With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, the rush to find the perfect date is on. Although you don’t want to get your hopes up and plan too far ahead, there is nothing wrong with strategizing a game plan. Check out our gotta-know helpful hints for your special night.


Dress practical. Not sure where you're going for your date? Of course you wanna dress to impress, but you can never go wrong with jeans, a super cute top and a comfy pair of flats. Hiking in heels or bowling in a poofy dress hardly sounds like fun.


Dig a little. There' nothing wrong with doing some Facebook stalking – just don't admit you memorized his interests and posts. Awk. Be natural and subtle. Easy example: If he's a Hungers Game fan, ask him if he's excited to see any new movies.


No conversation hogging. Nothing is worse than listening to someone drone on about themselves for hours. Yawn. Make sure that you ask about him and what he likes to do. After all, if you're into the guy, you should be stoked to hear his stories, right?


Speed dial your BFF. Before you head out the door, a quick pep talk from your BFF can help calm some of your nerves. No one knows how to make you relax better than your partner in crime. That in mind, do not call or text her during your date. You don't wanna send the wrong image to your guy.


Be yourself! The most important “do” of all: BE YOURSELF. A boy will never like you for who you are unless you let him see who that is.

i really like this guy, his name is Joey.
He just got out of a relationship, and we've been getting closer recently(before they broke up, but not flirting) Like he pokes me in science and takes my jewlery to wear for a few hours, etc. I like him alot, and his friend, my kinda guy friend, keeps asking if i like him.
I want to tell him i like him, is that okay? they broke up 5 days ago, but shes already trying to ask another guy out and according to Joey's friend Joey doesnt miss his ex or anything.
Is it okay to tell him i like him? and i'm afraid to go out with him, i'm always so worried a guy will hurt me.

Hey girl,

There's no set amount of time to wait between relationships, so if he asks you out, go for it! You may get hurt, but you'll have to decide whether that chance is worth not entering what could be an awesome relationship. It may end badly, but it also might be amazing, so it's worth a try!

Okay, there's this boy, we both like watching adventure time, we LOVE SCIENCE, he's in almost all of my classes, and I kind of like him. He's two days older than me but he's shorter. Everyone thinks would be a good couple, but he doesn't want to go out. What should I do? He's always flirting and I flirt back. The signals are getting confusing, I really need advice for this. I think he likes me.
<3 Thanks a bunches!

Hey girl,

If you like this guy, don't let height be a factor -- he can't help how tall he is, and it won't affect a relationship! If you think he likes you but you're not sure if he's ready for a relationship, just keep hanging out with him and see what happens!

So I have a career project coming up, and we have to do a speech, and Im doing author. We have to have a quote to begin our speech; to be our attention getter. Do you think that this is an OK quote, or does it sound too tacky? Im onyl in 8th grade, so at of ppl are immature.
It’s a job. It’s not a hobby. You don’t write the way you build a model airplane. You have to sit down and work,
to schedule your time and stick to it. Even if it’s just for an hour or so each day, you have to get a moderater
and make the time. If you’re going to make writing succeed you have to approach it as a job."

Hey girl,

I think this is a great quote, it's not tacky at all. Good luck on your project!

I have a boyfriend and the dance was just last night. Of course I met up with him there and we danced together and had a really good time. Valentines day is coming up and I wanted to get him something really nice. He's so special to me and I feel like I need to show him how much he means to me. Any ideas on what i should get him? Also, how do I convince my parents to let us go out on a date even if it was with a group of people?

Hey girl,

Check out our February / March issue for tons of great Valentine's Day gift ideas. Here are two posts with super-cute gift ideas for your crush on Valentine's Day, too! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/10/Cheap-V-Day-prezzies-for-the-dude-of-your-dreams.aspx  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/09/V-Day-gifts-for-your-guy.aspx. As for your mom, try to win her trust by giving her specific places you'll be, who you'll be with and when you'll be home, and tell her you'll have your phone on at all times.

How can I be nice to this guy that I want as a friend, without flirting with him?

Hey girl,

Treat him like you would treat any other friend, and if it seems like he likes you after you start hanging out, make sure he knows you only want to be friends.
