Okay so I liked my friend Nick all last summer and parts of this year. We had stopped talking whenever I didn't like him, but the other day I was like I miss you we haven't talked in forever and hes like yeah are you going to my baseball game tomorrow? and I told him I would, so I went and it was delayed when I got there, and I was about to leave but he saw me and he goes HEYY MELISSA!!! so I decided to stay because they started playing, and he got a run so I texted him and was like
me: goodjob nick(:
and then it got delayed again, so I left, but the game got cancelled so he answered me
nick: ha no I did really bad pitching
me: no you did a good job, and I say your good so thats all that matters :]
nick: yeah whatever :]
me: did you hear me scream?
nick: no why did you scream?
me: because my hair was so messed up from the rain
nick: oh ha I didn't get a good look at you
me: oh be lucky you didn't
nick: why do you say that
me: nick you've never thought I was pretty.
nick: naww, I think your cute.. deece ha.

And that is a plus because he never thought I was cute he would always just say deece, and he isn't the type that will say that to make you feel better about yourself or anything.

So anyways, I went to this dance and he was there and he came over and was making fun of me because of how short I am, then he had a lollipop in his mouth and I told him I wanted it so I took it and he didn't care at first but I didn't put it in my mouth because I had gum, so then he started fighting me for it and I gave it back and he was like WHORE YOU DUMP MY FRIEND IN A DAY! and I was like Nick I didn't like him you know that.. You knew I liked you and he walked away and then Get Low came on and I was dancing and he said I dance crazy ha and he called me a whore again so I slapped him. Then whenever I would look at him he would come over, and my friend Taylor started grabbing his butt and balls and she tried to steal his lollipop too but he didn't let her take it, and then he told me she was pissing me off and to slap her but I wouldn't. Then a slow song came on and he said I NEED SOMEONE TO DANCE WITH! And his friend Ben was like I WILL! so they did jokingly, and then I had to leave so I gave him a hug, and I started to walk away and he goes have you ever wanted to be tall? and I said yeah so he picked me up and held me for awhile until my friends were finally like awl mel we have to leave, so we started to walk away and he came so I asked if he was leaving and he said No I'm saying bye to T and so we were waiting to get stuff and I stood by him and I was looking at him and he asked what I was looking at and I said nothing and laughed and walked away.

I was texting him when I came home and I was like
Sorry for slapping you tonight I feel really bad
Nick: no its okay I'm used to, that was a solid punch I'm proud of you :]
me: ha thanks I could have slapped you harder but I didnt want to hurt you or anything
he said something i forget ha but he made this smiley like (::)
me: what is that?
nick: a double back to back smiley
me: did you make that yourself?
nick: yes
me: ha goodjob wanna cookie?!
nick: yup i do!
me: haha cookies sound really good right now imma make us some, dudee tonight was fun sorta, I miss hanging out with you
Nick: okay? do you like me now?
me: do you like me?
Nick: yeah
me: no you don't
Nick: yeah I know sorry ha, but do you likey me
Me: i dunno I thought I did but it's just pointless because were just friends and I sort of like someone else but they are being gay
Nick: oh okay well i gotta go forreal my phone is flashing up low battery bye bye.

I haven't talked to him since and that was Thursday, I tried to text him but I did at like 2 in the morning so he was sleeping and then I did last night at like 10 PM, but he never answered. And today[July 1] is his birthday.. So I probably will text him and say Happy birthday but I'm not going to text him until Thursday because I don't want to get annoying. But what do you think I should do? And do you think I actually have a chance this time, because I think he likes me? Thanks!

I agree with the person below me. He's playing games with your head.

And I think its always better when the boys come to you, that way there's no chance of you getting rejected or hurt. Don't chase him. Caring too much isn't cute.

Hope I helped :)

I have some scarring on my cheeks from acne ahile back. It's just on one side of my face. A dermatologist isn't an option, but I need a cream or something to get rid of the scarring. Can someone reccomend a cream/whatever that would be at like every grocery store, or CVS, so I can just go out and buy it tomorrow.

I don't know any specific treatment you could use, but most likely if you look in the acne isle of the drug store they probably will be some scarring treatments. I believe I was in Eckerd a few days ago and saw a cream called "Scar-B-Gone" or something like that. But its just an estimate, I'm not positive, haha.

