You don't love your current boyfriend, or you wouldn't be looking at other guys like that. Try to work things out with your ex, and put your boyfriend out of his (or your own) misery.

Waxing is easier and less irritating.

Longer shirt, or a belt to cover it up a bit.

GracieBelle, coolness doesn't affect wearing a thong. Just go buy one.

Spike it. Then color it pink.

Q: So, there's this boy...
We've been talking alot online, but i don't really see him much... well, i'm pretty sure i like him. i'm also pretty sure he likes me, but we get into these stupid arguments alot, that he usually starts. it's almost as if he's doing that to make conversation or something. another thing, he's told me about these dreams he's had about me. they usually involve us getting pretty intimate... and i'm not sure why he told me about it, but im not sure what i should make of it. what do you think?

Well, if he feels that way about you, and you feel "closer" to him too, what's left to say?

Q: ok so theres this guy and ive known him FOREVER. and well i really like him and i think he likes me (but im not sure) and i like always talk to him at school but now that school ends on thursday i wont see him as much, except he lives down my street and so i will prolly see him some. well any ways we talk on the phone a lil bit and do you think it seems like clingy or slutty or something if i call him in the summer?

How is that slutty? No, you're just fine if you call him, just don't make it an everyday thing. Otherwise you'll chase him off.

Q: ok theres this boy that i really like and have alot of feelings for. i have know him for a really long time. he was my frst b/f, my first kiss, and i lost my virginity to him also. then he switched school districts and moved, only like a 5 minute car ride.but we didnt really keep in touch. now i see him once in a while when hes in the nieghborhood, he stops by my house, he kisses me, and the last time ihe was here he took down my #, and then asked me if he could come over in 2 days and chill and i said sure, he nevr came over though. i need help do u think this kid likes me back, and should i be mad at him for not showing up when he says and wat should i say to him about this??
sorry its so long

Hope he didn't use you. If that's the case, leave him alone.

Q: OMG!! Listen i'm 14 and my best friend is 13 and were both girls. It's been 4 months that we have sexually been physical together. We don't get busy cause we don't like each other, but we don't wanna have risky sex and get rumors spread around by guys. When we see a hot guy and we are so horny we go for each other. We totally had a miss understanding about each other. She thought i liked her and i thought she was very changy in her moods of sex. One day i said to her that when we get sexually active on each other it's totally awesome to me cause it's kinky, i'm safe, and i'm doing it with someone i truely trust. These past 4 months she didn't wanna get busy or anything. When we talked that one day it was like i had to guess how she wanted things to be like. I was totally craving her so bad it wasn't even funny. I love sex and learning about it because it's straight up interesting to learn and do. I feel like i'm getting totally used by her. It's like every once in a blue damn moon i get to have sexual pleasure at her convience. It's always when her total crush at school doesn't notice her or when a guy that likes her is bothering her and she uses me as a comfort zone. When a guy asked her is she seeing someone else she quickly thought of me! At times she'd want to be affectionate and other times she'd be like "BACK UP!" Help me out what should i do about her mood swings. I'm horny and i don't wanna wait once in a blue moon any more!! Help Me!!!

Sex addict. I hope you find something a little more interesting in the future.

Q: this guy who is a grade above me asked me out, and i said no. the only problum is he still talks to me and flirts with me and smiles at me and crap, and i think hes gonna ask me out 'again'. not only that, but i like 2 of his close friends alot so i dont want to majorly affend him. i dont want to have him ask me out again. its imbarrising. could someone please help me i rate well!

Just flat out tell him how you don't like him and never will. Any sign of mercy will be an invitation to ask you out again.

Q: I have this habbit. Its like i start to like a guy and then he starts to like me back..and i dont really like him anymore. its like playing tag..its fun to chase them but once they stop running the fun is over. does anyone have any ideas on how to break this habbit??!?!

i rate high on good ideas*
thanks!

Turn away from guys for awhile. Give yourself a break.

Q: ive had 20 boyfriends. does that make a slut. im a 14/f

It depends on what you've done with them. And as for being 14 with 20 boyfriends, make up your mind. It's too early of an age to be worrying about boyfriends, especially if it's not for love. (Which obviously isn't what you and your boyfriend had if they were so easily replaced)

Q: ok i like this guy and he might ask me out but i think he hesitating because i think he doesnt know i like him. and yah im a flirt allll the tiem around him and i dont is there any thing that i ca say or do to like give him hints or something?

If you're too shy to tell him you like him, keep dropping hints like: flirting, hanging out more, and more MILD "physical contact". Or get a friend to ask him how he feels about you.

Q: I have two best friends, one is more in the "popular range" and I love her to death and I have the best of times when I hang out with her and some of her other friends. My other best friend isn't popular, and doesnt realy like popular people. She always listens to depressing music and acts a little like a slut now. She makes me feel guilty when I hang out with my other best friend. I dont wanna be best friends with her anymore but I dont know how to tell her. Any tips?

If she's as annoying as she sounds, flat out tell her how you feel about her. If she changes her ways for you, stick with her for awhile. If she freaks out, leave her. You'll both get over it sooner or later.
