kayy well i was going out with a really cool guy and this girl that used to be my best friend asked him out when we just broke up and she told him she asked me that it was ok to go out with him but she never asked me. so im really mad at her. but now the guy wants to go out with me again but he doesnt like to say no to people like the other girl but i hate her now so i feel like getting back at her so this is the best thing i can think of. is it ok??? (link)
dont go get revenge
you dont want an enemy like that
just be nice and maybe you will set a good example for her
hope i helped!!


i'm 13 f and i've never had a boyfreind in my life. never had a guy ask me out. never had a guy kiss me. nothing. it's not that i'm ugly or anything, i'm pretty i guess but def not like gorgeous and i'm not mean really and yeah. i guess i'm just not guy material? :( but i really really want a boyfriend and a first kiss. like it's driving me insane i can't help it! and a lot of my friends have had boyfreinds and idk about the kissing part. what is wrong with me? how can i make myself feel better about myself/ please help!!!!! (link)
boyfriends and kissing arent that big of a deal... im fourteen and ive never reallly kissed a guy but its fine with me and nobody really cares about that sort of thing. you dont have to have a boyfriend, just have guy friends and maybe one will like you and ask you out but you dont have to say yes just because you can say no. when you are thirteen it is hard to have a boyfriend cause you are completely dependant on other people if you want to see a movie or something cause your parents might not let you or something so wait til you're fifteen or sixteen to actually start worrying about that kind of thing!
hope i helped!


all of my friends, even people younger than me have kissed a guy/girl. i havent! i only kissed little boys that i babysit. lol PATHETIC!!! dont be like "dont worry, my first kiss was when i was 20 or 14" or something. i want to know how i can make it happen soon to a cute guy nd dont say "it will happen when your both ready" cause that doenst help me! (link)
well dont force it for one thing cause that just doesnt work....
if you are dating a guy go to the movies with him
something romantic....


ok i like this guy and my friend asked him "do you have a gf?" and then his friend kept asking him "do you like her?(me)" but i never caught his answer... then his frined just blurts out will you go out with her?(me)" but once again i never caught the answer... so now i know he knows i like him... what do i do now ?
will rate 5s for good advice ! thanx ! (link)
just be friends with him its not that big a deal if he knows cause he might like you too or something just be a friend and maybe you will realize you dont really like him or he will realize he really likes you
hope i helped


What are some good ways or products to get rid of blackheads and pimples? And the products couldn't be too expensive. (link)
differin is the best, but i think you have to have a perscription-- you should just try acne soap and wash three times a day if you cant go to a dermatologist and get some sun cause thats supposed to get rid of acne
hope i helped!


I just met this girl in pottery and she is really cool.( we are both Freshman) We were just talking and she said she used to cut herself and do drugs but not anymore.She said in the summer of 2009 (when we graduate) her and her friends from a different school are going to burn down there old school and then stand across from each other and shoot themselves because they all want to die at the same time.I dont know if I should tell anybody.She sounds really serious about it and I dont kno what I should do.I dont think I can tell a consouler because they will confront her and she will know it was me because i was the only person she told.Ill rate high (link)
chances that she will have the time to burn the school down AND have time to shoot her friends or whatever before a cop gets there are pretty slim-- but i can see why you are worried and you should just tell her how you feel, and if she still doesnt listen you SHOULD tell an adult or counselor or whatever cause it sounds like she needs to talk to somebody to sort this all out-- even if she gets mad at you for telling, its better then her dying before she has her first job or gets married or whatever she wants to do with her life-- she shouldnt just throw it away!
it sounds like she needs to get advice more than you do!!
i hope i helped!!


I'm not relaying my whole story, but why do girls have to be such whores and bitches in junior high and high school? (link)
insecurities
usually the biggest bitches are the ones who have problems at home-- but dont worry it gets MUCH better in high school!
hope i helped


what are some good ways to ton your thighs and loose weight in you stomach and ton that up and isd there any possible way to help your breats get bigger lol

thanks!! (link)
well you cant make your boobs get bigger, but to tone your thighs just run in place and jump up and down with your legs about shoulder width apart for a minute then rest thirty seconds and do it again and so on and so forth-- seventeen has some really good excersizes for that if ya wanna check there!
hope i helped!!


ok i dont really like wearing pads and tampons hurt and i cant get them in so wad do i do (link)
well the thing i learned about tampons is if they hurt you arent putting them in right.... so if some grocery store you go to has platex teens get those and they have like... directions-- i just learned on my own, but you should try smooth glides and such cause they are much easier to start out with! now i dont even consider using a pad
hope i helped!


