I have a friend who is a girl and she wears a "promise" ring from her boyfriend on her right ring finger. So I figured that a ring on the right ring finger meant that a girl was taken. Now I have another girl that I like but we're only friends now. She wears a ring in the same place and has been for the 3 months i've known her. Today I find out she doesn't even have a boyfriend! What is the ring for? Why would somebody wear a ring to purposely take themselves off the market if you'll excuse my analogy? And for future reference, what is the significance of girls wearing rings? Thanks (link)
Promise rings can mean a variety of things. Sometimes fathers and mothers give them to their daughters for things like a promise of virginity, or guys give them to their girlfriends as a promise to be together or the opposite with a girl giving one to a guy. Or there is also the cases where a guy gives a promise ring to a girl without any promise attached, just as a symbol of love. To answer your question about why would a girl puposefully take herself off the market... she probably wouldn't. That girl you talked to is most likely wearing the ring for a reason other than to be seen as "taken". For your next question of what is the significance of girls wearing rings... that is a very unspecific question. Rings are worn for fashion, as a symbol for a wide variety of things, or just because they feel like it!


So there is this guy and me and him dated and when we did it was like all we did was have sex. but it wasnt like that when i was with him i never wanted to leave his arms. i have liked him for years and when he was finally mine i did not want to let him go. but he broke up with me and he kept telling me he still liked me. he broke up with me because he needed to focus on school which was true but he also went out with 3 girls after me. also almost getting one of them pregnant. and he lives about 15 minutes away and i dont see him like i would like. but when i do i get the feeling that he does still like me but other times that he doesnt. i have never cared for someone the way i do about him.

and i saw him this weekend and he has a girlfriend but we were still flirting and cuddling and wrestling it was like we were still together but we werent because we didnt even kiss.
how do i get him back. i really miss him. and im going to see him in like a week.
what should i do. how do i get him back.

sorry its long. (link)
Do you think that you should take him back? From what you have said this guy sounds like a serious player. He has lied to you too. He said that he wanted to focus on school work and then dated other girls after you. Just the fact that he has gone through three more girls in what seems like a small amount of time is bad. Also, take a look at the two of you from the outside. He is dating someone else but still flirts with you and cuddles and gives off the vibe that hes into you. How do you know that if you get back together hes going to do the same thing behind your back with another girl. Lastly, you went out and said that all you did was have sex which seems like he only wants a physical relationship. I guess what Im trying to say is really think about the situation before you try and get back with him because it seems like a VERY bad idea.


What the hell is a tea cozy? and Whats a Rave? I heard my friend talking about that but I didn't understand what she meant? (link)
Well it seems like you have a tea cozy answered but not a rave. A rave is like a huge dance party held in a an abandoned warehouse or just a big open space where a lot of loud techno music is played. Usually a lot of the people there have taken ecstacy or some other drugs.


I want to buy some more clothes. Can anyone tell me the name of a website that sells really cute (and cheap) clothes (price isnt as important though). All of my clothes are Abercrombie, and i really want some new clothes because everyone has the same abercrombie clothes.

THanks so much!! (link)
If you want reasonable priced clothes then go to the website gojane.com it has all kinds of cute clothes that I'm sure no one else will have.


Last night my best guy friend stopped by around 11 ish or so. Well, I ended up kissing him, dispite the fact he has a girlfriend. I've liked him for so long, and I just had to take a chance because I didn't want to keep wondering what would happen if I hadn't done it.

Well, now I'm not sure what to do. He seemed to like it, I mean he kept asking to stay for a couple more hours, and he invited me to hang out later today. But I'm kind of curious as to what I might expect. He told me he liked it, even though I totally caught him off gaurd.

But where should I go from here?
Should I wait and see what happens?
Or should I try to make another move? (link)
This is pretty risky business. I understand why you did what you did but don't do it again until he ends things with the other girl. It isn't fair to you or his gf if he is with both of you. You don't want the situation to become you being the girl he cheats with. I've seen my friend be in your situation where a guy kept saying he was going to end things with his gf and then never did. Don't let him use you. You should hang out with him and talk about what happened. Ask him what it meant to him and whether or not he still wants to be with his girlfriend. If he does then make a clean break and tell him that you should probably just be friends until he is ready to end things with the other girl. Then, when he is single put the moves on and see where things go.


