Q: ok theres a girl at my school, we spend nearlly all of our time together, last night she told me that she fancied me a little bit and to be honest i tihnk i fancy her a little too but i have for about 3 days, she has a boy freind so i'm not getting invold anytime soon. but you her telling me you fancyd me would you like to know i fancy you back? becuase i havent told her yet, theres been a couple of scenarios running round my head

1.) she'll want to "get to know me" a ittle better by like flirting and just gettin close

(which i dont really want because she has a bf and i have had this trouble before and it ended out with a mass argument)

2.) she'll accept it and i can stop feeling uncomfortable around her

plz help muchy plz :D thanks in adv'*
Girls like to know that the guy they fancy, fancies them back. The boyfriend is a problem, and if she fancies you, I dont see why she's going out with him. Theres nothing wrong with letting her know that you fancy her. And for your scenarios:

1. There's nothing wrong with her wanting to get to know you better, and if she chooses to flirt with you and get close - I'm still wondering why she's with her bf if she wants to be flirting with you. So, it's more her problem in that aspect than yours.

2. She will most likely accept it (I mean, seriously, what girl doesn't like to find out that the guy she likes, actually likes her back?) but then she'll probably start flirting with you more and will try to get closer, but that's not your fault. So, try to get her bf to see that she likes you and that she's basically cheating on him in the sense that she likes you and is flirting with you.
Hope this helps some. Good luck with everythnig!

Q: im having some boy troubles here :] ok so i am 15/f and im in tenth grade, just to let you know. yeah so i have asked a bunch of my friends about this, and they're all giving me their opinions, but id like some more pleassse. ok so its kind of long, and i will love you if you read it and help meeee:

i dont know how to start this off but here it goes. as i told you, im in tenth grade, and theres this really cute boy in ninth grade. we have two classes together but its totally awkward. i really like him and im pretty sure he likes me, this is what i need your opinion on. he's given me some signs, but im not too good with this whole boyfriend girlfriend thing, but this kid is so cute. ok well we have lunch together, which is lunch and study hall, and we have band class together. he also sits one sit away from me in study hall, but i cant really talk to him there. so after lunch one day, i was standing with my friend in the hallway waiting for another friend, and he was walking down the hallway with two of his friends, and they shoved him into me. i know its corny, but hey it might mean something. and everytime i pass his table at lunch, all of his friends just stare at me. ive talked to him a little, but im so scared to because i dont want to get hurt or something. but heres the catch, his best friend thinks i like him. i actually dont, i mean hes cute, and we flirt, but its just not there really. and now i think the kid i like thinks i like his best friend? make sense? i hope so. and so yeah, do you guys think there might be a chance he likes me? and do you know anything i could really talk about with him, like to start a conversation?

it would honestly help me so much because my school dance is coming up and if he doesnt ask me im seriously gonna ask him, its so not like me, but i want to really bad. any ideas to help me with that too? haha thanks so much if you read this and actually replied.
1. It sounds like he likes you, because he was pushed into you by his friends and the staring at lunch, so he either talked about you (in a good way) to his friends and they know he likes you, or they know you like him. Both can work in your favor.

2. Try to straighten out the situation where his best friend is concerned. If you like the first guy, stop flirting with his best friend because it makes you look like you like the best friend and you'll start looking like a flirt.

3. Start up a conversation about things you both have in common - lunch, and band. Since you both are in band, strike up a conversation about music and instruments, ask him how long he's been playing and how he got interested in the instrument. Then go from there.

4. About the dance, it depends on how much time you have before the dance. If it's really soon, you'll have to work fast with talking to him more and stuff to tell if he really likes you. Then, if he doesnt ask you, it's okay to ask him - the worst he can do is say no, and hes more likely to say no if doesnt really know you, so really work on talking to him and getting to know him some before you ask him.
Hope this helps. =) Good Luck!

Q: So i was in cheerleading about 5 or 6 years ago. But it wasnt anything serious. And all my friends are getting into Dance and stuff. Butt im not into that, becuase i wanna be a cheerleader. :) but for one, i dont think any of my friends would take me seriously with it. and two, i would feel so retarded getting onto a team because im in eighth grade. and we dont have a cheer team. and id feel so outta place if i got on some team with "experienced" girls. and i cant really cheer. i pick up on things fast.. but i dont know..


