I really like this guy. I don’t know him well because I’m too scared to talk to him. We’ve caught each other’s glances, and his friends talk to me about him a lot. Just when I was sure he’d ask me out, he asked one of my best friends! I’ve never seen him look at her like he looks at me.
 
Dave: Regardless of signals you picked up from him or his buds, you two clearly weren’t connecting in conversation so it’s understandable he went another route. Unless you can score some chat time, looks like he’ll be talking up your pal.
 
Bill: Don’t you hate it when you think someone’s waving at you, but he’s really waving at the person behind you? Kind of embarrassing when you wave back. Any chance that’s what was going on? If not, maybe he took your shyness as rejection. Try to get to know him better and see what happens.

I talked to my sister about liking the guy she dated and she said it was totally cool with it. I don't know what to say to my crush when I talk to him about me liking him, what should I do?? HELP.
- Scarlett Witch

 

Hey chica!

After you tell him how you feel and talking about how he feels, you could mention that your sister is cool with it if you guys date. For pointers on what to say when you express your feelings, you could ask if he likes you a lot and would like to date, etc. Smile

Mod, Mod, Mod. Okay, so my crush is my friend and I hang out with him all the time. He knows I like him and all, but the thing is he dated my sister; they were never bf/gf so it shouldn't be awkward. He kinda acts like he like me. What should I do? I want to talk to him about it, what should I say?

Hey babe,

You should def talk to your sister about it before you make any decisions.  See if she's okay with it and then have a talk with him.

okay sooo my bgf use to like my best friend and another girl. Then he stopped liking my friend and he still liked the other girl. A little while ago he i told him who i liked and then he told me that he liked this other girl still and he kinda likes me! scence he told me this things have been kind of awkward and i dont know if i should belive him or not. oh and the worst part is i think he is kinda cute and he is really nice but he thinks that i like this other guy! any advice ????

Hey girl,

Does your friend like him too? If she doesn't, there's no reason not to go for it if you like each other! If he's your friend, you should believe him!

So about a month ago I started liking my best guy friend and then I found out he liked my best friend and she liked him back. She wouldn't give him an answer when he asked her out at first. But then I was about to tell her that I liked him and she told him yes. I still like him and I want to tell her but i'm afraid that she will think that i'm a bad friend, but I hate keeping secrets from her. I'm so confused. What should I do?

Hey girl,

Are they dating, or is it over? If they're still together, you should probably keep your feelings to yourself to maintain your friendship, but if they're over, there's no harm in asking her if she'd be okay with you liking him!

So, this happened like, a couple of weeks ago. My crush's friend, GF1, asked me if I wanted to see a movie with my crush and my crush turned red and laughed kinda weird. But when I said yeah, he turned even redder.
Then, last week, I asked GF1 who my crush liked, and GF1 said it was me. GF1 asked me if I liked my crush, and I said yeah.
The next day, GF1 told my crush and another guy friend, GF2.
GF2 told me GF1 had no idea who my crush liked and my crush didn't like anyone. But GF1 told me he was sure my crush liked me.
I'm so confused! What do I do?

Hey girl,

Instead of listening to your friends' opinions, why not ask your crush yourself? If they've already talked to him about it, it shouldn't be too awkward, and then at least you'll know what he really thinks!

So 2 years ago me and my crush started dating. We dated until the end of the year and then dumped me for my friend, and they've been dating 2 years now. And all 3 of us were talking, and my friend asked what would be a good song about he and I, and she expected some heartbreak song, but then he said a love song. Dos that mean he secretly likes me still? She would DIE if they ever broke up, so is that the only reason they're still dating? I'm confused! Help!

 

Hey! by itself the song might not mean anything. but if he does still like you he should stop leading your friend on, no matter how much he thinks it would hurt her to break up

Hey girl,

He might just be shy -- it stinks that the other guy is giving you a hard time! If you think you and A have something going on, don't let the other guy get to you and just have fun and see what happens!

Hey girl,

If you think he likes you and you like him too, it sounds like you have nothing to lose if you go for it! Keep talking to him more and see what happens, and tell him you like him if you're feeling brave! Good luck!

I had the exact same ting happen. I've liked this guy for3 years, and he turns sround and now he's dating on e of my best friends, why suddenly just turned against us. How do I cope?

