  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
Looking to snag your crush in the new year? Not quite getting the attention of that boy across the room? For you girlies with a New Year's resolution to hone your flirting skills, we've put together a list of six no-fail tips. The best part? These are the rules that generally slip your mind.
 
He's just as shy as you are. Walking up and starting convo or making a move on a girl is a real feat for him. By not always forcing him to be the one to do those things, you automatically stand out from all of the rest.

It's all in the body language. The majority of your flirting masterpieces are things you aren't even aware of. When you're genuinely interested in somebody, your body reacts differently on it's own. Oddly enough, his body will pick up on these signals and react the same way if he's into you as well. Next time you see yourself leaning toward him or facing him all the time, just let it happen, chica.

Never close off. There's no bigger stop sign for a boy than when you clam up and shut down. So, those things you do instinctively, like crossing your arms, turning your body away, or not speaking much, are taking you out of the game before you could even cross the starting line.

Work with what you've got. Each girl has a different style to work with. Some of us can really pull off the coy thing, or the best friend thing. Or maybe you're an outgoing flirt or a subtle flirt. Find out what style you do best and master it.

Keep the ball rolling. Flirting is like ping pong game. It's all about the back and forth. You can't have a good game if he's not into it, just like he can't really play without you volleying some moves back at him.

Eye contact. Eye contact is the number one most important rule for grabbing the eye of that special boy. It's enough to spark some intrigue when he catches you holding his gaze from a few seats away. It's enough to get him to lean in for the kiss when you're finally alone. Holding a few seconds of eye contact shows your interest better than anything else. Just don't let it go on for more the four or five seconds, or else he'll start to wonder if he has something in his teeth.
 
 
Love this post? You'll heart these, too!

i'm working on all of these things with my crush, even the asking him to hang out (hobbit at midnight???maybe...). we talk SO much more this year than we have ever before, and he initiates lots of conversations with me and my friends. slight/possible problem: he's very chatty in that he will talk to whomever is around. how do i know if he's into me? also, we both point out the occasional awkwardness of our conversations. he thinks that it was because i knew about his surprise party for a while, but that's not it. i'm pretty shy and really only just got enough courage to uphold my end of the conversation. he doesn't know this, but he does know that i am pretty chatty with most everyone else, just not him. how can i get that comfortable with him? just talking to him more? and what should my next move be?

Hey girl,

It's hard to tell if he likes you or not, but there's really no rush, so you could just keep talking to him and being friends to get more comfortable, like you said! There's nothing wrong with the fact that he's more extroverted than you, but as you become closer friends it will be easier to have conversations.

I like this guy, and we're friends, but I keep wondering if he likes me too. I try my best to talk to him whenever I can, but im EXTREMELY shy and I usually stay silent around him. I want to flirt with him, but subtly, because I'm afraid he'll find out i like him and wont like me back. what should i do?

 

Hey! It sounds to me like you really like this guy Smile congrats, it can be fun to have a crush. The best way to deal with this is to be his friend and see if something more happens naturally. I have seen so many girls get hurt and ruin friendships because they "had to know" if someone liked them, and they asked the guy about it and made the whole situation awkward. I even did that myself when I was younger. It's better to have a secret crush on your friend than to have a public crush on your ex-friend. good luck!

Ok here is the story,
I was at my bffs house and she txted this boy i like~he likes me too we both txted the to each other that we like each other ~ She wrote do u have something to tell me i'm single , cuz i told him i had a bf ~fake~ and he said want to go out she said idk, cuz my mom doesn't like how he looks, now wat should i do HELP! please thx Smile




Hey girlie,

First off, take the phone back from your BFF! It's great that she wants to help you, but you should really be the one in this convo with him. Talk to him more and get to know him better, so you can tell your mom about all his great qualities. Show her that he respects you, he takes school/clubs/sports seriously, he makes you laugh, he treats his mom well, etc. Maybe she could even meet him eventually if she's still unsure. But the most important thing is to be confident and talk to him yourself! Don't let your friend do all the work for you - you'll have way more control (and duh, get to talk to your crush!) if you do it yourself Smile

MOD!
I have a crush on this guy and my friend -who all of the boys like- said that he liked me back. I'm only in 5th grade and I know I'm not even CLOSE to the time when I SHOULD be dating. Anyways, we sit next to each other in school -it's a small school so we don't really switch classes- we don't even talk, only when we are kind of forced to like in Spanish. The only time we communicate is via facebook. I'm really REALLY shy so I feel more open talking to people on the internet, rather than face to face. I'm at that point where I really want a boyfriend. How would I get him to like me back, or admit he likes me?




