Q: To put it simply.. my so-called close friend pretty much screwed my guy and lied blatantly to my face about it.

So this girl is what most people would call a 'sexual predator' (my friends' term). She apparently has gone after every single guy i've liked or like since i've known her, which was just this year. At the beginning of the school year, after she found out i like a guy in her trombone section, she started flirting with him nonstop. That ended after a while and i had this whole unofficial relationship with one of my guy friends that i didnt tell her about. Senior Prom came after that and after she saw who i went with, she kept her on him. The week after prom, she started hanging all over him and flirting with him heavily and nonstop. Am i just being paranoid?

Well let's see, two weeks after that.. she FINALLY found out about how i was unofficially dating one of my guy friends. That same week, she started flirting with HIM nonstop and getting all over him. She then decided she liked him and proceeded to tell him so. But to me, she told me that she just told him that she thought she liked him but she really didnt and that they didn't do anything because he didn't care. I already knew she was lying then, but i didn't know to what extent. Then last night, one of my closest guy friends who was also close friends with the guy, told me that she had gotten farther than me with him. wait. what?

So apparently this girl had been acting all normal around me and acting like a 'great' friend (not that i really trusted her anymore) while she was secretly releasing her sexual frustrations on him and same with him on her. I mean, just last night she texted me to hang out. Like hell im going to hang out with her anymore. It makes me cringe just to think about all the lies and crap shes been doing behind my back. What kind of 'good' friend does that to you?

So my final question is.. what do i do? Some of my friends want me to chew her out, confront her with all the horrible things she's done to me (besides trying to take my guys.. also take my friends). Most of my friends already don't like her because truth be told she is a complete b*tch and she knows it but doesnt care. She's violent, shes mean, she's a liar and shes hella easy if you know what i mean. So with graduation approaching in about 5 days, should i just let things go and pretend it never happened once summer starts? Because i will probably end up seeing both her and the guy over the summer. Or should i b*tch her out before leaving because i probably wont see her ever again after i go to college on the other side of the USA? I'm not a very confrontational or loud person, but this girl has seriously made my life a complete mess.. some serious advice please?
I'm afraid I agree with your friends on this one you can't let her get away with this behavoiur. You can't honestly believe that she is your friend if she keeps tryin to take your boyfriend but to be honest if these boys fall for her tricks then they are not worth the time.

I no its hard not being a loud person i no lots of people like that but you need to say to yourself that you are not goin to suffer in silence! its better to have an arguement and have everything out on the table than to just let the stress build.

Good Luck hope i helped.

Q: I am 18/m, there is a girl who i really like and want to get closer to her. I met her through high school but we are now at different unis although i still stay in contact with her online and I have her mobile number. To me she is a really nice person, she used to help me out like with studies and give me advice when im down, basically i feel like we are having some sort of connections. However i just realise that im not the only boy she is nice to, there are others -_-.

A week ago she invited me to watch a movie with her at a theatre and i asked who was going and she told me that about 2 more others are coming but on that day there were like 11 people and most of them are guys. What worst is that she didn;t really talk to me much on that day and i kinda feel left out. However she did offer me a ride to the cinema and then drove me home after but she also offer to drive another guy home too even though he doesn;t live near her, i was like wtf.

A few days later when i was online chatting to her, she told me that she gonna go study with 2 guys at a library sometime during this week and 1 of the guy was the same guy that went to the cinema with us.(im not invited to go study with them)

So is this girl just flirting with me? im confused because it looks like she is just a good friend and nothing more. I don't want to ask her anything about this yet because she might feel uncomfortable answering it and start avoiding me and i hate it when people start avoiding me. She may sound like a sl*t because everytime i see her she is with a bunch of guys but she is too nice to be one lol

Plz i need expert advice because im too new to all this crap, should i just get over her and move on? because this is not helping me with my studies
Maybe she just is a flirt and proberly gets on with guy mates better, I know that kind of sounds stupid but my mates just like that. But if you want to find out what she thinks of the other guys you speak of ask her not like in a direct way but by going "so who is X then?" "I saw you flirting with him do you fancy him?" just half tease her or go "so who you fancy at the moment then?" Just do it half as a joke so it won't create an uncomfortable moment as you can turn it into a joke or a "I was only messing with your head". Best of luck. xxxx

