For Thanksgiving, I was out of town with my family and noticed a lot of guys checking me out. Now that I’m home, I want to tell my friends how silly guys look when they gawk at me. How do I do that without bragging?


Dear Don’t Want to Boast,
If your inner censor tells you to beware, listen. When a girl goes on and on about guys checking her out, it makes other girls feel less confident about themselves. It won’t make them like you any extra, either. While it’s nice to be noticed, keep that good feeling to yourself. You can even say, “I met some cute boys.” But if you say anything even close to “I got checked out,” that’s not sharing—that’s boasting, which you say you don’t want to do.

Mod!
I think this guy likes me. Two of my friends said they saw him sneaking glances at me. I don't know because he doesn't seem like he would like me. He went skiing with me two days ago even though I'm a really bad skier and he said that I did really well. Does he like me or does he not?




Hey girlie,

Just based on this info, I can't tell if he likes you or not! Try to talk to him somehow - online, in person around a group of friends, etc. Get to know him better (and let him get to know you). You'll have a better chance of figuring him out if you are closer to him!

MOD!!!
So I've been dating this guy for two months, almost three. There's gonna be a winter formal at school soon and of course, we're going together. I REALLY want him to kiss me, and I think he wants too as well. So how can I show him that he doesn't have to be afraid and if he wants to kiss me he can? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!




Hey chickie,

No problem! There is a really easy way to hint that you'd like to take your relationship to the next level...be a bit more affectionate! Before the dance and on your way to it, put your hand lightly on his back as you're walking, on his arm, or against his leg. Try holding hands as you go into the dance! If he says something funny or gives you a sweet compliment, say "Oh, thank you!" and lean in to give him a light hug/subtle kiss on the cheek. All these things will let him know that you're comfortable around him and that you'd be totally fine with a kiss! Smile

Hello! I love how you "mods" always help people and give the best advice. I so want to help people,and all my besties say that I give great advice.I was wondering, could I be a "mod"? If yes, how?




Hey babe,

If you're 18 years old (or older), click here and scroll down to the "WHERE" section for all the details. If you're almost 18, hang in there - you can apply soon! If you're younger, don't worry. Try starting an Advice Queen club and offering your advice to girls on the site!

MOD !!
Hey so I like this guy N and he likes me back. We can't date yet, cause he has to get an A on a test first, but we're going to. Today he kissed me Smile The only thing is I'm not exactly too sure what to do during a kiss.... do you move your lips, are your eyes open or what? I'm so so confused. Also we want to hang more but both of our parents are kinda strict with "dating" any suggestions???
Thanks so so so much Smile btw we're both 15




Hey chica,

Haha, kisses are totally mind-boggling...til you do it a few times! Then you feel way more comfy with them. Slowly close your eyes as you move closer to each other, then keep your eyes closed during the kiss. Try lightly puckering your lips but keeping them soft and relaxed. Don't move your lips during the kiss, but you can vary the length of each kiss by pulling away slightly, then tilting your head and kissing again. Relax and go with the flow...trust me, it'll feel totally natural after you do it more often!
