Question: "I like someone, but I don't know if they like me, how can I tell?"
Answer: Everybody is different, I have no way of knowing how your crush expresses him/herself. The best way is to just ask them, you'll never get anywhere if you don't.

I'm sorry to be rude, but these are the only questions I have been seeing in my inbox, and I am tired of them. I won't be answering them anymore.

i'm 16/f. i really like this guy who's a year older than me and i know he likes me too. we hang out at school some and after my soccer games. we've only been on one date - out to dinner after a game. he's not a christian, and i'm a very strong and dedicated christian. he's into partying. i'm not at all. he's already hinted about having sex, i'm for sure saving myself until marriage. i really like him, but is this too much of a risk for myself? i might be able to help him change for the better, but i might end up being brought down. i'm really not sure of what to do right now. any advice would be helpful. please give me some honest answers. thank you so much!

NEVER think that you can change someone. I'm sorry, but you can't. In order for someone to change, they're going to have to want to change, and you are not enough to make him want that.

I recommend not dating him. It's not because of the religious thing--interfaith couples work--but you both have different ideas of what you want in a relationship. He wants sex, you do not. If you enter a relationship with him now, he may expect that eventually you will have sex, even if you tell him right off the bat that you do not.

However, just because he hinted at it does not mean he expects it. If you talk it out beforehand and he decides that he'll respect your decision, go ahead and go out with him.

But if you think that this is too big a deal and constantly want to change him OR if it is clear that he expects sex, don't. Find someone who agrees more with your values.
