Question

The girl I like hates me. How do I get her to not hate me anymore?

Community Answer

Try to figure out why she hates you and ask yourself if you could be doing something differently. You've also got to give her some room if you come on too strong. Let time work its magic, and change your ways. If she doesn't soften up to you eventually, it's time to move on.

Question

Can I throw something in any type of water (e.g. a bucket of water)?

Community Answer

No. It needs to be something traditional, like a fountain, that has a significance to wishes.

Should I believe in falling stars?

It certainly doesn't hurt, and wishing upon a fallen star, if nothing else, helps you articulate your own wishes and desires to yourself. I can't see anything bad coming from letting yourself enjoy things.
