Q: ok well im stumped about christmas ideas...he isnt into much stuff.

i got an idea of what to get him
does this sound ok?
i was thinking a cute little teddy bear with a picture frame in the middle that will have a picture of us.
&&
also maybe a little gift basket with candies in it.
sound ok or no?

i feel bad tho because he's gonna be going all out and spending tons of money and i dont have a job so i dont got much.
PLEASE HELP :D

awww well that sound reallly cute im sure he will love the gift basket idea! you could also do a whole bunch of cute little things like write him a note that he could find like in his locker that will lead him somehwere else and to anotehr classroom and anotehr classroom like a scavenger hunt and end it somehwere wehere you will give him a present. if you are really brave you coulfd also give him flowers! if you are into that sort of thing.. sure it's a bit bold but different and he will love you for all of the effort that you put into the project!
you could even make him a little card and write him a cute poem! if you want some ideas you could always ask me and i can help too.
maybe you could get him balloons or his favorite cd? cltohing like a sweater isin't too hard either... when it was sweetest day someone was showing us a frame that her boyfriend ahd gotten her and he was like why didnt i think of that?! and i was like i almost gave that to you and hes like well why didn't you?? and i said idk! so i think he liked the idea maybe your bf will too

Q: Okay, so here's the deal: I have a boyfriend and one of my friends has a crush on him. I haven't been friends with this girl very long either.
Okay- she was flirting with him a lot...and it was bugging me. So i talked to her about it. The first time she was all like "oh, sorry.okay" She didn't stop. So i talked to her AGAIN! and she said "oh my god! i's so sorry! I hate it when friends think that! Okay, I'll stop. It will be hard, but I'll try."

yes i agrre with the person below me and just wanted to let you know that you can't let her pull any of that okay it will be hard but ill try crap! because obviously it's hard for a reason! it wouldnt be hard if she didnt like him and she was a real friend! also if she was a real friend she would back it up and stop huritng you like that! gosh this sounds exactly EXACTLY like what happened with me i was like i dont want to be that gf who doesnt want his bf to have no friends! i want him to know i trust him and stuff which im sure you do but i understand that you dont want some otehr girls paws all over your man!!!! pshh id get so mad at her right now! hmm well if i were you i'd just try and tlak to my boyfriend more and maybe tell him to tell her to stop.. get him to be like i dont think ____ likes it when you do that or something??/ hmm but you really dont want this "friend" to get in the way of your relationship if she really is the friend she says she is

Q: So I've been dating my boyfriend for only 2 months. I want to know if anyone has any ideas for something cute to do on our 2 month (which is on halloween).. I don't want to do anything too huge.. like, I wasn't thinking along the lines of a present or something like that. we've only been together for 2 months.. but I want to do something cute. Keep in mind that we haven't been together for long and haven't said I Love You or anything. Thanks!

does he have soemthing that he realy likes??? like basletbal or cars?? you can get him a little figurine or better yet make him cookies!! . thats waht i did for 1 and 2 months or maybe it was 3 you know i really don't rmemebr but you can do one of thsoe things!

Q: i would like to hear from girls who have had a friends with benefits relationship with a guy. like how it started, and how it ended up. did you have feelings for the guy beyond friendship? did you end up becoming boyfriend & girlfriend? or did you end up getting hurt or feeling used? do you regret it, or are you glad you did it? basically, do you think its a good idea or not?

I think that before you consider having a friends with benefits thing tehn you should really figure out if you adn this guy are on the same page. You dont want it going arounda nd people calling oyu all kidsn od different names, and you dont want the guy to think that you like him so it really jsut depends on you and this guy. I;ve had that happen to me before and it got around and elt me tell you it was a rough few next weeks. be careful ... its a risk that some people shouldnt take

Q: me and my boyfriend have been together a year the 15th of this month and i have no idea what to get him. i wanna get him something cute or do something cute for him without spending over $100. do you have any cute ideas for me? itd be greatly appreciated.

omigosh im soo sorry i havent opened my inbox in such a long time i would have helped you with this and i am soooo so sorry that i couldnt!!

