Tease, tease, tease: Turn your nervousness into flirtatiousness



Check these out, too...

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
  • Smooching secrets from real guys
  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
I really like this guy, but I always start conversations with things like, "you are an idiot," or "wow, you are strange." I don't know why I keep doing it, but I really want to stop so that he will start to like me!

Sounds like you just get a bit nervous, chica. It’s entirely normal to be on top of your game and then accidentally blurt something out that you wish you hadn’t. This guy gets to you, so generally you can lock up for a second and lose your normal attitude toward him. Instead of being a cute, playful flirt, you’ve taken up the mantle of a different flirt style. Lucky for you, what you have going on here can be turned into nothing more than a little teasing now and then.

Remember way back in say, Elementary School, when the boys would show that they like you by kicking some dirt after you, splashing you in the pool, or calling you some silly name? A lot like your situation, dontcha think?

 

That’s right, babe, he used to flirt in the exact same way. Wanna know why that’s actually an advantage for you? He gets that. Because he used to react to girls he likes in the same way, he’ll have a little radar for when you’re flirting the same way. You just have to hone your skills a bit and then give it a little nudge.

It’s all about the tone of your voice when you say things like that. If you’re leaning more toward sounding sarcastic and you say it with a little giggle or a smile, then you easily become a Grade A flirt. Stray away from any seriousness when you toss out those comments, and don’t forget to throw in some cutesy signs of affection like hugs or eye contact and things of the sort.

MOD MOD MOD MOD! (Lauren C.) There's this guy, let's call him Jake, and I have a big crush on him. We used to tell jokes and laugh at smile at each other nonstop. Now since he's dating my friend, he's been kind of a jerk. All of his jokes are offensive, and I can't make him smile or laugh anymore. We get mad at each other too easy. He's changed, and I miss my best friend. What should I do about "Jake"'s behavior & do you have any idea why "Jake" has been acting this way?




Hey girlie,

This could be for tons of reasons - the girl he's dating has a different sense of humor so it slowly changed his, he's dealing with something bad at home so he's taking out his frustrations on his friends, his relationship isn't what he expected so he's not as happy as he was, or maybe he has just naturally grown up a little and changed on his own. Whatever it is, try catching Jake one-on-one and asking him if he's ok. He'll probably say, "Yeah why?" Then you can tell him calmly that you've noticed a major change in his personality lately and you're kinda bummed because you miss the old Jake. You can't force him to be like he was but, if you tell him quietly that you've noticed the shift, you might make him realize that more has changed than he thinks <3

MOD! MOD! MOD! My older brother plays baseball with my crushes older brother and we are going to Florida for a tournament over Spring Break. The problem is: Everyone (including him and his parents) know that I like him, even my brother knows! I don't know how to talk to him! Because he avoids me at school 'cause he's always in the hallway with his friends. How can I make this "relationship" less awkward & more "romantic"?




Hey chica,

A boy once told me something that made sooo much sense - a situation is only awkward if YOU decide to let it be awkward! So, ok, everyone knows you like him. Instead of letting that make you feel nervous and avoiding him all the time, be confident and walk through school like you own the place. (Check out this article for some quick confidence tips.) Figure out a way to start a convo by asking him a question about something he loves - the sport he plays after school, his favorite band, where he works for his part-time job, etc. Asking him something about an interest is a GREAT way to get him talking! It'll show you're interested in him, have the guts to start a convo, and have something in common! Be relaxed during the conversation, smile, and treat him as if he was just one of your friends. And don't push it - having an AWESOME one minute convo is way better than having a boring 15 minute convo, you know? So keep things short and build up your "relationship" over time by smiling at him in the hallways, chatting more often, talking online, hanging out in a group... you get the idea! Smile

MOD MOD OH DEAR DEAR FRIENDLY MOD, I have a crush. i want to tell him i like him but i have a major prob... my mom says i cant date til i'm sixteen but my dad says i can date in 6 months when i turn 13. i would gladly agree with my dad but i live with my mom. What do i do?




Hey girlie,

Since your parents don't live together, it's understandable that they might disagree when it comes to stuff like this. But the truth is, you should really respect your mom's decision here. You live under her roof, so she's the one who has the final say... because she's also the one that can punish you if you go against her rules. Makes sense, right? Try talking to her about this again - and DON'T bring up the fact that your dad says you should be allowed to date. Instead, be mature and explain that you've met someone really awesome who is respectful, funny, makes you happy, works hard at school, has good friends, etc. Basically, tell her you're thinking about dating more and more, so you really wanted to ask her if she might reconsider the rule. (And don't forget to tell her that you feel responsible enough to take things slow, never let a guy pressure you into doing something you don't want to do, and treat a guy with respect too.) She might not say, "Yes ok, you can date immediately," but if you approach her maturely and calmly, you could prove that you are mature and responsible... and that age limit might be lowered Smile