I'm 13 female and i haven't kissed anyone yet...is this normal? Most of my friends have kissed someone but i want to wait until i find someone special. Most girls though have their first kiss when they are 12...am I abnormal? Or just plain 'ol me? (link)
haha you are anything but abnormal i think its stupid to kiss someone JUST to kiss someone if you dont even really like them like that! i havent kissed anyone and im turning fifteen soon but im happy as a clam!
hope i helped!


Alright, so like I like this girl, she knows it, she's not sure if she likes me. She showed me her webpage today, and one of the comments says that she had her first kiss. I don't know what to say about that. Like just a few weeks, a month and a half at most, ago. She said her current relationship is almost over, but... I don't know. Honestly. I kept reading the page, and it turns out she had had like 3 boyfriends in the last three or four months. But I don't think they really LOVED her. I absolutely positively love her and I know that she's the one for me. Judging by how she broke up with the others, it looks like they didn't really love her, they were just the guys who look for "is she hot" and all. Like one person said he didn't like it when she acted all weird. Yeah, she's spassy, but I don't give a damn, I love her just the same! I told her that, but hey. We're 13. I don't know if she believes it, or knows what true love is considering the others. But she may love me. I recently asked her to a carnival as *cough* friends, and she didn't say "ok" or "sure" or "yes". She said "I'd love to!" which made me feel that it was right. I don't know why. I just did.

I really don't want her to have others. I want to be the only one. She has no idea how much I love her, it's more than anyone could possibly love anyone else. But she's already had a first kiss... so I don't know... it was someone who she's known her whole life, whereas we only met a year ago, so she may choose him over me. I really don't want anyone else to have her... really....

And then I commented on one of the people who she talked about breaking up with on her web page. I said that he was annoying, but not in those words, if you catch my drift. About two minutes passed. She logged off of AIM. I thought to myself, "Jeez. At least say goodbye." But then I realized that it would have been the perfect time to ask her out, just after dissing her ex (she has exes =( judging by the other stories I've read, the exes will come back to her, I just know it!!!) and so I think she was waiting for me to ask her out, but then thought that I was to shallow for that or something since it took so long. Jeez, I wrote the girl a song, even though I suck at songwriting, I can't be shallow! So now I'm worrying about are our chances over, could she be with the person she kissed, what if her exes come back, maybe she doesn't like me in the first place, what if she's making a hard decision and is going to choose the person who's not me, what if one day we kiss and it's not her first but it is hers, and so now I'm spassing and worrying and I just really want to have her! Sorry it's so insanely long... I'm just going through a hard time. (link)
just because shes already had her first kiss doesnt mean she wont like you-- plenty of my friends HATE the guys theyve kissed-- it means nothing until she says it meant everything. it sounds like she likes you so just ask her and im sure shell say yes
but it also sounds like she doesnt go out with people long so dont expect her to be your true love-- cause nobody's true love is EVER their first love
well i hope i helped!


so i really like this guy
like i cant stop thinking about him and stuff
but i know he doesnt like me
well i mean sure sometimes he flirts with me but he likes this other girl.
the thing is this guy is "not ment to be liked" if you know what i mean but i really really like him

16/f (link)
well im not sure what you're asking but flirt alot and just be really good friends and if he considers you one of his best friends at some point he probably likes you
hope i helped!


Okay, I'm sorry, but this is going to be REALLY long.
I was at summer camp last week, and i went with a bunch of my friends. We were having oodles of fun, and there was this guy there that i have liked for EVER! He lives near me and i see him alot, but he has never acted interested in me before. Now, at camp on...Tuesday, during the night game he sat next to me (on a loveseat) and started to poke my knee. So i poked him back. then he took his elbow and dug it into my hip so i jabbed him really hard in his side....it was kinda funny. Then he took his hand and kept putting it on my knee. I wasn't comfortable with that so i kept pushing it off but he wouldn't stop. Then on Wednesday he asked me to play tetherball with him, i so won. then we played pingpong, and i definitly lost. Then on Thursday it got REALLY weird. First I was in crafts and he was in pingpong. Those two games are in the same room. He lost in pingpong so he was sitting down. He called me over and told me too sit on his lap. I did not!!! Then I sat next to him in the chair next to him. He asked for my hand and i said "why" he said he wanted to see somthing. So i held out my hand. Then he just started holding onto my hand and stuff. I was really uncomfortable with this. After that my team and his team were assigned to go to the pool togeather. So while we were at the pool i did NOT want to go swimming. He kept splashing me and trying to push me in, and i was in my cloths! Then i got sick of it so i just jumped into the pool, cloths and all, and dunked him. Okay. He kept holding my hand all day and stuff and on friday, I was really uncomfortable with it. Then on friday everyone in camp catchs him making out with this girl!!!! Now i dont know what to think!!! I dont want to yell at him or anything, cause he is going through alot of problems and he has always been able to talk to me about them and no-one else. So i dont want him to think he cant. what should i do!!!!???? (link)
go up to him (not infront of a bunch of people) and be like "youve been acting strange and i was wondering if something was wronge. if you dont wanna talk about it thats okay but if you do, im always here." if he wants to talk he will and if he doesnt dont make him cause that wont make it any better-- he probably feels insecure and needs somebody to talk to and you seem like you care about him so you would probably be the perfect person for him to talk to!
hope i helped!


