Okay, well I am a sophomore in highschool and there is this junior or senior(i'm not too sure) that I liked. We do not have any classes together except for lunch and band. Band is four times a week. From the starting of the year we both used to stare at each other when we see each other in the hallways. When we look at eachother we would quickly look away and we would do that a lot. When he played his instrument in band he tried to impress me when playing. That happened a couple of times. I really wanted to talk to him, but since i am shy i really couldn't. After a while I stopped looking at him because i thought he didn't like me at all. Twice when he saw me he would turn around ad start walking the other was. Once he saw me (i think) and said "fuc**** sophomore) He talks to everyone else but me even the people in my grade. My locker is near to one of my aquaintances and he complimented her once also my locker is next to another one of my aquiantances and he started talking to her at the end of the day. It was my birthday before winter break and my friends told him to say happy birthday to me and he stared at me blankly. I slowly turned around and resumed to what I was doing then he walked away and mumbled "happy birthday". A day later he was talking to his friend and he was saying someting about chickening out. I passed him in the hallway alone and he sighed...so does he hate me? (link)
This sounds like he does like you at least a little bit. The easiest way to get him to talk to you, is to talk to him. It might be hard because you're shy but it will ultimately work out in the long run, just talk to him directly about absolutely anything ask him about himself and compliment him on his playing after band or anything that you feel might deserves complimenting. Just be straightforward and talk to him, he's probably also shy (just specific to girls he likes.)


It seems like it takes me FOREVER to get comfortable in bed enough to fall asleep. I mean, seriously, sometimes I'm awake for 2 hours tossing and turning trying to get in a comfortable position. It's really weird. I was wondering why this happens? Even when I'm already tired I just can't get in the right spot. Is this normal? Should I talk to a doctor? I know my dad takes forever to go to sleep too but because he has a bad back...do you think my back is messed up too maybe and I don't know it? :-\ (link)
I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping but I found this cool trick that you can do and it really helps. Lie on your back in bed, and when you go to turn or move.... DON'T. That basically tells your brain that you're already asleep and your body will actually force you to sleep really fast. I went from sleeping like 3-4 hours a night to falling asleep in like twenty minutes top.


Ok so I am looking for some ways to be flirty, like some good tips!! Because for some reason this year after I lost my best friend because she turned let's say bad no guys talk to me anymore just because I've lost my flirtyness. Guess you could say because I don't hang out with her anymore. Thanks(: (link)
Well as a guy, I really like it when girls go out of their way to talk to me. Some things I've noticed (I reluctantly admit I've also looked it up before) is that girls will often make eye contact, smile, laugh at every joke, even touch the guy a little (like a brush on the arm) when they flirt. Though flirting usually happens naturally, at least as far as I know, so just strike up a conversation with a guy if you think you could like him, see how it goes and just make your intentions clear.


My friend used this site to design her own engagement ring: http://www.zoara.com/
Has anyone ever used it? Any recommendations?
Also, is it wise to design my own engagement ring? Friends have told me that it is actually time saving and that it costs less when you design your own ring..any thoughts?
(link)
Well I have never been engaged myself, so never used the site, but when my now brother-in-law was ring shopping he got his made at a jewelry store custom. He said that it does save money, and in my opinion it has a touch more of a romantic feel to it. His only took two weeks to get made after he ordered it and they even said that if he was declined they'd refund the ring, which hopefullly won't matter. Hope I helped even a little, and good luck with your proposal.


I recieved a large bottle of vodka for christmas but I don't like it straight. I want to know some things I can mix with it and make shots out of it and to make it a little less harsh. Thanks so much and have a good new year. (link)
The great thing about vodka s that the good stuff doesn't have a taste so it doesn't matter what you mix with it. Orange juice, pop, almost anything can be used to make vodka drinks. I hope that helps anyways.

By the way a screwdriver (a very popular drink) is just orange juice (no pulp) and vodka so keep that in mind if you're desperate.


I have never released cum before during sexual intercourse. What does it feel like before you do it? Like how will I know when Im about to cum, so I can actually finish successfully?

*I've had feelings in the past of feeling like I had to pee really bad, and my ex use to tell me all the time that it was because I had to nut and it was cum building up, and for me to let it out, and when I try to during intercourse, nothing happens, it just hurts.

? (link)
That is in fact true, when you get that 'I have to pee' feeling all I can say is that you have to relax, just focus on what feels good and keep pushing through, the longer it builds up like that the better it will feel when you finally do release anyways so just keep going with it.


In my daughter's school there will eventually be a swimming unit in gym class some times in the following semesters and both boys and girls have the class together. Isn' t kind of wrong to force young people to be in bathing suits in front of each other? Even if its one piece? I assumed they would be seperate. Daughter is in 8th grade by the way (link)
I don't believe so, there would be no difference between that and going to a beach or a public swimming pool, except that they would have teachers present to monitor their behavior.
When I was in school there was never an issue, I'm sure when you were her age you wore a bathing suit at some point in front of a boy that age as well, it's just the cycle of life.