Hey girlie,

Just because you're in the 5th grade doesn't mean you can't enjoy a crush! Smile It's all about talking more and getting to know each other. That's ok if you want to chat first on Facebook - you can break the ice, learn about his interests, and get more comfy around him. Then you can start slow in person, like giving him a friendly smile when you see him in the morning, asking to borrow a pen, asking a question about the homework, etc. Start slow and give it time - you'll grow closer and closer the more you talk to him! <3 Then once you have a stronger friendship, work some flirting into the mix and see where things go!

Ok I really need your help on this one...
I've liked my crush for 2 years. When I first met him I was pretty blunt with my feelings about him, but he didn't like me back and it was kinda awkward. Last year i only had 1 class with him and the whole time I was super shy and could barely talk to him..I think that was a turnoff, bc after awhile he just kinda stopped talking to me. Now i have NO classes with him Cry but i still feel kinda awkward..he's sorta popular and i kinda am but idk...what should i do? plus he always has friends around him so i can't just walk up and start a convo bc i would get made fun of. what should i do???? HELP! <3

Hey girl,

If he told you he wasn't into you but you think things might have changed, the best thing might be to become friends to see how he acts around you. If you can't get him away from his friends, bring a few of your girl friends and talk to them all together or hang out as a group. You have to talk to him to find out if he's into you, and it will be less awkward with your friends there!

I really like this guy and I really want to tell him, but I'm too shy and scared he'll laugh and make a joke out of it. Also, I told him I liked him before but he avoided me and ignored me. Please help!!




Hey girlie,

You gotta take the advice in this article and GO FOR IT! Nothing will ever happen if you just sit there thinking about him - so start convos, get to know him as friends, and grow closer to each other over time. Try thinking about some things he loves (the sport he plays, his favorite band, etc.). Then ask him a question about one of those! Or you could start with a question about the homework in a class you have with him. Whatever it is, it'll be the way to start things off - then keep the convo going by talking a little, asking him more questions, and staying relaxed. That way, you'll be comfy around each other before you even spill the beans about your crush on him. You can do this!

okay, so the boy I like..we were talking on chat and we really hit it off I guessd you could say lol........anyways..ummm he never goes on his facebook really anymore and he said we would talk though...but it says hes not online.....but he does go on this video game on there...so he must be able to read my messages right...? so why isn't he replying? I put hey..lol and he must be able to read them.... b/c his vid game thing is on his wall....I thought he liked me but idk.......does he? tips? how come it says he is never online but the vid game thing is on his wall...so? idk?




Hey girly! Message him something that he can respond to like, "Hey how are you" rather than just "hey." That way he will have something to say and it will start to conversation. Also, you can turn off of your chat while still being online which makes it so that no one can chat you, only inbox you.

MOD MOD- I'm 13 and I really like this boy and I have friends who have cellphones and I don't have one yet... I really want one so I can text..how can I convince them to let me get one..? tips? I feel like since I can't text the boy I like and he's like never online and he lives like 30 mins away that he'll forget about me...he's a friend...but...maybe it could..be more..maybe not...I'm worried..



Hey babe,

If you want to convince your parents to let you have a cellphone, your best bet is to sit them down and just talk to them about it.  Show them that you're responsible enough to handle it, and politely ask them to think about it.  Explain that it would help you better communicate with them in terms of safety and that it would also help you keep in touch with friends.

So i like this guy, but he likes my friend. My friend has a boyfriend and has told me that she doesn't like him. I really like him, ive had a crush for like a year, we talk during band, and he says hi to me a lot, but he really likes my friend, and she doesn't like him, plus she has a bf, WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????



Ask your friend if she'd mind letting him know how she feels, or to put it in better words, that she doesn't have any feelings for anyone but her boyfriend.  He won't believe that it's not going to happen from anyone but her.  Then you can swoop on in there and draw his attentions. Jordan S.

MOD MOD MOD, I really like this boy in my class and i think he likes me back. We both were really good friends in the beginning of the school year but all the sudden he got a little weird. For example our school makes us clean under the tables and he always chooses me to do the dirty work. Does that mean he likes me or just being snotty or he likes me? please answer back, anonymous

 

Hey kely2oo1, mhmm I don't know. He might like you but just doesn't want to do the dirty work. Try talking to him again and see if he's back to normal. Hope this helps! Xoxo

So, I'm 13 and my mom won't let me have a boyfriend. I keep up my grades and it's not like I'm a bad kid or anything like that. Somehow, she's convinced I have a "secret boyfriend" (which I don't) I don't want to go out with a guy without her approval, and she won't give me it. Every time a guy asks me out, I have to reject them because she says no. Now guys have stopped asking me out, even if they like me because they don't want to be rejected, what do I do? I want a bf, but she won't let me have one!