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? (link)
it sounds to me like he does like you and if you like him then just be upfront about it or whatever-- i cant say much cause im really shy myself, but no guy would risk getting fired unless he a)hated his job or b) really liked you
if he doesnt have a girlfriend, ask him how he knows those girls, just friendly conversation and maybe hell say school or something but if hes not going out with either of them and they are really flirty and pretty then he doesnt like them and he probably likes you!
hope i helped!


How much does lemon juice actually lighten your hair. and how much are you supposed to put in? and what are some other ways to lightn your hair without dying it?

thanks. (link)
it doesnt lighten it alot but you should use a soft-bristled brush and sqeeze the lemon onto that to make it even and not get it wet for twenty four hour and sorry but i dont know any other ways besides staying out in the sun!
hope i helped!!


ok i broke up with my bf (well he did with me but w/e) a month or so ago, and im over him so thats no prob.
but one of his friends asked me out. i dont know if i like him like that. my ex doesnt seem to happy about it.
the thing is i cant, literally cant say no to a guy who has asked me out and is being so sincere about it.
help me
cute and confused of texas (link)
okay so if this guy is your ex's friend but your ex broke up with YOU then it is more than okay to go out with this guy cause its your exes problem not yours, BUT if you dont like him you shouldnt go out with him cause that would lead him to believe you like him more than you really do. just be blunt about it "im really sorry ______, cause youre really nice, but i would feel better if we were just friends." if ya think you need to, you could mention that it has nothing to do with your ex, that you just would "hate to ruin your friendship over this" or something like that
just be honest and dont go out with a guy you dont like or people will think your desperate
hope i helped!!


I didn't know where to put this, so i just clicked a random category...

My friend came over here last night and she called some people that we met off the internet. It was after 9 so it was free, but I was wondering...it was with Cingular just FYI...but since it was free, would it still show up on my detailed billing? My parents are the kind that don't like me talking to people that I meet off of the internet, so if they found out that they had my PHONE NUMBER they would freak...I mean I wasn't the one talking, but yeah...anyways...does it show up on the bill even though it was free? (link)
i dont know if it shows who you talked to, but you could always be like "ya well my friend lost her cell so she used her cousin's" or something
hope i helped!


okay so yea.. i have a huge problem with crackin my knuckles nd there like big now :( dose any one know how i can make them smaller nd or stop my habbit? please nd thanks i rate 5s
(link)
okay so ya know how some people put ribbons or pretty strings on their fingers to remember things? well i put on ribbon on the forefinger of each of my hands to remember not to crack my knuckles-- now i only do it during tests when my hands get cramped from writing... just knowing you could have huge ugly knuckles if you do it too much for too long!!!
hope it helps!

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a short amount of two weeks, and only two weeks. Last time I saw him he tried to touch my chest as we were kissing and I pulled his hand away and I got extemely uncomfortable around him that night. He knew I was too. Here I am a week later and he tried to do the same thing again tonight. I let him for a second then just stopped kissing him and got very quiet after that and just continued to watch the movie. We kind of have this joke about how I don't like my stomach so he was laughing about it and he kind of pulled my shirt up just so you could see my stomach just a little bit. So I pulled my shirt back down, but he put his hand under it. I laughed cause he was tickleing me too, but then he moved his hand up. I pulled his hand out right away and luckily my mom came to pick me up after that happened.
I live off the moto- "forgive and forget" I'm forgiving him, but it makes me feel really degrated and small that he'd try that two weeks into this realationship. He's really sorry and he knows it made me uncomfortable, but I don't know how to act now. I want to show him it's alright, but I don't want him trying again... what do I do? Should I feel uncomfortable? (link)
if it makes you feel uncomfortable then it is NOT okay-- its not even a month into the relationship and he expects that much from you then i would be a little worried-- the next time he does it just be like "ya im not okay with that so it needs to STOP" dont yell or anything but he should get the picture-- and if he doesnt or he dumps you then he was just using you and you deserve WAY better!
