HEY! Its fun to give advice to people!! I just get on advicenators when i am bored, and look at questions of people. I try to give good advice, so i hope you like it!!

advice

ok. im going to get straight to the piont. me and my boyfriend use protection (birth control)but i didnt realize that the medication i was on causes bc not to work. so we usually use a condom but we ran out. my last period was aug 30 and i ovulated the 10th through 15th of september. we had sex on the 7th 10th and 15th (and he came in me)
i have been feeling sick having cramps headaches my boobs have been hurting ive been gasy and feeling sick. idk if im pregnant because i have felt all of those things before without being pregnant. i am waiting for my period on the 28th of september but i just wanted some advice on the issue. has anyone had an experience like this pregnant or not? thank you for the help :)

If you are pregnant, there is no way to see signs this early. you will have to wait at least a month, probably 2 from when you had sex.
You really can't do anything but wait for your period. don't be stressed about it because that can make you irregular.
Hope everything turns out ok!

I have a friend who I'm not sure if I should keep in my life. We've had great times and she can be really sweet and funny sometimes, and other times I feel like it's a bad relationship.

She lies, a lot. I've learned that it's easier to just roll my eyes and not confront her about it, because getting in a fight with her isn't worth it. She says a lot of things that I (and other people) think are complete bullshit. It just gets to be too much. It's not like I lie or exagerate or go on and on about how I have this great life that she has to live up to, so I don't get it.

Lately I feel like she ditches me for better plans and when I confront her about it she tries to turn it around and starts yelling at me. It's like she doesn't have my back at all. She wants to hang out when she needs a ride somewhere, or something like that. She'll call me one of her "best friends" but doesn't treat me like it at all.

Part of me wants to cut her off, but I'll miss what we have and it would be awkward because we have a class together soon and were involved in some of the same things and have some of the same friends. I don't know what to do without causing an argument or mess. I'm just tired of self-centered people right now.

Thanks

I think you should just gradually cut things off with her. don't plan to do things with her.. and when she asks if you can hang out or do things, just say, oh i would, but i'm busy that night. You dont need to be mean to her. And you dont need to tell her why. you have already tried confronting her with it, and that didnt' work, so why keep trying? dont ignore her, but don't continually put yourself in bad situations either.

I know memories keep people tied to eachother firsthand.. and i know how tough it is. but it sounds liket his has been an ongoing thing, and that things aren't really going to change. By ending things with her, you aren't destroying the memories you have with her. You can make good memories with other friends you have, and after a while you will be happy with your decision.
i hope i helped.. :)

hey,
i have verizon wireless and my contract is up. and i am getting a new phone but im not sure which one to get.

i am stuck between the Voyager, the Dare, or the Versa. Does anyone have any of these phones and like them or not like them? please anything about any of these phones would be appreciated.

Also any suggestions of and phones i didnt mention would be nice to:)

I personally recommend the versa. it has way better customer ratings than the dare or voyager, though they all are great phones. my friend has a voyager and has had to replace it multiple times because she could only text, and couldn't call or recieve any calls. The Dare is a great phone, and yes the touch screen is nice, but it isn't as good as it seems. another friend of mine has this, and the qwerty keyboard on it is extremely small and very hard to txt on. Also, because this phone is all touch screen if you spend a lot of time out in the sun, you will have trouble using nad seeing your phone outside. Well i hope i helped!

I'm 21 years old, female, and hovering between 240 and 250 lbs. Size 16, if that helps... so it sits pretty okay on me, but I'm not happy with it.

I was always really fit in high school, always around 180 lbs of pure muscle (I actually hold a black belt in karate), and even after starting university I managed to avoid the freshman 15. However, I went through a very stressful time in my life, and ended up gaining about 70 lbs over the course of 2 years. In the past couple of summers, I have managed to lose 30 or 40 lbs with relative ease, but as soon as I'm back at home, I gain it all back.

