me and my boyfriend will just get caught up in the moment and make out for a long time...i get so self conscious about what i look like cause my eyeliner and mascara like smudge...i think its because my eyes are closed..so my question is, is there any really good eyeliner that won't do this? (link)
liquid eyeliner, once it dries, will stay in place really well and won't get smudged unless you start vigorously rubbing at it.


In 2009 Libra is meant to find love or something.

But is Libra going to fall in love or are people going to fall in love with Libra?

Thanks (link)
Libra and Sagittarius attract because they're both free-spirited, independent, and drawn to learning. Likes attract likes, and the signs are evenly matched to give each other the distance they need for their own mental stability and challenge them in new ways.

That's not to say that Libra HAS to attract Sagittarius, it's just a good match.

Leo and Taurus both represent extreme loyalty and virtue, but then they can have rather clingy personalities.

Scorpio can be very emotional, which often attracts Aquarius, which can be eccentric and almost hyper-active. However, Scorpio and Cancer attract because while Scorpio is emotional and somewhat needy, Cancer is very nurturing and gets a sense of accomplishment from tending to Scorpio. Aries and Aquarius attract because they're both very kinetic.

Pisces and Gemini are similar in that they're both caught up in their own imaginations, often very creative and fun to be around, but also kinda off in their own world and have a difficult time relating to other people. This makes them kinda mysterious in a way.

Virgo and Capricorn are very goal-oriented and logically minded. They tend to be good financial planners and good at business and management, which is why they tend to attract more abstract thinkers like Pisces and Gemini.


what are some meaningful songs [alternative i guess] that are about people in a relationship, and the one has lost interest, but the other still loves the person? (link)

me and my boyfriend have been dating 6 and a half months and i want to do something romantic for him for no reason . any ideas? (link)
home-made cards are always really sweet; show that you put some time and thought into it and wanted to give him something nice.

also, cookies work really well. it's hard to do them wrong and guys will eat just about anything. you can put them in a pretty box and be like SURPRISE and chances are 1 to 1 he'll love it. ^_^


So on our anniversary, my boyfriend suggested we go a little bit further and get like naked and stuff. Not have sex though. I'm fine with that but I am really self conscious of my...downstairs. The...thing in the middle is larger than average. There's kind of an innie and an outtie for a vagina, not just for a belly button. I'm definatly an outtie. But anyway, do guys really find that attractive no matter what? I'm so scared of how awkward it will be ( I think )
And my butt has these red bumps on them. It's a skin condition I have on my arms too. And it's gross, I don't want him to see it. He says nothing could be gross about me. He loves the smell of my vagina and everything. But ahh I'm just nervous.

Can some boys give me their opinion of what grosses them out?
Or someone please tell me it isn't awkward with someone you love. It's our one year anniversary by the way. And tips? ANYTHING?

And besides sexual presents, i'm getting a book made of us that I wrote. But that isn't enough because he's doing a ton for me. I want to do something for him. Not like cooking for him so don't say that. Any ideas?? I was thinking promise rings, scavenger hunt to a picnic? Hmm... (link)
do you guys have a "your song"?
on my anniversary i wrote the lyrics to our song on a little glass jar and filled the glass jar with his favorite type of candy.
another thing that's always sweet is a hand-made card; shows him you put some time and thought into it.

about your skin condition: sounds like ketosis pilaris. it's super common; almost everyone has some form of it somewhere. try using a loofah and some acne-treating body wash when you shower; exfoliating over that area will not only make your skin really soft, but it will totally lessen the appearance of the little red bumps.

often how you percieve yourself is COMPLETELY different from how others see you. the sexiest thing about a person is confidence, without a doubt.

as long as your downstairs is clean and well-kept, you shouldn't feel self-conscious. if you don't say anything about it, chances are he probably won't even notice. lots of guys find them SUPER attractive, actually.

you've been going out a year; if he was dating you just to get in your pants, he's either really stubborn and tenacious or he would have given up by now and gone after some really loose slutty chick. i'm thinking he actually likes you for who you are. but i do agree with what was said prior; if you honestly don't want to, you should tell him. maybe you need to wait a few more dates before you feel comfortable enough for that. you guys are far enough into your relationship for communication to be that much more important. he won't know how you feel if you don't tell him.



