I'm sorry I keep asking you but I REALLY need help! I like
this guy. And by like I mean I think about him a lot. A lot meaning 90%
of the time. My friend told him that I like him and he said" i kinda
suspected that". He talks to me still a little now but he hasnt said
anything about it. Do you think he likes me? Is there anything I can do to
make him like me? Please help!
-- = helpless???

He might like you and figure since you like him and it's out there, you ought to make the next move. He might not like you and hopes by avoiding the subject, it will just die and you can both avoid some awkwardness. There might be things you can do to make him like you, but that varies from guy to guy. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




How does three-way dating work?

Not very well. I recommend against it. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Ellie-
I'm 15 years old, and bout 3 weeks ago I began coming out to my close
friends that I am bisexual. It's been really nervewracking. A big part
of this descision had to do with the fact that I've fallen for this
girl,let's call her Maria, that fortunately is also bi. I was so afraid to
tell her because I didn't want things to get weird between us, but it
turned out that she was her wonderful, accepting self and everything was
good. Not to mention, she likes me too! *joy!*

Now onto the actual problem: I'm never able to hang out with her. My
parents hate her(I'll get back to this) and she's been out of school sick
and at her recently deceased grandmother's funeral events. I think of
her all the time. It's almost a physical ache. You see, my parents both
hate her because they think she's a bad influence, and they don't even
know she's bisexual or that I'm interested in her, or even of my
bisexuality. It's true that she's more "experienced" than I am, but she is a
year older. Also, my parents are very conservative Catholic; they
sheltered me a lot and don't approve of most of the things they hear about
what goes on at my school. (I just transferred to public school from a
private Catholic school because of money issues) I follow the "rules" of
Catholicism much more loosely, but I'm very steadfast in the core
beliefs of my faith. Anyway, I'm starting to go off on a tangent so I'll end
this. What should I do?

See Maria when you can and have a good time. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Eleanor!
after a two-year-long spell of intense loneliness and a loveless
existence, I have found a guy whom I love beyond words. We've been dating for
a few months now (we've known each other for almost two years), and
things are wonderful between us, but this girl, his ex, let's call her
psychobitch, is being...well...a psychotic bitch. She calls him all the
time, even when he tells her to fuck off. She walks by his house numerous
times, even when I'm there. she slaps his ass and hits on him, even
though he's told her to leave him alone. We both despise her and have told
her as much, but she and her little minions (her sister and best
friend) still won't leave us alone. they spread horrible rumors, they yell at
us in the halls when they pass us--it's getting ridiculous. I can't use
any violence to fix it, though it is tempting, ebcause, well...I'd get
arrested. Like wise, if my boyfriend did anything, he's ALSO get
arrested, but he'd be sent ot jail because he already has pending ch
arges on his record......help me, Eleanor! How can I make her leave us
alone?
-- = losing patience

Instead of ignoring her, ask her what she wants. Her responses should be met with one of two responses of your own: "why?" and "too bad." That will resolve the issue. --Eleanor Roosevelt




A friend of mine broke off all contact with me about a month
ago. The first words she said to me sice were in an e-mail saying that
she hated me. I told her to stop emailing me, then she emails back
saying that she was trying to become friends with me again, then says that
I need to change everything about myself in order to have any friends
and that the reason that i've never had a friend for more than two years
is because i need to change. That makes no sense. Why would she say she
hates me if she wants to be friends? She doesn't seem to grasp the fact
that the friends I used to have moved away, and that i had nothing to
do with it. she started hanging out with this girl who is basically the
person in my life i hate the most, and gave no reason for leaving me.
this situation is very annoying and useless, and i told her i don't want
to be friends with her because she was annoying and she was a cunt.
what shoud everybody do about this stupid situation?
-- = Laurie

Just move on. Sometimes friends break up with you. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




i am addicted to the television show 'lost' on ABC. while
this isnt the problem (however, admission IS the first step to
recovery...)i do have a major problem. as an all-knowing alligator and wise advice
giver, i thought i would ask you: what IS/are the secret(s) of the
island? what is lostzilla? and why is Locke so weird? thank you. by the
way, i love your shades. i went to the store and got a pair quite similar.
we are rockin'.
-- = Melissa

I don't watch tv. I just got a phonograph! -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I dumped my ex boyfriend for the guy I am currently dating. I
had been dating my ex for 2 months and we still didn't know eachother
all that well. I've been dating the guy I dumped him for for nearly 6
months and I have become close friends with my ex. My ex now has a girl
friend and claims he misses me a lot. And I miss him too. We've become
such great friends. But I still like the guy I am dating. And if I did
try to dump him, which I have (tried) he says something to the extent
of, "If you leave i'll kill myself." And I wouldn't put it past him...I
don't know what to do. Please save me eleanor!
-- = Kat

I was gonna tell you it'd be wrong to break up with your current for your ex, but your current sounds pathetic. You're not responsible for keeping him alive. Break up with him and dare him to kill himself and make fun of him when he doesn't. He just wants attention and to blackmail you into not breaking up with him. If you're so weak as to be manipulated by the old "I love you so much I have to throw myself in front of a truck if you break up with me" line, you deserve him. --Eleanor Roosevelt




Dear Eleanor,
I've moved fairly recently (six months) to a new school and one of my
friends (If you could call someone you think is nice but don't really
know at all a friend) just broke up with her boyfriend after a
relationship of almost three years. to make an even longer story short..her ex is
already hitting on me. I'm a pretty shy person and the stigma of this
shyocity is preventing me from telling him to piss off immediately. How
do I get rid of him in a subtle, severe, yet short of castration?
-- = emily

Tell him the truth. It works wonders. "You were a cad to my friend and I don't think very highly of you. Bye." -- Eleanor Roosevelt




what the hell is this website? im trying to look for a
discount on Glatex ceiling...

