ok so like i said, I reallllllyyyy like this guy, but so does my friend, she knows i like him and she doesnt care. She says i deserve him more than she does but she acts so normal around him, she really knows how to flirt and she is pretty. i think he might start to be liking her, even though she said she would turn him down 4 me, im worried that he will like her more. How can i flirt? like i always get shy around him and his friend but his friend told me he liked me alot b4, so he could still. He knows i like him i think. also, my friends, everytime im around him with them they go, "___ we all know you like ____!!!" to me right in front of him, as a joke but i always dont know if i should play along with it or deny it... What can i do to make him like me more? Thankzzzzz!! as many answers as possible-that would ROCK!!!! thanksssss (link)
Hey he liked you and he probably likes you still, and your friends tease you so even he knows you like him. So stop thinking and spend time with him alone, give him hints that you like him or better just ask him out for a movie or some place else. Good luck!


haven't been broken up too long ,but i would like to rekindle our relationship. We still talk and stuff,like i have to talk to him in class everyday and we hangout sometimes,but would i have a better chance of him coming back to me if i don't talk to him or hangout with him or if i do a little of both? (not to much!) (link)
Are you sure you want to get back together? Why have you guys broken up in the first place? If you know the reason and if you think it won't happen again, if you guys have cleared it out then you can try again. BUT you should first know if he is interested too. Since you guys talk and hang out still, you would know the answer by his behavior, the way he is with you, the way he talks to you, treats you. If he acts like he does with any other friend then may be he doesn't want to get together again. You want to give him time to think then all you can do is talk, hang out and be a good friend. May be he'll understand what he's missing and come back. Good luck!


whenever i try to download the sims 2 castaway stories it says that windows hasn't approved of something. how do i get windows to do whatever test they need to do so i can download it? (link)
Hey, in the error msg you can see a more info button , it would say something like what you wanna install is invalid. Just press ok this should install your game successfully and you should get a msg saying that. You have upgraded your DirectX rt? hope this helps!


Hi, im 15/f and i live in new york. im starting to feel like im unemployable. I have applied to around 20/30 stores/shops/restaurants/malls/kids party places in the past 2 years and every time they tell me im sorry, but were not hiring anymore. and then a week later i see someone new working there. Just last week i applied to a pizza place and they said theyd call me. a girl in my grade whos YOUNGER than me with no experience got hired the day she applied. what can i do? i feel like no one wants to hire me, and i dont know why. I know most people hire at 16, btu a lot of my friends who are 15 already have jobs and ive asked them to try to get me a job and no one can seem to. I just dont understand because im a good student, dedicated, and i want to work (link)
Hi all I can say is see if you are doing something wrong like your behavior, attitude or something in your resume. May be you are not portraying your self right. If these are not your problems then it's tough luck but you will find a job. Don't lose your confidence. Good luck!!


So i used to like this guy since the beginning of the school year...five months later he found out from one of my friends that i liked him...we started talking and then ended up haning out...he doesn't drive so one of his friends was going to drive us to the movies....it was me, him, and a whole bunch of his other friends all squeezing in one car....we ended up going to one of his friend's houses and then all his friends left to go pick up their other friend...i didn't want to stay at the house alone with him because the whole time i was thinking...oh my gosh...i feel set up, i feel like they are are going to make up lies about the whole situation so we should have never stayed.....while we were at the house, we talked...and he ended up wanting to do stuff/get down...but i told him i'm not that type of girl that i have to get to know him....so we ended up just kissing/making out....a while later he decided that since i wasn't down for anything he was going to call his friend to come and get us....so they all came back...and they thought we had done something but we didn't do anything....the next day i started hearing all kinds of rumors that he had spread that he and i had gotten down and i had given him head!!! oh my gosh i was freaking out...but i decided to keep calm and just ignore it.....i knew he was just saying all that stuff to look cool.....so now a month later.....i hear more rumors that he is still talking about it saying that i was in love with him and the same things about us getting down...it really hurts me, and i have dealt and ignored with it long enough......so i feel like it time that i confront him about it....if you guys have any advice about the situation please tell me because i am so desperate to know what you guys think...i know the whole thing is my fault...i should have never agreed to go to his friends house and let them leave us there because anyone would think we were doing stuff...and i know no matter how hard i try people will keep thinking that..even though nothing happend....it just hurts to be called a slut, which is something i know i am not...i just don't know how to deal with this so whatever advice you guys might have thank you so much...sorry if this was long (link)
Hi sorry about your situation. If you can't ignore it anymore the right thing to do is go confront him. Tell him loud and clear that you don't want to hear any more of these rumors, and he better stay away from you. But just be careful if he is one of those bad guys he might talk more and disturb you. Well I know it hurts but you know who you are and people you care know who you are so don't spoil your mood for this. Good luck!


