OK so here's what happened this weekend...
Friday; after work Jon came up to me and told me (with beautiful eloquence) that he fancied me.
Saturday; I went to meet him after work to talk to him.I was sufficiently confused that he guilt-tripped me into saying that I liked him back and getting his mobile no. etc.
Sunday; he asked me to meet him and we spent a couple of hours in town talking.
Monday;he asked me to meet him (again) and I said I had to much work to do.
Today; I will be seeing him and would like YOUR advice as to how to let him down.
He is a very sweet person but I don't like him enough to want to go out with him especially with the complication of working together.
HELP!

1) Say: "I want, like, 10 kids. No, really."
2) Get a tampon. While you are talking to him (face to face, or course), play with it in your hands, throw it up in the air, ect.
3)Criticize every girl you see, talking about how great you are.
4) Start eating random objects.
Or, you could always tell him, "I know you really like me, and I think you are a great guy, but I don't think this is going to work out."

How can I get my plastic glow in the dark stars to stay on my ceiling? That puddy stuff they give you just doesn't seem to be working and if I don't do something fast someone could lose an eye. (link)
| |
First of all, do you have a stucco ceiling (the bumpy kind) or a smooth one? Glue (not school glue, something a tad more potent) would work for a smooth one (a glue gun might work for bumpy ceilings as well), and tape (duct tape is THE ultimate adhesive) would work on both. If ALL else fails, buy the industrial glue that you have to squeeze out of a huge tube (its kind of like caulking), and that should work.

I hate you guys. You gave me terrible advice and now i am stuck in spanish and failing. THANKS (link)
| |
Some examples would be helpful... for instance what was the question???!!!!
|
|
So here's the deal. I have never had a g/f. But I have a very nice personality and I am very very funny. Whats wrong. HELP (link)
| |
Well, have you asked anyone out? That could help :-). Also, how old are you? If you are only 13 or something... well, there is still time, and you havn't had much time yet. Just act generally interested in girls, and dont JUST go for the "popular" ones. Also... you don't NEED a girlfriend, its just a perk in life!
|
|
I like this girl at my school but she is 1 year older than me and in 1 grade ahead of me. She is on my bus and lives really close to me. I dont think she is very popular or has a boyfriend witch is good because im not very popular I mean I have a lot of friends but we are not in the popular group. How should I ask this girl out, do you think its even worth asking her out? Its so hard for me to think of what to say plus I dont know when to asker her out. (link)
|
Well, I will answer your questions in order.
1) If you decide you want to ask her out, just say, "I care about you alot, and I was wondering if you would go out with me." Simple as that.
2) Of course it is worth trying, but you need to be realistic as well. First of all, how old exactly are you two? If you are 9 and 10, then the age difference matters a LOT more then if you were, say, 15 and 16. It sounds like there are no obvious barriers to you two going out (other then the SMALL age differnce, which isn't really a major problem), and actually the fact that you take the same bus and live close to each other should help out.
3) Refer to #2
4) Anywhere, as long as it is appropriate. On the bus would be fine if she is not busy talking to her friends, ect., or anywhere else for that matter would be fine too. Just dont ask at weddings, funerals, when she is busy with her friends, in emergancy rooms/during times of crisis, or when wiring a bomb. On the phone would be fine too.
In the end, it is your decision weather or not to ask her out, and you must be prepared for the possibility of rejection, and also for the possibility of her saying yes! Whatever you decide to do, just remember that this isn't the last girl you will ever know or go out with. Good luck!

Is there any open and unambiguous way to let a girl know she's charming, gorgeous, mesmerizing and brilliant without being miscontrued?
What if such a misconstrual would be right :) ? (link)
| |
Well, you could alsways just say, "I really care about you. I think you are charming, gorgeous, mesmerizing, and brilliant." If you say it seriously at an appropriate time, you shouldn't be miscontrued. But do not, and I repeat DO NOT, say it at a completely inappropriate time, such as at a funeral, when she is rushing to get to something that started 5 minuites ago, or when you are wiring a bomb togeather. Be serious, be sincere, and be caring about how you say it, and it should work out fine.

