GUYS | DEAR CAROL

The Scoop: Why you shouldn't settle for "friends with benefits"


 
I’ve gone out with this guy a few times, but it never worked out, even though we have so much in common. Seems when we’re a couple, we don’t talk. When we’re not a couple, we talk all the time. He’s sweet, cute and funny. Is it possible for us to be “friends with benefits”?


Dear Seeker,

Not a good idea. Think about how you might feel if you two were “friends with benefits” and then he asked out another girl for Saturday night? Bad, probably. So why settle? If you two want to go out, make an effort to blast through the awkwardness. If you really aren’t compatible as a couple, then be friends. But don’t complicate matters by adding making-out to the mix. The “benefits” you refer to will feel better with someone you are comfortable enough sharing your emotions with, not just your kisses.

1)I do sports and clubs at my school but it seems like I never get to meet people from other schools unless it is summer time. Got any tips on how to meet boys from other schools? How I can be friends with boys out of my schools bubble?
2)I have this cousin a year younger than me. (I have 20 something cousins... hes just the one boy around my age) He doesn't go to my school. I really want to meet his friends, how do I ask him about meeting his friends without sounding awkward?
Thxx!!

 

hey chica! I think it's a great idea to meet guys from other schools! You can ask around with your girls and see if they have any friends from other schools, and try and coordinate hanging out with them! If you go through your cousin, tell him youre tired of the kids at your school, and ask if he can get together a couple guys and girls, and you can do the same, and you can all hang out together.

I like this guy and sometimes he seems like he likes me and other times he ignores me he doesn't talk to me that much in school cause he's more popular what shall I ever do?

 

hey girl! boys sure are confusing, aren't they? try talking to him more, about things on a deeper level. his interests, his passions, etc. That way you're not just someone to flirt with, but someone who's a good friend. Then the two of you will be closer and you can hopefully bridge the gap to being a couple!

I only talked to my crush once on facebook, and it went really well. Now we don't talk to each other at all. We barely make any eye contact. Is it to late for me to be his friend? If not, what do I say to make myself not look awkward?

 

Hey girl! You can always try FB chatting him again. Do you have any classes together? Talk to him about that! Or ask him if he wants to be partners for the upcoming group assignment. The possibilities are endless!

I started doing cross country at the beginning of the school year and I was super excited to weigh myself because I thought I would have lost a lot of weight. However, when I weighed myself I discovered I had gained 5 pounds! I'm only 5'3" and I feel so fat! How in the world could I have GAINED weight?

 

Hey girl! Gaining weight doesn't make you fat, especially when your body is still growing! It's also possible you gained a lot of muscle from running, because muscle weighs more than fat.
