Should you go for a guy your age or older?

  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
Two boys asked me out, and I don’t know which one to go out with. One is 13 (like me), and he is nice and cares for me—but I don’t think he’s cute. The other says he loves me, and he is sooo cute and sweet—but he’s 18.

 

Dear Double Dudes,

Going out with a guy five years older than you is a big mistake at this stage of your life. But that doesn’t mean you have to go out with the other guy, either! Who says you have to pick one of these two dudes? The world is bursting with guys—over 3 billion, to be precise—so there’s no need to make snappy decisions. This is definitely not your last chance at romance. Sometimes, the getting-to-know-a-guy thing is more fun and less complicated than the going-out-with-a-guy thing. BTW, once you get to know the not-so-cute guy a little better, you might find him cuter (or not). Who knows?

Please help! My schools dance is coming up in 2 weeks. I know a guy who Im going to ask the problem? I tried today to ask between passing time but I couldn't do it. I was thinking about it all during class and I felt sick. I do really want to go w/ him but when it comes down to actually asking him I freak out. The problem is now I'm afraid another girl is going to ask him. How do I just ask him?

 

Hey girlie, you just have to be brave and go for it! Believe me, I know that it's hard to do. But if he says yes it'll be worth it. And the worst thing he can do is say no, which might hurt a little, but there's no damage done.

what about going for a guy 2 years older? is that okay? (i.e. freshie going for jr)

 

hey girl! as long as you're comfy with it I say you're fine. you're both under 18 and 2 years isn't a big diff. good luck!

My crush is really showing that he's into me lately. He's been joking around with me more than usual and staring at me a lot. I would love to make him my bf, the only problem is my mom. When he first started flirting with me, my mom was like "tap his shoulder back! That would be cute!" and she kept on saying how cute he acts around me, like she was supporting everything! But once I started flirting back, she's been calling me boy crazy and that I'm too young to be "flirty" like that. My younger sister makes fun of me about it, and my mom agrees that I'm being too flirty. The only things I do: tap his shoulder when he does something funny,smile at him,look him in the eyes, and occasionally stand next to him. I don't see that as being too flirty. How can I convince my mom to let us have a group date (over my house). It's not like we'll be gone, we'll be in the house with some friends. How do I tell her that?

 

hey girl! it can be tough for parents to accept that us girls grow up. talk to her in a mature and kind way and ask if it'd be alright if some friends came over. list off the names, and include his. see what she says!

xoxo

I just found out maybe a couple of days a go that my bgf and one of my other good friends have gotten closer! Im fine with that but heres the sitch, so basically my best guy friend has been telling her like everything and he even asked her if he should ask this girl out! I knew nothing about it until she came and told me. She's been telling me everything that I've never even heard from him. I recently found out from her that he used to like her and it's true! Im so shocked and now she's been telling me the lovey dovey stuff he's been saying to her over text. He even told her in front of me not to tell me. To make it worse there always together hanging out walking to classes and talking nonstop! I've talked to him bout it and he's still not getting it! What's going on?

 

hey chica! man that really stinks. sometimes we drift apart from our friends and theres not much we can do. you deserve better than a BGF whos going to keep secrets from you! I know its tough but see what you can do to move on.

xoxo
