Like most people, I was given a "test" to see which eye was dominant.

For those who don't know or have had a different test, this is what mine went like:

I was told to look at an object in the distance, then I was told to hold my thumb over it. However each time I put my thumb over the object I'd feel a movement in my eyes and immediately the object was visible again.

What I eventually did was, close my left eye and put my thumb over the object, then I would open my right eye and bam, the object would appear, then I tried it with my other eye and the same thing happened.

After the test I would start to look at objects and purposely switch dominant eyes. I feel the change in my eyes when I switch dominance and when I do this I don't have to think about maintaining that eye as the dominant eye, it is as if I have a button in my head to switch dominant eyes.

after the test I have been playing around with this, (I don't know if that's a bad idea or not...) and now when I test my eye dominance I can make it so that one eye is dominant (so the object will actually be covered) and then at will change my eye dominance and make the object re-appear.

I have asked friends to observe my eyes while I do this (make my eye dominance change) and all of them have told me that they see a sudden "jolt" in my eyes but that's it, for a second my eyes just vibrate rapidly and then it returns back to normal as if nothing has happened. However I still feel myself looking out of the other eye.

So this is my problem, I am 18 years old and I have just recently started to hang out with friends often. The reason I am just starting to hang out with people more frequently is because I now have my own car and licence before I'd have to get rides from my parents which they could not provide often.

So they always tell me about how important it is to build strong friendships that will last a lifetime. (both my parents have just recently found friends from as young as kindergarten on facebook and now they talk all the time, really goes to show how great their friendships where.) they tell me stories of how they hung out all night together within their group of friends when they where as young as 12 to when they left to go to university. I however am expected to be at least on my way home by 7:00 no matter how far away my friends live, whether it's next door or across town...

Then when I get home they ask why I came home so early... I tell them that it's because they told me too (they will even phone me at 7:00pm). So how would I go about asking my parents to stay out later?? I realize all parent are different but some advice would be much appreciated or ideas of how my parents reason their judgement.

I don't expect to be allowed to be out all night as I know my parents would be up all night waiting for me, but at least until 9:00 pm or maybe 10:00 pm.

Also my parents know that I don't drink when I am with friends and that I don't do any drugs, they know my friends and are fine with them. They also know that I am a safe driver, passed my drivers test with no mistakes what so ever and they have been in the car with me and know that I don't speed or anything. My friends even tease me for this but I'd rather them tease me and feel safe with me then have them be scared of me driving.

thanks in advance and please serious answers only.

sorry this is long put could you please answer?

Before I went to sleep I wasn't thinking of anything in particular as I went to sleep extremely late. I just got into bed and drifted off into a nice long sleep.

My dream was very weird consisting of people I know very well in real life and also characters from animated tv shows. This was by far one of the weirdest dreams I have ever had. The setting was in my house, more specifically my basement. ( I don't even go to my basement often...)

It felt as a long dream seeing as their was a build up to why I was with my crush and some friends in my basement. My dream began with a war/conflict, after a series of events I was told that I had to lead a group of soldiers to an objective and that I was probably going to die regardless if the mission was a success of not. (I have never wanted to even be part of the military or anything that has to do with guns/wars.)

Anyways I ended going to my basement with friends to get ready and to tell them that this was probably the last time I was going to ever see them. ( in all honesty if I ever had to do something like this I probably wouldn't tell my friends as I can't stand goodbyes).

anyways while in my basement my friends where bugging me about never having the guts to tell this girl that I liked her and when she walked in my friends told her I had something to say to her.

I came right out and told her (in real life I don't think that I could as I don't want to risk losing her as a friend.) After I told her she smiled, told me that she liked me back and kissed me after that kiss I held her in my arms and kissed her again. Then I woke up.

I wrote down what I remembered from the dream as I was interested in why it happened but it really started to bug me.

The reason it's bugging me is because I have hung out with different friends this summer (my crush and her family went to on a trip for basically the whole summer). Anyways one of my girl friends has been trying to set me up with her friend and just as I was starting to move on from the girl I have a crush on and start to get a little interested in this new girl I have this dream.

Also a couple of days before I had a dream that I was watching a sunset with my crush, I had my arm around her and we where just watching the sunset before I woke up I looked her in the eyes and we both smiled.

my question is could these dreams mean anything?

to put it simply: You could be flirting with this guy all day and he still wouldn't be sure if you liked him or not and he wouldn't know what to do either way...

just to make this easier.

