Long story short, things have gone sour with a guy over the past year or so. I want to get him back, although it was a majority of his fault that we are this way today.
The reason I want to get back with him is because I don't/can't seem to like anyone else as much as I liked him. I've been with other guys since him, but I stopped it (for the guy's sake and my own) because I really wasn't into it.

I know that there is still something there. I can see it in his eyes. A question, that he wants to ask me. No, I'm not hallucinating, I can tell. The way he immediately looks to the floor whenever I pass him, or when he thinks I'm not looking, he looks back at me.

What...can I do? I'm pretty sure he's still into me, deep inside. He's available. And no longer are there the obstacles that kept us apart last year.

I don't have any classes with him, though.

Should I start by trying to give him a simple smile?

This is my advice to you. Try to get over him. Look for other guys and try to find one that you like a lot and makes you forget about your old boyfriend. There are tons of guys in the world at least one can accomplish this. Just look hard. Or if that doesn't work try to patch things up and start fresh. He might still have feelings for you and the only way to find out is to ask. Remember time heals all wounds.


ok-i have a major problem... i like this guy, but i think he likes my friend!!! my friend thinks that ge is weird- but w/e- sarcasim solves all her probs... so anywayz... how should i figure out if he likes me? should i ask a friend of his or what?
thanks- hottguy trubbles.... (link)
No I would suggest not asking his friend because chances are he will tell him and then you are screwed. Try flirting with him. Look for signs that will tell you if he likes you. Keep eye contact and watch for his. Pay close attention to body language as it is most important. Good luck with this one.


Ok well this one kid that i like, and he likes me asked me to the movies ( to go last weekend).

1. We don't talk to much b/c i'm a freshmen and hes a junior so we dont' see eachother to much. And we only talk on aol and hes only on aol like once a week.

well he asked me to the movies (last week) and that never happened b/c we never talked to make plans after that.

WEll then i talked to him Sunday and i was like we whould go to the movies this weekend ( b/c we didn't get to last weekend) and he was like yeah we should. And he was like hows friday? and i was like yeah thats good.
But then we kinda stopped talking about that.
So now is Wednesday night and he hasn't talked to me after that, therefore havn't made plans.
So tomorrow is that last day we could pretty much make plans.

It just pisses me off. he says that he really likes me and stuff, but never talks to me. He always tells my friend to say things to me but never just talks to ME.
URGH this sucks all makes me upset. and idk why
should i be freaking out over nothing? and what are some ways i could talk to him at school.
like things to say to him (b/c we've havn't talked in school)

(fyi...i went out with this guy last year, he broke up with me and everything ended pretty sucky, so having him likeing me again is relaly GREAT, but at the same time it sucks b/c he isn't talking to me in person, just on aol) (link)
Just get his phone number and talk to him on the phone. If he doesn't want to talk to you in person he's just being dumb and you shouldn't waste your time. Move on to other guys that like to talk to you.


14/f Tell me, is this flirting??-

We were sitting across the table from each other in science class. He calls my best friend over(his good friend too) and tells me he's going to steal her headband. When she comes over, I let her know, and she leaves. He kicks me under the table (not too hard, not like he was trying to hurt me) and says, Oh, sorry, is that your leg? and keeps on doing it. I kick back playfully, and he starts moaning that I hurt him, but smiling the whole time. It seemed pretty flirty to me, especially since we were kind of flirting the rest of the class.

Totally different, but this is about the same guy. Today, after all the fun yesterday, he barely is fun, but kept talking to me about his ex. Is he trying to make me jealous, or is he genuinely just not ready for me as more than a friend yet?

Sorry this is so long, thanks to all that answer! (link)
Yes, from what you just told me it seems like flirting. There is a good chance he is trying to make you jealous and try to pay attention to what he says. You can probably tell. Just be patient and eventually time will tell what's going to happen.


So I went to a dance as a date with this guy (we'll call him Bob) a few months back. I said I liked him and he said he liked me but he liked another girl more. I was pissed but I'm over it now and don't like him anymore. But when I needed a date to my junior prom I asked him. It's in a few weeks and I really need to talk to him about things. But his junior prom was this weekend and he went with another girl, and I'm kind of worried he might have liked her--my feelings for him are coming back. We haven't hung out since January...so...

Should I ask him to hang out with a bunch of friends to catch up or what? I really need to talk to him about prom but he rarely picks up his cell and it's so annoying talking on AIM or text...you can't get your point across right. Thanks. (link)
No, do not go back to him or ask him out or anything. This dude obviously played with your feelings and if you go back to him he will think you are in love with him or something. Try your best to move on there are plenty of other guys in the world and in your case the school. Get over him it will take time but eventually it will happen.


