how do you tell when a guy likes you?
i'd prefer answers from guys. thanks. (link)
I'm a girl but these are signs to tell if a guy likes you. Remember all boys are different though.

http://www.wikihow.com/Know-if-a-Guy-Likes-You


so i like this guy.
he's been my friend for over a year now.
and we've been hanging out and talking a lot recently.

i kind of like him.
and i think he might like me.

how can you tell if someone likes you?
i know how annoying that question is, but yeah.

i want to tell him i like him.
but whats the best way to do so without ruining a friendship? (link)
There are tons of signs guys give if they like you.

-Sometimes when you guys talk he'll say the dumbest things just to keep the conversation going.

-If he stares at you.

-They usually ask you for stuff they really don't need.

-If they try to make you laugh or smile.

-He might have nicknames or picks on you for fun.

-He'll respect you.

-He might accidentally bump into you.

-He might play stupid to get your attention.

-They might be over protective over you.

-He might play fight with you.
Those are alot of signs, there is plenty more but those are just some.

You can tell him how you feel but be aware it sometimes does ruin a friendship but not all the time. Say something like, "Hey so and so I kinda like you." But make sure if he doesn't feel the same then try to tell him that you still want to be friends. I hope everything works out for you.


Alright, so as it always starts out, "there's this guy", and I can't stop thinking about him. I even dream about him (ALL the time..weird), and I do "like" him I guess, yet I've never actually had a conversation with him before. I'm a junior and he's a sophmore, so he's a grade below me(which makes me feel weird liking him), but anyways, we are completely different when it comes to who we are. You know, the whole high school stereotypical group thing; I'm an athletic soccer playing cheerleader, and he's one of those "scene" type of people whose in a band, has gauges in his ears, and doesn't seem to talk to many people from our school other than his close friends. I know (based on his myspace page) that we do have lots of similar interest, like music, movies, and all of that stuff, yet I don't how I could ever start to get to know him. I know I could just go up and say hi, or message him on myspace, but it's not that easy. I'm way too shy of a person to do that, plus he's kind of intimidating (considering he doesn't talk to people he doesn't know much). Is there anyway I can get this guy to notice or talk to me? I know it's kind of a stupid question, and doesn't have much of a point, but I just don't know what to do.

Thanks in advance (and sorry it's so long) (link)
I am like you. I am shy and I would be very uncomfortable talking to a guy I never talk to. But I have done it. And now me and that guy are friends. So all you need to do is get some confidence and smile at first and then maybe later you can introduce yourself. You would never know what can happen if you never go up and talk to him. I know for a fact it is very hard to do that but start off small and smile then introduce yourself. Then after that you can start talking to him. So I hope everything works out for you.


how do you know if a guy likes you or not?? what are the signs? (link)
There are tons of signs but even if they do some doesn't mean for sure they do but these are some signs. They probably do like you if they do a lot of these.

-Watch his body language. You might see him leaning towards you. Also see if he tries to impress you. Or if he is getting in your personal space. And he doesn't step back.

-Check his eye contact. If he likes you he might catch your eye and hold it. Unless he is shy he might look away quickly or blush.

-He also might touch you on your arm or something.

-He might tease you but remember even if he does it doesn't mean he does.

-He might be nervous around you.

-If you smile at him and he smiles back that is a good sign.

-Also watch his friends, they might tease him or something

-Be open and see if he comes and talks to you.

-If you talk to him often he might use your name a lot.

-See how he acts during your conversation. If he is nervous or jumpy.

- * If he wants to talk to you all the time,
* If he starts acting nicer when you're around him,
* If he says yes to all the things you ask him to do,
* If he treats you differently to other girls,
* If he looks at you a lot every time you smile or laugh,
* If he acts immature around you, like poking, teasing or playful flirting,
* If he seems to always want to hang out with you,
* If he gets closer with a body part, or if he tries to touch you (ex. when you touch him he might touch you back showing affection and compassion),
* If you catch him peeking at you and he smiles,
* If he tries to make you laugh, or if he tries to copy you,
* If he walks up to you out of the blue and hugs you,
* If he tries to keep you in view for as long as possible, or tends to look around and stop when he finds you,
* If he subtly looks at you but makes it look like he is looking at the girl next to him,
* If he goes out of his way to talk to you (ex. if he goes to the other side of the school to talk to you because he knows you have a class there),
* If you block him on instant messenger and stop talking to him, and he finds a way to talk to you,
* If he invites you to his birthday party or any kind of party,
* If you flirt with a friend of his when he can see, and he looks jealous or automatically flirts back,
* If he talks to you and wants to know how you're doing,
* If he is nicer or tries to talk to your friends,
* If he asks about you to your friends when you're not around
* If he asks you to dance with him at the dance.
* If he walks past you and tries to look cool so you can glance at him
* If he starts flirting with your friends to make you jealous.
* If a guy tries to show you things he got that are somewhat expensive (ex. a cellphone)...he probably likes you...he's trying to impress you,
* If he always talks to you there's a great chance that he likes you.

