I have a crush on this guy but he's 3 years older than me. We've seen each other like twice but we've been emailing and texting each other since, the first time we saw each other. He's called me cute twice. and he asked if I've ever had a boyfriend (I don't know if that means anything) he also said that having many things in common between us was a good thing. =) If we're texting late, he says he doesn't want to keep me up and when we say good night he says sweet dreams. He also asked for a picture of me for his phone ID thing. He's said I'm sweet too, and he defended me when this guy was annoying me.
Does he like me? Is he just flirting? Does all of this mean anything?Please help, love life advice?
it sounds to me like he likes you:)
this is a lot like what my last boyfriend did before we went out:)
very cute, good luck:)Please help, love life advice?
Do people not talk on the phone anymore? Texting is such a lame way of communicating, especially communicating feelings.
Yes, it sounds like he likes you. It also sounds like you should try using your phone as a phone.
Yes, he likes you.
he likes you! (:
He is in love with you... go make him yours!

I need some ';life advice';?
In my life I want to have a very close relationship with God (I'm roman catholic) and I am a teenager who (typically) sins and doesn't want to. I have cleaned up my act a lot lately but still gives into temptation, but I always regret it later (whatever it is). As everybody
does I want to be accepted in modern society but sometimes I destroy my relationship with God to do so. Any advice to help me through these trying times. But that is not all I feel alone in this world and I really don't have anybody to talk to these things about so I want to be accepted and have God be prevalent in my life. Thanks for any and all advice and, well, God bless!!!!!!!!!!I need some ';life advice';?
Dan, don't give in to the haters. Catholicism is not only christian but is the original form of christianity going back to Matthew 18:15-18. Also read John 6:51-56 and 1 Corinthians 11-23-29 and I think you would agree that what is written there resembles more a Catholic mass and the Eucharist than any other explanation.
As for your struggles in purity - you are human and young - and the struggles are natural. Remember that Satan creates nothing (God alone is the creator) but he perverts and twists. Hence, food is not evil, but its abuse in gluttony is; sex is not evil, but its abuse in pornography, premarital sex, and infidelity are. Sin is not about rules broken but a severing or abuse of a relationship (with God or others).
Remember that the difference between a saint and a sinner is that the saint falls but then gets back up. Jesus fell many times carrying the cross and still got back up(he was not a sinner but gave us many wonderful examples of perseverance in our faith walk), Peter denied the master three times and yet became the rock on which Christ built his church. We all sin, we all fail - just get back up, ask for forgiveness and make a heartfelt intention to do better and sin no more. And when you fail again - He will be there to catch you. He always does.
Feel free to write if you need more. You will find really good stuff on www.catholic.comI need some ';life advice';?
God loves you for just trying to be a good christian and trying to have a good relationship with him.
It's a good thing that you regret when you do something wrong. On the one hand you shouldn't beat yourself up like that about it. I mean... you are a teen!! But on the other hand (since you seem smart enough to regret) it's better to prevent than to cure.
To keep your relationship with God, pray to him on every occasion you can. Tell him that you want help and advice and i promise he will send someone right at your door.
That is the Holy Spirit letting you know that you need to repair your relationship with God. God is very close to your heart.
I would recommend that you keep in mind that you usually end up like your friends, so, I would take time to reflect on who your friends are. If they are the kind of people that you want to be like when you grow up, then continue to be their friend. If they are causing you to sin against God often, I would suggest that you find new friends.
I will pray for you and I hope that everything works out!
Who do you want acceptance from, others. What we think of you should matter little. What you think of yourself is what should matter. Life is a learning lesson. Learn from it and chance what you don't like. God of the bible and the real God are different. You will not go to hell but you will get more than one chance.
Having a prayer partner or two is good -- a trusted friend or relative you can call and pray with as needed. Maybe someone at church can help you with this or help you find someone to pray with you. Sounds like you need to work more on yielding to God's Holy Spirit in your life. Like praying daily for His will to reign in your life, and about what He wants you to do, like for the day and longer term. Things I focus on that can be helpful to get the right thoughts are faith, love, peace, meekness.