Girl A = close friend

Girl B = friend of close friend

Guy A = random guy

So I was at a friends party where there were people I knew and other that I didn't know. During the party Guy A was sitting with his arm around Girl B. While I was talking to some friends Girl A came and showed me Guy A and Girl B together, she then asked me if I was jealous I answered that I wasn't (she knows that I like another girl). A while later I was sitting with some friends outside on the steps and both Girl A and Girl B came out to join us. Girl A sat beside me while Girl B sat on my lap. I didn't say or do anything about it because it was either sit on my lap or stand. Anyways while she was sitting on my lap she put her hand on mine. I didn't say anything then either because it seemed unintentional. this morning Girl A texted me asking if I liked Girl B and I told her that I didn't and reminded her about my feelings for the other girl.

so my question is does Girl B like me? (she doesn't really know me) the reason I am asking this is because Girl A keeps texting me about it. I didn't think Girl B liked me so I didn't say anything but now I feel like I've led her on... and feel kind of bad about it.

For the most part I am happy with who I am except that I fell I'm too cold. Not cold as in feeling cold but as in I just don't show emotion at all. I have never felt true fear, I've been startled before but that's it (I kind of twitch for a second to stare at whats surprised me). I have seen sad things in and out of school and I am always the only person who never cries, (even my teachers how have seen the videos before cry).

what can I do to become more sensitive? I wan't to be a doctor when I grow up. So for me it's really important to be able to better understand what my patients are going through as I know it will motivate me to do everything in my power to help them, it will make me a better doctor.

its been almost over week since I have had my wisdom teeth removed (all 4). I haven't felt any pain except for my jaw..

I have noticed that I can't fully open my jaw (it only opens about an inch). I have been having trouble eating because of this since I can't actually get food into my mouth. My jaw really hurts when I try to yawn.

Is this normal? nothing else hurts just my jaw. I have tried to slowly open my jaw by force (small amount of force and bit by bit) but it's as if I am physically incapable of doing so, as if my body won't let me open my mouth.

any advice??

So yesterday morning I got all for of my wisdom teeth removed. The thing that concerns me is that I have felt no pain or discomfort, aside from the numbness immediately afterwards. I have had a lot of blood/saliva but other then that I seem to be fine is this just luckiness or could something have gone wrong? I hear that this procedure hurts a lot and also that sometimes the surgeons can accidentally damage a nerve?

Should I go see my dentist/surgeon or just be happy and not worry about it?

So up until know I have been getting 85+ average in all my classes, I have enough for early admission and direct entry. If I were to start trying in grade 12 would that be to late?

I never studied in my life and all my life people have told me I could do so much better, teachers even believe I could get an average of 100%. I have just never been motivated.

anyways my question is. Would Universities notice? [this is in Canada]

would I be able to get scholarships with these grades?

So I have recently noticed that when I am doing sports outside of school I tend to do worse then when I am at school. When I am at school I am able to run 800 meters like its nothing, but when I do this on my own I don't seem to do so well [I can still run it, just I am more tired afterwards].

It's not just running, but I thought it was the easiest example.

any thoughts of why this happens?

*I am 200 pound male 17 years old.

*I am not all fat...

- I have run 800 meters at my schools track and field day and won against "athletic" people, . when I finish they are more out of breath than I am.

- I have won 100 meter sprints as well.

*I am able to bench 150 pounds fairly easily.

--------

What I am planning on doing is the following:

1) bike for an hour everyday as a minimum, I love biking so I will probably do more {going at least 30km/h}

2) Cut off all carbonated drinks - I actually eat healthy food, I love fruits and vegetables.

3) walk my dog every morning {probably 25 minutes.}

4) Jump rope for 30 minutes {actually going hard thought}

5) do 100 crunches a night {I have done this before, just never been motivated enough to continue}

6) maybe 50 push ups.... really suck at these.

what do you think? is this good? how long would it take? and any suggestions?

what are easy ways to flirt with a girl you like if you are shy? or subtle ways of letting you know that you like her?

Alright so today I broke the touch barrier with this girl I really like. (normally this isn't hard, but with this girl I really like I have been so afraid to do something stupid....)

we where talking in our morning class and I don't really know what happened (I felt like I was just being controlled by something else), we started kind of wrestling [she started it, I wasn't hurting her at all] and for the rest of the morning we just had a great time talking.

Later during our lunch break we were at the park and she told me that she was cold. Normally i'd offer her my sweater but I didn't have it with me. So I really didn't say anything or do anything, except keep the conversation going.

so my question is: was this her basically asking/telling me to put my arm around her? to keep her warm.

