Q: Do guys mind if girls ask them out? Usually, it is the guy who asks the girl so I'm just wondering if it is okay for "her" to ask "him".
You like what you see go for it. UNLESS you are the really classy type, or oldfashioned who only will go with someone if the guy asks her. so if you like a guy ask him, take the risk, and if he don't except go for the next guy. have fun.

Q: i like this guy a lot, problem is i almost never see him and now that he doesn't have a girlfriend i feel like its my chance to tell him i like him. i don't know how to tell him or what to do! we are good friends but through family so i don't have his phone #, he has aim but never goes on, and the next time i'll see him is when school starts. i'm 15 and he's 16 if that helps anyone! Thanks!
look around, get the phonebook and look up his parents name and get the # and call, or if you have mutual friends ask them for his #. and when you do get to talk to him ask to hang out, and it should turn into an everyday thing or at least a few times a week if he is intrested, and has the time, he may be really busy, but just take it one step at a time. if you can't get a hold of him, talk to his ma or dad and se how he is if you are family friends it should be no problem to talk to them. good luck.

Q: i went on vacation this summer and while i was there i saw this REALLY hot guy there. he skimboards and surfs. everytime he came and left the beach we made eye contact. he was always with his friends. and i think he liked me and he told his friends, because he would look at me and then one of his friends would look too. i really wished that he would talk to me or do something (even wave). what should i have done? is there anything i could have done to make him come over and say hi to me? i'm a shy girl and i wouldn't be able to go up to him myself.

thanks!
you can't go up to him by yourself and talk to him? fine, take a friend. use the old frizbe trick, play frizbe with a girlfriend and let her spin it in his direction, say hi if you make eye contact, and then well plan this all out first with your friend so she knows her part, when you make eye contact with this REALLY hot guy have her come next to you and talk to him and then let her introduce the both of you and just start talking. it should go pretty smooth and you should end up with either a friendship or more. good luck

Q: O.k. now I always give good boy advice but this has never happened to me or anyone else I know. Ok here's the situation:My boyfriend hasn't called me in 4 days! Thats not normal 4 him he usually calls almost everyday if its only a 4 minute talk or 4 hours. I mean there are plenty of situations to where he can't call like for some example's: His grandmother won't let him use his cell(their hous phone is disconnected),he's punished, or he's working with his uncle. but he doesn't work 24/7 so he could of called. What do ya'll think of this. Is he gonna break up with me or what? I mean its ok if he wants to break up with me but everyone knows (even his own mother and my mother!!) that he loves and adores me. The last time I talked to him he didn't act like anything was wrong everything was perfectly ok and I can tell when somethings wrong with him or anyone by attitude, tone of voice, and stuff like that. So anyone got any tips on what I should do and what he's trying to tell me, (if anything, cuz no matter what he usually tells me straight up no matter how bad), or why he's ignoring me!> Just anything please help me!! I'll rate high for good answers.
ok STOP WORRING! you even said yourself that both mother's know that he loves/adores you, you also know this. he is not telling you anything, so stop tryen to fugure it out, he is not tryen to ignore you, he is simply busy, or like you said with his grandmother won't let him use his cell. if he adores/loves you like you say he does not want to break-up with you, he may be out of town for a family emergency or some of his guy friends have been over and he has no time to call you because he is so busy with them. believe me on this, ok? i have been where you are, and i made a big mistake and it was only 3 days. don't assume the same thing i did which is waht you are doing. just let it slide, try calling him if he don't pick up just let it slide. talk to his ma if you can and try to get some info on what is going on. if you love him enough you won't assume before you have proof. trust me on this ok?