You need something more. What you need is a close personal relationship with Jesus. This is accomplished by praying to him.
The bible says if we confess our sins to the Lord he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. You first need to be born again, Jesus said unless a man is born again he will never see the kingdom of God.
This cannot be accomplished by works though. It is accomplished by faith in Jesus.
we are to cast aside reiligion for a personal relationship with the living christ,where he took away the sins of the whole world from the eyes of god never to see them again,he died, and was baried,and on the third day he rose to life,when you by faith believe in this truth at that moment jesus raises you to life,this is what salvation is all about life,he who has the son jesus has life he who doesnot have the son does not have life,we live under a new covenant today,read hebrews10:16,18
God knows that we are not perfect. Ask God for forgiveness and try to do better. God realize that we sometimes make the same mistake over and over but He loves us non the less. Just continue to pray and ask God for his Grace and Mercy. May you be Blessed Always
no one is perfect. god forgives. just dont do anything that causes harm to kids or dont do anything that ll put u in jail.
edit: learn self disciple. learn karate.
men cannot save you. Jesus can. Pray for salvation in Jesus' name and repent. You can pray directly to God without the priest. Try reading the book of John and search online for free devotionals or try upperroom.com
inb4 an hero.
the beginning of second peter comes to mind.
Be a muslim... You'll thank me later.
hey:], i'm a teenager too so i definatly know what youre going through! there's always gonna be that feeling in you, yearning for love and acceptance, but it will go away...only if you fill it with Christ. It's hard, i know! Here's the thing, thats the AMAZINGG thing about God! He accepts us with our flaws..think about it, a perfect, holy God accepts sinners like us! how awesome:] So, because He is an all-knowing God, He understands that we WILL mess up! I've definatly made my mistakes..and it all comes down to how we handle it! you have to understand, God is ALWAYS going to lovee us, ALWAYS going to accept us but do you want God to be dissapoiinted in you? the answer should be no! so heres the thing, when we get a personal relationship with Christ, we are to seek Him in all aspects of our life. We are to strive to be more and more like Him. Because He is perfect, we are NEVER EVER going to be perfect like Him. But, the more we try, the more we seek and yearn for Him, your friends will see a change in you. They will see a change that they want, a change in you that makes them seek what you have! everyones situation is different, but know you are never alone in spiritual struggles. message me if you need any more advice!
Luke 12:6-8 (always remember God loves you, cares for you, seeks for you, accepts you)
Genesis 4:7 (overcome sin!)
Psalm 139 (God knows your heart, what your going through..talk to Him!!)
Wow. What is up with the totally ignorant and intolerant protestants today? Sorry you got treated so poorly by these misguided people. That's certainly no way to lead someone that is asking a serious question about faith.
Anyway, the fact that you feel ';guilt'; for your actions is a good thing. It means you have a strong conscience. Just don't let it eat you up. Taking advantage of the sacrament of confession would be really excellent, if you have not done so. A trusted confessor can help you work through these things - help you get to the root of why you repeat certain action. It's always hard the first few time, but the more often you do it (once a month?) the easier and more productive it is. It is a huge lesson is humility.
We tend to pray at set time s- Once in the morning, once at night, etc. What about adding in a few times during the day? Maybe take a few minutes at lunch to pray or read a spiritual meditation. That little extra focus through the day may help you stay centered. Pax.
Catholicism is not Christian. Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works that cannot save (Galatians 1:6-9).
Catholicism is a counterfeit from Satan. Catholicism cannot give you a personal relationship with Jesus.
It's clear from the Book of Acts in the Bible that catholics didn't even exist during the days of Acts. Those in the Book of Acts are the first Christians, and they believed what would be called fundamentalist doctrine today. ANYONE can read the Book of Acts for themselves and see. Had catholicism existed during the time of Acts, the first Christians would have rejected catholicism completely.
