Hook a hottie: How to play it cool


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
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.

Mod Mod Mod! My best friend is in hockey (even tho she's super girly like me) and in a couple weeks she is going to take me to her game to meet a guy she says is perfect for me. What kind of clothes should i wear, and how should i do my hair? like jeggings and a sweatshirt? or a skirt and tank with flipflops? and i normally curl my hair with a bow, so like that? or with a braid or twist in my grown out bangs? thank you (:

 

Hey girl!

That's super exciting--I hope everything goes well for ya! Remember you're going to a sports game, so dress casually. If it's not too hot then you could wear a sweatshirt, but don't wear something that's cute if it doesn't make any sense with the weather. All of the ways you suggested to wear your hair sound really cute. Since you're meeting this guy, why don't you wear it the way you normally do? It sounds super cute and shows him the real you!

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!
I have become friends with a guy and we've been texting for around 6 months, with alot of ups and downs. The other night I realized he didn't text me for 2 days which was weird since we were on a good level. So I texted him saying that I was thinking about him and he text me back and pretty much blew my heart felt feelings off and was just trying to be funny. This doesn't bother me, but it's like every time I try to be sentamental he blows it off. Now he hasn't talked to me in days. Btw he's 17 and I'm 16. Should I text him? or forget him?
Thanks, Kate

 

Hey girl!

There's only so much chasing after him you should do. You could talk to him about it and ask why he keeps acting like that. But honestly, if he doesn't come around there is no point to keep trying so hard. There are plenty of other guys that would be interested in you and that would want to treat you the way you deserve to be treated.

Okay, so there is this girl I used to be such best friends with, but then she went to another school and it all went downhill. Now I have barely seen her for the whole year and we never talk anymore. I don't think we can ever go back to our old friendship, but I want things to be less awkward and distant between us. How could I do this??? Thanks. Smile




Hey babe,

The best way is to just talk to her! Catch up on what's going on with you and your school and her and her new school. Invite her to get together for lunch or play mini gold or bowling. Make the effort to reach out to her and show that you want to continue your friendship. She'll appreciate you taking the initiative.
