What app do you use to editing your videos ?

I record on a Canon Rebel T3i camera and use a Blue Yeti Microphone for audio. I edit everything in Abobe Premiere Pro CS6 from there.

Josh what are some realistic date ideas for teens? I know you made a video for that, but I need some fresh new ones for couples that have a different taste than your ideas.

Hmm a few extra realistic dates might be getting food after school, checking out a movie together, finding an event like a festival or live concert to attend. Basically any activity that comes up or a place you can go to do an activity together would be realistic.

What are your specialties?

Hmm I think my specialties might be in helping people understand their worth and work towards discovering positive values and traits that lie deep within them already.

HELLO :) I would like to show you my blog. Please read and leave comment if you liked or follow me I will follow you back! Thank you so much in advance :) Have a nice day ;) http://wefoundlovebut.blogspot.com

hey I really like what you're doing with your blog! Keep on expressing your feelings through writing, I think you have a real talent for it.

HELP! Josh ever since I've gotten back with my ex I don't know what to text as much. Are we as guys obligated to text girls all the time or everyday?

There's no obligation to always text or to be the first one to text. What you ultimately want is a flow between the two of you, with each one switching off or texting whenever they want to. When you're a teen there's sometimes a feeling like you need to talk to them all day every day since you both have free time but it's ultimately better to dedicate a shorter amount of time where you're not distracted and can devote that full 30 minutes or 1 hour to talking.

How do you make a kiss more passionate and fiery?

There's a few things you could do to make the moment more intense, that all comes down to testing things with your partner. You can try putting your hands on the back of her neck while you kiss her, around her waist, slow down the kiss so that you guys are more involved in each action, use less tongue so it doesn't seem sloppy or tease kisses or even hold the girl up against the wall while you kiss her. Be in the present and always read her body language.

Today we took a vote on where our Junior prom would be at school. I can't help to panic about asking someone even tho the prom isn't until around late May. I have a few female friends but I'm not very close with any. Any tips?

Hey, I have a video called how to ask a girl to prom which might help you overcome your nerves. What I would do is not stress too much on finding one girl to go with just to be traditional. If there's no one that you directly like then you can always gather a group of friends and go together. That's what I did for my prom, in some ways I wanted to go with my crush but I had an amazing time going with my friends too.

You gotta tell me your first kiss and how it was? From a scale of 1-10 how romantic was it?

I've had a few first kisses, most of them not being real kisses considering they were in truth or dare. My first actual kiss with my first girlfriend was in high school as a sophmore, I would walk her home after school since the two of us lived near each other and it took me a while to kiss her. It was mainly a peck that I initiated and finally decided it was time to do. She was hoping I would kiss her so she was happy when I did. I think the main learning point for me is that I knew the time was right because we both connected so fluidly, had she rejected me or turned me away I might have felt hurt but looking back now I realize it would have just been because I didn't give enough time for us to connect.

low key freaking out becausê I want too kiss this person but I don't know how to kiss

I'm putting together a series of videos on how to kiss a girl which should be helpful for you. The thing to remember is that the less pressure you put on yourself to do it right, the easier it will be to try.

Were you ever not confident and how/when did you realize confidence is key?

I used to feel incredibly nervous talking to girls and doing things up until college. In college I decided to change my attitude by reading, learning and testing things out not just with talking to girls but also in how I interacted with others. It's important to always be educating yourself and learning about how to communicate with others, and in having knowledge and experience you develop your confidence.

Is there a documentary or book that really changed the way you thought about something?

There's been a lot of documentaries and books that have really been influential to me over the years: The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers, The Game by Neil Strauss, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, and movies like Cowspiracy and Forks Over Knives.

Is there a major indicator that your girlfriend wants to kiss or makeout with you? I can't ever tell and is it possible to kiss at a wrong time"

It's possible for either of you to not feel in the moment to kiss but a good way to lead into a kiss is to let the air fall quiet and you both stop talking. in that silence just look at her, smile, and go in for the kiss. The best time to do it is when it seems natural to do, and you can create a natural environment by letting things become calm and going for it.

i like a girl who is popular but Im scared becuase im not that poular?

Hey, I know how it may feel sometimes when you feel a distance between you and the popular girl because she's supposed to be popular. What I've come to realize is that titles and the invisible line set up is something that can be easily broken if you act confident enough to ignore it. Talk to her like you would any other girl and she'll also get rid of that mental invisible line as well.

when I talk to a girl sometimes i get a short one word reply what can I do or say to have a more fun and interesting conversation?

hey, I just put out a video on not having boring conversations which should be helpful in your situation. I also have a video on how to text or call the person you like which might help you text her better to get more out of the conversations.

