Growing up I've also been an outcast. I've never really made friends. I don't even think I really have a close bond with my mother, who raised me by herself. I've had one boyfriend before but things never sparked for either of us so we moved on after a couple of months of trying. I don't want to be alone all of my life but I can't seem to be a match for anyone. It's really depressing but I'm pretty use to being alone.

My question is pretty simple, I think...

Does everyone find love?

I'm 26 and have never found love. Did it pass me by? Will I be alone forever? (link)
honestly most people will tell you that love is horrible and your heart gets broken but the truth is i dont belive that. everyones heart gets broken and tahts normal and ok. but i belive everyone has their one and only. and he will come. but one thing is to not find him. and its a whole nother thing to just not want him. mabie you see someone everyday but your not really interested in him and he is your destiny :) :) ... anyways my point is no you will not be alone forever unless you want too. and just give it time. you will find love. go out. go shopping go anywere. he's bound to be out their somewhere. :) i hope i helped you. -the mind has a thousand eyes, and the heart but one; yet the light of a whole life dies when love is done.


my girlfriend and I have been dating awile and i want to call her some cute nicknames but im having troubles coming up with ones i know she will like. She favors calling me mija (this does make me lesbian) and i call her the normal babe, baby, amor and i call her tesoro which means treasure in spanish, but i need something new and romantic, not corny please. Thanks in advance (link)
hmm mabie you could call her things like mi carino (means my sweety) also spanish/ i just cant seem to remember how to get the spanish n on this keyboard sorry for that. mi chichi its like my baby but i think its sexyer. mabie if your like in a spicey mood you could call her mi sexy amor. its the same as my sexy love. sexy is the same in spanish as it is in english. i hope i helped you. goodluck.


I'm 17/F
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 7 months now. I want to get him something for valentines day, but i dont have a job or a lot of money saved up. I want to buy him something special, creative, but also affordable.
he's into basketball,xbox360, hip hop/rap music.
thanks. (link)
hey hey i dont really know that much about basket ball but my boyfriend likes x box 360 as well and he loves loves loves when i buy him microsoft points.. its so like you can download games like buy them but online. and u can do other thing as well. mabie if he really likes x box u could get him that and its affordable. its like $20 for 1600 points and more expencive. i hope i helped. :) :)


So heres the dealio...I want to get fingered my friend did and said it was amazing? so uhm like i wanna do it with a older guy.no strings attached i am not a relationship girl at all i mean im not planning on sex just yet but i do wanna do some sort of sexual stuff? what do i do? and i am not going to finger myself so dont mention it? mm? help hah i sound like a immature little 10 yr old im not tho ahh (link)
hey hey.. hmmm mp strings attahed?.. mabie try to hook up with an older boy from your school thatsa perv and likes things like that. im sure your school has those types of boys and im pretty sure they will be willing to do what u want no strings attached.. goodluck. :)


im 15 years old. and weigh about 165 pounds. i hate everything about me. im fat and ugly. my sisters 19 and i hate seeing her. shes so pretty and skinny. but everyone says we look exactly alike. i think im suffering from depression. i need help. its not normal to hate urself. i hate myself. i wish i was dead sometimes. people call me fat and ugly and i cry my eyes out and i feel like a little baby for it. i need help asap. i barely goto school. cuz im always worried about how i look and i hate it . i hate myself so much =[ (link)
hey im not going to lie to you so please dont get mad at me. i dont really care for ratings so you can give me a 1 if you like or as you prefer any way the point is.. you are 15 and you weigh 165 unless you are like 5'8 or 6 foot you most likely are pretty obese. and thats ok. its nothing to be ashamed of. just start with a healthy diet. no pills or anything will help your boby as much as heating healthy and doing exersize belive me. those pills all over t.v will make you look skinny but your body is dying on the inside. and really you dont have to start exersizing right away just start out with a healthy diet. just eat your 3 meals a day and dont try to stop eating because its bad. and once you have lost about 10 pounds from eating healthy adn stop eating sweets and junk food (because you will lose weight from just doing that) you can start to walk.. walking is fun if you make it fun and its one of the greatest exersizes you can do because you burn fat from all over your body not just your legs. and by making it fun i mean bring a friend over and walk with her or call a buddy and talk or text while u walk. walk for about 30 minutes a day or swim make up your own exersize plan to help you and you will see the diffrence adn you will feel allot better. please be safe and i hope i helped. -nina

