Top 10 Tips For A Slammin’ Profile!

1. Keep your answers short 'n' sweet. Save that 1,000-word essay on the merits of strawberry vs. raspberry LipSmackers for your first book.

2. No inside jokes, please. Your BFF may have called you Miss Stinky Fish Face ever since you breathed tuna salad on her in third grade but, kinda like farting, it doesn’t play as well in public, ya know?

3. Make sure to leave your personal info out at all times. While we do have private data that only YOU and WE can see, we WILL delete a profile with personal data in public. Safety first at all times, chica.

4. Be yourself! We love ya just the way you are. So will everyone else.

5. Check back to keep your profile updated. We know you’re always changing…and so are we!

6. Pick the most unique icon you can find. You’re unique. Your icon should be, too.

7. Use humor. Bring on the funny!

8. Nix the negativity. Your profile is a place to share, not to bash. And do you really want to be known as the Lauren Conrad of the GL Hills?

9. The best profile is a full one, so answer all the questions. Inquiring minds want to know….

10. Most importantly, have fun! Need we say more?

Hey girl, I suggest for that kid you don't particularly like to just be polite but don't go out of your way to hang with him. When he sees your signals aren't exactly saying you like him like that, he'll catch the drift your friend was lying. If he comes forward and asks you out, just tell him that while you're flattered, you only see him as a friend. Sometimes it's better to be polite than tell the full truth. As for your crush? Give it time and see if you can hang as friends for now. There's no need to rush into a relationship anyway.

Hey girl,

Sorry about the tough sitch. If he asks you about it, nicely let him know that it was just a misunderstanding between you and your friend - no need to tell him you hate him. He might be disappointed, but at least everything will be clear. I hope the drama passes!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I have big thighs but I am slim. Wut type of jeans and dress would fit my figure?

Hey babe! How about trying a dress that ties or cinches in at the middle to define your slim waist? For jeans I'd try a dark wash that is stretchy through the thigh, and flairs at the bottom.

Hey chica, I think you should let him go. Okay sure he's a hot guy, but think about how hurt your friend would be if you two start dating. The last thing you ever want to do is let a guy come in between your awesome friendship. Keep looking there are plenty cute fish in the sea.

It all depends on who is better for you. If you get along with one better and have more in common with one then go with him. Also its ok to like more than one guy. xoxo kerra

I have a problem i like this boy lets call him bob he is super cool and he acts different around me like he can be himself which i love about him except i hang out with the geeks in school which im proud of but he flirts with me and flirts with everyone but people say its different with me but the problem is i say i hate u to bob all the time because girls in my school are welll realy mean and take something small and turn it into gossip or a lie and my bgf told me he hates me cause he thinks i hate him plz help me ! with all these questions thanks

Hey girl, first thing first, don't tell this Bob guy you hate him. It just isn't nice. Let him know you do like him as a person/friend. As for the flirting, be wary! If he's flirting with a lot of girls, chances are he doesn't have eyes for you but he's just a player and players aren't worth your time.

Hey missy, I think you should wait a couple more weeks, until their breakup is a thing of the past and then make a move.

****MOD MOD MOD**** Two guys like me, (I know because someone told me about one and the other one it's just kinda obvious) and I don't like either of them. I like someone else, but they are already going out with someone. Should I go out with one of the guys that like me, because it might be a great relationship, but the other one would be hurt. And what if it isn't a good relationship, and when I break up with him, I break his heart to pieces? And I REALLY like the guy that is already taken! So do you see my situation, because I think I'm kind of stuck! Please help! I NEED HELP!

Hola chica, since you said you don't like either of the guys who like you, you shouldn't go out with either of them. It's never good to put yourself in a relationship with someone you're not attracted to. I think you should wait for the guy you like to get out of his relationship. One he's a single man, he can be all yours.

Hola chica, mod is just short for moderator. And moderators, like me approve and delete comments anf help you girlies with any questions you might have. We just use mod because it takes less time to write than moderator. Hit me up if you have any more questions.
