advice

okay say if you knew someone that had troubles or is in a different situation that most people or live withs someone different than your normal family, would that be harder for you to have a relationship with that person or to care for him. what would it take for say like you to really care for a person with a different life or a different home situation?

i don't really get your question, you worded it funny. but i think its all about you, how do ou view things? do you pity them, envy them, love them..it just depends on your outlook and i think it'd be easy to care for them, unless they absolutly hate you because you have a better life or family. hope i helped. :)

dear mandie

i rarely ever get a girlfriend and i dont know why? i have had some hardships in my life but things are looking normal again. ive met some some awsome people that i felt like i was supposed to be with for the rest of my life with and that just seemed perfect through my eyes. when i look at me i see that i can do just about anything and go through anything and still have a smile on my face. i think no one has gotten to know the real me which isnt just funny or smart but all sorts of things. will there ever be some one who cares about me because they know the real me and not just one side?

i think there is a person for everyone...but the thing is that you've gotta be open and willing to except people. like yourself, alot of people have those problems and think they are more than thier looks, being funny, being smart..all sorts of things. but i beleive when the time is right you'll find that one person you're meant to be with and who can accept you for you! hope i helped. :)

hey mandie we're all goin back to school..i want a lowdown on EVERYTHING, what do you think we(guys) should wear, is pink gay now? is abercrombie smart, or just a waste of moolah. Do you think i should stay single and play it out for a few weeks or hook up quick, do you think we should party hard or study for these first weeks?..tell me sumn mandie i'm makin this year better then the last..thanks

okay, lemme see here...
-um, pink isn't gayy, its actually a really "in" color for guys right now and if you have the money and like abercrombie go for it. other "hot" places to shop are hollister co. and american eagle.
-the whole dating thing......uhhhh, well if you go to Jersey Village you need to find a date for homecomming quick because its like our 2nd or 3rd football game, but as far as the "hook up" i have friends who are going to be dating and friends who like to be single, its all a matter of what you want to do and if anyone is into you that way.
-the first few weeks are kinda easy but near the second semester you need to get a little serious and i guess you can lighten up around christmas and then get more serious around the 3rd week back in school and ligten up after finals.
--i hoped i helped some. :)

okay. i have this boyfriend. that ive known since the 7th grade n im going to 10th now. n weve dated once before for liek 3 months n then it didnt really work cause we were both young n (oh i forgot to say he lives like three hours away from me) we both couldnt drive so the only way i couldve seen him is when i went to my grnadmas but i couldnt go for the longest time so ya. n then i went to my grandmas for my spring break in 8th grade n we went out while i was up there n then we broke up again cause we still knew it just couldnt work we were bn stubborn n crap like we knew we liked each otehr so damn much but itd be so fuckign hard to have a relationship n then one day he calls me n we talked for lik 5 or 6 hours catching up on everything n then it got brought up both us going back out n i told him id think bout it n then the next day i went to my grandmas hosue n saw him i knew that we were gonan do anything n everythi nto try n make this work so i said yes. n im so happy i actually kinda think i love this boy but now i miss him sooooo much n i wanan see him but iono when ill be able to cause he is busy wth football n im busy with dance so its hard. n he drives but his car is broke rigth now so ya.. i guess what im tryi nto get to is what do you think i should do?.. i like him ALOT! but doyou think its worth it. with me bn in only 10th grade. n him in 11th. so ya think i should keep going out with him??

--thanks

yes, you've definently earned this one! you should talk on the phone like ALOT and send each other emails and talk online and stuff b/c you will get to know him SO much better if you arn't influenced by the attraction? haha. but every moment you guys share together will mean more to you and you'll definently love him more. keep up whatever you are doing and the seeing each other part..just learn to LOVE your grandma and find any excuse to go there. hope i helped some.. :)

hey mandie, i've got a tini tiny problem on my hands..theres this girl who is really awesome, and we've had our run at things a few times..but how do i know when i should just quit the shit and move on to [hopefully] better things or just stick it out?..i mean its seems like theres still chemistry there..sometimes..but when it seems like there isnt..its like literally like NOTHING there..iuno, but i def need some help from ya manders..

have a nice day and thanks mandie

anonymous [..of course]

okay anonymous, well first off those moments when ya'll have NOTHING is not good at all. it depends on how many NOTHING moments you have compared to how many chemistry moments you guys have. to get over her, just don't give into her when you have chemistry moments. keep an open mind about things and options open on other people. don't close yourself off from other girls who you could possibly have a relationship with. hope i helped. :)

Hey Mandie. I've just recently realized that I am in love with my best friend. Don't worry, I'm a guy and she's a girl. I've all of a sudden become crazy about her and I don't know what to do. She has a boyfriend, but according to her, things aren't too serious, and they are going nowhere. I want to be with her, but I don't want to ruin our friendship, but even if things didn't work, I don't think it would hurt. I don't exactly know how to tell her how I feel or get her to like me, what should I do? She also won't take me seriously if I do, so how do I show her I'm for real?

um. you mentioned you wouldn't really be hurt if you didn't get her..thats good because everything is pretty 50 - 50 these days. but...tell her you are serious and keep on pursisting that you are and she will finally realize it. if her and her boyfriend arn't going anywhere...why are they still together? possibly she is saying that because she doesn't want to hurt you, but hopefully she isn't. just keep it real with her and keep telling her the truth and one day it'll all pay off. hope i helped a little. :)

Im hideous. i really am ugly. i cant help it... n ppl make fun of me for it. i wish there was something i could do about it... obviously im not searching for sympathy since im not puttin my name but really... guys dont like me. i have a good personality n all but still, they dont like me. is there anything that I can do?


