The Wisdom of [hanhepi]
Hi! I need help! (I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't need help) Anyway, my wiki is not very popular. How can I make RavensUnite page popular? It's really fun :)

Try advertising your wiki in the Advertising Forum, and adding a link to your house. Also, there is a wiki for advertising your wiki! Featured Wiki might be worth checking out. Basically, just pimp your page everywhere it seems appropriate to. Maybe flipping through random members you see someone who's status is "wow I'm bored, someone talk to me!". Drop them a line, tell them about your wiki. Good luck!
Hey there! I need some advice! I have never had a man before, never a boyfriend and I'm still a virgin. You can look at my picture at my house, I'm cute as hell! But yet I still cannot get a boyfriend. I think it is because of all my high standards. I love a man who is at least a head taller then me even in my three inch heels. I also like a smart man, but someone who is out going and adventurous. I like them light skinned with at least some hair, never a bald dude! But you know? I think it also might be the reason for my sexual intentions. I will absolutely not kiss a man unless we have been dating for three weeks at least, and I won't let him fool around with me unless it's been half a year...I like my virginity and plan to save it for marriage, but every time I tell a man that he seems to run away! Is there no man out there willing to wait? Am I not cute enough for such honor? Help me out! I'm desperate for some lovin' and need to know how to get it in the way that I feel comfortable. I like to cuddle, isn't that enough?

Well, love has nothing to do with how a person looks. Maybe if you focused less on the way guys look, and more on how he looks AT YOU when you meet. Does he look at you like he is imagining you naked (most guys look at us that way) and talk to your chest? This is never a sign that they are willing to wait! Or does he look at you with respect, making eye contact, and looking like he is hanging onto every word you say? There is a sure-fire way to tell he views you as an equal! You gotta keep in mind that most (99.999%) of men are scum bags and/or pigs, (No offence intended to scum bags or pigs) especially the good lookin' ones! They seem to think that no woman can resist their charms, and are intimidated when they realize we actually can. If a guy is not willing to wait until you are ready, he doesn't deserve you. Maybe if you found a guy who is also a virgin. . . Then on your wedding night the two of you can learn and explore together. Chances are a virgin guy is willing to wait for you. Also, if you have pets, pay attention to the way the pet and the guy interact. If the pet seems friendly and un-aggressive, the guy could be ok. However, if the pet (especially a dog) seems bothered by the guy, or tries to attack him, take your pets advice: shove the man out the door and lock it behind him, metaphorically and literally!) On a personal note, no, you are not ugly by any stretch of the imagination! Once again, if the guy doesn't like you for who you are, and what you believe in, then he just is not worth the stress. (And trust me, guys will bring you stress! Sometimes it's worth it, most of the time it isn't.)
Hello! My partner and I are both unemployed, and we both like design and art. We recently found a website-- http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/ --that allows you to put your designs on objects and then people can buy them online. We were just after some advice to see if it would be a good thing for us to be doing. We also live in Australia, and the site is American so we would have to get the money changed... We are just after other opinions and advice since we have no idea what we are doing!