Q: Ok Im 13/f i havnt had a boyfriend since before school let out ! And this summmer i was hoping to find a summer love . But so far it hasnt happenend = ( . I Like some boys but they dont like me back. Also i want a boyfried sooo bad but not to the point i would just go out with anybody ! Please help me . So my question is ... Is there anyway i could kinda make them like me or anyways to be flirtashish ( i spelled that wrong) ?
Sorry Its Semi Long
You don't need a guy to make you happy, you don't need a boyfriend. what you need to do is get out with some friends and have fun, get a hobby. why would you want a boyfriend so bad? summer love are only summer crushes, and by the time summer ends and school starts again, everything will change. to make a guy like you, is to be yourself when the time is right a guy will show up. here is a tip, and it really works. if you can just be happy to be u, and have fun, get out and do something with your friends, i assure you that a guy will find you, when you least expect it. but untill then just have fun, and stop worrying about getting a guy, they are not everything in the world. believe me i used to be u, and now i have a guy, because i was myself, did not try to change anything about me, and did my own thing. you do this and youll get a guy. hope this helps.

Q: i'm 17 and i've been wondering something confusing about girls.For instance take these two scenarios:

1)I went to a camp and this gal was looking and smiling at me alot and i did the same too, then later i saw her profile on the internet and messaged her,but she didint' reply back.So has she forgotten me?is she playing hard to get?she doesn't want to look desperate?she doesn't want to look to obvious?

2)Second scenario, I see this gal regularly when I pick my sis up for dance lessons,she keeps on looking at me and I know it, but after a while she stops looking at me and acts as if I;m not there?
Is it because she doesn't want to be too obvious?playing hard to get?forgotten about me?or lost feelings for me?

thanks for reading and I hope you can answer my question.
they are shy, they do hide feelings, and could be playing hard to get. you are not confused, you know what they are doing you just have to think of a way to get around their actions. with the girl who did not message you back, she was probaly supprised that you even messaged her, and she didn't know what to do. she does like you tho. the girl at the dance thing when you go pick up ur sis tryen to play hard to get. so if u want these girls go for em. so good luck, and don't worry so much i am sure you are a great guy and you can get alot of girls if you just follow your gut. :)

Q: So there is this guy I really like. And the last guy I went out with really liked my chest. He apparently would describe me to people as "brown hair, brown eyes, tall, huge boobs." And so I hated that!
So we brok up. Duh. =]
But so this new guy is so nice! But so was the guy before. And kind and sweet and funny. All the same as the previous "nice chest" guy.
So today, I wore a really revealing shirt.... just to see what he would do. And he talked to me for like 30 minutes *we usually talk like 10 minutes every day, sometimes less* and he kept looking at me from across the room.
Does this mean that he likes me?! Or likes my boobs? Weird question, I know.
Thanks!
well your boobs are you. so he likes you. it's just a physical feature about you that attracts him to you. i am sure he loves your personality, but if this is a teen guy then he is really letting his hormones getting the best of him. so if you are big chested guys are going to be looken if you want them to or not. i am big chested, and it's just something you have to deal with. they as meaning the guys thinks your chest is great so i think it's time you start thinking the same thing. love yourself for you. with these guys you just have to get used to it, they are going to be looken no matter what, it's just your decision if you want to reveal more skin or keep it all locked up in a t-shirt. hope this helps.

Q: well, my girlfriend is not very romantic, i am and i try to be but i can never get her to be romantic what i can do..please help
the only thing you can do compermise. ask her what she likes, tell her what you like and meet half way. do things for her, that are romantic she may have come from a family that does not know how to be romantic, and you need to show her how. and then she should catch on. give a little and get a little, is the best thing. talking and communication are the best things in a relationship and right now that's the thing you both need to work on if you want this relationship to work.

Q: This weekend, I'm visiting my girlfriend for the weekend. Unfortunately, on Saturday she has been invited to her ex's 21st birthday party. She says that he and his family are still good family friends, although she never hangs out with them or talks to them. So she is going and is dragging me to the party. I have expressed the fact that I feel uncomfortable about this, but she has taken a "Tough Shit" attitude towards my feelings. Is it irrational for me not to want to go and is there any way out of this? Help!
it seems to me that she is using you to her advantage of ex boyfriend. tell her that you don't want to go, and make other plans. she is not caring about your feelings at all on this matter, and that's just wrong. she needs to understand why you don't want to go, and tell her why you feel uncomfortable. i ask to you how they still be family friends if they never talk or hang out? it's a little supisous to me. like i said the best you can do is make other plans, tell her why you feel uncomfterbal, and if she don't understand or gives you that "tough shit" attitude, i don't think this relationship is worth hangging on too. hope this helps.

