Whenever my best friend comes over, she doesn’t like doing anything. I like her, but I’m always bored.

 

Dear Bored Bud,

Make a list of stuff you like to do—alone and with other friends. Get creative, adding everything from playing Scrabble by the fireplace to making peanut butter brownies. Instead of asking, “What do you want to do?” and getting a shoulder shrug, throw out some suggestions. Or list your top-three faves and pick together.

 

Maybe she just hates making decisions or being put on the spot. If you make it easy for her, she might jump right in. If she isn’t the least bit interested in your ideas and doesn’t offer her own, it doesn’t mean she’s a bad friend. But, you also don’t have to invite a wet blanket over when you’re looking for some fun over winter break. Maybe she’s a good lunch buddy or phone pal. Surely, you have other friends who’d love to come over and hang out.

If I enter a contest and if i enter again the same day, does re-entering make me closer to winning? THX!




Hey girlie,

The way we choose our winners is like this - a computer takes every entry we get, then mixes them all up and chooses ONE at random. So you could win if you enter a bunch of times...but a person who only enters once could win too! We can't tell ya whether you should enter over and over, or just once/ a few times. You gotta do what feels best for you Smile

Softball6, i disagree with the moderator. Use the curler FIRST!!! If you dont, the curler gets full of mascara. Use the curler at the tip, then mildde, and longest at the bottom of your eyelashes!

MOD!
My house is extremely boring, and it is so cold outside. What can i do to have fun? We play vid games, but those r guyish, and my town has nothing interesting. No movie theatres, nothing! What can i do to have some fun?




Hey girlie,

Try inviting your friends over for a fun sleepover - movie marathon themed, a relaxing spa slumber party, even a cookie swap night! Those all involve things you can buy at a local drugstore or supermarket Smile You could also grab a digital camera and go around town with your friends, trying to see who can take the "best" or "most artsy" or "coolest" photo. That can be SO fun because it makes you see your "boring" town in a new way! You should also read this article of 60 things to do when you're bored for ideas!

Hey girl,

You need to catch him IN PERSON, not online or through texts. First, apologize for being so aggressive and not trusting him when he didn't call. Then tell him you're not happy with how you both dealt with that fight and you want to know what's really going on with him. Tell him you understand you could both use space sometimes and family does sometimes get in the way, but running away from a fight/problem isn't the way to deal with it. Try to be open and understanding - make sure he knows you really do want to know what has been bothering him. It's hard to say exactly what it could be (we can't read his mind), but it's WAY important to talk about your problems in relationships so you can work through them!
