I used to have a crush on my BGF, before we became good friends. He was homeschooled until this year, and lives down the street from me (which I didn't know until he began attending my school). I'm in eighth grade, and dating is really popular. We bonded in math class over hard homework problems. I don't like him anymore, but my friends tease us for being so close. If he asked me out, is it weird that I would say yes? We have a bunch of nicknames for each other, and have hilarious Facebook chats with our girl friend. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about him. I'm fine with being friends, but is it wrong to be confused?

It's not weird to say yes, but if you don't like him, why lead him on? It will only make him more hurt later! It's better to tell him the truth now than string him along and tell him you never liked him a few dates down the road. But if you think you might like him and want to see where things go, of course you should say yes -- that's what dating is for!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD PLEASE!! MOD MOD MOD!!!!! My bgf and I have been more than friends for a while, like a year, but nothing more than that. Whenever we've talked about dating, he says he's not ready for a dating relationship, and I totally agree. We're sophmores and still young, but I feel guilty flirting/laughing/goofin' off with my other guy friends now. I sent him a note that told him I wanted to stop for right now, but I think that right now is as far as it would ever get. I don't think that he would ever be able to see me as anything more than his gal pal, not his girlfriend. I told him I wanted to stop and let the relationship go, but he's still one of my best friends and he is my lil' bro's best friend. What should I do???

MODMODMOD So, there's a guy in my chorus class that, at the end of class, walks over to the piano and just PLAYS! He is AMAZING at it, and I would swear his music is magical! Anyways, he seems really cool (and he's attractive ) and I want to actually talk to him some to at least be friends. My problem is, I'm really shy around people I don't know, ESPECIALLY if they're guys. Like, 5 times more! How do I get to be more chill and maybe actually talk to him? Much appreciated! Thanks!

 

 Hey pandagirl21, the first thing to remember is that he is a guy, a person just like you, so there's nothing to be nervous about. Two, maybe you can use his piano skills to talk to him. After he finishes playing the next time, tell him how good he did. Ask what song he was playing and how long he has been playing the piano. Once you talk to him once, you'll get comfortable chatting with him and you'll be able to do it again. Be sure you smile and wave when you see him out, and if you guys make eye contact, hold it and smile. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Modmodmodmodmod Hey, today at school, I got a Valentine from a boy. Only problem? I dont like him at all, I like someone else, even though this guy's really sweet. I didn't get the Valdntine from him directely so I thought that I wouldn't have to face him. But on the bus, apparently everyone heard about him getting me the Valentine, and this jerk kept making fun of us. I ignored him, but the guy who gave me the Valentine (call him Bob) kept turning around and making kind-of smart remarks at him. Finaly, the jerk goes, "Well aren't you gonna ask her out?"+Bob turns around and says "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"+ I say that Im sorry but I don't want a boyfriend right now.The jerk made a really big deal out of it but Bob just said ok and turned back around. I feel really sorry for him but I didn't want my first booyfriend to be someone I didnt like. So does rejecting someone on Valentines make me a bad person?+ what should I do if I see him again+what if he asks me out again?