Q: Ok im 14/f and i never madeout with a guy before! a lot of guys want me to makeout with them, but im afraid ill be really bad at it. Is it true that your lips just go with his instinctavely? DO you guys have any tips for me?
Thanks!!

Okay well making out is really easy, nothing to flip out about there are just a few things to remember and here's a little story to give you some hope.

My first time making-out the boy told me i was very good and this was during truth or dare. the same night he made out with my friend who had made-out with 5-6 guys before and he told her he SUCKED, so it does't matter if your his, fourth, fifth or first it depends on how you do it.

TIPS
* MAKE SURE TO NOT BE TOO SLOBBERY BUT NOT TOO DRY EITHER. Just wet your slips SLIGHTLY and your good.
*good breath
*dont stick your tounge down his throat
*be gentle and slow

good luck and don't worry it's fun and easy =]

Q: OK this is the hardest thing i have ever been through.. :( and i have never felt this way about someone before..we have been through so much and shared so many good memories..well the story goes like this...
A girl comes out of nowhere and starts flirting with my bf of 9 months on myspace. They wind up hanging out at a football game with friends and he tells me he has some feelings for her. This was heartbreaking. However..i wanted to work it out with him so when he suggested 'open relationship' as in he dates her(not go out) and maybe kisses/hugs her and i agreed to this and to still be with him. I decided it wasnt fair to me..because we had 9 months..i dont desserve this and it hurts..so i break up with him..He says he loves me and sees a future with me as in marriage..that it wont get serious with the new girl but how am i supposed to know? (i mean he might go out with her he says..what do i do then?)They are hanging out more..they call each other..shes driving me nuts with her shoutouts to him and comments..and hes putting her shoutout in his info..its just too much and it breaks my heart. I dont know what to do..isolate myself from him..like not talk to him or hang out or anything so he makes a choice? (like if hes away from me maybe he will miss me..or maybe he will decide he wants her) Or do i be his friend? do i kiss him still and cuddle? i really want to..but this is very hard for me. Hes a sweetheart though. he told me everything..he was honest about her..and we made an agreement that he tells me everything and he has. they were talking together by the lake..they might go to the movies tomorro..i flip flop back and forth though..be his friend and hang out/talk/cuddle/kiss him...but sometimes i feel so sad and hurt i feel like i should back away completely. what do i do? is this worth the wait?

Well Well Well. Here is what I think. . .

This is complete BS. If you have to watch him go out with another girl, well kiss and stuff with anotehr girl that obviously means that he is not happy in this relationship.

I know you don't want to be hearing this but if you like him this much then msot of the time girls don't listen to waht they don't want to hear. If you like a guy this much you will just not let this good advice get to you and go on with this guy. DONT LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU. You shouldn't ahve to go through this, this is not a good solid relationship, if he loves you so much and is sure that he will end up with you then why does he have to ahng out with this other girl? Like, what is this a booty call? it's like your letting him knowingly cheat on you! That is SO NOT COOL. UMm obviosuly if he wants to go out with her you can't do anything. DONT GO OUT WITH HIM THEN. hes such a player iof he does that. I dont care if you really like him, hes such a sweetheart yada yada yada BS! guys are jerks and let you fall for them and then they drop you! they are worthless! Yuck! Especially this one! If i were you i would say buh-bye!

good luck and you deserve someone much better than this loser

Q: i think i like my neighbor but he is a year younger than me and i am afraid 2 tell him because he wont like me back and then when i see him it will be akward. plus my mom and dad dont really like him either what do i do do i tell him or not

hey so did i! and he was a year younger than me too, well @ first i think you should ahng out w/ him and make sure he likes you back. somehow, if after a while he doesnt catch teh drift after all your fliritng (becuase you would flirt right?) then you might as well just tell him becuase you will never know how it would work out between you to if u dont tell him and give it a chance, if he doesnt liek you, big deal, don't stop tlaking to him, still say hi and smile, dont amke it a big deal. if your parents dont like it, THEN DONT TELL THEM after a while you awlays can

