Boys

Are guys intimidated by intelligence?

 

I don't know what it is, but guys just don't seem to be interested in me. I am fairly attractive I would say. I can talk to boys but they think of me as a friend and nothing more.


My friend said it's because I'm too smart. Are boys intimidated by my intelligence or do they just not like me?


Hey Chica,

You're so not alone! I can confidently tell you that there are many girlies who go through exactly what you're going through. And you know what? You can get an awesome guy! Here's how.


Use your brain to get boys
 

First tip? Forget about being "too smart." If a guy can't handle your intelligence, he's obviously not good enough for you. However, you gotta show guys that being smart isn't something to be scared of. Let them know that you can help them with their math test or their projects in chemistry. Offer some homework help to that hottie in history. That'll give you and the boys more to bond about.


Find a hottie with the same hobbies

And seek out some new studs. Total math geek? Join the mathletes. You'll meet guys who are just as dorky about dividing decimals as you are. Dream of being a defense attorney someday? See if your school has a debate team. Doing something you love will up your confidence even more. Guess what? Dudes always dig a gal who's happy and havin' a great time.


Just be good ol' YOU
 

Don't forget to relax. Sometimes guys simply don't see what's right in front of them! Just be yourself and allow them to see your chill side. Guys can definitely sense that you're worried or awkward around them. So just let everything roll naturally. Every girl has her Prince Charming...all you gotta do is believe!


Best Wishes,
Jeannie

KayBear14! on 1/25/2010 3:51:37 PM

so i go to a really small school where no 1 is aloud to take classes a grade above them but everyone tells me that i am really smart and i know that i am but i dont want to move up in classes but the school asked my mom and she said yes and didnt even bother to ask me about it and i dont want to at all. it just isnt fair. my mom and dad always told me that they wont make me move up in classes unless i want to but that is no longer an option. i need some advice.

There is this girl in school I'm realy good friends with, but yesterday we were talking bout boys, she told me she had a very very minor chush on a boy from shcool. I thought i hated him but when she told me i felt i took a hit to the gut with a baseball bat and shattered myrib cage,Whats wrong with me i should hate his guts, with that pesimistic aditide and those melting ice bue eyes.

 

Hey babes, sounds like jealousy. You are afraid that he will like her back and that you won't get attention from them. I would try to let it go, she really likes him and deserves a chance with him. xo JANA

MOD MOD MOD MOD! OK so I'm semi smart like i take honors classes and AP everything and the only classes I have with other people are lunch and gym so i don't see a ton of people other than them. I really like this guy but he's not in anything so we don't talk much and I'm really shy like I don't talk to anyone who i haven't known for like ever. for example some of my locker buddies joke around with me and my best bud and they are like i have a theory that smart people don't talk and then like and two examples are right here. and my other locker buddies on the other side say that I'm intimidating cause i never talk so he doesn't know what to say to me. I don't mean to be anti-social i just have really bad people skills and i don't want to seem stupid. how can i open up and branch out to other people without making a complete fool of myself? thanks

 

Hey missy, whenever you talk to someone and get tongue tied think about what you'd like them to say to you. For example, if you see your crush and wanna talk to him, think about what you'd want him to say to you. If it's that you want him to ask you about your interests and plans for the weekend, ask him that. The only way for you to get better at talking to people is to start talking to people. You know how they say practice makes perfect, well it's the same with this. The more you talk to people, the better you'll get at it. So start chatting. Smile

I really like this guy. And I thought that he liked me too but im realy confused. sometimes he ignores me but other times hes really nice and cool. i try to act like i don't notice hes ignoring me and just talk to other people and be myself. we have gym and english together im very klutzy and cant play sports for my life so sometimes if were on the same team he'll help me out and then smile about it later and laugh about it together. in english we sit next to each other and ill glance up out of the corner of my eye and catch him starring at me and hes always looking in my direction but then when i start to play along he stops and starts talking to the girl who sits next to him (our friend). does he like me or not?




