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!

Okay, this is kind of complicated: I like this guy 'D' who had a huuuge crush on me last year (like, roses on V-Day and bringing me homemade chocolate chip cookies, that big) and he still did this year. We were sorta-kinda dating, but then drifted apart after I realized I didn't really like him, and he started dating someone else (he still had a crush on me when he was dating that girl). Then I became jealous and realized I still DID like him. Well, 'D' was dumped by his old girlfriend and appears to be crushing on me harder than ever. I really want to at least become friends again, if not more. We've talked a couple times, but now I'm super shy around him. How can I get our relationship to the way it was (hopefully)?

 

Hey girlie, keep talking to him and spending time with him. You may be shy and nervous at first, but the more you do it and the closer you get to him, the more comfortable you'll be. And spending that time together will help get your relationship back to what it was, or at least give you the chance to have that conversation with him.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!! So what does it mean when a guy smiles uncontrolably and acts like and idiot around you. Cause my crush does that around me. Thanks and please answer this comment. Thanks.

 

Hey girlie, it probably means that he likes you. But the only way to know for sure is to talk to him about it.

MONDAY is mad monday.
TUESDAY is pajam day
WEDNESDAY is twin day

thank you!!!!

 

Hey girlie, I don't know what Mad Monday means so I'm not sure I can help you there. But on Tuesday you can wear some cute PJ pants and a t-shirt, Wednesday you and your friend can dress however you want together and Thursday wear a school t-shirt or something else in those colors with a ribbon in your hair.

So I've liked this same guy for a year, we have each others numbers, he's always so sweet when we talk in the hall but we haven't ever hung out. I've probably thought about him everyday for a year now, pathetic right? And I want to tell him that I like him but I don't want him to freak and never talk to me again. We don't have classes together so the only time we can talk is by my friends locker. Help me find ways to befriend him more please!

 

Hey girlie, you're not pathetic! Ask him to hang out outside of school. Since you've never done it before, it'll be a good way to tell if he's interested in you and you'll get to see another side of him. Then you can decide from there if you should tell him that you like him.