I know that was a lot but I hope this helped.


He loves me but he needs space. I don't know how to do that. I seriously can't stop...it is like an addiction. I love him so much and can't just stop talking to him. I am so worried that I am going to screw this whole relationship up if I don't stop!!!
Help me stop!! (link)
You are right, it can ruin a relationship. Keep that in mind. Take some time with friends and do some stuff to keep your mind off him. I mean don't neglect him and ignore him. My friend had to deal with this but the boyfriend wasn't giving her space so they had to break up. So give him some time with his friends. And make some time for yours. You can also find some clubs to join or sports to keep you busy. But also have time for him or else you would be giving him too much space and he will think you are ignoring him. I hope everything works out for you.


My brother is in 7th grade, turning 13 very soon, and has no interest in girls whatsoever. He also cries everyday over little things and is very sensitive, impatient, and self-centered. Is that normal and what can I do as an older sister (I'm 17), or do I do anything?

He is also homeschooled but he does Judo and swimming, so I guess he is a little socialized. (link)
All boys are different and I don't think you can do anything about it. When he gets a little older he might start having some interest in girls.


How can I get my brother to not pee on the toilet seat or at least put the toilet seat up and wash his hands? He is 12 almost 13. I've tried talking to him but he denies it. (link)
Talk to your parents about it. That is disgusting and no one wants that. He needs to have manners and respect others when they need to use the bathroom they don't want to see that on the toilet seat.


i really REALLY like this boyy. but hes a major flirt. i dont really have a problem with it tho. my question is, is there somehthing i can do to make him fall for ME ? thankss (: (link)
Ok first thing you can't make a guy like you. I wish you could but it doesn't work that way.

1. Be yourself. You don't want a guy to like someone you really aren't.

2. Talk to him. If you haven't already I suggest you should. But first get noticed but don't make a big scene. If he doesn't know you, introduce yourself. And say hi to him. The first step is friendship.

3. Look nice. No guy doesn't want a girl who doesn't take care of herself. Dress what makes you feel good and what makes you look good. Just don't try to hard. You know what I mean. Not super tight shirts and stuff like that. Just wear stuff that makes you feel and look nice.

I hope everything works out for you.


lately, me and my girlfriend have hit a sort of wall in the social part of our relationship. it seems like every time im around her, i dont know what to say. we have been dating for 9 months, today, actually, and it seemed like in the beginning of our relationship i was much more spontainious. what are some ways i could get better at that and bring out relationship back to life? thanks. (link)
Communication is the key to a relationship. If you guys don't talk then how is it gonna go? There is tons of things to talk about. Just plan ahead and think of some topics. You can tell her she looks nice today, trust me all girls love that. Talk about something funny that happened earlier today and when she says something try to keep the conversation going. So I hope this helped and I hope everything works out for you.


Let's See Here.

Well, i've liked this boy for a [LONG] time;
And when i say long time i mean about two year's
on and off! Anyway's My friend's knew i liked him
be he never knew; Well I stoped chilling with him
last year.. THEN THIS YEAR ROLLS AROUND And we started hangout out again; like everyday & weekend's too; & i started to like him AGAIN
[goooo me] & THIS TIME I LET [everyone] KNOW
I LIKED HIM! so we would flirt here and there
but this girl he like's COME IN THE PICTURE when
things are going GREAT! like he'd be right in
front of me flriting with her knowing i like him
then when she would leave he'd flirt with me [WTF]
i was confused.. days go by & she says i wanna be
with you.. & now there together. it's been about three week's now & i havent talked to him since
it's driving me crazy she wont let him have GIRLfriends BLAH! only her friends. i dont know
i know hes happy so i wont try and mess things up
anyways to day thay broke upp.. HA for an hour
she say i wanna be "FRIENDS" then says im so happy with you -BLAHHHHHH! what should i do?
he's the only guy i think about; & the only
guy i wanna be with

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE!
a n y t h i n g will help me at this point. (link)
Just give him some time. Be there for him and he obviously likes her. Sometimes guys don't know what they want. Show him that you are a great friend and maybe he will come around. And if things don't work out then you should start making friends with other boys. Trust me you can make some guy friends and you might fall for one of them. So I hope everything works out for you.