i cant spell and im proud of it am i normal? (link)
| |
Sure, why not? Being able to spell can help you along in life, but is not nessecarily (see, i cant spell either) needed. As long as you do okay in school and whatnot other than spelling, you are fine... hey I am a proud Dork, Nerd and Geek, so be proud of your inabilty to spell if it floats your boat!

how do you get a guy to like you if you are not a very pretty girl? (link)
| |
Okay, I am going to refer you to my advice column (http://advicenators.com/column.php?u=PixieTwist), and go to the last question. It is about becoming popular, but alot of it is basically the same.... good luck, but remember, you don't NEED guys to like you, and it is NOT nessecary... its a perk :-)!

I have a cold. I've been blowing my nose all day with these awful tissues and now it's all sore and I think i'm going to die. what do I do? stop blowing it? band-aid it so the snot just doesn't run out? sorry this is so gross. (link)
| |
Take an antihistamine and see if it works. In the mean time put petrolium jelly/vaseline on the sides of your nose (it will help with the soreness). But keep blowing it, just keep blowing it and then reapplying the jelly, and so on and so forth untill you have to blow no more.

do pop tarts qualify more as a "breakfast" or "junk food"? i'm aiming for breakfast here, don't let me down. (link)

I have a friend who's about to be initiated into Wicca. I know what Wicca's about, and that's mainly why I've been hoping he wouldn't. He's getting initiated on Saturday, and I'm really worried. Is there anything I can do to talk him out of it in five days?!? (link)
| |
Why would you want to talk him out of it? It is his choice, and besides, there is NOTHING wrong with being wiccan. It is a peaceful, nature/earth centred religion, and there is no reason to talk him out of it.

I don't know how to clean. Or budget but that's not the point. my room has gotten really dirty and I want to clean it so I can use it to practice for auditions, do homework, etc and not have to throw all my junk off my bed every night.
Does anyone have some cleaning tips, or something? Or can tell me how to clean? (link)
|
If your room is cluttered (like mine often is), what you probably need is some organizational things (shelves, bins, closet organizers). Also, it is very likely that you have things you dont need/want. If that is the case, I would advise doing this:
Take several boxes/garbage bags, and then start going through the stuff on the floor/laying on tables/generally cluttering up your room. In one garbage bag/box (i will refer to them as garbage bags for now on), put everything that you dont need and dont need, and that you will give away to your local thrift store. In another, put actual GARBAGE, a different bag for things you want but should be put away into storage, and finally the last one for the stuff you want, and can organize. After you have done this, go through the stuff in your closet, all your clothes, everthing else in your room.
Next what you want to do is organize the stuff you have. I hate to sound cliche, but you should attempt to have a place for everything, and everything in its place. Get shelves, closet organizers, bins, everything and anything. Go to your local home improvement, decor, and/or furniture store (such as Ikea, Sears, Home Hardware, Home Outfitters, ect.), and ask a salesperson for organizational tools... explain your predicament to them and they will try and probably can help.
In general, my advice for cleaning would be to not tackle it all at once. Do it in sections: one corner of your room, then your dresser, then a part of your closet, ect. Don't try to do it all at once or it is likely you will get overwhelmed. Also, once it is clean, make a concious decision to keep it that way. Instead of throwing your stuff on the ground, put it away, or things just accumulate and you will end up in the same situation you were before. Hope this helps... if you need more help just ask!

Ok, I play guitar..I have a guitar (always comes in handy), an amp and an fx pad. Answer this! What should I ask for when Christmas comes round? (link)
| |
Assuming you are asking what guitar-related things you should ask for, I would advise..: music, music, music, and some more music. You can never have enough sheet music. If you could and would like to be better at guitar (if you arn't that good, can't read music, or just would like to improve), ask for gift certificates/money for lessons. Also, you could ask for a wah-wah pedel, a whackload of picks (gotta love em', and alwasy come in handy as you would say), more/really cool/awesome/slammin straps, a new and unique case, an electric tuning thingie, bigger and louder amps, even bigger amps, and a REALLY LOUD AMP.

