I am literally dying here! Just kidding but I do have a problem. I have had a crush on this guy since the moment I saw him (like 6 months ago) and I haven't said anything. I'm not the sort of person you would expect to be shy but on the inside I am. Anyways, he was in my class, and we sat beside each other. I got to know him pretty well and started to really like him. But then he transferred into another class( English ) and I haven't seen him for a while. Suddenly (when i had basicaly given up on him) he comes up with my number, and texts me. I answered but he hasn't replied.i donno what 2 do!!!!

hi! So recently I met this guy via instagram. I've seen him around at school and found him very attractive. He gave me his number and we began to text! We didn't talk at school but we finally decided to hang out one night. It was a group thing, he picked my sister and me up and we went to his friends' apartment! It was chill, we didn't really talk much privately considering we were all just sitting around talking as a group haha Anyways, he sat next to me on the couch and his whole body was turned facing me and the whole night he was just looking at me When he dropped me off that night, he texted me something and called me babe! We began texting more and he talked about hanging out with me frequently but he never complimented me, just "qt" Recently the conversations have been dull; sometimes he doesn't reply but when he DOES reply ,he'd call me baby?Would seeing him again privately help spice things up again? Should I play hard to get or initiate hanging out?

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so last week i got a bf and i appperantly i flirt ALOT even when i dont mean too.. is tht cheatin?? Hey girlie, That is dependent on personal opinion. But, the way I think of it, is that flirting isn't cheating unless it has intentions of taking that flirting further into physical interaction, dating, etc. Jordan S.

how can i flirt with my bgf, who is also my crush? I really like him and im pretty sure he likes me too. I don't think i quite know what flirting is? i smile a lot when he looks at me and he smiles back? What are some flirting techniques?
by daisie5 on 5/19/2012 8:03:53 PM
Hey ckemp, you could just send a simple text saying "hey wassup". Wait for him to text back and take the convo slow and easy. Hope this helps! Xoxo my crush doesn't even have my number but i have his.....how can i start a conversation with him in this dilemma? o and we rarely EVER talk in real life! thanks! Lynae P.

MOD MOD MOD!!!! I,m getting my first phone tomorrow, and my mom says i should have a limt for calling she thought i should ask you guys because you guys are the best what are some good limts for calling? Hey babe, It depends on the phone plan. Is it a calling or a texting limit? You really have to judge it based on how often you tend to be texting or on the phone, while keeping in mind that you have to be really careful about going over. Jordan S.

i text my crush all the time and people say he likes me hopefully we can go somewhere and if you're having trouble not sure if you should text him first, just send him "heyy"

mod mod mod mod I have been going to this dance studio for the past 11 years... i just joined a cometitive dance team there last year (so this is my second season). My problem is that all the competitive girls r friendly to me in a polite way, but not a genuine friend way. I go to school with a lot of them but we dont run in the same social circles (i hang out with "nerds" while they hang out with their friends on the schools dance team). I'm semi-shy bcuz i usually dont really make really good friends w/ everyone, but i always make an effort to be friendly to everyone at the studio bcuz ive been dancing with these girls for such a long time. Any tips on how to make true frends with them? thanks p.s. im in hs if that helps

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD So, I've liked this gut for a while now and he just posted on Facebook that he got a new phone and asked for people to message him their number. Should I send a message saying "hey I just met you and this is crazy but here's my number call me maybe" or should I hold off for a little? P.S. I don't have a cell so we never exchanged #'s and he flirts back when I flirt.

Help!!! I don't have a cell phone yet- all of my friends do!!!I can't text them, I ( can) call them but on my home phone... I am very responisble, save all my money - right now I have about 5,000 dollars in my bank account, do chores without getting allowance, help around the house, get straight A -s ...... the list goes on and on. My point? How can I convince my parents to let me have a cell phone? Limited texting and calling? Paying for half of it ( I already tried paying for the whole thing, they refused)help!!! What should I do.

I love txting my bf and what goes on back and forth. Yes, it has gotten kind of routine and old so these are great suggestions. I will say that texting your bf is not the same as texting your crush because with your bf there should be more trust so you can kind of say and do different things. But I loved when things got flirty when I didnt have a bf and it was all texting to crushes or guys I liked.

MODMODMODMOD. Before I start I just wanna thank all the mods for such great advice all the time! Ok so here is my issue. I like a guy that I barely know personally but he's "popular" so a LOT of girls are constantly flirting with him in real life and all over his Facebook. I like him because he's funny and adorable lol. I wanna get to know him but it's really discouraging when a ton of gorgeous girls are always trying to date him. Is he even worth it? How do I come off as not some groupie girl? Hey babe, As long as you're not falling all over him, there's no reason he would consider you a "groupie girl." In fact, your best bet for standing out amongst those girls is to be different, such as by not being a groupie girl. There's no reason he wouldn't find you equally as pretty as those girls, so don't let yourself be intimidated by them. Like I said, try to stand apart from them. Tease him, get to know him in ways that they probably don't, actually take the time to befriend him and not just treat him as a "boyfriend potential" piece of meat, you know? Jordan S.