Im 15/f and i just had a really bad breakout on my face and i have my birthday party tomorrow and i need to get rid of this asap! Please give me tips! i have a little bit of acne treatment and ive been using that but i was wondering if theres something better or a homemade something?!?thanks!

It sometimes helps if you put a little toothpaste on your zit while your asleep, or you can go out to a drug store and get an acne treatment with perioxide in it. Both will dry up with your zit, just dont expect it to be completely gone in the morning.

Hope I helped!

Ok, no matter what i'm always the friend or the creep... somehow i'm always one or the other... i mean i give advice on relationships all the time and help other in real life. WHY CAN'T I HELP MYSELF?!?!

Please help me... This is my last hope

I agree with the person below me. In fact, I feel the same way sometimes. You can give brillant advice to others, but for some reason you cant seem to figure out what to do in your own situation. Its unfortunate, but it happens to the best of us. Next time you have a dilemma, maybe you should think of it this way, if you saw your kind of problem on advicenators.. what advice would you give that person?

Its deffinately not just you, so dont feel alone!

Ohk well a guy friend of mine and I always play this little game where we go back and forth asking questions. I want to get to know more about him now, and his past. So what are some good questions to ask. For example, I asked him how he likes his orange juice, and if he likes tuna. Lol, what are some other SUPER random things that might help me get to know him better? Pleasee, anthing? Thank yaaas. :]

Examples :

What was the most embarassing thing that ever happened to you?

How many siblings do you have/what are their names etc.?

What really scares you?

What kind of movies are you into?

What's your favorite fast food restaurant?

I hope I helped.

im 14m and i dont think i'll ever be albe to trust people. you see i've had crushes on girls and i think they like me because they flirt with me but when i ask them out they get all horrified and humiliate me
when ever my friends say a girl likes me and i ask her out the same thing always happens
and somtimes people just lie to me because they think that it's funny or somthing
one time i found a love note from one of my female friends but when i asked her out she didn't know what i was talking about and are friendship was totally over
and onetime this totally hot girl asked my out but i didn't trust her so it didn't work out
somtimes i dont know what to do because i wanna ask a girl out but i wont wanna take the chance of getting embarrised or hurt. and some times i just don't trust them because it's usually a joke.
will i ever learn to trust girls and could someone mabeye give me some advice or help so i can learn to trust people more.
sorry it was so long

I know your frightened that your history is going to repeat itself if this has happened so many times, but you can't let the past get in your way. It's actually quite simple, if you like a girl, ask her out. If she says no its not the end of the world, just shrug it off and move onto someone else. As for your friends, if they are that mean to repeatedly do that to you, it doesnt seem like they are very good friends at all. They dont deserve your trust, so just dont trust them! Go with your instinct. You might want to find some new friends, one that will treat you better.

Okay, I Absolutly LOVE music and i love singing and playing my sax.


I try to write songs, but when i do they are pretty lame i have no ideas.


Do you know anything i can do to get my feelings out, because its just not working, and i want a good song i can write.


ThAnKs sOoO MuCh

Like you, i LOVE writing songs and music. It's not easy.. and most of the time my lyrics sound like something that came out of an martians mouth, but I don't give up.

You see, sometimes things just come to you. I'd suggest trying to write songs when you have a lot of emotions. For example, if you're very upset, crying perhaps. Or maybe you just had a fight with your mom or someone died... its the time when your feelings are at full blast. If you're having a problem rhyming, you could always use a thesaurus. =)

hey just recently a guy i REALLY like asked me to be his girlfriend ( feb 5). I said yes and its hard for me to believe him when he says he loves me. i mean the whole reason why is because last year, i had my first boyfriend and he cheated on me, lied to me, and harrassed me. so now its hard to even trust my current boyfriend. i mean he shows that he does too by:
-calling me every night
-saying he loves me everyday
-writes me a poem(that he cant find...haha)
-always gives me a kiss when he sees me (going to class, after, before, ect)
-says he can see us still together after high school is over (which is a while because we are freshmans)

and a lot more..but i dont know why i cant bring myself to believe him. how can i fix this problem? have you had it before?

I've had this problem before. It's not going to be easy, but you're going to have to see the good in him. Try to make your heart believe he loves you, and when he does these little things that prove it, take it into deep thought.