so, im the new girl at my school. im a freshman in high school.ni went to my old school for 9 years and knew everyone in my grade. we were small, but comfy cozy, i could have stayed there, but i decided to switch. i had lots of friends and lots of guy friends. i was really outgoing, and that was just my personality. everyone knew me so i could act however i wanted without anyone saying anything rude. ive never been a new student before so i really didnt know how to act. somehow, these 2 girls who i thought were my friends, started to hate me, and now i feel awkward around them and whenever i do something, i always get a feeling they'll find out and judge me about it, when at my old school, i didnt have to worry about that stuff. i want to be friends with them, but they are extremely bitchy and i dont know what i should say to them. they think i started stuff with them, when i really didnt. but heres what i really need some help on. im not friends with a lot of guys at my school, and its making me feel like ive lost my outgoinging"ness". lots of my friends are friends with guys, but i never put myself out there anymore because im afraid what people will think. i dont know how to get me out of this. its been worrying me for awhile now. i know it takes time to make friends, but i really want some guy friends. i dont know if this takes a long time or whatnot, im just a little nervous. i never hangout with anyone from school, just friendsfrom my old school, is this a bad thing? how do i appraoch that i wanna hangout with friends from school? im feeling a little bit of regret for leaving my old school, i kind of wish i stayed. sometimes i really like it, and sometimes i dont, like now. i dont know how to tell my mom this.. (link)
hey sweety dont worry about them. those girls are probly jelous of you. their is always gonna be someone who wants to put you down and when our young you feel liike any little think is the end of the world and i completely understand how you feel but telling those girls off is one thing that you are gonna need to do now or later. they are one of your problems of feeling nervouse. and about talking to guys.. dont worry what any girl thinks make guy friends. guys are shy.. they act like they know everything but most guys wont talk to you unless you talk to them first. try to make silly conversation.. show your bubbly side and you will see that guys love it. and in my personal oppinion i wouldnt leave just becasue those girls are bothering you. and if you dont want to start anything with them the next time they tell you something just tell them that you came here to start new and fressh and dont need there snotty attitudes to ruin your new start also let them know in a stern voice that you dont want any problems but they need to back off or you will tell a teacher because they keep harrasing you. i hope i truely helpped you be carefull and remember to just be yourself. :) -nina.


17/f

me and my boyfriend just had sex about one hour ago, and apparently afterwards he told me right away to rinse because he wasn't sure if the streak on his balls were his or mine so he told me to rinse right away. the thing is, i was quite confused a bit because usually the streak on his balls he usually says that it was my cum, and it happens everytime we have sex and i wasn't pregnant from it. the streak on his balls looked like the usual thing, my cum. it's always on his balls. and the thing is it wasn't around my vagina, it was around my butt hole.. he says it was "perfectly organized" around my butt hole, and nothing else was near my vagina. which again, i thought it was normal because after we have sex i usually have white stuff around my butt hole. but he didn't know that cause i didn't want to tell him now and then i stick my finger on my butthole to see what's making it feel really weird and it's white. after i said that, he was alot more sure that it was my cum instead of his. but we're still being careful about it, and he's getting plan b just in case. i took plan b before, about 4 months ago. so my question is... if i took plan b for the first time 4 months ago, would it still work as it did before? what's your opinion on this? we're hoping that we're just overreacting on this. and his mom mentioned something about a condom and a sponge for protection.. what's a sponge? (link)
hello. dont worry it probley was your cum and not his and the probability of it working is 98% the same. ive taken it many times and it works. :) and if im not mistaken the sponge is sort of like a condom for the girl to wear. hope i helped. :)


My Original question:
Help! I am 2 weeks late on my period.

