I'm 13/f, I really like this guy, and I'm in the 7th grade. He's really cute and he's really fun to talk to and he's really nice and I could make a whole list of great things about him, but that would take a long time and wouldn't make much of a difference anyhow. We used to be good friends, but over the summer he went away and I didn't get to stay in touch with him. Now, he's still nice and we still IM and talk sometimes and all, but he just doesn't seem interested and has sort of backed down. He talks and flirts with other girls, and I know that that's not something to be really mad about, but I just can't help but be really pissed off whenever he's having fun with another girl, or talking and walking alone with another girl. And I'm too embarassed to talk to him as much, and he's in only 1 of my classes (Grrr). What can I do to build back friendship again, how can I approach him without blushing, how can I get him to notice me more? I know this is really long, and I'm only 13, and this seems like a dumb question compared to what's happening to people dying in New Orleans and people trying to live in leaky football stadiums in New Orleans but I really need help!!!

ACartee answered Sunday September 4 2005, 8:03 pm: First off, that's really thoughtful for you to realize that people have it worse than you. That proves that you are mature for your age. Second if you are wanting to build back to friendship that you had [ and maybe more ] them you can't be embarrassed to talk to him. You once had a friendship so it wouldn't be that weird if you just walked up and asked how he had been doing, ya know, just small talk. When you do so don't think about trying to impress him, that'll cut down on the blushing. Don't do anything outta the way to try and impress him either. Just be yourself. Guys love genuine girls. You can't get mad about him talking to other girls [ well you can but doesn't do any good ] =] He probably doesn't realize that you are interested in him because you haven't talked in a long time. He's just out trying to get to know other girls. Once he finds out you are interested I'm sure he'll start paying ALOT of attention to you too. =] I'm sure everything will get worked out. Keep your great attitude and Good Luck!
LaydeeAki answered Friday September 2 2005, 8:35 pm: It's normal to be jealous since you like him. Explain to him how you feel about not hanging out with him more often. When he talks and hangs out with other girls. Make some plans and ask himt o hang out with you. if you're shy make group plans so it's more people and it's not that noticable that you still like him that way. He may feel wierd that you still like him and he doesnt still like you. If he doesn't notice you already like he did before, then obviously you have changed or he's looking for something better or just not interested in the same things before and growing up. try finding out what made him change his feelings for you. what do you notice about the girls he hangs out with and what do you notice the difference between you and them? To build back up the friendship, be your self. ask him questions about how he's feeling and what he's up to and why he talks other girls and hangs out with them more than you. If he's only in 1 of your class's, try catching him in the hallway and giving him a smile. hope it turns out okay. [ LaydeeAki's advice column | Ask LaydeeAki A Question ]
Punk*Rock*Prep99 answered Friday September 2 2005, 8:31 pm: Hey, I don't think this is a dumb question. The same thing just happened to me. Jealousy TOTALLY took over. I was reading my really good guy friends myspace (I kinda like him a "little") comments, and there was one from this girl I know, we are sorta friends, but you could just tell that she was trying to make people jealous because she hung out with him on his birthday, and no one else did except for his guy friends and, well it made me mad, sad, and feel really left out. AND WAY JEALOUS. I totally know how you feel. Just try to be a really good friend to him and call him sometime just to talk. Thats what I do, or just tell him that you have to go, and that he can call back later. I don't know, not much you can do about it. Gosh, I'm like so sad and jealous that I'm like about to cry. OMg. Okay, I'm being annoying. Hope I helped! -|-PRP-|- [ Punk*Rock*Prep99's advice column | Ask Punk*Rock*Prep99 A Question ]
shining_star answered Friday September 2 2005, 8:28 pm: Well, about ur problem with a guy. I gonna give u an example of my friend. There was that guy names prince charming. (yeah he's really hot). And there was one phyco girl, who was a princess. And two of them, used to talk to each other alot. They would call each o ther on cellphoens. She was the second person prince charming talked to on phone. He talked the most to his best buddy. Prince and Princess were very diffrent, and started out as complete strangers.
Hmm... Okey
pretty useless story. But it shows that you need to COMUNICATE with him. Well, can you keep the conversation going between you two for 2 hours? If so call him, on his cell. Be yourself, and you both gonna have fun talkign to each other. Or... if you can't keep the convo going, then aproach him in the hallways, or when you see him. Just try to get to know the part part of him, that was hidden from you. Ask him about his life. And most importantly feel comfortable. Once you get to know the human side of him you will. And dont' mind him flirting with every girl he sees. IT's only natural for guys...
Have fun. sigh* hope this helps. [ shining_star's advice column | Ask shining_star A Question ]
rikatree2375 answered Friday September 2 2005, 8:17 pm: If you want your friendship back, then really start talking to him again. Start conversations and get back in touch basically. The closer you can get to him, the better your chances will be. If you're shy, then maybe go and talk to him around your other friends and they can support you. Just start talking again and flirt alot. The guy won't back off then. Hope i helped and good luck!!!
