Q: a hot jock at my school keeps iming me telling me that i make him horny and im hott. and hes like perverted i talk to him, but i mean i dont take him seriously. and hes like"i dont act like this around my friends. dont tell anyone im acting liek this to you" and im like "wtf."


whats going on?
hey there!
this guy doesn't like you, im not tryin to be mean but its true he's just playing around because he cant get any other girl. he's only acting like this to you online because he's scared and doesnt want his friends to see how his perverted side is like. if you dont want to talk to him anymore than just stop. just because he's a joke and might be hot, he's not gonna care about you ever unless he wants to get with you. hope this helps!

Q: 13/f if that helps. okay theres this guy.. well he was in my schools since ever, but never had been in my classes. and this year he is, and well i have a crush on him! i dont really know what to do or anything.. but soon i thought he was cute, and i'd find myself doing little things to maybe impress him.. haha i always do that whenever i like someone! is that a good or bad thing? i dont want to like scare him off, haha. now hes in 2 of my classes, and another, but thats like a gym class.we both like generally the same sports, though hes probably better than me at them XD. and before i liked him, my friend said we'd look cute as a couple when we sat together in math (assigned seats for a while) and i just denyed it, cuz i didnt like him like that then. i can talk to him easily, and im not like one of his friend-friends, but sometimes i talk to him during class. ugh.. i wish i didnt fall for guys this easily! what should i do! i mean, im not just gonna ask him out, because i dont know if i really like him, or if he likes me back like that, and i dont wanna get embarrased over it and stuff. also it would probably ruin our friendship which like just started a couple months ago! Lol. ugh, im so picky, if i wanted a boyfriend i'd be really specific, and even though i'd like a boy, i wouldnt really want to go out with them, since i want my first bf and first kiss to be like perfect, or something i wont regret, really. decisions, decisions.. i dunno what to do. just be his friend? or like.. maybe more? haha it feels so weird to type this. sorry this was so long.. if it was long.
hey there!
yeps.. i totally understand what your feeling because right now im that situation but mind is a little more complex. well anyways just keep going with being friends because you need to work on the friendship so then when it gets stronger the feelings will slowly come in. as you work on your friendship with him you'll both get closer and you cant really rush things because that will sorta mess up the friendship that wont get to the relationship. you gotta see if really have feelings for him because after a while you might see different sides of him that you dont like seeing. i know how you feel about the whole first boyfriends and being perfect but its like it might not happen the way you want it. i feel the same in manys

i dont know if this helps but i hope i really hope it does because i should be using this advice on myself before i give it to others. but you know no one can ever really take their own advice..if you still need some help then let me know because i know i can help you a little more than i did just now.

Q: I have been dating my boyfriend about 2 years now.anyhow well we are really really close,and I am completely in love with him..I mean never could fall deeper. I have known him like 6 years and dated him for 2 of them..and well its like a lot of my friends say I am too clingy to him and do not want to hang out with me anymore..what do i do?
Well first of all how do yu feel about this, i mean do you feel happy being with your boyfriend more and do u still want to be with your friends? Yes, you can pick both. Try talking to your friends about it and let each other know how you guys feel. Having a boyfriend maybe every important and your always wanting to spend a lot of time with him, but you still got friends that you need to make time for. You can even try talking to your boyfriend about this and see what he thinks. hope this helps!

Q: ok i just turned 13 a week ago and i'm in 7th grade, and i havn't had a boyfriend yet...i'm pretty sure its because... i'm ugly, i mean i wear glasses i'm 5'0 or 5'1 and i'm fat... (135) waht do i do??i cant talk to a friend or cousin or aunt, and my mom passed away. so i live with my dad. what should i do?? please please please help me.
hey there!

sweetie, you need to be more confident and dont bring yourself down. your only 13 years young yes young..please enjoy being 13 because you only get to be it once. its normal that for young girls and boys not to have a girlfriend or boyfriend yet. trust me, girls and boys dont know why they want a girlfriend or boyfriend and its not about wanting its about how you feel. things cant be forced just let things happen. i bet your not ugly, fat or short. your 13 dont worry your going to grow taller and you probably only have baby fat and thats going to go away too. not all people that are short, fat and wear glasses are ugly or disliked by people because yea i have glasses and i'm 5'3 and yes i am thick but im not fat. you just need to be confident and love yourself. hope this helps!

