I like this guy and I’m pretty sure he likes me, too. The problem is that his friends and I are like night and day. I literally couldn’t get along with them if my life depended on it. Apparently he was going to ask me out, but his friends talked him out of it. I have no clue what to do!
 
Dear Lost in His Eyes,
If you can’t stand his friends, that’s not a good sign. Think about why you like him and why you don’t like the guys he hangs out with. Just because you are attracted to a guy’s looks or smile doesn’t mean you two would make it as a couple. Proceed with caution. After all, you want to see eye to eye with a BF, not get lost in his eyes.

There's this boy in my class (I don't have a crush on him, but he would be my second crush) who's very depressed. We just got back from our camping trip yesterday and he's still sad. Someone close to him got leg surgery. Whenever I try to cheer him up, he moves away. Since I'm sort of a tomboy, he's one of my best guy friends. How can I cheer him up with out him thinking I have a crush on him or I'd bother him?

 

Hey girl! It's so nice of you to care about this boy, even if it's just in a friendly way.  It's too bad that he avoids you every time you try to cheer him up.  That's just the way some people deal with grief. If he won't let you talk to him you can text him, email him, or write him a letter one day just explaining that you're his friend and you're concerned about him. You can't force him to talk, but you can make sure he knows you're there for him.  For more options check out this page: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/04/HELP!2.aspx 

Good luck!

Okay, there is this boy I like... But he's my friend's bf. I know I like him, and I think he likes me too because he texted me saying he wants to talk to me, and because he flirts with me by always wanting to walk me to the bus or just likes to stand next to me. I know I like him because I had a dream where he came to my house and I fell asleep on his stomach. If I show my feelings toward him, things could end in disaster for me, my friend, and the boy. What do I do to shake the feelings that I have toward him???
Sorry for being so long.

 

Hey girlie! I know this is hard for you.  You don't want to hurt your friend, but are you supposed to just let this guy go? I recommend staying away from the guy until you can control your feelings.  You don't want to be the reason why he and your friend break up.  And you definitely don't want anything to happen between you two while they're still together.  If you do really like him ask yourself what kind of guy would go after his gf's friend? Is he really the guy for you? Put yourself in your friend's shoes, you wouldn't want your bf to flirt with other girls. So if he continues what he's doing while they're still together, just be blunt and tell him that it's not fair for him to treat you that way while he's dating your friend.  Good luck!