Q: i let my bf down by not going to see him i didn't mean to but it took me awhile to get to the first place i was going...well now he's actin funny when i talk to him and he hasn't called me i have to call him. I'm really sorry but i keep doing dumb s**t and sayin sorry and i think the word is a little overused. Please help me i really don't know how to handle this i think it's going too far. (just to say i'm 14/f and have know him since 4th grade,i'm going to 9th)
yes, the word sorry is overused. a relationship is a 50 50 not 50 to nothing. he is not doing his part on the relationship, and making you feel like the bad guy. it's just not right. talk to him tell him you have noticed him acting diffrent, and that he should call you sometimes, because you have noticed that you are doing all the calling. or just say i have noticed you are acting diffrent and i would like to know why. and don't call him at all, let him call you. he has your number, he has fingers to dial the number. let him call you. if he don't change his attitude, or change his ways of not ever calling i would say go find a guy that will give his time to you. you can do so much better than this guy. but don't do anything unless you make sure you don't call him wait 2 weeks or a month see if there are any changes. good luck and hope this helps.

Q: So there's this guy i like and he is my neighbor. i am 13/f and he is 14/m. i am best friends with his little sister and she says he really likes me and want to ask me out. he TOLD me he liked me after he broke up with my best friend Sarah* and i told him that i liked him too but we could go out bc it might hurt sarahs feelings. its not about the likeing part i KNOW he does, he always flirts and comes over and stuff so thats not a problem. SO.... all my friends met him when he and sarah were going out and they all think he is a stalker frieak and i HAVE to agree with them bc i CANNOT let anyone know i like him scretly... please help! what should i do???
Go with your heart, talk to your friend first though i don't think she would have a problem with you going with him because well she does not like him if everyone is calling him a stalker freak, but if you like him go for it. you see something in him that they don't, they will just have to accept your decision. but make sure you talk to your friend first.

Q: Could I please get some good suggestions on what to do to get over someone? I just want to move on, but I can't seem to. Any ideas? Thanks so much. ps: i'm 22 and female :)
Get out and have fun, do things that you love to do, get a new hobby, or get back into one. guys are not the world, you don't need a guy to make you happy. just have fun, and get out in the world put on that charm that the guys love so much- flirt. and just go with the flow you will forget all about the hearteche and the guy. promise.

Q: Okay so i like this guy but im not sure if he likes me. Hes one of my cousins good friends. He says alot of nice stuff to me like that i have really pretty eyes and that im pretty. On the last day of school it was me him and my cousin [we all walk home] and he acts so different when ben [ my cousin] is around. He`ll be mean to me and like mostly joking around though. He`ll belike you know what DYKE, go play in traffic. And hes like gosh go away. But as soon asmy cousin leave hes all nice and is like yeah your really cool and stuff like that. Its hard to tell if he likes me because he just acts different. And he calls me allot and i call him because were good friends. Most of the time we talk on the phone for like 2 hours. Our max. is 4. I just need advice on in your opinion he likes me at all?
YES, YES, YES he does like you. the reason he is acting diffrent when you cousin is around is because he does not want to seem soft. guys have their own thing going on inside their heads. they think that they have to act a certian way, like all high and mighty. when they really don't and appartntly he shows that he trusts you by talking to you for 2 to 4 hours. he does like you. he is putting up a wall for your cousin so he does not see that this guy likes you. i would make a move, when your cousin is not around, hold his hand or something. if he pulls away he may not be ready to let his secret out just yet, if he is ok with it. you have your answer, with him acting diffrently u will have to get used to that if this guy is a teen. guys in their teens are just like that. but he will grow out of it, expecially if you go out with him he will change more than likely.

