Okay so I've been hitting up the gym with this guy lately and we've been doing alot of different things for our legs and arms and such but I'm looking to work on my abs. What are some excersizes I can do to work them out? Not necessarily to get a six pack but enough so that they're hard and not flabby. Also, something I can do with the guy there is a bonus because sometimes excersising with a guy is awkward enough without the random positions.. (but if they work i can do some at home)

the first step into getting your abs into shape is lots and lots of cardio. Even if you have the hardest abs, you're not going to be able to see your results if you have a layer of fat on top of them.
Some excercises that have worked for me are the basic crunch. You don't need to do a full sit-up to get results in your upper abs. You can do thers sitting or standing.
Another excercise would be putting your feet up under a bed and crunching up. In addition to that alternat elbow to knee for your obliques. 15 on eac side, work your way up to 3 or 4 sets.
For those difficult to reach lower abs also know as the horrible muffin top, lay flat on your back with your hands and feet secured to the floor and raise your buttocks about 4 inches off the floor. Do this until you can't do anymore. Again, 3 or 4 sets is good. These workd great for me. I hope they work.
Good luck,