***MOD**** please help! okay so last night i had a school dance... I really wanted to dance with this guy and people told me he liked me.. but he already was dancing with this other girl.. so for the first slow song, he was dancing with her.. then for the second slow song.. he tapped me on the shoulder in the most romantic way and he asked me to dance.. i said yes.! so we were dancing.. and then after the dance whatever.. i went home and we were texting...but everyone told me he still sorta likes that other girl but he also likes me... so how do i win him over her?? Hey babe, Give him a reason to like you more! Show him how much of a great gal you are by continuing to get close with him. He obviously is interested in you, so try to return the flirtation and hints to see where it goes from there. But if he seems like he may be two-timing you, and it begins to hurt you, don't stand for it. Make him choose. But only if it gets to the point where it hurts you, or where he's trying to date you both. Jordan S.

MOD MOD MOD: I've known my crush for like 3 years because he went to my school but, he just graduated last year. The thing is when I text him he texts me back a couple times but, then he kinda just drops off without an explanation. I'm just confused and I don't know why he does it. Sometimes he answers back a few hours later but, most of the time he just stops. Also I usually have to start the conversation when we text and it's getting annoying. What should I do about all of this? Hey girlie, I know this may not be what you want to hear, but it sounds like he's not quite feeling it anymore. Chances are that when he graduated, he moved on and met new people There's still always the chance that he doesn't mean to ignore you. I do that all the time where I put down my phone and completely forget to respond. If you want to try and see what you can salvage, I'd plan some kind of way to hang out with him. Jordan S.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD Plllleeeeeaaasssee look at this! I've already asked and havent gotten a reply... I have a huge crush on this one guy, but I'm kinda shy and he goes for more forward, funny girls. Is there a way I can get the confidence to be like that? P.S. I'm not really trying to change myself only for a guy, I also do want to be braver and funnier. Thank You!!! <3 Hey girlie, That kind of confidence comes from yourself. You just have to believe that he is lucky to have you around and to get a chance to know you. That you are funny and confident, you just have to show him. As long as you convince yourself that you can do that, then you'll gradually become more like that. Jordan S.

MOD MOD MOD! A boy in my class (he'll be K) told me that my guy friend (he'll be R) likes me! I don't like R like that, he's a great friend but not someone I'd consider going out with. I'm also worried about losing our friendship. What should I do? (P.S. K is a really honest guy and wouldn't start a rumor like that if it wasn't true.) Hey girlie, If he hasn't come to you himself about liking you, then there really isn't any reason for you to need to do anything. You're perfectly fine just leaving things as they are and pushing the fact that you know how he feels into the corner of your mind. You may want to be extra careful about giving him the wrong idea by flirting with him and such, though. Jordan S.

MOD MOD MOD Ok,so,I like these 2 guys.I guy I sorta like,but he really likes me back.Then I like this other guy,but I don't think he likes me back.I really don't want to go out with the guy who who likes me,but he is my best friend,and so sweet to me.The other guy is sweet and kind,and he is also my best friend.We text some,,and the guy who likes me will always reply.We always play some in our text,but also get some seriousness in it.We write letters to each other,and he always writes sweet short letters.But,the other guy I like,we hardly ever text.I'll try to start a conversation,and he may say a few words in the whole conversation.He is really sweet to me,and my friend talks to him at school(since he doesn't go to school with me),and she had the feeling that he doesn't like.I'm really confused right now about who to pick...Please help!! Hey babe, It sounds to me like you already know the answer. The boy you're closer to is obviously the one you get along with better and in turn care about more. Maybe you just don't like him as much as you could because your attentions are focused on this other boy. Jordan S.

MOD MOD MOD: I am 11 years old,but I have the maturity of a 40 year old,or maybe even older. But,because of my maturity,I tend to fall for guys much older than me,like,6-7 years older. I see myself getting married to someone 6-7 years older,and being happy that way. But is it wrong to like guys older than me? I'm smart and I know not to do anything I'm not ready for. And there ARE guys that would be willing to wait for me. But,is it wrong for me to fall so deeply in love with older guys?
Hey MadMaddie911, we can't help who we like. I have a thing for older guys too. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as long as they aren't too old. Right now, since you're only 11, 6-7 years may be too old. Once you're in your 20s I think it should be okay. Hope this helps!Xoxo

Hey New_York_City, scheldue an appointment with your school nurse, and see if they reccommend you get glasses. If they say you do, let your parents know so they can take you to the doctors. Sounds like you really need them though. Xoxo

MOD!!! I texted my crush yesterday and he didn't respond (maybe because it was 'hey, what's up?') Should I try texting him back today, or wait and see if he texts me? He is supposed to be going to a band/choir organizational contest today, so he might have his phone on. (I am in band also, but I could not go ) Thanks!
Hey Bridgge2010, I think you should wait for him to text you back, especially because he's going to a concert. It might be busy during the day so give him some time to contact you. Hope this helps! Xoxo

MODMODMODMODMODMOD THIS IS URGENT!!! Ok, so I have this HORIBBLE crick in my neck. Like I can't stretch it. And I've had since yesterday al like 1. Do u have any ways to get rid of it, or at least ease the pain? I'm using a heating pad and some icy hot stuff. And then I have a volleyball game later today and I'm doing some charity work in a couple of hours. So anything that is fast, and works, would be really helpful!!! Thanks!! xoxo Maggie
Hey Maggie, yes applying heat or ice will help it go away. You could even try putting a few ice cubes into a sock and laying it on your neck. Even taking a hot shower might get rid of it. Taking ibuprofen could also work. Hope you feel better soon. Good luck on your volleyball game. Hope ya win! Xoxo