Q: My boyfriend and i have been going out since april 1st and yeah hes aazing well, i found out he smokes weed so i yelled at him the first time he promised he would not smoke but of course he did and told me so then he dtiched me one time to go smoke ssaying that he was going to meet up with his friends when right before he promised me a million times he wouldnt. well now i dont know what to do he keeps breaking his promises with me. yeah i do give him credit for tellin me the truth but i dont want him doing that and he knows that. what should i do next time he breaks my promise. should i let him go or what?
If you like him enough you shouldn't let him go. what you have to understand is that you can't make him stop smoking unless he wants to himself.(trust me I have tried it before with my mates) so he is making promises he properly won't be able to keep no matter how much he likes you. What you need to decide is how much of a problem him smoking weed is for you, ok it bothers you I don't blame you but you have to decide whether you can put up with his additiction. Best of luck I hope it works out for you. xxx

Q: i have these white ring/circles on the bottom of my feet. theyre small and theyre juss white, not gross & they dont hurt. it seems like they are open sort've, not bloody er anything, its juss white skin inside of it?? i cant really explain it. its kind've hard if you touch it. you could feel that its there. there's a base to it. does anyone know what that is?? im curious, because ive had em for awhile.

thanks!!
They sound like a form of veruca. If they are there is not alot you can do. you have got to choices either wait until they go naturaly or go the doctors and they might give you an acid to burn them out.

Q: im 13/f. My boyfriend beats on me. I have marks and scars on my arms and legs from him. Im a cheerleader so they always show. I really like him but i hate him when he does this to me. What should i do?

**sleepiesheep**
Get rid of him he has no excuse to treat you like this. I know you realy like him but you realy need to get rid of him because he is not good for you! You should not have to worry about him scaring you. What about if he goes to far one day and realy hurts you one day? He needs to learn how to treat women and by staying with him you are letting him get away with hurting you.

Best of luck


Q: My friend is coming to stay with me for two weeks from overseas in my september school holidays (i'm from queensland australia) problem is I'm in year 12, and my end of year exams start on the 27th of october, and he goes back on the 2nd of october. I'm really worrying now that having him stay with me will infringe on my marks as I won't get much done when he's here. I know this sounds selfish, but these exams are very important. So, what should I do? Does everyone think after he goes back I'll have enough time to concentrate on studying? Or should I try and reschedule the trip?

I'm probably worrying way too much!! lol. Thanks for your help all.
you could always start revising early so do the revision before your friend comes do little amounts often and make sure you understand it so then when he leaves you will not have to revise so much in a panic you could always catch an hour or so while he is staying with you.

Q: ok so me and my bf have been going out for like 4 months now.. but his exgirlfriend has still liked him the whole time.. she still flirts with him and he doesn't do anything to stop her, i don't even think he notices that she does it. i've tried talking to her but she just denies everything.. help!
Ok if your boyfriend isn't flirting back then I realy wouldn't worry about it, try not to make a big deal out of it. your boyfriend is obviously with you becuase he likes you better than his ex-girlfriend. Try and ignore her don't confront her about it eventualy she will get over him if he dosen't flirt back. If she is realy bothering you that much try talking to your boyfirend and see if he has noticed but becareful you may seem overpretective.

Q: I am in no way fat...i just have very muscular legs. I really would like to be able to wear skirts that look good, but everything just seems to make my legs look bigger. Anyone know of a certain cut/style of a jean skirt that can be hot and flirty but make my legs look slimer?
I'm in the same boat I find that wearing a skirt that is just past my knees looks great especially if you team it with some nice knee length boots. experiement with the cut when you go shopping. take an honest friend to help you out.

Q: OK i asked a question like this b4 but no one answered so i am answering again and I PROMISE TO RATE YOU A 5 IF YOU ACTUALLY GIVE ME A REASONABLE ANSWER-
My face turns red. A lot. I can't feel it turnign red but I know it turns red b/c my bffs all say it does. And I can definitelly trust the and all...
It turns red when a guy flirts with me, when I am up in front of class and presenting, and more times. WHAT DO I DO FROM KEEPING IT TURNIGN RED!
Ok you can try using a bit of make up called floid corrector(you can buy it from most makeup stores) it is a green liquid that you but on before your foundation. it was designed if you have an over rosy complection (i use it on spots and i blush easly too it works for me) but the green colour helps cover up the redness so if you apply this you shouldn't look half as red unless its realy embarasiing!

Q: ok..... PLEASE help me im SO stuck!!! well two of my BEST friends in the world are in a HUGE fight, they say i have to pick one of them. i dont want to pick one, but i dont ant them to fight!!! they sometimes fight OVER me!!!!!! but PLEASE help me im begging you!!!! im desprate!!!
ps. they talk about eachother and i dont want to talk about eather one!!!
Tell them both to stop it and its not fair to put you in the middle because you like them both. your also not going to pick between them. When they start going on about each other say "your both as bad as each other and i don't want to hear it because I like you both and I hate you fighting and its up setting me." See if you can get them to sort out there problems. If they care about you they will try to patch up there differences to stop you getting upset.
Hope i helped.

