im a sophomore in highschool and the guy i like is a senior. he'd had a girlfriend for a long time. about 2 years i think. but they break up alot and fight alot. i really like him and i dont know what to do. should i tell him i like him? he is the most popular kid in school. everybody knows him even the freshman. i talk to him online but we only hung out once and thats when he invited me to come see him at his work. we have alot in common like the music and movies and the stuff we like. i dont know how serious he is with his gf. he always tells other girls their hott. plus they fight alot. how can i hint to him that i like him without actually telling him straight out? or should i tell him straight out? should i even tell him at all?
AskTammy answered Saturday April 1 2006, 6:19 am: It sounds like he had a lot a emotions tied into his girlfriend/ex-girlfriend and that doesn't bode well for you. We all know that the harder we love the harder we fight. However, the fact that he has flirted with you and told other girls that they are hot simply means that he needs his ego boosted and probably would physically cheat on his girlfriend. I don't think he is ready for a real relationship and do you really want to be the cheap thrill that he "physically gets with" but doesn't really care about?
However, there is a chance he might be want to get to know you, and if you take it slowly and let him learn to respect you he might then dump his girlfriend because he likes you more. I would play it cool and act like you are pretty, popular, confident and could have any guy in the world so the fact that he kind of flirts with you is not a big deal. Also, if he does make a move towards you I would say "Don't you have a girlfriend, isn't that kind of disrespectful?" This will let him know that you are a good confident girl who demands to be treated right if he does ever want you and will also show him that you're not intimidated by his girl. That being said, there is nothing wrong with looking hot, being in the places he is, and smiling at him but letting him approach you and start hitting on you, but just make sure before you let him make any moves to clear up the girlfriend thing. That is emotional baggage that is his deal to sort out and you really can't be bothered with it. Good luck! [ AskTammy's advice column | Ask AskTammy A Question ]

I think though the best way to do it is not to you know make it embarrassing for you and be like ya I like you so what I would do is ask go up to his work and be like I need to talk to you then just be like I have liked you for a while and I like you a lot but if you dont feel the same way that is ok so let him know you like him but dont make it seem like you need him make him see you have other things to think about besides him also. If him and his girl get into a lot of fights and he tells other girls they are hott then he probably doesnt have many feelings for her so I think if he knew how you felt he would so go for you and not her.
FiestyPoet answered Saturday April 1 2006, 12:51 am: You can tell him you like him either online, in a letter or face to face. But realize that there must be a reason him and his girlfriend keep breaking up then getting back together. So don't set your hopes to high on this. Just let him know how you feel without being pushy and with still being yourself. Then just see what he does or says in return. Because the choice is going to be up to him. If you let him know how you feel without being pushy and he does like you then in one way or another he will let you know. Either by what he says or by his actions. And always remember actions speak louder than words. Good luck on everything. Hugs Fiesty [ FiestyPoet's advice column | Ask FiestyPoet A Question ]