I like a girl in school and she is really popular and smart. I speak to her sometimes and feel a connection. what should I do? i really like her

I made a video on How to Ask Out the Popular Girl which might be helpful for you. My main tip would be to ask her to hang out if you feel a strong connection with her. A good way to strengthen that connection is by spending one on one time with her and getting to know her better to see if she's the kind of girl you can see your personality matching with and also giving her a chance to do the same for you.

I got back with my ex. We never had any real issues when we broke up, it was just because she was supposedly moving but got to stay. So if you were in my situation how would you approach? Also how do I get her to kiss more often, I'm too shy to go for it

If you guys broke up simply because she was moving and she's not then I think it's fair game to ask her out again and continue what you had. There's no sense in moving on from it if you don't have a set reason to do it.
As for kissing more, if it's something you want to do more of, you have to initiate it so she can understand that you want to be affectionate. She may also be feeling nervous which might mean that she's looking for a way to be more comfortable doing it too.

I suddenly woke up cuz of noise and I silently caught my parents "doing it". I'm feeling totally embarassed and mad about it. I know, I should respect their privacy, but geez, that's too much for me. I wish I could talk to them about the issue but I know I can't cuz of what I just said before.

it's always weird to be in a situation like that, it can make you feel a range of emotions that you don't know what to do with. The truth is, it's perfectly normal for parents to still be having sex, it's just hard for their kids sometimes to hear that because we generally don't view our parents as being sexual, like ever. If it is something that truly is bothering you then I would try to talk to them about you heard noises the other night and you didn't know what it was, or it might make the most sense to just try to process and understand that they are just doing what's natural to them and accept it.

What are the stages of a highschool relationship?

hmm that's a good question. I think for a lot of high school relationships since it's the first of many real ones that you may encounter, there's the need to be accepted by your partner and to learn what it means to care for someone. Since there isn't much responsibility (living together, handling chores, dealing with work schedules or children) there's a bigger emphasis on having fun together. I think learning how to have fun with your partner and enjoying the idea of having someone to learn from and experience things with is the fundamental first step for a high school relationship.

If you were back in highschool how would you date a girl and how would you show her your affection?

If I were back in high school, I think what I would focus on is making her feel special by sharing special moments with her. You can look up fun places to check out and have adventures with her going to a museum, having a picnic in the park or even finding a beach/boardwalk and walking during a sunset. In high school, memories are incredibly important so I would focus on building fun and romantic memories like that.

Is it possible to rekindle a friendship with someone in high school when you don't see them as much? Like if now you only have one or two classes with them.

Yeah its totally possible, you just have to make the effort to talk to them and you can't wait on the sidelines for them to take the initiative. Try talking to them in the classes you have with them, either before or after class. It comes down to stepping forward and making the initiative if you want to maintain what you have with them.

What does a girl want in a highschool relationship? I've never been great with the ladies so if I get into a relationship how do I make it last?

That's a very good question, what I think a high school girl wants is someone who she can talk to and spend time with. Being there for her to support her when she's feeling stressed out and making her feel special by showing you're thinking about her are a few of the things a high school girl wants.

How do you compete with a guy to win a girl over without being a jerk or needy? Also not being obvious about it either.

I did a few videos on being an alpha male but the one "How to stop guys from hitting on your girl" might be helpful here. I would check that out and see if it helps!

How to stop thinking about someone? I liked some girls but know i restart to have some feelings. Its like that i cant think right :(

Hey, it's hard to stop having feelings when you see girls you like. a good thing to do is to remember what's important to you and to focus on that. For example, if you have to study for a test but there's a girl in your class you like, try to keep your mind focused on the test by making notes, outlines and carving out time to study to keep your mind focused.

How to text your ex if you miss her?

Check out my video "Should I Get Back With My Ex" before you do. A good way to rekindle that if you decide to talk to her again is to focus on how you've grown and changed. If you can showcase the new you by joking and flirting with her like you may have used to then you can start building what you have again with both of you coming from new places.

How to text a girl that has a boyfriend?

I don't think it's a wise idea to play that game. If she has a boyfriend you should be respectful and not try to interfere. There's nothing wrong with remaining friends with her so that if they break up you can ask her out but texting her to try and win her over is a little deceptive.
