Hook a hottie: How to play it cool

Summer’s the season for scorching temps and equally hot guys, natch. But how do you chat it up with that cutie and not come off like a nail-biting, nervous wreck? Don’t sweat it! We’ve got the easy-breezy tips to approach that eye-candy while still looking totally cool.

 

Game on

If you see a cutie on the sand playing beach volleyball, ask if you can join him and his friends. Don’t forget to bring your spiking and flirting A-game.

 

Grill-friend

Nothing grabs a guy’s attention like mouth-watering summer foods. Invite him to a BBQ or weekend bash with your crew.

 

Splish splash

Ask your crush to come with you to a pool party. This is the literal definition of fun in the sun, and the group setting relieves the stress of an individual date. Whew!

 

Dog days of summer

Walk your pooches together. You and your doggie need exercise, so why not multitask and flirt at the same time? And, seriously, what guy doesn’t love dogs?

 

Get stuck in his head

Have him spill about his newly discovered band-of-the-moment and suggest trading playlists. Be sure to add a catchy tune that can’t stop replaying in his mind.

 

The go-to place

The mall is hands-down the best spot to run into the guy who's running through your mind. If you catch your crush in one of your fave stores, compliment his outfit and slick summer style.

 

How sweet it is

See if your cutie wants to walk or bike with you to the local ice cream shop to get a cool treat. Sprinkle on the sweetness and offer a bite of your scoop.

Id really like a guy friend to hang out with and talk to who doesn't have to be a bf to me. I like hanging out with at least some guys better than all girls because they don't judge you like girls do and you can have an actual conversation with them not about make-up, fashion, or guys better than most girls. However, I don't know where I could get guy friends because it's the summer, I don't live near the beach where I could meet new people, and my parents dont let me hang out with guys alone (which I understand cuz I'm only 15). Do u have any ideas of places where I could meet new guys that would be with a bunch if other people and parent approved? I'm really social able an like to try new things and new places but I'm out of ideas. Thanks!!

 

Hey! it sounds strange but i actually made some of my best guy friends at church. i wasn't even that into church I just really loved all the friends I made there. So if you and your parents attend any kind of religious congregation, I suggest going there more and participating in youth group and stuff. You're parents can't object to that Smile

I am moving school, and my crush is too, but not to my school! Frown and I still want to KIT with him, but how, and what if someone else makes a move on him before I have a chance to? Help!

 

Hey girl!  Try getting his number or email to KIT with him!  Maybe you guys can hang out this summer before school starts.  I'm sure you'll both be glad to have a friend who you can talk to about starting at new schools!

I am really in a wierd situation. I am in middle school and I like this guy and he likes me. All my friends and people I know have BFs/GFs,but me. I am NOT allowed to date,but it's becoming annoying and embarrassing because to me, I am a loner and losing chances w/ people I like. Everytime I tell my rents I like someone,they make phony jokes. :/ Help?




Hey girl!

Why don't you try and explain to your parents why you'd like to start dating. Maybe if you give them some good reasons, they'll give in. Also, if you show them you're responsible in other ways then maybe they'll feel you're responsible enough to date. Good luck!

I'm about to break down in tears. I really like this guy. Ok so he and i were almost a couple we used to like each other so much. I still love him. One time in reading when we were supposed to be reading we were talking and all a sudden we both stopped talking and looked into each others eyes like we were going to kiss or something. We probably would have kissed if there wasn't a teacher there and a desk in between us He means the world to me. Not many girls like him cuz he is so weird but i'm completely weird and our weirdness is perfect together we used to walk down the hall together and he almost held my hand once then is all came to a crashing halt when one day he stopped. All a sudden he liked his ex again. idk what happened but now school is out and i'm not going to see him at all probably. I'm so lost and insecure I have his number i can txt him but he probably wont answer. i can still see his big brown eyes looking at me. I know this sounds stupid but please tell me what i can do help!

 

Hey Girl! 

No it doesn't sound stupid at all! If he likes his ex there's not much you can do, but be his friend. Try being friends first and see how it goes from there. Also see if you two can hang out over the summer. It could be with a group of friends, but it would still be better than nothing. And if you feel like you have a good enough relationship you could always talk to him about it. Good luck!
