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.

Hey Lindsey Frinzy, since your friend won't talk to you confront the boy who who told her you called her names. Get him to tell her the truth, and hopefully she'll talk to you again. If not girl, it may be time to get your mom involved and to make some new friends. Hope this helps! Xoxo

So I'm in 7th grade and recently my beastie from last year has not been herself. everyone sees her as the queen bee, and she's been acting like one too. She searches for attention and pushes people down to get what she wants. This has made me really sad, and I told her she wasn't the same and I ask her if everything was going ok. She told me no because I wasn't the same either. She told me she didn't like the names I called her. Then I said I didn't call her any names, I would never do that. Turns out a boy that really likes her said that to her. So now she told everyone I needed space. Aka, ignore her. So the whole school is ignoring me, giving me the silent treatment. I come home crying everyday, and sick to my stomach everyday, sometimes I have to throwup. My momwants to get the printable involved because its bullying. But I don't cause she'll mention the names I never called her then who's in trouble. What should I do? Lynae P.

Hey smart paws, have you ever considered taking medicine for your ADHD? It would probably help you become less insecure and nervous. It would help in giving you the confidence to talk to people. Hope this helps! Xoxo

MOD!
Well I don't think THIS would help me cause i probably will NEVER go on a date. |Frown Why? I have ADHD and very insecure. I don't like making eye contact with a person I don't know too well or even be able to walk up to a guy and chat even. Talking constantly is part of ADHD too which tourments me as well. What's odd is is that I can stand in front of my class mates in theater and perform a monolog but can't talk to people. I also get nervous when people look at me. DX Wha! Please help. Lynae P.
