  • How do you know if a guy really likes you or not?

    Okay so I really like this guy that I met at band camp. Hes extremely sweet, attractive, extremely smart, got his eagle scout, is a computer programmer, plays the saxophone, and is pretty much very talented and perfect for me. However he doesn't like me back because he wants to be single for a while and told me he doesn't like me in that way. However he acts like he does. Like he texts me till 1 am every day (even on days when he has a test the next day), stops homework just to hang out with me, has texted me during class (and hes into school and stuff), he has always been very quiet around me yet hes usually super outgoing, and has told me extremely personal stuff he said he hasn't told anyone else. In my experiences, guys usually don't do that unless they have some interest. Am I wrong on this? Am I just trying to fish for something that isn't really there? If he doesn't like me then how do I discern whether a guy likes me in the future or not? Thank you in advance!

  • What to do about my relationship?

    Sorry this is so long, I apologize, but please, I need help.

    Okay so for the past couple months I have been at conflict with myself as to what I should do, but now I need people's opinions besides my friends.

    So I have a boyfriend I have been dating for 2 years. We have had our ups and downs, like major ignorance problems and major trust issues, but overall he cares A LOT and doesn't want me to go anywhere. So the conflict started in about October. I started this series of new medications, which was a disaster because I would start sleeping 16 hours a day, get extremely depressed, and all these other symptoms. So everyone was there to support but my boyfriend, and in January he told me, "I don't love you as much because you don't put in as much effort as before". How was I suppose to put in more effort when that's all I did before the medication?! Anyway, a few days later I told him I wanted to break up with him because of everything that happened and what he said (it really offended me), and he freaked out, like he started shaking and went crazy. Now I'm afraid to say anything to him because he might do that weird shaking, go crazy thing if I do! So to continue, I stayed with him, even though problems were still getting worse (ignorance, wouldn't stop "touching" me in public when I wanted him to lay off, and the trust issues). Yesterday we had a big fight, but we somehow worked it out, and things are all better for now.

    During all of this conflict, I have a guy friend I have known for about a year. He is really nice, funny, extremely talented, and has had strong feelings for me for as long as I have known him.However he can't date because of his ex and his parents. So recently I have felt...differently towards him. Like I think about him all the time, keep having these dreams with him in them, I am always happy around him. I'm not afraid of him, and he is open (unlike my boyfriend). I was also really jealous when he was dating his ex and we didn't talk as often as we did before.

    So now I don't really know what to do because I care about both of these guys a lot, yet they both love me. My boyfriend cried over me yesterday (which if you saw him, you would know he isn't the crying type AT ALL), and today my guy friend told me he still loves me. I don't know what to think, what to do about this?

    I'm sorry this is so long, but I really just need advice from a third party. What should I do and what is your definition of love? Thank you!

    P.S: Please, no really mean comments. Thank you! :)

  • Epilepsy support group?

    Okay so about 7 years ago I was diagnosed with petit mal seizures (the ones that last for 3-5 seconds). For most of that time I have been lucky not noticing the seizures due to Lamictal and Zontagran, but ever since I had one myoclonic seizure (where I fell to the floor and jerked all over the place), things have been a lot different. Like now I have switched from my old medicine to 2 others in the course of a 4 month period, and the dosages are always changing. The first medicine they put me on didn't work because I got serious depression and the second one I am currently on hasn't done anything but make the seizures come back! My parents, especially my mom, are very supportive of me with this. It's not like I get made fun of or anything, but everybody besides my mom doesn't know what the kind of seizures I have look like. That's one reason it makes things really frustrating! I also feel like if I let my anger out on the switching of medicines, my friends or family won't really understand because none of them take as much medication as I do.

    I know that I am a lucky case compared to all the other epileptics out there, and I am sorry this is long, but I want to know if there is some website or something out there that will let me talk to other epileptics my age (I'm a senior in high school). It would be nice just to talk to somebody who has the same thing I do.

  • I have a good idea but I need a little help?

    Okay so for this project I have to do for literature, we have to rewrite a scene from Macbeth except in a different time period of our choice. When he said rewrite it, he means everything, like the setting, their clothing, the characters are different, conflicts are different, everything except the theme of the lines stay the same. For example if a new Southern football star (Macbeth) came onto the team, and the media (the witches) were telling him how great he was compared to the old quarterback who was a champion (King Duncan). Well I want to do something like that except with the Greek Gods and Goddesses.

    So my question is this: what do you think the Greek Gods/Goddess terminology would be like? Because I know what they would wear and stuff, but I have no clue how they would speak.

  • What is the name of this song?

    My boyfriend sent me the lyrics to this song but when I asked him the name of the song he said he had no idea, so can anybody give me some suggestions as to what it could be called based on the lyrics so I can listen to it?

    These are the lyrics:

    I love you I like your voice Do you love me? Our eyes met by chance That was the beginning I heard the sound of something changing deep in my heart Going down a street for the first time I doubt even a lost puppy Would understand this confusion I can’t go back now Because I hear your voice in my spirit I close my eyes, and even though we’re far apart You’re the only one who understands Realizing the feelings hidden in my eye By a deep sea with nobody around In a world where not even the sound of the waves beaches Instead of words, a thousand mysteries will unfold Someday You’ll find a me that you don’t know My love! Until yesterday I went along Not even caring what your name was But in that instant, time came to a halt I’m a new person The key to forever will be locked In a maze, if there is Someone in your arms Sensing the feelings wavering in my eyes In a green forest with nobody around In a world where you can’t even hear the sound of the wind

    I’ll give you a single answer with My lips Don’t bother trying to pretend You can’t hear me My love! Realizing the feelings hidden in my eyes By a deep sea with nobody around In a world where not even the sound of the waves reaches Instead of words, a thousand mysteries will unfold Someday You’ll find a me that you don’t know My love!

