I am trying to lose weight and I wanted to know how to speed up the process just a little bit.
(link)
Work out to gain muscle. A pound of muscle burns so many calories even when you aren't in motion. Also give up soda and drink more water.


How can I lose weight, with also not showing my parents i am trying to? any suggestions? (link)
Give up soda and candy. An occasional chocolate bar isn't gonna hurt as long as you don't eat one regularly. Building muscle is a great way to lose weight because a pound of muscle burns a ton of calories even when you aren't active. Work out with free weights a lot. Drinking water also helps because it ignites metabolism.


Well, i've been datting this chick for over 2 years. The first month we went out, she kissed some other dude, flirted around campus, flirted with my own brother, and was flirting with some other guys on myspace. At first, I was never a jealous person, i was cool, i let her hang out with her guy friends at the mall. etc. First date i've ever taken her out, she held hands wit the guy best friend, kissed his chick, stuck with him making me feel like i was the friend. And i got pissed. Downhill from their. 2 months ago she had told me that she cheated on me 5 times (making out, supposedly)And I always was the one to hold that grudge. I made her cry that day cuz for some reason she hides stuff on her phone, so i said i was goin to stab the guy and whatever, so i got sent to a mental hospitol. Anyways, recently we broke up, she was saying how her feeling changed and she wants to be friends.But it hurts so much to hear that. what shall I do ? :( (link)
The only time tested strategy that works is to find someone you like better. Finding a new person is the only way to get over someone. It may seem unlikely now but trust me soon someone else will come along. Just give it time because life has a way of surprising folks, just keep an open mind to the idea and be ready.


there's a guy in my bio class that i think is so goodlooking and i want to talk to him but i don't want to be creepy. he's also in my major. i found him on facebook but i don't know if i should add him or would that be stalkerish? it's not like i can talk to him in class because we sit on completely different sides of the room and it would def look like i'm trying too hard if i just randomly sat there for the day. so guys, how do you honestly like girls to approach you? without me looking stupid or embarresing myself. and please don't just say "go up to him" cause it really isn't that easy..

thank youu!

I've been in this position before and so have a lot of my friends. The best way to handle it so not to be creepy is to have a guy friend talk to him first and make buds. It's easier for a guy to approach another dude and a girl to approach another female. After your dude friend makes pals will him he can introduce yall and also he can say a lot of nice things first like my friend here is awesome. Other than that the only option is approach him yourself and talk about sports, that's usually a good topic for ice breaker. Good luck.


my boyfriend and I were talking and we decided we're still in the honeymoon phase -- you know, still happy to see each other all the time and talk to each other often.

I'm just wondering, generally when is the honeymoon phase over? I would say about four months, but I could be totally off. What about for you advicenators? (link)
It's between two and three months. It does depend on the each person's personality and how often you are together.


I meet this guy named, Kyle. He is really nice, smart, cute, with a good personallity. I asked him out one day and he said he didnt know what to say. I'm thinking that he wasnt ready. We have been seeing each other for 3 months and I dont know what to do to have him say yes. Any ideas? (link)
To be honest you might want to just move on to another person. If he is shy that puts major restrictions on where you two could go. Plenty more people out there, you need to find someone who really likes you and there will be, just give it time.


There is a 16 year old guy who put his arm around my shoulder, tickles my sides/waist, hugs me when he says hello and good bye.What does his actions mean? I knew him for at least a year and a half and we are good friends.
Female 15 (link)
It could mean he has a crush on you or some guys just like to flirt.


so there is this boy and we are kind of friends but not like best friends hang out after school kind of friend we talk in school we say hi to each other in the hall. but he found out i like him and now its awkward between us like he acts normal but i get all shaky. i also learned that he has a secret girlfriend that he told no one about but everyone said that he liked me and that's y i started liking him because i thought i might have a chance but now i really like him. he is funny smart nice and cute. he was totally cool with me liking him but he did nothing about it all he said was "it's okay if you like me" and that's it. i have been trying to get over him but i can't stop thinking about him and the last time i tried to stop liking him when i saw him i got weak-kneed. WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!?! (link)
Well if you want to get over him there is only one option. You have to find someone you like better. I know you may not be very open at the moment but trust me someone new will come come along. Just be ready for it. From my own experience and experience from friends I know that it does eventually happen. Plus if the first boy sees you with another person he might get jealous although that was not the intent, wink wink. Anyway good luck and remember to enjoy life. You only young once.