This summer, I'm living in my own house, and my husband will be gone for 4 months (he's with the military). I'm thinking that this is a good time to really tackle my weight before it tackles me.

First off, I already do not eat junk food. My problem is too much healthy food if anything. I don't eat fried food and rarely eat sweets. My sweets, when I do eat them, are generally something like a slice of homemade banana bread, or a small piece of dark chocolate. I try to control my portions, but always end up hungry again. I drink nothing but water and the occasional diet, caffeine free soda. I get out for walks regularly, and ride a bicycle to and from work. I've just started up with seeing a trainer a few times a week, but that will only last about a month due to financial constraints. I have a gym membership, too.

The way I see it, I need to lose between 80 and 100 lbs. I'm not planning to do it in one summer, but I figure that while I am bored I will be able to take a good crack at it and get a start.

Any tips on how to lose it and keep it off? I feel like I'm doing the right things, but it never seems to work. It's like my metabolism is stuck.

Also, if anyone out there needs to lose a similar amount of weight, I would love to have a weight loss buddy. All my friends are in the 120-150 range, so they don't really have the same sort of weight loss goals as me.

Eating acai berries promotes weight loss. you can find them at health stores and they are completely natural. it sounds like if you stick to what you have said above that you will have results. good luck!

listen i know it's long but please out of the kindness of your hearts read me and help! i rate high for well thought out advice and i seriously one confused 15-year-old individual!

I'm met him in detention......

when i walked in the room it was like time moved a little slower, just like the movies.he was so beautiful and i couldn't help but stare. he was wearing black, his favorite color, like he always does.
I felt an immediate connection with him. Every time our eyes met in the dead silence it was like a shock of electricity.
he's a freshman I'm a freshman, but of corse, we have no classes together because thats how REALITY works. so when we got to leave i let it go knowing nothing would ever happen.


All i could do was think about him and wonder. You'd think for people in the same class in the same school we'd see each other. A couple of weeks later... i saw him. he was with my friend lisa and she introduced us. He said, " Hey! remember me? from detention?" of corse i did he asked for m number and later that friday evening he texted me we talked until about 11:00 at night.... then he called me. We talked for 7 hours till 6 in the morning. i didn't get any sleep at all but i never felt more rested. i've never loved any body, until that saturday morning i knew i loved him. we talked about everything but usually when im on the Phone with guy all he talks about is sex and i hate that thats why there short conversations.
He was different and thats what i love about him.

we just texted everyday from then on he asked me to go to the movie of my choice and would pay for it as long a went with him he was happy he said. i was pretty sure he liked me back at that point. the day of the movie he wasn't texting back, i got mad at him ignored him a couple of days, i still didn't see him at school so it was pretty easy. but i gave in he told me that his phone was done and he just coudn't i belived him i didn't we didn't have any other way to contact each other besides cells i didn't think to ask! well then shortly after our little reunion my dad took my phone away so we stopped talking un willingly, and i STILL didn't see him in school so what could i do? about 3 weeks after we stopped talking i see him and he's holding hands with a girl. I couldn't believe it then thats how i would see him with his girlfriend.
WELL, i did see him in school sometimes and he would walk me to class even though his class is on the other side of the school but then i just couldn't talk to him after the movie/cell phone thing it was kinda awkward so i didn't know what to say when he came up to me and i'd be like hi, yea, no, bye.
i accepted he had a girlfriend, i liked him to much to try and take away his happiness. they are still going out to this day.