hi from 17 yrs old i started masterbution now i m 27 yrs guy next month is my marriage but now a day i feel that my penis is not awaking it is loose & fell sperm in a min. please help me out (link)
i agree with the person below me, i highly highly doubt masturbation is the cause of your problem, it's totally normal and actually healthy for men to take part in. i would see a doctor and get a prostate exam, also taking a multivitamin every morning wouldn't hurt. there are special kinds for men that aid with gland health.

good luck to you.


ok yesterday me and my freind met a couple of girls at our skatepark we go to alot, now then... its pretty obvious my mate fancies one of them and i dont mind but the thing is were both 16 and theyre both 12 and i am pretty concious about age but the one my freind fancies is also my type as well how do i stop myself liking her because i can see this happening quite easily i normally dont go for people i just met i like to get to know them over about a year. but yeh any tips would be muchly greatly awesomely appriciated. (link)
they're 12... they probably don't even have boobs yet.
you're at a wayyyyyyy different place mentally than they are.
just don't do it.
that's super gross.


I feel completely stupid for saying this, but I cant stand myself. I mean I hate the way I look. I hate like everything about me. Well okay not everything, because I love the way I think like i know i'm intelligant and stuff but I litteraly hate myself. I dont feel like I have any true friends and I hate myself more for saying that because I have a best friends that I can tell mostly everything except this kind of stuff. (This is probably really confusing)I feel like my inteeligance is the only thing that I have to live for. I know that probably sounds stupid too. I'm just so confused right now and and hurt and it sounds pathetic but like no one cares about me and like i have no control over my life cause everytime i try to make my self a little more at the very least likable i cant seem to do it. I think about just ending things alot like just giving up on everything or something but i feel like i'm meant for something. I dont know i'm so confused right now. I just dont know. (link)
*internet hug*
take a deep breath.

stop.

take a step back and look at yourself.
you're human.
so is everyone else.
the only thing that seperates us from eachother is our attitude and our perception.
"cool" is not a look or a gene. it's an aura.
the world is not small. life is not short.
there is so much out there to see and do and acieve: there are so many people who don't know your name or what your deal is.

here's a trick i learned when writing college essays: you have to explain who you are and why you're special, different from the rest, in as few words as possible. you have to know yourself. first impressions are lasting and they're made fast, and you're the one in control of that.

put yourself out there.

no one will be okay with who you are unless you are confident in yourself.

you are an individual: it doesn't matter how cliche that sounds or how many times you've heard it before: it's true. there is no one else in the universe just like you. you're special. you've got something to offer. but no one will ever know it unless you get some backbone and explain yourself.

why should anyone care about you? you're the only one who can answer that. good friends and acceptance don't fall out of the sky out of pity.

you're better than this. now pick yourself up and go do something rather than moping around in a depressing stupor of solitude.


Okay I am so big. I weigh 186 pounds! But I'm tall so that helps. But the doctor says I should weight 145. What do I do. I am going to 4-h camp in ONE month does anyone know what I can do to lose my stomach and leg fat? (link)
Start easy by fixing your diet: cut down on sweets, salts, and packadged foods: you don't have to do away with them entirely, but try to eat as natural as possible.
You should try to stick to 2000 calories a day.
Make sure you're getting healthy excersise. Don't go overboard, start small: try to walk 1 mile a day, and do 30 crunches before bed.
30 crunches per day for a month has been proven to firm your stomach.
Try wearing ankle-weights all the time, just walking around. They're small and can easily be covered by long pants.
Try taking a yoga class: the stretching makes you feel good and warms up your muscles to burn more fat.
Good luck!


i like a beautiful person whom i have never actually met. he is intellectual, independent, has great style, and from what i hear he may never have even had a girlfriend. but something about the way he thinks about life intrigues me ever so much. i spoke to his good friend who told me that he is somewhat withdrawn at times and although many cute girls like him, he wont just settle for a pretty face, he wants something more.
and i am the same way as this guy. i like to be me, and dont like to feel smothered, i like to read books and listen to music and find some meaning to life. but my best friend is convinced that he is her soul mate although they have never met. hes like the perfect guy for her appearance wise and she likes the way his personality is. she does not know that i like him, because i dont want this to turn into some kind of friend competition. well the point is i have to talk to this guy and get to know him and then introduce them, lol. i dont really mind, i mean i want her to have him because i dont need a boyfriend but she really likes him a lot. i see him at a certain time of day. how do i introduce myself? do i just say hey whats up? haha. thanx =]
(link)
have his good friend introduce you two sometime on a semi-group outing, like go see a new exhibit at some museum and you three can just hang out and talk a little. trade phone numbers or e-mail addresses and hang out again in a small group like that.

