Hello, I'm 18/F and my boyfriend is 21. We've been dating for almost two years now and we are deeply in love with each other. He wants to get me a promise ring but I think it's a bit childish and I want an engagement ring instead. What should I do?
You should be grateful that you are getting a ring from your boyfriend. Honestly, I think it is a bit childish of you to say you want an engagement ring instead.
I think it\'s appropriate for any couple who wish they could be engaged, and cannot, for whatever reason, be it age, financial issues, or anything else. It\'s a symbol that says \"someday, this will be replaced with the real thing,\" and is a reminder of the couple\'s love.

I'd like some good ideas for how to reveal the genders of fraternal triplets at a gender reveal party.
I've heard of the idea to have your doctor write down the gender and seal it in an envelope. Then you take the envelope to a bakery, give it to an employee, have them bake you a cake, and fill it with either blue frosting for a boy or pink for a girl. Then at the party, you and your spouse cut into the cake and discover the gender when you see the color of the frosting on the blade of the knife. I like the idea, but I don't think we'll be needing three cakes.
What are two other ideas? I thought about maybe using punch or lemonade, blueberry flavored for a boy and strawberry for a girl. I am friends with employees and two different restaurants that could help me out with that. The could put it in some kind of container that's not transparent at all and the gender could be revealed when we pour the punch or lemonade, but is that lame?
I might use the punch/lemonade idea and get two cakes, or perhaps some cupcakes, half revealing the gender of baby #1 and half revealing the gender of baby #2. WDYT? My sister's not much for cake, so is there another dessert I can use in addition to a cake? Maybe have someone go get blueberry or strawberry ice cream?
I really want to use refreshments to reveal the kids' genders. I'm not crazy about the balloon idea or the outfit idea. WDYT?
I have always thought these parties were awesome!
Pinata Reveal: get a Pinata and have someone fill it with blue or pink confetti! Then everyone takes a hit at the pinata, when it breaks the confetti comes pouring out!
M&M Cake: http://img.allw.mn/content/parenting/2013/06/1_m-m-cake.jpg
Cream-Filled Cupcakes: http://img.allw.mn/content/parenting/2013/06/2_cream-filled-cupcakes.jpg
Silly String:
Buy blue and Pink silly string and then cover the containers with paper and then VIOLA! when sprayed it\'s either blue or pink!

I've tried creams and pills for several years and it doesn't help. I've tried all kinds of face washes, pills, lotions and gels. My acne is very bad and embarrassing. What are some other procedures and how much would it cost?
My acne is like this:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/eIj3oI3EdaU/UBh6vqr4ECI/AAAAAAAAAeI/Oooy36j6bPc/s1600/cystic+acne.jpg
The best I can tell you is to go to a dermatologist and ask them what procedure they would use. It all depends on how severe your cystic acne is. The link you posted is not working so I can not take a look at it & see for myself.
Doctors can prescribe very strong drugs that will help you treat your cystic acne. Because they are so powerful, they are not dispensed over the counter and can\'t be bought in your local drug store. Setting an appointment with a doctor will allow him or her to look at your acne, devise a treatment tailored to your case, and start guiding you to a acne-free existence sooner rather than later.
I know you wanted a \"procedure\" and I didn\'t really give you any. This is because there are many that a doctor can do. Such as, antibiotics, hormonal treatments *for females only*, topical retinoids, systemic (oral) retinoids, laser therapy, and probably more. It all depends on how severe your acne is & what you and your doctor would feel be best.
I would talk to a dermatologist about all of these because there will be side-effects to any or all of these procedures.
Some lifestyles that could improve your acne:
- Pay attention to your diet
- Try eating a low-glycemic diet
- Cut back on diary
- Cut down on stimulants such as alcohol and smoking (if you do either of these)
- Reduce the amount of stress that you are under
- Try to exercise more
- Get enough sleep
- Drink water

my heart has been doing weird stuff so i was looking what can be wrong with the heart and it said "coronary artery disease" but i don't know what that means. can some one please explain so a 16 year old can understand?
We are not doctors and if something is going on with your heart, that is pretty serious and you should be consulting with a doctor rather than us advice-givers.
Basically what Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is, is when the arteries to your heart become hardened and narrow. This is usually due to buildup of cholesterol and other material (plaque) on the inner walls of the arteries. As it grows, less blood can flow through the arteries. As a result, the heart muscles cannot get the blood or oxygen that it needs.
Like I said before we are not doctors so we cannot tell you what is wrong with your heart and looking up your symptoms on the internet is NEVER a good thing because you freak yourself out.
The best I can tell you is to please go see a doctor. If it\'s something with your heart that can be serious and you should get a professional opinion/diagnosis rather than one of ours.

Does my boyfriend actually care about me and love me?
You didn't give us any information as to why you are questioning if your boyfriend loves you or not. Also, we cannot tell you if your boyfriend loves you .. nobody can tell you if your boyfriend loves/cares for you except for you and your boyfriend.