Q: there this guy and i have a huge crush on him, but he has a girlfriend. ive like had dreams about him and cant stop thinking about him its driving me crazyy!!! what can i do??
hey there!

hun, you should really move on for now because he has a girlfriend and you wouldn't want to mess it up for them. if he felt the same way you do then he wouldn't have a girlfriend. you can try moving on or try to get to know him better. if your going to try to get to know him remember dont flirt with him. you just want to make your friendship a little better because maybe he doesnt know you too well or you dont know him too well. dont go crazy over this one guy because there are plenty of guys out there waiting for you. hope this helps!

Q: My boyfriend and i leave together.When we come back from work/school e.t.che just sits there and i do the housechores even when am tired.I want him to know that am sometime too tired to work and need help around the house.I wish he would help without being pushed to,how do i tell this to him politely without hurting him and at the saame time convincingly?
hey there!

next time as your getting ready to do the chores than ask him straight out if he could help you. you can always start by telling him how tired or how your day was going and that you need some help around the house. still let him know that even though you both go to work/school you still need to do chores together. if your living with him, he should have to do half the chores. you can try to make a list of things he can do if he gets home before you. if you dont tell him now, you'll end up getting sick and tired of everything and you relationship with him will get weaker. even doing chores together will make your relationship stronger. what happens when your relationship gets even more serious and you plan on marrying him then your going to end up always doing the chores yourself and he wont see the point of starting to help you with chores. hope this helps!!

Q: TOTAL MIXED SIGNALS!
my crush and I, we IM:ed earlier today..
and he went "you're so perfect for me, we like the same movies, songs, everything" and i was soooo happy because of that, but i had to go offline, so i said bye, but then i realized id rather talk to him than do anything else.. so i went online again, and he blocked me! my friend said he was still online, but he "went offline" as soon as i logged in.. WHYY? i cant ask him about this, so do i just NOT talk to him until he talks to me? or what?
hey there!

dont worry! i dont think that he blocked you because he doesnt like you, he might just be embrassed and doesnt know what to say to you. dont worry too much just give him some time and he'll unblock you when he's ready or the next time you talk to him or something just bring up that converstation. let him know that you feel the same and tell him about what happened. hope this helps!!

Q: Okay. So i really do love my boyfriend. And when i tell him i love him he always says something like "yeah right" or "sure you do" or "babe i know you dont love me" do you think he is just fishing for compliments or really serious. i love him more than anything. how can i convince him of that. please help

-Melissa AKA AFitchyy-
hey there!

i dont think that your boyfriend is ready to tell you he loves you too. he might even be afraid and sometimes guys are just flattered and dont know what else to say. next time ask him how he feels about you and ask him if he really knows that you love him. when you tell him that you love him and he says those things then just ask him why he is always sayin it because it really bothers you. just talk to him about things because then he'll know. give him sometime to think about things and dont force him to say he loves you. hope this helps!

Q: Today i got my senior picture proofs back and i emailed the ones i liked to my grandma. She looked at them and told my mom that i should of worn nicer shirts that showed more clevage and that i should of worn more make-up.

My cousn is the same age as me and shes getting senior pictures but her are going to be Glamour shots.

My grandma told me that i should of gotten glamour shots because they do the make-up for you.

I dont wear alot of make-up because i believe people dont need to wear it. Im nothing like my cousin shes really slutty and wears enough makeup for 10 people.