Q: I just met a guy through his mom who is actually a pretty good friend of mine, we've hung out twice and both times we seemed to get along great. But He says he is going to stop by or call me when he gets home and never does. my mom says it's because he's shy and really wants to hang out but cant get the nerve to do it, I just think he is trying to avoid me PLEASE someone give me their opinion.
He is not avoiding you, if you both had fun when you hung out those times then he likes you. with his ma i am pretty sure she is telling the truth. i say go to his house and hang out, supprise him. talk to his ma about just hangging out with him and i am sure she will like the idea too, expecially if she knows this guy is shy. so have fun, be yourself, and flirt is the best thing to see if he likes you, and if he does not understand your flirting ask him stright out does he like you? or tell him that you like him
hope this helps.

why would you want to be with a guy who gets drunk all the time? this guy is not worth your time, move on to a diffrent guy, please. you can do so much better.

Q: ok so i like my friend named jake and like he knows it and stuff and like i went out with this guy and tried to make him jelous and yeah well like this summer he hasnt been like talking to me or anything like we just got off the phone and we were on for 45 min but he was just talking to me about his summer and stuff and making me all jelious cause he was like o chelsea(chelsea is jakes little sisters friend) asked me out and i didnt wanna be rood so i said yeah and (stuff so i started to cry but he didnt no and stuff soo the whole time he was just talking and stuff i was pissed off and hes supposed to come sleep over on friday and like yeah i dunno wut to say and o yeah hes like call me later cause im getting tired so i was like ok and hes like call me later or in like a couple of day so i just hung up on him and said wut ever in the middle of the school year he asked me out and i ddint feel it at the time so i said no and then like now he says yes to everyone cause he doesnt want to make them feel bad so yeah and i have asked him out seveal times and he said that he only thinks of me as a friend so yeah and yeah so my 4 questions are 1.like is he doing this like making me jelious and stuff maybe cuz he likes me? 2. wut do you think i should do to try and get him to like me? 3. what so i do on friday like flirt and stuff or ignore him and make him mad by flirting right him frount of him?
4. do i confrount him about the saying yes to everyone but me and stuff like wut do i do to make him not feel this way?!! HELP!!
1. yes about making you jealous, i strongly think he likes you, still. but i also think he is a jerk, when a guy or even a girl says yes to everyone who ask them out, it is a sign of being a coward. he needs to take responsibilty for when being asked out, he needs to simply tell them he is not intrested if he is not. and by the sounds of things he is not intrested in anyone but you.

2. DON'T DO ANYTHING! be yourself, he liked you before for being yourself, and apparently he still does. so the question you should be asking is should i make moves? or what can i do to get him to notice me? and the answers to those questions are talk to him, see how he feels i am sure this friend face he has on is just a mask to hide from you because in a way you did hurt him by saying no when you did. but that does not give him the right to say yes to every girl who asks him out. he is showing you that he is hurt and he is tryen to get back at you, for saying no.

3. if you do really like this guy and when he does come over FLIRT, and have fun, BE YOURSELF. it's the best thing to do in the world. be his "friend" and then make little moves. my fav move is tell him you want to talk to him and then when you get the chance to talk to him kiss him on the lips and see what he does tell him that you really like him and that he has been showing signs of him liking you too. . if he likes you he will kiss you back if he is still trying to play hard to get he will back away, and just talk. that's the best thing you could do.

4. after you tell him that you like him and that he has been showing signs of him liking you say i am better than all the girls that you have been with, i think we should go out. and see how he reacts. you could also put this into your own words to where you are more compterbal.