I am never regular (and usually late) but this time especially, I am freaking out. I have not had sex since October, but I have done other things (in a safe manner) since my last period involving male body fluids. I am not on birth control.

In October, I had 2 periods and it was really weird. In November, I was on my period from around the 19th to the 24th. December has been super stressful for me because I have had college midterms and I found out my boyfriend of 2 years has cheated on me and I broke up with him.

Do you think I could be pregnant? Or what the chances are of becoming pregnant without having sex? I can't think of any reasons I could be pregnant. No fluids ever went inside of me.

Do you think it could have to do with doubling up on my period in October? Or the stress?

Exactly 1 year ago I had the same problem and skipped my December period all together.

I don't know what to think anymore and I'm very scared.


UPDATED*****:
It's been about 3 weeks now and a few days ago I started getting this dark red/brown discharge. It looks like old blood. It's been a lot by now and still going and this has happened before. Do you think I am okay when it comes to being worried about being pregnant? Is this a sign that I'm not pregnant? I don't really know what this is.

I've gotten the brown/red discharge type thing instead of a period before. (link)
hellow. first off id say to ctay calm. stressing out makes your period even more irregular. and also if you have been seeing a redish brown discharge it just means your period is on its way. trust me. and if you had SAFE sex or lets call it sex games. you should not be worrying.


18/f
so my boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 months. Our relationship has been really great and I love him so much.... But I seem to have lost interest. I never feel like having sex anymore and find my self feeling jealous of single people. What's wrong with me, or is it just something I'll get over. (link)
i have been in your situation before and by what yuo have told me i'd say your problem is you love him but like a friend and not like a boyfriend anymore. you would give anything for him if he needs it but your not inlove with him anymore. im sorry. i hope i helped.


There's this guy that told me he likes me...Can we call him Mike?

We text a lot & we joke around all the time with each other

Mike was just texting me and we were talking and suddenly he started swearing at me totally randomly...like calling me a fucking bitch...and then he would send a message like "ahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahah" and then go back to swearing at me.

Um what's the deal? I couldn't tell if he was being serious or joking, because everytime I would tell him to knock it off he'd say "fuck you bitch"

.....
Thanks. (link)
mabie he really isnt that into you, he doesnt act ilke it.ask him whats his problem and if he doesnt want to tell you just dont talk to him anymore. or if he tells you he's just joking just tell him you dont like that and to stop.


Do Crest whitening strips actually work?
I can't exactly trust an ad for this information, so if you have actually used the Crest whitening strips, could you tell me whether or not they worked for you?
I just want to know if they're worth getting. (link)
hello. yes. they really work. i have them and have been using them for 1 year and about 5 months and i plan on using them in the future. they are totaly worth them money also. they bleached my teeth in about 3 days. hope i helped.

wow now you got me. im sorry. i cant answer that honestly. i would think not. but i really have no idea. i use one every 2 days. and my teeth are still white. sorry.


Hey Nina :) It's Erica again. Happy New Year!!! Thanks so much for dealing with me and my crazy life :P I just realized in my last message I wrote it twice. Im so sorry i dont even know how that happened :S I guess you could see even when im writing about this guy im "head over heels for him" :D Anyway i just got a message back from him. And he told me all his hobbies and that he's single and all this other great stuff about him. Wow just wann.a say he's like my perfect match. Ok so now he's asking me back.. like do i work or school, my hobbies, if i visit nyc alot, who do i live with. And... if i have somebody in my life!? Umm i just hope im not making this fake profile girl and him get matched heheh? And i just feel this thing that maybe he's getting the feeling that the fake profile is someone that he knows.. probably not me but? All the things that he wrote he doesnt really seem too much like that in person, its like he wrote exactly what i wanted to hear. And im going to create a real profile under me.. but the thing is he only has like 2 friends so it was like hard finding him (only somebody like me could find him :P ) that maybe would he figure out it was me all along. I need your help again :) Btw i just realized you have an email address is it ok if i email u from now on.. because im not to comfortable exposing my deep life on here. Thanks so much take care.. ~ Erica (link)
hey Erica. happy new year :P of course you can write me to my e-mail. thats perfectly fine. creating a new profile under your name is good. i like that idea. i still think he is just being friendly with the "fake" girl. and their could be a possibility he suspects its you. i would make a profile of you asap incase he is getting to attached to the "fake" profile. hehe. i hope i can help you more in the future Erica. :)


I really want to get healthy, my problem is; I don't know where to start...