21/f I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 years now with no problems, except my boyfriend's crazy cousin. At the beginning of our relationship we got close, then she became a little crazy and always seems to have a problem. Long story short I drifted away from her a bit after a few freak outs she had on me for no reason; now it's extremely uncomfortable to be around her since we don't talk as much. Recently she invited my boyfriend out to a party in front of me and didn't mention inviting me at all, something she would have talked to me about had we been closer like before. It really upsets me, and my boyfriend agrees she's very rude. Should I talk to him about confronting her behavior? Or have him say something to her? She's just blatantly rude to me. Thanks!
Honesty what I would do is ask her yourself. You're 21 years old so you are old enough to confront someone yourself without having to ask someone to do it for you. I would message her via facebook, text her, call her, or the next time you see her pull her aside and ask if you guys can talk. From there, you can either ask her if something is wrong or if you might have done something to upset her. The whole thing seems a little odd. If she always seems to have a problem maybe something is going on in her life and "freaking out" is the only way she can deal with it. She might just need someone to ask her if she is okay or if there is anything that she would like to talk or vent about.
Asking her yourself shows that you care about her, your relationship with her, and whats going on. It shows that you want to get that relationship back to how it was or at least to the point where you don't have to be uncomfortable around her.
She may also feel bad about freaking out on you but she knows that you are upset about it and it makes you uncomfortable so she doesn't know if she should apologize or talk to you about it.
Like I said, being the bigger person and asking her whats wrong or if you did anything proves that you still want her to be in your life. Have a mature, adult conversation. Don't yell or argue or play the blame game and I'm almost certain you two can get back to the friendship you had if not an even better one.
If that doesn't seem to be working then you can ask your boyfriend to calmly talk to her and see if he can figure out why this is happening. Again, he needs to be mature about it and not yell at her because it could make matters worse and you don't want that.
Remember, you should ask her first because it shows that you still care and want a friendship. :)
Hope this helps you & everything works out.
If you need anymore help, drop it in my inbox & I'll be glad to help.

HI! I love physics games but I feel like I have played them all. Do you have any favorites that I should try? Is there a list of all of them?

hopefully this helps you out. I'm sorry if it is not what you were looking for!

I'm a senior in high school and have not been asked to prom, nor do I expect to be. I don't really want to go anyway-I see no point in spending a lot of money(dress, ticket, hair) for 3 unenjoyable hours. Especially since I just wrecked my car and I can't imagine asking my parents for money after that. I also don't want to ask anyone. However, my best friend, who is like a sister to me, really wants me to go. I don't want to let her down, but I really don't want to go. I don't know what to do.
I did not want to go to my senior prom at all. There was no part of me that wanted to go. My boyfriend and I broke up a month before, nobody was going to ask me, I didn't want to ask anyone. Why would I go? Why would I spend all that money, get the dress, do the hair, the make-up, the pictures. All for what? To dance in a crowded room for 3 hours? No. Way.
My best friend wanted me to go. She said it was our senior year & to go and have fun. I told her I didn't want to go. She told me to please go and to think about it.
I thought about it. I looked at dresses. I looked up hairstyles. I still didn't want to go.
In the end, I decided to go & I had the best time. I was with my best friend & we had a blast.
Sitting here in my room 6 years later, I still thank her.
If you can't ask your parents for the money, I completely understand. It's a lot of money to dish out for 3 hours. As for the hair, do it yoursef! Curl it, keep it straight, do a sock bun! (http://www.skinnyfatgirldiary.com/the-sock-bun/) google "simple hairstyles for prom" and have your best friend try it out!
As for a dress, try JC pennys, SEARS, KOHLS, Target.
You don't need a designer dress that costs 100+ dollars.
Basically, what I'm saying is. You should go. As much as you don't really want to, you know you want to. I was in your shoes. I didn't want to go, but I went and I had the best time. As for not being asked to go to prom? WHO CARES! your best friend asked you & sometimes a best friend is all you need.

I love my boyfriend more than anymore. I still live with my parents and he lives with his mother and neither of us can drive. Lately, due to money problems, I'm not able to see him much anymore, cause we can barely afford the bills and groceries. Since I can't afford to even go see him anymore, am I being selfish by staying in the relationship? I'm 21 and female.
No I do not believe you are being selfish. If you love your boyfriend as much as you say you do & he loves you then you guys will be able to work through this. Not being able to see each other sucks. It's hard. It's lonely. It's upsetting. It sucks. But you can call each other, text each other, skype each other, facetime each other & you'll be able to get through it. As long as you are able to communicate with each other and you don't get angry/upset for not being able to see each other as much as you like, you will be able to do this.
Maybe you can't go see him, but can he come see you? If he can then great! If he can't then do what I said before.
Like I said, not seeing each other sucks but you will be able to get through it.
My boyfriend and I live about an hour and 30 minutes away from each other. (Which isn't that bad at all) and we can't see each other as much as we would like but we work it out by calling/texting each other and working it out. It's hard but it's totally doable. I wouldn't call either of us selfish for staying in the relationship even though we can't see each other as much as we would like.