Hey girl,

It can be super hard to deal when a boy doesn't feel the same way about you as you do about him, but the good news is that you're young and still have plenty more guys to meet down the road! For now, focus on positive things, like clubs and spending time with your pals. You can also try scoping out some new cuties at school or in your neighborhood. If you distract yourself by having fun without him, you'll forget about why you even liked him in the first place.

im in seventh grade and my crush is in eighth. I have known him for 9 years. He is really nice and talks to me a lot. He isnt afraid to come up to me like some guys are, we have always been friends but im starting to like him more than a friend. Some of classes where its seventh and eighth we have together i catch him looking at me. When he sees me he calls me babe and says good bye to me if i run into him when leaving. Is he just be friendly and nice to me or does he like me?
Thanks

 

Hey! the only way to know for sure is to talk to him, but in my opinion it does sound like he likes you Smile

My friend moved to Alaska a few months ago. Her and her boyfriend at the time had a mutual break up. She still occasionally comes to visit. A month ago, I started going out with her ex, and even though she doesn't have feelings for him, I'm scared that in her next visit, he'll take one look at her BEAUTIFUL face and realize what he's missing. What do I do? D:




Hey girlie,

It's really hard to date someone new while you know ALL about their past relationships. It's tempting to ask yourself, "Do I match up?", compare yourself to their ex GFs, and psych yourself out. But you can't let yourself do that! You gotta trust him and enjoy the relationship you've got. If he leaves you because he's tempted by her, he is NOT the good guy you thought he was! But chances are, he's loyal and totally into you. He made the choice to date you - so feel confident with yourself, happy in your relationship, and don't let those doubts get the best of you <3

PLEASE HELP MEEEE!!!!!!Cry




Hey girlie!

While feeling like there's no competition when it comes to crushes is what everyone likes, sometimes your crushes crush on someone else. And the best thing to do is move on and crush on someone that likes you back. Also keep in mind that what some may consider being friendly, others may see it as flirting, so your BFF and your crush may be just being friendly with one another and him with you. If you want to find out if he likes you, try either asking him out or dropping hints that you'd like to go out with him. If he responds then you'll know he likes you. <3

Is it right to be upset at my mom for putting me down at the mercy of her friends, and even random strangers? Because we were at starbucks yesterday, and my mom made the mistake of picking someone else's cup, and she blamed it on me and my BFF being "clueless teenagers", but we're not clueless. We're straight A students. And just tonight, after my volleyball game, my mom was talking with my Bff's mom, and said "Of course I have a headache, and who knows what the girls will do to make it worse." She said it right in front of me, and she says it both times in a joking way, but it's not funny. I pointed it out to my mom a few minutes ago, and now she's on a rampage around the house, screaming at everybody. She can't take critisism, but then she gets mad at me for not telling her why I'm mad, but then she gets mad when she finds out why. What should I do?



Uh-oh bad, problems with the fam are never fun.  It sounds to me like it's just a mood and that something else may be plaguing her mind.  Just, for now, put it aside and know that she doesn't really think that.  Sometimes, they just get wound up and say things they don't really mean. Jordan S.

ok, so my boyfriend of one month is a first time dater, meaning im his first gf ever. And hes really nice and everything, but ever since he asked me to kiss him (which i was SO not ready for, and ultimately stammered out an "im not ready for that yet" response) ive been questioning how much i actually like him. I dont even think that i really want to kiss him or anything. Its fun hanging out with him, but he always wants to hold my hand and have his arm around me and stuff (because hes awkward like that) and its setting me off a ittle. I dont think i have the heart to break up with him, but what should i do?
(PS, this might also be caused by the fact that im pretty sure i love my best guy friend)
Help me.



Oh, this is a tricky one.  You must never lead a guy on though, babe.  If you're not feeling it anymore, then tell him you're not.  Maybe add in that school and your family life has been a bit much for you and you need some time to yourself.  Let him down easily, but know that you have to let him down.  It's worse to let a guy think all is well than to make him deal with a bit of emotional pain.

Please help!! Okay so every year my school does a musical with 7th and 8th grade, and this year we did Peter Pan, and my best friend and I both really wanted it, but I got it. I'm really happy but now she won't talk to me! She doesn't return my texts, and I tried saying hi to her at school but she just ignored me. I'm really upset and I don't know what to do! She didn't even congratulate me! What should I do??



She's definitely got a case of jealousy here.  Give it some time for the upset to die down a bit, and in about a week and a half, try to talk it out with her. Jordan S.

Sometimes guys can break up friendships. My advice? Tell your friend how you feel, and don't spout your jealousy. A guy that a last a month or two, is nothing compared to a friend that will last a lifetime.