Hey babe! Sounds like this has some potential! Def keep chatting with him and see where things go!

MOD!!! I have an ex-boyfriend who dumped me because one of the boys on my bus told him that I was breaking up with him. After that, he got back together with his old girlfriend but he still keeps acting weird around me and likes to tease me and my friend. Also, my best friend (who knew him since she was 3) keeps hinting at me about getting back together with him. . . What should I do?

 

Hey girlfriend, if he's not with is girlfriend anymore and if you still like him, talk to him. Ask him if he'd like to get back with you. I'ms ure he still has some feelings for you considering the only reason you guys broke up was because of a rumor. So make a move! Smile

We're having break for thanksgiving and I've been talking to my crush online. I just got a new phone and I'm really excited, but how can I tell him without it sounding like "gimme your phone number"?
Thanks




Hey girl, try bringing up your new phone and talking about how you'd like a few contacts. If you have a Facebook, you could also invite him to join a phone group: that way you get the number of your other friends too -- just make sure the group is secret to keep your numbers under the wraps.

MOD MOD MOD okay,so I have a question, I like this guy, the only class I have with him is band and he looks at me a lot! but I'm not sure if he is looking at me or not cause I sit in the front row and there are people behind me. so do you think he likes me? Also I am really not good at talking to guys so asking him if he likes me is not a good option for me! oh yeah 1 more thing, my crush's best friend (who is in all of my classes) looks at me a lot too. I don't really know what's going on but I need some help, if someone could just spare a minute to help me please! thank you!

 

Hey girl, he may or may not like you. Try talking to him. Read this article to learn how to flirt. It really helps! Smile

I am 12, and i'm not exactly how to put this into a question so here it goes. It seems like all of my friends have a nice,funny great boyfriend and I don't even know anyone who likes me! Ive never had this problem before, ive always been able to get a boyfriend, I just havent had one for awhile. I mean im pretty, and smart, and I play sports and have a good personalty. Its not like I have no confidence or anything. I just feel like out of all of my friends im the only one that doesnt have a boyfriend or anyone that likes me! Can I have some advice on what to do? (sorry not sure how to put this all into a question) it also would be nice if could get some help on how to tell if a guy(s) like me or not????

 

Hey girl! Somtimes girls just get to that point later than other girls. Be yourself and the right guy will come along soon enough. Don't worry too much about it just keep doing your own thing!

I go through the same problem. I am really smart too, (not to be snobby) and I have a lot of guy friends. None of them are interested in me. But I noticed that there were tons of other guys out there that are smart like me. I used to think that it would be weird for me to date somebody "not popular enough". But in the beginning of the school year, I was in a new class and a really smart and nice guy was in my math class. We talked all the time and started hanging out. When he asked me out, I was really excited. I noticed that if you find a guy who is really smart too, they don't care if you're smart enough. Just be yourself nd the right guy will come!!

libbycm135 on 11/17/2009 6:57:49 PM

I am really smart and advanced in school and guys don't really like me either. I am pretty attractive, not mean, but not too popular either. And sorry, kelsey.m.16, playing dumb is never the answer. I think I am also very unique, not go-with-the-crowd-and-wear-the-same-brands-as-everyone-else-in-your-whole-class at all. Which could be seen as intimidating...

Hey girl! If he's talking to you through texts and at school, I bet he's definitely into you. He wouldn't take the time to talk to you if he wasnt

MOD MOD MOD There's this guy I like that's a year older than me and we're both in high school. He says he doesn't like anyone even after I told him I liked him. We text often but it seems like he doesn't want to meet up later even in a group. My friends mentioned he may be using me to get other my friends opinions on him and he is sort of insecure about that. I just don't see why he would continue to text me if he just isn't into me like that. What is this guy's deal and what should I do?

 

Hey girl! He may just like you as a friend. You can keep hanging out with him and being friendly but try doing your own thing and maybe crushing on a new guy!

