Q: how can i get my boyfriend to dirty text me? like i hint that he should and like try making things dirty and he says that he feels bad and i tried explaining to him that he shouldnt feel bad cause its just for fun lol and he was like okay. but he still doesn't do it...soo how can i get him to lol
Sexting is not really a good idea. If you do it though, just keep it to texts, cell phone camera photographs are a no-no because you never know where they might end up. Instead of hinting, you should tell him directly and initiate a dirty text yourself first to see how he responds. Like, show him an example. If he doesn't feel comfortable doing it, don't pressure him. He sounds like a good kid who respects women.

Q: I have 3 best friends that I spend all of my time with. However, I'm the only one that has a job, and they don't respect that. They're always asking me to pay for them, to drive b/c "I have gas money", they always ask me to call in sick to work to hang out with them instead, and they get mad if I don't want to stay out late b/c I have work early in the morning.

I'm not trying to be a party pooper, I just don't want to screw up my job. What should I do? They don't seem to get it when I talk to them about it.
Sounds like they are freeloading and using you for rides and cash. Doesn't really sound like best friend behavior to me. You're already really busy, you don't need this bs on top of it all. Honestly, I think you should either get new friends or distance yourself from them a bit until later. I mean, if you already have tried to explain your situation and they still do not care to understand, then they can be on their own.

Q: when my boyfriend and i (both 17) make out, sometimes i sit backwards in his lap. like with my legs spread and his legs together so our 'privates' are usually touching. we never remove clothes. that's one of our rules. we make out and usually grind while kissing. i let him run his hands up under my shirt, but not touch my boobs. he never has and we've agreed not to go that far. this is very satisfying for both of us, but sometimes the same old making out gets kind of old. does anybody have any tips for making this a little hotter? we're not giving handjobs, blowjobs, or taking off clothes just to clarify.. are there any sexy kissing tips? like what can i do with my hips to turn him on more while sitting like this? or where do i kiss to turn him on? he really likes this, and i just don't want him getting bored. any suggestions help. thank you! :)

Q: My boyfriend turns 18 in about two months. We'll have been dating 10 months by that time, but we're very serious. We don't want to spend lots of money on each other, but does anybody have any good ideas? I've already given him cds for Valentine's Day. I don't want to give him cologne because he already has some that smells really good. He's not into sports at all. He's into theater and music. He's an incredible singer. Nothing sex related, please.

Does anybody have any suggestions for gifts? My birthday is a month before his, Christmas is just three weeks after his, and our one year is one month after that, then Valentine's day. So any ideas would be wonderful and very much appreciated in the future as well. Absolutely anything will help. Thank you so much. :)

Q: my skin is really dry on my hands from the wind and the cooler weather right now. is there a really good hand lotion that i could get somewhere? I'm up for ANYTHING! they crack and bleed a little bit too and it sucks so I need hand lotion with deep moisture, I think...
Baby oil makes my skin soft and keeps it moisturized. It's really good to apply lotion right after a hot bath/shower and rub it in immediately.

Q: I was thinking of starting an early Christmas gift round this week but I don't want to seem stupid in the lines when I buy lots of Christmas presents for my friends and family. I want to beat the holiday rush and I don't see WHY it would be wrong to buy now but I don't know if I'm missing something. Is it too soon to start my holiday Christmas shopping or should I wait a little longer before I start buying gifts? What do you think and why?
It's totally legit. I always buy gifts whenever I see them. For birthdays or Christmas. Like, if I see something that is an inside joke kind of gift I know my friend/family member will like, I buy it there and then because who knows if you'll ever see that item again and such. It's good to prepare early. I don't see anything wrong with it. Happy shopping!

Q: i'm a senior, and a lot of my friends on facebook are changing part of their names or last names so colleges won't search for them or something. i don't really understand why though. i mean i'm sure a lot of them have pictures that colleges wouldn't find appropriate, but do colleges actually search for people and judge them based on what they see?
Unless your profile is on super private, if you join the college network, they may be able to at least see your profile picture, if not your profile/parts of your profile/tagged photos of you. If they can only see your profile picture, just make sure it's appropriate. Otherwise, don't add anyone professional. Make a separate account for networking to build connections in the business world. I never understood that either. Plus, there are usually a lot of other people who use Facebook with the same name. It's crazy if they go through all the pages to find someone. Unless they narrow the search by networks. Just set your profile settings to have some privacy.

Q: What factors make a guy last longer in sex? Is it just genetic or does it have to do with experience? And are there any ways to make a guy last longer if he's done too fast?
Also, if he masturbates or gets off some other way first, he'll last longer around the second time because it'll take a lot longer for him to reach orgasm again after.

Q: I'm 19 and i still don't have my license or permit iv'e gone to the DMV twice and failed the test both times i feel really stupid seeing as most kids my age have their licenses and are able to drive themselves am i over reacting in thinking i'm stupid just because i don't have my permit and i'm 19?

This has been bothering for quite a while
i feel embarrassed
DUDE. I failed the driver's exam in school 4 times to get my permit. That didn't stop me. I passed the road test once because the 6 practice hours helped me. I got those hours when I was like 18. I didn't need them then. I think only if you're 16 you need those 6 hours, but I got them anyway to help. Maybe you just need some more practice and time. Don't sweat it. I finally have my license and am 19. The people at the DMV do not ask questions. A lot of people have their own personal reasons for getting whatever, however old they are. One of my friends doesn't have even have her permit yet because she lives in the city and doesn't need one. No biggie. Just try to pass asap if it makes you uncomfortable. It's not abnormal though. Don't feel alienated!