Well, me and my friends babysit, and the kis is the wrost you could possibly ask for. If he is not in the room and you cjange the channel he comes in and thorws the biggest fit, and if you don't give him wah the wants he has a temper tantrum. How do we stop him from being so untamed??? (link)
I agree with the person below. You should take away the things he wants when he does bad. But punishing him won't be a bad thing either. Kids need discipline. He you have been trying this, I suggest you talk to his parents about his temper tantrum. I hope everything works out for you.


ok so its like this, i like alot of guys. but none of them are really the same. well i have a boyfriend and he seems cool but now this other guy said to me that he was next in line to go out with me. and it makes me wonder if guys really thinks that i go by a line up. it makes me feel as though guys think that i just use then when really i just dont know what i want in a guy.
i am someone who likes alot of different things. and sometimes i like to think about stuff. I love to talk but other times i wish people would just leave me alone. i love to read but i love to just go to the mall and be free of whatever i was thinking about. i play soccer but i am also in tech. club. so as you can see it is hard for me to find a guy that is more than just 10% like me. And then i went out with a guy and when i broke up with him it broke my heart because he said i brake his. it just mkaes me feel bad to brake up with guys but if i have to i have to. (link)
It would be hard but think about the things you would want in a guy. Like how you want him to treat you. And if you are into shy guys or bad boys. Stuff like that. None of the guys that you are gonna like are all the same. And of course none of them are gonna be just like you. So just think about it and just don't go out with a guy that asks you out. You should see what you like in guys, if they are funny, sweet and all that stuff. But you probably aren't going to find a guy that fits your needs but you might find someone close. By the way you can be open to other boys too. I hope everything works out for you.


ok so i have a boyfriend and my brother has this friend. and even tho we are like always fighting and stuff(me and his friend) i sometimes catch him looking at me. Well im starting to think that he may like me and i think i may like him. and hes 1 year older than me. so what do i do? (link)
I agree with the person below me. You shouldn't be thinking about your brothers friend when you have a boyfriend. Like if you and your boyfriend are break up then that would be much better. But think about it, who do you really like? Your boyfriend or your brothers friend? And also you can't be sure the boy likes you. I mean all boys are different and sometimes they make you think that they like you but sometimes its not that way. So I think you should think about this before taking a step forward. I hope everything works out for you.


I got my period for the first time back in November.
(i'm 14/f, by the way, 15 in a little over 4 weeks) Anyways, my mom doesn't know yet. I don't know how to tell her, because i'm too embarrassed! She said she's thinking about taking me to the doctor if i don't get it (or tell her about it) soon.

Any tips on how to tell her? Thanks soo much!!!!!!! (link)
I know its really embarrassing to tell her but you should sit her down and tell it to her straight. Its always embarrassing but every girl goes through it. She might say something that is embarrassing but its how it all works. Wish you luck!


Welll there is these two boys in school that I like and i dont talk to one of them but the other one always talks to me sometimes i think he likes me but im not sure..But I dont know which one is better for me?? Also Im trying to become friends with the boy that i dont talk 2 him becuase im scared to he seems intimidating to me but ma friends tell me that he so sweet??? (link)
Well this is all your choice. I don't know either of the boys so you need to think who is right for you. You should just think about it. Think about who is really right for you and who you really like. You can also keep talking to the boy that doesn't really talk to you and try to become friends and see how you really feel about both of them. So I hope everything works out for you.


ok....i finally broke up with that guy that i was really unhappy with, but now i feel really extremely lonely. right now i don't know what to do about feeling lonely. i go out with friends and i am trying to enjoy the single life, but i'm not. i just want someone new to come around already but it seems like it won't ever happen. (link)
Everybody feels lonely after they have broken up. Try and forget about him. And think about it, you finally broke up with this guy that you were unhappy with. Keep going out with friends and keep yourself doing things, it will soon blow off. And if you are waiting for someone else to come around, it probably won't happen. You need to get yourself out there and join new things and meet new people, you might end up liking one of them! But right now keep on trying to enjoy your single life! I hope everything works out for you!


f/13

Okay, well there's this guy who sits next to me in my science class. I think i'm starting to like him...a lot. and because i sit next to him in science there is always that little small talk and i don't really know how i can make something more out of the small talk. The problem is im really shy so i probably wouldnt be willing to do anything drastic. so what should i do to get him to notiice me a little more? (link)
I have had the same problem. I am shy so you can just lead it into a conversation. If its little things he probably won't mind talking to you at all. If you see him at all during the day you can walk by and say hi. There are tons of things to talk about, the weather may be used a lot but it is still a classic. You can ask him if there is any homework in a certain class or something, unless he doesn't have any other classes with you besides science. But I hope everything works out for you!