Hey girl! It sounds like he likes you, and he just might be shy.
Wait a while and try to hang out with him, he might tell you when you
guys are alone. Just keep the flirting up and see what happens!

Okay, so yesterday I went to this dance. There were tons of slow songs and pretty much everyone had already danced with a guy at least once, except me. I was really bummed out, and I told one of my friends about it, so she tried to get someone to dance with me. Well, she asked like three guys, and all of them were like "Ummmm, NO!"
or "HECK NO!". One of them ended up dancing with HER! Then the last slow song popped up and EVERYONE found a partner except me. It was so weird. Even the weird girls who don't fit in so well danced with eighth grade guys. Then one of my friends started to dance with my crush, and she knew that I had a crush on him. SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE HIM! When I came home I just started to bawl and I couldn't sleep yesterday because I couldn't stop thinking about it. My dad just told me that they're intimidated by me. I be nice to everyone and I just be myself, and I am pretty cute. I just don't understand this! I feel like crap.




Hey babe! Your dad is right, they probably are just intimidated by you.  you are an awesome girl and will have plenty of opportunities in the future to dance with guys. I promise!  I've been in your shoes before and it really sucks not to have someone to dance with when all of your friends do.  Remember how amazing you are, and that just because your friend danced with your crush doesn't mean they're going to start dating.  I think you should sit down with your friend and let her know that it bothered you.  She really hurt you by dancing with your crush, and it wasn't considerate of her at all!  There will be other chances for dancing.  Try to keep your head up, believe in yourself, and remember all the characteristics you have that other girls don't! You're unique and beautiful! Good luck chattin with your friend!

UGH HELP ME GET THROUGH DIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hey girl, try texting this guy and telling him carefully that while you appreciate him looking out for you, you really like this new guy. Don't lead him on. Continue acting as if you don't know he likes you. Ask him if there's anything wrong/if there's anything going on with him because he's not himself. Approach this as a concerned friend and let him tell you he likes you if he's ready. And if he does? Just politely tell him you're super flattered, but you only see him as a friend and you don't want to lose what you have. He's going to be sore def, but it's better the truth comes out now than later.

I have 3 things 2 say. Sorry this is long.
Two days ago, my crush's bff (Anthony) tried prank calling me from his fone even tho I have his # and then he sent me a pic of my crush's other bff(Nick). Is something weird about this? He's prank called me 2 times b4.
Yesterday, 1 of my bffs and bgf started goin out. I liked him til then and they both knew that. So, I'm kinda mad and jealous and happy for them, I don't know what to think!
Also yesterday, my crush(Sean) walked in my classroom (the science room) when we were supposed to be going to homeroom, either he didn't realize he was in the wrong place or he was gonna sit in his seat on purpose, it's the seat next to my homeroom seat!!
Today I heard Sean say something about me, I wanna know what he said cuz I def heard my name, he was sayin something 2 Nick, I think about the pic, but I don't know.
I've had a very eventful 3 days. Can u help me sort through any of it?




Hey girl, the first one does sound a li'l weird -- maybe he's hinting Nick likes you? As for the BFF/BGF dilemma, it may be hard, but put your resentment aside. Know they're happy and while you may be a little sore, you should cheer 'em on. You'll find that perf guy for you and maybe closer than you think! As for your last sitch? Hate to say it, but all signs seem to be pointing to the fact there might be something up with Nick and you. See where it goes and don't sweat it too much for now. Time will give you the answers you want. (;

There's this guy at school that I'm becoming really close friends with lately. I like him and I think he might like me back. Whenever I talk to him outside of class, everything's fine between us. But when we see each other in geometry things get really awkward and he seems scared to talk to me. I hate when things are awkward between us. Can you think of anything I could do to fix this?




Hey girl, the best way to deal with the ice is to just break it.  Try playfully teasing him about the way he acts -- i.e. is something up in math class? Be playful and light about it. Somewhere in the jesting, you might get to the root of the problem.