Im 18 male she is 15. Sorry if this is long by the way.
So we have been friends for a few years now and are super close. She has had a few boyfriends while I have stayed single. We know everything about each other and talk 24/7. We flirt alot and tease each other and stuff even if she is with a guy. Since September 09 I told her I like her more then friends and I love her more then bestfriends and it seems like she has mixed emotions about it. I saw her a few weeks ago and we were alone in her house and she laid on me while watching a movie and i kissed her and we ended up making out and doing other things. Then when i get home she phones me and said she made a big mistake and she has a boyfriend im like oh im sorry and shes like whatever it was so hard to pull away from you. She then broke up with her bf and we continued to be friends like we have been from the begining. Then last week we talked all night and she said she does not want another relationship again then the next morning i hear that shes back with her ex. I told her im sick of her crap, lies and that she broke my heart. We have not talked since and i do not know what to do. its the not first time she has lied to me or really hurt me but i like her and love her so much. I do not know if i want her in my life any more or i can ever forget her. What should I do?. (link)
Hi sorry for what happened. Well if she doesn't feel the same way as you do it's better you stop feeling for her and forget her. There's someone out there for you and it's not her. You should take a break from her, don't push yourself to talk to her. What she did is not right. You should have never let her hurt you in the first place. Just forget her and everything else, start new. Don't think about it, feel bad and waste your life.


I met this boy from another school a couple years ago, we talked alittle, asked to be friends on facebook (All that Jazz). Well, once a year our schools visit each other and stuff, well we talked like we usually do and then the next thing I know he's IMing me. He must have gotten it off my facebook or something but I said something like "Did you like today? Did I make it interesting?" and his reply was "Kinda... and yesss you did! =)" I took that as a little flirting so we've been flirting on AIM and I kinda want to see him again and hang out to get to know him a little better. Right now he's on a class trip til like Saturday or something. So what do you think? Do you think he likes me? Do you recommend us hanging out? How should I ask him??
Btw, I'm 17 almost 18. Same for him. (link)
Hi, if you like the guy and wanna hang out with him, know him better just ask him out for a movie or something. And after you spend some time with him you would know if he's interested in you and if you guys wanna take it any further. Good luck!


16/F

Alright, so I have a friend who's all cute and bubbly and she flirts a lot without realizing it (it's in her personality). The guys tend to flirt with her a lot, too, and she just got her first kiss this week by a guy she only likes as a friend.

It made me realize that I would like to be more carefree and stress-free like her so maybe I can stop being intimidating around guys and stuff.

I'm sort of the opposite of her: serious, sarcastic, stressed (lots of stuff to manage in my life right now), and sort of intimidating, I guess. People say I can be arrogant sometimes, but I never realize it and I really want to change.

I can talk to guys, but I don't always know what to say, or sometimes I say the wrong thing.

It's not just about guys, though, I'm having trouble keeping friends because of my personality, and I want to change.

I want to be more carefree and stress-free like her, but I'm not sure how since I'm usually a busy person cause of school and work.

I don't want a boyfriend just to have one. I just want to meet a guy who I like without being awkward. o.O

What should I do?

Thanks! (link)
Hi, I understand what you said. I was like you serious, stressed and intimidating. But at the end of my schooling I came to know that many guys actually liked me but were kind of scared to talk to me. I din't understand why then. Now I do and I changed.

You don't have to be like your friend. Never change your ideals and opinions, every one's unique. But don't stress yourself out so bad. You should enjoy your life. You think too much for everything i guess. Try taking things lightly. I don't mean that you should neglect your studies but just don't take anything too seriously. It spoils your mood and your peace completely. Everyone has something to keep them busy, school, work, fightings with friends or someone else. When somethings bothering you badly and you can't solve it just wait for it to get solved. This would help you be stress free and care free.

