Help! I like a jerk--should I give him a chance?

Everyone tells me this guy likes me and that we should date, but he always acts mean to me around his friends. He is friends with the typical "wrong group," but I know that he's good inside. How do I help him get over his ego or stop caring so much?
 
Hey girl! Ugh, the "bad boy" act can be so annoying. To figure out if his not-so-cool attitude is here to stay, find a time when just the two of you can have a chat. Avoid lunchtime or in between classes when your friends are everywhere. Make sure the only person he's thinking about or trying to impress is you. Then, tell him how you're feeling. Say that you think he likes you, and that makes you happy, but you're not sure if he really does because he's always acting mean to you around other people. What gives? Listen to what he has to say. If he apologizes and says he'll treat you with the respect you deserve, whether or not his crowd of friends is around, awesome! There's hope for you and this boy.

However, if he comes back with a mean retort and is unable to leave the attitude at the door, even when talking with only you, then it's probs time to say goodbye. There are def lots of other boys out there who are totes crushable, without the rudeness factor. It's not worth worrying about someone who is mean to you, no matter how cute he is. Best of luck, chica!

There is a guy that used to go on my bus, he stopped last week. He is in Grade 6 p, I'm in Grade 7. I really like him, but he's sort of got a reputation for being a jerk with a super ego. Like the girl in this post, he does have a very nice side. But he can switch between the egotistical jerk and the sweet guy like a light switch. And he prob doesn't like me, but when he was on the bus he'd always stare at me, I'd pretend I couldn't see it, but it was pretty obvious. The other day I was leaving the locker room and he was entering so of course we almost bumped into each other, but stopped about 4cmbaway from each Esther's faces, then we split ways...! Please help, I'm head over heels and I don't know why!




Hey girlie! I know the feeling. But if he really is the sort of guy who can turn into a jerk at a moment's notice, I would steer clear. You never really know what's going to happen down the road, and it's best to head-off potentially disastrous situations while you can. xxx

MOM MOD MOD!!! PLEASE REPLY QUICK!!!!
I broke my moms sewing machine after she told me not to use it. How do I break the news to her and let her know I'm sincerely sorry and she doesn't have to kill me!!!??!!!!

 

Hey girlie, approach her when she's in a good mood so she won't take her other frustrations out on you. Explain to her what happened and how sorry you are, and even though she might be upset I'm sure she'll forgive you.

It's totally normal not to have a crush yet! Not every guy will be your type! Just be patient and the right guy will come!

So this is super twisted. I recently transered shools in January, I met a boy (Lets name him Jacob,) well Jacob here is Mr.Popularity, Sargent Hottie and Captain athelete. So of course every girl is digging him. No jokeI have a huge crush on him. But i flipped out on him a few weeks ago, and we havent talked since. We don't have any classes together, the only reason we met was because one of my friends introduced me to him. I don't know how to turn things around. He doesn't seem the intrested anymore. How do I turn the entire siuation around and gain his attention again? Or should I even try?

Hey girl, try to turn the sitch around by apologizing for flipping out on him.  It's a great excuse to talk to him.  Best of luck!

so my prom is this year (a little more than 2 months away) and i still don't have a date. while i'm going regaurdless if i don't get a date, i still want one. all my close guy friends are already taken, and im not close to many guys, because i'm a bit shy. people tell me that i can be a bit intimadating when i do come out of my shell though. so i was wondering 1) is it fine if i go alone (i'm going with a huge group regaurdless, we all plan to meet up b4 prom) 2) how could i possibly get a date? flirt more/open up to more guys? and 3) is it okay if I ask a guy? or will that freak him out/make him feel less masculine? (sometimes i think it's time for us girls to take a stand!) Your help would be much appricated! (btw, i got an absolute gorgous dress!)

Hey girl, it's totally fine to go alone, especially if you're going with a huge group.  The best way to get a date is to just stay cool and confident and ask someone, you can do it!  If the boy you're asking is comfortable and confident with himself, it shouldn't insult his masculinity at all.  You go girl!