Hey girl,

Ugh, I know how unfair this feels! It's sooo frustrating to see crushes pass you by like this. Try reading this article for some tips to calm down, think rationally, and talk to your parents maturely about this. Remember the golden rule: NEVER whine about it. If you act maturely and prove you're responsible enough to handle dating, they'll be way more likely to see your side <3

Oh and also, how can I get over a really big crush I have? It will never work out( it's a fact). I wrote him a letter and everything so he knows I like him since the first day of school. I really want to be good friends with hima and stop making it awkward. I have his # but he never texts me. I think he is still under the impression that I'm obsessed with him as I was a few months ago..... I really want to text him this weekend and explain I don't like him any more so it will be less awkward, but idk how to say it!!!!! Please help




Hi again Smile

The question is, do you want to get over him or are you over him already? If you want to be friends because you're still secretly crushing on him, it's not a good idea! If you know 100% you're over him, then I think you should text him casually on the weekend saying that you know it's awkward between you guys now but since you're over him, you're really hoping that you could be friends! Good luck!

Hi! Well I have tried all of these things but guys just don't seem to like me. I think I am pretty but now I am finding little things about my self that are bad and only focusing on them. I am funny and kind and I flirt with guys and sometime they do back. Sometimes i do stupid random stuff because im nervous around guys like calling them "dude"I am 13 years old and, well, not very physically mature yet. I have a friend who is a year younger than me and in my class but she is physically mature (very) and one boy even made a comment about how I "have nothin" . I think a lot of boys judge girls on their bodies. I basically would love a boy friend but i just want someone to make me feel special and to have a special connection. There are many boys in my grade (over 300) and I only know half of them. How can I met new boys and flirt with them even if we r in different classes? And also what do you think boys don't like about me? Thanks and sry it soooo long




Hi Girlie,

The first thing a guy notices is confidence and if you like yourself! That's more important than anything else, anyway! You need to stop looking for those small flaws (we all have them, nobody is perfect!!!) and just accept yourself for what you are! Your body will change when the time is right and before that, just focus on all the GREAT things about you: You're pretty, funny and kind, plus you can flirt! Just keep refining these qualities and I promise boys will eventually start noticing you!

Hey, i really like this guy and i think he likes me back but the thing is, my bff totally <3's him! This happened last year and i ended up getting the guy and i felt so bad, my other friend says if i like him to go 4 it but she has been my bff 4 so long and i wouldn't want 2 do ANYTHING to hurt her. what do i do to get the guy and not lose my bff?
Thanks!!
imasmoothcriminal28



Hey girlie,

Generally, I make it my rule to never go for a guy that my bff likes too.  Especially not without going over with her what she wants you to do in this situation.  It might be that she's all for stepping back and letting you at him.  But you won't know that until you talk to her.

And keep in mind that if this has happened before like you said and it worked out in your favor that she may start to get insecure about it.  I've been there.  It's super hard to not get jealous when your bff managed to get all the guys that you like.

And jealousy isn't something you want in your friendship.

So I am wondering if this guy is flirting with me back because i know im flirting with him. okay here is what happens we both have one class together and i always take something of his and chases me around the room other times he tickels me sometimes to get his stuff back, another time I was sitting at his lunch table for two days and he jokingly said i couldnt sit there both days and then we joked around a little bit during that lunch so do you think he is flirting or is he joking around as a friend

MOD MOD MOD: Okay, so there is this guy I like in my school. We talk a lot, and always have a really fun time together (in class, though). And he sends me some signs that he likes me. But he has a girlfriend who has been known to date-and-dump a lot. Is he worth it if those are the kind of girls he dates? What should I do about liking him?




Hey girl,

You can sometimes judge a guy by the girls he dates, but just because his GF right now is a "serial dater" doesn't mean he is shallow or bad. You talk to him a lot and he obviously treats you pretty well - so you already know his relationship doesn't totally define him Smile Keep an open mind and keep talking to him! When he's single again, you can try flirting and getting even closer to him. If he starts NOT treating you well, then you know to back off - but until then, see where it goes Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!! My friend obsesses over her crush. She is really mean to him and won't stop talking to him. She always asks me for advice but when I try to give her tips she always gets mad and says I'm so selfish and rude. She is convinced that everyone knows she likes him and the reason for that is she won't stop talking to everyone about him. She is afraid of his whole grade just because she thinks it might make him think she likes someone else. She wrote him a poem and gave it to him!!! She really likes him and I understand that but I think this is a little much. Please give me advice so she won't embarrass herself or anyone else!!!

