    If she has you hold her and link arms and wont let you kiss her but it's obvious there's something there, what the hell's going on lol? She asks me how I am in relationships, she keeps bringing up gf and bf thigns. She put some flowers I gave her in her scrapbook. She told me today that I'm the only guy that's ever made her nervous and that she sees the way I look at her. She looks in my eyes and says she feels theres something I want to tell her, and there is that I like her, should I turn this into a relationship? Next time I speak to her I'm going to ask her on a date.

    Okay, so over the years my best friend has had a really great boyfriend - or so we thought. I'm regretting it a little since I got myself involved, but what he did to her was really horrible and the way it ended wasn't good at all. I'm not going to dive too deep into the details of what happened, but since I'm trying to help my friend cope I came up with a silly and stupid ploy to do for revenge. Apparently he cheated on her with this asian girl, and I feel cruel for doing this but I photoshopped his head onto a body of a Geisha... LOL!!!!! Stupid and immature, but my best friend Jenna needed a good laugh. We're debating whether or not we should send him and that girl the photo on Myspace or Facebook, but I'm kinda scared to, haha. What do you say? I think he deserves some embarrassment... Original picture - http://i45.tinypic.com/2d9bfo0.jpg Geisha makeover - http://i45.tinypic.com/142ubn8.jpg Hahaha, it's official. I am awesome. <3

    So this girl and I are at the friends with benefits stage, but so far she hasn't even let me kiss. On saturday she was looking in my eyes calling me handsome, and shy, and she pressed her body up against mines for warmth, linked my arm in hers, I knew she likes me, but I only got to kiss her on the forehead. I rubbed her butt, rubbed her back at the party, just to let her know it's alright to be physical with me. But when around public, or my close friends, I don't like to be intimate with women. Well today she asked me how I am in relationships and she said she sees the tension in me, and she gets a weird vibe from me I say good or bad she says not bad, and that she feels theres something I want to say to her. She changed infront of me today with her sister in the room and she's real cool with me. I'm starting to like her, but stopping myself because its a friend with benefit thing.

I was going to text her 2nite and say "Whats up would it be bugging if I asked if we could kick it tomorrow". Good or bad idea? Thanks. She's cool and I'd get with her, should I take it in the relationship direction?

    Im a 17 year old male and don't think i can cope. Firstly, Im 6'5' and quite skinny which i hate, i always feel like i stick out. Secondly i'v not had a girlfriend for sooooooo long. Iv only kissed 4 girls in my entire life! I also feel like I do nothing to help the world, like i am forever getting depressed about how little i do to help people, I don't know how to bring myself to do good things and say nice things without getting all embarrased. I am (in my opinion) very selfish, which means i do most things my way, when I do say something, or act in a nice manner i feel sooo good, Then wonder why i cant do this all the time so get depressed again. I feel like im slipping away gradually from all my friends and starting to turn into a loner and I always feel so imature. I hate how my mum is living at home on her own when I am in Liverpool studying Preforming Arts which i don't even think I want to do. I don't want to tell my mum though as I think she would be upset because Its all I have wanted to do in my life. Im thinking of getting a diary (as gay as this might sound but I don't care) And writing a really long list of things to do before I die, and hopefully by doing this I will feel A much better person. And if not, i don't know what to do at all. Any advice or help would be great. Thanks!

  • Do you ever listen to girls conversation? What kind of things do you hear?

    I overheard some girls talking when I was walking through the hallway. I know this is sneaky and the fact that I was behind a door is different than sitting down somewhere and listening to people talk to try to talk to them or you just happen to be there. I have no experience with girls.....I never been on a date and I never had a girl that was really a friend...more like acquaintances or short term people I associate myself with I guess i'm just trying to figure them out since I can't seem to get a date

Recipe for a perfect man

Posted Thu, Oct 29, 2009
POST A COMMENT »

The holiday season is in full swing, at least within the confines of my kitchen, and I've been fine-tuning my recipes in hopes of truly perfecting them this year.

I mean, I've got a check list that I want to accomplish before my next birthday hits, and perfecting my very own pie recipe is on the list. Why? I dunno, but I'm a girl. We are kooky sometimes.

Then I think to myself: wouldn't our lives be so much more simple if it all followed a recipe?

Like, let's say...the perfect man?

Does he exist?? It's a big ask, and to be quiet honest, I don't think there is such a thing as a 'perfect man'. One that pleases each and every palate out there? Doubtful.

We all have different personalities we gravitate towards and some of us need complimentary partners, while others appreciate like minded individuals, but there is one common slice that, when it comes to attraction, I think we all look for in a partner. Appearance.
And I don't mean being drop dead gorgeous, tall, fit, or any other descriptors that apply to models, actors, or the genetically blessed. I mean the idea of presenting yourself, if you will allow, as your own perfected recipe. Cleanliness, being 'put together' etc., appeals to all of us.

This really is a recipe I've concocted for all the guys out there, so listen up.
Doesn't matter if you aren't Clooney or Pitt. As far as I am concerned, these ingredients below appeal to most, if not all women out there.

PERFECT MAN RECIPE

1 x nose/ear hair trimmer: unacceptable to not be taken care of. You want us to be up close and personal? Then we expect your little stragglers in the caves to be removed. No exceptions.

1 x solid and manageable hair style: you don't want to look coiffed and over done and we would never ask that of you either. Just something that works for you and your hair. Maybe taking a step above the soap-and-rinse in the shower. Maybe a styling aide that isn't gel? Try a curl crème for hold on your unruly locks or a putty for a messy, bed-head look.

1 x skin care regime: a teeny tiny bit goes a long long way. Some suggestions are right here.

1x man-icure: you don't need polish, you don't need to even buff, but trying your hand at a man-icure to help moisturize your cuticles (or remove them if they are over grown) and slough off the dead skin that will accumulate come these cold months will better your chances of laying those hands on us girls. I mean, holding the hands of your girl (get your mind out of the gutters, people).

Optional: interaction with a wax strip or razor in a not-so-common area, where needed
If it is warranted, get rid of the rug on your back by visiting a professional waxer to rip, I mean, rid you of that fleece. If you value a better smelling self, shave under your arms. Less hair there means less chance of bacteria and odour catching and releasing a not-so-fresh scent all day long.

There it is. The first version of my 'perfect man' recipe. It's a work in progress, and could use some collaborative suggestions. Feel free list out a few elements or tweak the formula that best suits your desires.
Perhaps recco. something that that you think guys could benefit from.

Overall, I think it comes down to one over all idea: Think 'clean'.

Why?

'Cuz chicks dig it.

    i think pedicures should be added to this list. feet may not get the same "face time" and are hidden away, but sandpaper-like, crackly, dry feet are much much worse than a footlong nose hair. nasty feet says "i'm a sloppy lover".

    Yes I agree with Oynkiel11 also, I hate it when my feet get dry and unrouly so I wouldn't like it in my man either. I gotta say Bahar you hit the nail right on the head. A good smelling man is a good man :O) Take care!