People write long questions to me and I wait a month until I have too many and then write one sentence replies to all of them. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I have hairy, smelly feet but I want to wear higheels. my mom
won't let me shave it off my feet because she thinks if I shave it,
I'll get a boyfreind. She wants me to be a lasbian because she's a
lesbian. We live in texas and people don't like lesbians here and I like boys
more than girls anyway. I'm only 12 and i don't know why she thinks I
would get a boyfreind because i'm not old enough yet. how can i get my
hair to go away and my feet to stop smelling? and how do I gat my mom to
stop making me a lesbian? I don't wantto be a lasbian.
-- = ~~~***stacie***~~~

Wear socks with your shoes. Pull out the hairs one by one. Your mom can't make you a lesbian. People are what they are. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I really need help, I think a fat guy with huge glasses and
tons of pimples is so hottt, the problem is if he screws me then i might
die, how can i screw him without becomeing a pancake?

You can be on top. I would think you would have already thought of this. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I have a fetish for humping things that aren't meant to be
humped. Kleenex boxes are my favorite.
-- = Tianna

Well as long as you're humping kleenex boxes and not knives, I don't think you have such a big problem. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




My boobs are really big for my age and they're getting kinda
saggy even though i wear a bra all the time. what do i do?
-- = Kimmi

Wear a sports bra. Wear two bras. Spend a lot of time hanging upside down. -- Eleanor Roosevelt



-- Eleanor Roosevelt




is there a way for me to lose a lot of weight in a little
time? like about 20 or 30 lbs? do you recommend bulemia or is that too
drastic?
-- = Marci

Bulimia doesn't help you lose weight, so don't even bother. To lose that much weight quit eating completely and run several miles a day on a treadmill. You could look into getting a tapeworm or a tapesnake as well. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I'm thinking about losing my virginity to a guy i don't
really know. i do know that he's good in bed and has a HUGE dick, but i
occasionally have second thoughts. do i fuck or no?
-- = D

Well, you can if you want, but if you have sex with a guy who is known to be terrific in bed and then other guys find out, they won't want to have sex with you because they will fear being compared negatively to him. You'll either have to marry him or move. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Hello Eleanor! I have a bit of a problem with stretch marks.
It seems that ever since I hit puberty I just stated getting curvier
everywhere. I'm okay with that but the problem is that along with curves
came stretch marks. A lot of them. Boobs, biceps, thighs, stomach,
hips, butt, it looks like I'm pretty much covered in them. I've been using
a cream to get rid of them for a little under a year now, but it
appears to be working very slowly. If I lose weight, will I be rid of them,
or will they stick with me until I die (or have cosmetic surgery)? Thank
you much.
-- = Mary Q.

Losing weight won't get rid of them. They'll go away on their own eventually. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Is there any benefit at all to having pubes, or should I just
shave them off? Is it considered more attractive with them or without?
-- = Izzie

They keep you from looking like you're 8 years old. Shaving them can get tedious and dangerous. Maybe you should wax them. Gentlemen can remove some of them (their own that is) to make themselves look better hung. The attractiveness of them is a personsal preference. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




Dear Eleanor,
My family is moving, and it's been a little hard on me. I hate to be
in the same room as my parents when they talk about it. I always
procrastinate against helping to pack. I get really grouchy and always snap
at anyone at home who tries to talk to me. I'm almost never like this.
Is there any way that you know of to try to not be so grouchy and go
with the flow that doesn't involve therapy? Thanks.
-- = Casey

No. I don't think therapy would help either though. Moving is the worst. I'd be mad too. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




hey. i liked this girl for a really, really long time. i
finally got over her. now i like her boyfriend. what should i do? and if
your idea is a threesome, could you possibly include ways that i might go
about suggesting it to them?

thanks.
-- = brick

A threesome might be a good idea. You can't really propose it though because it's their relationship you'd be imposing on. You should probably try planting the idea in the boyfriend's head. I figure if the girl wanted to have relations with you, you wouldn't have liked her for a long long time without getting anything back. He might be a more receptive audience. They might be more willing to accept you if they think you are just lusty and don't have any romantic feelings for either of them. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




i want to lose weight. what kind of diet should i go on?
-- = kim

Beer and soup. They're opposites so they cancel each other out. It's like eating nothing at all. -- Eleanor Roosevelt




I just met a guy and had sex with him the very next day.
That's not my problem. My problem is that he's a man-whore(I knew that
before we had sex) and he'd already had sex with my best friend before and
was hitting on her a lot(the day before we fucked). I already felt
jealous of my friend because I really liked this guy a lot but I know for
sure that she likes him a lot too. I'll be seeing him again next weekend
and I'll see my friend too and I don't know what I should do because I
really hate my friend now even though I still hang out with her and the
sex was my first time and REALLY good(she'd already had sex a few times
before that and her options are still open for relationships). I'm new
to this and I finally found a guy who likes me and wants to fuck me,
but the thought that he'd be having sex with me and her(seperately)
really pisses me off and makes me hate my friend. Should I get with him(even
though he's a whore) and try to help my friend find someone or
should I just stop hanging out with the friend or the guy or what?
-- = trista

Your friend hasn't done anything wrong. It'd be a shame to stop hanging out with her. In dealing with a man-o-whore, have fun while it lasts but don't get too emotionally invested. He won't be, even if he acts it. Men-o-whore rarely are honest like that. They know how to fake it. That doesn't mean you can't have a good time having sex though. -- Eleanor Roosevelt