[when we were wrestling I noticed that my body temperature is a lot warmer, she was cold...(most people are colder then me, I have never met someone who didn't feel cold to me)].

--Lets say I did miss my chance here, would a girl hold this against me??

please serious answers only.

Okay so there is this girl who I am very close friends with, we have known each other for 4 years, and since the end of the school year (last years) I have started feeling stronger emotions towards her. She doesn't know I like her. However I think she may be starting to like me in more of a boyfriend type of way.

today she did something that makes me think that she just wanted an excuse to get closer to me.

We both are in a Latin course, she gets 90+ and I get 80 (if I am lucky....[honestly I only took the course to be with her, but we have assigned spots so I am not able to sit with her]).

anyways today she randomly asked to check her answers with me,

-She gets way better marks, so I don't get why she would check her answers with me....[except to get closer]. Also she was standing very close to me, [our bodies where touching (=/ wow i feel like some sort of creeper when I say that)]. then for the rest of the day she just was standing or sitting beside me. In one of our other classes she asked the teacher if we could go to another room so that we could concentrate on our homework. {we didn't actually have homework and we just spent the class talking}.

I really wan't to ask her out, but her parents are extremely protective [I think she would say yes, but she would have to hide it from her parents. I don't want to cause any problems between her and her parents], also I don't mind just spending time at school together, we basically do that anyways.

What should I do?/ how should I go about doing this?

Recently I have been hanging out with many of the different "groups" at my school. I have made a lot of friends and am fitting in well. But I have noticed that when a friend from one group comes and hangs with me in a different group everyone gets awkward and quite.

lets say there are 3 groups. A, B and C

A friend from group A comes with me to hang with my friends in group B, suddenly everyone from group B gets quite and awkward. then they try really hard to impress the person from group A (especially when its a girl...).

Is this normal? ( to the point where they can barely say a word...)

is there anything I can do??

I don't like making my friends feel bad, I also want them to meet other people. back to the groups

A would have about 4-5 people. B might have 6 and C has about 10. ( This is just from one class, the numbers increase with each grade going from grades 9-12)

anyways I just wish they could all just hang out, they really do have a lot in common, but they try to stay in their respective groups.

how can I tell the difference?

I have gotten close a friend for a year now, ( I have known her for 3 years now..)

we talk everyday during and in between classes. we bus home together and on the days I can use my parents car, we drive around and talk.

lately i've started watching a tv show and have started seeing her face in it. (the main character is female and resembles my friend both physically and intellectually/mentally. they even wear similar clothing...

I have also started just seeing her though other girls.

like when I talk to another girl when I look into their eyes, I see her. Before sleeping I find myself thinking about her (not sexually,) about being with her, talking to her, stuff we have talked about.

We always have fun together, on days where one of us is upset we always find a way to make each other smile and laugh. I don't text her as she does not have a phone. (if she did I would want to text her all day).

what do you people think?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I just want to hear other people's opinions on this.

on a scale of 1-10 [10 being the highest]

how much do you want to have sex??

alright so before people start thinking I am f**cked up. I just want to state my reasons.

I have noticed that the majority of people around me only talk about wanting to have sex. They have become obsessed about it. It just happened suddenly and now it's all I hear. so this is why I am asking the question.

also how important is sex to you in a relationship?

I personally would put sex around 1. I don't really care if it happens then it happens but I don't obsess over it.

In a relationship I am not looking for sex, but rather someone I could honestly say I care about, and that I would want to be there for them no matter what and hope they are always there for me.

Alright so I am one of those people who are listening to music whenever possible. with headphones (cans)

and my question is what does this mean to you?

to me it means a couple of things:

1) I am LISTENING to music and I can't hear you....

2) really not in the mood for talking (unless you're important to me)

3) if I am putting them on when with a group of people it means I really don't agree with what your saying but I am not going to bother trying to change your mind.

okay so my school went to an event in another part of the city and anyone was allowed to go they just needed their own transportation.

I had a car and I was planning on going, a girl I like asked me to drive her/us there and I agreed. so as we where heading to our car another group of friends asks for a ride and before I could say anything she said no.

(important- I really didn't want them to come with us, as I wanted to be alone with her but I didn't know how to tell them that without them getting pissed with me [100% 2 of them like her as well])

anyways so we had a great time both on the drive there and back.

so my question is, does this mean she like me back??

i'd ask her but it happened over a week ago and something a friend said today made me think about it. ( I think it's kind of late to ask about it)
