O.k well this guy I like is kind of in the popular crowd. Like alot of the really popular guys talk to him. I try to stay in the middle so I'm not known to well so my name stays away from rumers. Anyway I like him and I think he likes me too. I want to ask him to be my bf, but I'm afraid that he will laugh in my face like he was dared or somethin cuz him and hiz friends do that alot. I think he really does like me thou because We are always joking and laughin and we sit together in all my classes. One time during a silent project he chunked a dictionary at my leg so I threw it back. We laughed. Another time my teacher asked his friend to write names on the board and he hates me so he wrote my name on there. He said NO erase it! So he did. He carries my trumpet to and from band hall too. I have to pay him though. My friends are always tring to hook us up. P.S not to sound raciest but he's balck and I'm white. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
If you aren't racist, I'm assuming that you're worried what others might think about the two of you dating. Anybody who knows me, knows the answer I'm going to give you or anyone else with this question -- don't worry about what other people think, the only thing that matters is what YOU think. Something good to remember there. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]

I really don't agree with your previous advice so I am going to put my two cents in... hope you don't mind *smile*
Guys are immature and irritating, especially in high school. They always seem to be mocking someone and laughing behind their backs. But what are we to do? We like guys, no matter how rediculous they are right? Being an adult I don't like high school boys anymore... but OH I USED TO!!! lol Had more than enough crushes in my day.
ANYWAY haha... Here's my advice. You two seem to really hit it off in classes. Sounds like you have really fun chemistry together! Don't rush into the boyfriend thing... at least not until you are really certain about how you two feel about each other. Why don't you ask him to hang out sometime... perhaps you have a group of friends going out for pizza or something. You could tell him "some of us are going out this weekend and I thought it would be fun if you came too". You can play it safe by doing a group thing or even do something really public, just the two of you. Are there any Halloween parties or a haunted hayride? Maybe some sort of festival or... I don't know. Something. Be creative. But initially just try "hanging out". If he is interested and you have fun in a public setting with loads of people/other friends around, go for the next step. Maybe HE will go for the next step! I do agree that playing hard to get can be fun... especially if the guy takes the bait... but that is not how you get involved in a relationship that is honest and worth while. Honesty is always the best way. "pretending" you don't care could possibly get you doing NOTHING-EVER with this guy. You may find he is actually as nervous as you and is afraid to take the first step.
Thief answered Tuesday October 30 2007, 1:38 am: im sorry dear but this isn't worth it, sounds to me like you're doing more effort that your supposed too. You have to pay him to carry your trumpet? that's a waste of money in my book, but that's just my opinion, the KEY way to get a man to go on his knees begging for buttermilk is to play HARD TO GET that's right. Playing hard to get drives even a guy nuts cause they want your acknowledgement to know they exsist. Just pretend that you're not interested and that he's just some guy. It may be hard but trust me it works. Evere heard the phrase " white women are a blck mans criptanite?" May sound "racsist" but it really isn't in all fairness they made it up first and in popularity others fallowed. Other than that, it sounds like you guys don't even have much a connection anyway, esspecially the part when you pay him to carry your trumpit. I would say try it out and observe his actions and see if he's worth it or not. If no go then he's no go. Beilieve me, i've seen and done these and it usualy works. Of course it also depends on the human will, which is another story. Hope this helps and take care now, lemmie know how this turns out. [ Thief's advice column | Ask Thief A Question ]