So there's this guy I absolutely adore and we had history but not like dating and stuff like that and lately I haven't been able o sleep because I've been so mad at myself for not taking chances! I really like him because I don't know but lately well actually after summer it was awkward and it has been getting better but now he goes to a different school and I miss seeing him everyday and I've been thinking so much that I can't sleep do you think I should tell him? And how? Like in just going to do it over a text or fb private message. My one friend thinks it'll make it more awkward my other one thinks that I should just tell him so? What now please help I'm desperate in lala land kinda in love? (link)
Tell him in person. A text or facebook message can be intercepted or mistranslated. You need to make your intention clear. Just have some guts and do it. You never know how it could play out but if you really like this guy you don't want to miss a chance and wonder later what you could have had. Plus there's plenty more people out there if this falls through. Good luck.


He's funny, nice, adorable as all hell, and I dig him. I'm a 14 year old girl and he's around the same age but in only one of my classes. I wanna get to know him better but I'm ridiculously shy, and I don't know if he likes me back or if he's single or what. Any suggestions? I've been talking to him a little lately but the teacher is INSANE. No talking no fun etc, so yeah. What do I do? Thank you answerers. (link)
A good strategy is to send a trusted pal in first. It has to be a guy so he doesn't suspect anything. Hopefully you have a few close guy friends and if not get some. Having members of the opposite sex as friends can pay dividends in the future. Get your pal to talk to him. Find out if he's single, interested in someone, and all that good stuff. Then he can always introduce you. The other option is just talk to him yourself. The result may surprise you. Good luck.


How do you get over a guy you've like for about 8 or 9 months because I can't get my mind off of him and it's like I don't know it makes me sad that I'm not with him or he's not talking to me. And I ve tried giving it time and tried liking another guy but in mymind he tops everyone... I'm not and open person so I can't just say to him I like you because there's many reasons I wish it was that easy but nope ! What can I do?? (link)
The best and only way to get over someone is to find a new person you like better. I know you have tried this but just give it more time. I can say from personal experience and from witnessing others that sooner or later a new better person is found. Just be hopeful and enjoy the other things life has to offer. It just might surprise you.


So im finally moving forward from a girl who basically broke my heart. Im talking to anther girl . this weekend that just passed by, i went over too her house and she literally threw herself at me. i didnt do anything just for personal reasons. Shes not my girlfriend. i dont wanna use her for sex. and i promised her i would be friend b4 anything. So thing are basically going well with the new girl. but now everybody is comparing the old girl to her. now i basically comparing to ; basically setting myself up for failure again. im making myself think so wrong of the new girl and she has done nothing to me as of yet.Im tryna be a person for her also , but i have some many unresolved things with the ex -.- so many questions that i know she wot answer.my mind is soo confused and i want to move on but cant help. (link)
Well first of all you need to realize that moving on is important. Give this new girl a chance. The only way to fully get over someone is to find a new person you like better. It seems that you have a connection with this new girl. Just see how it plays out and give it time.