How do i tell my grandma that im not my cousin.
it hurts how she doesnt like any of my pictures.

thank you
hey there!

if your grandma brings it up again then just tell her straight out that you dont like being compared to your cousin because your being yourself. i know that she's your grandma but its not about her liking your pictures because its your pictures and you should love your pictures.
i have the same problem with my grandma she wants me to be just like my cousins but they are in college and im in high school. i dont want to be like them because they are really different from me. i just love the way i am and no one can tell you who you are or what you should do. hope this helps!

Q: I'm going into 9th and Kevin is going into 10th. He and I used to date last summer[I was going into 8th grade and Kevin into 9th grade] but we decided to break it off [since we won't be able to see each other[he would be in high school and I would be in middle] and my mom is overprotective like woah].

Now that I'm gonna be going into high school and I'd probably see Kevin around, he's been trying to get together with me--a lot--over the summer. [Wanting to come over my house, hang out with him at his, join this club that he's in, come to his work, go to the movies, etc.]And he just IMed me from 10 30 -11 30 at night while I was away 288 times for an hour ._0 And me and his/my friends thinks he wants to go out with me again.

The questions is, should I go out with him or not. I mean he's nice, funny, athletic, and smart. But he's also sometimes perverted like woah(I know that dudes being perverted is normal but him, it's like above normal), disgusting, and he and his friends do this whole thing where they do other people's homework and projects for money =/.

hey there!

first do you still like him? do you just care for him as a friend or more? do you think about him a lot? do you flirt with him just because you can or because you want to get back with him?

try thinking about the reasons as to why you went out with him before. dont let your friends and his friends pressure you to go back with him. no one can tell you you should go out with him or not. its your decision and its your life.

entering high school is a bit different because you'll be meeting new people and its a good experience to meet new people but its still good to have your old friends. you can work on your friendship with him to grow stronger. if you really like him then its your decision if not then dont even bother and let him know.

hope this helps!

Q: hii. i was looking for some advice. i'm not sure if this is normal or not. but i've always disliked my body, i've always considered myself fat- even if everyone says i'm fine and its just muscle. but i constantly count all of the calories in my food. i'm extrememly self concious...and i wish i wasnt. once in awhile if i feel gross after i eat i'll purge it up. but it's not like i do it constantly. once in awhile i'll avoid eating but yet other days i'll eat regular. i don't weigh myself every single day.. but i'll stand infront of my mirror and point out my flaws and how gross i am. i think i'm the "fat" one in my group and i hate it because all of my friends are thin. do i have a problem or is this okay? help pleasse . thank you
hey there!

this is normal because many people deal with this too everyone is self concious. you dont have a eating disorder yet but this is the first stage of having a eating disorder. try not to worry so much about looking fat or having some fat. what you think is fat is probably just you muscles. if u didnt have any fat on your body then you wouldn't be healthy. you can still be healthy with a little fat. do you ever see a steak without any fat? i know that i see the fat and if there wasnt any it wouldnt be good. i do the same thing i stand infront of my mirror and i know i have flaws but everyone does and i dont care much for the flaws its more about what do i have better than it. sometimes i even just ask myself what part of me am i bothered by and i'll try to work on it. what i do now is maintain what i eat, how much i eat, and when i eat. i also started doing some exercise before i go to bed. yes i am changing myself buts its for the better of trying to stay healthy. please try this i can say that it does help me and i know that it might help you. please start to love your body, your personality, just love yourself because if you dont you'll always be unhappy. if you want anymore advice then leave something in my inbox even if its about anything. i hope i helped!

Q: Okay so I know this isnt under the right catergory I just didnt know what to put it under.

Does pro-active really work ? Like the commericals say. Does it really clear you skin up well & prevent later break outs ? If so where can I buy it at a good price ? Because I dont want to order it from TV. Thanks in advance.
hey there!

i've been using proactiv for a couple of months now and it works great. my face got really clear and helps prevent break outs. you can go to the mall and there is might be a cart selling proactiv. remember that you should use it everyday twice, in the morning and at night. hope this helps!

