I'm a 17 y/o guy in highschool with a mad crush on this girl that I've known since middle school. In middle school, she tried to hook up with me in an indirect way with obvious hints but then I didn't have any idea what to do so we stayed friends. I guess I was still in that cootie phase of puberty. But now I'm a junior in highschool and recently she's been on my mind alot like crazy. There's something about her that keeps my head stuck on her all the time, other girls might catch my attention but damn she got something special. There are a few guys that are trying to hook up with her but I heard from word of mouf that she likes me. Now that I've given you the intel on my situation, I was wondering what would you do to get the girl or to improve the chances of hooking up with her? I'd be real grateful if you can help me out.

Dear 'Love sick' :)
First and foremost I must say you have in your favor that the two of you were and (are) friends first, believe it or not that makes things a lot easier. All you need to do is be honest with her, tell her exactly what you told me. Let her know that shes been on your mind a lot lately,and that even though there may be a lotta other girls that may catch your eye they just dont have what she has,and that some people spend a lifetime looking for that special someone,and youd hate to let that oppurtunity slip past the two of you. Yanno? the worst that happens is that the two of you try it out for a while and decide that the best relationship for the two of you is to be the best of friends. Just for what its worth I was in your same situation with my bestest friend in the world. we felt the same way, we did everything together until we tried that oh so awkward next step...turns out we were just too close we felt like we were brother and sister,so for us we tried and we were just better off best friends, and for 15 yr now we STILL consider each other our bestest friend,he was even in my wedding this pat October2nd....and we live over how it turns out 4 hours away from one another!...so let fate take its course, all you can do is help nudge it along a little bit,...whats meant to be will be, but through it all the two of you must remember you were friends before anything else, so dont lose sight of that! :) Hope this helps!

ok i met this guy online and said i was 15..that was 2 yrs ago and now im "17" im really only 14 goin on 15!!! well this guy is really amazing hes sent me pix of him n salutes saying he real....we talk on the fone and everything...i told him a diff name...diff age...and sent him fake pix...he thinks its me..and hes coming out to where i live in 2 yrs for his senior trip...he sed hes told him mom about me and wants to bring me back where he lives!! i wish i was erally who i said i was bc i want him!! he even told me he loves me and thers no other gur like me!! hes totally in love with me and wev been talkin for 2 yrs now!!!!!!!! WAT DO I DO?? do i jst delete my fake screen name and everything...i cant tell him!! he mite call me and that wuld freak me out bc hed b really angry...he picked to come out to see me for his senior tip in stead of goin to the bahamas and im not even real!!!! WAT DO I DO?? =\

Dear 'faker'
Tell him the truth,....if hes really into you like you say he is,..then hell undestand,I mean 2 yrs is a long time to be talkin to someone,besides,if its your personality thats kept him interested this long? then things should be no different. If its meant to be itll be, and hell respect you more for telling hi the truth rather then leading him on. Just for wat its worth I met my fiance' online (grin) weve been together 6 yrs now and were getting married this Oct 2nd! So believe me when I tell you ..if its meant to be it will be! :) Dont sweat it, besides you dont wanna build a relationship on lies,...ask yourself how 'you' would feel if the tables were turned? If 'he' was the one who had been lying,and 'you' were really into him and his personallity..wouldnt you rather he tell you? If you really liked him then it wouldnt change...you cant just turn feelings for someone on and off yanno? And besides you have time on your side,*smile*
Good Luck! Hope this helps! Lemmie know what happens!

whats bipolar mean?

Dear 'Webster'
Bipolar is characterized by the alternation of manic (happy)and depressive(sad) states of mind.

As in 'Bipolar disorder' this type of person swings back and forth between happy goofy periods of well being to sudden sad nasty or 'feeling blue' once the manic state is over. The best way to describe it is the 'manic,or happy period is the "high" for that particular person and once the "high" is over then the "down" time comes.
Hope this helps :)

how do you tell a guy you don't like him if he likes you without hurting his feelings?!

i rate high! =)

Dear Chelsea
Why not something like Option#1
" You know ,...Ive been thinking, and I value our friendship so much that I am willing to sacrifice the fact that we cant be together in that way B/C of jeapordizing what we have as friends. Wouldnt you agree?"
OR Option #2
" Im just not ready for that kind of relationship right now, but I am flattered that you would think of me that way"
Then theres always Option #3
"If I were into guys youd be my top choice, so sorry Im Gay...but hey? we can still be friends cant we?" (grin)
Hope these helped Lemmie know :)

I might be suicidal. i dont know but i do think about killling myself a lot
so i guess i am... so someone help... and actually help!

Dear 'friend'
Prayer....a lot of prayer. God works in mysterious ways. Everyone has a special purpose on this earth,even though we may not know what it is.Hang in there,do you have friends or family you trust that you could speak with? If so that may be a good idea, if not how about a counselor or preacher?
(BTW I dont mean to shove religion down your throat as I do not know your prsonal beliefs however if you would try this you will soon see that all things are possible) If you have a bible flip around the pages till you feel you should stop,place your finger on a section randomly and see what God is saying to you...I shall remember you in my prayers as well.
Good Luck and God Bless,please feel free to drop me a line should you ever need to talk:) Hope this helps some :)

Is 8 months a long time to go out with someone when your 14?

