Open Question: I'm feeling self conscious at the gym..?

Hey everyone, I'm a skinny boy.. around 54 kilograms (118 pounds) and my height is about 173cm. (5'8).. (I know - underweight) I just turned 17. I eat well and I do run & play tennis, but I realised I need some muscle for my chest area especially. I really want to build up, but whenever I go to a gym I just feel so self conscious & insecure in comparison to every the muscular guys. I know this is stupid, but I just feel crappy because I have a "twink" figure. Also, I feel so hopeless because I don't know how to use any of the gym equipment (the ones to do with weights and muscle gain) and the gym people really don't look very friendly to help out a teenage kid. Same with the intimidating muscle men, who seem so self indulged with their perfect bodies. I guess I'm fit and have a nice v/abs but I really need some muscle on the torso and need to build my arms. I am way too lean! I don't want to be a bodybuilder, but some tiny pecs like Zac Efron would be great. I really have no idea what to do :( Thanks. Olli.

Open Question: Could my friend be trying to ditch me?

I play with two girls, let call them Hannah and Evan. Hannah is my actual pal. While Evan is not actually what I considered my best pal. So probably a whole "silent" fighting over Hannah thing. So it started every last week when Evan started acting really silly and she wanted to play a childish game call tag.I disagree on playing the game. But she continue to act immature and said if I do not agree to play tag she will not receive out of the seat. Hannah told me to agree just to receive Evan out of the seat. I had to say yes. But I really had to go to the bathroom. They said they would wait for me at close the seats while I went. I came to where they were and they were sort of "fake acting". I just sat next to them. Then Hannah got up and said "Casper it, oh he got me, now I got casper back" then she ran. Then Evan got up and Hannah and Evan started tagging each other. As Evan about to tag me, I ran every the way to my sister and hopefully it will take them a long time to find me. They end up finding me at last and considered me ditching them. So then just on Monday, Hannah was absent so me and Evan had to play with each other. We play bat tennis. So then we have continue to play bat tennis for the couple of days (with Hannah). It was quite boring because I am very bad at bat tennis and I have to wait for a while for my turn (First person to receive to 5 wins, the loser receive out and I receive me turn). Then suddenly today they were whispering at the drinking tap about some thing. They said that they are going to the other bathroom because this bathroom was out of order. The other bathroom was quite far from where we were playing. I said I wanted to arrive and they said stay there and look after the spots. They did came back, but I am sort of worried now if they're ditching me.

Open Question: 17 yr old w/ knee pain during heavy exercise?

Hi, I'm 17, and recently I joined the Varsity Boys Volleyball team. I played Varsity Tennis for two years previously, and I've always participated on a decent level in PE. I was very bookish before middle school, and I'm not much of an athlete. Tonight during practice during a fairly simple drill, I started to feel an almost arthritic knee pain. It was a soreness in the joint, followed by a slight stiffness after the drill. I was fine afterwards, and then when I came home, my knees stiffened as I went up the stairs. I have awful trouble with my back and neck, so I'm not expecting much out of this. But out of curiosity, is this a weakness thing that I can be rid of with good exercise, or is it more of a Arthritis that I need to take medication for? Any and every help is greatly appreciated.

Open Question: Asking this girl out.?

Ok.. well, there is this girl who is in the same tennis class that i am in. I like her a lot and she seems to grin at me every time i look at her and follows me around. Since my coach splits people up, she stands close me so we could be on the same court. I like her but i'm not sure if she likes me. We only look each other 3 times a week. (Wed. Fri. Sun.) I need a way to talk to her more, maybe ask her for her phone number. I just need to have the right time to talk to her because her dad is the coach. When we warm-up (Jump roping) she stands next to me or she stands on the other side of me. I am wondering if i should ask her to be my mixed doubles partner for an upcoming tennis tournament. I'm not sure if she likes me. When I talk to my pal, she usually sneaks up(walking slowly) to us and joining our conversation. She looks at me everytime she talks about something and smiles. I'm not sure if that is a sign. If there is anything I could do to look if she likes me, what should i do?

Resolved Question: Federer fans, i have a question ?