-Ugly loser

okay. i'm sure you really arn't that ugly. people these days are mean, they really are, everyone has a mean streak. first step is not caring. wheater you're pretty or ugly, you need to not dwell on what people say. if they call you fat, it doesn't mean you are, they voiced thier opinion and thats it, move on with your life and get over it. when people say mean things, they don't mean them half the time, they say them to make them selves feel better because they feed off of your response. second, you can try and make yourself appealing. don't over succed and become like anerexic but try and loose weight if your a little on the heavy side and if you have acne or zits, problem areas...go to a dermetologist or doctor and see what can be done. Noxiema and Nuetrogena work for me!! and about your face, if its really THAT ugly...you can do things like focus on your eyes or lips or eyebrows and make them gorgeous with make-up or pluck and facial hair thats not needed..but don't go overboard on the plucking part. there are many things you can do but it all starts with not listening and not caring to what others say. if your personality is great like you said it is, then just work on your exterior to make it the same way. remember to no change who you are. hope i helped some. :)

well theres this guy and omg im crazy about him and well i like him like so much and he makes me laugh and happy. well we spend time together and we talk on the phone and on aim and one night he came to my house at 4 in the morning. i dont kno i felt such a connection and i wanna kno do you think i should tell him my feelings or keep it to myself bc it could ruin our friendship. gosh.. its so confussing... ughh...

well this all depends on him, you do not wanna scare him away because then anything you do he takes into like a whole diffrent level and when you try and apologize to him for being "too open" he kinda sees it as a "i'm sorry, i just wanna make you love me, feel sorry for me". its messed up. so you need to know if he kinda feels the same. one night when ya'll are talking ask him some personal questions and then bring up some ex-girlfirends and who he likes now and then if he is kinda open and what-not he trusts you. hint into it that you kinda like him, suggest a future with him VERY slightly and just don't jump out there and tell him you love him. THATS A BIG MISTAKE!! ha. but just hint to him and if he picks up he mite let you know how he feels about you. hope i helped. :)

[view]

hey......ur hot.

thanks? i can't help you with that...something is seriously wrong with you!!!!

[view]

is it wrong to ask a girl out if shes 2 yrs younger than me?

not at all. its only 2 years?? whats that..like 720 days? haha. hope i um...helped? :)

[view]

im in love with my friend.wut should i do to let her know how i feel about her?

be straight up OR play the little analogy game. haha. it works well and its semi-easy. here is an example:

(senario: Billy has had a crush on Barbra for a year now and loved her for..4 months?..yea!)

Billy: Barbra, say i have "this friend" okay?
Barbra: okay...
Billy: now he's had a crush on you for about a year now.
Barbra: really?
Billy: yea, hes also loved you for 4 months..

and unless she is a COMPLETE air head..she'd probably get that the friend is actually you. but if that doesn't work then just tell her straight up that you love her. the flaw in that is that if she doesn't feel the same way she'll feel you came on too strong for her likings.

other ways i guess would be:
- get a friend to tell her, but then you appear 1st grade-ish and kinda look like a wuss.
- make a new screen name and tell her, if she ever finds out she'll laugh and think its cute..and technically it was you who told her?
- be creative and send her an e-card or REAL card in the good ole' mailbox. haha.

hope i helped. :)
(i got WAY into this question..haha)

what do you do if the guy you like says he dosen't like you in a girlfriend way but you think he has to a little bit?

sorry if it's confusing i just don't know how to put it.

well, usually guys lie to you because they are afraid to get rejected or they really arn't lying. for this situation i'd leave him alone and if he trys and talks to you alot and wonders whats up with you and why you haven't been talking to him in a while...i guess he mite care about you. if he tells you he doesn't like you in the girlfriend way accept it and at least be his friend. the more he gets to know you, the more he will get comfortable and get those "feelings" of more than a friendship. hope i helped. :)

[view]

What does someone do if they want to build a better friendship with someone but they hardly spend time with eachother?

they try to keep in contact. if its like a long distance thing there is always the internet (ie: emailing, instant messaging) but its not always a good idea to do the phone unless you're in the smae city b/c parents get suspicious. but if you really wanna keep in contact tell them or just email them like every day or every other day. do the best you can with what you've got. hope i helped. :)

[view]

ok, theres this guy that i used to like a lot at the beginning of the year. and we almost went out. but then i found out he liked my bestfriend. so he wasnt going to ask me out cause his heart wasnt fully with me. i got really hurt and didnt talk to him for forever. b/c he was telling everyone he was going to ask me out, but didnt. now im starting to talk to him again, and hes being all flirty with me, and acting like he likes me. but hes like that with a lotta girls. i dont know if i should try to make things work out betweent us. or just leave them alone. cause i dont wanna get hurt again. what should i do?

um. okay, i would try to not work things up. ITS SUMMER TIME! you're gonna meet new guys and it sounds like he is pretty player-ish. i wouldn't try to get too involved but try to get his retrospect ont he whole situation. hope i helped. :)

[view]

ok hi so i just started talking to this guy and hes is nice but i hear he talks to alot of girls all at one time so he could be talking to me AND someone else too..so how do i know who he likes?!

ask him. talk around and ask about him to your friends and people in your classes. sometimes they can be players but sometimes they can actually like you. i hope i helped. :)

[view]

when do you know if you should get over someone or not?

um..when that person becomes completly annoying. when they become old to you. nothing is special with that person. you have no jokes. you've never said hi to them. you've said a few words here and there but nothing that ever made an impact to THEM. when things don't work out and it been a while. hope i helped. :) (these are just few of many..)
