Enchanted

Basically, I just started working at my local hospital doing some admin work. I went to the canteen/cafeteria alone for my lunch break on Monday and this really cute guy sat at a table close to me. I was making some notes at the time and I kept on catching him looking at me. Whenever I caught him looking and we shared eye contact for a second, he'd quickly look away and go on his phone. This same thing happened yesterday except I smiled at him. I also saw him later in the day while running some errands and I disocvered he works in the HR department, and he glanced at me some more. Today however, I got really close to approaching him but I chickened out last minute.

At 19, I'm one of the youngest people working at the hospital and I think he's of a similar age . Also, I feel like I know him from somewhere else, maybe school or college?

Either way, I really want to try and approach him and possibly strike up a conversation. But the problem is that while I'm confident, I'm very shy and I get nervous talking to new people. I've asked some of my girlfriends about this and they've told me to sit at the same table as him, but since there's always tables free I feel that would be awkward. I just want to approach him in a way that doesn't seem too forward or creepy, and hopefully this will initiate a conversation and one flirting so we can get to know each other better.

Please help me out!

I'm 17 years old and I've never had a boyfriend. I'm a very reserved person so this doesn't bother me, I actually really enjoy being single! But when people do ask me out I get nervous and reject them. Mainly because the commitment scares me and I don't know how to be a good girlfriend. Plus I have very low self esteem sometimes and I'm afraid this will scare the guy off. I'm also in my final year of school and I'm going to University next year.

Anyway, last night I went to my friends (they're twins) 18th birthday party and I met this guy who is a mutual friend but he doesn't go to the same school as the rest of us. This is one of the first guys I've met that I've really liked. It started off when I made a bet and I said I'd buy him a drink if he won. He did so I bought him a drink and he bought me one later on. When I've had a drink, the low self esteem vanishes and I feel so much better about myself. We hung out and talked for the rest of the night and we swapped numbers (nothing happened).

I have a feeling he'll ask me out but I'm so inexperienced in this that I'm afraid, even though I really like him. I don't want it to distract me from my schoolwork etc.

Help!!??

Basically I did that whole quest to cure Kodlak. I killed all the witches but only took 1 head. After I completed curing Kodlak I never got a quest given to me by Vilkas or Falkas to cure them. I went back and collected the rest of the witches heads. But now they're just giving me side quests and when I go to the tomb it doesn't let me activate the fire. I can't go back to my old save as I've done other stuff since then. I'm stuck! Help!

I'm 17 years old and I've always been self-concious about how I look. I had wonky teeth, acne etc. But I got braces and went on medication a few years ago, so now I feel those problems have been fixed.

Despite this, I've always suffered from low self-esteem, to the point where I've had counselling to try and help it.

I've always dreamed that someone one day would find me beautiful. I've never had a boyfriend and I feel like I never will sometimes.

Thanks,

Louise

I'm a 17 year old girl and I was just curious about something.

From a young age I've my jaw has been positioned slightly more to the my left, meaning that when I talk and smile my mouth is subtly to the left, while retaining a full smile. If that makes sense?

I just wanted to know your opinion on it? Is it attractive? Cute? Does it add personality? A lot of guys have commented on how much they like my smile so I just wondered.

I'm 17 years old and I feel like I'm on the edge now. Basically, I've always had problems mentally. I was bullied from childhood and I had counselling to help my self-esteem. But when I turned 15 I finally grew a tough skin and the bullying doesn't bother me now. I'm about to enter my final year of school but now I'm having problems with depression, and it's been going on for years. My family have never understood me as I'm different, unlike them I am strongly religious and I have my own philosophy and passions. My dad is insulting and has a split personality. He's nice around friends but really horrible to me, he takes out all his work stress on me. Then he tries to be nice for a few days, but after that he goes back to his usual self, he also never listens and always thinks about himself. My mum understands me to an extent, I'm definitely closest with her. But she never sticks up for me and I think she wishes that I was a "normal teenager", as I have "weird" philosophy compared to her. For example, I won't date till I'm 18 as I don't think teenage relationships work and are a waste of time and I also believe in not having sex before marriage. She thinks these rules are strange and doesn't listen to me. My brother is at university so he doesn't live with us but when he's at home I hate it even more. He always takes the opportunity to correct me or better me in an argument to prove he's cleverer than me, he compares us in so many different ways that it lowers my confidence and makes me think horrible things. He really doesn't care about anyone but himself, he obviously gets it from my Dad. I have a lot of friends but they never seem to understand me as I have different interests to them. I also act differently around them so they don't know what's going on. My depression gets worse every time I think negatively, I hit myself, I call myself ugly and fat, I make myself sick, I tell myself that I'll never get married as no one will ever love me etc. It's gotten to the point where I've tried to kill myself a few times by taking an overdose of painkillers. My mum has hidden the painkillers now. I get so angry that I freak out and break things and cry in my room for hours. I just want to die or escape this small town in England that I hate so much. I may be going to university next year but i doubt it'll happen considering how stupid I am. When I'm at my friends houses I usually go into the bathroom and cry because I wish I had parents like them.

