  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
‘Tis the season of giving and you know what that means: stressing out over what to get the guys in your life. Shopping for your BFFs was easy, but what’s a girl to do when the person she’s shopping for isn’t exactly into nail polish and glitter? According to these guys, sometimes the answer to that question is in the details.
 
“I used to steal my best friend’s cookies every day at lunch, so for Christmas she bought me my own box. It was so funny, but thoughtful at the same time.” – Josh R. 15
 
“I’m a such a jokester, so my girlfriend has made a habit of getting me a small joke gift along with another present. Sometimes I end up liking the joke gift more just because it shows how well she knows me!” – Luke E. 14
 
“I’m obsessed with hockey and one year for Christmas I was dropping hints to my girlfriend that I wanted tickets to a game. I didn’t think she would get them for me because she’s not into sports at all, but when we exchanged gifts I opened up mine and they were tickets to a Penguins game! She even said she’d go with me just so we could spend time together.” – Sam S. 17
 
“My entire friend group does Secret Santa every year around the Holidays, and one year one of my closest girlfriends picked me. When we exchanged gifts I received a small package and an envelope. In the envelope was a letter that explained how much she liked me and all of the good times we’ve had together. We started dating and we’re still together now.” – John A. 16
 
“I’ve kept every handwritten letter a girl has ever given me. They definitely mean the most.” – Payton W. 17

So, my step brothers wedding is Saturday with the rehearsal dinner Friday. I'm leaving early on Friday from school to get my hair and nails done. How should I do my hair? I was thinking some curls that look very elegant, but I want my hair to be pretty simple because my dress has so much "pizzazz". So hair ideas? My hair is dark and somewhat long with bangs and ombré at the bottom. Thanks!!!




Hey girl! Long waves with a little braid or two would look so cute! Ask your stylist for some different ideas, too. They're pros so will definitely know what will look best for you. You can even take a picture of your dress so they can pick the best style! Have fun!

I get so sad I even cry bcuz I feel as if I'm not unique. I used to pride myself on being the smartest person in the class but at my new big school there r other smart ppl! Mom says it's my ambition that sets me apart(I want to be President) but will that actually serve me well? And also, what do I talk about to guys I like? I always have to talk about school sports or friend sit gets boring. Thanks!




Hey girl! Ambition is a great quality to have and will absolutely serve you well. Just remember there is only one you and you should always strive to be the best version of yourself. No doubt you'll go far! Talk to the boys you're crushing on about anything. Music, movies, books! If the guy is right, the convo will just flow! Good luck!

Hey cloudyday, congrats on your first boyfriend. Make a list of all the things he's interested in and come up with a gift from there. Hope this helps! Xoxo

How do you like a guy without getting obsessed? That's what happened for many of my past crushes. I don't want to lose my guy friend just because I like him. But I also don't want to give him mixed signals. I noticed I was doing that. How do I like him without being too much to freak him out but not back off so much that he assumes I just like him as a friend? Thanks! Smile




Give him little signals. For example try texting him tonight but give a little time before responding- you don't want to seem desperate. Make sure you limit your texting as well. If you text him first every single day, that's when you need to skip a few days.