Q: my parents are really strick, i'm a 14 yr old female and my parents wont let me talk to a guy on the phone. i've told them they were to stick and i am responsible enough to talk to a guy on the phone. and all they say is "no dating till your 17." which is toatlly off topic from talking and dating. how do i get my parents to let me talk to a guy on the phone? cause i have guy friends i cant even talk too. my dad likes to yell a lot so i'd like to say it as easy as possible. how do i say it without getting yelled at? please be specific, thanx

im really sorry! =[ that sucks. first off all, don't yell, try to show that you are responsible no matter how amd you are hold it in because yelling just aggrivates parenyts more and shows them you act like a child and don;t desrve to ahev teh privelleges you are asking for. try and do extra thigns aroudn the hosue like wahsing dishes, or doing extra cleaning anything and make sure they notice it but not by you like poitning it out to them, know what i mean? gradually they will see a mor responsible, newer more amture side of you and this amy take a while but after you have been proven "worthy" then you should start off by asking somone easier like your mom, she will understand better and let them know that you are not looking for anything dating related and tell them they can listen in on your phone calls for awhile (i know this may seem like feeding yourself to heyenas but it should work) also tell your friends not to say anything that you dont want your parents yo know

good luck!! =]

Q: Ok, I know this is another stupid boy question but I really want to know. I have a guyfriend that I know from school that's on myspace. I really like him. He's really hot and single. Should I tell him I like him? And if I do, I'd like to do it in a way that wouldn't ruin our friendship. Seriously, I can't stop thinking about the dude. He is so FINE!!!
Please help! I really need the advice. During the school year we did flirt a lot, but I don't know what to do.

GO FOR IT GIRL!!
take the chance, tottaly!! You never know what your friendship could turn into and you will never know unless you find out. Don't worry && be confident. He might like you too and your just holding back. So trust your gut and spill your beans.
Good LUCK!!

Q: ok my ex im going to go see a movie with him on friday and he said he is going to hold my hand i say ok thats all rite and mind you i have a bf. and then in had a dream that i was going to kiss him and someone found out and told my bf and he was so upset i broke up with him before and he looked like he was going to die and i didnt like that so i invited a freind to come along so it doest look weird and she might not be able to come if she doesnt should i still go? or should i not go at all? i mean i love my bf but then im falling back in love with my ex so if i kiss him & find out i dont and love my BF does it make it ok to do? or should i even go through with this at all? idk but if i feel to do this at all i ocbiously dont have much feelings for my bf imean i say i love him but i dont feel that tingly feeilng when i see him hes just there kinda feeiling! what should i do plz help me!?

You should go just to have fun bvut don't DO ANYTHIGN WITH HIM, NOT EVEN HOLD HIS HAND!! Nothing! NADA! You don't want to hurt your b/f like that first of all,
-it gives you a bad rep
-it hurts your b/f
-your ex might be just jealous and want to play around with you
either way its not a good idea. Try asking one of your otehr firneds to go with you also. get more people to come along and reasure your boyfriends about youre lationship if you do deicde to go. If you want to play it safe you could wlays stay away. think about WHy you broke up with your ex. Is it worth breaing up with your current b/f? HWo is better? who makes you happier? Who are you more comfortable with? who GAEV you more butterflies (don't say your ex becuase uyour not sued to him obviosuly so you will ahve more 'flies with him) think about your old relatio ship. Who did u have more butterflies with? Who loved oyu? who cared about you? that is the guy you want to be with, hope i helped

Q: I like this boy and i Dont know if he likes me.Theres this girl anna and she says that he said to her that he liked me. But I want to believe her but she tells alout of lies. aND i HAD A DREAM HE WAS KISSING ME. and he keeps looking at me please help me!!! Thanks!!

