  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
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.

I got a cute short strapless black dress as a hand me down, but the problem is, its too big. im not sure when i would wear it, but i might be able to make it a bit more casual with leggings or something. (so basically i could dress it up or down) any ideas on anything to do to make it so it fits me better? thanks!Smile




Hey babe! 

You can try to shrink it in the dryer. If that doesn't work, you can try to use it as a skirt by wearing a long sleeve sweater on top, or putting a cardigan over it. Or use a belt to draw the attention towards your thin waist! xoxox

Ok so my bf's birthday is on December 15 and its also going to be our 3 month anniversary. But i have absolutely no idea what to get him! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance(:




Hey babe! 

I think you should get him a date for his birthday! Maybe buy him concert tickets, or a bunch of DVDs he's wanted to see and popcorn. You'll make a memory together - and that's the perfect gift! xoxox

MOD MOD MOD ok so since Christmas is coming up, I just got a boyfriend and on December 25th it will be one month and 2 days so what can I get him for a present? I always have troubles cing up with ideas! Thank you!!




Hey babe! 

Since you haven't been dating for that long, I think you should give him another date - concert tickets, movie tickets, a picnic basket and blanket, whatever. He'll really appreciate the fact that you want to make future memories together! xoxo

OK! Here's my prob: I have a middle school winter dance coming up on December 10th. I want to buy a dress...but when my older sister was in middle school, she never bought a dress for any of her dances. But that's becuz when she was in middle school, the girls never dressed up! I don't want her to get mad when I come home with a dress.
The dress that I'm getting is only $15 so it's not expensive! How do I tell her without making her mad? I really want her to help me with my makeup...but she won't do that if she's mad!
Haley




Hey girl! 

I don't think your sister will be mad - I'm sure she'll understand that your school has changed a little bit, and she's probably bought some dresses for her high school dances. Good luck and have fun! xoxox

I like this guy......A LOT! But, i'm not allowed to date. help?




Hey babe! 

Why don't you sit the 'rents down and ask them to rethink their rule? Explain why you think you're mature enough to date and how great this guy is. Show them you're more responsible by picking up more chores around the house. Good luck! xoxox
