Q: Why are guys so goddamn shallow?! Not saying girls aren't but I know I lowered my standards a bit because the guy I like right now is hott to me but I know the majority of girls would disagree. It's just..the boobs, tall, blonde hair..can't guys see past that to other people with more substance?! Do similar interests mean anything? How can you tell if they're flirting or not or just pretending to lead you on then burn you, or even just being "friends"? Please help, I'm so sick of being a loner. Thanks.

not all guys are shallow. what you need to realize is that guys feel that they have to compete with all other guys. whether its retarded or not. when i guy likes you. they usually let you know. if your not sure ask them how they see you. and i dont think that your a loner. its that you just dont know how to figure guys out. dont worry it took me a while. but i grew up around it. youll be used to it soon. and be friends with all guys and see if you like them first. then move to step 2. do they like you. hope i helped

Q: well i have this really really good friend in drama club with me..
were tyte
hes a year older than me, but we're still really tyte.

he had a big crush on me last year, but i didnt like him
what sucks is that once i got to know him more.. i really like him now.
were like really good friends with benefits and its obvious that im one of his good friends cuz i was one of the first people he told about wanting to ask the girl he likes out.
i helped him out and im trying to get this girl to go out with him..

But i cant help but wonder.. i know i like my friend.. but why don't i feel jelous.. and im like reminding him every day to ask her out..
why do i not feel jelous at all and why am i so intent on making his other girl work out.. usually girls are trying to sabotauge him in this situation..
is there something thats special and different with us than other typical friends with benefits.. or is this just normal?

i rate all 5s
sorry 4 length

what i think is going on is your jealous deep down. it just hasnt surfaced quite yet. what i think is, like i did, you will try to get them together. and once it works you will be unhappy and you will feel like you cant even be friends with him. youll feel like your feelings wont matter to him cause you like him but he has someone else. my ex and i broke up a month ago and i still cared about him but he thought i cheated. he didnt care at all. when people asked if i still loved him i said hell no. i was lying so badly. then i found out that my friend likes him a lot. and she has even before we dated. which was a real long time ago. she says they talk all of the time. but he tells other people that they dont. so i dont know. but my point is that i try still to get them together knowing that i cant have him back without hurting her and my new bf. so what you have to do is tell him that you care about him. im sure his feelings havent changed for you. so just try it adn tell me how it goes. k . hotrod
