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.

There's something I don't understand. I'm in 6th grade, and people I know have been "dating" since 5th grade. But I (maybe it's just my opinion) think that it's kinda stupid. I mean, how can you be "in love" at age 10/11/12? Am I missing something?

 

Hey girlie, you're not missing anything. I agree with you that that's kind of young for dating and love. But girls start feeling different things at different ages. So while some girls might be ready so young, it's totally ok and normal that you're not.

Whenever I read something or see something where the guy comes up and talks to the girl then asks her out I always think to myself, "Why doesn't it happen to me?" My family tells me I'm pretty and beautiful but guys don't really talk to me that much. I'm kinda quiet, and not really popular. I have a few guy friends who I chat with, but I'm only really close with one. Is that a bad thing? Why don't guys talk to me?

 

Hey girlie, I'm sure your family is right and you are very beautiful! Boys are probably intimidated by you. And especially if you tend to be quieter, they might not know you very well or know what you're like as a person. It's not a bad thing, and as you get older I'm sure you'll get a lot more attention from the boys. There's nothing wrong with you if the boys aren't trying to knock down your front door just yet.

My parents are kinda racist. Well, not racist racist, but they want me to marry/date someone the same race as me. The thing is..... My boyfriend is Welsh. I never told them about me and my boyfriend dating over the summer. I really do love him, and he does love me. How do i tell them that we are together without them freaking out and trying to split us apart?

 

Hey girlie, when you introduce him to your parents, start out by telling them before they meet him how much he means to you and how good he is for you. Hopefully, they'll trust your judgement and let that take priority over his race.

MOD MOD MOD my crush and i like eachother...but i feel like im either being too clingy or he is playing hard to get based on how we havr been acting around eachother latelh...how do i tell if i am being clingy...or how do i play hard to get without seeming like i am uninterested?

 

Hey zeus11, being clingy means you're always bothering someone. So if you think you're doing this stop texting and calling him so much or always going up to him and talking. When you see him say "Hey, whats up" and if he takes it from there keep it going. Just play it cool and give him a little space. Hope this helps! Xoxo