Ok so tomorow is my boyfriends birthday. And he wants to hang out. So I really want to do something nice for him like go somewhere nice for our date nothing so expensive. What can we do or where can we go. If it helps I'm 15 f. So nothing of going over to my house and cooking for him, haha. Please help me. Thanks! (link)
Take him to see a movie or to his favorite restaurant. The thing about path to guy's heart is his stomach is true.


ok so theres this asshole that i talked about in one of my previous questions. well after finding out he played me and my friend we both want revenge. we dont want to hurt him physically or anything but he needs to be put in place. anyone have any good ideas? (link)
Just wait for karma to come back around and strike him seven times harder. If you do something karma can't.


Ok There is this guy and i have liked him for a while.. Well i wont go out with him because part of me doesnt want to.. But i just told him we can be friends with benefits..i totally regret saying that and i need your opinion!!!! (link)
It's not that big of a deal. Trust me he probably thought it was funny and liked it. Try not to worry about it and if you really do regret it tell it to him.


it seems latly the only thing that anyone wants to do is either hook up or have sex. what happened to guys genuinly wanting to take girls out and being gentleman. is it me? im just tired of getting these guys who are just interested in getting in my pants. whatever. i just want to know if there are any guys out there who are still gentleman (link)
Even though it doesn't seem like it there are still plenty of gentleman left in the world. There was just an article in GQ magazine recently about gentlemen and how even though it's a dying breed there are still some left. I personally believe in taking girls out to have fun and just having a person to spend time with. Being courteous and and polite are still ideals me and other guys strive for. These type of men are still in the world you just have to look around. Hope I answered your question.


My name's Hannah and there's this guy named Jason who apparently is going to ask me out after spring break, it would be my first relationship (15 f hes 17 m) if I said yes to him, but I'm not sure if I like him or not or if I am just anxious to finally having my first bf. So I want your guys opinion whether I should say yes or no. My friend is trying to convince me to say yes, but I'm not sure if I want to or not. He's alright looking to me I guess... but I'm kind of into the spontaneous type and I'm not sure if he fits it.

Don't be in a big hurry to get a boyfriend. Relationships in high school regardless to what people say are not that important. In this case do what your heart tells you or probably more important your brain.


heres the deal:
(keep in mind, this guy is my best guy friend)

sept: i like boy
nov: boy likes me
dec: i (unaware of him liking me) stop liking boy
jan: boy tells me he likes me. me=AHH.
feb: boy says he likes someone else. his friend says he still likes me
mar: i tell him i like someone else. when he hears this, he says he likes someone else too but won't tell me who.
present: boy is flirty(naturally. this guy flirts with everyone) but he gets angry at me and we get into a lot of fights over nothing

so does he like me or not because i'm not getting any clear signs here? (link)
Basically from the given information it's kind of hard to tell. Since he liked you before chances are some of the feelings are still there. Telling him how you feel is probably your best bet. I know it puts your heart on the line but that's life. Good luck and remember have fun with it.


Okay so basically i can't decide which girl i really do like. I mean its like one has the best personality ever and we get along and everything, but i've liked the other girl for about 1 year now and we always talk and im one of her good friends that she can really talk to but i mean she dosen't have as good of a personality as the other. so will someone please help me. thx in advance. (link)
Based on what you told me it seems you have two choice candidates to chase after. Who you'll pick is completely up to you but use the other as a backup plan in case the first one falls through. Every good player has a backup plan, remember that and good luck.


get a boy to call you or something without sounding desperate (link)
You can ask him to trade numbers or wait for him to approach you first. I suggest you initiate it though because you don't know if he will do it or not. Just ask him casually like it's no big deal for his number. Good luck.


ok so i'm 15m
theres this girl in one of my classes that i like. i wana ask her out but i just dont now if she likes me or not. she does things that i dont now if they mean she likes me. like she puts her foot like a mila meter over my foot and nudges it sometimes, or she flirts w/ me, or she's always tryin to grab my hand to draw stuf on it or like if i try to take somethin from her bag as a joke she grabs my arm and holds it for like 30 seconds before lettin go. but she also tells her firends that she doesnt like any1. so does she like me and whats a good way to find out if she likes me or not (link)
Sounds to me like this girl does like you. The reason she told her friends that she doesn't like anyone is because she doesn't want anyone to know or does not want a relationship. Even if this is true you can still hang out with her and be cool. Try asking her out though when you think the time is right and maybe you will go out. I don't want to put you on the chopping block but the only way to know is to try and find out. Good luck with this one and if she doesn't like you there are tons of girls still in the world that will.


