Inconceivable

This happened at our school recently...One of the PE teachers was being quite perverted. He could be seen on numerous occasions looking down girls' shirts as they did pushups and one girl was dancing for some reason and he walked over to her, put a dollar in her pocket and asked her if she wanted to be a stripper when she grew up. These aren't the only instances, I just can't really remember any more. You need to tell someone. Let them know that you feel uncomfortable and everything will take care of itself. (Just FYI: When the girls finally got the courage to report him, the teacher was sent on paid suspension while the school looked into things and he quit before they had a chance to fire him.)

I had to write a haiku for class and this is what came out. It's not the best in the world, but I figure with all the bad situations on here, some nice thoughts are good Leaves quickly falling The tree branches look so bare Soon, green will appear

I really don't think that's it. I'm going to tell you right now that neither of us are the most popular people in the world, so we don't have as much relationship experience as everyone else. All of our mutual friends have told me that he's just shy, and I'm positive at least one of them would say tell me if he's not interested anymore (but it's only been like 4 days, can he really lose interest that fast?) I dunno...I can't quite tell if who I'm trying to convince here, you or me. I really really really don't think he's that type of person.

I'm not quite sure what to do here, this is a first for me. I was friends with those boy for about 2 months, we would hang out a lot at school, walk to almost every class together and talk a lot during the class we have together. We could easily carry a conversation. He asked me out like two weeks ago but he did it the day before Spring Break and I wasn't ready to answer then and we didn't have any contact during spring break. Well, on Tuesday I finally told him that yes, I could go out with him. But as soon as I said that, he got incredibly shy. I don't know what to do to help him open up again! I've been working very hard to keep a conversation going he hasn't really been helping. I talked to some of our mutual friends and they all said that as outgoing as he is, he is very very shy around girls. But one thing I don't understand is, from what I've heard from my best friend (who is also good friends with my boyfriend) he has liked me for quite a while, yet he was still outgoing then! Why should a title suddenly change it all? I don't understand this. I knew there would be a period of awkwardness at the beginning, but not this badly. He doesn't look at me as much as he did before I said yes. This is all very confusing to me...Does anyone have any insight? Thanks for your time everyone!

I've tried to figure this out on my own, I really have, but I just can't figure out what I want. Like three or four weeks ago, I had a crush on one of my guy friends. He found out about it but nothing happened so I suppose he didn't feel the same way. Well, last thursday, right after school he slipped a note (asking me out) into a bag full of candy that my friend had given me. I found it Thursday night, but I had no clue what I wanted to say to him on Friday so I pretended I didn't find it. At school on Friday, he asked if I had eaten all the candy from my friend and I told him I hadn't touched it(side note: I feel HORRIBLE for lying to him). He said that I should go and eat it before my sister or someone else takes it. We're on Spring Break now, so I won't see him/have contact with him until the 11th. I have no clue what I want to do. I've tried making a list of my reasons to say yes and no, but even that didn't really help. I want to say yes because -I do want to get closer to him -He's really sweet and does things for me even though he doesn't want to do them -I always have fun when I'm with him. I've never not had fun with when I'm with him, even when I've had a crappy day. -I don't want look back and wonder what I missed out on -I want to be his best friend...the one he always comes to. -I doubt I'll get another chance with him -When I'm talking about him with my friend, I think about him and I get the same feeling I had when I used to like him -I don't want him to get hurt, and I don't want things to get weird between us. I want to say no because: -I don't really want a boyfriend at the moment -I'm content with being friends -I'm not sure if I can picture him being all I want in a guy (then again, he may just not have had a chance to show me who he can really be...) -I don't really see him *that way* anymore -I don't want everything changing between us...I love how things are I really don't know what to do here. I feel like I'm stressing out over nothing, but at the same time I feel like this is really huge. Can anyone help?

I don't know how to cheer my friend up. She's never really had a guy before and I just got asked out for the second time this school year. She's feeling kind of down that no guy likes her and I want to cheer her up. I told her that just because no guys say they like you doesn't make it so. People keep their feelings to themselves all the time. Anyone have any advice?

If you don't know him that well I would be careful because it is most likely infatuation that you are feeling, which means it will probably wear off soon. As for tips...My friend used to drop her books in front of the guy she liked and when he would help her she'd say "Hey! You're so and so! I'm so and sue! (hahaha! sorry, bad pun on my part.) It's nice to meet you" and she would smile and be on her way. Well, after that everytime she saw him she would smile and sometimes wave and gradually they began to become friends.

HAHAHAHA that was the funniest thing I've heard all day! Amazing... To offer some advice, most people I know go to the mall. It's not very original, but it gives you lots to do. There are arcades and games to play, there's a movie theatre, there are shops, there's a skate park, and most people go there anyway so it's easy to meet up with other people there for a group date or by chance or something. The mall is a great first date option for me...then again, most malls don't have all the things the mall nearest me does, so you may not have this option...

When you ask her, don't ask her in front of the other two people. She will feel like she's on the spot.

Well I've been pretty lucky, I've never had to ask. I met one guy I liked through a friend, and she was pretty close to him so she knew a lot about his life. When I finally admitted to her I felt that way about him, so told me he had a girlfriend. The other time I like a guy (who is a senior) my friends and I were talking about his behavior. Like, if you didn't know he was a senior you would think he is a freshman or sophomore because he acts pretty immature. Someone made the off hand comment that he was dating a sophomore, which probably had a lot to do with it. So yeah, I've been pretty lucky.

It wears off so quick beacuse it's not meant to be used as a cologne...Axe is deodorant.

