Hey! there's this guy who goes to my church and he's been eyeing me lately and he's pretty cute! ;) well, we really haven't been able to talk to each other because there's really been like no excuse to talk... But today I have the perfect excuse because its my birthday! So, how can I get him to find out, because that would be the perfect excuse for him to talk to me! Let me know! :) (link)
talk about your birthday loudly in the church, make it your facebook status, tell him straight out about it, have one of his friends tell him, bring cupcakes to church for your birthday and offer him one?


18/f...i am kind of interested in this guy who is 25 and is also interested in me. he is my uncle's fiance's brother...so he's not blood related, but would it be weird for me to date him? (link)
your uncle would probably think its werid if he doesn't know about it already. 25 and 18 is a pretty large age gap when you are this young. personally i would try finding aanother guy, but you could posssibly make it work. i work definitley tlak to your uncle and his fiance about it first though so things don't get too weir.


hey thanks for reading :)

ive been meeting up with this lad for over 5mouths now and i realy like him , im actualyy in love with him because we met up like 4 times a week , but the only problem is a part of me thinks hes just using me for sex but if he was using me wouldnt he of moved on by now? we always fall out i dont no why its mosty me because i need him and i cant see why he wont get with me we act like a couple well i think we do, he never tells actually told me if he likes me or not not even to his or my mates he just sayin he hates realatships , like i said its 5mouths and i want to move on coz i dont think he will ever get with me but a apart of me thinks he will he just need time to think i mean we txt eachother everyday , i dont weather to say its over with the meeting because i cant handle it and that because we int getting anywere or leave him for a days, weeks or months , to see if he do care eught to get in touch with me or leave him a message sayin you have a week to make your mind up but thats childish , another thing is he never kissed me lol we have done everything not once has a got a kiss :S i tryed to kiss him but he just says he done like kissing, if anyone understands what im tryin to tell you can u please help me .... (link)
i'm sorry but i think he's just using you for sex. if he loved you i think he would have at least tried a relationsip with you. and the fact that he has never actually said he likes you is not a good sign. and .. he won't even kiss you? kissing is one of the most pleasureable things for a girl, all girls like kissing. even if he didn't like it i should think that he would do it for you since you have sex with him. personally i think he sounds like a really selfish guy and is using you because he knows he can get sex from you. if you want to find out if he's using you or not see how he responds if you guys don't have sex for a while, i.e. just hang out and hook up and do other things... if he is mad or responds negatively (demands sex, doesn't wanna hang out with you, etc.) it is time to move on. go find a guy who deserves you


I started a new school this year and i went in now expecting to date anyone or even feel like i would try to pursue anyone. I don't date very much and although that sucks it takes a lot for me to like someone. I've had my eye on this kid all year he's extremely cute and he likes the same music as i do and seemed nice but i just admired from a far i guess you would say. I knew nothing would ever happen between us but then he started sitting at my lunch table. He's extremely nice and he talks to me i feel comfortable infront of him. I would really like to talk to him more but i dont know if he is even slightly intrested in me or how to talk to him and what about. I'm very afraid to flirt or to make a move because i have low self esteem I just assume if i like someone that there is no way they would like me i just i want to take a chance. So how do i take a chance what do i say? what do i do? (link)
ahhh i'm always afraid to flirt with people to because i don't want to scare them away. but i think i would actually flirt with this guy, i mean what do you have to lose. you have no bad record, you're new at the school, and who knows it could be the start of something great. if he doesn't flirt back or seems to pull away, go back to being just friends.

flirting techniques:
touch his arm, laugh at his jokes, try making fun of him in a light hearted way. invite him to hang out with you in a group of friends, or if you see him at a party go on and talk to him. if you have classes together start studying together (ask for his number so you can call it with questions, and give him yours). walk him to his classes...

So, this guy wrote me a note today and told me he liked me and he wanted to get to know me, etc. He said he was nervous at first to talk to me but he asked for my number and i gave it to him and he keeps calling but i am scared to answer it because i only met him today...and i'm not sure if i ike him like that. He is really nice and sweet already and we talked a lot at school but i get really nervous whenever i talk to guys on the phone for the first time. I only met him today, so is it mean not to answer the phone and wait until i know him a little better. I would be more comfortable then but i don't want to tell him that so what do i do? thanks! (link)
just answer the phone. if its awkward i doubt he'll notice because he's probably worrying too. if you dont answer he's gonna think you hate him or something, or ask you why you didn't pick up in school, and that'll just be awkward cause you'll have to lie. if you decide you don't like him, tell him... but don't shut out an oppourtunity cause youre nervous


sadie hawkins is coming up, and i asked a guy a little while back, and he said yeah, but theres a problem.. he goes to a different school and i never see him. i asked him a couple of weeks ago, and we hung out on valentines day and he was my valentine but we didnt talk about it that day. last week i asked him over a message if he was still going to go with me, and he said that he was thinking no because he was sick, but once he gets better, he will want to go and that hed get back to me later. i still havent seen him in person, and i havent talked to him either. what should i do? (link)
i would tell him not to worry about it and go with someone else who you know can definitley go with you.