I hope I helped.

ok.. i apologize ahead of time.. cause this will be long

People this involves:
Brandon - the guy i love
kayleigh - the girl brandon dumped me for... but now my best friend
rachel - girl who dumped brandon
alyssa - one of my best friends
kelly - another one of my best friends
theresa - 19-year-old baby sitter watching me and my brothers will my mom was in europe

ok...so i knda sorta love brandon. and it all started in the beginning of december when he asked me out, then 2 days later he dumped me. apparently the second he dumped me, he was on the fone with kayleigh.. who he asked out right then and there. then 2 weeks before christmas, my school had a christmas dance. brandon ended up going. and so kelly was sitting next to brandon and she said " you should date kristy(me)" and he said " i would but i cant" and kelly said "why not" and he said " i cant say". well eventually i found out about kayleigh. and right when brandon broke up with me he made this s/n and was pretending to be his cousin gina and asking me all this stuff about himself. and then after i fond out about kayleigh being his g/f he went on the s/n and was like "guess what.. brandon told me he wanted to dump his girlfriend and ask you out again" and i was like ok... then a week before christmas.. we went christmas carroling with some school thing called teens inc. and at the end we were about to hook up.. but then of course alyssa.. came over.. acting like a crack head.. and blew it for me. so after he left alyssa called him and was like how badly do you wanna hook up with kristy? and he was like really really bad. but he had a girlfriend. so then he dumped kayleigh and one night when i was at the movies with all my friends, he was on the fone with alyssa and i started talking to him.. then he's like put alyssa on put alyssa on, so i got really mad and i was like "w/e brandon, my boyfriend wants me" but i really didnt have a boyfriend. so alyssa took the phone and pretendec to be my "boyfriend" and he was like getting all defensive and crap and hung up. then he called back and left a message saying "i was gonna ask kristy out again but that was all so gay so nvm" and that was the second time i blew it.so then.. kayleigh comes in the picture. i was at a dance, and i met her. it turns out she was fighting with brandon.. i forget why though. so then kayleigh was like "are you kristy?!" and i was like " yeah.. are you kayleigh?!" and she was l.ike yea.. so she told me that brandon had called me an ugly shit.. and all this other stuff. then me and kayleigh became really close friends. so then my mom went away on a trip to europe and theresa was watching us. and like the second night she was watching us.. alyssa slept over, and we stayed up til 630. at 2 in the morning... theresa took us out to meet up with brandon, who snuck out of his house. but we were only with him for like 5 minutes.. then we left adn went to wawa. then as the weeks went by, along with the dances i started finding out more from kayleigh about him talking shit about me. then comes rachel. at a dance, i ended up meeting her, but it turns out i kinda already knew her, cause she was friends with a girl in my dance class, my step mom taught her in 6th grade, shes friends with alotta my friends etc.. anyway, so she went out with brandon but dumped him. and brandon still really likes her. but brandon is blaming me cause he thinks i said stuff to her about him to make her hate him but she just already hated him.. she didnt really need my help. so then tonight.. i was talking to kayleigh on the phone and we told eachother everyhthing that was said and done by him..and i found out all this shit he said about me and so kayleigh 3 wayed him in and i muted my phone. and then it became a fight and he started saying shit about me and he was like.. ill talk to kristy if she can get rachel to talk to me. and then later on in the conversation he was like " oh well kristy just ruins everything cause she became like best friends with rachel and blew it for me" so i got soo mad that i unmuted the fone and said " yah know what brandon, i didnt ruin anything for you, i didnt even know that that was her you were dating.. she didnt need my help to hate you" and we started fighting.. all 3 of us.. so then he hung up on us and kayleigh was like "yah know what.. im gonna have to call you back" and so i waited and waited till i finally called her and she told me he said that he was gonna ask me out again and give me a second chance but now he doesnt know what he was thinking cause he hates me and hever wants to talk to me

now i fell like i screwed everything up.. for the third time.. and we were finally just beginning to be friends again.. but then i just blew it and now i hate myself for it.. and im soo annoyed and mad at myself

i guess my questions for you are :
1. what do i do?!
2. how can i gain his acceptance for him
3. how can i stop loving him
4. how can i handle being friends with him


please please please help me!!

i swear.. i always rate 5's.. and for this situation.. whether its good advice or bad.. i will definately right 5's!

please help!!!