The site appears to be on the up and up. It seems to make sense at least. However I wouldn't depend on it as a sole source of income! Owning a retail store can make it tricky to keep a budget. One month you might make $30,000 the next month only $1000. (Although with an online site I doubt if you will ever make $30,000). As an EXTRA source of income I would say go for it though. Make sure you will still retain all copyrights to your artwork before you open an account with them! I couldn't find anything on that site about copyrights, so it bears looking into. As for exchanging the currency, ask at your bank. The site says they issue a check, so I don't see why after depositing the check (or cashing it) the bank couldn't issue the funds in the Australian Dollar. At the very least the bank will know where the nearest currency exchange is. By the way, the current exchange rate (as of April 15th ) is: $1 U.S. = $1.36047 Australian and $1 Australian = $0.73504 U.S.
Ever since I had a BAD experience with a former supposed "friend" who betrayed me, I've had major issues with trusting people who try to befriend me. I know it's not healthy, but for the last 4 years or so I've pretty much isolated myself completely. I know I'm just doing it to prevent myself from being hurt again, but I'm really starting to get lonely as hell not having a social life. How can I learn to open up and trust people again?
~The Lone Hermit
I don't really trust people very easily either. But here it is: If you don't try you'll never know. Yeah you, might get burned but you might also get lucky - can't do either if you don't try. It is ok to keep your guard up. But eventually you will have to let it down and let someone in. I'm not going to lie, it is not easy to learn to trust again once your trust has been broken. Maybe go to a chat room where no one knows you, strike up a conversation with a complete stranger. Give them your life story, including even the most embarrassing things that ever happened to you (but never give out your Social Security, Credit Card, Checking/Savings Account info, or mother's maiden name!!!!). Do that a couple of times, and maybe it will help. If you can trust a stranger online with embarrassing stuff like that, maybe you can begin to trust people in your real life.
There is this guy, who I know really likes me, he has told me several times. But he is 21 and I am only 17. I thought it wasn't a big deal at first, but after starting to hang out with him a little, I discovered that he really isn't the kind of person I like. I am really nervous and uncomfortable around him, knowing that he likes me so much and might want to take the relationship past just a friendship. I just don't know how to tell him that I'm not interested in him in that way. Help!!
~ Stuck Heart
Here we go. I am assuming that at 17 you still live with mom and/or dad. Tell him: "Mom would have a coronary if I dated you" or "Dad would shoot us both if I dated a guy this much older than me". Better yet, tell him you don't want to screw up the friendship by dating. It really does change a friendship (yes that was the "Voice of Experience" talking!), no matter how hard you try to not let it.
Out of the Herald staff, who is the most hyper? Who is the most organized? Who is the most panicked? Who is the most creative? Who is the most insane?
~Heralder friend!
HMMM.... Well, I am still kind of new here, but in my interactions with the Heralders I would have to say either [Calico Tiger] or [ButterflyFairy] is the most hyper, and the most organized is probably [skylie] (she seems to have a lot on her plate). Currently, I think I might be the most panicked (deadline tomorrow, still banging out advice!!!). I can't pick who is most creative, because we are all pretty creative in our own way. And the most insane award goes to all of us the day before deadline. Lol!

Dear ButterflyFairy,
I am dating this guy, but I'm gay. I want to tell him, but I don't hurt him. He's going to college soon. What should I do?
~gay and confused
Dear "gay and confused,"
The best thing to do is to just be honest with him before he goes. If you don't have feelings for him, then he should know. Sure, he may be hurt at first, but since he's leaving off to college soon anyway, he'll get over it. It would be worse to lead him on and keep him hanging while he's gone. Breaking ties cleanly will allow both of you to get on to relationships where you're more suitable.
Dear ButterflyFairy,
My girlfriend and I have a long distance relationship, and sometimes it feels like the want and need to hold her tears at me and she knows that it does. I really love this girl with all of my body and heart. What should I do?
~A Silly Human
Dear "Silly Human",
Long distance relationships are always hard. To not be with someone in person that you love can be torture, but true love can stand the test of time and distance. And with today's technology, it's a whole lot easier to stay in contact with people over distances than it used to be. Use it to your advantage. E-mail and messaging are free. Send lots of them to each other and stay in contact every day. Send pictures and love notes and let her know how much she means to you and that you think of her. Staying in touch regularly can make it a lot easier to bear the time that you spend apart. And will make the time you do spend together so much better.
Dear ButterflyFairy,
What should I do when people refer sexually to my ears? Should I consider them mentally unstable and try not to offend them? Laugh? Get my ears pierced a couple times more? Say something creepy and off-putting about it, say old people or animals, in the hope to scare them off?
~non-sexual-ears-girl
Dear "non-sexual ears girl",
Lots of people have different fetishes and turn-ons. Some like feet, and others like ears. So you've had a few people that compliment you on your ears. Just laugh and say 'thanks'. If they get too creepy with the comments and it starts to make you uncomfortable, you can always ditch that date and find another one.
Dear ButterflyFairy
My friend killed herself awhile back... we met on ET so she lives in another state, and one day I really want to go visit her grave, but her friends just see me as some guy and they won't help me by giving anything away... right now I know enough to find her barely but it might take me a few weeks down in her hometown.. What should I do?
~[bluefan44]
Dear "bluefan44",
Visiting the grave and saying goodbye to someone who has died is important to a lot of people and can bring a sense of closure. If it is truly important to you, than it is worth doing. It's unfortunate that her friends won't help you, but do it yourself if you have to. Try to find out as much as you can online and from making phone calls before you go. Try to call the local paper and see if you can get access to the obituary. That will usually list the funeral home, and then you can contact them to find out what graveyard she's buried in. And if you can, try to find a friend to go with you so you don't make the trip alone. Be careful, and good luck.
