so they guy i like asked me to prom i got my dress and everything but im so nervous is there anyone that has some good advice about everything? like how to act around him and stuff because im really shy i'll rate 5's!!

Prom is extremely exciting. He will most likely be just as nervous. I went to two this year and I had my mom put the flower on so I wouldn't pin him. Just be calm and cool. Pictures will be annoying, we had 20 people so 40 people were taking pictures. Just make sure you talk to him, at first it will be akward but have fun.

every time i like some one and then they start to like me i dont' like them anymore... i dont know why but i think im afraid to fall in love because i went out with some one before and then he broke up with me and broke my heart and then thats when it all started.. i dont knwo if it's a case of really bad hard to get.. or i am scared.... i need help! :-(

I think you might just be scared, and that is normal. Don't think of it as falling in love, dating is sopossed to be fun. You don't have to "fall in love" with every guy you date.

Maybe you should ask him yourself? He might just be afraid to say yes if he likes you incase you don't like him, ya know? Try and get to know hm a little bit more and talk to him and see if you still get the same vibes.

Man, I feel stupid asking questions on this thing, but anyway...kind of a two-part question here.

First, I had a pretty big crush on a guy friend of mine...but I found out that he was dating someone else. I was kinda sad about it, but I was okay with it -- UNTIL the weekend later where he was flirting with me like crazy, and I know it was because his girlfriend wasn't there. I don't think the guy knows it, but it really hurt me, especially cause I'd just found out about his GF...and, well, even though it was a month ago, I'm still pretty ticked. Should I talk about it or should I just let it go?

Second, it's stupid, but I've never had a boyfriend and I'm starting to feel really bad about it, especially because all my friends seem to be hooking up -- I don't really want to date right now, but I wouldn't mind just finding a couple of guys I can flirt with and hang out with just so I can feel a little better about myself. (This, along with all the stuff above about the jerk-guy, has left me feeling like the Dateless Monster from Hell.) Any ideas?

Maybe to him the flirting that was occuring was just hanging out and talking. Does he know you have/had feelings for him? If not, you should tell him and if he was flirting with you then he'll realize he should backoff. If he doesn't, that just shows he's an asshole and doesn't care about other peoples feelings.

Get some girls together and go to a different towns spot such as: Bowling, movies, mall, park etc. You can scope out new guys and they will notice you and possibly talk to you, if not go talk to them. See if you have any close by under 21 dance clubs, people from all over go to those and I'm sure you could meet some great guys at one of those.

Hope I helped