I don't know what to do anymore, the only thing that helps me is songwriting. I'm in so much pain and I'm on the brink.

I finish my a-levels next year and traditionally me and my friends are thinking of going on holiday for a week or two. Most British 18 year olds go to party destinations in Europe like Malia, Tenerife, Ibiza etc but I would like to do something different. I'm not much of a party girl and I don't fancy seeing everyone get wrecked on holiday (My brother came back from his "lads" holiday with bruises everywhere).

I'd much rather spend a bit more money and spend a week in Nashville, Tennessee as I've always wanted to visit and I don't think I'll get a chance to go any time soon. Obviously the drinking age in the States is 21 so I won't be able to drink while I'm there which I don't mind as I'm not much of a drinker anyway. I just want to do touristy things and go to some concerts really and get the country music experience.

Due to the price, I doubt many of my friends will want to come, but a couple of my best friends are up for it.

I just want to know if we will be able to stay in a hotel and get to places okay. We'll be 18 by then so I don't see a problem.

Any advice? Is this possible?

Thanks,

Louise

I'm 17, nearly 18 and I just found out that one of my favourite artists, Kacey Musgraves is performing near where I live in the autumn. She's American but not very big in the UK yet. I want to get tickets but the problem is that I have no friends who want to come as they haven't heard of her/or don't like country music. I would imagine the concert would be very mellow as she's a singer-songwriter, its not like a heavy metal concert with a mosh pit.

I'm considering going alone, what's your view and advice on this? I still want to go really badly.

Thanks,

Louise

I'm going on holiday in few days and I'm really self conscious about my body in a bikini. I'm about 5,9 and I weigh about 146 pounds. Am I fat? :(

I'm 17 and to keep it short, my skin has always been problematic. As an early teenager my skin was dry, but when I was 14 I developed some severe acne (its genetic as my dad had it). Because of this I went on medication for my acne and now its cleared up and I only get the occasional pimple. Since my acne has improved my skin has been very combination, so I have dry areas and oily areas. Because of this I've always had problems with foundation as it sticks to dry spots on my face but my skin gets oily in about an hour.

Now my skin is as oily as ever, and I feel like I've tried everything. I look after my skin really well, I wash and cleanse it twice a day, I exfoliate 3 times a week, I wear a light amount of makeup. I have also tried numerous primers and setting sprays and they still don't stop the oil coming through after an hour. I blot and powder during the day but this makes my makeup go really cakey. It's just disgusting as it looks like a have a thin layer of water on my face.

Also, I think the excess oil has made me develop these little sweat pimples on my forehead. They aren't whiteheads, just small pimples. They aren't noticeable but they are still a pain.

What's annoying is that I have friends who don't look after their skin that well and yet their makeup looks flawless all day and they don't have to touch up at all.

I'm about to give up and invest over a hundred pounds into buying a Clarisonic Mia as I hear these work like magic. What advice would you give? How can I prevent the oil? Will the Clarisonic Mia help control this oil? Is it just hormones and will the oil stop eventually?

Thanks,

I'm 17 years old and I've recently been thinking about changing my first name and/or middle name.

I am English and my first and middle name is Louise Jayne. I've never liked my first name as I've been teased a lot for it's rhyming in the past and I feel it is a very random choice considering it's very uncommon as a first name in the UK. It's extreemely popular as a middle name though which tends to irritate me as when I meet new people they always say how them or someone they know has Louise as their middle name. It just makes me feel a little dehumanised towards everyone. I also really dislike the dialect and sound of it.

I quite like my middle name so I'll probably keep it but possibly change the spelling so the "y" is omitted. My mum's middle name is Jane so she decided to give me the same name but change it a little. I'm not too fond of this spelling

I know you can change your name if you're over 16 and have your parents permission, but I haven't mentioned it to my parents yet.

In England, we tend to stick to traditional names like James, Emma, Charlotte, Thomas etc but I really want to have a different name, not a silly one, just something nice but unique and uncommon.

I have always admired the names they adopt in the United States, as they use names originated in countries all around the world, so it's a complete mix. I also really love unisex names as they are more dimentional.

Could you give me your advice and some suggestions for names. My surname is Hudson so anything that will go before "Jane Hudson" I will consider.

The names I'm thinking of at the moment include:

Marissa

Larissa

Austin

Sierra

Scarlett

Eva/Evelyn

Summer

Jessica

Alyssa

Amanda

Daniella/Dani

Avia

Emanuelle/Emmy

Emilia

Tessa/Tess

Lea

Clarissa

Which of these names best flow with my middle and last name?
