Does your flirting drive boys away?

  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
None of my boyfriends ever take me seriously or trust me because I’m a “big flirt.” What should I do?


Dear Flirt,

Should you tone down the flirting? Being overly flirtatious can get you a reputation and put off the guy you like most. Actions have consequences, so figure out how you can have fun flirting a little—without giving guys mixed signals.

This guy showed up in the middle of the year and when i looked in his eyes i gasped and quickly turned around iv never felt this way before.so after about a month i finally said a simple hi on our way from P.E. then later that day he gave me his number! but a week from Christmas he pretended his name was Jake and said don't text this number ever again. so i didn't. but then he randomly starts ignoring me. someone said he thinks I'm creepy.
What should I do? Jess D. Jess D.

 

Hey boogaangel13, I wouldn't talk to this guy anymore girl. He's acting rude and weird. You can do much much much better. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

Ya know what? Sometimes girls flirt and don't even know it!!! It's just their way of life. Just ask your bf to let you know if you're acting flirty!!!

so i got a role in my school play as leisel for the sound of music and at the end of the scene, leisel has to kiss rolph. well i'm a freshman and "rolph" is a senior and im so scared because i havent kissed anyone before. "rolph" is super nice but i just dont want to be a bad kisser and im nervous bc my first kiss is gonna be in front of so many people. any tips to keep calm? thanks so much <3

 

hey girl! since it's in a play, it will probably only be a peck. try not to worry! plus, there will probably be rehearsals so that your first kiss with "rolph" isn't in front of a crowd. you'll be fine! check out our kissing tips articles.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 2 years now 

 

 

Hey Girl, I would strongly urge you to wait. This is a HUGE step, that will change the relationship a lot. Not to mention that you would be risking a lot. And honestly, you are very very young. You are worrying about the fact that you can't drive, and your parents being around, when that isn't what this should be about. Please, please, please rethink this.

I like this guy at my school and he used to like me. Now he likes some other girl because she's white and blonde. (Which is really dumb. You should like someone because you enjoy them) and I kinda still like him. But I don't want myself to like him He cheated on me and ditched our date three times! But still, part of me still like him. And I don't like it! Please help me.

Hey girl, based on your past experience with this guy, it sounds wise to try to not like him.  Cheating and ditching are not cool.  Decide to move on and there might just be another cutie around the corner.  In the meantime, check out this fun single girls playlist.

So for the most part im a pretty quiet girl. I don't mind it too much, but i want to start talking to people more, eccspecially guys.some of my friends are kinda teasing me about this and it's begun to get on my nerves. What are some ways to 1)start branching out and talking more and 2) start talking to new people? Thanks!

 

Hey girlie, you just have to be brave and confident and do it! If you want to do it badly enough, you'll make it work. You have to fake it until you make it so even if you're not feeling so confident about starting a conversation with a new person, if you act like you are you'll get more comfortable with it over time and no one will know you're shy.

So I told my crush that I liked him in October, and he acted a bit like a jerk. He was like "Yeah, I kinda thought so". It was really awkward. I said "Well sorry if this is awkward. See you next week" and I walked away. After the embarrassment, I get a Facebook message from him saying that he's sorry. He asked if he could text me, and he gave me his number. The next day, he had his bff reject me for him. I was heartbroken. Now, I see him tomorrow at karate. I just started this fighting competition thing, and whenever I see my ex-crush, I get nervous and my kick becomes weaker. My ex-crush is a higher belt that I am, so I'm kind of intimidated by him. How can I stop the nervousness? I want to show him that I'm not just a girly girl and that he should watch out! I'm normally a really strong kicker, but when it comes to him, I stop being confident. Thanks Smile

 

Hey girlie, do whatever you have to do to block him out. Focus on yourself and your kicking and pretend he isn't there. You need to try to forget about him. You can't let him continue to have a negative impact on your life.

So I asked this guy to a dance with some candy to go as friends. But he was very polite and said he couldn't because he said he had something going on. He is a really nice guy. But now i wonder should I ask someone else because I told him to keep the candy anyway but would it be weird to ask someone else and not have anything to give that person because what if he doesn't say yes ( the other guy)?

 

Hey girlie, go ahead and ask someone else as long as this guy is a definite no. You don't need to give a guy something to ask him to a dance. Just ask!

thanks Lauren T. do you think it could be because their growing?

 

Hey girlie, it's possible, but it sounds more likely that something is irritating them. But just because the pain probably isn't associated with it, it doesn't mean that they're not growing.