I'm so confused, I don't know if I have a crush on my BGF. I'm always looking forward to seeing him, but I never get nervous when I'm around him. I just feel like myself. But I always like talking to him, and I get really jealous when he doesn't pay attention to me. Or I don't know if everything is in my head because to me, it seems like he actually has a crush on me. What's going on?????




Hey girl! You might like him. You should try to hang out with him and get to know him better so that you can see what you really feel.

Well, I don't think guys are intimidated by intelligence, really. Like, I get good grades, but I know a lot of guys that have liked me. And sorry, that sounds really stuck-up and everything, but I have a 4.0 GPA and at least seven guys have had a crush on me since the beginning of the year. (And I'm not guessing... either them or their friends told me that they liked me.) But actually I think intelligence can help, because they kinda use my grades as an excuse to talk to me... asking for help in class or texting me later for homework help, or just teasingly calling me a nerd. Which I am, but still. =)

I'm going to be seeing a crush at a party Saturday night. I used to be WAY nervous around him, but lately I've been more bold and I can talk to him with no problem. =] The only thing is, he's kind of quiet and I seem to run out of things to say easily when conversing with him... What are some topics I can bring up? We are both into art and some other stuff, so I could always say something about that... But what? "Been making any art lately?" LOL Help!




Hey babe, good for you for making the first, bold move! I would ask him what kinds of music and movies he's into right now or yea, ask him what artists he's been following. Just be casual and confident and you'll do fine!

There are rumors that he likes my bff's (she's in 8th like me) sister (10th grade like him). There are also rumors that someone in 8th grade likes him, which is true, my bff has a huge crush on him. Except, my bff didn't tell her sister that she liked him so now when my bff's sister told him the rumor that he was 'popular with the 8th grade chics' he was like who? Then he automatically thought of me. He won't even say hi to me anymore. This really bugs me because no one beleives that I don't like him at all because I won't tell them the name of the 8th grade guy I really do like! And this is all going on behind my back too! My bff, her sister and the guy are the ones talking about me and this whole thing. What should I do? I want to either talk to her sister or him about it, but I don't see how I could get them to beleive/ and or listen to me without saying my bff is the one who likes the guy and the name of the 8th grade guy I like. Help?!?!??

 

Hey girl! Happy Birthday! Sounds like you are in a really sticky
situation. You should try talking to everyone so that the understand
the truth. You might want to also give everyone some time to cool down
before you talk to them.

i so felt like that but you just have to wait for the right guy. I did and it worked i now have a BF. But my point is don't stress the right guy will come along and like u for who u are and thats all that matters.

That's true.
I skipped a grade, and no boy will even look at me.Frown Despite my friend Jason, but he's more of a friend of friend.

MOD MOD MOD There's this guy I like that's a year older than me and we're both in high school. He's so confusing and I can't tell if he likes me or not. We talk in class all the time and friday he walked and talked with me until we had to split ways because he goes right and I keep going straight. We both text each other a lot, and usually I start the texting with just a 'heyy wat's up' or something, but recently, he started texting me first. It was only once, but I still thought it was an interesting change. Sometimes I see him in the hallway and for some reason I freeze, like later I don't remember if I smiled at him when he passed or not. That doesn't happen that often, thank goodness, but I still wonder what's up with that when it does happen. I invited him to the movies with a bunch of other people a few weeks ago and he said he would if he could but he might have a baseball game. He never answered my texts later that weekend. Just last week, I found out he apparently hates the one of the girls in his grade that was coming. I thought that might be why, and also because his ex-girlfriend was going. I didn't think that would be a problem because it was in middle school about 4 years ago. Could that be why he didn't show? Afterward, he seemed fine and still talks to me in class and all. Also, he texted me first after the whole movie ordeal. I'm just getting so many mixed signals and I wanna know what's up. Sorry it's so long, but I'd really really really appreciate it if this confusion was cleared up! Thanks so much!