WELL my friend ariel whos friends with him asked him if he ever liked me and he answered yea i did!!!! OMG! i got so mad he did like me and now i can't have him....or maybe i can
well now just recently he got his phone again but since we don't talk it's not like i can ask for it or anything and idk if it would be weird i know he wouldn't think its weird but if i asked my friend for his number this is how i know this information! and anyways i've been skipping my 2nd period on A-days to go see him in his study hall but he never goes to school but tomarrow im pretty sure hes gonna be there should i try talking to him in there for the first tie in months??? or what please help!!! LO(i'm)VE

I think you should txt him and just see where it goes from there. he might still like you and is just assuming that you dont like him. You really have nothing to lose. if he doesn't like you you are the same as you are right now, without him. if he does, then things will probably get better between you! So it really can only get better.

my bf is nice, i wont deny that. he may be crude sometimes but hes a nice boy. problem is hes not that sweet. he doesn't do things that you wanna go awww. not that hes boring or anything, hes just not cute either. hes funny and stuff but i guess im such a girl that i fall for the stupid little things like being called princess and sent cute messages etc. i feel like this is keeping me from falling in love with him. its a bit shallow i guess but those things are what make me fall in love. but of course i dont want to tell him this, I dont want him to be sweet if its forced and he feels like he has to. so my question is how can i indirectly influence him be sweeter, or more romantic?
i know some of you will want to say that maybe that's just not him, and i shouldn't change him because i cant, but you know what, this same thing happened to my friend and her bf. he wasnt the type to be sweet, but then i have no clue what she did and now hes like the cutest guy ever and romantic and all, even tho its not in his personality at all. So i see that it IS possible...how do i do it?
thanks in advance! =)

You could always do little sweet things to him. He will like it (hopefully) and return the favor. How long have you been dating? he may just not be warmed up to you all the way yet. And when your boyfriend does do things you really like, make sure he knows you like it. if he doesnt he may just feel stupid and stop doing it.
ok i hope i helpedd!

does anyone have any good waitressing advice on what to do to make good tips? thanks so much

Just make sure that the tables you are waiting on are always happy, and that glasses are always full. Know the menus in case of any questions about meals and things like that. Just be extra friendly, and making jokes (that are appropriate and funny) always makes them feel welcome. If youare having a bad day, don't let your customeers know that! When dealing with rude customers, make it a game to be as nice as possible, and say things they cant really fight back to.
Overall, just use your head and be nice! :) hope i helped.

i really love the name laken, aiden, brayden and braylen.. out of these boys name witch do you like best.. and does anyone no diffrent spelling for these names.. most importantly laken .. people say if i change the spelling it turns into a girls name?

and any other cute baby boy names you can think of!

I like the names braiden and aiden the best out of those, and i know a girl named laiken, so i'm guessing that's what people are talking about. If you are unsure about laken, i wouldn't use it. But otherwise yea i really like aiden and braiden!

I’m Katy…
Okayyy…so there’s this guy
And I’ve been talking to him..and were friends
And I flirt with him sometimes b/c he’s cute
Well I’ve know him for a good 4 weeks about
And my friend came over one day
Well I was on aim talking to him and everything was good
Till I went to the bathroom
While I was gone
She was talking to him and asking questions
Like what’s your last name…how tall are you
Then she goes are you single?
Then he’s like that’s a lil informal is’nt it
Then she’s like I was just wonderin
Then he’s like yes I am….are you lookin??
Then she’s like oh you know katy is too
And he’s like oo I did’nt know that
(but the way he wrote it i'm not sure if it's like an awkward reply..or if he's intrested)
Then she’s like well know you do
Then he’s like won’t she be mad that you said that
And she’s like yea but don’t tell her
Well I came back and found out
I mad at her for doing that
B/c I’m not fully sure if I like him
But idk what to do
Like I think he’s gonna think I’m weird now…and it’s gonna be awkward but idk
And the next day I sent him a message saying don’t pay attention to her…she doesn’t know what she’s doing
He never replied
So now I’m freaking out and don’t know what to do…

