im trying to get a babysitting job and dont know what to but on the flyer......HELP (link)
I don't know much about babysitting, but I would think it would be a great idea to let them know you have references available. Thats assuming that you do have them. I'm sure parents want to hear from other parents that you are someone they can trust their kid with. I wouldn't want to just leave my kid with anyone.

i went out with my ex for 2 years, i loved him ALOT. we broke up because he moved (bad relationship of him cheating) .. a year later i have a new boyfriend, on the 13th we will be together for 4 months. I know i like him but sometimes i have no desire to cuddle with him. he say's i have a wall blocked up for me to fall in love with him because im scared i'll be hurt again. i honestly dont know what it is. im very laid back (link)
First off, you are still not over your ex. It feels weird for you to be that close to someone else, which makes cuddling with him uncomfortable. A lot of times when people get hurt in a previous relationship, it ties over to the next. It takes time for people to get over something that was so good, but turned out bad in the end. With this new guy all you are thinking about is your ex. Everything your new boyfriend does, you compare it to your ex. I think you need to just take things slow and let them progress naturally. Ask you new boyfriend to be patient with you, and allow you to get comfortable with him. Time heals all, and in time if you truely like this guy, you will want to cuddle and do all the affectionate things people in relationships like to do. Just don't throw this guy away, because of these weird feelings. There is a reason why you are with him, you are just not in the right place with him yet. Try to just go with the flow and allow things to happen. It will be scary, but if you don't take a risk, you will never get past this. Life is about taking risks, you will have good times and bad times. But atleast you are giving life your all and not holding back. Good luck!! let me know how things turn out. Just be patient


Okay so I like this guy. We danced alot at our school's Winter Dance. And then the next day at school he wouldn't talk to me or even look at me. And he kept telling people he doesn't like me, that he likes my best friend. Should I keep trying for him or just give up? (link)
Yes, unfortunately for you, you need to find someone else. In life you will find that you cannot get everything you want. But as the old cliche goes, there is a lot of fish in the sea. There really is, and you cannot just occupy yourself with what happened at a dance. But remember it doesn't mean that he does not like you, he just likes your friend. He would not have danced with you if you were someone he thought was not attractive. So take that as a compliment and use that confidence with someone else. I am sure there is someone else you have thought of. Just remember, let love happen, don't go and look for it. Before you know it, some lucky guy will notice you and get the nerve to ask you out. Good luck!!!


ok, well, i was just hanging out with my boyfriend a couple hours ago and we did our typically goofing off together, watching tv, kissing kind of stuff, nothing different and then as normal when he leaves my house, i walk him to the door and hug and kiss him goodnight, well tonight as we were hugging he went "bye i love you". and then right after was like "hhaha ohh my good/wow" ( something along those lines )so i wasn't exactly sure what to say/do so i just kind of looked at him and he was like "byeee" and left. so i've just been sitting here going over and over again in my mind if he was being serious or not.

what do you guys think?

and do you think it was ok if i didn't say it back? i think i'm almost at that stage, i'm just not sure yet. i don't wanna say it and not actually mean it, i think it's better to not say anything then lie. i always just feel so bad, like they're pouring themselves out there and i'm just like "..." cause i don't know how to respond properly. (link)
I would suggest that you don't bring it up. As much as you want to be open and honest with him, you don't want to put him on the spot. With him saying it that way and the immediate response he gave you, it could have been by accident. If you put him on the spot, you will bait him into saying that he did really mean it, when he may not have intentionally said it. Cuz if he says no it was a mistake, he may feel that he will hurt your feelings. So, he may have no choice but to say yes he did mean it, just so that he doesn't hurt your feelings. I am sure he is just as embarrassed as to the way he said it. The question you need to ask yourself is, did he hesitate when he said it, or did it come out in a smooth, unrehearsed sentence? If it came out smooth then you already know it was a natural thing he said, and he really meant it. Let him bring it up first, then you guys can sit and talk about your true feeling for each other. Guys don't really like to be put on the spot when talking about there true feelings. Especially when it involves someone that is not their gf, and both sides haven't said "ily" yet. If you have anymore questions about this feel free to ask me, happy to help.