Q: i'm thinking about coloring my hair, just a different shade maybe. lighter, or darker? i wanted to go with light brown hair, but i'm not sure if that really compliments me.

Your hair color looks nice already. I think maybe lighter brown highlights could work, if you don't want to go all out. Just color sections of your hair.

Q: 16/female.

where can i buy baggy sweat pants?
there SOO comfortable + i always see people wearing them. any stores in mind?
Victoria's Secret sells non-baggy sweatpants that are really cute and just as comfy, but they are a little pricey.

Q: can someone please explain "the look" to me, my friend described it as 'a look you get from a guy that likes you, his face changes, he looks more happy and his eyes, he just gets this crazy look in his eyes that screams I LIKE YOUUU!' i dont see it though, i see just a look, like hey whats up haha. she is a relationship whiz and it's crazy how right she is i just dont know what to look for when he looks at me. so can someone explain "the look". answer: if i get "the look" does that mean he likes me? what do i look at when he's looking at me? into his eyes?
Biologically speaking, when people see someone they're attracted to, their pupils are supposed to dilate. That's what happens in the animal world.

Otherwise, I don't really know what people talk about. I guess if he's looking at you but not staring in a creepy way.

Q: So I was Thinking when I have children and I am probable going to get them what is the best way to get rid of them?

Please tell me a bunch of options lol
Yes, Bio Oil or Mederma. If you are getting pregnant, you should rub that stuff over your hips and thighs and stomach everyday, even for the time period after you give birth, until you're slim again. So, basically prevent them before you get them by predicting when you are going to get them.

Q: guys why do you like boobs so much? i don't get it, they're just like fat sacs. i asked my boyfriend and he said they were "beautiful" hah but i think they're ugly...idk can anyone answer my question? lol
It's a biological thing. Plus, they don't have any. To them, they are soft fat sacs.. lol

Q: How do you know if a guy has an orgasm? And also I was wondering, last night me and my boyfriend were dry humping and it felt good for both of us so we did it a little more then he like stoppedd and i could feel his penis like tingling or shaking against my leg? What was happening? I asked him if he came he said no.
Guys have orgasms when they ejaculate. The two come together. lol literally

Q: I have always liked short hair more than long hair, but I have never had short hair. My hair has been long for my whole life. I told my friend that i want to cut my hair really short, but she said not to because my hair is "really beautiful". I have always wanted to have short hair, but I dont feel like I would look good with it.

I have a big nose, and not very good bone structure (which is my problem), do you think I would still look ok with short hair? And I mean like very short hair. All the models I see with short hair have nice noses and bone structure.
I changed my yahoo avatar to have short hair, which is kinda my first step lol.
This is a bit like the style I want (but not the colour):

http://www.hji.co.uk/hjimages/images/qhs…

*What I look like*:
I have brown eyes, they are kinda small, but look big because of my make-up and eye colour, my nose is definately not my best feature (some people say it isn't big, but I know that it is), my skin isn't too good (but I wear make-up so that doesn't matter), and my mouth is small, but my lips are plump. I am very skinny (but not because I want to be), I don't have a chest, and I am a white 15 year old girl, and I am kinda tall.
*What my hair looks like currently*:
It runs down to the middle of my back, it is wavey (and usually frizzy). My natural colour is a dark blonde, but then I dyed it brown, then I washed the brown out, then it turned red, so I put blonde in it, and now it is a strawberry blone colour. And now I have regrowth but that doesn't matter because the colours are similar. My hair is parted in the middle but I am training my fringe to go to the side. I don't have a fringe (bangs), the front parts of my hair go past my ears.

Do you think someone that looks like this could pull off very short hair? But I want my hair to still be long enough that I can tie it into short piggy tails (the piggy tails will be messy, with alot of hair fallen out of them, so I will have layers in my hair, and basically people wont notice the piggy tails are there because they will be so small xD)

Anyways, please help me. And I need you to be HONEST. all my friends will say "No, don't wreck your hair" or "You do whatever you want with your hair". So please answer honestly!
If a picture of me or other hair styles is required, tell me, and I will put the pics.

Thank-you!

We always do the same things like.. go to the movies, out to eat, fishing, bowling, minigolf. We're ready to change it up a litte bit. We want to get out of the house and have a good time together.

Any ideas is greatly appreciated, please & thanks!
Unusual (and fun!) Date Ideas

1. Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence
2. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books
3. Have her dress up as a ghost and you dress uup us Pacman. Walk around downtown holding hands, and whenever anyone sees you two, pretend to be embarrassed, and run off screaming “wocka wocka wocka.”
4. Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen
5. Dress up as superherous and stop at least one petty crime “ie. jaywalking, littering….”
6. Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.
7. Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
8. Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.
9. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.
10. Dress to the nines, pretend to be married, and test drive very expensive vehicles at an auto dealership.
11. Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
12. In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
13. Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. With fake names.
14. Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jack.
15. Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things
16. Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras
17. With camera and pair of boots, make photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.
18. Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn
19. Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.
20. Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue.