What are some popular books I should read? I like to read, but I am bad at picking good books. LOL! Can you tell me titles you loved, or what you have been dying to read next? Thank you.
19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult
The Pact by Jodi Picoult
House Rules by Jodi Picoult
The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
I literally couldn't put any of these books down, especially 19 Minutes and The Pact. Those are my top two favorite books by her. But anything written by Jodi Picoult in my opinion will be a good read.
The Accident by Danielle Steel
Johnny Angel by Danielle Steel
The Long Road Home by Danielle Steel
Malice By Danielle Steel
Fine Things by Danielle Steel
These books are hard to put down too, especially The Accident and Johnny Angel. I think I read Johnny Angel in a day. My whole family read that book one after another and we all agreed it was great. Even my dad. Like Jodi Picoult, any of Danielle Steel's book will be a great choice.
Also I LOVE the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. I have loved it since I read the first book in 5th grade. (Which was 9 years ago! haha) But to this day I still love that series.
The Hunger Games Triology by Suzanne Collins. I've only read the first one so far, but I heard from many of my friends that the last two books are just as good.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I had to read it for high school and I thought it was going to be one of those boring, stupid books that teachers make you read. I figured I would just skim through it barely reading it. Boy was I wrong. I loved this book so much, it was fantastic.
Hopefully this list gives you some ideas! :) Happy reading

I know, I know... not very mature of me. :) But I dearly love this old pair of footy PJs my ex gave me years ago. They are threadbare, and I would like to buy a new pair but I haven't seen any in local stores. I hate to buy on-line, but if you can tell me a site that has them and that you trust with your CC info then I will. Thanks!
Target has them. I actually got a pair myself last year. haha! SO comfy in the cold winter months. If you don't have a target near you, you can definitely trust target online. :)

Soon I will be going to a job in kenya and I want to try to learn the customs. What language do they speak in kenya, and what customs should I learn to avoid upsetting anyone while I am there? Thanks!

Here is a website that gives you information on the language, culture, customs, and etiquette.

I want to fuck a girl I really want to fuck her because she is very pretty girl
First of all, saying you want to "f*ck a girl" is inappropriate. Second of all, saying you want to "f*ck her because she is a very pretty girl" is a stupid reason. If you would walk up to her and say "I want to f*ck you because you are really pretty" she will probably walk away. You sound desperate and it's disgusting.

What do YOU like off the JJ menu? They just put one in down the road and I want to try it, but I know if I get something really bad the first time I will never go back. So what do you like, or think is excellent, and maybe I will try your favorite first? :)
I love Jimmy Johns! I like getting either:
Gourmet Smoked Ham Club
Billy Club
Italian Night Club
so delicious I can't pick my favorite out of those three. If you decide to pick one of these I hope you like them just as much as I do!

I know there are different websites for getting your local weather forecast and stuff, but so many times the numbers don't agree! Which weather site do you use and trust on a regular basis? This winter a wrong forecast almost killed me and if I had looked at a better site, I would have been in less danger. Any advice?
I use accuweather.com or weatherbug.com both websites are usually pretty correct when I check them. I have yet to have trouble with them so I hope the same for you if you decide to try them :)

Does anyone know when the iPhone 6 is coming out? I need a new phone because I dropped my 5s and I don't want to buy a new 5s if the 6 is coming out soon! :)
According to websites the iPhone 6 release date is sometime in 2014 although exactly when that will be in the year is unclear. You never know with setbacks in could even end up being 2015.
I would just get the 5s and not wait for the 6 because it could be months until it comes out considering we are only in the 3rd month of the new year.

i dont like the boy and how can i say no?
It takes courage to ask someone out because of the fear of being turned down so you have to be nice about it. Just say something along the lines of "I'm sorry but I don't have feelings like that for you, I like you as a friend and I hope we can continue being friends"
This way yes, he will be disappointed that you don't like him in that way, but at least you didn't hurt his feelings by being rude about it.
Hope this helps you!

Am I the only one who gets tired of writing the same old thing in birthday cards? Do you know of any really good birthday related quotes of famous people or really wise sayings I can write in there instead?
I always like to write things from the heart or if I feel like I'm writing the same ideas I go to the store and look at the cards and gather some ideas.
I found this website and it has a bunch of different birthday topics to choose from.
This website has different birthday categories such as: belated, funny, general, inspirational, love, poems, quotes and sayings, religious, and wishes. Also there are people specific: boss, brother, colleagues, dad, daughter, friend, husband, mom, sister, son, and wife. As well as age specific: kids, 1st, 13th, 16th, 18th, 21st, 25th, 30th, 40th,, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, 100th. To wrap it up there is a section of miscellaneous as well.

I hope this helps you!