Should I dust my room when I can see cobwebs all over...well..everything? (link)
| |
Sure, why not? If there are cobwebs there is generally dust. Dust makes many people sneeze, even if it doesn't make you sneeze, so people who go in your room will be happier for it. Cobwebs look kinda bad, and it sucks to have your hands covered in cobwebs when you go to pick something up. On the other hand, it makes your room look very festive and halloween-y, and you have to admit, they are kind of cool. On a scale of one to ten (one being DO NOT DUST YOUR ROOM EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU and ten being DUST YOUR ROOM NOW!), this would be a eight. Have a nice day.

I have to drink coffee every day to survive. I don't drink a ton of it, probably two cups a day in the morning. My friends and I used to have a day we'd call "detox thursday" where we wouldn't drink coffee all day, but I was starting to hate detox thursdays because I felt tired and grumpy all day so I quit doing it with them. Does this mean I'm addicted? Is coffee really that bad for me? It's way better than soda, right? (link)
| |
Coffee contains caffine, which is highly addictive. In some ways it is better then soda because it doesn't do as much damage to your teeth, and it doesn't contain as many unhealthy sugars, fats, ect. It is very likely you are addicted to caffine. Withdrawl symptoms can include headaches, sleepyness and irritablity, the last two which you exhibited. Coffee can be bad for you in ways other than its addictive nature since the acid in it can cause stomach ulcers, and when the excess acid enters the blood stream, it also increases calcium loss in urine. To top it off, it also has no nutritional value. So, to answer your questions: yes, you are addicted; yes, coffee is not very good for you; and the last question is a matter of opinion (soda contains caffine too!).

My best friend Joleen has been dating this guy Tom for a month now. Tom and my friends Allison and Grace go to the same school, but Joleen and I go to a different one.
Well, Tom, Allison, and Grace's school had a homecoming festival. Allison, Grace, and this other girl Mary were hanging around a fire pit, when Tom comes up and sits on Mary's lap. Then, he says "Oh, no. I'll crush you, you can sit on my lap." and Mary did. Apparently, that wasn't all that happend, either. They were flirting a LOT.
Should I tell Joleen what Tom did? Or should I keep it to myself? (link)
| |
You should tell Joleen, but break it to her easy. She hasn't been going out with this guy that long, but she deserves to know he is a scumbag. Chances are this isn't the only time he has been unfaithful, but even if she decides to stay with him, she needs to know about this. Just remember, be gentle when telling her.

I have a full time job, required to pay the bills, and would like to complete a meaningful degree before I die. What is the best course of action to land me a degree as a personal accomplishment? (link)
|
Start saving your money. Slowly (or quickly), but surely, put money into the bank untill you have a decent sum. Now you have two choices:
1)If you have enough money, quit working, and go to school and pay the bills at the same time. You will have to save for a long time for this however.
2) Look into part-time studying. Many schools have programs for people who work full time, or are going back to school for a degree.
Now, to get into the university/collage of your choice you will need to have graduated from high school (probably). So if you havn't, get your butt back to high school and get your diploma. Then apply to a university.

I'm an athiest, but i don't try to force people to believe what I believe. I don't challenge other people's beliefs. I've had this one guy bother me for 5 years about being an athiest. (I go to a PK-12 school distict). He's always asking me why I'm not religious, why I don't believe in God, etc, ect, and so on. i've done everything I can think of, including inflicting bodily harm on him (well - I dropped a book on his head. But I don't even think that hurt him) but he won't stop. how do I stop him? (link)
| |
I would just be very blunt, and when he says things like that say, "I understand your opinions on this subject, and I would prefer not to talk about this subject." If he continues to press you, simply say "I said I wasn't going to talk about this" and walk away when he starts to ask you questions. Hopefully that will work.

ok i have a problem....there is this girl and she was one of my good friends untill one day her mom calls to complain all these mean thing that i did even though there not true....so what do i do...i cant just not be friends with her! SHES MY NEITHERBOR!!! (link)
| |
I would ask her mother, and her possibly, where they heard that you did those things. Chances are someone just got mixed up, or there was a mis-communication. Also, tell them that those things are not true... if possible, offer proof. Explain how you would never do anything to hurt her (physically or emotionally), and try to generally make conversation with her. Hopefully, things will go back to normal eventually.
