about

My name is Elly and I am 18 years old. I live in Michigan and I graduated High School in '07. I'm currently attending a great college, but I'm home for the summer. It's too nice outside to sit on the computer all day, so I might not be as active on here as I would like.

I guess a good way to describe me is experienced. I've discovered a lot about life and I can't wait to discover more... while having fun at the same time of course! ...BUT, like everyone, I have experienced things in life that I rather wish I hadn't. And I also feel that those bad experiences qualify me to help others with this column.

I have been in a serious relationship for over two and a half years now. I personally know that love is a difficult thing to nurture. It takes a lot of work. Life is NOT a fairytale where two people can simply love each other and everything will just fall into place. It doesn't work like that in the real world.

People on Advicenators are starting to disappoint me. Everyone says "ooh I want to help! I've experienced EVERYTHING!" Yet, I can't tell you how many questions I see with answers like "you could have googled that" or "we're not going to do your homework" or "I'm so sick of 'wow does he like me?!' questions." I used to sort of be like that, but now I realize how hypocritical that is. If I know the answer to a question, I will answer to the best of my ability without making you feel stupid for asking it in the first place. Advicenators is going to turn into a pretty nasty place if people just keep brushing off questions like that.

Rate or don't rate. I really don't care. But don't give me a 1 just because I tell you something you don't want to hear. Go to your mom for advice if you want sugarcoated answers.

I can give excellent advice on:
relationships/sex
friendship
family issues
anything about animals (i worked at a vet for several years)
college

He has a girlfriend, but i really like him. And me and him talk a little bit. And at one point i thought he liked me, but then he dropped the sentence that he had a girlfriend to one of his friends. I was just wondering, (im not going to steal him from her. Im not that kinda girl) but i was wondering how do i get him to notice me? and i mean like really notice me? I know the flirting and crap. But i just want to know how i can get him to see me and not see me as invisable if you know what im saying. Thanks

Talk to him! Make jokes with him! Share experiences with him!

Waiting for him to notice you won't get you anything. Step up and talk to the guy. Don't make it obvious that you like him, just make it obvious that you think he's cool and you want to get to know him.

All you can do is get to know him and be friends with him. Once you get to know each other better, and I mean REALLY know each other, you can both decide where your feelings lie: as friends, or more than friends.