OR if you are not the type of girl to do this kiss thing, skip the kiss and do everything else, say i really like you i know you like me lets go out,i am better than all those other girls.
hope this helps, good luck

Q: My boyfriend cheated on me one week after we got together. Now I have taken him back (about 2 weeks after he cheated on me). All of my friends thinks it's a misstake but I believe in second chaces and I like this guy...All advicenators out there do you believe in the term- "once a cheater, always a cheater"??
Was it a big misstake to take him back, should I dump him for what he did to me?
In the term once a cheater always a cheater, i believe it and i don't. i am a big person on giving 2nd chances. but cheating is also a big mistake as well, and it should not have happend in the first place. so i would talk to him tell him that i like you, but i won't take you cheating on me. i don't deserve that. go with the 2nd chance but if he does it again, dump him right away. you don't derserve to be cheated on, no one does. you can find better guys out there that won't cheat, and will give you the respect, and noncheating love that you need. i don't know how long you have been together with this guy, but from your question i am guesing that you were not friends first, and you kinda rushed into the relationship. so talk to him don't yell stick up for yourself say i won't take you cheating on me, and don't do it again, or your giong to loose the best thing you have. or something like that put it into your own words where he will get the point. and if he does cheat walk stright out, and don't look back. he will then see that he lost a good thing and he will most likely want you back, and he will for you, and you don't have to chase him. by walking out it's saying i told you so, and you should have listined. so good luck, and hope that this guy knows what you are capble of. :)

Q: Whenever I'm not with my boyfriend I'm happy. And when I'm on my way to see him I think to my self "why didn't I cancel? Why am I going to see him. I don't want to see him!"
But when I do meet him and when I'm with him, I like it and I want to be with him. But then When I have to go I get happy for leaving him!
What's that all about?? Don't I like him? Is it somethig wrong with me??
ok something is obvisly missing in this relationship. you say that when you are with him you are happy, but also when you are away from him you are happy too. but when you go to see him on your way to him your saying you don't want to see him? did i get that correct? i think he needs to come and see you. if you are always going to see him that is a problem, if he never comes to see you. and subconcisly your mind is saying that it's not fair, if he wants to spend time with me he should come and see me. it should be a 50 50 thing not 100 to nothen. i think he needs to make some effort in the relationship, because from what i am getting your doing all the effort. call him up and tell him you would like him to come over and hang out, watch a movie or something. if you love spending time with him that's a good sign, and when you are not with him then you are happy too. so that is a healthy relationship. it's just the getting to him that is what is bothering you, as far as i can see. so i hope this helps and good luck. :)

Q: I have this friend shes a rly good friend to me. She HAD a boyfrined for a year and then she broke up with him. Well i was frineds with him and we still are and we talk on line and stuff. But i feel like im startin to develop a crush on him. i dont kno why he was supposed to stop by my house today to jus chill, and i have no idea what im supposed to do. I like him but icant do tht to my close friend. I need help. what do ido.

I was in this same sititation, what you need to do, is talk to your really good friend and tell her how you feel about her ex, see how she reacts, and ask if she is ok with it. if she is great, when he comes over make moves, talk to him, flirt, do what girls do best! lol, feel around the edges of this guy see if he likes you. if your friend is not ok with you going with her ex, you might want to chill with the guy and don't make any moves. because if you go behind her back then that will only cause problems between the friendship. so talk to her first, get her reaction, and by her reaction move or don't move on the guy. if she is not cool with you going with this guy wait a while and see like in a couple weeks or a month and talk to her again and see how she feels. if she has a problem with you going with her ex, either she is still hurt by the break-up, she is being selfish and not caring about your feelings, or the friendship is not so tight as you may think. but dont' ever let a friendship come inbetween a relationship with a guy. hope this helps.

Q: Hey! My boyfriend is really horny. I know, he is a guy but come on! He wants to have sex 24/7!! We haven't had sex yet. I want to but when ever he has tried to go for it there has been sort of a crowd there =/
1 st time he tried/wanted: on a buss!
2nd time he tried/wanted: outside of a metal consert up against a steel wall with peple just around the corner
3rd: on gravel right infront of a parking lot with at least 15 car wich had their light on. SPOTLIGHT!
4th: at a café!!!

