I was thinking about tanning over the winter. I have never been before, I was wondering what to expect, what levels I should use, what I should wear, how often I should go and stuff about costs, etc.
I'm already dark skinned, a bit.
Thanks! (link)

I'm not trying to sound preachy or anything... but I would advise anyone not to use tanning beds ever. It really is like an addiction. It's expensive, and once you start, it is hard to stop. Those who use tanning beds before age 30 have a 75% greater chance of developing skin cancer than those who dont. People think they're invincible, but this is scary stuff. Look into airbrush tans. There are some out there that look extremely real and last a while. But be careful...cheap spray tans will make you look orange and blochy. There are also some good tanning lotions out there that you use as a moisturizer. And if you still insist on using a tanning bed, do yourself a favor and do some research first. Hope this helped a little!

how do i get over my ex boyfriend? i dont want to date him again, but i always think about him. i am fifteen and a girl. (link)
| |
its natural to constantly think about someone you just dated. honestly the only way to get over him is over time. eventually you will find someone else and realize that there is a reason you and him didnt work out. it always seems like youll never get over someone but, trust me, you will. hang out with your friends a bunch and put yourself out there.

so all my freinds like hip hop and rap but i think its kinda stupid.i like metal better.i also look like a headbanger too like i have a mowhawk,slipknot jacket, and the whole nine yards, but im kinda startin to like those other stupid songs but i dont want to.i couldnt imagine dancing n stuff to that kinda music and i feel weird when they play it but i really am starting to like it so please give me any advice possible. (link)

thats funny because i am totally in the same boat. most of my friends listen to basically whatever is on the radio and popular at the time... hip hop, rap, some pop stuff. and that music is fun and theres nothing wrong with finding yourself jamming to it. its catchy. but i love metal as well...basically stuff my friends cant stand. i think its cool to like different music as well as music your friends like. nothing wrong with that!

Hey, I've asked about this before asking what to wear, but I'm getting slimed (covered in nickelodeon green slime) tommorrow for a charity fundraiser. Everyone I asked including friends and people on here said i should get dressed up to get slimed because it would be funnier, so I'm going to wear my white full-length dress from prom with silver heels. How should i do my hair? I'd like something formal that will look funny when it gets slimed and will go from being all neat and formal to being matted down. Maybe something with lots of volume? Any advice? Thanks :) (link)

I think it'd be best if it was down with big voluminous curls. that is if your hair is long enough for that. up wouldnt be as dramatic. that sounds awesome tho, good luck!

This guy told me he likes me because i'm naive? what did he mean? (link)
| |
well naive means ignorant, clueless, etc. maybe he meant more along the lines of innocent? i would be pretty insulted if a guy said that to me... unless he was kidding around.
|
He told me he's not keen on girls with nerves of steel.
what does that mean? (link)
|
hm.. what an odd thing to say...
well the expressions "nerves of steel" usually means great courage and bravery. i don't know why he wouldn't be "keen" on someone with those qualities. hope that helps.

Hello..
Hello I've been in a relationship with my boy friend for a long time now. He means everything to me. (link)
| |
It sounds like he has some insecurity issues. One of my ex boyfriends was the same way. He didn't have the highest self esteem so he was always worried about me breaking up with him. However, I think the mother thing definitely has a lot to do with it. The role our parents have in our lives is huge. If the main female figure in his life was so careless and untrustworthy, it is very possible that he is channeling these feelings into your relationship. The best thing you can do is sit down with him and tell him just how much he means to you. The smallest compliment can be amazingly helpful and reassuring. I hope this helps at least a little. Good luck with everything.

15/f. boyfriend-15/m
My boyfriend and I see each other at least 3 or 4 times a week. Lately, all we've been doing is making out and stuff. I want to do more. I don't want to have sex, because I know we both aren't ready for it. I just want to do something to turn him on, I guess. Like, while making out and stuff. I don't want to do anything sexual, like fingering and blow jobs/hand jobs. I'm very content with just making out, but yet I want to do more? Ha, What else can I do?
Thankies. :D (link)
| |
haha well... there is one thing you can do to "spice up" making out without moving any further sexually. switch positions. i know it really turns a guy on when he is sitting on the couch and you sit on top of him straddling him. the same when he's laying down. also roll around. roll off the couch onto the floor. make it fun! start standing up and push him down to the couch. guys love when you show you're in control. hope it helped! =]

Well, looking at the other answer, yes crunches are great, but you won't be able to show off your abs until you lose the weight in that area. Stomach fat is very stubborn. I myself have struggled in that area. It's great that you are running and walking. That helps a lot. Really, just be careful with what you are eating. Take a look at the calories you are taking in. Eat several, small-portioned, healthy meals rather than 3 huge meals. Also, don't eat 3 hours before you go to bed. This is VITAL! It sounds like you are making a lot of progress so don't give up. I know it can be VERY frustrating. It will take a while for your stomach to become completely flat. All of us have that little "survival pouch" that doesn't seem to want to go away. You are exercising enough so watch your eating habits and be sure you aren't eating too many fatty foods. This makes all of the difference. Weight loss takes a while. Remember that. But if you work for it you will get your desired results! I promise. I've been there. Hope this helps!