...or tell your friend to do that, she seems like she's crushing pretty badly.


my flat iron keeps randomly turning on and off.
i have a babyliss pro 1 inch flat iron, not the best thing in the world [it was about $60]. it does have a swivel cord, and i'm wondering if maybe that's the problem?
is it fixable or should i just buy a better flat iron?
and if i should buy another flat iron, can you recommend any? i've heard chi actually isn't the greatest. it usually takes me about 10-15 minutes to straighten my hair with my flat iron at 450 degrees. so i guess i have thick hair.
thank you :] (link)
I got a conair flat iron for 16$. i don't remember the exact name, it's black, has a straight cord, turbo setting, and temp settings from 1-25.
it has worked faithfully and well for three years now.
best purchase ever.


Hey pyromantix.
why do guys get so turned on by tell him i want you to finger me?
seriously some times i just have my moments where i wanna be played wiht and well its like he (my guy) goes all happy. well i told him that it made me happy that he wasnt a virgen and he was like oh thats great surriusly he gets alll happy and exited. what else makes guys excited bc i wanna have "fun" with this boy. lol he makes me feel like he wants is me. lol sorry for the mussy gusy stuff (link)
every guy is different, they all have their own list of things that really turn them on. i guess your boyfriend really likes it when you talk dirty to him, so play that up if you can and if you feel comfortable with it.
if he gets excited when you're "in the mood," then yeah, i'm pretty sure it's a safe bet that he wants you. obviously you both care about eachother.
i can't tell you what makes your boy really excited, but i'm willing to bet that, from how you've described him, he'd probably get excited if you asked him to tell you. he knows better than anyone.


Recently I have seemed to be quite unwell..Im experiencing allsorts of different pains that seem to vary everyday.

What triggered me to type this was about 2 minutes ago, I suddenly went dizzy, and straight after, I got an excruciating stomach pain, and recently I have been feeling not sick..but like somethings in my throat just after Ive eaten, and when I swallow it doesnt feel quite right.

I am always getting headaches, and Im not pregnant, I really cant think of anything thats causing these pains and dizziness? Any help would be appreciated. (link)
have you hit your head recently? or fallen down or done anything physically laboring?
what you're describing might be symptoms of a concussion.

or, you might have mono, if you're feeling tired, in a fog, have stomach cramps, can't focus.

either way, i agree with the person below this; you absolutely have to tell a doctor in case there's something wrong with your electrolyte levels.


There is ABSOLUTELY nothing I can do with my hair it seems. I hate spending a lot of time in the morning on it but I don't know what to do with it. It's thing, naturally straight, and therefore breaks wicked easy. There's layers in it, but you can barely tell since it's so thin. Does anybody have any suggestions? (link)
try using a moisturizing shampoo; that will make it stronger and easier to work with.

before you go to sleep, wash your hair and don't blow dry it and try putting it in a bunch of little, loose braids.

when you wake up in the morning, it'll have a really cute, crimpy, wavy look. but be careful, you might get a lot of frizz; bedhead control freak frizz control is the best thing for that.


im really not sexually active but what is it like to be wet cause i dont know if i do or not. or when your suppose to cum or how it feels. i've been to third before but i never came so i dont know whats wrong withh mee (link)
feeling wet is just when you feel really turned on.
they call it feeling wet because your vagina starts leaking mucus when that happens (gross, i know).
you feel like you have butterflies in your stomach and your whole pelvis kinda tingles a little, it's hard to describe.
don't worry about not cumming, it won't happen ever time you have sex or even get to third. there's nothing wrong with you.

I have fallen extremely hard for this guy. And my friend did too. I now realize it isn't going to work out between him and me, and he really isn't that great of a person anyway. The problem is, I just can't seem to get over him. I still think about him non-stop, and I always end up feeling miserable because I know I can't have him. I really just want this to end. So how do I get over him?

