GUYS | WHAT GUYS THINK

The Dirt: What guys really think of formals


 
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

There's this guy at my church's youth group. I kind of like him. He doesn't even know me though. I'm in middle school, he's in high school. Will he think I'm weird if I talk to him? How do I get to know him? He usually plays pool at the pool table. What can I say to get his attention? If I introduce myself, it'll sound like I like him. What are some ways to talk to him without looking desperate? Thanksss

Hey girlie,

That might be a big age difference, but if you're at the end of middle school and he's at the beginning of high school it might not matter as much. If you like pool, you could challenge him to a game, or if you don't want to introduce yourself one on one, you could go over with a few friends and all introduce yourselves. It will also be more comfortable to get to know him if your friends are there. Good luck girlie!

Thanks for answering! I think it might be a bit soon to ask him if he likes me, so I was thinking of writing him a tbh. I don't want to look desperate. How's this: "tbh: you look like Ken from toy story 3 lol. I had fun last night. Sorry about that one kick! Oh yeah and we should talk more."

 

Hey isabellec, that's so cute! Send that! Xoxo Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
So I like this guy that goes to my church, but we've never really talked before! I'm too nervous to talk to him in real life. We're friends on Facebook and I'd really like to message him one day, but I have NO idea how to message him without being awkward. Cause we've never really introduced ourselves to each other and a simple "hey" is just boring. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to talk to him, but I don't know what to talk about! Please help me!

 

Hey megagirrl, try making eye contact and waving to him when you see him. You could introduce yourself to him by saying something like "Hey, I'm (your name). We're Facebook friends right?" and take it from there. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

There was this guy who rejected me last year.He started avoiding me at all costs. Then one day he liked my tbh status. That was odd.He never did that before.Yesterday at karate,I made a joke with my little sis that he looks like a Ken doll. Her friend heard, and walked over to him and pointed at me and said "that girl thinks you look like a Ken doll". He looked at me. I didn't know what to do, so I walked over and said "Yeah, that's right. You do look like a Ken doll. Your hair looks like plastic" and I walked away. He giggled and his bff started laughing and agreeing. It was time to fight. I got paired up with him. He looked at me for a sec, and then quickly looked away. I kicked him hard by accident, and the instructor and him started laughing. I said "are you okay" and he laughed and said "yeah I'm fine". He was having fun fighting me.I fought him a second time. I caught him and his bff looking at me. Does it sound like he likes me? Should I say hi next week? Thanks!

 

You can't really tell if he likes or not until he tells you himself! Why don't you ask him if he likes you! Or if you like him, you can tell him how you feel so it will be easier for him to open up! Good luck girl!

i love those "no makeup" looks.what should i were to achieve that look??
thanks

 

hey girl! try a touch of mascara, a lip balm like baby lips which infuses a bit of color, and concealer if you've got any blemishes. If you still want more, try a subtle eye shadow shade that's only a little bit darker or lighter than your true shade. Still want more? Carefully lift your top eyelid,and apply kohl eyeliner to the line of skin under your eyelashes. by lining this under-rim, you'll get a subtly stronger look without anyone being able to tell you're wearing makeup.

can i put baby oil,vaseline and vitamin e oil on my lashes?? should i put all three or just one???

 

hey girl! you don't wanna overload your lashes, because getting any of that gooey stuff in your eye would really hurt. you could dip a clean mascara wand in any of these three things to help make your lashes healthier. I think vitamin E works the best, I sometimes brush it through my lashes before bed.

So this nice family I know (my parents know these parents, I know the daughter, and I have a crush on the son) brought me and my brother to a educational concert yesterday (we are all homeschooled) and it was really fun and I was talking to my crush and sitting next to him in the car (yay!) and when his friends arrived to the concert my crush WOULDN'T TALK TO ME! HE WAS JUST TALKING TO ME, now he won't? And to make it WORSE we all went out to Subway afterwords and the tables weren't big enough, so me, my brother, my crushes parents, and one girl and her mom sat togetherwhile my crush, his sister and his sisters friend and his buddy sat together! And they were LAUGHING and having a good time and the car ride back home my crush didn't really talk to me because I had to sit next to sister. What do I do? Why does he act so different around his friends? Should I befriend his friends?

 

hey girl! he probably wasn't even aware he was doing anything to upset you. it could be a good idea to befriend his friends so it makes it easier for you all to hang out as a group next time. don't worry, you'll have more opportunities to talk to him in the future!
