Is this messed up? Hey Basil! Yesterday my first girlfriend broke up with me. At first I didn't really care but then I learned 2 hours after we broke up she asked one of my best friends to be her valentine... Much respect towards him cause he said no for me. Now shes gonna ask my bestfriend who has been my bestfriend since kindergarten... Oh and when we broke up my friend told me she was sad that I wasn't that sad about the break up and she wanted me to be more sad... Well I just wanted to know what you guys thought about this Thanks in advance

Help with girls Okay theres this girl in my school that I like and its almost the end of the school year. I was going to ask her out like 3 weeks ago but i was nervous because she was always around her friends and I didn't know if she liked me or not. Two of my good buddies said that she did one of them said he heard her talking about me I'm not sure about the details but she could just be talking about me not in a liking way because she knows I like her. Anyway how do I know if she likes me? What should I do? Note:I was talking to her before and I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure she said she likes video games. (She's Asian) Note:3 days of school left including today!

Piano help for a beginner? I just want to ask all the people that play piano out there for some help like tips and things to practice to improve on your piano skills. I've recently become interested in playing the piano, but I don't like getting lessons from a teacher because they restrict you from playing what you want. I know most of the basics, but I've had trouble adjusting speeds with both hands. Like controlling my left hand to play fast while my right hand plays slow and vice-versa. If any of you guys know tips or things I could practice daily to improve on that skill your help would be appreciated! :D Also any tips for a beginner in general would be very helpful too! Thanks Basil!