My bf is really controlling. He always has to know where I am, what I'm doing, who I'm with, and everything. He controls like everything. If I end up being like 10 minutes late from when he told me to call him (like if I go out shopping and was suppose to call him at noon, but I call him at like 12:10) then he gets all angry and yells and screams and tells me I'm a really, really bad gf. I know this isn't healthy but I LOVE HIM. When he isn't mad at me then we have a really good time together. Is there something I can do to make him not controling and better understanding? Do I HAVE to dump him, because all my friends say he's just abusive and it'll get worse but he's everything to me. Help, please! What do I do? (link)
The sad truth about it all is yes you should dump him. This sort of behavior will not end, as this abusive behavior is a part of him. It will be hard- all breakups are however it will be in your best interest to leave him and move on with your life.


I have a really spoiled best friend and I really can't stand being around her anymore. Her parents have lots of money and my friend gets showered with money all the time. The last time my friend and I went to the mall her dad gave her $200 and said here honey have fun! I have an allowance and I actually have to work to get my money and my friend has never done any work in her life! She wears expensive clothes and has a container ten times the size of a shoebox chock full of makeup she never wears! She makes me so mad! She brags about it too!
Please help me!
Thank you :) (link)
I fully understand your situation, the only thing to do, because I assume she must have good qualities as well. You have to take a moment and realize that her family's wealth is irrelevant to you. THe fact that she brags is what you need to address, when you talk to her next just tell her that it bothers you, in a calm, nice way. If your friendship is worth it for both of you, she and you will get past this.

My best friend is really rich, I spent three months in a homeless shelter just last year, but we are friends to the end you need to realize that friendship is very important and just to work through it.


Hey,
I'm 16 and give a lot of advice but can't find the answer to my own. I've been into acting for 4 years and want to make it in the business, it's really all I want to do. I'm pretty confident and a positive thinker. I'm doing "performance studies" as a course now. But I'm from a little town in England,which is not on the map, and most people havent even heard of it. Is there any hope? I'm so dedicated and committed to anything that I'll get a chance to do. I just want to break out and make it big! But there are NO auditions here, and if they are they are really far away and my parents both work till late and I feel helpless because I don't know how or what to do. Is there any hope at all? I also take acting lessons online aswell as school, at home I take notes while i watch tv. It's becoming a big part of me..
(link)
I'm not sure how small your town is, but you are quite young. This is your biggest advantage. As far as acting goes- experience is better than talent- so take your time keep learning, take parts in plays within your community or places that are closer than the city. Also it would never hurt to make your own films as well, post them on youtube, as well as other websites like deviantart.com and other video/art sharing sites. It's the disadvantage of living in a small town, but if you have the passion you will make it big, but you have so many years left to live right. So you're going to need to work with what you have until you can move to the cit on your own.


Is it ok for a guy to hit his girlfriend, even if she did something to piss him off really bad? (link)
In a healthy relationship (regardless of whether it's boyfriend/girlfriend, friends, etc.) arguments are bound to happen. However it isn't healthy when either partner hits the other one. It's easy enough to justify that you made him mad, but if you think about it if a friend of yours pissed you off would it be considered good to hit them. Usually the answer is no, in romantic relationships- since they are already difficult and full of fights- it is important to never hurt your partner.

Long answer I know but in short no, a guy should never hit his girlfriend.


So do guys actually get pleasure and like fingering girls or do they just do it to make us happy? (link)
THe answer depends on the guy, I know guys who don't like to do it because it puts off sex/their pleasure. However most men (me included) really do enjoy seeing their partners receive pleasure it's great foreplay so at the end of it, don't worry about it they'll let you know.


Hey everyone, I am really desperate (I really am) and I need some advice!

I'll try to make long story short. I'm 20 years old and my best friend is 15. I've known her since childhood but we've been friends for about four years now. I sort of fell in love with her soon after our first play-date; she was 11 at the time. It took me about a year to tell her how I felt and I didn't get much of a positive feedback. At first she didn't like the idea at all but she couldn't stop thinking about it. She told me many times it was never gonna happen. She had always wanted a brother and she found one in me... But as time was passing I couldn't help but notice she felt something for me as well. Most of the time, though, I wasn't sure whether it was just my misinterpretation of her 'brotherly emotions'. Anyway, I was always too afraid to make a move and see where I'm standing. I didn't even know if I was SUPPOSED to make a move or wait for her to do it first. I had never had any experience with girls before. So now, four years later, things are still the same.

Almost the same actually!

In the past six months she has given me some clear signs that she wanted to be more than friends. We sometimes talk or text about it, she tells me it may be a good idea for us to be together, but then she backs off! A couple of times she even said she loved me. She also said there were times in the past when she wouldn't have backed off if I'd tried to kiss her...

The worst thing was when we 'cuddled' on this bench in park. I found her literally lying in my lap after a while and we almost held hands! But despite the OBVIOUS sign - I was gutless to do anything about it! And I hate myself for that till this very day!

So I have missed some perfect opportunities and now I'm not sure if it's too late! I also don't get to see her very often so when I do - I need to be ready to make a move! But I don't know if I will be! So what do I do? And how do I do it? I’m just really afraid something could go wrong… but at the same time I know I might be letting something great slip! I wish I could just knock on her door on a random day and go for it! But I don’t know if she will be in the mood… So I’m really freaking out. Time is passing and I’m just standing still.