tell him "its nothing personal, like i obviously still wanna hang out; but i don't want to risk going alone and put pressure on you to go to something when you're sick."

and make other plans with him so he knows you are still interested in maintaining a relationship with him (whether it be friendship or romantic).


ok so it all started when last year when I noticed that a guy was kinda stalking me I guess b/c I would see him everywhere. ok so this yr its like the same thing his locker is by mine so we see each other pretty much every day.like he stares at me a lot even my friend noticed.every time hes lookin at me and I look at him he looks away. i think he might like me but Im not sure. First it was kinda annoyin but then I started to get interested b/c he's very cute. then I found out that he is a sophomore and I felt weird b/c im a senior. im not sure on what to do. I think I like him but he's younger..would that be a problem?? If not, how should I start talkin to him b/c we dont even know each other =( (link)
nahttt a problem in terms of age. several senior girls at my school are going out with sophmores and they're totally normal.

start talking to him by like smiling at him, and then being like..
"oh hey i see you all the time... whats your name again?"
(him talking)
"oh sweet see you tommorow:)"

it shouldnt be hard, he's pretty obviously interested in you.


What does it mean if a guy SAYS he likes you and flirts with you and stuff but constantly teases you and basically makes no effort to continue the relationship further?

14/f. =] (link)
he wants you to confirm that you like him back and for you to make the next move. go out on a date w/ him :)


well, it's sort of in the friendship/love life section. i wasn't too sure which one to stick it in.


it's my crush's birthday soon and i was wondering what i should get him. anybody got any ideas? i want to get him something nice, but you know, i only got so much money. probably like 20 dollars or so, i can proably even go 30. i mean i thought of the usual cologne idea but he already has enough cologne and i've asked him countless times what he wants me to get him, and he just answers,"whatever you get me will be fine." that didn't help at all.


-.-

so if anybody has any ideas for me, id' really appreciate it! (link)
a hat of his favorite team
tickets to a concert/game you both like
video games
bake cookies!
boxerss
t shirt of favorite team
funny t shirt from spencer's

hope those help!

girl: i dnt get it??

duckyville72 (link)
i would say he want to be popular enough for you to get your wish of making out with someone...


Ok well I had this bf, and everything was going great! But for some reason he broke up with me. out of the blue and then treated me pretty poorly. I took me a while to get over it. but now its a little over a year later and he left me a message on myspace saying that hes never stopped loving me?
i'm soo confused by that b/c hes the one that broke up with me!
I was pretty hurt, and don't knwo if i can trust him but then again i liked him a lot and i can't just turn me head. HELP!
(link)
tell him how you feel. be like, "i felt so strongly about you and you just broke things off with me for no reason and left me stranded with no support at all. i don't know if i can take you back if you're gonna keep being so secretive. we need to talk things over." don't completly ignore him though, because there's always the chance he had a very good reason... you don't want to let true love pass you by, but you don't want to be too easy either.


Ok so i got a boyfriend yesterday and 5 of my friends like him and before i said yes i talked to them the 4 were all fine but cut but they toild me to do whats right and they were so nice then my bestfriend ii asked her and i told her if you dont want me to il just so no but she was so happy and she was like YEH go for it but she told that she had gotten over him ok and she was like go for it yay then when i said yes she started crying now shes mad at me and i dont want to dump him what should i do =[=[ ?? (link)
talk to her first. ask her why she told you to go for it when she still felt so strongly about him. maybe she'll coem around. if she still has a problem with it, i would break up with him and explain the situation to the boy so he understands why it's ending so fast. remember, in the long run, her friendship will probably last longer than your relationship with this boy. good luck :)


There's really not a category for my questiion so I appologize in advance. Anyway, I've had freckles on my face for as long as I can remember. As a kid, everybody thought it was cute, including girls, but I didn't want anything to do with them obviously in 2nd grade or whatever. Now that I'm in college, I don't think that people, including myself, really think freckles are cute anymore. I dont have problems with acne, and I'm in pretty good shape. Do any girls out there think that freckles are a cute thing? (link)
freckles are actually really cute i think. they give you a boyish look that a lot of girls can't resist. i would definitley date a guy with freckles :) i'm assuming you're a guy but its not really clear?

umm and anyways if you are a girl freckles are also a really cute thing... they look fresh and are desired by a lot of models.... just look at the j.crew catalog.


I'm in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend, and we've been together for about a year. The only way we can talk is through the internet and on the phone (but only on weekdays when I'm off) and his birthday is coming up this week and I don't know what to do!