Why is Roger Federer annoying ? lol He said in a previous statement he hates being called #2, http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/11/09/2414397.htm And that he would regain the #1 spot pretty soon. Now he knows Novak is breathing down his neck (seperated by 10points) he`s changed his story apparently rankings dont matter now !! haha http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/7735887.stm Can yous explain ? So one minute he cant stand being addressed as 2 in the world and now seeing as his #2 position is in threat.. apparently it doesnt matter where you are in the rankings... I mean if Mr Fed looks down on being #2, how will he cope becomming 3 :O? The guy will have a nervous break down !!! Im not trying to start an argument, im just saying its silly how Fed contradicts himself a lot !! Do you reckon Roger deep down feels he`ll never regain the #1 spot in the close future, or ever again and by saying ``winning wimbledon again`` means more than a ranking is because that is a doable goal ? whereas the ranking is much harder to gain back especially if Novak does become the #2 in the world. He`s not the ``best player ever.`` If he can overtake Pete Sampras grandslam record and win the French Open, i will then call him the Greatest player... Until that time we shall refer to him as ``one of the greats`` :) Well 2009 should be an exciting one. Im already missing the tennis :( :( :( !!! Lets just wish every the players are fully fit. lmfao !! to /?/.... Its great when you receive responses like yours :) !!! Thats what you call entertaining. Sorry English isnt my first language, im really a japanese investment banker. Its a great job. good pay. Edit /?/ your probably a creepy old man who has nothing better to do with his time than answer questions on yahoo and also deary your the one making the troll accounts... how unhappy :( ! /?/ you deserve thumbs up from me :) because it looks like you wasted a lot of time answering my question and it just shows on your behalf how unhappy you are for letting a ``stupid lil teenager`` like me wind you up... aww xxx Edit to /?/ i just read more of your answer where you say my ``behaviour`` is disgusting Lmfao !!! ahahaha Your sooo silly. Its absolutely hilarious, boy! do you need a life... Im sorry i apologise for my immature behaviour on Yahoo Tennis, it was wrong and unacceptable of me, can you ever forgive me :O If you cant i may have to kill myself... 0ooo Im soooooooo bored. I do have a life lol! A very busy one, college,work,partying, obsessing over Nadal (in an unhealthy manner, obviously) hehe Oh yeah and also working on my needy English... :( Your sooo cheeky haha Omg you actually edited every the insulting things you were saying about me.

Open Question: help me on this girl? PLZ?

so let me explain this whole story, its a pretty long story. Anyways. im so heartbroken and I dont wanna hear crap like "it'll be alright" or "dont worry" i met this fantastic girl in summer school. She was just amazing. She was pretty and chilly and I dont think anyone liked her. We talked in summer school for around 6 weeks. We played tennis together soemtimes with friends at summer school and I asked her what school she was going to. She said she was going to my high school. I was so glad because I really wanted yo be with her. On the first day of school i saw her after getting my schedule but forgot to wave back. I felt kinda bad. I told some of my trusted friends that I kinda liked her. I don't know how it got out but she knew. I talked to her a lot on myspace and one time I didn't mean to make her mad by saying i dont care what u think. The next day i apologized to her on myspace and she sent me a message about how I shouldn't apologize and that I caused so much shi* for her and that shes not worth my time and that i was never worth her time. I felt heartbroken and nearly broke into tears. I sat next to her in some classes because it was assigned seats and we used to talk. But now we don't talk at every. I looked her right in the eyes once but she turned away and we haven't said a single word since these long 10 weeks. I saw her everyday in my classes and every my friends tell me to just give up on her but i cant. Its this odd feeling that ive never had with any other girl. When I saw her at school she would usually avoid me and walk on the complete opposite side. When I went to talk to her friends sometimes, her friends would call her over and she would ignore them. She doesnt want to be anywhere close me. (oh yea, in the letter she said that it will be a very very long time before she forgives me but she already deleted me on myspace and stuff) I feel so heartbroken still. I know its probably unhappy and noone cares but i want to just send my feelings out. I still tink about her everyday.... what should i do. i even tried apologizing to her but she doesnt answer.