 

Hey wizpopstars99, you just need to sit her down and explain to her how obsessive she's being. Remind her of all the things she has done, and how crazy she's been. Hopefully you'll get through to her and she'll calm down. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I want to send my secret crush a Valentine's card this year. I'm going to put it in his locker. But how can I make it, and what can I write on it? I don't want it to be too 'sticky'. Should I even write one? I really don't want to be rejected. How can I, if I don't send him a card, express my feelings to him?
Thanks so much!

A card sounds like a cute idea! You don't have to be too mushy -- it can be as simple as "Happy Valentine's Day!".

i always end up stopping myself from doing anything, shutting down, turning away, ignoring him, and shutting up every time i'm even close to my crush!Frown it makes me regret myself so much and makes me feel awful about who i am whenever this happens. i lost 2 potential BFs because of this issue and those boys got other GFs now! I mean, whenever we start to connect, i completely shut down! It's a horrible habit and please give me some advice for this prob! Thanks.




Hey girl,

Baby steps! You might freak out when you start to think "big picture" about getting closer to a guy. Or you might just freak out because you don't know what to do/say from here. Whatever it is, tell yourself to CALM DOWN. Take a deep breath and take things slow. Challenge yourself to stick with it and just talk to your guy. Keep that up until you get into a routine and you start to feel comfy around him. Then, challenge yourself to ask him to hang out. Don't make your life totally about him though - keep up your activities and hang out with friends so you get a break from the intensity! But it's YOUR choice whether you walk away from your crushes or stick with it. Even if you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone, it's worth it. You know how much you regret right now - so at the very least, keep talking to him (even if it's just a text or online convo) so you can avoid that this time! <3

I like this guy and we are pretty close friends. we sit next to each other in math and we always compare answers and stuff. We liked each other in sixth grade and now we are in eighth. He recently broke up with this other girl..I really like him and walk slow in the hallways just so i can walk with him and ask him for help and stuff even when i dont need it just so i can be near him. I know he likes me as friend and stuff and every one-even people who i dont know-always tell him we should go out. He never says No, but only says psh. I dont know if thats a good thing or not...I also dont;t think he thinks of me 'that way.' I don't know how to let him know that I like him without like being weird and just outright telling him. Even if we just go to the movies or something with a group of friends would be nice. How do I ask him?

Hey girl,

I'm glad you get to spend time with your guy, but you shouldn't pretend to need help to spend time with someone. (Remember Mean Girls?) Instead, focus on showing him how awesome you are! If he's not saying "yes," he may not be interested in a relationship, at least not yet. If you're unsure, your idea of asking him out in a group setting is a good one!

I really like one of my good guy friends. He's super funny and sweet and smart and he's just pretty much great. He seems like he goes out of his way to talk to me and he always sits directly across from me at lunch, but I'm not totally sure if he likes me. He's kind of a flirty guy in general. Are there any ways to let him know I'm interested (and hopefully get a response back) without outright telling him I like him? He's a good friend and I don't want to make things awkward if he doesn't like me back. Thanks!




Hey girlie,

If he's a flirty guy and it's tough to read him, try being a flirty girl and sending him signs by switching up how you act around him. Don't become a different person though - just try complimenting him, joking around, teasing him a little, etc. Try hanging out outside of school or texting if you don't already. These things are great ways to move forward and keep hinting that you might have a crush!

There is this guy i really like and were having a V-day dance soon I really want to ask him out but i'm way to scared to ask him I really want a date this year becuse all of my friends are going to have dates i won't please help

 

Hey girl! Don't be shy! Remember that guys get nervous, too. I would talk to him after school and casually ask if he is planning on going to the V-Day dance. You could then suggest that the two of you go together--say something like, "Well, if you don't have a date yet, we could go together." I bet he will be relieved that you were brave and asked him!

So my bgf told me that his friend liked me and was going to ask me out. I was really excited because I liked him too. But I waited for almost 3 months and nothing happened. But I know he did like me because all of his friends were asking if I liked him or not, and we texted and talked a lot. I finally decided to talk to my bgf about this, and he said his friend was to shy and would probably never ask. So now, I like this other guy. He is super sweet and I catch him looking at me a lot. But I feel kinda bad about not liking the other guy. I know that I shouldn't care because the other guy makes ME happy, but idk, in super confused! Any advice? Thanks!!!




