When boys ask me out, I always say no. It’s because I don’t like anyone that much and don’t need all that drama in my life. My friends think I should start dating so they always make fun of me about it, which makes me feel awkward and upset. How can I let the boys down in a way that won’t hurt their feelings?
 

Dear Heartbreaker,

It’s perfectly OK to say a sweet, “No, but thank you anyway,” with zero explanation, or, “Thanks, but I don’t want to date anyone right now.” If you’re not comfortable being so direct, you can let a guy down gently and tell him that your parents won’t let you date. No need to swear off boys forever, but it’s admirable that you listen to your heart rather than to other girls’ opinions. When friends jeer or push, remind yourself that their immaturity is their problem and not yours.

MOD MOD MOD!
im a freshman and have never had my first kiss. my friends have and i feel really weird for not having it yet. is it normal for me to feel weird or should i calm down about it?
also, both of my best friends have boyfriends and whenever im around htem i feel really weird. i mean, im happy for them, but its awkward being around them when theyre with their boyfriends! i feel like a third wheel. how can i feel less jealous and awkward? Frown THANKS!




Hey girl, trust me when I say I have friends in college (we're juniors!) who haven't had their first kiss yet. There's nothing wrong with that: they're just waiting for the right guy to share it with and so should you. As for the not having a boyfriend thing? Don't sweat it. There are so many guys out there, and someday you'll run into the one that's right for you. In the meantime, get to know as many people as you can and explore the things you're into. That's the best way to inevitably run into him – the guy who's also doing the thing you love.

So I really like this boy, I call him Senior Bingley or Mr. Lawls. And in March, He told me he liked me so I told him I liked him, but we never dated each other. Then in April we would text each other everyday for two weeks, then he lost his iPod (he couldn't text on his cell phone so he used an app on his iPod). Well, I never talked to him at school since I'm not the flirty, chatty type, even though we had all our classes together. So he pretty much stopped liking me. And then in June my friend told me he lied to me and never did like me and he never lost his iPod. So of course I get all mad and make a total fool of myself. But then the next, the same friend told me there was a misunderstanding and that he did like me, but he stopped liking me, and he did loose his iPod, but he found it but never did text me back because he didn't like me. So , I still like him. I still really, really like him. How can I make him like me again, despite our bad past?




Hey chica! 

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to make a guy like you - it kind of happens on its own. If I were you, I'd have a face-to-face conversation with this guy. It's much easier to figure out what he's feeling with the tone of his voice and his body language! Good luck Smile

Homecoming is coming up in September for my school and I'm kind of nervous. I want a guy to ask me but I don't know if they will. Sometimes I think I have a shot with a guy that I like and that he might ask me, but then I'll see him talking to some freakishly-skinny, super-pretty girl and I'll quickly get discouraged. I always start thinking, "Why would he like me when he has a girl like that around?"
Am I being too negative, or am I spot on?
This is tearing me apart!




Hey! You shouldn't be down on yourself. The truth is, dances are much more fun with your girlfriends. Dance with guys while you're there but don't get tied down.

Hey girls! If you like to read, write or both could you please join my club "Bookworms & Writers"? I am trying to reach at-least 55 members by the end of the week and right now I'm at 43. I would really appreciate your help! Smile

Hey girl,

Delete his number from your phone so you can't text him anymore, and think of why you broke up with him in the first place. x0x0