And think before you say something to others, if it might hurt them just don't say it. And if you don't know what to speak, it's ok, think and say something but don't stop talking at all because you may say wrong things. You learn only when you try. If you have said something inappropriate then just say oops sorry, i shouldn't have said that. They won't mind. There are a lot of guys who want to talk to you but they don't know if you want to. So rather than staying quiet and serious say anything you want to. They will understand you, will know you that you are a person who sometimes doesn't know what to say. Have fun, cheer up, smile always, stay in a good mood.

Hope this helps you. If you want to ask anything else I would be glad to help you because I know what you are going through. But this process takes time. You need to try. So good luck! Live Life, Love Life!!


Me and my best friend have been friends for 4 years, but this year weve got into fights and were always, well shes always angry at me and everytime she is I come crawling back and I apologize even though I have no idea what I did the other night she said that I make her feel like an idiot when I do stupids things but I told her that shes not an idiot and shouldnt feel that way cause im just joking around and now she's not talking to me and honestly im tired of all this and i was gonna ask her if she thinks our friendship is worth saving because at this point im not gonna kill myself over this anymore but I'm not crawling back this time shes gonna be the one crawling back but I'm scared cause I really dont want to lose her please help me cause im really cofused.... (link)
Hi, best friends may fight but never go apart or forget each other. Well from what I understand you say something about her or do something in front of the other guys and that makes her look like an idiot. Do you make fun of her? You may just be joking and may not intend to hurt her but you did. Just stop doing that in front of others. You got to respect her feelings right? You said it's always you who goes back to her so she takes for granted that you are going to do the same thing, you should have told her it won't happen all the time and 1 day you wouldn't show up. Go talk to her, understand exactly what the problem is, respect each others feelings, just don't do anything she doesn't like. And tell her that it should not always be you who goes back and talks, sometimes it should be her too no matter who's mistake it is. At the end you guys still want to stay best friends right? Who wants to lose them. It's easy to find friends but too difficult to find best friends. Good luck!


I've known my best friend since 4th grade, and we're almost 20 now. She's been dating her boyfriend for a while. Her boyfriend and my boyfriend used to be best friends, but there was a bunch of drama a while back and they stopped talking. Recently, we all started talking again and everything seemed fine. But today, my friend called me and said that ever since our boyfriends have started talking again, he's been really mean to her and has been acting like he doesn't need her anymore. This was definitely not what me and my boyfriend wanted, we thought it would make everything better since we could all hang out again without the awkwardness. But he's been calling her names and telling her what to do, and just acting weird. Any advice for this situation? (link)
Hey it's no problem. You din't mention the reason he was acting weird was because he can't spend much time with his friend. Well if that's the case your boy friend should talk to him, tell him that nothing changed and that they are still friends and will hang out like before. And as to his behavior with his girl friend, it's not right. She should not tolerate everything he says. She should talk to him, ask him what's bothering him and why he is doing that.


Okay so me and my boyfriend broke up about a week ago.He broke up with me because "i was too overwhelming and a lot for him to handle" and ofcourse i was clingy.We were together all the time,cuddling,talking,making food,jokes,sleeping,just doing everything.I did EVERYTHING for him.I bought him everything,drove him around,just everything.He always held my hand,called me "baby",just did all cute boyfriend stuff and then on one day..he randomly broke up with me.We were perfectly fine (so i thought) and did it randomly .I was devastated.He went on vacation for like 6 days and we didnt speak one word because he thought I hated him.He came back last night and was texting my friend (a boy) and asked him what he's doing and stuff and told him he was at my house and that he should come over and he didnt want to because it'd be awkward.Well i called him and texted him and told him i didnt hate him and to come over so we could talk.We had a great talk,and sorted things out perfectly..but he says he wants to stay strictly "friends",but really good friends and we could hangout all the time etc. I wrote him a 2 page letter and he went in the bathroom and read the whole thing because he was in there for so long.He came back and didnt have much to say,he just said it was a "really deep" letter.We sat on my bed and continued to talk for an hour,while everyone else was downstairs.While we were walking up the stairs,he put his hand back to hold mine and then stopped himself because he realized we weren't "together" anymore.He kept like play fighting with me like we used to and then just giving me a big hug after.and when we were in the car ,i kept falling asleep and he was like telling everyone to wake me up because he knows that when i fall asleep ,i hit my head on things..so he was basically looking out for me like he used too.He was also "claiming " a side of my bed saying it's his..because when we used to lay there,he always got the same side.I'm still crazy for this boy and he claims he wants to be friends..I was thinking about staying friends and being A LOT less clingy ,not always willing to hangout with him, and less flirty and see if he comes back,when he realizes what he had.because he told me "im the most amazing girl he's ever met".I didn't even attempt to really flirt with him last night or get emotional because I want to show that I agree with him.I really want him back.What should I do? (link)
Hi i'm sorry for what happened but well it wasn't a messy one so isn't that good. I think the only reason one should break up with the other is only when they realize they don't like each other anymore. Here just because you are too much for him to handle doesn't seem a fair reason to break up. If that's the case you guys should sort it out. You said you both were doing everything together, well you shouldn't have. You should be away from each other so each can have your space, hang out with your friends, do other things and that's even a chance to miss each other. You want him back but does he want the same too? What you can do is talk to him about it. You just can't feel that way, not tell him and do things to win him back. If he's not interested you would be really hurt later. Good luck!!


