The Dirt: What guys really think of formals


 

Check these out, too...

  • How to deal with a bad kisser
  • 16 fun in the sun summertime dates
Getting all glammed up and hitting the dance floor sounds like a blast for us girls. But guys, well, it’s hard to tell. They pull at their ties and complain about buying corsages, but when they get out there it seems they have some fun. We don’t want to force our BFs or BGFs to do something they’re not in to, and those mixed messages make it hard for us to get enthusiastic about getting them to go. So let’s peak into their minds and see what they really think:
 
“They’re fun in Texas. I don’t know about [everywhere else]. The dancing or after party is my favorite.” –William S., 16
 
“A lot of guys probably think formals are lame. I have no problem dressing up. Every guy would rather just be alone with the girl, and not go out at all, or at least a party.” –Drew G., 15
 
“Good excuse for new Facebook profile picture and can be fun. Good like reuniting everyone putting their best foot forward face.” –Yohnny R., 17
 
“Dances are fun, and a good way to hang out with kids from school. I’ll go to one if it doesn’t cost too much” –Calvin C., 14
 
“I usually dread dances before I go, but once I’m there, I have a lot of fun. Especially if I like the group I’m with.” –Jack E., 15

So...I need help. I just met this guy at swing dancing the other night, and I'm pretty much Juliet to Romeo for him. I realize that this is mostly infatuation, but I honestly can't stop thinking about him. I went again to swing dancing and for the second time he asked me if I would be his partner, and we danced a lot that night. He seemed really nervous, and was blushing and giggling almost excessively, which was a surprise for me (most guys who look like him are pretty confident). We talked once on facebook after I initiated a conversation, and he was really responsive. I probably won't see him for a little while, since he lives so far away and goes to a different school. I guess what I'm asking is ALaughingo you think there's a good chance he likes me? And B. What do I do now?
Thanks Smile

 

Hey girlie, there's definitely a chance that he's interested in you. So keep talking to him on Facebook. Get to know him better and see where things go!

So, I've had this one guy friend since like second grade. I used to have a crush on him but i got over him last year. But now all of a sudden my friends are saying we'd be cute together, and totally disaprove of my current crush. At my school dance recently, we were playing a game where you had to stand in a circle and hold eachothers hands, and my guy friend grabbed mine. His palms were all sweaty, either from being nervous or just from dancing, I wasn't sure. I couldn't look at him for the whole time; I was too scared, but I knew he was looking at me. I'm not sure what to do now. I think he likes me... what should I do? What should I say to him next time we talk?

Hey girlie,

If he hasn't said anything to you and you're not sure if he likes you, you don't have to do anything right now. He might have just been sweaty because it was hot! If he does tell you that he likes you and you don't like him back, you could just tell him that you like hanging out with him but that you only want to be friends. It's better to be honest than to lead him on and hurt him later!

MOD MOD MOD!!! I have a great BF. We've been going out for about a month in a half. For the first few weeks, he would text me all the time. Now, he never texts or calls me. We talk whenever we see each other and he still holds my hand and walks me to class and hugs me. I've told him to tell me whenever he's free on the weekends and he's always busy or I don't get a response. He hasn't made an effort to get together. I'm really confused because everything is normal at school. I only have one class with him, so I feel we don't see each other enough. What should I do? Why is he doing this? I don't know if he's hiding something from me (I get the impression his parents are strict) or if he just doesn't want to hang out. He doesn't have a phone, so he texts me from his iPod. I feel that if I constantly ask him when he wants to hang out, I might get annoying. I need really good advice because I just feel stuck.

Hey girlie,

Maybe he really is busy--is he stressed out about a big school project or on a sports team? Try telling him that you like spending time with him at school and would really like to see him more outside of class. If it's because his parents are strict, maybe you could suggest hanging out in a group instead of just the two of you, or invite him to dinner with your family. Try to find a compromise that works for his schedule and both of your parents' rules, and then you will be able to see him more! Good luck girlie Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!! HELP ME!
How come guys don't text girls first? Some guys aren't shy, but they just don't text us first. Can you help me find out why?

Hey girlie,

I think it depends on the guy--some guys might like texting, while others might prefer to talk on the phone or have an in-person conversation. Or maybe they are just busy! It really depends on the person. If you are texting a guy who doesn't respond, maybe you could wait for him to text you first so it doesn't seem like you are always the one texting him.

i have to guys friends who have their own girlfriends. im single and insecure. they will say really super sweet things to make me feel better, and when theyre being insecure i dont know if im allowed to say sweet things back. maybe they will think im being weird or have a crush on them. am i supposed to say the same things they tell me?? thanks so much!!

Hey girlie,

Don't be so hard on yourself! It is perfectly normal to not have a boyfriend or to even want one (but it's ok if you do, too!), and you should never define your security or happiness by what a guy (or guys) think of you. I'm sure if you're friends they won't think it's weird if you aren't flirty or mushy, and if they're close friends with you, they'll tell you if you say anything that seems weird Smile
