me and my x bf have been on and off for 2 years and even if were off were still kinda together...like holding hands..etc...and one day he went to a party and got with a girl..and he called me that same nite and told me that all my friends are going to be lying to be the next day sayign that he got with someone but its not true...well i found out its true and he admitted it to me...and i just want to know if i have a right to be mad..because he doesnt think so...

You definitly have the right to be mad, but you don't have the right to make a big deal about it because you aren't officially dating. Tell him it bothered you if you need to talk about it, but making a big deal will only make you seem too attached.

There is a guy who likes me as more then friend and i told him i liked him to but now im not so sure. What should i do?

You probably got his hopes up, let him down nicely. Tell him that you've thought about the whole situation and decided that you value your friendship and don't want to ruin it. Good luck, he'll be heartbroken.

i sometimes ( like when i lay down for a while ) have a sharp pain right above my navel. what is this?? is it part of the sytoms of starting a period. I doubt it. but i really hope not!! THanks!

That's happened to me before. I don't know what it is, but when it happened to me, it was a few days before I started my period. I'm guessing it has to do with ovulation.

if a guy older than you who you like is pressuring you to have sex or oral sex and you are not going out and are only friends is he only in it for sex? btw im 13 hes 16

If he's pressuring you, he doesn't care about you, therefore all he wants is sex.

My ex called today to say “happy easter”. We dated for 4 months, he dumped me, and it’s been 3 months since the breakup. We go to school together, have lockers next to each other, and have the same friends, but somehow we’ve managed to ignore each other. We were at the same small party last night, and he smiled at me a few times across the room, but I thought it was just coincidence. Why did he call? He has a new gf, but I think they might have broken up. Any insights into what he might be thinking or trying to do would be much appreciated.

He's been thinking about you, and Easter probably seemed like the right opporotunity to give you a call and see how you are. Not talking for that ammount of time probably made him nervous. I'm sure the phone call was akward. If he and his girlfriend broke up, he most likely still has feelings for you and wants to start talking again.

every girl i go out with dumps me within a couple of weeks. i'm not conceited and people are always telling me i'm a nice guy but now i'm starting to feel like i'm not capable of keeping a girlfriend. how can i keep a girl for more than a couple of weeks?

If you're a nice guy, relationships should last a while. You're obviously doing something wrong. If you're really close to one of your ex girlfriends, ask her why she dumped you, you could learn alot.

It also depends on your age, if you're young, it's perfectly normal for relationships to last a few weeks.

My boyfriend drinks. That I dont care about. Just as long as he is responsible. Well he goes out with a friend of ours and drink this his friend's freinds. It really kind of bothers me because they are girls. I have talked to him about it, and he has reassured me that he won't do anything to threaten us as a couple. But our mutual friend, whom he drinks with, says that he can't control himself. But, This friend is known to tell lies. What should I do? I don't trust the girls he drinks with. I trust him. They drink like 2-3 times a week.

If your boyfriend gets hammered with other girls, he probably doesn't care about you that much. When people are drunk they aren't in control of what they do, if he cared about you, he wouldn't put himself in those types of situations.

Have you tried talking to him about it? Sorry to sound so pessimistic.

can you catch radiowaves from cell phones if your phone is on but not in use? i keep it in my bed while sleeping.

thanks!!

It's fine. If these "radio waves" people are talking about were hazardous, cell phones would be taken off the shelves. If you're worried, don't keep it in your bed.

However, there's a new health study that says it's bad to use your phone while it's being charged, so next time your phone rings, take it off the charger before you answer it.

I need help about religion. I currently attend a unitarion Universalist church and I am taking the class and all that. Oh yeah and im 13/f. I really do not know what I beleive in. I guess you could call me agnostic, but I do believe that there is a higher power out there. I just dont know what. The thing is, no offense to anybody, I just dont believe that God sends people to hl for sinning and stuff. I really dont know about christianiy all that much, but Im from the south where alot of people are really mean but they think they are such good chrisians because they read the bible. My question is is this normal? I just dont know what to believe and its anoying becuase some people are like "Why dont you believe in god?!" and its really embarrising.