Okay, so I've known this guy, Matt, since I was in the 6th grade--I'm in the 10th grade now. We've never really spoken to each other until this year, but I used to like him in Jr. High. This year it seems like we are becoming really good friends--which is a good thing. At first I thought he was starting to like me, but now I'm just confused. Whenever it's just me and him and our two other friends, he's all flirty and touchy feely with me. But when we're at school it's like I'm not even alive (the only place he'll kinda sorta talk to me at school is in study hall). All ast night he was finding someway to make contact with me, sit by me and we held hands (not for very long) and I thought it ment something. It did mean something for me, but I'm not sure what it meant for him. Later I had a dream about him and I and I really liked it. Now, I think I'm regaining those feelings for him again. I find myself thinking "If Matt were here, I bet he'd say this. . ." or "I wonder what Matt is doing. . ." or anything to do with him. My question is, why is he acting all flirty when it's just us and than like I'm not even alive when all of those pretty blonde girls (one used to be one of my best friends but turned into a jerk). Should I let myself start liking him again or should I just get over it? The more and more I think about him, the more I wish he were with me. Please help!! (link)
Sorry for bringing down the other person who gave their advice on this question, but a player at 15 years old. Are you kidding me!!! he hasn't even gone past second base yet. haha. I think you are giving this guy to much credit. When I guy does this, it means that he likes you, but is embarrased to show it to other people. He will do it in front of the other friends, because they probably know the situation. But the other girls probably don't. Remember, in high school, your image is everything. Once a rumor is started about you, it could ruin the rest of your years in high school. He is afraid that the others will tease him, especially the one that used to be your friend. I am sure you are just as pretty as the other girls, he is just a chicken. Ask yourself, when you guys are all touchy with each other, is other people around or just a few people and you too. If its just when its you too then he may have trouble with PDA (public display of affection). Don't let this hurt your chances, just be patient and don't give up. Let him know you are there and interested and in time he will come around. Just don't expect him to show it in front of the other girls or friends

This may get very confusing. Names have been changed...

I used to hang out with a guy named Donald, Donald and I hung out a LOT, and did everything together, including sexual stuff. Well I wanted a relationship and Donald didn't, so we stayed as friends with benefits. (Donald had girlfriends the whole time I was talking to him, very bad idea, but I was definitely falling for him and he knew it...)
One day Donald picks me up and he had brought his friend Brandon with him. I was always hanging out with Donald and his friends. They all knew me, and they all liked me. (They're my second family now.)
Well when I met Donalds friend, Brandon I immediatley thought he was good looking! And there was just something about him that I could tell I liked him right away. Well since I had feelings for Donald I continued to mess with Donald, and me and Brandon became good friends.

Recently, Brandon invited me to come hang out with him, and stay the night so we could drink and hang out. Well, at the time I didn't really think I liked Brandon that way..Well come to find out I definately like him a whole LOT.
Brandon kissed me, I kissed back. He asked me out, I said yes. Brandon told Donald. Donald was okay with it, but told Brandon I would most likely cheat on him, which I definately won't.

But anyways I have a feeling Donald might call me up one night, and ask me to hang out with him which will lead to sexual stuff, and I don't want to cheat on Brandon. If Donald calls what should I tell him? Because I don't want him mad at me, I still love him, just not in love with him.
I love all of them, and I don't want anybody to get hurt, what should I do? (link)
Either way, someone is gonna be mad at you. You might hurt your friendship with Donald, but also ruin any chance you might have with Brandon. You need to choose which is more important to you. Can you live without Donald being your friend or hurt Brandons feeling and risk a relationship with him? I think you should tell Donald that you want to try and begin a relationship with Brandon, so you cannot do anything sexual anymore. But you still want to hang out and be friends. If he is really your friend and not using you for sex, then he will understand. In fact, if he really doesn't want a relationship with you, then he should be happy for you. It could also, make Donald jealous, which might change his feelings for you. This situation goes along with two quotes. "Everything happens for a reason", and "People dont realize what they have until its gone." So there are two scenarios that might play out here. 1. You are able to start a relationship with Brandon and know you didn't cheat on him. 2. Donald will get so jealous that he may want you, the way you want him. Just remember that true friends care about you and not just themselves. They will stand behind and respect your decisions. I say, give this relationship with Brandon a chance, since he likes you. If Donald is gonna cheat on his gf's with you, do you think he will stop cheating if you are in a relationship with him. Good luck!! Let me know how it turns out


can girls give hickies to guys or are guys usually the only ones to give them to girls? (link)
Of course girls can give hickies to guys. It is does not lessen your manliness by you walking around with a hickie on you. In fact it may help you with other girls, cuz they might get jealous. You will find that when you are with someone, more girls will be interested. But when you are single, no one seems interested.


i like this guy and he likes me but he's really talkative and hyper all the time and im usually talkative around people im comfortable with but around people i havent been around for a while i get shy. for some reason i dont feel comfortable around him so im really quiet and shy around him... what should i do to start talking more and feeling more comfortable around him? a lot of the times i also don't know how to respond to him so theres an awkward silence... what should i do then? (link)
I don't think you should pressure yourself into talking with him. Everyone feels that way around someone they like. I would advise you to talk with him about it. That way he understands whats going on and so he doesn't start presuming the worst. When you are silent he may think you are being distant or not interested in him. The basis for all stable relationships is talking and communicating. Talk to him and let him know that you like him, and tell him you are quiet only because you are not comfortable yet. But don't take you being quiet as any sign of being distant or not interested. I am sure he will be happy that you told him that. Later on, both of you will joke and laugh about it.