I just need some advice on supplements/vitamins & minerals - and/or food that would significantly help me.

If anyone knows a great way to get healthy and feeling good everyday, please, inform me about certain things which could help out.
Thanks in advance! (link)
hey a good place to start being healthy is haveing a right attitude about it and eating a healthy breakfast lunch and dinner for a while. let your body take in your diffrent eating habbits (oh and if i may.. i recomend eating alot of greens anything green (vegtibal wise) :pand drinking A LOT of water) ok and after about 4 days of heating healthy start doing exersize. dancing burns tons of calories and running or simply walking around your block. :) :) hope i helpped. -nina.


i've had my tongue pierced for just over 5 months. by now about how long should i be able to leave the ring out without it closing? (link)
hey :) five months is real short in tongue time :P ... i think you should wait at least 1 year. i had my tongue pierced for about 7 months and i took my ring out and left it out for a week thinking it would be ok and it closed. i was so sad :( hope i helped.


I'm still worried I am pregnant because it's not normal for me to be getting cramps like this, and I'm not even on my period. Usually when I am on my period, I only get back aches. I have been taking Midol and that seems to be helping but it's abnormal for me to be getting these cramps so I'm still worried :( (link)
ok i looked into it some more and if you are pregnant usualy some earlie symptoms are tender breasts and you feel real tired. and if you dont want your parents to know look for a health clinic in your area they will give you a free pregnancy test. and although your feeling back pains in your case it doesnt nesesarily mean your pregnant because in a pregnant women her lower back starts to hurt because of weight gain and if you are pregnant (wich i highly doubt) yours hurts only about 2 weeks after sex wich is impossible for it to be a pregnancy sign becasue the most you could have gained in 2 weeks is mabie 3 pounds :) so thats a plus.. look at your areolas its the dark area around your nipples if it is getting darker and growing in diameter its becasue your breasts are getting ready to breast feed. but remember dont scare your self. :) relax.


Hi Nina :) I dont think my other message got sent so I said lemme send another one :) Thanks so much for your advice. Im the girl that wrote earlier about the fake profile thing. Just wanted to give you an update and well.. ask for some more advice :P ok first off i didnt hear from you till the day after (btw- no problem I totally understand) so I just wrote him a message off the top of my head. I said no im new to this site.. i just wanted to make some new friends close to where i live. And also said which 'fake name' were you talking about. He wrote a message back giving her last name and also he said where are you from. Ok so then I read your message and did what you said and messaged him back saying no im not the 'fake name' that you know. And i said but you seem like you would have been happy if i was the girl you knew... why are you two close? Then i told him i live in new jersey (and some city in there that i visit often) even though i live in new york because i figured he might put 2 and 2 together :) And to make it seem like i dont know about him- i asked what about you, and how old are you btw. Ok so then he wrote back saying nothing about how he's related to the girl and also lied about his age making it younger :s and wrote that he's on vacation in hawaii right now for a couple of days (i was wondering what happened to him.. see i did good :D ) and that he lives in ny but he visits a restaurant there often (which i also visit when i go there.. weird) and said if you want i can invite you and you can come with your friend. Ok obviously im not gonna show up there. And o.m.g why is he inviting people off the internet that he doesnt even know what they look like- at least he said with your friend but still.. not liking the situaion here. I kindly turned down the offer and said its just that i dont meet people off the internet, dont take it wrong its not you and besides thats why i didnt put a picture either. Something also made me say.. besides people can find somebody very easily off the internet these days. Hi Nina :) Thanks so much for your advice.