My boyfriend broke up with me 4 days ago..we were dating for about 3 months.He was my first REAL boyfriend (im 17) and it was like a real relationship where we talk and hangout and bond ALOT .So you could say for my first relationship it was pretty serious.He broke up with me because "he started to see me as a friend and i was clingy" .I had no idea this was coming so i was devastated.He went on vacation and will be back on Thursday and hasn't spoken to me since the breakup ..except one text .I've been an absolute wreck ,crying the minute i wake up,being upset most of the day and probably crying during the day and ofcourse at night too for the last 4 days. Each day is harder for me because all the songs on my ipod,we used to listen to and he used to sing to me and he would point out his favorite songs and i have to avoid listening to my ipod.I also have to avoid driving by a park we used to go to,certain words I say/he used to say,foods we used to eat all the time,games we played,movies,a whole bunch of stuff and it's so hard to avoid these things.Ive been taking advice from everyone and not speaking to him or communicating with him at all costs,(which I wrote him a letter and hope to give it to him the day after he comes back) .Ive been occupying myself very much,but even while I'm occupying myself ..i still think of him and all the good times (because we havent had many bad ones and our break up wasn't even a fight or a nasty breakup ..it was just sad).It seems like no matter how occupied or busy I am..i still think of him and get sad.I just want him back or I want to get over him.What techniques have worked to get over guys FAST? because I can't take the crying anymore! (link)
I'm really sorry for what happened. Well if there was no fight, no bad times in the relationship but still your boy friend broke up with you, it means that he doesn't feel like the way he felt anymore. And if that's the case then you should get over him. Since it's your first relationship I understand the pain. You don't have to try forgetting everything. Think of it as an experience, remember the good times. If you think you have done some mistakes, don't repeat them. If it's over then it's over for your good. It takes time but stop yourself from crying, hang out and enjoy with your friends. It's not your mistake, don't cry, waste precious days of your life. Try smiling for small things and feel happy for them.
Hope this helps you.


There's a kid in my lunch period named Jake. Every time I walk in the caf, I have to walk by his table and he looks at me, it's a look that makes me melt. He's adorable and my heart skips a beat when he looks at me. Anyways, when he looks at me, it seems like forever until we look away and I'm usually the one to break the glance. He does it to me in the halls, his locker is near-ish mine and he does it if we walk by each other. Also, today he turned around and saw that I was throwing my tray away so he got up and threw his away too so we would run into each other in the aisle going to the garbage, I know, romantic right haha. He's adorably cute if I din't mention that already haha (: so, do you think he thinks I'm cute or what, like why does he keep looking at me? Thanks. (link)
Because he wants to talk to you and know you. Well if he doesn't start the conversation then you say a hi first. It's as simple as that.


I met a new friend in my class well lets say we just started talking as a friend cause we only used to have those small talk.But I was kind of able to read her like her personality, shes shy,has trust issues,advice giver,sympathetic and introvert, bottles up her feelings and write it out instead and likes art she thought it was kinda scary how I knew I was able to read her and we started talking more because of that, well the thing is how can I open her up more? She has friends but shes scared to get close to people because in the past she had a best friend that was like her sister but her mom told her to not talk to her anymore and she was really really sad about it and since then she has trust issues and she said she doesn’t trust people in general I cant figure this out what kind of trust issues is this? Is she afraid that people will leave her once she gets close to them? (link)
Well I have one of my friend's like this. What you could do is listen to her, if she doesn't talk you ask her questions. After a while she'll open up and tell about her without your asking. You talk and share too. Know her interests and if you could together do something she'll be quite happy. If you care so much spend time with her and don't suddenly stop communicating with her for a long period. That would make her think she is forgotten and not important.


