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.

MOD!!!
Ok so this is kinda complicated and a long story so sorry. My BGF and i used to sorta date over the summer, but than we broke up to spare our mutual friend's feelings. Since than we've been talking lots and flirting to. I dropped hints awhile back that i still liked him, but he told me he only liked me as a friend. Then just recently he's been wanting to hang out more and uping the flirting level. We were texting a couple of nights ago and i said "lol true ur like the nicest guy i know ;) but were just friends uve made that clear multiple times" He replyed saying "ya idk if there's any girl that i would want to date it would be you.. But i dont want a gf.. Idk u could change my mind ;D" What does he mean by that??? Does he want to go out with me or is he confused?? What do i do from here?? Should i hang out with him to see what happens???? Help!!

Hey girl,

It sounds like he likes you but isn't sure if he wants a relationship. There's no harm in hanging out with him -- if he says you could change his mind, maybe you will!

When I talk to a guy, what's the line between just being really friendly (and I don't like him), and flirting with him. Because I see this guy as a friend, but apparently, to other people, I act as if I like him, which I DONT. I don't even know what Im doing to make it look this way. I'm just acting normal.

Hey girl,

It doesn't matter what other people think, as long as you're not leading him on, so if he knows you're only friends and you're not being flirty, there's no reason you and him can't be pals!
