My best friend's older sister asked me to be a bridesmaid! The wedding is really laid back, since the couple has been together for thirteen years, and the bride told us to buy our own dresses; they had to be long and black and look like bridesmaids' dresses, but that was all. I went and found a dress that fit the description--it was the only thing in my price range that did. The only problem is that it's a size too small. The wedding is in a week and I need to fit in the dress enough so that it zippers and doesn't make me look like the "chubs" that my boyfriend ["lovingly"] calls me. Please help!

What is the highest decibel level you can hear before you die from it?

I live in southern Montana in a small farming community. My parents arranged a marriage between me and another boy in my class. We're 16 years old, and we're going to marry before he goes to college. So...are we dating now then? Or are we free to see other people until we're officially engaged?

I'm in the ghost tower and I just battled my rival. I used my Pikachu a bunch, and it leveled up to 30 during the battle, but then as soon as all my rival's pokemon had fainted, it evolved to a riachu. I don't have a thunderstone on my person. How did this happen? Do I want this to happen?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for five months, and he invited me to his parents' house for his dad's birthday. My boyfriend and I have not had sex and do not plan to do so before we get married, but his parents live in a nudist colony. So...what do I wear to their house?

My boyfriend of seven years (we've been dating since freshman year of college and are now both in grad school) broke up with me tonight at dinner, telling me that he doesn't think there's any fire left in our relationship. I was just about to tell him that I was pregnant.

I am so screwed. No pun intended. I told my mom, and she said that I could move back in with her, but I really don't want to. I want my baby to have a father, and I still love its biological one. Is it wrong to try to trap him into marrying me by telling him I'm pregnant, even though I actually am?

It's been a year since my ex broke up with me, and I'm with another guy now. My new boyfriend and I have been dating for four months and we're pretty serious, and I'm completely over my ex boyfriend. I have no romantic feelings in him whatsoever; in fact, I kind of wonder what I ever saw in him in the first place. However, I still have this feeling in the back of my mind that I want my ex boyfriend to be jealous of my current boyfriend. Is that normal? Is that bad? I feel really mean for even thinking stuff like that, not to mention I'm scared that it means I'm not really as over him as I thought....

My boyfriend and I live on the same floor together at school, but over the summer, we'll be four hours apart. As it is now, I usually get to see him and talk to him at least three or four hours a day, and we get a lot of alone time every week, but over the summer, he's going overseas for a study-abroad and I'm going to be working full-time so we'll hardly ever see each other. I didn't see him at all today because we kept missing each other and now I'm trying to see if I can go a whole day without seeing him, and I don't think I can. Am I too attached? Are we going to make it through the summer apart?

My friends and I were discussing Steve Carell and whether he made more money off of 40-Year-Old Virgin or the second season of The Office ...