I can't buy him anything, cause he wont be back til late this summer, and he won't tell me what he wants anyway. So what's something special and sweet that I can do for him?

Thanks!!! (link)
make him a care package of like unpershiable snacks/ foods he likes, cute pictures of you two, and a card that you made yourself. if you have the money, buy tickets for you and him to go to a concert when you get to see him again. if you can, try to go in for a surprise visit and make him out to dinner. hope this helps. also, i usually make cookies for my guy friends and they find it cute. you could write a message on them or something if he likes that kind of thing.


19/F

It's almost the summer, and I just realized that I'm not going to see my boyfriend for at least three and a half months. I'll be able to talk to him on the phone, but we'll be really far away from each other (I'm going to be in the middle of the woods).

Our relationship has been great, we're moving in together in the fall, and we're really in love with each other.

Does anyone who has been in a similar situation have any advice on how to make it work? (link)
if its that serious that you are gonna be moving in together, i wouldn't worry about it. keep in touch and call him and write cute letters/ send care packages or something to him. never question himn about his loyalty unless you have strong rason to, as this is a weak point in many relationships. good luck :)


I was just wondering if any of you really like, celebrate a year and a half anniversary with your boyfriend/girlfriend? If so, what are some cute, little gifts you get your significant other? You don't have to know anything about my boyfriend, just general answers for anyone would be fine. Or, do you think just spending the day together is enough? Thank you. =) (link)
ask him about gifts. if he truly does not want anything, than don't get him anything and just spend the day with him.. maybe bake cookies. if a guy says he doesn't want anything he is pretty straightforward and would feel bad if you got him something since he might not get you anything. however, i think he'll probably want to exchange gifts. ideas: baseball hat for his favorite team, dvd of a movie he likes/you watch together (proabbly comedy).. or a dvd of a tv series he likes. maybe tickets to a concert for you and him to go to of a band he likes, or sports tickets for you and him of a team he likes. other cute ideas to spend the day are to have a picnic, go iceskating/rollerblading, go out to dinner, go swimming, or just cuddle together and watch a movie. hope this helps.


in gym class, i am in a group with this other guy and three other girls. the other three girls do nothing, and i really want to impress the other guy on my team. i'm not very good at volleyball, but can someone send me to a site that can teach you how to play volleyball really well with only one other good player on your team? (link)
just go over to him and be like "ugh, i totally suck at this? can you give me some pointers?" playfully laugh at yourself when you make a mistake, and if he really cares about winning give him a sympathetic glance and say something like "sorry, i'm trying"

here's a site with volleyball techniques.

I like this guy and he stares at me in classes and talks to me and stuff. But i cant really tell if he likes me.. What do I do to tell if he really likes me?


please help! (link)
ask him for a favor that people wouldn't normally do for you i guess. likee.. ask for candy or make him wait in line with you or something. be more up front and flirtacious and like playfully make fun of him. if he's still being nice and flirty to you, there's a pretty good chance he likes you :) you could also have another friend talk to him and be like "i heard you like someone in your ___ class" and then he might open up and tell her. if you need more suggestions, just drop another question in my inbox.


14/f

So there's this older guy who I've liked since the very first day of school. I just met him this year. And he keeps looking & poking fun at me and crap, so I'm 90% sure he likes me too. But it's getting really awkward..like one day we'll totally zone out in each other's eyes and then the next day I'll be totally embarassed to face him again because of it.

so now I want to stop liking him, because the awkwardness is driving me crazy and I'm not 100% sure if I'm ready for a bf (I could be ready, but i'm not COMPLETELY assured yet). I do everything to take my mind off him, whether it's pretending i dont know he exists in class or going out with friends to distract me. But everytime I think I'm over him he'll do something super cute and I'll fall head over heels for him again, then soon after another awkward lovey moment comes again and the cycle repeats. It's tiring but exhilerating at the same time. And even though I try to stop liking him, I also have a feeling that I really don't ever want to stop.

so i guess..um, what should i do? i need ANY advice at all, i'm at a loss. thankyou. (link)
hey.. i would actually go for it for a little longer. he could ask you out and you guys could totally hit it off, and anyways if you aren't feeling it than you can always break up with him. if you're totally tired of him than look around for some new guys, go to dances, get close to your other guy friends and maybe hook up or something? that will get your mind of him.


so theres this boy, and he means the world to me. hes my best friend.

he has a girlfriend, but says hes in love with me. and he doesnt know what to do. im sitting here wondering if i should stay here wating for him to break up with his girlfriend. or move on.


except when i get a new crush my best friend gets mad and jealous and makes me feel bad.

what do i do? help. (link)
tell him if he really wanted you that he would have taken the initiative to break up with his girlfriend. by not breaking up with her, he is hurting everyone. give him about 2-3 weeks and if then he still hasn't broken things off move on. its his fault that he didn't make himself availible for you and you can't wait you whole life waiting for someone else.