MOD! MOD! MOD! I'm in 6th grade, and I think my crush might like me. I'm not interested in dating or kissing or any of that stuff right now! I know i'm too young, but I was wondering if I should get him anything for V-Day? I gave him a birthday present on his birthday and he was really happy. Should I get him anything, if so, what?

 

Hey girlie, you could get him something small like a box of chocolates or another candy he likes. It's the thought that counts!

I think that my Best Friend's brother likes me. (I've left a comment asking if he does before =)). Do you have any advice on how I can handle this situation (I like him back)? I need some advice about this

 

Hey girlie, talk to your friend about it first. You don't want to make any moves that she's uncomfortable with or do anything that upsets her. If she gives you the go ahead then do some flirting or ask him if he wants to hang out sometime without his sister.

I dont know why but sometimes NOT all the time
my breast feel weried like they hurt a little around like the sides it doesint hurt like really bad but I dont know if its the bra im wearing or not

 

Hey girlie, I would bet it's probably your bra. If you notice that they hurt after wearing a certain bra, stop wearing that one and see if the problem continues. If that doesn't seem to be it then talk to a doctor about it.

I really liked this boy and we went to the movies together and held hands. We started dating and after about 2 weeks my best friends said he was ignoring me. I didn't think he was and so I didn't do anything about it. The next week one of my best friends told him that I hated him and then that same day my other best friend broke up with him for me without asking me. I would've asked him out again but when she broke up with him he said, "Good.". I don't really know what to do! Should I apologize to him? HELP! Cry

 

Hey girlie, apologize for what your friends did, but let him go. If his response was good then he's not someone you want to be with.

Hey girlie, you still have a few weeks! Make a date for that weekend and get his favorite meal. You can also get him a sentimental gift like picture frame with your favorite picture of the two of you or a playlist/ CD with songs that remind you of him.

So yesterday on impulse I went up and hugged my guyfriend on the side and walked away. But today I said hello to him and he kind of didn't really respond happily he said hello half-heartily. He usually hugs me when we see each other but I never hug first he always does. Does he think I like him because of that, cause I don't really like him hes just my friend. What should I do I don't want to stop being friends with him?

 

Hey girlie, maybe he was just in a weird mood. Give it a little time and see what happens. I doubt that your hug had such an impact, but if it doesn't get better then talk to him about it.

So, I like this guy. He has been giving me signs that he likes me like writing on my notebook putting his name with a heart around it. His one friend said he is going to ask me out tonight. the problem is that he cheated on his last girlfriend. I don't want to get cheated on, but I like him.
Thanks!

 

Hey girlie, just be careful. You can't assume that he'll cheat on every girl that he'll ever be with. Sometimes things just happen. But go for it! Keep an eye out for any signs that he may be cheating on you, but don't worry so much about it.

I am sick and really don't feel good. I don't have a fever though so I decided to go to school. School is really running me down though making me feel absolutely horrible after. I don't want to miss school though because I do not want to miss all the tests I am having this week and miss out on al the lessons. I am also trying to get perfect attendance and I don't wanna miss out on everything my friends are doing. What should I do? Stay home or go to school?

 

Hey girlie, if you feel like you can go to school then do it. You only have two days left before you have the weekend to rest up. But if you're really not feeling well take a day off. Some rest and cold medicine will help you feel better.

I flirt with my guyfriends, but am shy around guys I don't know. Any tips? Also, how do I get guys to like me more?

 

hey girl! sometimes you just have to bust out of your comfort zone. if you see a cute guy, casually approach him and ask him about something you two have in common. maybe you both play soccer, maybe he's wearing a t shirt of your fave band...? whatever it is, bond with him over it and soon the convo will be flowing. just remember to be yourself and you'll be fine! xoxo

I have a new crush on my basketball team. He's funny and nice and overall just really cool. It's kinda weird though, cause it's not really like a crush I've ever had before. Instead of being like, "OH MY GOODNESS! THERE HE IS! WHAT DO I SAY!" It's more like, "Oh look, there's ______, I'm gonna go say hi." I don't know if that makes any sense, but I guess it's more like a crush on a guy because he's cool, not because he's the cutest boy in town. When I think about him, it's not in a "I wish he would kiss me" kind of way, but more like, "I wanna hang out with him." When I started basketball, most everyone had already played before so he was always helping me and telling me good job and stuff. He's just really sweet, but I don't understand why I'm not all squealy about it. ?

 

hey girl! there are lots of different types of crushes. maybe one day you will get total butterflies over him, but its no biggie if you dont. in fact, it could be a sign that you like him for the right kind of reason. rather than fangirling over practically a stranger, youre crushing on a guy you befriended first...and thats awesome! good luck girlie.