I AM SO SORRY I WROTE SO MUCH :( ~Erica~
(link)
hey erica soooo sorry im taking forever to write you back. umm.. dont worry. he most likely just wants to make a friend and be nice or he probobly didnt have any intention of of meeting "fake name" and her friend either :P he was just being nice as were you. we know he doesnt like "fake name" and thats definately a plus :) :) and he hasnt been talking to you cuz hes in hawaii :) :) also good. my advice would be make a new account and tell him its the real you :D hes abviously a good guy. if he wanted to be a perv he could have invited "fake name" alone and not with her friend... keep me updated girl :) good luck. -nina.

hmm... if you dont mind telling me, how old are you? mabie your getting older and your body is changing. and you also could be having cramps becasue you just had sex. dont worry please you did use protection.


15/f

I recently lost my virginity to a guy who I thought to be a good guy. Now I learn he's a tweaker, he's a stealer, he's a liar, and he's an asshole. All of this I gathered from other people and although some may see that as an inappropriate source, its from people who care about and so I don't doubt them. They've known him longer and have been his close friends. I believe them.

I know I should leave him. I know I need to leave him, but it's just...it doesn't feel that simple to me. He was my first and for some reason I feel attatched to him. Even though I have no real relationship with him, I'm afraid of losing him and I don't understand why.

I've never felt that vulnerable in my life and for some reason don't want to leave him after becoming that vulernable with him...becuase it was a hard thing to do, you know?

So, I was just wondering if you guys could give me some advice. I'm not really sure what my question is since I know I need to leave him for my well being but still..it's difficult...and I would honestly appreciate some friendly advice because when it comes to losing him bascially for some strange reason : it scares the fuck out of me. (link)
hey :) i know its hard and if you belive your friends thats ok too. but if you like him that much and he hasnt hurt you or done anything mean or hurtfull to you just stay with him. your 15. i dont want to ruin your dreams or anything because i dont know the future so dont get mad :) but honestly i dont think you will be with him all your life. you have a long way to go. so for now just have fun and be carefull and safe, and if you really like this guy then talk to him about it and try to get him out of these bad habits he has. that way you can help him and still be with him. hope i helped.


Hi, I am very confused and hoping that you could please help me. I am currently interested in someone. We both talk to each other and he seems that he is interested in me as well. I wanted to get to know the person more before anything else so I searched him on the internet and found that he is a member on a social networking site. I wanted to ask him a couple of questions but without him knowing it was me. I figured I could ask him the questions that I had stuck in my mind more comfortably so I joined the site and gave a fake name in my profile. I added him as a friend and he accepted. I then sent him a message thanking him for accepting my invitation. He said your welcome but also asked are you the 'Fake Name' I know. I'm not sure how to reply. I don't know if I should tell him my real name. Also I want to know who the girl by that name is if possible. Please help me. I need a response a.s.a.p. Thank you very much in advance... (link)
hey :)ok first of all i would like to apologize for answering late i well asleep earlie last night. ok now i dont think you should tell him who you are just yet, because you havent asked him any of your questions. and after you ask your questions that you want to know i still wouldnt tell him its you because you never know he might think your a little wierd for trying to spy on him :P so i think it would be better to make another account and just put your name on it and talk to him as you. and about the "fake name" situation... just tell him no im not the "fake name" you know. im a diffrent one.. and if your curiouse to know who she is just ask who she is. ...you know, on your fake account. after you get everything you want to know i would (like i said earlier) make a new account as you. :) i hope i helped you. i hope everything works out for you. let me know how it goes k? -nina/


Hey, thanks for the advice. It made me feel better. Just wondering, it's been almost two weeks and I'm getting cramps and stuff. Is it possible to experience PMS symptoms when I am not on my period and have it actually be because of PMS? (link)
hey :) yes it is possible. its because you are off your period. sometimes it takes a while for your system down there to adjust. donw worry. im glad i helped. and if you need anything im here. -nina.