Okay i wouldn't be mad at her.... she was just trying to help and it's not that big of a deal. If you need to just send him an email saying that was totally my friend, and idk how i really feel about you, she was just pushing things. and tell him you odn't want it to be awkward and stuff. or whenever you talk just act like it never happened and do the same stuff. I seriously don't think he thinks its htat big of a deal, he is probably just busy or didn't want to talkto you at the time because of her. It will blow over, something like this should definitely not ruin your chances with a guy,, all she did was ask if he is single then say that you are too. Just give her a break is my advice and try talking to him again. but if he doesn't answer don't overwhelm him.

hope i helped

Ok my boyfriend and I keep arguing because HE keeps messing up. It feels like I'm the bad person because I'm always getting mad at him. So I tried to keep it in one time because it felt like I was nagging & he found out and told me to always tell him when I'm mad at him. So I do! He messes like every other day & he's said he's not used to having a gf. Well, common sense should tell him certain things he does.
But when he doesn't mess up we're perfect for each other! We laugh & talk & everything! Its greeeat!
I don't know what to do. We've been together a month and I don't know if its a time issue and I have to let him get used to me or what? I'm tired of hearing him say "I'm sorry" all the time. But I love being with him when we're not arguing about his mistakes!

he sounds like he isn't the one for you. if he really cared he would stop. He obviously isn't sorry, and like you said the stuff he is doing is common sense. You need to let him know you are not a door mat, and that he needs to treat his girl friends better. My advice to you is break up!!

I have been babysitting for my step mom's home daycaring service for 2 summers now. A couple of weeks ago I told her that I would work for her. Last week an offer came to my doorstep, someone my sister works for neeeded a baysitter. My step mom gives me $12 and day while the other #30 - $40 a day. I am going to high school next year and I am planning to save my money for college. I told my step mom that I can work for her the days that I am off and she got upset. My dad said that I should have stuck with my step mom... but this isn't all for me... this is for my furture of dreaming to go to vet college and become a vet... Now my dad wants to talk to me... what should I do???

Maybe you could work something out with your step mom, like working at her daycare after you are off. Or just try explaining to her that you need to start saving money for college. If you really needed to, you could print out things on the internet that are average costs of vet school and stuff, and tell her how you plan to pay for it, and how it would be a lot easier with the other job's pay. Act sympathetic, because really, you should technically stick with your step mom because you took that job first. But maybe you could compromise with her or something. If you cannot talk to her about this issue without a fight breaking out or her interrupting you, just write her a letter or an email.

hope i helpeddd... leave a message if you need!!

i have been with my boyfriend for 7 months now... my mom doesnt like him. why? because a couple months ago, he got jelous and i didnt know he'd seen me walking with a FRIEND and he didnt know, my mom caught him outside and while she was talking to both me and him, he walked out. disrespectful yes...but he wants to apologize but she doesnt want ANYTHING to do with him... i love him.. yes... me and him have been through alot of things... and i understand my mom feels disrespected... but i cant keep letting her control me.. i want to learn on my own.. and i want to live a normal free teen life... of course with precautions.. i left him when my mom told me to, but it felt wrong and now im happier than ever but my mom hates me for being with him and INSISTS i should leave him and that she means shit to me since im going out with him. what should i do? ive tried talking to her calmly but she has listening problems she hates to listen...

I suggest having him write an email or letter to her, explaining that he is incredibly sorry and how he has learned from his mistake and it will never happen again. have him tell her that he treats you with only respect and nothing else and how much you both care fro eachother. Have him be extremely polite whenver she is around, and try to talk to her again. Ask her what she would do if she was in yoour situation. Explain to her that what she saw isn't the real him. Also, explain to her why he did it.

hope i helped>> :)

i refuse to go tanning in a sun bed because i don't want skin cancer but i'm embarressed to go outside and tan because i'm really pale so i've been trying tan in a bottle stuff. All of the stuff i've tried has glitter or sparkly stuff in it. Has anyone used a non-scented, not glittery tanning product that seemed to work? if so can you please tell me what its called/where to get it?