Hey girlie,

No reason to feel guilty! You shared his feelings and he didn't make his move - so you moved on. I know it sounds harsh, but it's ok if you lost those feelings you once had <3 And now that you like this new guy, you wouldn't wanna miss out on that because you're hung up on the past! Go ahead and flirt, talk to this new guy, and see where it goes. P.S. Don't forget that YOU can talk to a guy, flirt with him, and even ask him to hang out with you. You don't have to wait for him to make the first move! Sometimes it's good to make the first move yourself - because then that way, you don't spend those 3 months waiting, waiting, waiting <3

Hi!
So I really like this guy. We have art together, and during that time we always talk. He seems to be interested in me, but I'm not sure. He laughs at my joke and he always looks me straight in the eyes when I'm talking to him. But the catch is, he's one of the most popular boys in the school while I'm unpopular. He's had quite a few girlfriends (all of them were popular), and I don't know if this is just his way of interacting with girls of if he genuinely likes me. We have several other classes outside of art, but we never talk during any of those times.
I'm so confused. Do you think he likes me? Or am I just another girl he talks to sometimes? If he does like me, does unpopularity matter?
Thanks so much for your help!

 

Hey girly!

 

Guys like being friends with girls as well, so it is likely he considers you a friend. If you want to find out if he likes you enough to be your boyfriend, the only way to know is by asking him. It helps to know what you want as well, and feel ready for either way. Popularity doesn't matter, and if it matters to him and considers you "unpopular," then too bad for him that he's too shallow to see what he missed out on.

I think I have a crush on my best friend.He moved to another school,and I think of him as a brother.We were talking on Facebook today,and he sounded sooo sweet.Could he possibly be making his move?




Hey girlie,

It's possible! But he could've just been friendly since you go to different schools and don't get to talk so often. Can you talk on the phone or text more? Can you hang out in person? These things will help you get a better sense of what he's feeling...and if he's trying to switch from "sweet friend" to "flirty crush" !!

Hey babe,

You should totally be friends with him - it sounds like you like the person that he is, and that you get along really well, so why totally cut him out of your life? But it's also smart not to focus totally on him. It's good to get involved in a new activity or commit extra time to an old one, surround yourself with besties (aka besties where crushes aren't an issue), and keep your eyes peeled for OTHER potential crush options. You don't have to tell yourself, "Ok. I don't like him anymore. I swear. No more." Because we can't control our feelings sometimes! But you should branch out and search for new experiences/people - that way, your life doesn't revolve around him Smile

Hey girlie,

It totally sounds like he's doing some flirting of his own, but it's possible he just misses being single and wants some contact with another girl (that isn't his GF) for a while. That's totally innocent either way really, but remember that he isn't single right now - he's off the market and you shouldn't be flirting, even if he starts it! Just be friendly and warm, but don't cross that line til he's available again ;)

So. I like Matt. He's my friend, too. We hang out at lunch. He is reallyy nice, so it's practically impossible for me to know if he's flirting or not. Is there any other ways I know he's into me? And is there any way I can ask him to hang out with out sounding just... really awkward? I was starting to think he likes me... but I can't be sure.
Any suggestions would be amazing! Thanks(:




Hey girlie,

Try flirting with HIM. If it's impossible to tell that he's flirting with you, take matters into your own hands and give him the hint that you're crushing on him instead. You could also try asking him to hang out as friends before you worry about asking about the date thing. Do homework after school, see a movie, hang out playing video games, etc. That way, you get comfy hanging out outside school before you try asking him out.  Smile

So there's this guy that I see around occasionally. We haven't met officially, but we are Facebook friends. And a month or so ago he started talking to me on FB and got my number. He texts me at least twice a week. (: and we text back and forth for the rest of the day! I'm guessing he must be interested otherwise he wouldn't be texting me, right? But he's not that flirty and never uses smileys or anything. Which is fine, I just wonder how interested he is! I can't stop thinking about him. He works at a store and I'm wondering how I should act the next time I see him cause we haven't seen each other since we started texting. How should I act and what shall I say? lol Plus I live 30 minutes away, but I'm going to start working in that town in a few months.. until then we'll never see each other! All though I'm sure he'll keep texting me! Any other advice? (: Thanks!

 

Hey girly,

 

He definitely seems interested. When you see him in person, try to act like yourself and how you act when you text him. Just be nice and normal. Also, talk about the stuff that you normally text about.

