Relationship Advice For Teens

Dear Dish-It,

I have a problem and I hope you can give me some of your awesome advice! There's this guy I have a huge crush on but I can't figure him out. We went to Epcot together and he was really flirting with me on the way back home. I have seen him recently when I was invited over to his house (by his parents! Not him.) I walked into his room and he told me to make myself comfy, so I did. I was there all afternoon and evening with him watching movies and talking. But I went to his house a couple days later and he didn't say hi and just left. It was like he didn't care I was there or something. What's with that? I need your help with him. How can I turn this crush into a relationship?

Dear lillady4ev,

Okay, I'm going to assume that your crush is a family friend and that's why his 'rents are invitin' you over to their place. And that's also why your crush doesn't feel obligated to stick around when you come over. It sounds like there's definitely some potential for a relationship with this guy but if it's a family friend you're talkin' about, you'll be taking some big risks making a move. If you profess your love and he doesn't feel the same way, it could be awkward between you two for a while. If he does feel the same way, and you guys get together, will you be able to handle it if things don't work out? This doesn't mean don't try to take things to the next level with this guy, just think of the consequences before jumping in. So, try inviting him to hang out on neutral ground - like a local coffee shop, park, etc. This way, he's not going to feel like his parents are making him spend time with you. And if he's excited to chill with ya that way, he's probably crushin' on you too! Good Luck.


So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to .

    Would You Date a Family Friend?

    • Totally! What a great way to meet someone.
    • Only if they were really cute.
    • I don't think so.
    • No way! It'd be like dating my brother/sister.

    "Elegantgirl48" wrote:Start with sunscreen A dewy, fresh complexion is #### and youthful. Starting with a clean face, apply sunscreen to face and neck (see my list of the Top 10 Sunscreens). Rain or shine, you should get in the habit of applying sunscreen every day. I use a tinted moisturizer with SPF 50 (it's on my list) so I don't have to use foundation. Because I have dry skin, I apply moisturizer BEFORE my sunscreen. If you have oily skin, rinse face with warm water and pat dry before applying sunscreen. Apply concealer Dot concealer with your ring finger to the spots that need it most (under the eye, along the nose, on the chin). Blend in by patting in, never rubbing, the concealer (see How to Apply Concealer). Foundation is next Apply a tinted moisturizer or foundation to your face making sure to blend along the jawline so you don't have a tell-tale line. Few people need to apply foundation all over the face (see "How to Avoid Cake Face"). Simply apply where you have uneven skin tone (usually along your nose and on the skin). In wintertime, if your cheeks tend to get ruddy, apply there as well. For more sheer, natural coverage, consider a tinted moisturizer, which goes on much lighter than typical foundations. See my list of the Best Foundation. Blush, bronzer Apply blush on the apples of your cheeks (see How to Apply Blush). If you want to appear sun-kissed, apply a bronzer as well (see How to Apply Bronzer). At this point, I love to use a highlighter pen to brighten my face (see how in this review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. Apply eyeliner Now that your face is set, it's time to make up your eyes. Apply eyeliner to lids. There are many different way to apply eyeliner. You can go for the basic eye, a smokey eye, a cat eye and much more. For a basic eye, simply apply liner to the upper lashes and the lower lashes, smudging along the lower so it doesn't look drawn on. For many more tips on eyeliner, see How to Apply Eyeliner. Apply concealerIf you wear eyeshadow, be sure to set the eye first with an eyeshadow primer, otherwise the shadow will melt into your eyelids. Next is the eyeshadow Just as there are many ways to apply eyeliner, there are many eyeshadow looks you can experiment with. For a basic eye, simply apply a base shade on the lid of the eye. Apply a darker contouring shadow in the crease. Make sure to blend it all in well. For many more tips, see How to Apply Eyeshadow. Curl those lashes Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. You can blast your curler for 3 seconds with a hairdryer to make the curl hold better, just be sure to test the metal to ensure it's not too hot first. Moving on to mascara Apply mascara by wiggling the wand from the roots of your lashes on through to the ends. To perfect your mascara application, check out How to Apply Mascara. Leave your lips for last Once you have your face made up you can see exactly what type of lip treatment you need. You can either fill in lips with lip liner and apply lip balm or gloss over it, or you can line lips first then apply lipstick. Some women opt for just gloss or balm. For more tips on lips, see How to Apply Lipstick. Set your makeup Set your face with loose powder or a spritz of Evian spray. What You Need sunscreen concealer foundation eyeliner eyeshadow primer and eyeshadow bronzer and/or blush (or neither!) mascara and an eyelash curler lipstick, gloss or balm All that is good, but I think you mean you want to try new ideas. You can't exactly try anything new with foundations and concealers and such. This will sound weird, but go to the public library. They should have a section for beauty and hair and nails. You can check out some makeup books, I've learned a lot of new eyeshadow stuff from library books! Watch videos. Try buying bright eyeshadow and blush colors, and just experiment. I like to put an all over color to my eyes, then put little dots of color to the outside corners. Try gold eyeliners, or dark navy blue, or silver eyeliners. Try matte lipsicks, with a gloss over them. Try loose eyeshadow powder, try blush creams, try blush powders. Just look around the makeup aisle wherever you are, and see what kinda stuff they have. I really like BB creams right now, and the Beauty Blender sponge. Sponges work really well for foundations, just make sure to clean them. As for foundations, try powder, cream, foam, liquid, or other ones you see. Sorry I was all over the place, I was just trying to cover a lot.

    First of all, how could it be all your brother's fault? Its my bros fault my mom and dad fight - maybe they just haven't been getting along lately.  its my bros fault my parents r almost divorced - not necessarily, how could your brother cause your parent's divorce? it's because they just haven't been getting along, not because of your brother's existence. its my bros fault that him and my grandpa have a bad relationship - maybe your grandpa and your brother have never really had a good relationship. its my bros fault my dad and my grandpa don't get along - maybe they just have never really gotten along, like my grandma and my dad, they argue sometimes but they still love each other.   its my bros fault the dogs r bad - did your brother abuse the dogs? if so, then you should probably tell your parents. if not ( or if he did abuse your #####, you should take your #### ## # ### trainer to help fight the aggression.  its my bros fault i get in trouble - well that seems logical, most siblings do tell on each other. so don't worry.my bros fault that everything bad happens ALL OF IT - it can't be all your brothers fault.