Also here's Christians that called the ';pope'; the antichrist, and who also completely rejected catholicism, long before Martin Luther was even born:
c. 1310
Dante Alighieri
c. 1331
Michael of Cesena
c. 1345
Johannes de Rupescissa
c. 1350
Francesco Petrarch
c. 1367
John Milicz
c. 1379
John Wycliffe
c. 1388
Matthias of Janow
c. 1389
R. Wimbledon
c. 1390
John Purvey
c. 1393
Walter Brute
c. 1412
John Huss
c. 1497
Girolamo Savonarola
So not only is it false to say that ';catholics were the first Christians';, but this list blows away the catholic claim that ';no churches existed other than the catholic church, until Martin Luther';.
There were ALWAYS saved believers outside the catholic cult, who knew catholicism cannot save anyone.
Catholicism cannot save. Only believing in Jesus alone for salvation, is what saves.
Jesus loves you so very much! :D
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus! It is impossible to lose or ';leave'; salvation (John 6:39-40, 1 John 5:13).
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you will be in heaven, no matter what!
Please pray now: ';Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose from the dead. Thank You for eternal life!'; You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die. :)
Well, what you are describing is something all who want to follow God experience, All of us are still sinners, but that doesn't mean we don't turn away from sins, if we fall now and then and truly ask for forgiveness, God will forgive, but if we pursue a relationship with God constantly, the less sin even tempts us, The opposite of all sin is Holiness, when we pursue God Who is Holy and the things of God- Holiness, the less we will fall into sin, In life, we will see that our dependence on things, on people, on certain events etc. will let us down, nothing and no one is completely dependable but God and if we depend on anything other than God, we can make these things God in our lives, and put God in a lower place, The very first commandment is Love the Lord thy God with all thy strength, mind, soul. God is to be number 1, If our relationship with God is number 1, everything else will be in right perspective and will be in their right place, and there is a peace and joy that comes from this. God is calling us to complete dependence and surrender to Him and this gives you peace, the world cannot give you.
Hold on to these verses in Jeremiah 17:5-10
';5Thus says the LORD:';Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6 He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
7 ';Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose trust is the LORD.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.';
9The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 ';I the LORD search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.';';
does I want to be accepted in modern society but sometimes I destroy my relationship with God to do so. Any advice to help me through these trying times. But that is not all I feel alone in this world and I really don't have anybody to talk to these things about so I want to be accepted and have God be prevalent in my life. Thanks for any and all advice and, well, God bless!!!!!!!!!!I need some ';life advice';?

Church Vs Social Life? Advice please...?
I believe in god and I do go to church every once in a while. I honestly don't have a social life and I feel I need one. But it seems everytime when I'm about to do something I always wanted to do, what I don't do in church always get thrown up in my face. I hear this so much to the point where I just don't believe anymore, and I'm just not sure.
I was just thinking back to when I started going out for the first time in two years and how badly my mother tried to hold me back from it. My cousin invited me to her 21st birthday party in May, and my mother didn't want me to go. She then tried to use church against what I wanted to do...saying things like ';can you go to your cousins party but you can't go to any church events?';...this happens all the time. When people invite me somewhere its always no this and no that, but when a church event comes up she always expect me to go and I never do. I'm not really interested and I would just like to live my life normal.
Then yesterday my cousin invited me to a party he was having and before I could say anything else, it was ';HELL NO. You're not going. They like to drink.'; It wasn't like I was going there to have a few drinks, I was going there just to have fun. I could care less on the drinking part. Plus whenever we do go over to our families house they do drink and smoke, so I don't really see the difference.
I would have a conversation with her about it, but it would get blown out of proportion and she would think little of me. I just don't want to live my life wondering if I'm doing anything wrong and feeling guilty of anything just because of how I was raised. Btw, I'm 19. I just want to live a normal life without any strings attach...Church Vs Social Life? Advice please...?
God doesn't exist. I'm 14 and am to old for these fairy tales. Use your common sense and use your brain. You have one life. Live it to your best.Church Vs Social Life? Advice please...?
