I really like this guy Jake, right? I'm 14 and he's 14 & he's in a few of my classes. Football player, hockey player, honor roll...perfect. We're friends & talk all the time, but we don't hang out one-on-one because I'm not as physically attractive as his past girlfriends.
I like him a lot, and I'd like him to ask me out, but I'm what my school would call fat-a size six. I know, I know. Fat. But is there a way that I can act, or something I can do, or say, or change my look, to make him like me as more than a friend?

LagunaBabe answered Tuesday January 30 2007, 1:50 am: Once I ran across your question, I definitely felt the need to answer it. First off, a size six is anything but fat, that's a healthy and thin weight. I think you should be proud for the body that you have, rather than these other girls who are literally carrot sticks for only the sake of a simple pound. So please, do not think you're fat, or overweight. You are beautiful, no matter what size you are. So there is no need to shoot yourself down, by thinking you're not as pretty as those other girls that this guy has dated. Believe me, even the most beautiful girls in America can be so mean, and cruel. I've met them, and I know how it is.
That's definitely a reason why I don't judge people on their looks, because it has absolutely nothing to do with their personality. It only emphasizes a person's inner beauty, and some people's inner ugly (for the mean ones.)
The absolute best advice I can give you is to just be yourself, and act like your normally would in your average everyday life. You don't need to change yourself for this guy. If he's a good guy and does like you more than a friend, he will like you for who you really are. Not who you pretend to be or who he wants you to be.
