Should I ditch my BF for my new crush?

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
I have a boyfriend who I don’t really like. I want to break up with him, but I’m too scared that he’ll get really upset. The thing is, I like someone else. I want to ask him out, but I can’t unless I break up with my boyfriend first. And what if my new crush says no? I’m afraid to be single. Am I completely insane? HELP!
 
Dear Stuck with One, Stuck on Another,
You’re not insane, and it certainly makes sense to break up with a guy you don’t really like. But slow down before asking out the new guy, and don’t be afraid of being single. At most schools, the majority of girls and guys are single—especially at the beginning of the school year. Besides, do you really want to be holding hands with someone new right after a breakup? It's time to let your BF know that he’s about to be your ex-BF. Be civil, clear and as gentle as possible. Tell him you think you two would be better as friends, or that your parents aren’t OK with you dating, or that you need to focus on homework, or that your feelings have changed. The words may sound cheesy or awkward, but its better than staying silent when the good times are over, and better than just sending a text.

There's this really cute guy, who doesn't know we share the same planet. He holds the door open for everyone coming in after a short outside break, so should that be a good time for me to say something? How should I talk to him?




Hey girl,

Yes! Perfect opportunity! Say something like "Thanks!," then stop and say something else like, "Oh that shirt looks great on you" or "I saw you guys playing Frisbee at gym today, you're so good!" It'll catch his attention and definitely make him look at you a second time. Start off small and then you can work on chatting more and more Smile

Okay, so there's a guy two of my good friends like. I used to be best friends with one of them, but she drifted off to some mean girls. The other girl and I argue a bit too much to be best friends. Anyway, I'm starting to like that guy. I've never liked any guys they've liked before, so thats not a repeating problem. I'm trying to block these feelings out, but I just can't. I don't know what to do.




Hey girl,

You all might like this guy, but we're forgetting one thing here - what does he feel? Does he like you? Does he like either of them? Because you all could LOVE him but, if he's not interested, nothing will happen! So there's no reason causing drama or going public with your feelings until you're sure he feels them too. Try talking to him more and casually flirting just to see how he feels. If he doesn't seem into it, that's ok - he's allowed to have his own feelings and, honestly, in this case it makes it easier for you to let it go!

Heyyyooooo ok so do guys like when gir
S are taller than them bc my bf is like 3 inches shorter than me hahaha well is tht ok or does he feel like weird? Thanks bye!




Hey Girl,

If your BF is dating you, chances are he doesn't feel weird that you're taller than him. So if it seems okay to him, then no need to worry! Check out this post for a guy's point of view.

MOD,MOD,MOD My best friend has this problem and usually i am the ultimate advice giver but this one i just cant get a good grasp on. She had a boyfriend, a guy shes dated before(football type) and brokeup with him cuz he practically ignored her and this time she had the same problem. Well she moved to a new house within the town and met this neihbor boy (the skater type)He asked her out but she said she hada boyfriend. She decided to break up with the ignores her boy and said maybe theyd try again after his football season to see if thats the reason for his ignoring her and then she made the mistake of going out with the neighbor rite after they broke up. Now she says she misses theboy she broke up with and doesnt know what her feelings are for her current bf.how can i help wheni have only ever had 1 bf and imstill with him now for more than 2 1/2 years. Her stitch is outta my league and idk which boy is outta her league,HELP!!!!

 

Hey girly, this is a tough stitch. Maybe she should take a break from guys, just so she can have time to decide who she really wants to be with. Tell her to take some "me time" where she spends time with herself or her girlfriends where she doesn't worry about guys. After she's had time to make her time, tell her to make a decisicion. Hope this helps!!! Smile Smile