hello, personally you can't really trust what otehr people say, better just go with your own instinct. Just because you has a ream doesn't mean anything, i ahve dreams about random people all the time, better get this taken care of quick before you get obssesed or soemthing. Ask him or ahng ut with him, it's usually pretty easy to tell if a guy likes you, if he flirts w/ you (AKA: hugs you, sits close to you, pulls your arm, touches your hair you know) if you guys tlak alot that kinda stuff hope evything goes well

Q: I am completely in love with this guy, he is like my best guy friend. Yet we petty fight, argue over stupid stuff(old married couple kinda stuff), but not always to the point of not talking. But there are times when it gets so far that we say harsh things to one another and break up with the other or don't talk for a day. He has been my backbone through a lot of changes in my life recently and one of the major reasons why I didn't take my life. Lately, its been nothing but fighting over stupid crap and I can't stand it. I am like an open book with him, I tell him everything that happens in my life and how I'm feeling; he on the other hand only tells what needs to be told and answers what I ask him. He doesn't like this guy I hang out with so I stopped hanging out with him just for him, but one night I ended up at a place where the kid was and we hung out. The next night, my boyfriend went out with a girl he has feelings for to get back at me. I really am fed up with this and my friends say to just walk away from him, but my heart won't let me. Should I just walk away b/c he is such a jerk or what?? If so, how? He is truly the only guy I want to be with and even with treating me like crap and me not trusting him around girls, I am still in love with him. :( Please, please help me!!!

Well if he is hurting your feelings already, what can you expect of your relationship, just because you guys are going to be dating doesn't mean it's going to solve all of your problems. I mean maybe you could try talking to him before, like amking sure you like him, and remember that you are risking your friendship but i guess you thought through that, i mean if you decide that you wanted to be with him then you defiinitely should tlak to him and tell him how you feel, be real and hoenst and open, don't expect him to be honest right then, it might take a while but ocne he notices what a differnce your rreltaionship is with him then he might understand and back off. He'll lobe you so much he'll just let you tkae control of him, you know waht i mean. Don't jump into a already troubled relationship and don't let the problems go further than they already have because you never know waht could happen, so tlak to him first. GOOD LUCK!

Q: okay well, i have a boyfriend who has had a lot of expierence with making out and i want to make out with him. but i have no idea how. don' say "just go with the flow" because that doesn't help. pleaseee helppp meeee. i rate 5's to anyone who tries!♥

okay well first of all make sure that youve got the right mood, he should amke the first move but hey if you don't beilive in old-fashoned stuff or if your not nervoust ehn go for it. Start kissing him and he should lead. Don't think about it too much becasue your going to miss the whole expierience of ahving an awesome kiss. Dont think just do. Hold him, OPut your hand throguh his hair. Hold his face, his hand stuff like that. relax, and enjoy it

Q: Well my boyfriend and I have been going out for a month now, but I don't know if he really likes me?
What should I do?
Btw- he's a year younger than I am..
thanks
Lois

you sound freakishly a lot like me, do you eevr think what could be causuing that, amybe you should try to spark something. Talk to him more and get his attetntion, but if you really have that gut feeling girl intution then you should prepare yourself, he might brek up with you, but hey if you know that you could always break up with him before he breask up with you, to be very blunt and honest.

Q: 13/f
ok well, here we go. ive been going out with my bf for almost a year now, and i LOVE him so much. but the thing is i SERIOUSLY think he deserves ALOT more than me. and today i got braces on for the second time and i look REALLY bad. i dont want him to freak out on me and i dont want to be a bad gf AND an ugly one!!! should i break up with him or just keep it goin?!?1 im so confused and i give out 5's

just be yourself a good guy will accpet you the way you are and you don't need to freak out about the way you look because if he's this perfect guy then he shouldnt have a problem with the outside he should think about the inside

Q: my boyfriend didnt get me ne thing for valentines day... he forgot...

im kinda mad. should i be mad?
(we been going out almost 3 weeks)

yeah! of course i mean valentines day COME ON DUDE. What his deal? Then again you didnt mention if you got him anything so youc an't expect him to get you anything either.

