Q: theres this guy i like, his name is collin. hes really good friends with my friend jessica. i think collin likes me but thinks he doesnt have a chance with me. i've asked him to come to dances and stuff with us but he always doesnt come. i know he likes me alot and i like him but he just doesnt know i like him. i guess what im asking is how do i get him to notice i like him without seeming too obvious?? thanx alot

Maybe you should just come right out and tell him that you have feelings for him but if that's too extreme for you maybe you should just try little things like sitting with him at lunch, asking for his opinion in things, give him a hug goodbye when you're leaving, stuff like that...little things. well I hope i helped; this isn't always the easiest thing to do.

Q: is it ok to flirt with guys if ur goin out with someone?

I think it's only okay if your bf/gf doesn't care and as long as it doesn't get out of hand; make sure the person you're flirting with knows you're taken so they won't think you like them or aer leading them on. hope i helped

hey~don't worry quite so much. I was 3 months late and i swore i was pregnant and if i was my parents would hate me, his parents would think badly on me, and i'd have to drop out of school..i worried myself sick. Three months i got nothing and then i started it was the happiest day of my life. Just think there are a lot of things that can make you skip/late: #1 have you always been regular? #2 if you're stressed you can tend to skip #3 not eating are or if you're anorexic/belemic etc. And remember your mom loves you, she may be mad but she will help you in any way she can.

Q: Hey there. Well, I started birth control last Sunday. I haven't even been on it for a complete week. Well, my boyfriend and me had sex, and I read in this little book I have about the birth control I'm taking, and it says it takes a month for birth control to become effective. I really worried now. Is there a chance I could get pregnant? I mean, does it actually take a month, or do they mean, the first time you take it, it's effective?

hey~okay see there is a very good chance that you can and will get pregnant on your first time...I should know I've run into that problem. Birth control does not effectively start working until a month after you've been taking it and you should take it everyday around the same time. You can get pregnant a week before and after your period it is just not as likely as any other time. I hope all this helped you!
