view of two witnesses who also need to sign it.

    The difference between the ceremony and the license depends entirely on the religion/ceremony being performed. The license is really straight-forward and many couples include signing the license in their religious ceremony. Other couple who want a religious marriage and a license, do them on a separate days. It doesn't matter which you choose.

    You can refer to one another as husband and wife, or as Grand Poo bah and Lady Madcap. So, yes. If you believe the ceremony makes you husband and wife, that is what you should call each other. The government doesn't care. What the license does is guarantee you (and your family) all the right and protections of a legally married couple.

    The Question
    My boyfriend and I broke up and he returned my things...He was using the strategy to try and talk to me but i was working so he did not catch me home.....i am usually at school on mondays but i had to be at work because my boss forgot and put me on schedule to work....he thought i would be home but i was working....we ended up talking on the phone and he thought that i hd been hanging out with another guy...he didnt trust me....i didnt trust him either....the conversation ended in him breaking up with me. A part of me is relieved and another in denial......I still have some of his tees and hats and stuff like that....I want to return it but in a very classy way. Would going to his work and giving them back while he is on break be a good idea? Or just dropping a box with his things at his door step? I want it to be a pinch for him...I feel it's so immature of him to break up over the phone....I feel like if he saw me it would be a different story...

    The Answer
    The classy thing to do, is not to game play.

    You can't control his reactions or feelings, and it just looks silly and immature when you try. (Just as it looked silly that he tried to catch you at home when he returned your things.)

    Do NOT bring his things to his work. It's highly disrespectful to bring that kind of personal business into the workplace. That would be unkind to him, and to everyone he works with. It would look very petty.

    If you want to meet with him and speak face to face, just tell him that. Tell him you want to talk, would he please grab a coffee with you. If you don't want to talk, then the classy way to return his things is to put them in a box and bring them to his home and give them to whoever answers the door, thank them, and leave.

    Don't try to make this 'pinch' for him. THAT isn't classy. If you want to talk, ask him to talk, but being classy is exactly the opposite of trying to manipulate the situation to make a dig at him.

    The Question
    What is an "implicit dialogue"? I have no idea what that means.

    The Answer
    Implicit means, basically, something that isn't said, but is perfectly understood all the same. It's similar to 'Implied' and the opposite of explicit.

    If I say to you "Don't touch the pan, it's hot!" then I'm explicitly telling you what you need to know.

    If I say to you "The stove is on." then I'm leaving it to you to understand implicitly that what I just said means that the pan on the stove is hot, and I'm telling you this so you wont burn yourself.

    You probably have lots of implicit understandings in your life - topics that you and another person wont bring up, or agreements between friends that you've never really talked about, but you all honor.

    I'm not sure why someone would say 'Implicit dialogue'. It's both redundant and a bit contradictory. Maybe if you tell us a bit more about where you found this phrase we'd be able to help you make sense of it.

    I suppose a person could die in that situation, but it wouldn't chemical asphyxiation. Chemical asphyxiation happens when a person breaths in a chemical like hydrogen sulfide or and carbon monoxide. These chemicals bind with our blood like oxygen does, but they are not oxygen. Cells die and muscles cease to operate. If there is no chemical like that introduced to the blood stream then it's not chemical asphyxiation.

    If a person dies hours after being strangled, it seems most likely that the assault caused other damage that wasn't noticed, or couldn't be fixed.

    The Question
    I have been with my bf for a month and i just found out that i have genital warts im sure i got this from my previous relationship.
    Doctor said i will be cure in few months i got treatment and medicine which can increase my immune system to kill the virus itself.
    Doctor also said i cant have sex till i cure 100%.
    My question is after i cure is it safe to have sex with my bf without condom?
    Is he infected by hpv? Or what should we do?

    The Answer
    There is no way for you to have sex without a risk of you being infected by HPV again.

    Since you don't know if your current boyfriend is infected, and there is no reliable test for men for HPV, you've got to assume he did get infected with HPV. I've never read anything about the male body being better at defeating HPV (and frankly, that sounds like total BS to me. That just doesn't seem consistent with the way the virus operates. It's probably just a mistaken idea people get because men are less likely to present the symptoms of most forms of HPV even when they do have it.)

    The safest way to avoid contracting HPV again, (besides never have sex again in your life... nearly 80% of sexually active woman contract HPV at some point in their lives.) is to use condoms after you are cured. Condoms do not 100% defend against HPV, but they do provide some protection.

    The existence of HPV is a good argument to always use condoms. Wart causing HPV aren't going to kill you. The strains of HPV that cause warts, are not the strains linked to cancer. But it is a nuisance and an embarrassment. Better to take reasonable precautions and use condoms.

    The Question
    Okay, so I know this is a bit ridiculous question, but.. There's this guy and back in High School we kind of hated each other, or well yeah. I actually liked him before I hated him, but whatever.

    So.. we're now friends on FB.. and the other day I poked him.. and yesterday he poked me back.. he also liked a page that says "I see you poked me. I assume your DTF?" I also liked this page.

    yeah.. I just have a question.. what does this mean? does it mean nothing... or.. what? I don't know. I just needed some more opinions... and what should I do.. I'm stressing! and probably reading way too much into this. anyways, thanks for reading and if you answer thanks for answering!

    The Answer
    It's means Down To Fuck. The groups means "If you poke someone first, they should assume you want to sleep with them."

    You are reading too deeply into it. There is no direct line linking you poking him on Facebook and him liking that page. The two things aren't necessarily related, and it's a bit vain to assume they are. I wouldn't worry about it anymore.

    But it is a pretty damn immature phrase, and even stupider Facebook page. Unless you are a DTF kinda girl, you might want to unlike it.