Q: I'm 16 and I’ve liked this guy for four months. We've been pretty good friends this year, and I got to know him well. I asked him to the school dance where girls ask guys, and we went together as friends. However, we both had a blast, and he asked me out last Thursday. Honestly, I was completely shocked, and I worried that he asked me without really thinking it through. Over the weekend, neither of us had time to see each other, and I was convinced that he was going to break up with me. On Sunday, the call came, and we talked about how different we were (I’m into my horses and country music while he spends his weekends at hard rock concerts, as an example), and how weird it felt to be dating because we were such good friends. It was obvious to both of us that there was no way for this to work out, and we broke up. He told me that he had liked me for a really long time and still did a lot. It’s really upsetting to me that we like each other, but that it’s not enough. You know? How can I get past this? I’m still completely crazy about him and he acts like he doesn't have a care in the world (if he is doing so well, I’m happy for him, really). But how do I move on?

Honestly, I really think that it is going to take time to get over him. Make sure you ahve all your friends support and understand your problem throuhgly so then they can try and comfort you when you are in a rough patch. Until then i think you should write down all your feelings about him, your bad feelings, like reasons why you broke up, embrace them, aknoledge their exsitence but don't get cauhgt up in the fact that your not together anymore and in what if's... Then tkae the box and put it far far away. FAR like really far!! yor thoughts about him will be cast away in the box.

Q: im very confused i have a girlfriend and i like this guy (yes im bi) he is awsome im friends with him we have alot incommon n i dont know but people say he is gay so im hoping. well any way i dotn know if i should break up with my girldfriend n then c if he is gay or any thing at all or has any intrest in me.or c if he is gay n has any intrest in me n if he dose then break up with my gf. dont get me wrong i like my girlefriend and all but i like this kid more. if any one can give me realy good advice ill rate high.

okay well first of all you ahve to deicde how much you like this gurla dn how much you are willing to give up? ahs this guys relationships been succeseful? you dont want to lose your g/f and then find out hes not gay, the first thing you need to do is find out if he is, the simplest ways to tell is if he acts girly or try tlaking to his friends, then if he is, find out if he likes you back then consider your girlfrienda nd tell her the slightest most sweetest way ever, that its going to be ok.

Q: ok so i'm sorry if this is long but for you guys 2 understand you need sum background info. I want guys and grls 2 answer this question please.
First of all i'm 14/f and in 8th grade. I like this guy alot at my skool. We are friends and talk 24/7 on IM. We have 2 classes with eachother band and L.A. When we go on band trips he askes me 2 sit by him on the bus, he's been asking me who I like lately and sumtimes i c him looking at me. Plus he is so nice 2 me and says things that make me feel good about myself. Seems like he likes me right? Wrong. So I found out who he likes and he says that that is true. Plus another sucky thing for me is that the girl he likes, likes him back! How much worse could this get? I was devistated. I keep talking 2 him and he does the same things. Are these things signs? Or do I just like him alot and I want them 2 mean sumthing they dont? Any way i'm just really confused. I need 2 know how 2 make this guy like me. I REALLY REALLY like him and I really want him 2 like me back. I really need help please. I know there r hundreds of these kinda questions but i don't know i just need you 2 answer this one please.
much luv xoxoxoox,
marsbars

okay here we go.. i had the same problem he DOES like you!!!! guys can like more than one gurl at a time!!! just be patient the guy i liked we told each otehr that we like ach other and he went out with another gurl!! okay so just chill chill out and wait he still likes you you just need time and another way is to make him jealous and say YOu like someone or pretend u are going out withh someone this works trust me, and also play hard to get
