Okay....me and my x have been broken up and not talking for about 7 months now....i called him on his b-day and pranked him a few times recently...should i call him and start chatting with him and then be like remember me....I'm your ex and try to get a friendship back up or should i just leave him alone?? (link)
Leave the boy alone! Chances are he's going to remember you and if you pranked him a few times...he's gonna be looking for some revenge. I had an ex-girlfriend that did crap like that to me once. And she wonders why I broke up with her....


I like this one guy in my class. I talk to him alot and we get along well. The thing is, first, he is a grade older then me (sophmore) and second, we are two way different people. He's really smart and kind of nerdy, I guess you could say. Also, hes more into a real relationship and doesn't seem like a shallow,"want to get some" guy. I, on the other hand have never had a real relationship because I always end up finding a shallow guy and I give it all away. I really want a true relationship and I have never liked a guy like him before, I guess my question is, how do I get a guy like him, what's he looking for in a girl, and does every guy just look for sex? (link)
Alright. I agree with some of these other people (aka advicenators aka peepz.) Some guys aren't just in it for the sex. But that's only cause their sexual performance is something to be desirec and they know it! He would LOVE to get some. He justdoesn't know how.

You should totally go for the whoel real relationship thing though. I have no idea what guys like him look for though cause each guy has their own individual preference. However if you could fly, I promise that's a huge bonus.

Good luck, and contact the government before attempting flight. We don't need you getting shot down as a U.F.0


Ok well I like a guy who doesnt like me dont know how to get his attention, im 14 and i dunno I want him to like me... i try to look the other way(try to like other guys) But for somereason i still like him(liked him since like 7th grade and now im a freshmen... we talk on the phone sometimes (as friends) I know who he likes...(makes me kinda sad... so i cant ask him out!)Friends with the girl he likes... which is also hard... hard looking at her knowing she has everything i want... she used to like him not anymore...wish I could be everything she is... even tho I dont know why...I try to keep my self from crying... but sometimes it doesnt work...(its hard knowing we can only be friends) dont talk that much at school (i guess hes shy! and i am too) he knows I like him which also sucks(ooh so do his friends... i think he told them all)... it makes it harder to talk to him sometimes... when i do talk to him i try not to think about him knowing i like him...I think hes the cutest person ever... i dunno i just need advice I dont want to cry over him... but i dont just want me friends with him... and I dont wanna get over him... yea confusing... well help if u can...

Here's whats up. ACt like you don't care. If he's anything like a typical guy he's like "Well she already likes me" and blah blahb lah who cares. So you gotta act cool! Act like "dude, I so don't need you." and he'll be like "wah" and you'll be like "i'm sorry is there someone else here? oh hi dude who I used to like but totally don't need anymore because of my super awesome independece" or some crap like that. Then he'll be like "crap I could have dated her but my totally crappy neglect to appreciate the things i have around me has blinded me to the only absolute truths in the universe. I will now find an acoustic guitar and write an emo song while crying into an oversized sweater." Once he starts trying to win you back....it's your move from there. Good luck! And don't count your ducks before they become chickens.


hey..Im kind of in the triangle here..I have a boyfriend named russ but two other guys like me..I really like all 3 of them but im not sure what to do..I feel like im losing my best friend becuz of my new boyfriend, but im falling for him..The other guys name is Billy..and i was with him for 3 months and i fell for him too..and the new guy name is Justin.Help me what should I do? (link)
This sounds more like a square than a triangle...have you considered not being with anyone until you sort all this out? You don't HAVE to date any of them.


When I was 13 I found out that I have a sister that had been put up for adoption. I had grown up thinking that I had two sisters and it was devistating to think that I had another one that I may never know and be able to love. So, I swore that one day I would find her. Back in March I did find her. I had searched for so long that I really felt that I would never find her and when I did I was afraid that since I grea up in a dysfunctional family and we weren't wealthy or anything that we wouldn't be good enough for her. Well, she is wonderful. We went through the DNA testing and when we found out it was just amazing. She came out for a visit in April and since then I have gone to see her twice. We live in seperate states. The two sisters and I that grew up together have the same father but she (2nd to the oldest) has a different father. My father is dead now (long story) but our mother is still living. Mom has a long history of drug abuse and she does not want my Sister to know about it.

