I met her, I don't remember where, but about 5-6 years ago. I started liking her about a year and a half ago and I think she likes me at this point. I have some 'issues' with my parents on this topic and I am working a plan to get them used to the idea, but it takes time and I don't know how much time I have... I mean, I love this girl to death and I would love to tell her so, but I'd have to do the whole 'secret relationship' thing and that wouldn't fly... I cannot stand the thought of her going out with some other guy, it would kill me. But I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here... My dad is pretty cool, and I think he'd be ok with it, but my mom is very... eh... er... You get the idea, she's particular. So, I mean, I gotta do this, no other way. Please feel free to email/IM your answer and/or for more info. Thanks :)

I have have been up late at night into early morning 4-5 A.M. and doing all-nighters because I am up to my eyeballs in schoolwork... I have fallen asleep doing math and so-on... I eat lots of sugar and salt and drink tea/coffee for caffeine, but it's wearing me down. My mom gets really mad when I don't do enough though and she won't let me go skiing until it's finished. We don't get even a week for Christmas vacation, we get Christmas day. I really need a new plan for how to manage my time and all that. I have a hard time concentrating for numerous reasons, but that's a whole new can of worms. Please be polite in the comment thread and if you want to know more/ask something either email or IM me. Thanks.

I have known this girl for a long time (as in 5+ years) and about 1.5 years ago I started to like her, of course I've had plenty of random 'crushes' so I thought nothing of this at first. To make a long story short, I'm 14 and she's 13, for about a year I have hardly been able to stop thinking about her, not that I's really want to... Anyway, we were at a youth event she wanted to sit next to me instead of her girl-friends. Not only did that rock my world, but she and I were joking all that night (all-night youth event) and I was feeling right on top of myself. I had everything right where I wanted it and then the event was over. She is a very beautiful girl if you ask me and very nice. Now I have some family issues with all this so that could be some of my problem... But most of the time when we go anywhere where we coincide, I have siblings/parents there... Then there is the predominant fear of rejection. I am about 70% sure she likes me too, but that 30%... We 'flirt' back and forth, but some of that is very low level and hard to understand. I have several issues of my own that I think would be a lot easier to deal with if I had this load off my back. So...

How would I make sure she likes me back?

What is a good way to tell her that I like her?

Parental issues??

The last thing I want to do is make myself look like an idiot in front of/to her.

Any sane, rational advice is welcome, thanks.

The title says it all, I can't find many. Just looking for ideas. I am not interested in songs about how one was betrayed by the other and feels better off. I like hard rock / medium metal. Thanks for any ideas.

This is going to be long, sorry. My parents, especially my mom, confuse me. She'll be talking about how I will be surrounded by the girls I know and then just minutes to hours later, she'll take a complete turn and start talking about how glad she is that I'm not one of those people who has a girlfriend way too early. The other side of this is, I really... REALLY, like a girl I know, but I can't say anything to her because of my mom. I realize that her wisdom needs to be honored, but she seems to be saying two different things interchangeably, My mom will start by saying one thing and, in just a few minutes, turn entirely and start in on the exact opposite. She also says she wants to be easy to talk to, but gets upset very easily and therefore makes me feel a lot less comfortable telling her that she feels I am not exactly the guy she thinks I am. She is so proud that none of us have 'broken the ice' in the area of dating and all that. I am going to turn 15 in January and I wonder if she will realize that I'm older and more mentally mature than she assumes. As I said, I realize that I need to honor her wisdom, but that doesn't always make diplomatic relations much easier. We don't get along very well anyway, I am a succinct person and she likes to be very detailed and even flowery. I am a very mathematical person and I tend to over-think sometimes. I think of every result to everything whenever I can. Another issue I have is that my mom really doesn't like the girl I do, I tried dropping it, forgetting about thinking of her that way and everything I could, but to no avail. So, I just act like nothing is going on and my mom, being the naive, even thick person she is, seems to be missing the whole thing..

So my questions are;

1)How could I get the idea across to my mom that I'm not 8 anymore?

2)How can I tell my mom how trapped her "I'm glad you're not like those other people who..." statements make me feel?

3)How can I express to my mom how much this girl means to me?

4)How should I do the above, all at once or spaced nicely, or what?

If you have any other ideas/comments please feel free to share.

Please don't post if you don't know or if you're going to be rude.

Thanks =D

I have an old vivtar vivicam 3785 and a windows vista home basic laptop. I want to know if and how I can use my digital camera as a webcam. I know you can use a few of vivtar's higher models as such, but this one draws a blank. Thanks!

I know this girl (have known her for 4-5 years in a acquaintance type thing (I don't even remember where I met her o.O)) but I have feelings for her and I think she feels the same way, I do not want to be rejected by her and to complicated matters further, my parents won't let me have that kind of relationship and they don't like her. I would literally do anything in my power for her. So, it's been about a year with us flirting lightly (she jokes sarcastically and play growls...) by the way, I'm 14 and she's 13, I know it's young, but no matter how I try, I cannot stop having feelings for her. You know I feel this way, but I gotta say it, she is totally awesome! Anyway, I kinda stalked her for a while until I learned a lot of her info and all that. She and I both ski, she goes on Saturday, I go everyday. She goes to the mountain with little kids normally and I just go along, she doesn't leave me out of much unless she's with her 'girlfriends', then I cease to exist. We were hiking a mountain in a group once and we left the group and hiked by ourselves, she was happy enough to do so and we conversed all the way down. She was talking about how she is and how she jokes sarcastically when she's comfortable and all that and started joking and all that. So, needless to say, I took that as a sign that she was a bit interested in me.

My main questions are (if you need clarification, just ask.):

From data provided:

Does it seem to you as though she like me?

What should I do to let her know for sure without making my parents really mad?

How should I tell my parents about this (when I do)?

When should I tell my parents?

Anything else positive to say?

Please keep all comments free of obscenity and disrespect. Thanks all!

I just need some jokes that I could pull out of nowhere and be corny, but funny. They need to be good, clean, appropriate ones. Thanks guys!

Okay, I know a girl, her name is Heather. I've known her for 3-4 years. About 1.5 - 1,7 years ago, I started liking her. I thought I would get over it and it wasn't worth getting my parents mad and possibly hurting our regular friendship. Now I cannot be anywhere near her without losing approximately half of my coordination. I 'flirt' with her when I can, but when she is with some of her friends (some of who are real jerks) I do not exist. I must have some kind of cloaking device that activates when she is near her friends. It annoys me to no end. She acts like she likes me when she is not near her friends, making the whole thing very confusing. I don't know what to do or say. The major parts of the question are,

Does she like me?

Should I verbally tell her I like her?

Should I tell my parents knowing they will be mightily ticked?

Am I being too sensitive about her and her friends?

Am I thinking too much?

Any other advice? (all is welcome and appreciated)

No rude comments please. :)

I know how to use code such as

y = 4

x = 3

xy = x * y

But what I need to know is how to make it find 'y' as in

x = 3

xy = x * y

xy = 12

and have Python find the value of 'y'. If you do not know, DO NOT POST... Thank you for your help

I am using Python 2.6.2.

I've known this girl for 3+ years, she is in my youth group. I've liked her for about a year and just tried to convey that non-verbally. So far it's working, but I keep wondering if I should tell her how I feel. Please be niceand If you can't think of a relevant answer, please don't post. Thank you.