 

Hey girl! It could be why he didn't show. Things like exes can still be pretty awkward for some people. It was good that he texted you following that though. Keep talking to him and being yourself. Something could turn up soon. It certainly sounds like you have a good foundation!

MOD! There's this guy that sits in front of me in my civics class and is also in my spanish class. I think i'm really starting to like him because he's nice (unlike most guys in my grade) and he wants to be in the military and is really genuine. I want to start talking to him more so that he'll notice me a little bit. He's already talked to me a couple of times but they're like 1 minute convos. Any suggestions on what to say to him?

 

Hey girl! Sounds like you have a good in! Try talking to him more and asking him questions. It will show you're interested without going overboard!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! i REALLY need advice! Okay so i am 15 going on 16 and i weigh 160 lbs and am 5'4.I play sports so i have some muscle. But I know that i am overweight and i try to exercise and eat healthy every day but it seems like its not doing anything!I am extremly sick and tired of being fat! Do you know any diet drinks or pills that really work? Please help me!

 

hey girl!  I unfortunately don't know any diet drinks and pills that work.  As far as I've gathered, they don't usually work all that well.  Maybe if you focus on more fat-burning workouts like cardio and try to slim down your portions, it'll help a bit.  Besides that, you sound really healthy.  I'm not exactly sure what your diet is like but if you swap some of the carbs and meats for fruits and veggies, you'll probably lose some weight too.  I hope this helps!  best, Kristen

soccernerd,
hey! sorry, school's pretty hectic. but as for this new younger guy, i think there's a good chance he likes you! you should keep flirting and see where it goes. maybe get his number, ask about his school, mention yours, or anything really. sounds good, and no offense, less complicated than the junior!

TwilightLuva8 on 11/8/2009 8:02:33 PM

MOD MOD MOD Okay, so I like this guy and he's a year older than me. We're both in high school. We text often and talk in class literally every day. We also talk about more than what's happening in class, like what we're doing and music and movies and other things like that. The problem is I was texting him today and he said he was probably going to drop out of that class. I'm not gonna try and change his mind if he thinks that's what he has to do, but I'm worried we won't talk as often. We just met this year in that class and if he drops... We were in the same lab group but when we switched he didn't talk to me as often. I don't even wanna think about what it'll be like if we aren't in the same class. I'm kinda bummed out and not really sure what I should do. Oh, and does he like me? I mean, sometimes I think so but other times not. But he didn't have a problem with talking about dropping his only class with me and I think he was serious.

 

Hey girl!  I'm not really sure if he like syou or not, but he def likes talking to you!  you can always jokingly say, "what am I going to do without you there to talk to?" when he brings up dropping the class.  But if you really like him, you can still text him and call him on the phone.  Also, since you won't see each other in class everday, you can def get together over the weekend to hang out!  best, Kristen

****MOD**** Ok, well can you tell me if this guy likes me? we have been friends since like 4th grade. WE ALWAYS hang out with each other, and have funny little voices we talk with to each other. Whenever he passes me in the hall, he smiles and tries to stop me so i can talk to him. we make so much eye contact and smile at each other in health class. we also hang at tennis together, and sometimes go down to the beach and sit on the steps. and everytime his friend comes, i ask him that his friend should i join our "group" thing, but he says its our little thing. So, does he like me?

 

Hey girl!  It's hard to say, but it sounds like he does have a little crush on you.  If you are into him, feel free to flirt a bit when you're alone.  Things could defiinitely work out.  Best, Kristen

I like this guy...doesnt everyone 8)..any way...he is sweet, nice, interesting, thoughtful, and he is a year younger than me. I like him and i only see him at church and today when i sat by him and our arms were touching and i tested him to see if i moved would he try to go by me again so i moved my arm and he moved his by mine. He also trys to do nice things for me and he always hugs me. He told me today he doesnt have a gf and he doesnt like anyone at his school( i dont go to his school) then he smiled when i asked him about it. He smiles at me all the time and looks at me.
