Hook a hottie: How to play it cool


 

Check these out, too...

  • Reminder: Our June/July Real Girl Winter Vinecki is answering your Qs tonight on Facebook!
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • How to deal with a bad kisser
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.

What do I say when a guy turns you down? Like, to make it seem like you're OK or relieved by it? Because I was dared to ask my crush out...

Hey girl,

You don't have to ask him out if you don't want to -- even if you were dared, your friends don't want you to embarrass yourself! And you don't have to act like you're relieved, because that might hurt his feelings! Just say okay and that you hope you can still be friends.

Ok so i used to b BFFLs with this one girl, we had been throufh sooo much and i luved her! She wuz understanding and always der fr me and den came middle skool..... Shs became popular and i wuznt (i wunt "cool" but i had a bunch of friendz) so anywayz i reli miss talkin to her and all, and im alwayz da one to start convos and stuff, so how do i start talkin to her again widout seeming too pushy? And also, how do i ask out a guy? Lyk wa do i say and stuff widout making it awkward? And if he says no how do i act? 


Hey girl,

It won't sound pushy if you used to be friends, so just tell her you miss hanging out and want to catch up sometime! As for asking out the guy, just say you want to hang out, and if you think it will be awkward, you could always ask him on a group date. If he says no, just say okay and that you hope you can still be friends.

Hi! I kinda like this guy in my soccer league. The problem is he is on the other team. I want to maybe flirt a little or something but I don't really know how to while playing soccer lol I don't really want to compliment him on his skills because he is on the other team and that would be a little weird...

 

hey girl!

You don't need to hang out in practice only! Why don't you try asking if he wants to hang out after practice sometime?

Hi! So i like this guy, and he's like one of my besties. I like him and i just found out he likes me. He's still trying to get over his ex, and i'm WAY taller, we're not gonna be going to the same highschool but we'll still stay in touch. Basically what i'm saying is that i'm in love (yes IN LOVE!) with this guy and i'm only almost 14.. I have no idea what i should do cause he keeps saying how he's not gonna date anyone till the end of the year. I have NOT asked him out, and i have NO guy experience (kissing, dating, etc.) what should i do? He says he wants to stay friends but i know we both dont truthfully want that. I just found out at the end of the day yesterday. Today's friday. Please help!!

 

Hey girl!

If you really like this guy, which it sounds like you do, then be his friend! Eventually once he gets over his ex then things between you could move forward if you wanted. Just go along with it and see how it goes. You two may end up being better as friends, who knows?