I used to have a crush on this guy (lets cal him Joe) I have a class with and I think he knew I liked him, but I'm not sure. We talked a little bit, but we could never really keep a conversation going very long. Well, on Monday, I was talking to my friend Taylor. I made sure Joe was within earshot because if he knew that I had liked him, I wanted him to know that I didn't like him anymore. "I have a new friend." (Friend is what we use to say 'guy I like') Taylor asked me about my old 'friend' and I told her "Not so much anymore." That day in class, Joe and I spent the entire time talking, the same with Tuesday too. Today in class (it's PE class, so it's all jogging for certain amounts of time.) I couldn't jog because I'm injured, so instead of jogging I just walked. Joe could jog perfectly fine, but when he passed me, he slowed down so he could 'jog' beside me. He eventually stopped his 'jog' and just walked the rest of the class with me, talking. I just thought that was very odd. He and I were aquantainces*sp before, when I started liking him. I like him as a friend now, but I just think it's kind of odd that right when I stop liking him he talks to me so much more. I know he wasn't afraid to talk to me when he knew I liked him because he did come and talk to me , we were just never able to carry a conversation for too long.

Just kind of a weird question... I'm on the girls varsity soccer team at my high school. Yesterday we had a home game, so most of our girls team stayed to watch the boys play right after us. Well, I was watching the guy I know best on the boys team and I found myself wondering if I liked him. Flash forward to nighttime. I had a strange dream about him last night. He held my hand, smiled at me, called me beautiful, and almost kissed me. I was just wondering if there was like any connection here? Because yesterday was the first time I found myself wondering if I liked this dude, and suddenly that night I had a dream about him....Could this just be my mind plotting out some wishful thinking?

I have a friend (Let's call her Ann) who I really love spending time with. I love my fourth period class because of two people, and she's one of them. But the problem is, in our fourth period class is another one of her friends (Call her Lola) whom I really don't like. Lola blabs secrets, tells lies to people, whines constantly, pretends she's something she's not, and I just really really don't like her. I have 3 classes with Lola, though we usually only talk to each other in fourth period. I'm getting sick and tired of pretending to like her, because I did this last year and it turned out some nasty results. I don't want to hurt Ann because she's one of my best friends, but I don't know how much longer I can go on pretending to like Lola. I want to hang out with Ann, but I can't unless I hang out with Lola as well. I could hang out with my other friend in that class, but he is the guy I have a crush on and I have trouble carrying conversations with guys I like (though I did very well at talking to him today!) Any comments on this is much appreciated. By the way, the class I'm talking about with Ann and Lola (fourth period) is a PE class, so all we do is talk the whole period while we run/lift weights.

I had problems with this with my previous boyfriend too. I can't carry a conversation. Everytime I'm with a guy I like, I always just end up laughing at almost everything and all the responses I give them aren't really things to help carry the conversation along. The only time I can carry a conversation with a guy is when we talk about sports, because well I'm a big fan of sports. But I'm sick of talking about that. I want to be able to talk about other things too!

Way to go! It's awesome when people are comfortable in themselves and the skin they are in!

Because it's pretty fun to try and get a guy....If automatically he just says "Yeah, I like you too" then it isn't as fun sometimes....It's kind of like hunting. You're looking for a deer to hunt and all of a sudden you see flashy neon sings that say "DEER OVER HERE" and "10 POINT BUCKS WAITING FOR YOU!" it kinda kills the fun of waiting for a deer and patiently going in for the kill. Get what I'm saying? Heck, I'm not even sure I do....

I hav ben incredibly scared of donkeys ever since I was five...I started crying two years ago on our gifted biology's class trip to the zoo. The teacher wanted us to go into the petting zoo and do some kind of assignment for school, but I was so afraid because there were two donkeys in there and oh wow...The teacher thought I was just slacking off until I started bawling...It's kinda funny looking back on it...

HAHAHA you're definatley NOT the only one! My friend laughs at me because I pay wayyyyy too much attention to detail, and analyze every little thing! It's actually really funny...I try to catch myself doing it and stop. I haven't been doing too well with that

Don't change yourself just to get girls. Change yourself because you want to. I used to be just like that, I was quiet and rarely talked. But one day I decided I didn't want to be like that anymore. I wanted more friends and I wanted to let people know what I thought. I changed because I wanted to...That's what you have to ask yourself---Do I want to change for myself or just to get a girl? Because if it's just to get a girl, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. Good Luck!

my situation is a lot like this. There's a guy in my PE class that I like. Well, we never used to talk or look at each other or a whole lot. But on Monday we spent like the entire class together, and after school at practice he was running around the track and I was getting my team pictures taken and everytime he came near me he would always stare at me and smile. (I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I love that he's showing an interest in me!) But the bad thing is I can't tell if he really likes me or if he likes me because my friend decided to be funny and told him immediately after I told her that I thought I had a crush on him. He pays more attention to me now, and he's making me think he's interested...Like, today he waited for me and we walked to lunch together...It was very odd, and it was something my ex used to do (And oddly enough, this boy and my ex are in the same class...I'm guessing it was my ex that put him up to waiting for me...) So yeah, that's my situation and I'm overanalyzing it wayyyyyyy too much...But I have a tendency to do that =)

I sent it and she loved it! Sadly, it was the only flower she received, but she told me that walking down the hall with that rose she was getting a LOT of jealous looks. =)

My brother told me that I could have one of the roses he bought for his girlfriend if I wanted. I want to give one to one of my friends because she always feels really sad and depressed on Valentines day. The thing is, I'm not sure if doing this is a good idea...Is it ok to let her think that someone likes her? I don't see her at all during the school day--If I was to do this I would have her locker partner put it in their locker. What do you think? Should I try and cheer her up or what?