Hey girly,

 

You just need to tell yourself that it is not going to be awkward. You need to believe that and try to act like everything is normal. Also, try not to focus on the fact that your ex is in your class. Is there a friend you can talk to or a book that you can bring to class to read.

Im a freshman at a huge Highschool. I just trasfered from another school, but I know a couple kids at my new school becAUSE I went to middle school with them. I have two things first I dont really like what all the kids I used to be friends with became. They used to be good kids but now they seem like the type that well have babies and drop out as soon as they can, I really need to know how to make new friends with better kids because I cant seem to get away from them. And second my mom knows almost everyone in our small town so earlier in the year she had me meet one of her friends sons. He is extremely attractive, my age and gose to my new school. Friday morning while sitting in the gym waiting to go to class I caught him looking at me. I have a major crush on him, and really need some advice in how to talk to him, because Im just the weird new girl and he is a bigshot lacross player. Please, Please help???? (: (<- Extremly hopeful smile)

 

You need to find ways to talk to him! find opportunities with him in the hall and just say hi and flash him your smile. The more you say hi to him or notice him he'll begin to notice you. Just try and start up convos and get to know him. As for making friends, try to join groups with the kinds of people you want to be friends with. If you put yourself in situations with the people you wnt ot befriend you will get closer to them. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Hey girlie,

If you want to go, and you want to go with a date...you gotta snag yourself a date, girl! Try asking your friends (girls and guys) if any of their friends need a date. Can you bring someone from a different school? See if one of your besties has a cousin or fam friend that goes to a school nearby. You could also be totally bold and ask someone who is cute but you've never really spoken to before - just go straight up and ask! You still have options - and it's not HORRIBLE to go alone, if these don't work out. Hang in there though and don't give up! <3

Okay, so there's this guy that I'm starting to like. It was the last day before winter break, and we had to be hosts of an assembly, so we got to talking a lot. It felt like something clicked between us. But in grade 7 (I'm in grade 9 now) we didnt like each other. And a couple of days before the assembly he told he used to hate me! I was like wow thanks for that man. But then he said "But i like you now", so i was like oh i like you too. The thing is i used to really like his bestfriend in grade 7 and 8. Soo over him! But I'm worried that could get in the way!
So bottom line, do you think thats okay that I used to like his friend? And how should I talk to him without getting all stammer-y? Sorry its long, I just started typing and... yeah! So please help me with my dilemma.




Hey babe,

You used to like his friend - you don't anymore! You've moved on and grown since then, so I think liking him is fair game. And I also think that all that "I used to hate you stuff" can be a cute backstory - it won't get in the way now since, again, you've both grown up a little since then Smile As for keeping your cool while talking to him, read this article for some great tips to keep in mind.

So im kind of like the boy my dad never had. i grew up playing video games, being rough and playing/watching sports-even playing football and other stuff with the fam. But i love fashion too and boys are definitely always a fun topic with my friends(haha) but whenever i talk to a guy about sports/video games or stuff like that, and they get impressed, i feel like im being fake with them bcuz other girls i know arent as sports or video game oriented as me. Ive always liked that im different that way but recently...idk i have mixed feelings now. like i dont know who i am or something. im 16 and want to be a model, actress, or social worker if that helps. i guess theres not really a question here except what are your thoughts on why im feelings so weird?




Hey babe,

I think you're feeling weird because you think you're being pulled in two different directions - "the girly girl" and "the guy's girl." But the truth is, you don't HAVE to choose one! These are both sides of your personality and make you who you are. (And you're amazing!) There's nothing wrong with dressing in pink, loving makeup and talking about boys...while also being able to kick ANYONE's butt at Halo or taking breaks from homework to update your fantasy football team. It's natural to feel unsure as you grow up, especially during your teen years, because you don't know where life will take you or what you want out of life. The most important thing is not to pressure yourself to decide all that right now. Trust yourself and let yourself enjoy whatever it is you do - whether it's boys, sports, jewelry, modeling, getting dirty, social work, etc. Be honest with yourself and don't let any other influences change your mind. We all go through this - and you'll come out happy if you stay true to yourself <33

I know i need to wait to until they break up to tell him how i feel, but the problem is my best guy friend just told me that he likes me. Should i go out with my guy friend even tho i don't like like him or should i wait until the guy i do like is single??? Please help!