I seriously think you need to move on with this Brandon kid. Honestly, from the sounds of it, who knows if he even really wanted to go out with you? You need to stop think of yourself as "screwing up" because thats just going to make you feel worse about yourself. You don't need his acceptance to survive. If you really think you're in "love", leave him alone for a while, a few months later ask him if he just wants to be friends again. If he says no, then move on. He's not worth your time.

Stop trying to hook up. If he really liked you, he would be with you, trust me. And as for you to stop loving him, just give it some time, your feelings will eventually fade. In the meantime, go out and have some fun with your friends. Join a club. Do SOMETHING besides obsess over him.

Hope I helped && good luck!

My current boyfriend and I have been going out for about a month. Here's the problem: My boyfriend makes me think of my EX. He does not
remind me of my ex...at all. He just makes me think of my ex boyfriend...more than when I was single. And heres the weird part: I dumped my ex TWO YEARS AGO! I'm not sure if I like my boyfriend right now. He's seriously the sweetest boy ever and all the things I'd want in a guy but I just don't feel the inital attraction I've felt going into this relationship. I need help...opinions, advice, suggestions, anything

Its kind of funny, because the same thing happened to me around a month ago.

My suggestion is to stick with him, unless you find someone you are extremely attracted to. There's so litte love nowadays, and if you break it off with someone who loves you.. well, you may never find it again. Its like that quote, "You never realize what you have until its gone."

I think you should put some serious thought into this before you make any moves.

Okay... can anyone who has ever seen the movie "Serendipity" tell me what's going on during this scene when Sara says this quote..?

SARA: I've always believed in fate. I've always believed that life is more than a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. But rather, a tapestry of events that culminate into an exquisite plan. I mean, I just spent the entire flight staring into the sky thinking. Not about my fiance, but about this mystery guy I met a million and a half hours ago. A guy I don't even remember except for this vague picture inside my head. It's just a few seconds, a fragment really, and it's like, in that moment the whole universe existed just to bring us together. We spent only a few precious hours together and I never even gave him my last name or my phone number. Instead, I told him that if we were meant to be together, if fate meant for us to be together, we'd meet again someday. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm going to let fate take me anywhere it wants to go, because when all of this is over, atleast I'll never have to think of him ever again. Let's just pray he's a bald Fascist who picks his nose and wipes it under the car seat.

* I'll rate 5's to anyone who gives it a shot!!!! Thanks! *

I own that movie. Shes basicially saying that even though she loves her fiance, but she can't keep her mind off of Jon. She can't remember clearly what he looks like, but not knowing is driving her crazy and she wants fate to take its course.

at skool there is this boy that i knew a couple yrs ago we used to go to a hangout ova the summer and we always flirted with each other and be around each other and he even told me he wuz goin to the same skool as me the next yr. well he didnt and now 2 yrs later hes at my skool and i want to talk to him but he dont even remember but the semester passed by && my friend told him i like him so he keeps waitin fo me to go talk to him, but im nervous. so yesterday it wuz just me && two of my friends sittin at a table && that boy asks if he could sit in the seat that that wuz sort of next to me && he's there fo a sum time eatin his lunch && i wuz listenin to music && i couldnt say nothin then he left to talk to sum other chicks, i dont no what to do cuz i guess i dont like other ppl starin at me while im tryin to have a conversation w/ a guy i like, what do i do

Um, get his screename or phone number. That way no one will have to look at you while your confessing your feelings. Besides, its much easier if you're not looking him straight in the face. It could be a little less sincere though. But if you don't want to do it in person, thats a risk you need to take.

I get really shy when it comes to eating around people other than my famliy and my closest friends. If I'm at lunch and everyone else is eating I feel ok about eating in front of them, but If no one is eating I get nervous about eating when they aren't. So I just was invited to a friend's 16th birthday party and it is going to be at a hotel. Its a fancy dinner party really...and I'm nervous about eating with 50 other people around me. Its not that I'm worried about my weight or how I look, I just don't feel right eating when other people are around. What should I do at the party? Should I just not go? Or should I go and not eat if no one else is eating?

