Hello, I'm 19/F. I know for sure that my bf ignores me sometimes. When I talk to him about it he always say that ignoring someone is very disrespectful and he would never do that but still he does. I've ask asked him tons of times if he ever ignores me and he always say no but I'm very sure he does sometimes. The problem is I'm sick and tired of asking him because he would think I'm an insecure person or something and no one what's that. What should I do? (link)

Rather than asking him "Why have you been ignoring me?", try asking "Why haven't I heard from you lately?". Believe moi, you will be more likely to get the truth this way.

The weather here isn't normally this miserable so I have no idea about snow chains, but now I need some because certain roads here are closed unless you have some! What do I need to know before I get some? Where do you buy snow chains anyway? Tire stores only or do dealerships carry them? Are there different kinds?
-- Snowed In (link)

First, I would like to say that you should not use snow chains unless it is absolutely necessary. Only consider using snow chains where the road surface is covered in a protective layer of compacted snow/ice. If you try to use chains on a road that has been cleared of snow you risk damage to the road and to the vehicle.
If you do decide to buy snow chains, stop and remove them as soon as you reach a gritted/cleared road – choose a safe place, preferably on level ground and consider wearing a reflective jacket for improved visibility.
A few things you should know before buying chains:
You need to pre-fit your chains to your tire size and vehicle before you use them. The same numerical tire size can vary among tire manufacturers, causing actual tire sizes to be different.
There are many different types of chains on the market. Take the time to find the product that best suits your needs.
Here are 10 basic guidelines for the use of snow chains:
Tire chains should be installed on the drive wheels of the vehicle following the chain manufacturer’s instructions, To retain as much of the normal handling characteristics of 4WD/AWD vehicles as possible, tire chains should be installed on all four tires, requiring the purchase of two pairs of tire chains.
Buy chains that are the correct size for the tires. A proper fit is key to receiving the desired performance and durability. Do not deflate tires to install tire chains. A correctly sized tire chain will fit over a properly inflated tire. Additionally, because there is typically no source of compressed air to refill a deflated tire, driving with low tire pressure may cause permanent damage to the tire. Snow chains may not be available for all tire sizes.
Use only SAE Class “S” chains. The restricted wheel well clearance in most of today's down-sized and front drive vehicles require tire chains to operate in an envelope that is no greater than 1.46-inches vertically and .59-inches laterally around the tire. These minimum clearances must be maintained between the tires and the vehicle’s fenders, suspension, struts, brake lines and braces.
It is important to pre-fit chains prior to actual use. Being faced with the choice of either damaging their vehicle or not completing a journey if the tire chains didn’t fit is not a choice many drivers would want to have to make. Pre-fitting the chains will also allow the driver to become familiar with their installation. Since tire chains will only be required when the weather is at its worst, who would want to learn how to install them during a blizzard?
You may want to buy a tire chain installation helper. These small ramps are designed to prevent slipping and allow you to lay a cross chain in a pre-formed indentation. Once you drive onto the ramp, the chains are positioned under your tire for easier installation following the manufacturer’s directions.
Tire chains should always be carried in the trunk during the appropriate times of the year and only mounted on the vehicle when warranted by driving conditions or required by law.
For example, California’s 2003 tire chain requirements depend on the severity of the snowstorm and are as follows:
Requirement One (R1): Snow tires or chains are required.
Requirement Two (R2): Chains are required on all vehicles except four-wheel drive vehicles equipped with snow tires on all four wheels.
Requirement Three (R3): Chains are required on all vehicles, no exceptions.
NOTE: According to California guidelines, R1 and R2 are the most common conditions because the highway is usually closed to traffic before an R3 condition is imposed.
When highway signs indicate tire chains are required, a driver will usually have about one mile between the "Chains Required" signs and the passage checkpoint. However, these control areas can shift rapidly from place to place because of changing weather and road conditions.
After initial chain installation, all of the tire chains should be retightened after the vehicle has been slowly driven forward or backward at least 15 feet. Failure to do so may allow the chains to remain loose, risking damage to the vehicle and reducing chain life.
Accelerate or decelerate slowly. Avoid spinning or locking the wheels.
Limit the vehicle’s speeds to within the recommended range provided by the tire chain manufacturer.
If a cross chain should fail, stop immediately and make necessary repairs. Do not drive with a broken chain.
Remove the chains as soon as the vehicle reaches clear roads. When removing chains, drive beyond the signs reading "End Chain Control" to a pull-off area where you can safely remove them.

