A week and a half ago I admitted to my guy friend that I liked him and I pretty much scared the hell out of him. We didn't talk over that weekend or the monday after, and by then I'd already realized that the way I told him (long story) was way too forward, and in addition to the fact that it's not everyday a girl justs blurts that out to him. Then on tuesday, which was last week I apologized for freaking him out and he said it was ok and he pretty much admitted that I freaked him out but that was the last time we discussed it. I'm completely relieved that we're still friends but he never said whether he feels te same way or not, so I'm thinking that either he's been thinking about it and is not sure how to respond or not sure how he feels or he's just trying to forget about it. Last Wednesday though I could clearly tell he was nervous whenever I looked at him or spoke to him, not in the way he spoke but just by his body language and facial expression. and in one of our classes he still seemed nervous but he was still talking to me and we would still laugh about some stuff so I was relieved that he wasn't avoiding me or anything. But during that period, and we weren't doing anything that period we were just hanging out while other people in our class were taking a test, he kept looking over at me, which he never usually does, so i don't know what to think of that. After tat day vacation started and tomorrow it'll be a week since we last talked and he hasn't texted me or anything, which I guess is not too surprising because he never really did that much in the past. I can't help to wonder if he's still thinking about it&is still unsure or if he's been trying to forget about it. But either way I would assume that once we're back in school on Monday no matter what the case is he's still going to have the fact that I like him in mind whenever he talks to me. But I'm scared after this week and a half the thought will have blown over too much. And I've decided that if he decides he likes me back, then the ball is in his court, and I won't push him about it or bring it up unless he does, because if anything I'm really lucky that he's still my friend, that usually wouldn't happen to me (but with guys ive like in the past, they always found out from other people, not me, telling this particular guy directly that I liked him was one of the hardest things I've ever done). Even though I'm completely willing to remain friends if that's what ends up happening, I still want to be kindof flirty with him and sortof make sure he doesn't forget how I feel and still considers ever giving me a chance. How do I act around him without being too pushy and being too obvious?

Hello there,
My answer for this question is that he knows you like him. And you told him this. Telling people that you like them is hard for most people, so this was quite a courageous act. The hard part is over with; telling this boy that you like him is very brave of you.
You've already talked to him about your feelings once. You seem quite brave around him, so just ask him about his feelings on what you told him. Ask him what's going on. Things like that.
It may not be as easy as it sounds, so maybe make a list of things you want to say so you don't forget any details. But you can always leave out some of those if you want.

I HOPE THIS HELPS :]

Well ever since i was little Ive had depression and anxiety...Ive tried almost every type of antidepressants, anxiety meds and all kinds of therapy, except shock therapy...I've been in inpatient programs three times as well as out patient...no matter what i do and don't do, I'm always soo depressed...not a day goes by that i don't want to die...I'm 19 now, still suffering from horrible panic attacks and suicidal thoughts...i have a boyfriend and i love him so much...and i don't want to live with out him...but my depression and anxiety makes me push him away...and its not him saying it...i no i do it...i just want to be happy...i haven't not wanted to kill myself in over 10 years...Ive tried suicide 6 times and was hospitalized each time...but for some reason nothing is helping me...i don't know what to do...i'm going insane and slowly giving up...Ive tried everything...HELP ME PLEASE!!!

This is a hard thing to deal with .
But one thing ; please don't commit suicide again . Life is worth more than that . Imagine your boyfriend , friends and family, who love you so very much grieving over your death . You don't want that do you ?
That's all I can really say ;

'Hope I helped , :]
Maaaaadi .

I am so sorry about your friend .
It is natural that you're sad ,
anyone else would be the same .
Cry it out , hun .
Eventually , your little rememinders will cease a bit , but they'll probably never stop .
You're going to have to deal with that by yourself.
It's a tough thing , I understand , and it will take time to get over .
Just please don't do anything stupid like suicide , because life's worth more then that .

'Hope this helps , :]

I have 2 gerbils, and I love them very much. I really want to get more, but my mom and dad won't let me because I sometimes forget to feed them. I notice in a day or 2, and they never eat a lot of food anyway, so there's no harm, but my parents are still set in stone. How can I convince them?

I know this doesn't sound very good, but if you want to get more gerbils, try to be used to caring for the first two before you get any more. You don't want them to die, do you?
Pets can take a bit of time to get used to, especially when you have to care for them.
Just make sure you're caring for them everyday. That's one way to show your parents you can get more; to care exceptionally for the ones you have now.

'Hope this helps !