Please Help..I'll rate =]

Oh boy does everyone feel the way you do! Of course! You really shouldn't be so nervous and try to relax. I'm sure no one is going to be staring at you the whole time seeing what your doing. Try not to be so self - consisous. Remember : there are more than one person in the room who is concerned about their weight! One tip I could give you though, is that as far as manners go, you should never start eating until the hostess (or host) picks up his or her fork and starts eating themselves.

Hope I helped =)

Ok .. Ive really been wanting this answered but ive been shy.. ive been talking to this guy on the internet.. and @ first he was REALLY rude to me but i just kept playing with him.. funning around.. and well now.. hes liike ive never fallen inlove withanyone and he told me he fell in love with me.. and well we have this thing.. wen he doesnt want to tell me something.. we start a story type thing using "she" and "he" ex: "he hugs her and kisses her on the cheek" well .. ok he lives in alabama... and im really wanting to kno if u shud stop talking to him or not. and hes scared to show me his pictures because his parents beet him .. so he has scars... so i told him i didnt care.. and not hes really shy... well in the begging hes like NO ONE BREAKS MY LEVELS... and i was like wtf.. and he said the lower levels u r the better and so the first days i was on level 9 billion... now sumhow... it has been drasticly dropping.. and i was kinda jealous because he talks about this gilr names shadow an awful lot.. but i shudnt be.. ok just please help me !!! XD
Do i keep talking to him... what do i do? oh yeah .. ps IM 14....and a girl

You don't even know this kid. I think you should just leave him alone. It might seem mean, but if his parents beat him, he's probably massively messed up inside. Seriously, don't get involved.

Why does everyone on this site always assume that because a father is a teenager that they are automatically going to leave their child? I asked a question on here about a month ago and all the answers that I got relating to my baby and his father were that he is going to leave me and my son because he is a teenager and a deadbeat? Thank you

Well, of course not ALL fathers leave their girlfriends and children.

Because a guy is a teenager, it might seem that they might, because they are so young and aren't sure of what they really want, which isn't true in all cases, so people are just sterotyping.

If you are certain that your guy isn't going to leave you and your son, just ignore these comments. Try to not let them offend you.

Hi. i dont know what to do. I've asked the girl that i like to hang out on saturday night. Shew said yes but she would have to check and see. I asked her if she could do it and she said she has practice but doesnt kno what time i wanna ask her if she can do sumthin before or after but i dont want to be a pest. What should i do?

Don't ask her before or after. Girls like to be chased after, but if shes not interested in you she might find this annoying. Just ask her what time she can hang out if she can, if she says she doesn't know AGAIN, I wouldn't bother with her. If girls really like guys, they won't let anything get in their way to be with them.

Hope I helped.

2. No, toliet paper will not hurt you.
3. Sperm needs to be exposed to air for 48 hours before it dies.

Im 13 (female) So...there's this guy. ANd i REALLY like him...or at least i used to. Hes really cool and we're friends and stuff...see....i told him that i liked him...but it turns out that the same day...he had a friend fix him up with another girl......and so now he thinks that the only reason i talk to him is because i like him and he barely talks to me and....and I owuldnt mind just being friends with him, but hes being really mean to me...what should i do?

You should never put up with anyone's bullshit. Wait until he comes aroud, and if he doesn't then screw him, he's obviously missing out on something great. It might be hard, but when people treat you badly.. you're better off without them.

hey im 13 and a female. i was wondering are looks an important part in a relationship? all my friends say it is but i think its a lil shallow.

**sleepiesheep**

In a REAL relationship? No, looks shouldnt be important. Most boys your age though right now, are looking mainly at looks, because they are immature. It's more important to find someone who loves you for who you are rather than what you look like.

Hope I answered your question.

i need to lose 10 pounds! im 15, female, and i weigh 121. please dont tell me i need to lose it, i do for something important! what are some things i can do without pills or anything like that? thanks, i rate well. xo

There are many diets you can take up. South Beach...Weight Watchers.. Slim-Fast...Atkins. The less calories you eat per day, the more weight you'll lose. Its kind of funny but in science class I learned that for example if you eat 3,500 calories a day, you need to burn off 7,000 calories in order to loose ONE POUND. Running a mile will burn about 1,000 calories. Crazy isnt it? So, have less calories, and try to exercise a little. You'll loose weight the healthy way. And if that doesn't work.. theres always crash diets ex. loose 10 pounds in 3 days.
