A while ago, one of my guy friends started pestering me, calling me at random times of night, being mean to me, then being scarily nice to me, then being very flirty with me. We quickly figured out that he liked me, and a few days later he asked me out, and I said yes.
However, as soon as he asked me out he started ignoring me, finally getting one of his friends to dump me a few days later. According the the friend, he was just shy.
Now I'm really confused, not only because as soon as he asked me out he ignored me, but because now we are just ignoring each other totally.
This is stupid, I really want him back as a friend, I really enjoy being around him. And I actually do still have feelings for him as well.
Why did he start ignoring me? And how do I get him to stop?

Guys ... they can be such a pain! Talk to him about it. He's probably going through some weird guy thing where he's too shy to talk to you. He's afraid he'll ruin things if he takes it a step further so unforunately it's pretty much up to you. Us girls are more mature so we can deal with stituations like this. Just go up to him and be all "you know what, we need to talk." Even if it takes you a while to hunt him down because he's trying to avoid the situation.

Today in English we were reading some story about something to do with someone having a disability wanting to play golf. He had trouble walking and had to use a cart to get around to the hole while everyone else had to walk (obviously I wasn't paying much attention). But, towards the end of class my teacher brought up a good point about what the word "fair" meant to us.

Her question was, "Is being fair treating everyone equally, or giving lea-way to those with disabilities so they can be like everyone else.

I was wondering what it meant to you guys.

Wow, that's a great topic! I always considered it to mean everybody treated equally but now that you brought that up, I think it would mean giving others some help so they can do the same things as others.

What are some ways I can keep my hair healthy (breakage, damaged hair .. etc) but still make it look great everydaY? I rate high! :)

I'm happy I came across you're question. My dad happens to be a hair dresser from LA so he's delt with plenty of celebrities (and their hair) so I have some tips for you. Hair is a complicated thing. Especially if you have naturally course or easily damaged hair. First things first, don't wash it everyday. Believe it or not, that damages the hair cuticle and will make it frizzier. Another thing, in case you don't have alot of money to waste away on expensive French hair products, worry about picking out a selective conditioner. Conditioners make a world of difference. When you use it, don't wash it out right away. Leave it in for about 2 minutes and let it moisturize. On that note, a quick moisturizer (I believe "Bed Head" makes one) will also help give it a healthy boost. It restores the natural oils in your hair but doesn't make it frizzy. Now how's THAT for a deal? Lastly, get your hair trimmed every once in a while. Even if you're planning on growing it out, your ends will get dead and tired after a while so snipping off just a 1/2 inch will give your hair a smoother feeling. Good luck! If you need anymore advice, don't be afraid to ask.

My parents have officially said that I can have the name as "going out" with someone. There's this guy I've had my eye on for a while, but he has turned me down on several occasions. We're not exactly friends, and I haven't exactly asked him out. He knows I like(d) him and he's kinda weirded out by it. At the next dance should I ask him to dance?

(oh, I'm 13/f)

There are plenty of fish in the sea. Sometimes, guys just aren't into certain people. He's obviously got an issue. I'm sure you're a very pretty and sweet girl, you just need to find the right guy. Sometimes, it's the guy you least expect. Any secret admirers lately that you hadn't thought about? Try making friends with another guy and maybe that'll lead to something. Or maybe there's a guy friend that you never thought of as "boyfriend-material". Need more advice? My inbox is always open.