It's utter nonsense ie sin to exercise control over a humanbeing unless he/she is a threat to society..A church being a part of society has to make its contribution to building a society that helps man to bloom to the full.So it's wrong to frame a phrase like 'church vs social life'
Leave the church, they are manipulating you.
you're 19? move out.
i'm really sorry about what you're going through, luckily my parents have always given me a choice to go to church or not.
anyways.. you should be able to move out soon, so you can do what you want and make friends.
also, drinking alcohol isn't a sin.
anyways... until you can move somewhere else, you're just going to have to deal with your mom.
Drinking is not a sin. It is only drunkenness that is sin, and like all sins, drunkenness is forgiven completely by the person believing in Jesus alone for salvation
And ';believing in God'; won't save you. Going to a church building won't save you either.
It is only believing in JESUS alone for salvation, that saves :)
Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D
Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus alone to save you! It is impossible to lose or ';leave'; salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).
The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you will be in heaven, no matter what!
Please pray now: ';Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose from the dead. Thank You for eternal life!'; You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die. :)
You are going through the normal pangs of teenage life and breaking out on your own. But if you truly believe in God and that Christ died for your sins, you will honor your mother and father. My mother did the same thing when I was a teenager and I was really angry, because I thought I was missing out. But looking back, I'm glad she did that, because many of those kids took a different road in life than I did. Your Mom loves you, and is trying to protect you. You will still have your good days and bad at home, but making the ';right'; choice isn't always the easy road.
sounds like your mom is worried about you and the paths that are out there with so much temptation...she doesnt want you tempted and off the right path.
you shouldnt feel guilty unless you are doing something you know is wrong. you will feel it inside, if you are a believer. if the people you want to hang are bad influences, it will effect your life. you cant think you can some how stay separate from it.
mb to please your mom and open other doors to explore, try some church events. there is no reason why you cant have both a life in and out of church.
try this...
Mom, I am 19 and an adult. I know right from wrong and God knows where I am and what I am doing and I am not going to do anything that he would be unhappy with.
If you have a problem with how you raised me then you need to talk to God about that and let me get on with my life and my walk with God.
Hope this idea helps...
don't do anything that your guardian angel would be embarrassed to see. :)elizabeth arden

I need some life advice?
I got married to my husband 1 year after my mother passed away (complications Heart Surgery) anyway he had been out of prison for 3 months when we married and he came to live with me and my family he finally got his life together and worked a good job spoiled me and my family, after my father died everything changed he quit working started drinking and doing drugs I thought to move away from our home town, his family, (mine died) to get a handle on the drinking,it was ok for a while then he found another dope dealer, and you know the rest, Well for 7 months he did nothing but lay around and drink daily,(he could get credit ) for drugs and drinking more than anyone I knew and we would either be sitting in the dark or trying to find somewhere to go, so I had to work after 7 months I got laid off (disabled) and he had to go to work, now he's working and I'm not and he expects me to kiss his ***, he counts every penny and is selfish, I am losing my mind what can I do?I need some life advice?
Move on, while you still retain some of YOU! Before long, the way this is going, there will be none of YOU, left!I need some life advice?
He is a loser and he is taking you down with him you need to get away from him and go out and find your place in this world. Get it together only without him you can be happy again.
you both need to grow up--you maried a guy fresh out of prison--did u think he would be a brain surgeon??? u in a single wide or double wide???
He sounds like an ill person in many ways. I think you need marriage counseling to work through these problems.
In general though, it is not ok for marital partners to be disrepsectful of each other. Marital partners need to treat each other the way they want to be treated! (do unto others...) If this is not happening, then there is a problem.
It sounds like he resents you for not working due to your disability, and wishes you would go back to work so he could stay home and drink and do drugs!!! Is this right?
I think it all sounds very unhealthy. I hope you can get counseling for these issues. If not, you may have to leave him. If he is still addicted, you'd be wise to leave him at least until he gets his addiction under control. He may need to be in rehab.

Second Life: Any advice from residents for a newbie?
Made my account this morning, but I really have no idea what it's all about. Wanna' be a tour guide?Second Life: Any advice from residents for a newbie?
Grid is down still for 'updating'. When you get on, use the Search button at the bottom of your screen. You can use to locate cool places to shop, go clubbing, practically anything. Give me a IM sometime, I'm Kristy Cordeaux in-game also. Good luck and have fun :)Second Life: Any advice from residents for a newbie?