I like this guy and he likes me and we both know this but he wants to stay single because he just got dumped.He is an awesome guy and people always say who do you like better me or Steph(thats me) and he always says Steph,anyways he broke one of my jelly braclets the other day and it means make out and I was at his house and we sat on the couch and he put his arm around me and held my hand and we almost madeout and we will for SURE make out...It is confussing me because we aren't going out...If it helps we are both 13 and Hes a really nice guy and cute and funny. (link)
I think this situation is exactly what it sounds like.. he likes you but isn't ready for another relationship but is willing to be friends with benefits. His wanting to be single is a result of either being hurt by his old girlfriend, or not wanting to be tied down to one person. If it is him not wanting to be tied down then watch out. He might hook up with you and then move on leaving you heartbroken. So just be careful and don't put yourself in a situation where you may get hurt.


ok so i have kind of a hard time tanning [[in the sun]]. i can tan kinda ok-ish but during the summer im outside alot and if i could tan easily believe me id be sooo dark! also it fades REALLY quickly whenever i am kinda tan. well we're going to the beach a couple weeks after school ends so i was just wondering if i went to a tanning bed about twice a week [not to overdo it] for a month before the trip and got a base tan or whatever would i be able to tan easier in the sun since im darker?

and yes i know... sunscreen.

thanks! (link)
Deffinitely! I have somewhat fair skin and I either take forever to get any color or I get a little burned. I am leaving for FL today and this whole month I've actually been tanning twice a week to get a base tan. I've done this before and it works very well because it prepares your skin for the sun and makes it more suseptable to getting a tan. Just make sure when you go to the tanning salon that you keep increasing the amount of time you are in, and also using tanning lotion helps a lot. Ask whoever is working to pick you out a good one that isn't priced rediculously. I prefer the bronzers because they make your skin look darker which is what you want so maybe give one of those a try.

alright so i was watching spongebob the other night and squidward said his line and it was, "I QUIT WORKING AT THE KRUSTY KRAB!" so then i thought to myself "well what is squidward going to do for income?" im thinking like it's some reality!! and that's when i caught myself that i do that all the time about thing,...
what's wrong with me??? (link)
All this means is you are a logical and intelligent person. You think about things other than the present and are probably very responsible. The fact that you have these thoughts during spongebob is fine as long as you don't get too concerned ; )


today i smoked my first joint. nothing happened except my pupils got REALLY big and i felt jittery. then about 20 minutes after, i jugged a freaking beer within a minute. now that i think back about it, i did it only to dispite my parents, and it was a real immature & dumb decision to make. my question is, is how can i control myself from not doing it again? now that ive tried it, i know im going to want to do it again because im not going to be scared next time it's around me.

also, i've noticed my attitude has changed once i got into highschool. last year i was a straight A student and was such a good, stable, smart kid. but now i feel like im throwing my life away... i drink when i can and could care less about school. how come my attitude changed so much, i dont hang out with different kids either; it's just we discovered "alcohol".

another thing; i've noticed ever since the first time i drank, i've only gotten drunk off of hard liquor (maybe 3 times a month). how can i control this habit?!? it seems like nothings fun anymore unless i drink! and i dont want to start partying this hard especially cause it's only my freshmen year!

15/f in need of desperate help! im finally noticing im throwing my life away :[ (link)
You're not alone, I'm also a fifteen year old female who has been in your place. Ever seen the movie Thirteen? Well that was me when I was that age. I was only in middle school and all I wanted to was party with my friends. Then I came to the realization that I wanted to have a life after highschool and straightened up. It wasn't easy, I had to find new friends and new interests. At first I had that nothing is fun unless I party feeling but then after holding out for a while I became more and more able to have a good time with out it. It depends a lot on who you are with, you have to find other people who have a good time without drugs or alcohol. It sounds like you new friends are needed, ones who aren't going to put you in tempting situations. As for interest in school, it may come back once you get things figured out. Getting into clubs or sports is a good way to build and interest in school, and also setting goals is good. Give yourself a standard to live up to. I am fond of mantras also. Come up with a saying that is motivational that you can say to yourself every morning when you wake up. I say to myself, Today is a clean slate. It's cheesy but it puts you in the right mindstate.


Ok so I'm a girl 15 freshman. I'm in gym and ugh I hate running and we have to do 30 laps. So my teacher started and he told me to run. It would only be me and like 4 other people doing the 30 laps. So there's this kid in my gym class that I really like. So when I started running I got nervous. And now I can't run. And I know I run slow. I'm not used to running. And I hate it because then this girl told me that I run funny. So then what's the kid going to think?. I know I run slow and funny. Also. There's this senior kid whose always making fun of the people who run. Today we were supposed to do 30 laps and I only got up to like 20 laps becuase I got to tired.a dn I am not overweight I weigh like 115 pouds and I'm 5'1. What should I do help! (link)
I can relate to the "you run wierd" thing. I am also in highschool and we had to run on a track with all the grades in the school so I also got really self-conscious. What I did to help myself was I put off an air of confidance like I was running normal and everybody else was off. Also when I got home I would run a mile or two to get my endurance level up. I also realized that with all the running I was doing my form and speed improved. If it comes down to it and you are still embaressed just make a joke out of what you are doing, especaially around the person you like. Just make yourself look weird on purpose and joke around with your friends, or if one of them says you look weird just laugh with them and make them think you don't care. And honestly, there are far worse defects then running weird.