Q: ive sort of got this thing for one of the guys i go to school with, at camp this summer we hung out and he was really sweet and we like flirted and stuff. I'm and athetic trainer which basically means i go to football practices and pass out water for hours and during class i learn sports medicine. I have his team ( hes a fish and im a sophmore) and when ever i see him at practice which is every day i have it he just looks at me, he doesnt even say hi and when he uses the waterbottles he throws them in the mud, then i have to clean them up. it so weird, at camp you would have thought he liked me, and now, well...im not so sure anymore...can someone please tell me whats going on? i dont care that hes younger or anything i just think its weird hes changed so much. thanks!
hey there!

he's probably acting different from when you hung out with him at camp because people at camp didn't know you guys and felt that he could be himself. now that he is in high school he might feel that he has to be like the other guys and can't be himself around the guys. maybe he didn't know that you guys go to the same school and that your older than him. if you want to know why he's acting like that then one day talk to him and ask him. hope this helps!

Q: My boyfriend is younger than me. We've been together for a little longer than 4 months and we couldn't be more perfect for eachother. He treats me more like a lady than I have ever been treated before..and he always is so sweet no matter who he is around. He'll tell me face to face how he really feels and how nothing can come between us. (I know it sounds phony, but it's really cute.) We both don't care if people deny we're in love or not, and I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend. But lately, its just little things that are making me feel like he doesn't like me as much anymore. He's just kind of lifeless when I talk to him ... and I'm not sure if it has to do with our friend moving away or if he just doesn't love me as much. help?
hey there!

dont worry! he's probably upset that his friend is moving away. most guys have trouble opening up and he only knows to shut down when it comes to other people. let him know that your also upset that your friend is leaving and ask him how he feels. he just needs support from someone so tell him that you are going to be here and hope that he will be there for you too. you might want to give him some time to hang out with his friend or let him have some time to himself. hope this helps!

Q: i like to wear long shirts but my stomach is a little chubby so i dont know what to do, because the long shirts make my stomach stick out and look big, what are some tips or suggestions i could do to make my stomach not look that big and still can wear long shirts??
hey there!

dont worry i got the same problem to and this is what you can do because i do it too...

you can wear a tank top or something else under it. when you buy your clothes try to find thicker material because thin ones show ur belly button. when you wear long shirts put a belt on top because thats in style now just remember dont make it too tight and it can be right on top of your belly button or on your hips.. if you want just do a couple of sit up at night before you go to bed..hope this helps!!

hey there!

its okay you shouldn't have to be embarrassed about telling your mom. you dont have to tell your friends but please talk to your mom about this because she can help you by bring you to the doctor. your mom probably doesn't notice because she doesnt know thats why you have to tell her. dont worry your mom isnt going to make fun of you.. hope this helps!

Q: My straightner can curl to, but I don't know how to curl with it. Can you give me step by step instructions??
hey there!

if you have long here its easier if you tie some of your hair up and some down. working on the bottom is the easier part of the two..
first you want to take a little bunch of hair and put the straighter at the very top of your hair..curl in towards you but dont make the straighter closed tightly together have it loose..then you work your way down to the very botton of your hair.. its really easy just becareful not to leave your hair in it too long.. sorry if this doesn't really make too much sense because its hard for me to tell someone how to do it...i'm more of a i'll show you person..well hope this helps!

Q: There's this guy who says he likes me (on this site) and I have no idea how to talk to him. Because I don't know who he is...he sent me a personal question about a girl named milly, me thinking it was a quincedent answered and when he gave me feed-back he said i like YOU (my name is milly)...so what do?
I don't get in a relationship with someone I don't know and I don't meet with someone somewhere who I talked to over the Internet...I want to ask him why and a bunch of questions...
please help if you know what I'm talking about and trying to say...
help!
hey there!

i think you should try talking to him a little more because he might be someone that you know. dont give out your personal information because then again you might not know him. its okay for you to ask him your questions because you dont know who he is and if he knows you then he can tell you real things. hope this helps!