Well, the gist is that it's not a ';game per se'; but more of an ';environment'; in which you can interact with other people as well as create world content -- objects (items, clothes, buildings, plants, cars, etc.), scripts (i.e., code that makes something happen, whether it's butterflies flying around or earrings that ';bling'; or guns that actually fire things or vehicles that move).
There's also a commercial component to SL. IOW, you can sell whatever you create to other players in-game, if they are willing to buy it. Many people like to customize their avatar's appearance (body, clothes, skin, etc.) and pay for what others have created in order to create a unique and individual look for themselves.
SL also provides a ';virtual interface'; for people to get together. You will find a bunch of groups who meet on different issues -- religious groups, therapy groups, programmers, etc. It's rather like the infamous ';party line'; except you can all interact in a virtual world. Maybe real life is better overall, but SL provides an interface not restrained by physical location.
Go hang out on Help Island. There are official ';mentors'; who make a point of helping new players and can give much more detailed information to your specific questions, as you go along.
Also liberally use the Search feature at the bottom of your screen. You can search for items being sold, places, specific people, events that are being held, and so on -- and teleport right to those locations in-game.
I would also recommend visiting the forums regularly (http://forums.secondlife.com).
The community forums are active and can provide much detailed information as well as an overview of what's important to residents right now. You can also post any specific questions you might have.
Good luck!

Looking for Life advice?
Sorry if this is a bit drone.
Ok I know life is ultimately up to me but I really don't have anyone to look to for advice or guidance so why not ask a bunch of strangers that don't know me???
First is I am 25 years old and still live at home. The ONLY reason I still live at home is I have a disabled mom who needs help around the house and her husband works too much to help and my brothers and sisters refuse to help. That being said my life was put on hold pretty much as soon as I graduated high school I didn't get to go to college I don't really have a social life at all. My life revolves around making sure my mom has what she needs. But in doing so she 110% does not appreciate it at all and controls almost every aspect of my life. I mean I feel like a teen all the time.
Everything has to be her way period. And if it is not you will know by the tantrums and her downgrading you until you feel like nothing. But as soon as you do what she wants she acts like you are the best thing in the world. I am literally terrified when I hear her go to the kitchen of a morning if she doesn't speak. Because if she doesn't speak first I know she is going to do something that day to make me feel worthless.
I don't know if I should just keep my mouth shut until I can move out. Or if I should say something. On the good days me and my mom get along FANTASTICALLY!Looking for Life advice?
I agree with the above. I was in almost exact same situation with no appreciation feeling like my mom didn't give a hell about me as long as I was doing something for her.
We got along great as long as everything was her way but if I had a different opinion all hell broke loose.
I didn't get up and start shouting like a child or stomp off I sat down and talked to her like an adult.
I have since moved out and began my own life and me and my mom talk on the phone at least 3 times a week and I visit her often. There is no more downgrading me or making me feel like nothing.
My mom too is disabled and now she has people to help her out. Doesn't mean I totally cut her off I help when I can. And I didn't just leave without making sure she had the help she needed.Looking for Life advice?
well you can ask this advice at jamrie.com
its more of a personal advice website.
people over there might be able to help you out.
i go there all the time!
You know what, you have lost many years of your life taking care of your mother, and I would certainly say you are a good son.It's time that you leave and live your own life doing what you want to do. You need to tell your mom and dad both that they must hire someone to take care of your mother, that you will be moving out. All the good you have done for your mother and she treats you bad, that is not right. I wish you worlds of luck and hope you can leave soon.
She treats you badly because...she can. You have not told her that her bad behaviour is not acceptable...it doesn't mean you love her any less just because you tell her . What you need to do is ..stop looking for her approval...stop putting your hand out to have it slapped ..stand up for yourself. Maybe that is why the rest of the family don't do much for her...because they wont accept her ..thankless behaviour. It appears you get on FANTASTICALLY when everything is going her way. You are 25yrs old and that is old enough to take a stand...if she doesn't like it...then you need to move out and get a life for yourself.