Seriously, does that sound hot or just weird??
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm a virgin and I do want to sleep with him...just not in thoose places =/
What should I do?
This guy does seem pretty horny, so your not a virgin? and you do want to have sex with him just not in the places you described. did i get this right? ok, well then tell him what you told here. you want to have sex with him just not where he wants to have it. he sounds like a teen boy who has very intresting ideas. the reason for him wanting to have sex in these places are because of the exitment of getting caught, or just being watched. it excites him. but if you don't want to do it in the places he wants then you should tell him. but, if you are going to have a sexual life with this guy you must understand that both of your "desiers" come together. in other words you have to compermise. do kinda what he wants "in a public place" but not intirely public, talk to him and see if you can both decide what to do. the thing to a relationship is commincation. hope this helps.

Q: I have ben hurt many times by guys. Too many times! I always seem to fall for the wrong type, and I really mean the WRONG type! They all seem great at first but then the truth comes out. My ex-boyfriends have either been phycos, nymphos, mythomaniacs, cheaters or just plain assholes!! I have lost count on how many night I have fallen asleep crying! I thought I had given up on boyfriends and then my present boyfriend came along and seems really nice and all. Sure, he cheated on me once in the begining of out relationship but that's normal for me now, I guess that's just a thing that guys do so I have him a second chance.
So now we are together and I can't seem to be happy when I'm with him!! I'm just waiting for when he is going to hurt me and how he's going to do it!

When ever I try to picture our relationship in the furutre I see me crying over him because he hurt me really bad somehow....

I have seriously no romance in me anymore! My previous boyfriends have crushed that! They have made me into a depressing person. I used to me known as the "really happy and fun girl" but that was a looooong time ago!

I try, I really try to be happy with my present boyfriend, he is nice and all but I can't seem to get there. What is wrong with me?!?!
They have crushed my spitit, my soul and a few times my will to live :'(

please help!!
Ok, first of all, you may really like this guy that you are with now, but he cheeted on you. that is not a good sign to any realtionship. i understand that he is a nice guy but you are blaming yourself for somthing that is just not your fault. you don't need a guy to make you happy. EVER! you are your own person, and if you could stay away from the guys for awhile i think it would be the best thing for you. get out of the relationship you are in wiht this cheeting guy. he is not worth you precious time. you have been hurt so many times, because you let them walk all over you. with this guy, he is more than likely going to hurt you in the future, like when you try to think about it and that's all you see, that means your heart is telling you that this guy is just not right for you. you just have to get the courage to break it off. there are so many guys out there, that will treat you right, the won't hurt you- at least not intentanaly like cheeting. you need to find yourself first meaning that really happy and fun girl, and then when you do i assure that there will be guys all over you not literaly but there will be guys that will take their time of day and want to spend it with you. BUT, like i said you can't let them walk all over you. take this for example: the guy you have now, he cheeted, and you guys are still together, that is telling him that it's ok for he did, and that whatever he does you won't care, and he can get away with anything and you won't stick up for yourself, or for anyone else. and in a very strong he wants you to stick up for yourself. guys like girls who are indpendent, meaning that when they meaning you are not ok with something that a guy does you stick up for your rights, beliefs, thoughts. you talk to him, and you don't let it slide. because he will walk all over you i personaly think he don't care about you. and this cheeting this is probaly a long time past event, but me personaly i dont' put with any guy on cheeting on me, and you shouldn't either because there are guys out there so much better than the one you have now. so to sum this all up- 1ST dump this guy 2ND find your happy fun girl again and don't go out with anyone for awhile when you think that you found this special guy that you want to give your time too then go out with them BUT BECOME FRIENDS FIRST!! it's the best thing you can do, because you will both know eachother well enough that you won't have to worry about them hurting you or cheeting on you or anything, and you will still be happy and fun around this person and your spirt will not die, this person will make you stronger, because they support you and respect , and care about you. so good luck i know this will work.
