Please ask me questions & send them to my inbox = http://advicenators.com/question.php?u=17023 - Im always here for you no matter what.
Hey y'all! Im Laura (my middle name is Ashanti) and I live in Texas, in a town about 20 minutes away from Houston! =) I love it so much - Texas is my home! I guess, you can say I've been through a lot. Ive grown up in a strong Christian home & had to adjust my life to that. But, although I am very, very religious, I have definitely done some stupid things in my life. When I was 8, my older sister Kira got pregnant with her long time boyfriend, but she was only 15 going on 16 and she was forced to give the baby up for adoption. I grew up in the shadow of my sister because my parents had no time to deal with me or my problems. I have never been to rich either. I grew up in my sister's hand-me-downs from cheap places we could afford clothes. I've had lots of peer pressure in my life. I have smoked cigarettes and pot, drank alcohol & cheated on a very good boyfriend. My parents never found out about this, but then again, they have a lot of other problems to deal with. Last year, my best friend Juliette died of alcohol poising - a sad way to die. Ive had many boyfriends who have come and gone, but now Im in a relationship (As of last week =) hehe Love you Mike! Enjoying my senior year before college. When I finish college, I really want to be a teacher or go off to live in a great city, Like New York or Chicago. I love to give advice and help people with any problems (except for sex - I never have had sex but I have thought about doing it alot.) So, if you need an answer or guidance or just someone to talk to, leave one in my inbox & I'll get back to you A.S.A.P (usually 2 days tops) ♥ always, Laura

Hi, well my names Jen and im 15 and a freshman. In gym class i noticed this boy Matt and he went to my middle school but we never actually talked. But today in gym he said "Hey Jen!" and i dont know i was kind of happy about it. I saw him alot that day and i tried to say hi and smile alot but i know he is extremely shy and everything but he kind of smiled but looked down saying hi. Hes sort of geeky, but i dont think i really care about that but im not sure what to do? Thank you so muchhhh
You seem pretty confused here - but you shouldnt be. This sounds like a good guy, who really likes you! And, let me tell you that "the kind of geeky shy guys" are the best. Ive had a few of those boyfriends in my lifetime and they were the ones that I remember the most about. But, I admit it is hard to get past that shyness into their "charm." It takes time for both of you to open up even if your not shy. Try to focus on exactly how you felt around Matt - when he said Hi to you, looked at you, etc. Did you feel [well its very hard to explain but Im sure youve felt it before!] a spark? A connection between you both? If you did, try talking to him more & approaching him next time. You said you were happy when he said it, so do you like him or is it just a playful friendship? Ask all of these questions to yourself, then if theyre mostly one than figure out a choice! Try asking him to a movie or somewhere when you can talk/see him outside of school. That could open things up alot. ♥
