Two guys like me, and they are brothers! They each asked me out, and I don’t know what to do because both of them are my best friends.

Dear Oh Brother,
Why go out with either of them? You may not need to say anything, but if you feel compelled to speak up try, “I really like being close friends with both of you, and I don’t want that to change.” By not choosing, you are doing them a favor because sibling rivalry can be tricky and hurtful.

SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

Dear MOD!
So I like this guy and everyone says he likes me and he goes out of his way to talk to me and everything but then one day one of his good friends asked me out of course I said noo but now he won't talk or look at me. Frown did I do something wrong ?!?!? What should I do I'm so confused. I still like himFrown




Hey girlie. He could just be being a good friend to his friend. I'm sure his buddy is upset that you said no, so he prob advised all his friends to stay away from you. Just give it some time and all the boys will get over it.

Hey girlie -- the last thing you wanna do is go against your parents wishes, as you don't want to lose their trust. Nonetheless, you should talk to your guy friend about your feelings regarding things between you two.

MOD!
okay so there is this guy in my grade named holden and most of the girls in my grade like his older brother. I never noticed his brother until my friends metioned it. I have a major crush on his brother who is a 2 yrs older than me. I have been friends with Holden since 3rd grade and I am developing a small crush on him. I think im going crazy because holden asked me to prom. I really like him and his brother, what should I do???????????




Hey girl,

Yikes.. tough sitch! The best thing to do here is make a choice based partly on your head and partly on your heart. The head part is easy: would it really ever be possible to date Holden's older bro? It could even be one of the reasons why you have the crush - he's older and unattainable, which is definitely attractive to some girls! Now to the heart part - which one makes you happier? Which one is funny, shares your interests, respects you, etc.? It's tough but ya gotta weigh the options and figure out which one would make you happiest overall. But make sure you don't miss out on something awesome just because you're holding out for something that seems "perfect." Aside from that advice, ya gotta make this decision on your own <3

Im feeling this guy who is a complete different race than me, i feel like he might be interested because of the way he looks at me but i dun know and i don't wanna be silly because what if he's guy who sticks to his own.I usually stick to my own but lately my mind has expand and if anything were to happen i know alot of my friends and my ex especially my ex would be making big deal out of it and talk about it. Should i just see what happens i just don't know it's wierd because i almost feel like a traitor or something and i know i shouldn't.




Hey girlie!

That's great that you are interested in someone from another race--there is absolutely nothing wrong with that!  I think it would be more of an issue if you were not interacting with people of various races! Have fun and see how things go..if a guy likes you, his actions will show it and he'll make an effort to hang out with you Smile

I think i like my best friend his names Killian and he just super nice to me used to ask to sit on the bus with me EVERYDAY but latley somethings change about him. Hes trying to be popular he doesnt text me he still comes to my house every tuesday along with my friend he likes (so i cant even talk to him) and he never asks me to sit on the bus with him. Hes almost completely changed. Its really upsetting for me what should i do Frown(




Hey girlie,

Try talking to him and seeing if he wants to hang out or do something fun as friends!  Try not to worry too much about it...if he wants to see you, he should make an effort to (maybe he's just going through a tough time).  Spend time with other friends as well and maybe he'll come around!

At my dance this Friday, what are some flirty/cute things I can do to interest a guy into asking me to dance? We're all walking around hurriedly trying to find partners to dance with (and since they are girls and guys schools meeting, I don't know any of the guys so I can't really play it safe with my best guy friends or anything.) For example, should I smile and wave, or is that too assertive? Should I just hold my eye contact a second longer than usual when I spot a cutie?
Thanks!
xoxo Mackenzie

 

Hey girlie, give them the eye which is just stare/hold their stare for a 3 seconds smile and give a small wave

MODMODMOD i have a social friday, which is like a super casual dance (i mean like jeans and tops, not even like skirts, yet alone dresses) its a sort of western theme, but i really dont wanna wear plaid. i was thinking of wearing a floral peasant blouse with cuffed skinny jeans and leather vintage western flip flops, with my hair in a sid braid. does that sound cute? cuz even though we can't go together, i'm meeting my crush at the entrance and we're walking in together, i really wanna impress him Smile thanks!

 

 

Hey girly girl! That sounds super cute!! Smile

MOD MOD MOD I go to an all-girls school. My friend Zoe slowdanced with a guy named Cory at one of our dances (boys schools invite girls schools). I got his number from her. Cory had a crush on Zoe, but she likes a different guy (and Cory knows that). Anyway, Cory and I have been texting for about 2 1/2 months now and I sort of like him. (He sort of likes me as well). We've never met each other, but I've seen pictures. He's really nice and pretty cute. I'm going to see him at a dance Friday... any tips on what to talk about, weather to mention Zoe or not, etc.? Thanks so much! xoxo Mackenzie

 

 

Hey chickadee! I wouldn't mention your friend Zoe too much. You want him to be thinking about you, rather than her. I'd just get to know him. Ask him about his family... his school... and if he plays any sports Smile

I am sure that when you were little you imagined you would be a supermodel or something... i know i thought i would be a rockstar! And you definetley are pretty because every girl is. Stop freaking out and remember that a little girls expectations aren't always reasonable.

I have a UGLY ROOM! Everything is handed-down, beaten up and different shades of wood! I have white wood, mahogany wood and dark wood that are all scribbled on with crayolas, water-damaged, old & outdated. I have NO color scheme. My walls are a ugly grey, trim a off-white, bedspread that looks like a grandpas holey green shirt, stained lace & pink (wannabe) curtains. We don't have money. My mom won't let me paint anything. I'm embarrassed to have friends over and I can't use anything around the house because its the same!!
:,(
What do I do?




Hey girlie! There are many DIY projects available online that you can use to spruce up your room. Try Googling "homemade room decor" and you'll come across many ideas for how to change your room without breaking the bank. And just because you can't paint, tapestries -- or pieces of colorful cloth --  are perfect for adding color to rooms you can't change with paint. If push comes to shove, you can try doing chores, or finding a job (whether it be McDonald's or tutoring) and saving up for the projects that need a little "more" (i.e. the cloth and such) Smile

Heyyy! Im really confused...
There is this guy who has a crush on me and before he was all making me feel special and making me laugh. Now he avoiding me and doesn't talk to me anymore. Then today one of his best friend asked me if i like him or not because he likes me. Wait... so does he like or not?




Hey girlie! The best way to find out is to go to the source -- simply ask him "what's up?" with regard to his hot and cold behavior.
