  • Question
    How do I know if my breath smells during a date?
    Community Answer
    Go to the bathroom and lick your wrist. When it dries, smell it; that's what your breath smells like.
  • Question
    How can I keep myself active?
    Community Answer
    If you are lazy (like myself), I recommend dancing. It could be in a studio, or your living room while watching reruns of "Dancing With the Stars." You can watch your favorite dance and try to perfect it. If you aren't into that, try at-home yoga, or go for a run in the early morning before school or work.

    Be confident and wear bright colors. That said, you need to wear what makes you feel confident.
  • Question
    How do I smile and keep myself from being short tempered?
    Community Answer
    No need to change yourself. Just try to stay calm and react when needed. It's not possible for a short tempered person to change fast. Work on focusing on others' positive attributes, and think about thinks you are thankful for. This will help you maintain a more calm and positive outlook.
  • Question
    As a gay man, I find it quite hard to fit in with others. Can you recommend any way to get me through with being more sociable, especially when it comes to sports?

    Fake it till you make it. Try learning more about the sport even if you're not interested, it will just help to make conversation. If you want to be more social, then just start saying hi and introducing yourself. Ask them about themselves, don't just talk about yourself, it's a turn off. Find things that are easy to talk about, like food or celebrities.
  • Question
    Can a gay man feel comfortable and confident in clothes that straight men wear?

    Yes, they can. Just because you're gay, it doesn't mean you have to conform to common stereotypes, like gay=femboy. For example, many gay people do not cross-dress. Personally, I like jeans and usually long-sleeved shirts, but can still fold my sleeves if required. If you like certain dressing styles, then go ahead and dress that way. No one has the right to determine how you dress.
  • Question
    How do I express my feelings to a boy who might be gay or straight?
    Gamer Noko
    Community Answer
    First, the obvious thing, figure out if they're gay or straight. It would be awkward if they were straight and you were expressing that you like them. If they're gay, then you can go ahead and flirt or ask them about who they might like.
  • Question
    How can I be that gay that everyone one wants?

    Community Answer
    It depends on what you mean by 'wants'. If you're talking about the stereotypical gay person, do not dress stereotypically! You're you, and you have every right to dress how you want. If you're talking about the gay person people want to date, then again, just be yourself. If you try to be someone you aren't, then nobody would want to stay with you since you're faking.
  • Question
    As a trans boy, how will I know what I want to wear or want to look like? I am a middle schooler, it took me time to figure myself out and I am still in the closet.

    The great thing about wearing clothes is that you can experiment. Feel free to try new clothes out. Or think of the clothes that might interest you. Search online and see the clothes that feel right for you to wear. And another great thing about clothes is that in a couple of years, if you don't feel that these clothes fit your personality anymore, you can get new clothes that do.

    I'm always worried (nervous) because I'm short. I don't know why, but that's the problem I'm always thinking of.

    It doesn't matter how tall you are. You just need to be yourself and stay positive! If someone dislikes you for being short, they are an extremely shallow person whom you would do well to avoid.