This is my question. I think that she is noticing that Mom isn't as close to her as she is our oldest and youngest sisters. They e-mail and Mom calls about once a month or so but she and I talk weekly and on the internet every night. The other two sisters rarely e-mail her and they don't call her. I know that she doesn't feel as connected to the family as she would like to and I feel responsible because I was the one that went looking for her. There are times that she tells me that it really hurts her feelings and I am not sure what to say.

I love her so much, she is just fantastic and had a terrible life growing up. Her adopted Dad wound up in prison and her adopted Mom comitted suicide when she was a teenager. I know that she has abandonment issues because of all of that and now I am scared that meeting her bio family is just adding to those issues because of their distance. I wouldn't take for knowing and having the chance to be in my sister's life and her in mine but sometimes I feel so guilty for causing her even more grief.

Did I do the right thing by finding her or was I just being selfish because I missed her so much being in my life? I am just afraid that my love for her just isn't enough to make up for all of the time that she has done without and now that she has found her bio family that maybe the dream of what they were was better than what we are.

Confusing and long I know but anyone with input would be appreciated. (link)
I was adopted too. You did the right thing by looking for her. I don't eve know where to begin to look because nobody can give me a straight answer as to my birth mothers whereabouts, and she never named the father at my birth. I would talk to the rest of your family and tell them to try and include her more. I'm sure she's very thankful for you looking for her. Knowing anything is better than knowing nothing.


i like making comics. what are some good tips for writing and drawing them? thanx! =) (link)
The hardest part I had when I ran a comic site was getting the characters to the point of conflict. Basically what I would do would just be to write out all the scenes I could thing of even if they didn't connect right away and then go through and fill in the holes. I don't know if this was really a good technique or not but I always felt like it worked. As for drawing, I've always been a fan of simplicity. If you're going for strips, keep it down to basic lines, and solid colors. If you're doing something to the effect of Graphic Novel or multi-chaptered story, you might wanna pay more attention to detail. I think that covers everything...


Do you believe in Long Distance Relationships? Like, if you talk to them online and you talk to them on the phone and stuff, and your still in your preteen-early teen years. Do you think its bad? (link)
They're really hard. I tried a long distance relationship a while back. That ended up in a mess. I'm in one now (several years later) and it's going okay...but she's also currently trying to move closer being that she's at an age to do that. I've heard of it working both ways, but I wouldn't expect too much out of it.


i am having an italian night and i'm having my friends ova!! what should i do for italian night?? how should i decorate and what kind of games can we play there is gonna be 4 girls and one guy!! suggestions?? (link)
I'd be eating pasta in all sorts of diffrent sauces and drinking lots of wine if i was having an italian night. Now that I think about it, every other night is like italian night. I'd just make a big deal out of dinner.


when i was on the bus the other day i was talkin to my friend chris (he's a boy) lol and my friend was like stop flirtin...what would be a good come back b/c she's always puting me down and i don't wanna do that sweet thing and ask her why she does it and stuff like that ... please help :) (link)
If she tells you to stop flirting again tell her "Stop being anti-social and having no friends." Make sure you do it with a smile. If she says something like "You're ugly" say things like "Only cause I hang out with you". Bsaically just blame her for whatever she accuses you of. Or you don't have to say anything, and you can just punch her head through the bus window. You may need a friend to help you with that though. Those windows are thick.


hey

i really want to become a vegetarian, but i dont know the right way to do it. i dont wanna be a vegan because i love milk and cheese wayy too much. but is just not eating meats the right way to do it so i'll still be healthy? i'll still eat eggs and stuff, but if i just dont eat meats will i be okay? any vegetarians here would be greatly apprecied!

