GUYS | DATING 101 | DUDES DECODED

Why won't my BF show affection in public?


 
My BF is the sweetest guy on the phone, but at school you can't tell we're dating. Why won't he show he cares about me? Should I talk to him about it, drop hints or ignore it all together?
 
Sounds like a classic case of the shy sweetie! There are a ton of people, especially guys, who are simply more comfortable sharing their feelings privately. Some are just better at opening up this way rather than face-to-face communication which can be intimidating at times. When deciding whether to bring this issue up, the bottom line is: if something’s bothering you, then ya gotta speak up.
 
Try dropping hints the next time he shows he cares over a phone convo. If he compliments you, say something like, “That would make my day if you told me at my locker tomorrow morning,” or reward him for his sweetness by slyly saying, “Now you get to hold my hand in the hallway tomorrow.” This way you’re subtly encouraging him to show his affection in public without pressuring him or making him feel like a bad boyfriend. If that doesn't work, ask him why he's so mum in school.
 
But it's best to look on the bright side. Whether he’s telling you in person, or over the phone, he’s still telling you! The feelings are there, so allow him some time to get comfortable with you before displaying his true feelings in school. And if he still doesn't want to go public with his affection, let it be and savor it for when you're on the phone.

my bf never talks to me he sits with me at lunch but talks to my friends instead. he asked me out and always writes me notes and leaves them in my desk(we sit at the same desk for math but different period) we only have advisory(homeroom) together. I really like him and he really likes me but wont talk to me or anything! my guyfriend gave me bad advice first saying break up with him then later walk up to him and kiss him. i wont do either! Im a shy girl, everyone knows and my bf is totally not shy thats one thing i <3 so y wont he pay any attention to me?

Hey girl,

If you like your boyfriend, I wouldn't break up with him and then get together again if that was your plan in the first place, but if you're having communication issues with him the best thing to do is talk to him about it. Maybe he's talking to them if he thinks you're shy, but ask him how you can include yourself in the conversation with him because you want to talk to him too. If you talk about it honestly, you can work it out!

i'm really usually quite a loud fairly popular kind of girl but whenever i'm around my crush i just can't think of anything to say! also i have a school social coming up and i really want my crush to ask me out but i'm not sure if he even knows if i exist should i do somethin? or just try to get his attention please help!

 

Hey babe-

It's totally normal to freeze up when you're around your crush. Take a few deep breaths. Getting nervous won't help him see what an awesome girl you are! So the next time you're around each other joke around a bit and don't be afraid to be a little flirty. Dropping a few hints might encourage him to ask you to the social! xoxo

I'm sorry but this is the stupidest answer to this question. If you want to know why your boyfriend doesn't show affection in public just ask him. That is what I just had to do with my boyfriend and you wanna know why he wasn't? because he was nervous, which is probably the same case with your boyfriend. Dropping hints before asking him about it will only make him more nervous. It's better to ask him then help him overcome the nervousness, not only will it get him to show affection in school but it will make you guys closer.

So I had a Student Council conference this weekend and I hung out with this guy basically the whole time. My friend pointed out to me that it seemed like we totally liked each other. Another girl said the same thing and even my dad thought that we liked each other! Problem is he has a girlfriend, but he made a comment to me saying that he didn't even know how long that was going to last. So I'm not sure if he really likes me and I'm just really confused about this whole thing. What should I do?

 

Hey cmn5297, he could like you. He hung out with you the whole time and basically said he doesn't like his relationship. I would keep getting to know him and flirt a little. Maybe he'll break things off with his girlfriend, and then you can make a move. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I'm in 6th grade and I have a boyfriend. I want to get him a present for Christmas. But my mom won't let me, he doesn't like chocolate, and I don't know what to get him. I know he'll get me one and I want to get him one. What should I do?
Thanks

 

Hey girlie, take pictures of the two of you in the next couple weeks if you don't have any together. Then you can get him a collage frame and frame the pictures. You can even decorate the frame with puffy paint or paint pens to make it more personal.