HELP????
It shouldn't matter what your friends think about it. Since you want to do cheerleading they should respect your decision. Try to see if you can practice with a cheerleader first - try to make friends with one who is on the team you would like to join. Then you'll have more practice and you won't look "retarded". Once you pick up on it, then look into joining the team. good luck. Hope this helps. =)

Q: sorry if its long.
PLEASE HELP...ok so me and this guy *josh had sex 2 times and weve done other stuff. we recently started hanging out even though we've known eachother for about 2 years. he is a year older then me and acts way older then he is and hangs out with a lot older people. he didnt want to tell anyone that we had sex because i am younger and it would ruin his reputation. but after it he ended up telling people. i am with him and his friends at his house a lot and he is always outgoing with them and we act is if we cant see eachother when we are with eachother and other people. when we are alone or with like 2 other people we talk a lot. he acts like an asshole to me half the time and the other half he is nice and sweet. he always wants to cuddle when we are alone and i love it, and then we have sex. ha. i think i might like him and i want to get him to like me. and i want to be more outgoing like him and act like we do when were alone when were with his friends. he seems like the guy that likes the girls that play hard to get, hes a player. i really want this guy to be whipped over me.
SOOOO my question is how do i be more outgoing around him and talk to his friends and stuff and not be quiet?? how do i play hard to get?? (cuz i usually text him first and stuff) how do i make him want me?? and how do i be more assertive?? ( he says he wants me to tell him to do this or do that and not say i dont know or i dont care)
PLEASE HELP ME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH =)
Act confident around him - guys LOVE girls that act confident. Here is a link to a site that hopefully will help:

Try not to text him first and stuff much, because then it will keep him wondering what you've been up to. So that you can be more outgoing around him and his friends, try to have 1 or more of your friends with you so that you'll be more in your comfort zone. hope this helps some. =)

Q: Alright, well right now, i am sort of "talking" to this guy. Whenever he calls me on the phone and he talk or asks me questions, sometimes, i can't understand what he is saying and i ask him "what?" a dozen times and he seems like he is kind of annoyed but his voice is really hard to hear when he talks low and i don't want to sound like a total dork or anything with bad hearing problems and i defeintly don't want to tell him. Also, i think i may be coming off mean because he said he was going to do something tomorrow and i was like "thats boring" and then he didn't really say anything and sometimes i just do that when i like a guy and i don't want to let him know that. Any help?
I know you said you don't want to tell him, but if you can't hear him, you should just tell him that he is speaking too low and you can't hear him, because it's better if you just tell him because he will get really annoyed if you just keep saying "what?" a lot. Try to top putting him down with "thats boring" if you like him, because he'll think he did something wrong and it's definitely not the right image to give him if you like him. It's okay to let a guy know that you like him - depends on the situation though, but just try to stop putting down the stuff that he's doing. hope this helped some.

Q: k so this may sound looserish but whatever.
ive been going to my highschool for only one year, i showed up in 10th grade and everyone knew eachother already even since middle school and so it was a little difficult to make friends at first seeing as how im kind of shy. eventually i became friends with these two girls and we were always together and known as the trio, had lunch together etc. i got to know other ppl but was never really interested in getting really close to anyone else because i had them. now school is going to start soon and i just found out that one of the two girls is moving and the other one might not be in the same lunch period as me and so now i have no idea who im going to sit with. i dont want to sit by myself but also i cant just barge in on other people and sit with them because ive seen how that can be annoying to ppl. so what could i do?
See if it's possible to change your lunch period into hers. If not, ask around to see who will be in your lunch, then try to contact them and see if you can sit with them. If that doesn't work, and there's no one that'll let you sit with them sit by yourself - but have something to do so you don't look like an outcast, - take out a journal or notebook so you'll look busy. While that's going on, try to make friends with people that are in your lunch - I know you said that you're shy, but make it your goal to talk to people so that you won't have to sit alone much.
hope this helped. =)

Q: im attending a fashion show tomorrow! and im having a fashion emergency! i have no idea what kind of eyeshadow makeup to wear! i have really small eyes, but not super small, asian eyes, and i really don't like red, it makes my eyes look all poofy.
i wanna do the smokey eye effect, but i don't think it'll look good.
here are the temporary eye shadow colors i have;
gold, purple, black, grey, blackish grey, shimmer white and thats it.
so i wanna make use of what i have.
i really wanna do the smokey eye but im really doubt-ish about it.
any suggestions?
Try the smokey eye just to see how it looks anyways, and if it looks really bad and you still want to go with the darker effect, try the purple, if that doesn't look good, try gold before trying the shimmer white, just in case that looks better. hope this helped some.

Q: I'm f/14.
I've had my boyfriend for 5 months, and I really don't like him as much as I did at first. He seems to be pretty in love with me, though. I feel bad because I don't return the feeling.
A few weeks ago I went to this camp and met a guy I really like. I think about him all the time. He lives in a completely different state, but I email him every day.
Now I'm seriously considering breaking up with my boyfriend, but I don't know how or what to say. (It will be my first time breaking up with someone.) I'm nervous to tell him about the guy from camp because he might get the impression that I was cheating.

Any suggestions on what to do????
Thanks. =]
You should break up with your boyfriend, but don't tell him about the other guy. Just say something on the lines of, "Im sorry, but this isn't working out." "I dont feel the same way about you." "I like someone else." - or anything like that basically, because no matter what you say it will still hurt him. hope this helped some.