Hey babe,

Never go out with someone if you don't have feelings for them! It's only leading him on and wasting his time. It's better to be single - that's right, single! - than pretend you like-like/love someone when you only really like him as a friend. So, to the friend that asked you out, be honest: "That is so sweet and you are such a great guy, but I don't think so...I think we're much better as friends" is a good response to him asking you out. As for the guy you like, DON'T wait around for him to become single either. You don't have to stop liking him, but don't sit around waiting for him. You'll miss opportunities to meet new guys (and potential crushes) by doing that! I know you don't feel like liking anyone else, but it's not fair to yourself to wait while life passes you by! So get out there with your besties, get involved in a new activity, and talk to guys! Plus...talking to new guys might make your crush take even more notice of you ;)

Hey girl,

It's weird that he compliments other girls, then looks at you to see your reaction...THAT definitely sounds like he's trying to make you jealous. But it's hard to tell exactly what his feelings are, since he isn't being clear about them. Challenge yourself to get to know him better on your own! Chat with him online, ask him a question about homework, and get him used to talking to you without your friends around Smile That's the first step!

ive liked this guy since school started. and i thought he liked me for a couple of months. then he got a girlfreind. then he broke up with her. then i thought i had a chance. then he got another girl friend. now he is still with her. and i hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel like he'll never brek up with her. he also seems to go out with girls that have facebooks. and if corse i dont have one. i think he might still like me. ut he seems to avidme sometimes. is that normal should i just forget about him? how? should i just wait for him please help me. i need advice.




Hey girlie,

You definitely shouldn't "wait" for him - don't let opportunities pass you by while you're waiting for him to get single again. It's ok to still crush on him - and it's ok to challenge yourself to get to know him better once he does become single again. But in the meantime, try to find happiness on your own. Be with friends, get involved in something new, and keep your eyes peeled for new potential crushes. When he's single, if you feel the same you can try to talk to him more, flirt, tease, etc. But who knows - you could meet someone else and be even more interested in that guy! Smile

Okk so i really liked my bf when we first started dating but idk why but i dont like him as much now and its only been a month and a half! Its like we've grown apart. He used to always hug me and talk to me a lot and walk me to class and hold my hand and kiss me and put his arm around me but now he hardly ever does any of that stuff but idk why!! I've tried to talk to him but he always just says hes fine and changes the subject :/ im not sure if i want to break up with him yet cuz i want to give him another chance type thingany ideas on what to do??
Thanks in advance xoxo

 

Hey girly,

 

I would start by just trying to hang out just the two of you and rekindle things a little bit. You can tell him how you feel and try to see if he will tell you what's going on. Give him a little time girly. He might just be going through something that doesn't have anything to do with you and your relationship.

Hey earthyartist, I defintely know how hard it is talking to a guy you like. I'm in college and I still get a little nervous. What works for me is remembering that my crush is just another person, like me and you, so what's there to be afraid of? Pretend that he's another one of your guy friends you're talking to. Whenever you feel yourself getting tongue tied force yourself to continue the conversation. Bring up anything to get him talking. Sports, his interests, tv, movies anything you can think of. As for your friend, just remind her that her dad is in a better place and he's always looking down watching out for her. Hope this helps!! Xoxo

I have 2 questions.I really like this guy but I have trouble talking to him. He is a year older than me but we have a lot of mutual friends. One of our friends has been trying to set us up but I'm never able to talk to him. i'm usually able to talk to my guy friends without any problem but whenever I see him I'm afraid I'm going to say something stupid. I've been trying to get better at talking to him but we end up having these one word conversations. How can I get better at talking to him?
My second question has to do with one of my friends. She is pretty secretive but she recently told me that she trusts me. I'm happy that she trusts me but I don't know how to react to what she's told me. She confessed to me that her father passed away a few years ago. I don't know what to say. How do I comfort her?
Thanks a bunch Lynae P.

I doing drivining with an instructor to get my license and the guy im doing it with is really cute. I've talked to him a couple times. How do I talk to him during like the five or ten minutes we're waiting for the instructor? What should I say? How should I act? Should I be flirty or will that scare him off?

Just ask him questions. Get to know him and make some small talk. Joke around about driving. That will help develop a friendship between you two. Good luck! xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD Ive done all of these things and i still cant get a bf! This guy told me he liked me and i told him i liked him but then he asked another girl out! Guys like me and tell me im pretty but why wont they ask me out? I thought it was because im kinda one of the guys but now im not sure... why cant i get a guy to actually ask me out????

 

Hey girl,

Sorry your guy did that -- totally not cool! Don't be discouraged, though -- sometimes guys ask out the girls that are less likely to reject them instead of going for the really amazing ones, so don't worry and stay positive! If you're nice to guys, one will ask you out when the time is right.