I posted a question up about a guy that I met online and was giving me mixed signals at first. We spoke about giving mixed signals and stuff afterward. I mentioned that I am not a "booty call" and that if he was looking for one, to look elsewhere. He told me that he hasn't done a "booty call" in years and that he does not know if we would work out or not, he just wanted to try it out and see.
Ever since that talk, things went back to normal. He was still a gentleman and we still spent time together. We went wine tasting but I apparently was a bit off because I had a lot on my mind. But technically, I felt like he was not sure if he was actually being truthful to me. Long story short, we had sex. I wanted to see if he was going to stop talking to me right afterward, he didn't. He told me that he still liked me and wanted me to stay the night. He still spoke to me everyday.
The last day I saw him was two days ago... He brought me back a rose from his trip. And hours later we went to his friend's house warming party. He kissed me, held my hand, etc in front of his friends. To be honest, I'm awkward in big groups of people. It takes me a while to warm up to them since the only person I knew was him. After the party, he told me it was okay that I was quiet and he understood.
He invited me to come in, when I did, we spoke, etc. I can tell that he wanted to have sex again but I told him it was a bad idea because 1) I needed to go home to take my birth control since I left it at home, 2) My sister came home this weekend and kept asking where I was along with her boyfriend, and 3) I could tell that he was tired and sleepy. I told him these reasons and his response was, "so what?" .... But I eventually did leave and he gave me a kiss before I walked out the door.
The next day, he did not text me at all. Which was strange because he always texts me. So, I texted him asking if he was okay and if I did anything wrong. He told me that he thought I said I was busy that day and I said, "not really." And then I asked what he was up to and he said, "working out. You?" I told him that I just got done having dinner with a friend and he was taking me somewhere. He said, "probably back to his house." And i said, "no. he's picking something up from his friend's house." and he said, "lol, ok". I asked if he was worried, he said "no" then "I'm going to sleep. Have a good one" which threw me off because he never says, "have a good one" he always says, "sweet dreams" with a kissy face.
I asked him if he was SURE that there was nothing wrong and he said he's sure and that he's great actually. It's become the second day and he still hasn't spoken to me. I noticed that he's become more active on the website that we met on so I was thinking maybe he met someone else? Did I do something wrong? Or was it true the whole time? I was just a booty call?

You did not do anything wrong, but it sounds as though you are taking your relationship with this guy too seriously. In reality, this is a man that you have a friendly relationship with with zero strings attached. This sounds like a friends with benefits situation. And you are probably not the only woman he has been romancing.
But, don't take it personally. You sound like a lovely woman and it is his problem for not appreciating you. As I always say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or uninformed beholder a black eye.
Cheers!

My friend's dad said that the american express card (amex) was better than other credit cards, but I am in college now and all these people want to give me credit cards and I don't know which I should choose. Are amex rewards worth getting that card for or should I take the ones I am being offered instead? Thank you! (link)

Do not take the amex, and do not take any of the other cards being offered to you without doing some research. As a student, you should be about to find a credit card that has no annual fees. Talk to your bank and see what credit card options they have for students.
Your favourite muppet,

I'm 14 and there's this boy I've had feelings for since about January, he's felt the same about me ever since then too and we've been out twice but it didn't really work. He is 13.
I'm not sure if he still likes me but I know for sure that I'm still crazy in love with him, I see him everyday at school and when I'm not looking my friends say they catch him staring at me and I have seen him doing it before when he thought I wasn't looking! When I try to make eye contact with him he quickly turns away or turns around and walks backwards looking at his friends.
Why is this?
But, I still really really like him! We used to talk so much and about everything! He'd pop up to me every night even just if it's quick and there's nothing to talk about, now he doesn't say anything to me 😤
I honestly can't stop thinking about him, I walk wherever he goes at lunch just so I can see him and I always feel like I feel sick or I have butterflies all the time because I love him so much! It actually hurts sometimes! I find myself reading our old messages and stalking his Facebook profile all the time, I can't help it! 😍
But why do I feel like this?
Can I stop it?
Someone please help me 😞
Thank you! X

You feel like this because you are a normal 14 year old girl! You are supposed to get crushes, and you are supposed to hope for something to happen between you and your crush. You cannot stop these feelings.
What you should do is smile and say hello to him when you pass by him in the halls instead of just making eye contact. Guys like a girl who is friendly. Believe me. Moi has always possessed a charm that is lethal to men.
Best of luck,
Miss Piggy