Definitly normal. I don't believe in god, or anything that has to do with religion and i'm a perfectly good person with my own morals and thoughts.

I know you're supposed to drink 64 oz. of water a day. Does that help you lose weight? If I drink more than 64 oz. of water will it make me lose more weight?

Yes! The big secret to weight loss is drinking alot of water. Drinking more than the medically suggested ammount is probably overdoing it, it's possible to "overdose" on water! Also, if you're trying to lose weight, ice cold water will speed your metabolism faster than regular water.

Hi. My bro broke of 5 laptop keys on my laptop so i was wondering is there some way i can fix it at home or wil i hve to carry it in the shop?

This happens to my keyboard all the time, usually the key will just pop back into place, but if it doesn't, there is no other way to get it back on (trust me, superglue doesn't work, i've learned that the hard way), you'll need to get it repaired.

let me explain...
person"A" has mono.
person"B" madeout with person "A".
person"B" madeout with person "C" minutes later.
is it possible for person "C" to get mono??

*-thanks
♥ ♥ ♥

Person C will get mono any day now. Mono is called the "kissing" disease for a reason, it's extremley contagious, and unfortunatley, there is no medicine you can take to get rid of mono. Sorry person C.

hey, i need some tips on learning how to do a split and/or straddle. i cant go that far down yet but is there anything i can do to get quick results?

i'd like as many advice comments as possible and i will rate very high.

A while back I used to be a cheerleader, and I had to do a split for a certain routine we were doing. I am definitly not flexible, so it was pretty hard for me to learn.

A good trick for getting your muscles used to doing a split, is to watch television sitting on the floor with your legs spread open as far as they will go, and sit like that, you'll feel your leg muscles stretching and pulling, it will help your legs become more flexible.

ok this sounds so gross but today i was going to use the restroom and i had all this blood in my underwear and i dont know why i am not on my period i just got off my period and it just bled then then stopped and i feel iritated down there im really scared PLEASE HELP ME

rate 5 if good advice

Your period may not be completley on "schedule" or flow. Sometimes I get my period for two days, it stops, and then 2 days later it comes back again. I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, if you had sex before this happened, bleeding is normal if it's your first time, but if that isn't the case, it's just your period.

If it keeps going like this or hurts, i'd see a doctor, you could have some type of infection or sexually transmitted disease (if you're sexually active).

I shaved my legs the other day and they were smooth and nothing was wrong. About an hour later, when i was at the pool, i noticed there was razor bump looking things on my legs.

They are red and itchy. I don't know what they are or how i can get rid of them. What dooo i do?

Chlorine. Pools have a high level of chlorine (a chemical, obviously), and since you had just shaved your legs, your hair follicles were probably still open, and the chlorine got inside and irritated the skin.

Try a shaving lotion, or a different type of lotion or powder meant for irritated skin. If it doesn't go away in a few days, possibly ask a dermatologist.

I just met this guy about 3 weeks ago and we really hit it off. We met at my party (one of my friends brought him to introduce us). Well, he lives about 3 hours away from me but is in town 4 days a week because he has an internship down here. Most of the time he'll probably be working. I'm a senior in high school and he's a junior in college so this coming fall, I'm going off to college and we'd be going to the same school. But, he's still going to be down here most of the week and possibly even more than right now.


Would it be a good idea to get involved with each other?

Go for it! But wait until after summer, if you both aren't going to be around during summer, it really wouldn't work out.

Would you ever meet someone in person off of myspace? I know most of you are going to say no but what if it's a friend of a friend?

Actually, i'm going to disagree with mostly everyone who answered this question before me. If you are 100% sure that your friend has met this person and knows this person, there is no reason you shouldn't meet them.