I’d appreciate it if you could tell me SOMETHING that I don’t know. Anything! A word of advice of encouragement! Whatever you think might help me pound on an opportunity!

Well, that’s about it…

I guess I didn’t make the long story short after all.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Don't give me any of that 'she's too young' crap. I'm not asking to have sex with her, just to date her. (link)
Alright, to start I should say that her behavior can be attributed to her age mostly. 15 year old girls often have trouble expressing themselves as it comes with emotional maturity. But she is old enough to know what you want and whether or not she's willing to give it a try.

With that out of the way I now have to say, the best way to go about it is to be somewhat blunt. Due to your previous experiences with her you will have to say to her... I like/love you (not for me to say) and I would love to try us as a couple, then give her time and space don't pressure her she will pick what's right for both of you.


I'd like to go further into advertising, since it it something I'm interested in doing in the future.
What type of subjects should I pick in school and also in the future; so what kind of things I should study?
A teacher I talked to said that Philosophy would be very useful, does anyone have any experience with this?

Any answers would be appreciated! :) (link)
Philosophy is surprisingly helpful for advertising in my opinion(talks about consumerism and such) but if your school offers a communications technologies course that is almost essential (it's a college course as well if you can't take it at your school, and business classes such as possibly an advertising class (obviously) but also Entreprenureship or another class I've heard of where you do online and computer work for various projects talk to your guidance counsellor for more advice.
[By the way, just so you know I am canadian so the classes might be different and such]


Warning: This will get long. 14, Female.


When I look in the mirror, I hate what I see. I think I am one of the most disgusting looking people on this planet. The boys in my school don't make this any better either. One day during a class I was fixing my eye make up and my teacher was like "Don't do that in here, save that for you're time. You're pretty without the make up anyway." and on of the boys made a comment that really, really hurtful remark and still does to this day it hurts, which was "HA NO SHE'S NOT" That was one of the meanest comments I have ever recieved, and it makes me cry.

My best friend is commonly agreed as the prettiest girl in my grade, not just by us freshmen but by everyone else too! When I stand next to her, I feel so gross. I hate it, honestly I do. I used to cut and I'm trying so dearly hard to refrain from it, but each day the temptation gets harder and harder to resist. I know I'm skinny also, but I feel like an ogre to put it in simpliest terms. I feel like I'm overgrown and horribly fat. It's disgusting.

I'm on pills right now for controling Bi-Polar, and that makes me feel even worse about myself. Like I'm incredibly "fucked up" and I have to take some stupid pill to be a normal human being. It makes me cry at night. I can't help it though.

Anerexia and cutting never looked so good. I'm heading in the wrong direction and typing this had made me cry, showing how much it affects me. I sometimes wish I would die, and get it over with, so all the sadness will disappear. When I'm going to take my pills, sometimes I consider taking them all so it would all be over.

Please someone help, I'm loosing all hope in life, and I don't know what to do. (link)
One thing I can tell you as a guy... when we're in school high school etc. we all have problems self esteem issues but unfortunately some boys choose the immature methods to deal with them, by making fun of people who are self concious. As far as the bipolar disorder goes, that is not something that you need to be down on yourself about. Having a mental disorder does not mean you are wrong, I am a victim of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and my life is different than those who aren't affected by the disorder but it isn't fucked up. It's normal to have flaws, and it's normal to worry about the way you look, but becoming anorexic actually negatively impacts the way you are viewed by others, one of the most attractive features to a person is knowing that they know they are not perfect but take the time to know they have good qualities. When I get that feeling of doom and just wanting to let go... it's hard to say but I always think of one thing or time or person that makes me feel good, then I focus on this until I just feel a little bit better. Counting helps to calm the nerves as well this is all I can think to say, but if you still wish to talk to me then can you please contact me on my page I will check within the next few days.


So I've been messing around with a guy for a long time now. Like we're friends but we don't talk about any of the sexual things we do. So I can't ask him.

But we've done everything (let your imagination wander) and he's never ejaculated! Never!

I'm not asking how to make this happen but could it be something with him, or that I'm doing something wrong? And is it really weird? (link)
This guy is ignoring the most important part of being intimate, which is to communicate. Alot of guys have this problem when they're younger (13-15 years old) and there is a chance that he feels ackward about the situation, and is thereore too nrevous to arrive. Some men who are not completely through puberty will have a very weak ejaculation as well, you may not have noticed. I recommend talking to him about when you're alone obviously and just be nice about it, don't make seem like it makes him a bad partner just that it's something that concerns you.


Hi.
I'm looking for some guitar chords by an Australian band called Killing Heidi. The song I need the chords for is called "Your Hands".
Can't seem to find it anywhere. I'd prefer chords rather than tab if possible please.

Thankyou. (link)
Hey i've been playing for almost two years now, and I reccomend searching on www.e-chords.com they have tons of international bands. Signing up is free and makes the site useable and is free. I reccomend it, it even has tabs on it.
