I was just dumped by this guy for another girl... and I got over it. I was fed up with having my heart broken. but while I was singing this love song that had girl part and a boy part, he comes and sings the boy part with me. I didn't know what to do... so I just stopped singing. But he does this every time I sing!! Plus he's still with the other girl..
What does this mean? I hate him, so I wouldn't like it to mean anything... What should I do?? (link)
he may be trying to play w/ your emotions. i would politely tell him not to talk to you. if it continues, let the vice principal know what he said on a given day (record it) and work from there. if it is sexual harrassment, he is breaking the law.


I started to babysit for money. But there's this evil little kid that is very young (only 6!!) but is verrry perverted. He watches rated R movies, fastforwarding to sex scenes, and he's always trying to touch my parts. I'm 15!! How gross is that?! I told his parents about it, but they wouldn't believe me. He acts like an angel in front of them I guess. I yell at him and everything, but nothing works!!

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? (link)
he knows that you can't spank him and, in turn, acts inappropriately. i wouldn't continue babysitting until after meeting w/ both parents and agreeing to new rules- you delegate what movies he watches and is not allowed to touch you.


what's a ghetto? the dictionaries all have like scientific words that don't make sense (link)
ghettos have lower income housing and are inhapitated by poor people of all walks of life i(ncluding starving students and gang elements). try searching dogpile images under "watts", "east" la and/or "southeast san diego".


so, theres this guy he is sooo cute, funny, nice and just perfect. the thing is hes realllllly short and im pretty tall. i dont know what the matter is..i find myself completly loving him but i have this feeling if i ask him out he will be imtaimadated (or however u spell it) by my height.
(link)
my last gf was 5.11 barefoot and i am almost 5.7- it was never and issue. i felt a little uncomfortable being w/ a tall girl in high schoolm at times. you may need to reassure him that it doesn't matter if he is insecure.


You know how designers design clothes? Well I want to be a person who designs necklaces. Not those expensive thousand dollars ones but things with popular beads so those popular stores like Andreas and Garage can sell them (those kinds of necklaces). Is there a job as such? I hope it is a job but I'm not sure. Here's one of the necklaces that I've made (note that the beads are two times lighter then the picture, I have no idea why the beads look so dark in the picture. If you know why answer that too).

i used to make jewelry w/ my ex. first we designed boards for earing w/ her conact info and then asked around- coffee shops worked well. i'm not sure if she advertised online...craigslist may be suitable. she also sold them at arts and crafts fairs and designed jewelry for a wedding. hope this helps.
ps: share your thoughts w/ employees/customers at bead stores.


I told my best (male) friend that I wouldn't sleep with him. We had been friends for 3 years and really cared about each other. I felt that he was my "soul mate". The problem was that he is trapped in a bad marriage- really bad. They have nothing in common and fight constantly. People say they are like oil and water. I almost think he is afraid of her. They have never had kids and she is older than him with two grown kids who are heroin addicts. lt time I saw him he hinted we should fool around. I told him that as long as he were married I wouldnt sleep with him. Now he wants nothing to do with me. So does that mean he was never intending on leaving her and just wanted an affair? Because I think he really did care about me but is too scared to leave her. She is very vindictive. I know how unhappy he was with her because I could see the pain in his eyes when he was with her at social functions so if you think he's staying with her becuase he loves he it's not true. (link)
he could feel rejected and/or too embarrassed to call. if he is a loyal friend, he'd wait until you're ready to engage in sex.
his feelings could be genuine...trust your intuition.


I know this is going to sound random but w/e.
How do I go about asking my boyfriend if we can have sex without asking him straight up?
Any tips are appreciated.♥ (link)
touch him lightly and kiss his neck and near his mouth. whisper something into his ear and give him long suggestive stares.


theres a guy that i went out with and he broke up with me two days after we got together to be with another girl. then they broke up and i still like him and now he wants me back but i dont want to go against my morals and i know i shouldnt go with him but i kinda want to. what do i do?? (link)
besides the jealousy factor, he might be needy and/or want sex. needy meaning he needs a girl's attention while looking for someone who he considers better.
if i were you, i wouldn't make myself too available. and don't have sex w/him. if he loves you he'll wait.

right im a health freak i eat right i know how to build muscle i hot a* n all fo my p.e work and everything go to the gym every nite and i am the under 15 country bloody record holder for triple jump and sprinting im just gettin pissed off because loads of stupid people in my year keep saying im on steroids its been going on for 2 years what can i do to shut them up i cant fight them because i hate fighting and i cant reason with them and the teachers wont do naything and neither will my parents so im really stuck i thinking of quiting if it will stop them bulyying me any ideas? (link)
these people don't know you and their taunts are probably rooted in jealousy. if you do say something to them, be sure to remain calm and have a trustworthy teacher act as a witness. i'd document any threats (this serves as a legal document) or profanity addressed towards you, make copies and find out what the protocal is for student conflict resolution.
you are smart for not engaging in violence.


i herd my bf kissed another girl so i went and kissed a guy i don't no and i found out the girl he kissed was...........ME.I don't no how to tell him and our relationship is going realy great what am i 2 do? (link)
well i'd be honest- tell him you acted impulsively and in the heat of the moment. tell him that you are sorry and see what he says.


