Check these out, too...

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 SuperrGirliie, when they tease you about liking him act like it doesn't bother you. They probably only make fun of you for liking him because they know it embarrasses you, so the more you act like you don't care they'll stop. Hope this helps! Xoxo

i used to like this guy a lot but because me and my friends and his friends always hung out and so one of my friends started liking him. and once she likes someone, they start liking her back and they end up dating. but he is still my best guy friend that i just like as a friend and i hang out with him and his friends sometimes at festivals when my friends run off somewhere. we used to text a lot until something happened so here goes...
i oh like this guy as a good friend because we are truly very close almost like me and my friends. but since i text him "that much" they say that they don't believe me saying that i don't like him. they say my name in class and say "DON'T DENY IT, YOU DO!", they tell me at lunch and recess, and just all the time. i feel like i can't trust them that much anymore because of this too. them saying all this stuff is also the reason why i stopped texting him. what can i do so they believe me that i truly don't like him? thanks (: Lynae P.

Hey jennntheswimmer, bringing up the fact that you have a boyfriend will let him know. Whatever you guys are talking about you can say "yeah my boyfriend really likes that too" that way he'll know you guys are just friends. Hope this helps! Xoxo

My boyfriend goes to a different school than me, so a lot of people at my school that i dont know super well dont know im dating someone. Sometimes random guys flirt with me but i just ignore it, and they usually get the clue that im not interested.
Anyways, me and the guy i sit next to in biology started talking, since we have to work together on projects and stuff. Its always been obvious that he likes me, but now that we are becoming friends i think he is getting the wrong idea and thinks that im interested.
How can i gently let him know that i just want to be friends and that i have a boyfriend without embarrassing him or making him think that i led him on?
Thanks!! Lynae P.

Hey LizZy11, you just have to force yourself to stop crushing on him. He's defintely off limits since he's your friends bf. Once you stop focusing on him so much, you might find a guy for yourself. Hope this helps! Xoxo

My crush is really cute but he also happens to be one of my best friends boyfriend. I've liked him for a really long time and have tried to get over him, but I can't. What do I do? Lynae P.

Hey baileybluu, of course a gf can get her bf something for valentines day. Think about what he would like. Is he a chocolate type of person? Does he like stuffed animals? Make a list of things he'd like, and once you've narrowed it down select what you think he'll like best. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Hey caseysister2001, since he just broke up with his girlfriend I would give him some time to get over her. Once it seems like hes ready to move on, then ask him. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I just moved halfway across the country. I got an email from my BGF and crush (same person) that his GF just broke up with him. His old GF used to be one of my BFFs. I've been dreaming since 1st grade about him. Should I ask him out via email or just let him go? As I said, I've wanted to be his GF since 1st grade. Thanks. :S Lynae P.