what is the best diet that you have tried and had the best results (link)
|
Every time I have tried a specific diet I've failed miserably after a few days. I know you hear it all the time but it is true: Diets do not work. What you should do is simply learn how to eat right and develop a healthy lifestyle in general, rather than "diet" for a certain period of time. I have a lot to say so bear with me...
First of all, exercise is really important. Something as simple as even walking for 30 minutes can be a huge benefit. If you like to run, running is awesome, and so is biking. Try to get at least 30-minute periods of exercise in a few times a week.
Next is the actual eating. I have learned something so important: LOOK AT THE CALORIES! This doesn't mean you have to go crazy with counting calories, but look at what is going to go into your body before you eat it. Also, pay attention to the serving size. For example, you might eat a bowl of Special K Cereal and think you are being healthy because it only has 100 or so calories, but you might pour yourself a large bowl of it. If you look at the box, a serving size is one cup (or around that). You need to make sure you are giving yourself the serving size and not a huge bowl. Do the same with the milk. If you drink coffee in the morning, don't go crazy with sugar and cream. I don't like my coffee black, so I just put some skim milk in it. Little things like this make a huge difference.
As far as meals go, try to eat more little meals throughout the day as opposed to the standard Americanized 3 huge meals. Here's an example of what I might eat in one day:
Breakfast: low-fat 100 calorie yogurt, cup of tea
Snack: walnuts and grapes or walnuts and raisins
Lunch: tuna sandwich and a few pretzels
Snack: veggies and a low-fat dip
Dinner: small portion of whole-wheat pasta, tomato sauce
And 2 more things:
1. It is okay to have sweets/junk food every once in a while! Just don't go crazy. If you totally take sweets out of your daily intake, one day you will BINGE. Trust me, I did this and one day I went to McDonalds and got a cheeseburger, fries, AND a chocolate shake. You don't want that to happen. So every once in a while it's okay to have a scoop of ice cream or a Kit-Kat bar. A little sweetness is good for you every so often!
2. Do not eat 3 hours before you go to sleep. One of the biggest mistakes people make is eating right before bed, which means those calories are sitting in your body turning into fat as you lie motionless sleeping. If you go to bed at 10, don't eat after 7, for example. THIS HELPS A LOT!
So, how do I know this? I have tried many, many different diets and none have worked. Once I learned to simply be smart and look at calories and eat healthfully I have lost a good amount of weight. Don't expect 10 pounds of weight loss in a week, because that wouldn't be healthy. It has been 2 months for me and I've lost 10 pounds. It makes you feel better too! Being healthy really is being happy. So be smart and good luck!!

How do you get your butt bigger? (link)
| |
You cannot simply make your butt "bigger" without implants, which I would probably not recommend, but you can centainly tone your glutes which will make your butt more muscular and will give it a nice, firm, possibly larger, appearance. Doing simple exercises daily such as squats and glute-raises will really make a difference. If you have any specific questions about helpful exercises feel free to ask!

Lately my boyfriend has been really busy, which is a huge 360, because I was always the busy one. Now, I'M the one who has nothing to do and always wants to hang out, but he's always working.
Then, when he has a day off, he'll call me and we make plans, but when that day finally comes, he's sleeping in. I understand he's tired, but I'm tired too. I'm tired of the false promises he's making me and I can only put up with so much.
I call him up while I'm upset and flustered (I'm only human and I have the right to be), then he'll say something on the lines of, "See, this is why I don't want to hang out with you, because this is how you act."
I thought he'd be more understanding because he used to be in my position, but now, it's like he's taking advantage of it. I'm the only one who's being understanding because I keep taking his crap. I'm so tired of getting my hopes up and being letdown.
Now, he made plans with me again to hang out on his day off, and I don't know how to respond.
I want to decline because I feel like he doesn't deserve me, that I'm not some lightswitch he can turn on and off as he pleases, and that I've had it. I don't want to give him what he wants.
On the other hand, why should I be so spiteful? Because in the end, that's what I wanted.. to spend time with him, and I'm gonna pass it up? But I don't want to give in. Like I said, I don't wanna play on his terms and play whenever it's "convenient" for him.
What should I do about this? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. (link)

Well i think one problem is that you are calling him while you're upset. This is never a good idea. You two need to talk calmly about it. And in my opinion, the tired thing is no excuse. You could always go to his house and fall asleep together. He should want to see you no matter how tired he is, and he certainly shouldn't back out of your plans together. Let him know that it really hurts you. Hopefully this will help him to understand. Good luck!