-i rate- (link)
Take it from a cook, there's no way to avoid meat and be completely healthy. If you're becoming a vegetarian for health reasons I suggest rethinking this and just watching your red meat/meat intake. If you're becoming a vegetarian because the idea of a cow getting diced up and served on dinner plate doesn't appeal to you, then just avoid food that's prepared in that way. I never really understood the whole vegetarian thing cause I mean, if the cow killed me, I'd expect it to eat me.


Ok I know this may sound wierd and all but the other day I was searching around in my parents room and i found strange things like handcuffs, whips, and wierd looking masks. I remember watching something on television about this sort of thing but im not sure if its really happening with my parents. Can somebody tell me what i should look out for. (link)
I wouldn't suggest "looking" for anything. Believe me, you don't want to find it.


OK on Friday I'm going to my boyfriends away game. His mom is driving me there with her and I know im going to be so nervous. I dont want to say anything thats going to make me look stupid, but I know im going to end up doing that.. I always do. I was just wondering if you guys had any adivce on what I should do to be less nervous or not say anything dumb that I'll regret. Thanks SO much!! (link)
Talk about that movie the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Women just bond over that stupid movie and I don't understand it at all. If a girlfriend of mine ever tells my mom she likes the movie they instantly become best friends. That Freakin' movie...

(link)
Sometimes guys do that sort of stuff to just to reassure himself that you really like them. I've never been much for that personally. The best thing you can do here is just keep telling him what you're thinking and keeping those lines of communication open. Or getting rid of him. Either one should work out just fine.


My ex-boyfriend cheated on me, twice. When we broke up, I had no idea he had done this and when we got into a huge fight he told me. I feel so hurt, worthless and betrayed. He was the only boy I ever truly loved and he had told me he felt the same. We've been talking now, and he says he still loves me and wants me back. His sorry's aren't taking away the heartache but I still love him more than anything. I don't know if I can trust him yet and he's cheated on other girfriends. Do you think he could really mean it this time? I can never seem to move on from him and he regrets cheating completely. What am I supposed to do or say? (link)
Take it from a guy who's cheated on his girlfriend. He'll probably do it again. Sorry kiddo.


when i was with my boyfriend he said that the song "sunshine" was our song because i was always listenin to it so he started to like it and hes like "baby thats our song okay.." well we broke up Aug.30.04 but we still say "i love you" and things like that but when i hear that song it makes me want him to be mine again and for him to hold me like he used to..what can i do about this?! (link)
Either stop listening to the song or try to get back with him. That's all I can think of.


wut can i use on my face to give it a natural glow
thnx (link)
Some sort of mineral containing large amounts of radiation? That may or may not do it and I'm sure it's pretty expensive.


see i like this boy but hekinda likes this other girl so what do i do??? (link)
Fight the other girl in a duel. The use of weapons is discouraged. Tooth and nail proffered.


I'm thinking about eventually getting colored contacts. I already wear contacts because of my poor vision. There are 2 parts to my question. The first part is, do they make prescription colored contacts? The second part is what would be the best color to use? I have dark brown eyes if that helps. Thanks a bunch! (link)
I had a friend with brown eyes that got purple contacts. I thought it looked cool. *shrug*


i just burned myself on the oven rack in my oven. its blistering now, will i have a scar? it was 450 degrees to let you know...any advice? (link)
Ooh believe me buddy. You're gonna have a scar. It probably won't be that noticeable depending on your skin type. I've got burns up and down my arms from various ovens ranging from 250 degrees to 500. A doctor isn't really needed just get some burn cream and wrap that puppy up. And Remember that chicks dig scars.


Hi please help me! I have some nice friends but I'm not popular.In my neighberhood these group of girls are all friends and they don't include me but they are nice.I really want to get in their group but it doesn't work when I try.My other friends don't really like them and dont hang out with them.What should I do? I want to keep my old friends but make some new ones. I think maybe its time to move on and meet more people. sometimes im shy but when you know me i dont shutup!Please help me I'll rate good for anything! (link)
Try organizing something yourself. See if you can get a few of them to go to a movie or whatever it is you kids do these days. Keep trying even if they say no right away. If they turn out to be total jerks and blow you off and stuff, screw them. Find a new crew to run with.