Also, I'd really like to find someone new, but I don't even know when to begin even more. Can I have some ideas on how to do that? And something other than join a club please, because I plan on doing that already. (link)
oh boy do i ever know how that feels.
when i was 14 i fell head over heels for a guy on the opposite end of the county. we'd been friends for almost a year and talked everyday, so life without him seemed impossible.

while it's definetely not what you want to hear right now, time does heal everything.
it's been about two years and now i'm perfectly fine without him, but back when he stopped talking to me, i thought my world was falling apart.

one thing that really helped me, though it's kinda dorky, is writing a series of haikus based on how i felt. i got addicted to them, i wrote them everywhere. but it truly did make me feel better.

as far as meeting someone new, joining a school club is a dumb idea. i've never met anyone interesting through clubs.
maybe one thing you can do is tell a bunch of people to invite their friends to a certain party, people you haven't met and don't know. obviously if your friends think they're cool, you're bound to have something in common.

beyond that, all the advice i have is don't be shy; put yourself out there. sit next to a cute guy at a highschool football game and strike up conversation. asking people what time it is is a really good way to break the ice.

good luck, i hope everything works out!


My boyfriend talks to like 3298493287 girls on myspace, I sent him a comment the other day saying " Hey baby, call me later. " & I looked at his comments & I see all the other girls comments & not mine, like he deleted it.

What should I do? (link)
a lot of girls in this situation would get extremely over-dramatic and yell a lot and get into a huge argument with their boyfriend.

you have every right to, but i don't think that would solve your problem, and clearly you have one. your boy isn't respecting you as a person.

you need to get him in a private place where he won't have any distractions and just ask him calmly why he didn't call, like you aren't that concerned. he'll answer, then tell him you noticed that he deleted the comment.

the thing you have to stress to him most is that you aren't mad (though maybe you are), you're just confused about where you two stand.

tell him that you've been feeling really distant, then ask him how he feels about the situation.

you can't get very over-protective of guys, espiecially when they're in middle and high school. their priorities aren't in the right place, and naturally it's not going to last forever.

just make it clear to him that you're not going to be strung along with the title of "girlfriend" if it doesn't mean anything. if he shows no signs of acknowldging your feelings, then you guys should probably seriously consider breaking up.


Ok, So I downloaded Lime Wire!Result!But everytime i try to search a song it says "lime wire is currently connected to the network.you may not return many results until you are fully connected with the network" and I dont know why!
- i downloaded it perfectly
- internet connection is perfect
- it has downloaded....fully

What could be wrong? how can i fix it

(link)
i'm kinda begging you from the bottom of my heart, PLEASE DO NOT USE LIMEWIRE.
the artists you love so much don't get any profit when you steal their songs like that.
i only buy cd's and records and casettes and three of my favorite independent record stores are and have closed within the past 2 years.
it's because no one buys real music anymore.
you could change that: please don't download music.


Okay so me and the boy have been going out for a year now and ive never let him do anything to me until recently. Sure, I've done stuff for him, lots. Either way like I said, basically hes done the two main things you can do to a girl without going the full way, and I got so worried. Because I thought, what on earth could possibly be pleasant about doing something like that?! I worried about it for days, thinking he'd been like ewwwwwwww for days afterwards. Thing is, he always seems keen and I want to know why?

Boys, do you find doing those things to girls in any way attractive or are they just things you do to keep the girl happy?

If you do like to, how much?! And Why on earth?!

Also. Another bit of advice. I always feel wierd about telling my boyfriend I've enjoyed something he's done. For all my life I've been clever, and everyone knows that. They know, and most of my friends and his friends think that I'd never do the things I have done with him. Sure, I'm popular, but I'm innocent too, in the eyes of most people. It feels wierd admitting to pleasure to him, 'cause I figure he mights be creeped out - I don't know why.

Do guys like it when you admit to pleasure??

This all sounds really naive. But I'd love it if you could help me out :)

Thankyou very much :)

my boyfriend likes it because he likes my reaction.
i told him he never has to do it if he doesn't like to, but he swears it's fine.
mostly he just does it because i've gone down on him and it's only fair.

i didn't understand it either, i didn't even want him to do it at first, but he was really eager so i was like, what the hell, knock yourself out.

guys (generally speaking, obviously i'm not an expert) like it when you show gratitude for something they've done. it makes them feel good and makes them want to pleasure you more. there's never anything wrong with saying thank you :]


how can you make your jeans look old but still wearable? (link)
sprinkle them with bleach or paint (in a bathroom or some place with things that wont stain. wear old clothes and use a tarp or newspaper), and use a steak knife or any knife with a serated edge to give them a distressed look.
