only1shi i always get asked my age. i'm sure it's because i'm young and look younger. as far as being fat- everyone is entitled to their opinion. but if i'm fat, good luck world. :)

only1shi my hands are naturally cold, so i tend to sit on them or rub them together when they bother me. i don't think that i put my hands in my pockets, but i tend to phish in them a lot- especially my back pockets. so i guess my answer to your question is nope. :)

only1shi i think that if you are comparing a potential boy friend to your friends that you may have some deeper feelings for your friend. maybe you should explore your feelings for your friend and see if they are actually worth comparing other people to.