I'm a freshman in college and there is this guy who is in one of my classes. He is one year older than i am (meaning he's a sophomore) and I have been briefly talking to him. Yesterday before class started he was telling me that i should arrive by his shift at the college pool (since he is a lifeguard) and I mentioned that I needed to play tennis soon. I then mentioned that I had 2 tennis racquet's in my room and he suddenly asked me if I was doing anything yesterday night. I had to tell him that I was going to eat dinner with a pal because it was her birthday (and it actually was!), but I told him I'd definitely take him to play tennis with me sometime. By the way my foot is sprained and I look him tomorrow so what am i suppose to do if he wants to go play tennis again? The whole time we were talking (7 minutes about) he wouldn't cease looking at my eyes. I know I had put on eye makeup yesterday, but he wouldn't cease staring. What do you guys/girls think i should do now? Should I ask him to do something with me?? I feel like i rejected him yesterday. Helppzz!

Open Question: Houston Dynamo Alternative option!!?

The Houston Leones possess Soccer World middle, a private 17 acre park with 3 fully lit soccer fields, A 5,000 capacity stadium, 500 car parking, a PDL franchise from USL, an Indoor stadium, Weight room, Cafeteria, Full Kitchen,8 person dormitory,Lounge, Soccer store, Office, Home and Away locker rooms, Tennis court, 80+ possible acres of expansion. If the Dynamo and these guys were able to set a deal to where the Dynamo start their youth club, gather sponsorship money from the PDL and the park and stadium, Tournaments and other sorts of income. For an exchange of a percentage of the dynamo.They will be able to stay in Houston for an extended period rather then three years and might be able to make enough funds to pay the lease of Robertson Stadium, until the city is able to provide subsidies to build their stadium. What do you think? The Dynamo has accomplished so much in the past two years and it deserves to stay in Houston. If they leave to a new city then they will have to start their process of management,marketing, finances, and other negotiations to build a strong franchise. This will give both entities a mutual benefit. It's something I've been thinking about for a while and I wanted some public input.

Open Question: How do you feel when you read this?

The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go. Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for every dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their possess wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival. The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail.... There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball. But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian's journey continues.... Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run. This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge. They wait in this beautiful place, glad, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. every the Siberians lift their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds. There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors and silver ones like the first odd hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak. The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again. The glory of the reunion is celebrated by every the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy. The light from that scene is what we look on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth: The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

Open Question: winter gear for biking?

The school is around 7 miles away. I already have gloves, ear warmers, a scarf and a helmet (it's designed with aerodynamic vents though I doubt that it'll affect me much even in real icy weather.) basically my upper body is pretty much covered. So the one thing I'm worried about are my feet and legs. I typically wear only 1 pair of jeans along with socks and tennis shoes. My parents keep emphasizing that my knee cap will eventually develop long term problems (maybe they are trying to scare me). Is there anything I need to do to keep my legs/knees and toes warm? If so, what should/can I do? thanks

Open Question: Why does my knee hurt when I do physical activity? PLEASE READ!?

hey. my right knee really hurts when I do physical activity. keep in mind i am a fairly average 23 year old male. maybe a bit fat,but not really....ive just been super lazy in my life! i just got into running. the first mile, the pain is pretty bad, but then it subsides for the whole 3+ miles. but, soon after, the pain comes back. i mean, like 1-2 hours or so after my run. same when i play tennis, or go on hikes. its a sharp pain, but not super agonizing. i wear a brace when i run, play tennis, hike, whatever...but i still receive the pain. what is it? how can i cease it?

Open Question: Why do some people develop the habit or just prefer to throw a tennis-sized ball into the air at a their desk?

I know it's nice of a random question. But like I just feel like I need something in my hand to toss back and forth. Is there a psychological reason for this? Or just holding the ball and turning it round while holding it. Yeah well eetubuzo I'm a student and I do this at my dorm. I don't have a desk job or anything like that. I used to work at McDonald's so I understand face-paced work. Luckily, I can through college and receive good desk jobs :) And lots of money.