Q: I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 26/5 . I know my boyfriend for two months.he is labenese and i'm iranian , we were a happy couple we never had a fight . one day he told me that his family wants him to marry a girl from his own nationality. and when i asked him about his idea he said that he likes the girl but as the same time he does not want to lose me!!!!and i was upset i told him we need to talk but he kept postponing ourdate then we could not talk. I wrote to him that I love him and i can not see him with somebody else , so i will move out of his life and he can go on with his. from that day he is not giving me a direct answer, he keeps saying that he does not want to lose me but he does not talk to me about the whole issue. I even tried not to answer his calls for few days but he kept calling.he is insisting that we have to continue our relationship. I don't know who I am in his life anymore. by the way he told his causine that he loves me as a sister!!! I don't remember being his sister. he does not know what he wants.all i know is that i love him but i want this relationship only if I know that he also has some feelings for me. PLEASE HELP ME
it seems like this guy is confused on what he wants or what he should be doing. It must be hard for him to choose between his family and you. but remember you have been going out only for 2 months so i take it yr not going to rush into anything like maridge. But he is not being fair keeping you in the dark about his feelings towards you and where you stand in your relationship. Make it known you do not what to be part of the relationship if he does not talk to you. I think you should confront him and get a straight answer out of him on his own does he have msn or the internet? as it is easy to talk to him. it seems you gave him space to think about what he wants so he should have some kind of an answer or an explain for his action. if he doesn't then I suggest you end it and find someone eles. Ask for his sister I would not believe what she says because you said it youeself that his family wants him to marry someone of the same nationality so she could be trying to get rid of you.
best of luck i hope i helped. xxx

Q: i was wondering if hair removing creams, like veet resera bladeless shaving kit, work if you're shaving down below. i'm a girl by the way. thanks. i rate 5's.
It does but its not ideal if you have thick hair because it doesn't get all the hair and you get regrowth quickly. you could try one of the veet creams for your bikkini area because there more sensitive if your worried about a reaction.

Q: I know people will get their makeup professionally done for prom or whatever. But, I wanted to get mine done before I take my senior portraits, what is the cheapest it would cost? Who/where would I call the schedule an appointment?
you could shop around for different prices but if you are brave you could find out if there are any bueaty collages/ courses near you because they often are looking for guinea pigs for the students to practice on.


Q: my best guy friend and i have been friends for 10 years. recently we went kayaking together to a private beach thing. he was being really flirty and being extra nice to me, showing off and was acting all weird. he's never acted like this before. my other best friend thinks he likes me, but I'm not sure. If anyone could has an opinion on this it's definitely appreciated. Thanks
Maybe he likes you its hard to say, Do you like him back? If he does like you and you go out with him it could change your relationship. Maybe you should just keep an eye on him for now it could be just a one off. If he does like you i'm sure in time he will make his feelings known.

Hope I helped, let me know how it goes.

Q: my hair is thick and wavy. how can i make it have volume?
Have you tryed volumising mousse?

Q: 16/F (I'm a waitress..)

There's this guy from work that I like, and I'm not sure if he likes me as more than a friend, or just a friend.

I'm not sure, but I think he flirts with me. He'll steal a salt shaker from one of my tables, and won't give me it back unless I chase him around the kitchen for it. He shouts my name across the dining room, and risks getting fired for it. He talks to me a lot, and will usually even help me clear a table just to talk to me.. he does little things for me like that. If I'm carrying a tray, or something, he'll put his hand on my back and help guide me through the doors. I'm a pretty shy person, so I hate it when I talk to customers as I'm clearing a table, so usually he'll come over and talk to them for me...

But.. there's two other girls.. and they usually go up to him, and hug him. And they're pretty. And outgoing. And I don't know, I just don't think he likes me. How about you?
awww.he sounds cute. I think he deffonetley like you but like younggrandma said he hards to tell whethere he likes you more than that. Don't worry about those other girls being shy has its advantages you have that mysterious girl angle working for you! Just don't play that angle too much and talk to him more he might ask you out, if he likes you just flirt a bit with him when he talks to you.

Q: I'm really tired of just wearing jeans and a t-shirt to school. I want to start dressing nicer. But all the nice/cute clothes that I find are tank tops or spaghetti straps. And the problem with that is at my school all tops have to have a strap of 3 inches.
Does anyone know of any place that has nice/cute tops that aren't tank or spaghetti?
Thanks.
Have you tryed layering clothes for example if you find a cute top but it has a clevage wear a tank top underneath so nothing shows. experiment with layers with what you have in your wardrobe Sorry I carn't be much more help.

best of luck xxx
