My crush doesn't speak English

There’s this boy in my class that I really like, but he never notices me. Well, he does. He can’t understand me. He speaks Spanish!


Ay, caramba! Since you can't learn an entire language in a night's study sesh (kudos if you make it your New Year rezzie to learn the basics), you’ve gotta find easier ways to chit chat with him.


If he’s new to the country, he’ll probably start to pick up English soon, and then you’ll be able to have a conversation with him. The good news is, though, it’s not that hard to learn how to say, “Hi, my name is…” in Spanish. Just in case you don’t know, that’s “Hola, me llamo…” and it is pronounced “me yam-OH.” Since it's the holidays, be sure to wish him a “Feliz Navidad,” too!


Busting out some convo starters will show that you made an effort to break the language barrier to talk to him, so he’ll probably be impressed. And don’t be embarrassed if you flub! Chances are, he'll think it’s cute and can relate to trying to learn another language. Plus, you could ask him to teach you some Spanish vocab while you help him master English. Que bueno!


No matter what, do your best and amp up the body language. You two might not speak the same language, but a smile is universal, so flash your pearly whites to your crush and attempt a convo!

MOD!
So,theres this girl that I used to be friends with,and now she thinks she's so popular.She'll walk around like no one exists,she'll wear REALY revalling clothes(Short skirts and crop top with no under shirt,we are in 6th grade),and she's turning my other friends against me.I hate the way she acts and treats other people.She is so annoying! I even had to remove myself from the dance was at last night because of her.She recently started a roumor about me having this head-over-heels crush on one of my really close guy friends.It irks me how many people think shes the sweetest thing in the world wile she puts me down.She tells me I'm no good at anything.Is there any way you can help me with this?Thanks.

Hey girl,

Sorry your friend's being unkind -- she probably just wants attention. If she's putting you down, there's no reason to keep spending time with her, so try to do things with other friends and disregard what she says.

MODMODMOD! No other mods have responded so i hope this is different Smile okay so i really like my bgf, which is also the brother of my friend on my cheer squad. he has told two of my friends he likes me, and he knows i like him, but he told my friends he liked me maybe a month ago, and nothing has happened since. i see him a lot at my cheer competitions and i dont really know what to do, especially with my first middle school dance coming up. any ideas? thanks SmileSmileSmile

 

I think you need to talk to him. Try starting up a convo and just get to know him. That will help him notice you and will get the ball rolling. Good luck! xoxo kerra