Dear 'sense of Time'
8 months is a very long time to someone when they are 14 however when you look at the 'big' picture of 80+ yrs?....(which is the average life span),...its only a stepping stone in ones life. So dont let time be the factor let the amount of feelings you had in hat time. :) Hope this helps Good Luck

Is it dorky to roll up your jeans if their to long or is that in style? j/w

Dear 'Jeans'
Well first of all it depends on your sex? If your male then I would hafta sy no, it would be better to get them hemmed if at all possible ( most places will do it for only a coupla bucks) owever the opposite is true if your female. In fact this years tend is rolled jeans,but by rolled I mean large roll....a good rule of thumb is between the ankle and midcalf as far as height. (also when rolled this way most wear flip flops or sandles of some sort) when the look it done right it almost gives the same impression of 'capri pants'
Hope this was helpful Good Luck to ya!

OKay guys! On the first day I have narrowed it down to two diffrent choices:

1. blue jeans, a halter top w/ a cute shirt (the kind that have the buttons at the top that u leave undone (i know complicated to explain), black flip-flops, and a pink and black purse and pink and black back-pack!

2. blue jeans, a dark pink and blue shirt (the polo kind) with pink flip flops and a pink and a pink and black purse and pink flip flops!!

3. other.

okay please choose one!!!!! :D Keep in mind I am starting a new school and I'm confused about the style!! Thanks guys!

Dear 'Fashion Frenzy'
Definatly #2 Its suggests sophistication (polo) as well as down to earth and fun (flip flops) not to mention a lil flirty (hence the pink) What better way to start your year? :) Good Luck hope this helps!

does anyone know some good stores for back to school shopping??????!!!!

Dear 'Frugal'
Theres always your local WalMart and or KMart...however if youd lke 'my' opinion,...you should check out your local GoodWill or Salvation Army. Most cities have on or the other if not both and there are some great deals! youd be suprised at the clothes you can get for a buck or 2! All you need is some time and a lil creativity,you cant go wrong! (did you know that some of the most famous teen/pop stars admit to LOVING a good find at their fave thrift store?) WellI hope this was of some use...good luck and happy school shopping!

how can my friend get rid of camel toe?i kno its stupid but it serious

Dear 'Concerned'
More than likely shes wearing pants that are too small for her, maybe suggest she wear some looser fitting jeans (or pants) another cause is lack of underwear does your friend wear underwear? youd be suprised how many girls dont...if not that will help greatly! hope this helped :)

Yes. It's another one of those Dating complaints. Although I know there are way too many of these, I'm afraid I'm going to have to contribute.

I'm currently dating a young man who is five years older than I am. (I am fourteen and he is nineteen, if that helps any.)

No one really knows that I am with him. I haven't told my friends nor have I told my family, of course. I don't want to be forced to break up with him just because my family believes the age difference is too much. *shrug*

Anyways...One of the problems in our relationship is...we have never met. We're dating over the internet. And, although this may seem silly and (that I know personally and who knows him personally and has met him) and ever since the first time I talked to him, I found myself attracted to him. He asked me out and we've been together ever since.

Of course...It all seems rather...odd. I've never had an internet relationship, before, and I've never had a relationship this serious. I've actually thought about my future with this guy. Marriage, kids, etc.

I really don't know that much about him, though. And he's hesitant to tell me very much.

Should I get out of this relationship? Should I ask him to tell me more about himself? Is there something that I need to do? I'm confused...And I know I don't really have any specific questions. I just need advice.

Thank you. :)

Dear 'Dating'
First of all let me say...you are still young and you have your whole life ahead of you yet. Having said that and on a happier note you should not make AY rash decisions...especially when it comes to love. Your fear of your parents knwing the age difference may be your instinct telling 'you' that its a lil steep as well (your parents are on your side really...youll learn as you get older) in eiter case let me tell this too.... Love on the internet DOes happen and CAN work,..I know because I am with my Internet 'sweetie' ...we were together online several months...dated for over a yer (it was a lil hard I didnt drive at the time and he was 2 and 1/2 hours away. we eventually moved in together...and after what has now been 6 years later we are getting married this October! we have a 4 year old son (I alredy had a lil girl from previous relationship) ANYway it can workif taken slowely and carefully! I love him more tan life iteself and I know he feels the same sooo hang in there and let things happen...they always have a way of working out! but if you feel you love him and he feels the same for you than he will wait. And your parents approval is always helpful.:) Good Luck! lemmie know!! :)

For the past few months, I have had a very uncomfortable pain around my tailbone.

It's mostly when I'm sitting a certain way. And I'm not entirely sure why and when it started but it bothers me.

I'm afraid this could mean something awful. My uncle told me that it could be cancer and, although he was 'joking', I was scared. What if it is?

Anyways. I'm afraid to go to a Doctor because I'm very uncomfortable with people touching me and, of course, he'll have to see my...butt. (Yes, I said butt...XD) Anyways...It makes me really uncomfortable to have someone, even a professional, touch me. But I'm afraid that if I don't go to the doctor, and it's something serious, I'll end up getting really sick and/or dying.

Thank you, in advance, for your help. This may seem silly, I know. I understand that I will get a lot of 'Just go to the freaken doctor, dumbass' but...it's really not quite that simple.

Thanks, again.

Dear 'My Tailbone'...
More than likely you have bruised or fractured your tailbone,...this coud be caused by an incident as serious as falling down the stairs to something as simple as bruising it while wrestling around. in either case there is little to be done for this and it is very painful. Most likely you will just haftawait it out...depending on the injury it may take anywhere from 1-4 weeks. Have you had any accidents lately that could acount for this? If not and the pain persists ore than 2 weeks you should definatly see about it. On a better note as comfort goes there are 'donut' pillows for sale...WalMart has them for under 10 bucks...its a pillow with hole in te middle (hence the name) lol anyway if you use that to sit on it will allow it to heal much quicker as there wont be any weight placed on it. Good Luck! hope this helps! btw I fell off monkey bars when I was younger (some 15yrs ago) and shattered my tailbone so I feel your pain!! Good luck! hope ta hear fro ya! :)