I have the same exact problem, and i use Jergens Natural Glow. It has no glitter or scent, and actually looks natural. i have a few peices of advice for using it though--
-when you rub the lotion on legs, skip over knees and use only what is left on them. This will prevent all the little streaks that you normally get using tan lotion.
-do the same as above on elbows
- always wash hands thouroughly after using it!!!

Hope i helped. Jergens natural glow can be used in different skin tones and is found at Walmart, target, etc. for about 7 dollars.

having just graduated high school, i'm going through the process of writing thank-you notes to all those who sent cards, money, or gifts to me. my boyfriend's parents' note is giving me grief though! they got me a very cute snow globe with glitter and a frame inside, and it was engraved with "congratulations (my name)". it looks a little pricey, AND they wrote me a check for $25. they are very sweet to me and make me feel like i'm welcome in their home, but of course, there are times when i feel like they try to push us apart. either way, i need help as to what to write on their thank-you note!

I woud say something like this:

Thank you so much for the card and gifts for graduation! I really appreciate all the support you give to me and *your boyfriends name*. You guys are really great! thank you so much.

something, like that. Even though you say they sometimes try to push you apart, I think this would fit great.

Hope i helped!! =]

This girl I sit with at school has a boyfriend who i am also very close to. It really annoys me because whenever I am talking to her or anything and her boyfriend comes along he comes up to her and he is all over her. She's a bit shyer and doesnt really do anything but i just find it really gross and mostly uncomfortable that I have to stand there until they are finished. Not a cool look. Its really uncomfortable for me and I could never evr ever tell them that i feel uncomfortable, neither of them would talk to me again.
So telling them isnt really an option because I dont have anyone else to hang out with and i have no where else to go.

What should I do?
Just put up with it??

Anytime they start doing that act like you have something else to do, or go. Just be like ok catch ya later, or ok i will talk to you later then! or something. If she really wants to talk she will follow you, but if her and her boyfriend are all wrapped up in eachtoher don't count on it. After a while she will probably get the message, but if not just continue doing it. remember that you guys will proabably be friends longer than they will go out.
You might also ask her to hang out on weekends or something when you know he won't be around. That way you guys can have time together without them hanging on eachother.

im dating a jerk, but ive known another guy in my school for about forever now, and i think i am starting to like him. i told him last night that i think i rlly do like him. because we always joke around about liking each other. things arent weird today in school.. but im still clueless on if i should follow through. lets call him jay he is a senior at my school, he is friendly, cute, jokester, amazingly funny, and the sweetest guy you could ever meet. But the catch is.. him and my best friend Bree were together a while ago they werent dating but they kissed and stuff. i dont think she would be mad at me yet im not so sure.. any advice would be lovellyyy

okay... first thing, if you are dating a jerk, say good bye. Do that before anything else. If you aren't happy that's a great reason, but you dont want it to get around that you are a cheater either. After you have broken up with your boyfriend, I would let that guy know and also let him know that you are interested in him a little more. Talk to your friend, and see if she is over him and would be ok if you guys started liking eachother and dating. If she wouldn't be ok with it, i guess you are going to have to decide your decision after that. If she is a good friend and it was longer than a month ago, she should be okay with it.
I hope i helped!! :)

I am from Canada, i was wondering if you can help me with make-up and hair style tips, because i want a different style. i am getting tired of the one that i have right now. please help. what do you think i should do?

I cant really answer your question because i don't know what you look like! but here are some tips for everyone--
blue eyes- look great with blue eyeshadow or brown eyeshadow
brown eyes-look great with blue or green eyeshadow
green eyes-look great with green or purple eyeshadow
hazels- browns, greens and blues

I would just suggest on the style part that you just go shopping. I dont know what kiind of clothes you like, and you have to make your clothes you. to fit your style. just look around--look for clothes that you really like.

Hair style tips--
i would just suggest going to your salon stylist, and asking what would be good for your face shape in terms of color and cut!
Hope i helped--if you need any more advice-- feel free to ask!!
