Should looks be your number one dating priority?

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
My BFF just told me my guy friend likes me. I like him too, but there’s one problem. He’s a little overweight. I can’t get it off my mind. What should I do?


Dave: Physical attraction is important, but it shouldn’t be the determining factor. If the only drawback is that he’s a “little” overweight, don’t let that be a deal-breaker. What if he thought you’re a “little” too blonde for him? Wouldn’t that seem silly? Put the weight issue aside, and focus on his positives. I’m sure they far, um, outweigh the negatives.
 
Bill: You could be the one to help get your portly pal in shape. Plan your dates as workouts: Meet him at the roller rink, take hikes in the woods, go mountain biking. Maybe his excess weight will disappear along with your superficiality.

So I'm on a travel softball team so we play 4 days a week every single week of summer fall and spring. Winter is my only break from softball, however the school play is in the winter. I'm really in to theatre so I definately am going to do the play. But I'm not sure of something. I dont know if I should just sign up for ensemble or audition for a lead,because I know i could get one. The obvious answer would be to audition for a lead but the only thing is thats the only break I have from softball so I feel like it might be too stressful to have a big part, whereas with ensemble it wouldnt be. what do you think i should do?

 

hey! You just have to decide if having a lead would be worth it to you. Does the thought of putting in all those hours make you cringe or do you light up thinking about your friends and family coming to see your lead performance?

What if he says no? Frown and sometimes after my dad comes home from work we go swimming at my uncles pool and maybe i could invite him? My dad doesnt know i like this kid, so maybe he could initiate something? What do i say? Im soooooo scared

 

hey! aw don't be scared! yeah he might say no, that's always a possibility, but you gotta give yourself credit for taking a chance! You like this guy, or you wouldn't be willing to risk it. If he says no, shrug it off and say oh well maybe another time. I don't think it's likely that your dad would agree to invite him over for you, since they'd be working together and that wouldn't be very professional of him.

okay, long story short, i want to ask my bgf and crush, to go hiking with me one of these days. hes mentioned that he likes to do it but doesnt get to do it often, but idk how to ask him or what to say. a year ago i asked him if we could hang out but he said he wasnt sure but we definately got closer since then. idk what to say or how to ask or if he thinks itll be a date. and hes going to be doing some side work with my dad, so my dad will be getting to know him. i dont mean anything by this, just a friendly thing. im afraid he'll say no. and my dads a bricklayer and he mentioned that he needed someone to help him out with carrying things and stuff and michael needed a job so hes going to work with my dad..maybe thatll make us closer. I just dont want him to think its a date. And alot of times after work my dad takrs me and my brother swimming at my uncles pool. Maybe i can ask for him to come? Please help me. Idk what to say!

 

hey! Just be straight-forward. Ask him to go hiking, and if he asks if it's a date just smile and say nah, you just want to hang out.  He won't think it's a date unless you do.

ok so i really like this guy and I want to tell him that I like him, but im not allowed to date. Should I tell him anyway?
And If i do tell him and he says he likes me back, what do i say then? What should I do?? xxx

 

Hey! It sounds to me like you really like this guy Smile congrats, it can be fun to have a crush. The best way to deal with this is to be his friend and see if something more happens naturally. I have seen so many girls get hurt and ruin friendships because they "had to know" if someone liked them, and they asked the guy about it and made the whole situation awkward. I even did that myself when I was younger. It's better to have a secret crush on your friend than to have a public crush on your ex-friend. good luck!

ok so my boyfriend broke up with me about 3 months ago. I thought I could handle it, and for a little while I was fine. But now I can't stop thinking about him. He said he wanted us to be friends, but that isn't exactly working out. All I want is to be able to have conversations with him again and maybe one day he'll rethink this whole broken up thing. He liked me a year before I liked him and then we dated for a year. And I just don't understand how he could move on so fast. Should keep trying to get back together, or stay friends or just move no matter how hard it may be??

 

hey! I think you should stay friends and move on. since he did the breaking up you just have no idea how long it might take to get back together if it ever happens at all. Here are some tips to get over him: http://www.girlslife.com/category/splitsville.aspx