  • Can someone help me find a project facilitator for senior thesis?

    Okay, so at my school we have to do a senior thesis about what career I want to pursue when I am older, and they require us to have a project facilitator. I want to do my project on accounting, and since I don't know any accountants, my teacher told me I should cold call educators and see if they would agree to be my project facilitator. The problem is, for the past three hours I have been looking for people from collage websites, Google, I even created a Linked In account (can't see the info and names of info), but I only got three names for my senior thesis. So I am wondering: can somebody give me tips as to what to do? I have no clue where else to look, and what else do y'all think I should say when I'm calling the person?

  • How do you define love?

    I mean I have my own definition of love, which depending on the context is a deep feeling of caring and compassion for someone or something. However, I was looking up definitions for physics and when I typed in "define" on the Google search bar, the first search it suggested for me was "define love". So I am just curious as to what people think about this.

  • How can you have strep throat with no symptoms?

    My boyfriend went to the doctor today and his doctor said that he had strep throat when he not only felt fine but he never coughed, sneezed a lot, had a temperature, had a crackly voice, or any of the symptoms of strep throat. So now I'm thinking that he is forced to stay home tomorrow because a doctor said he had strep throat when he feels fine. Can someone please explain to me how that works?!

  • Which Class Should I Take: Psychology or Spanish 3?

    Okay so at this time my school is applying for classes next year. I am currently a junior, so I have next year and then I'm done with high school forever. Anyway, so my freshman and sophomore year I did Spanish 1 and 2 for my required language courses. Making the worst decision ever, I skipped Spanish 3 this year because I was tired of the Spanish classes, no offence to Spanish speaking people here on Yahoo. Now everybody is telling me to take Spanish 3 instead of the class I want to take: Psychology. I plan to go to a university, so I did my research, and most of the ones I want to go to (Like UGA and UCLA for example) require 2 years but recommend 3. I already took those 2 years required though. So do y'all think I should take Spanish 3, even though I might do terrible because I barely remember Spanish, or the class I actually want to take which is Psychology? Any advice welcome and thank you so so much! :)

  • How Do I Solve These Physics Problems?

    Okay so my physics teacher didn't explain anything properly and he gave my class homework about word problems I have no idea how to solve (and I am a pretty smart person). I have looked in my book, my notes, asked my classmates, and looked on the internet and still have no idea how to work the problems! Here is the main questions I am having trouble with though:

    A 1000 N crate is moved 5 m by a pulley system. The length of the rope is 20 m. What is the effort applied, how much work in/ work out is required, and how many pulleys does it take to move the crate?

    Please I would appreciate any help given! Thank you! :)

  • Is weight really that important?

    Okay so my grandma and my brothers keep making fun of my boyfriend because he is overweight. My grandma says I deserve better, one of my brothers called my boyfriend a monster, and the other was like, "Your boyfriend is really nice, but he is very ugly because he is so fat." It really upsets me because my boyfriend is a really nice guy! He is never mean to anybody, he has been there for me no matter what, and he cares a lot. I was reading what people said about overweight people on Yahoo, and I don't understand why people have a problem with it! I mean it doesn't affect the person's personality or anything. It just affects how they look, but does weight really matter that much? Has society made it so that people always have to be conscious about a simple thing as weight?! So my questions are:

    How can I get my family to stop criticizing my boyfriend for his weight?

    Why does it really matter how much someone weighs?

    Thank you in advance!

  • Should I Ditch Him Because He Ditched Me?

    Okay so today is finals week so all the students can leave home early. Well I decided to stay after just because my boyfriend had to stay after (or so I thought), and I wanted to be a good girlfriend and hang out with him. Well guess what he decides to do?! He decides to go check out early with his friend and leave me at the school by myself. So my boyfriend ditched me basically! Luckily my mom was in the area so she could pick me up, but still I am very hurt by this! He even said, "Oh you can still text me and talk to me so there will be no worries." That made me feel even worse! I mean I love him a lot, like he is always there when I am really sad and gives comfort, protects me, isn't a pervert, and is faithful to me, but he shouldn't just ditch me right? I mean my friends say I should ditch him in return, but I don't feel that's the right thing to do! What do y'all think I should do?

  • What should I get him for Christmas?

    Okay I know this question is asked a billion times, but I am desperate! Okay so I want to get my boyfriend something for Christmas and I tried to think of things he might want, but nothing stands out! So here are a few things about him:

    He is a musician (like me) so he obviously likes music. He is also an artist, loves video games and technology stuff (like programming robots and jazz like that).

    I am also not a cook and already did the scrapbook and poem ideas for other events in our relationship (we have been dating for over 13 months) so neither of those things I can make him.

    Thank you so much in advance! :)

  • Is my phone completely dead or can it still be saved?

    Okay so I was at this creek, and I accidentally slipped in the creek with my phone in my pocket (I know: very stupid). Now I know I am suppose to put it in rice to get all the moisture out, but I couldn't put my phone in rice right away because I was far away from home, so about 20 minutes later I put my phone in the rice. Will the phone still work even though I put it in the rice 20 minutes later and how long am I suppose to keep it in the rice?