There is a boy in my phys ed class. He's super shy and very cute. My friend has been talking to him about me, because I like him, and she said he smiles every time they talk about me. So, I got to thinking he might like me too a little. However, I messaged him on facebook and said I really want to talk to him and I would be very happy if he talked to me on Monday but he didn't. I am not going to talk to him because I messaged him on facebook and I feel like the ball is in his court now. He knows I like him so it's his choice where he takes it. It's almost like he's afraid to talk to me or he just doesn't. Am I wrong? Does he not like me? Do you think I'm thinking right for letting him go with it where he wants because I took the first step and messages him? Thanks. (link)
Since you like him so much you should try once again. Go talk to him, well start with why he din't reply to your message and see what his answer and his tone is. You should know by that if he is interested or not.


what does touching while talking to someone has an effect on someone who doesnt touch the talker while talking? does that make the talker feel safe when they touch them? (link)
It must be their habit to put their hands over you or hold your hands or slightly punch you while they talk. At first that really seems strange and may be uncomfortable too. You should know if it's their habit and if they do it with everyone. If that's the case then yes they must feel very comfortable and at ease with the other person. And from the listener's view if they don't like it they should tell.


There's this boy I'm starting to like but we have no classes together so my friend tells him to get on facebook so we can talk and she tells him all the stuff but he never holds true to what he says he's going to do. Like Friday he said "I will most definitely be on facebook" and he didn't go on. I know I'm thinking to hard, maybe he got caught up in something and could not go on. My friend says everytime she says my name he smiles though. However, he can't talk to me. Why is that? Do you think he likes me? Thanks. (link)
It's just one time that he dint show up to talk, so may be got held back in some work. So give him another chance and see if he talks to you. And he smiles mostly because he knows that you like him. You can't decide on that if he likes you or not. So talk to him and see how he is with you.


I never thought I would say this about myself but I have been acting quite immature lately. My boyfriend has been too, but I no longer only blame him. I realized something today thanks to advice from very smart people on this very site.
Thing is, I've kind of screwed things up with my boyfriend. I am significantly younger than him, not a ridiculous amount, and don't worry I'm over 18, but enough so that it makes a difference.
Anyway I've had unrealistic expectations about our relationship. He has made many many promises when we first started going out 3 months ago, and its really gotten to my head that I started making all these expectations. He hasn't pulled through with everything he promised, but at the same time I expected ridiculous things from him because I AM immature and I DON'T know much about relationships.
Now, I've realized all this. The thing is that I have been childish. In the beginning, he was obsessed with me, he loved me SO much. Now, its barely dragging along, and I think its my fault. I started stupid fights, I blamed him for things that were not a big deal, and I made a big deal over nothing. I dont doubt his love is gone, BUT he is fed up with all the dumb things I have done. This is not to say that its all my fault, I only reacted to things as best I could, but I realized I have been wrong. Thing is, I didnt know any better. Hes my first relationship. I dont know what is a big deal and isnt and what to emphasize and what to let go.
I love him a LOT, and I really want to get him excited about this relationship again. Show him that its not too late, that I realize what I've been doing, and that I am sorry but I just want things to be like they were in the beginning. Thing is even if I tell him all this, it takes action and me proving it for him to believe me! So what can I do to show him that I understand things now and I am slowly changing??? HELP! (link)
hi there. The best thing to do is talk to him. Tell him that you have realized that the relationship has taken a bad turn, It's partly because you have been fighting over small things. Tell him you have understood this and would like to change it, and that he have patience. With co operation you guys can work it out and have a great time together again.


i have this girl in my school and she is real cute. so i had the guts to ask her to come to me and i had asked her to hug me while i was sitting and she did. so she asked me what i was doing and left. i was just lookin at her. the next few days my friend had talked about her and she was behind me and us so i had put my arm around her and sweet talk her telling her i missed you and i was just wanting to see what she wud say to me. so i dont know what it means if i should keep doing what i am doing. and is she comfortable ? (link)
hey there. well if the girl hugged you and din't mind you putting your arms around her then she must like you. But friends do that too. What was her reply when you said you missed her? And you should know if there is a difference in her behavior when she is with you and when she is with her other guy friends. Is it the same. Then she thinks of you as just a friend.

Anyways you sweet talk her only if you want to and if you are comfortable doing that in the first place.