So it is a New Year, and I've been with my boyfriend for about 7 months now, and I hate to say it, but I'm not feeling it anymore... Should I keep in it and see if it comes back, or let him go?

 

Hey girl,

Ouch, that's a tricky situation! If you're not feeling your relationship, though, there's no reason to stay in it. And if you're meant to be together, you can always be with him again later!

Please help me! I've been best friends with the "queen bee" since 5th grade. Now were in 8th grade and shes still the "queen bee". Not in a like bad, controlling way, shes just a natural leader and people look up to her. She gets all the guys, have the coolest clothes and biggest house and is one of the funniest people I've met. But I'm tired of being a "worker bee". How can I become more of and indivual and not just "her best friend." I have other friends too. How do I become more of a leader? I'm shy.




Look to her for an example. What does she do that makes her a leader? Is she outgoing? If you try and use some of her actions to help yourself be more outgoing you could become less shy. Good luck! xoxo kerra

so not really any guys are in to me. i havnt had a bf. i know some guys think im "cute" but nothing more. guys my age only care if your hot, big boobs, and butts. Trust me its true. They call girls without boobs and stuff "pancakes" and yes, i fall under the pancake category. Im flat chested and im tall but really skinny. I have trouble gaining weight. Im cute but not hot. what do i do? i just want a bf who likes me for me. also, how do i gain wight?? im 85 pounds. i eat alot and nothing happens.




Well first of all youre developing so your body is going to change a lot in the next few years. Just let nature go its normal course and let things happen as they will. As for boys they are young and immature at your age. So in time they will get better and actually start caring about more than just the physical. So give it time and youll find a guy worth your time Smile xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD. So i have liked this guy for almost a year. we talk a lot and he's coming to my party in 3 days and i want to make a move to let him know i'm super into him. any ideas? Thanks!
Oh and another thing; i was wondering how to make your thighs skinnier because when i sit down they get bigger and i don;'t like the way it looks. and i've been cutting back on salt so any workout tips of thighs? Thanks so much! <3




Hey girlie,

Absolutely! Remember our best flirting tips, be confident, and most importantly be yourself!! Good luck!




And with your thighs, that's totally normal - everyone's thighs look bigger when they're sitting down! Everyone has a little fat on their legs and it shifts when you sit. Nothing to be embarrassed about. But to score toned legs (and to feel healthier/more in shape), try these workouts! Don't forget to pair cardio (like jogging, biking, kickboxing or swimming) with them for amazing results.

I've had a cold for 2 weeks! Chapped lips, can barely talk, stuffed nose, coughing like crazy!!! How do I get rid of this cold? I've been eating cough drops and drinking water!
Thanks!
~Ava~ 




Hey Ava,

Try taking a decongestant medicine, like Mucinex, Sudafed, or another medicine that suits your symptoms. Head to the drugstore and read the boxes to get the one that is perfect for you. It'll really help clear up the stuffed nose/crazy cough! If the cold persists much longer though, definitely call your doctor to schedule an appointment - you want to make sure it isn't anything more serious that would need an antibiotic!

I think my crush my think I'm scared of him because well...I am, classic nerves. But I don't know what to do. Should this year since it is a fresh start after break. I just start trying to break my shell and talk to him? Or should I just move on? My best friend who is in every class with both me and him said that I act scared of him. I'm just curious if I should try to talk to him and show him I'm not scared and that at that I want to be friends or if I should just drop it and keep acting like I feel - nervous?
Thanks for the help Smile Xoxox




Hey girlie,

Of COURSE you should try to break free of this fear and talk to him! Why would you want to go through life feeling nervous and scared of guys? Instead, tackle this fear early so you can overcome it - and not lose your chance to get to know a lot of amazing guys! <3 These articles have some great tips to help you talk to guys without freezing up. Give them a try and remember: the more you challenge yourself and go out of your comfort zone (aka the more you talk to him, even while feeling terrified), it will get easier!

So I'm not exactly an expert on guys' body language (: and my crush is one of my really good friends & we have 2 classes together. In Yearbook we always sit by each other and we talk a lot. Almost whenever we do, he turns to face me and touches our legs together... and in Algebra he always asks to work with me and he does the same thing. Is that a good sign? Thank you so much!




Hey girlie,

Usually it's hard to tell whether a guy is just being friendly or if he's trying to flirt (it's a fine line between the two, for sure!)... but physical contact like rubbing his leg on you? Turning in to face you during your convos? Always sitting next to each other? These three make up a combo that totally sounds like a crush to me!!