18/f & 20/m

About 3 weeks ago, I met this great guy will call him Bob. Bob has an amazing personality, and showed that he cared about me and really liked me. The first time we talked on the phone was for 6 hours straight. Then the next day we hung out for 6 hours. He tried to kiss me, but I told him that I wasn't ready just yet. Two days later we hung out again, for about the same time. We would talk about getting in a relationship and taking things slow, ect. We did kiss, which is a very big deal for me. Everything was perfect, then days went by and we didn't get to see eachother cause his car broke down. So this past weekend, he told me he could get his parents car and come over and hangout. Friday while he was working, I cleaned the house ALL day and got ready just in case. Then he texted me saying "I cant get the car till tomorrow cause my parents aren't leaving till tomorrow morning" I told him it was fine. He told "tomorrow for sure!". So I told him to call me later. And he said he would. So time went by and I ended up falling asleep. I woke up around 2:30 and checked my phone. No phone calls/text. I was getting worried something happend. So I left him a text saying "text me when you get up". I eventually went back to bed. Around noon, I texted him again and Im like "Im not sure what happened, but please call/text cause Im worried about you". So then 45 minutes later he text me. I was cleaning the house and getting ready again. Around 2ish, he called me. Telling me he was bored. He went to take a nap and I told him to call me when he got up. Hours went by, and no call. So I called him and left him a text. Still no reply. I did something annoying and kept calling and texting him throughout the night. No reply. Then I went to his myspace. I saw a girl leave him a comment, saying "babe last night was great can't wait to do it all over again tonight & ill probably text you". I started crying imediately. I went to my mom and she's like dont worry about it, Nothing probably happend. So later he goes on myspace for like a minute and deletes the comment. I cried myself to sleep which hasn't happend in a very long time. I sent him a message on myspace saying I was sorry if I was annoying him and then I knew he lied about the weekend. That I was more upset he lied to me. It got worse, she left another comment of a picture of him cuddling with him. Saying that he was a great cuddler. He read the message, and still no reply. He deleted her comment too. I really have no idea what to do. Cause he made a huge mistake and Im willing to forgive and try to work things out. Believe me, this girl is not his type at all. Maybe nothing more happend between them but I know he feels bad for what he did... Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. (link)
Well do you know for a fact he did do something with that girl? You should talk to him. If he did do something with that girl, then what makes you think he won't do it again? You need prove you his trust if he wants you. You mainly need to talk to him and see what is going on, you need to find out everything he did and if he even did anything. If he did you may want to think twice about staying with this guy. He might be a player, but I don't know him so I don't know what he is like. I hope everything works out for you.


so i danced with this guy at a dance and before that we hadnt really talked too much. he was reallly nice and funny and extremely charming and now i can't stop thinking about him, but he is two years older than me and off and on with this girl. i am going nuts because he is so appealing and now i think about him 24/7. i know thats not much of an age difference, but at my school it is. part of me knows i cant have him, but i still want him

help!!! (link)
I think you should try and forget about him. I have been there, you meet a really sweet guy and he is so close to perfect and you want him so bad. 2 years isn't a BIG difference but either way he is with another girl so I think you should talk to other guys and try to get to know them, you never know you may fall for one of them!


Oka well this is my probblem.My friends and i well we are kinda falling apart, like we dont talk to eachother that much like we use to.And also we havent spend that much times with eachother it just seems like we falling apart.It all started when school started back and we been busy latly with other things and what makes it worst is that we all dont live close to eactother so that makes it hard to just go to each other houses.I just want to know what should i do.How can be become closer like we were before.I really need your help on this! (link)
You should ask them for phone numbers and stuff. Then maybe you can get addresses and ask your parents for a ride over there. School takes up a lot of time and get make you focus on other things besides friends. So just keep trying to be social with them. Talk to them a lot. Ask them for their numbers and tell them about it. If you guys are falling apart, watching it isn't what we wanna do. So try and fix it. So I hope everything works out. If you have anymore questions feel free to leave one in my inbox!