Ok, summary. I'm 23 years old, smart, mature, grounded, and I think I'm pretty and have a great sense of humor. The problem is I have such a hard time attracting guys. I could be thinner...but what I don't understand is, I have a friend who's younger than me by a couple of years and it's like she jumps from one guy to the next.

We're a lot alike, except I'm not really into the partying scene anymore and I don't have a lot of baggage as far as my past goes. It's pretty clean, cut, 2 serious boyfriends and that's it. She has a lot of baggage. Am I doing something wrong?

She's my friend and I think she's great, but I'm just confused as to what she's got that I don't. I personally (and I'm not the only one) don't think she's prettier than I am. I know she's got more confidence than I do. But I'm not the kind of person to just walk in and be all up in someone's face, I'm very down-to-earth and laid back. She's still in the partying scene, while I'm getting out of that and I'm wanting to find a relationship that's not all about partying. Am I lacking an important relationship quality?

I'm in college, work full-time (Monday-Friday), go to church, outgoing, friendly, good sense of humor...
Someone help me because I'm really beginning to second guess myself. (link)
i suggest doing some volunteer work and/or other activities that are fulfilling. maybe you'll meet a potential significant other while volunteering. Do you see guys in church who catch your eye? try making eye contact and smiling. i wouldn't worry about guys not talking to you at the bar...chances are these guys are less available emotionally and aren't ready to settle down.
you mentioned that you could be thinner and seem less confident than your friend. you may want to join a gym and take some classes there- this is both a good way to gain confidence and meet people.
i consider being marriage material to be a good thing. i'd ask your friend for more feedback as to what he considers dating material. empathize w/ 23 year-old boys...most want sex and will put in the least work necessary. in turn, many give their attention to a wild girl b/c 1. there is less fear of rejection, 2. a greater likelihood that she'll get drunk and give it up and 3. is less work than a girl who happens to be marraige material.
i wouldn't beat myself up about this. perhaps you intimidate these guys.


This is a question for people who have social anxiety or know what it's about. I know I have it but i'm wondering it could be worse than just the normal social anxeity. I know many people who have it, but seem to run normal lives. For me my life is run by my anxiety. I'm afraid to awnser the phone, walk in front of people, go out with friends, talk to people, go to school, etc. It's to the extreme where latley i've been very anti social. I've been ignoring my friends for the past three months. I haven't been to school in two weeks. When people talk to me I avoid them. I sometimes wonder if i have paranoid shystco (can't spell that) Are these intense of things going on normal? Or are they more severe than usual. (link)
yes, my experience was similar. i don't believe everything i read, but supposedly if you don't get help your anxiety could worsen. i met w/ a therapsit for a year who thought that was ok to begin w/ (maybe i didn't express myself well) and eventually started taking paxil (20mg). it could help you- everybody's chemistry is different. a good therapist should be helpful, too. i'd call different therapists and ask them about their track records re: commitmentphobia.


i dont know what is wrong with me i dont know weather im afriad of committment or not i want guys to like me i want to have a relationship i want what other people have you know but everytime i get asked out i always find a fault and say not and no im really not shallow or anything and i want a boyfriend so bad some times and than other times i dont you know i just cant make up my mind everytime when i can have a relationship i always seem to convince myself that'll it'll never work out and most of the guys i like never ask me out so am i just being picky or am i just afriad of committment its so confusing i want somebody so bad one minute i want to be loved touched and you feel wanted but than i can never bring myself to really say yes and go for it because i dont know help me please (link)
i bought to books for my ex on commitmentphobia- don't rememember the titles. try searching on amazon (that's where i bought them)under commitmentphobia. after reading the books, if you decide to, you'll realize if you share this phobia.


13/f
I'm pretty sure that I have both of these two things stated in the title. I'm friendly with people I know, but totally ignore any other people I don't. Sometimes people think I'm very arrogant because I don't talk to anyone. I act so confident when I don't talk, because I'm trying to hide my extreme social shyness. This has really prevented me from doing things I want to do, and I avoid most social situations with a guy I like. I wish I could talk or even smile around my crush! You could say I'm painfully shy, I feel like I'm under attack and it's the most uncomfortable thing.

I've heard of a few self help books to help cure this, such as 'Painfully Shy' and 'Dying of Embarrassment'. If anyone has gone through this, what books do you recommend I read to help me?

P.S. I'm not looking for any advice right now such as 'be happier, think positive, and smile', because such things haven't working in the past.

Thanks so much!

i suffer from social anxiety especially at work. i have been taking 20 mg of paxil a day for about a year and it does help lots.
a good therapist should be helpful as well.
10 simple solutions to shyness by anthony m. martin, ph.d is definetly worth reading.
Please don't expect it to see changes right away. instead try applying tools learned from a therapist who you feel comfortable w/ and books.


I'm planning on getting a tatoo soon. It's going to be on my lower back and I was wondering, does it hurt alot? It's not going to be big either. If anyone has gotten one in that specific place, I would greatly appreciate an honest, detailed answer. Thanks! (link)
it is my understanding that women are able to tolerate more tattooing pain. i had a sleeve done last year and was surprised that it wasn't painful compared to a root canal. i'd start w/ a small tat first to see how you handle it. also, some artists don't have a heavy hand- maybe you can ask other girls w/ ink on their lower backs who did their tats.