my left eye has pretty good vision. my right eye is wack. my left eye.. like sometimes when im reading, i find it better for me to just read through that eye, and then i keep the other shut. i guess its because its more focused? or idk but i like it better. and my right and left eye both see differently, like my left sees like a little darker than my right, which sees a little brighter. with my right i can see up close, otherwise its pretty blurry. except when i press my finger on that eye in a certain way, and then its like i have perfect vision, even better than my left. but thats only for a little bit then i see some little black dot in my eye and then it increases till i gotta shut my eye so i can see again. it doesnt affect my eye though, the black thing that comes in that eye is only for when im pressing my finger on it to see better. and i cant do this with my left.. its weird.. whats your diagnosis? (link)
Oh dear, it sounds as though you need an appointment with the eye doctor. What you are describing with the blurriness sounds somewhat like an astigmatism which is just when your cornea is shaped in a way that makes your sight blurry. I have this condition and it is completely correctable through contacts or glasses. As for the differences in brightness I think that is just a really good reason to go to the eye doctor. I am not an expert so my diagnosis may be all off so do yourself a favor and get those peepers checked : )


okay so i used to like this boy, lets call him bob, a whole lot, and we used to talk all the time and stuff. but now we like switched seets in the classes we were in together and we dont sit by eachother and we never really talk anymore.

anyway, he asked me out a few days ago and i said yes and i was all its a dream come true! but im not really sure if i really still like him the same. like we never really talk and when ever i see him i feel like i want to run away and not look at him but i still really want to kiss him. i have no idea what to do! please help, thanks in advance! (link)
You should deffinitely hang out with him and see how it goes. If you have a good time and feel like you are getting the same feelings you had before then pursue the relationship. On the other hand if it doesnt go well then at least you will know where you stand. As for wanting to kiss him that may just be a physical attraction and after hanging out you will be able to figure out whether that is the case or not.

Good Luck!


Okay...this is a really weird quesion....but how can i become a prep? (and i dont want to dye my hair...highlights are fine though) like i need tips on personality and looks. thanks:D (link)
My advice is to take a look at the preps you know... How do the girls wear their hair, what types of shoes do they buy ect. Just take ideas from them. Preps are generally the all the same, exspensive clothes giggly personalities flirty lots of makeup. But certain styles vary from place to place so just follow the stereotype but make sure that your style matches everyone elses. I honestly think its silly to try and be like everyone else. There is nothing wrong with liking to be up with the trends and buying the clothes that you like just don't change who you are. It may gain you friends but the cliche is true, you want people to like you for you. Changing your personality is not only bad but its impossible. You can act but you cant change who you are.


I always feel so self conshess[[ya I know I spelt that wrong]] I think its because I have so many zits: http://usera.imagecave.com/linzbaby/Extras/0000000.JPG

I mean, I like my figure. I have never had a weight problem or anything, im not the chestiest person though: http://usera.imagecave.com/linzbaby/Extras/standinup.JPG

I look better without zits, but im still not pretty: http://usera.imagecave.com/linzbaby/Extras/huh.JPG

The bottom line is, do you have any tips or anything for me to improve my looks?

P.S. Im not here for pity. Just tell me exactley what you think. (link)
Okay...
Honestly I think you are really a good looking girl, but I know what it feels like to want to look good. I can't walk out of the house w/ out putting on makeup.
My advice for your acne is obviously to just keep your face clean and maybe try some of the products out there(proactive is amazing). To cover up what wont go away I would recommend getting a good foundation, one that is non comedogenic (won't clog pores). There are even foundations that have salicylic acid in them and help clear up your skin while making it look smoother. Next I would just put on a little bronzer or blush and your skin should be good to go. My favorite make-up is eyeliner though. It is a good way to really makes your eyes pop. I prefer L'Oreal Carbon Black, it goes on well and lasts all day. Mascara is also a good way to accentuate your eyes. As for shadow I would use sheer to start until you really get the hang of how to put it on and where to put it on. Something I noticed on your picture was your eyebrows. They should really be shaped differently and not be plucked in so far. The beginning of it should match up with the base of your nose. Taking a pencil and putting it so that it touches your nostril and is straight look and see how far in they should go. They should match up with the side of the pencil that is opposite your brow.
Looking at your hair, it is really nice but in the first picture it lookes like you don't have bangs on both sides of your face. The way they are makes your forehead look larger than it really is. By having more hair on the other side it will make your face look less long.