I'm a junior in highschool (17 years old) and I have an acquaintance who's a guy who I enjoy talking to every once in awhile during school. He's not exactly my guy friend persay, but we like to talk to each other during school. I've sort of developed a crush on him and I'm wondering if it would be possible to take it further by asking him out or something. Any ideas? (link)
Well first of all you wanna go through with it because you don't wanna miss a chance at something that could really work. Just ask him to catch a flick or go to the park, beach and hang out. Food is always a good option as well. Good luck I'm rooting for you.


how do i get a shy guy to like me! im pretty outgoing what can i do? i dont wanna make uncomfortable! (link)
Try talking to him on his level. Don't be to outgoing just kind of initiate conversations. If it doesn't work out plenty more people out there. I'm sure someone would really dig you.


im 15 and i don't want to be single anymore. i know i do not need a boyfriend and shouldn't rush it (etc.) but my main problem is where to find teenage guys? i go to the mall, the beach or anywhere else but i don't know how to apporoach them first of all. what do i say without sound creepy? haha "hey your cute wanna go out?" lol. it would be great if they would approach me but that doesnt happen. so i need to know where to find them and how to approach them. like what to say and any tips on what you do. thank you(: (link)
School is the number one place to meet. That way you have class and after school activities to look without being weird or trying to hard. Another great tactic is to make a lot of friends. Friends are always introducing each other so that takes the awkward out and you can take it from there. Make lots of friends with boys, like your own team, to look for you and they will of course have other guys around them a lot. That's my best advice. Good luck.


Okay, this boy treats me differently from all the girls out there, like I'm someone special, though he never told me. He's the kind of guy who does things to make you swoon, but doesnt know he does. He's my bestfreind too, so he tells me about the girl he likes. It hurts me, but I pretend it's okay. I LOVE HIM. What should I do? I'm falling more inlove with him. Its hard cause he's my bestfriend. Help! He acts like he likes me, I fall for him, he likes another girl, but treats me specially! What to do? Thanks. (link)
I have heard this kind of story many times. When a guy and girl are best friends one always ends up having feelings for the other one. Remember y'all are probably young and there is a lot more to experience. Trust me having a best friend is the best thing in the world. Also remember relationships come and go but best friends last. Plus keep in mind that sturdy relationships are built on things best friends have. Just relax, enjoy life, and enjoy having a best friend. And no one said you couldn't date other people as well.


My friend was speaking to my ex boyfriend about us both and she said 'We Can all see you two are meant to be, I hope you work it out' and he replied and said 'Yeah, well we don't know what the future holds for us both'

Why did he say that? I guess on some levels it's true but why would he say that? (link)
What he means is things can play out totally different of what is aimed for or expected. That doesn't mean bad or good just that the only constant thing in life is change. People are always moving and it's hard to access what can happen in the future. He is open to anything that opens.


I really like this guy lets call him charles. I need to tell him that I like him before valentines day I would like to tell him tonight when we are alone. PLease give me some ideas! I will rate. (link)
You can be cute or creative but the best way to go about it is just be upfront and straight about it. This ensures that not interpretation will take place or he thinks it's a joke. More girls should take the initiative on this matter. Guys get nervous to ya know :). Anyway good luck, I'm pulling for you.


Okay so I"ve known this guy sinse elementry school and life seperated us and now he has come back into my life in a very interesting time of my life. I have a boyfriend kind of...well right now we"re on a breack because he took me for granted but the problem is that I started liking my childhood friend and still love the guy I waz with. I'm very confused and don"t know if I should go back with my boyfriend or start new with my friend? Oh yeah I forgot to mention the kind of break that me and my boyfriend are in is we can date other people. Also I've been with him for 1 year and a half. Whoe do I choose????? (link)
My advice is simple but choose the one that's in your best interest. Try not to pick based on stuff that fades.


Hey I was just wonder if there are any way to tell if a guy likes u? even if they don't flirt or stare alot how else can you tell? I really need help thanks(: How do u make a guy like you without looking like your trying?
Thanks(: (link)
Well you said it yourself a guy will stare and flirt. He will talk to you for no real reason. Also he might flirt with others girls within your vicinity. The best way to make a guy like you is to dress like you available and flirt with his friends in front of him. Make sure his friends are really into flirting and ignore the guy you really like. If he talks to you pretend to be not interested.