Ok, so I'm in a wierd situation. I havn't really dated a lot in high school and most of the boys in my class I'm just friends with. The other day I met this guy and I want to get to know him better, but he goes to a different school, and I'm not sure if he'd ever be interested in me. How should I approach this situation? (link)
Basically you would approach this the same way as any. Chances are you will see him again and if you do talk to him and mention you would like to hang out sometime. Make sure to get him number because you don't see him regularly. Because he goes to another school this works for and against you. Since you don't see each other that often he will be happier to see you when he does. It's bad though because you don't get to communicate as often because of school. Just play it by ear and have fun.


I am a 17 y/o male. My "love" is not talking to me because she wants someone taller and heavier than herself. I am 5'10", 130 lbs, and she is 5'9", 130 lbs. She feels that i must be heavier, not just the same weight. Since my weight is distributed throughout muscle, she is insecure. I have trouble gaining weight, so what should i do? (link)
From what I have read you are in pretty good shape so far. After all you are already an inch taller so that's one thing down. About weight that's the tricky one. Some people gain weight harder than others because their metabolism is so fast in burns off everything on contact. What you have to do is eat more than the body can burn off. Remember 3500 extra calories equals one pound. Try to eat lots of grains like bread and don't forget the protein. Working out with free weights also helps a lot. Try to aim for 1 to 2 pounds increases every week. Anything more would be unhealthy. Drink plenty of water too muscle is mostly water.


Well lets just say I have had a HUGE crush on this shy kid for like a year. My best friend always talked to him for me and constantly tried to set something up between us, without coming out and directly telling him the I liked him. Well recently, he came out and said that he like my best friend (only 1 of the 3 girls he has admitted to liking all 3 years of high school.) and asked her out. Now when my friend told me I was obviously hurt, but not as hurt as when I found out she was actually considering it. Mind you, this is MY BEST FRIEND EVER, and everyone in the school knows this. Well she talked to to me about it, and obviously being a good friend, I insisted she try him out. I didn't think she was actually going to do it, but now she is. I honestly don't know how to feel about the situation. Do I have a right to be upset? Should I be upset? I was like in love with this kid, and it just going to be so akward now that this happened. I just don't know what to do or feel. (link)
Of course you have the right to be upset. Basically you see this as a betrayal and most people would. The trick is not to let it get to you and you absolutely cannot show it. Use this opportunity to date other guys and let your friend have her fun. They will have to break up eventually and when they do you will be waiting. That is if you still want him. Again you cannot show that this is you're plan or the guy will think you are in love with him and he won't be as interested. Also don't let a guy ruin you and your friends friendship. No relationship is ever worth that.


Im 17/F and ive never really had a relationship. Ive hung out with alot of guys and talked with alot of guys but never wanted to have a real relationship with any of them. All my friends have bfs and makes me feel like im abnormal that i dont want a bf..i just want to have fun. Am i weird? (link)
No not at all. If your in high school you do not need to have a boyfriend. Just have fun while you can. Chances are later in your life you won't even remember the relationships you had with boys in high school or even want to. High school is all about fun and you do not need to be locked down with a boyfriend. Do what you want to do.


But my bff has this crush on a boy and i met him today. and oh my gosh he's so cute and funny and a type of guy i would like and he just seems like a guy for me. but she really likes him. and i know i'm not stupid i'm not going to tke him or be like hey bff i like him now too and ruin our friendship cause that just messed. but idk what to do to stop myself from liking him and right now i just want a guy so bad. i know thats so stupid but right now i don't have crush to crush on i have nothing no one and idk what to do. i don't wanna like him but i think i'm starting to and i can't help and i don't know what to do to stop liking and i just don't wanna stop talking to him. so do i just let myself like him and try to control the flirting and not tell my bff? or what? (link)
First of all let your bff have first dibs. Relationships especially at your age only last a short time but good friends last forever. If they go out chances are you'll see some qualities in him you may not like and realize you don't like him after all. When they break up and if you still like him wait for your bff to get a new boyfriend then you can try that one.


i seem to only attract people who end up using me. the worst part is, i just want them to like me, so i let them. and i end up feeling really shitty. what can i do to tell these people to stop? (link)
Try to find friends that like you for who you are. Trust me you will know. A good way to find friends is to join a club or sports team. This will put you around other people like you and you will develop relationships with them.
