Question Posted Wednesday January 30 2008, 4:01 pm
Sounds whiney but here's where Im stuck. He means everything and theres this gorgeous girl that goes to my school. She's Latina and Absolutley perfect in every way of course - and ... he likes her. I know that he does. Maybe not Loves her, but at the same time I know he likes her alot and it just hurts me so much. I've tried confidence tactics.. everywhting. We're quite close... but now we're drifting, because of her!! It seems shes faultless as well.. and he stops tlkaing to me so much now, and I know that hes talking to her in the meantime. The worst thing is, she's nice. She's slim. She's gorgeous. Im slim, Im not a touch on her though. I know he likes me too... but... I just need help. What should I do XD? This is making me down all the time and I just dont want to waste the best years of my life down. I wanna beat her - I want him, I know I can have him. But I cant beat her confidence/sexiness/effortlessness she has. She doesnt even try and she has him... I try... and where does that get me XD? Sorry. Im moaning. Help very much appreciated, though =]. Ta Very Muchly:)

If you're lucky, he might start to notice you're not paying him much attention any more and he might make some effort towards you.
If you haven't told him straight out that you like him more than a friend, do it. It could change things between you.
At the end of the day though, I know it's not what you want to hear, but you can't force him to like you more than her. You can't always get who you want. and throughout your life, you'll realize this because it'll probably happen more than once.
but don't give up without a fight (which you've been doing) - at least this way, you know you tried your best, and it's him who's missing out. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

She was blessed with good looks and a good personality to go with it, but comparing yourself to her is not going to make the situation any better. This is not a competition to win this guy. You should not have to "try" and get a guy to notice you because you will come off as pushy and clingy, and no guy wants that. Right now, you need to let him decide on his own, not by "out doing" her. If he picks her, then so be it, you cannot do anything about it. The reason you too are not as close as you were before is because you are putting competition on you and this girl, and he probably feels the pressure you are putting on it. If you want to get the closeness you had with him back, you need to put this behind you. I am not saying you have to stop liking him, but you cannot make it so obvious that you push him away, like you are doing now. Let him follow his heart and do what he wants to do, and then build off of that. [ kc's advice column | Ask kc A Question ]

LYYSSAA answered Wednesday January 30 2008, 6:22 pm: First step in winning over a guy is being confident and showing it. Walk through the halls with your head held up high.
Second step, everyone morning before school, work... wherever you see him wake up extra early and put in extra effort to look good .
Third step, and this is different for different girls. Some girls A) Flirt a lot with this certain boy and some B) Try to ignore him, and only talk to him once and a while. It depends on the guy some get turned on by girls who "dont notice them"
Fourth Step even if you have to tryy really hard to get this guy pretend you dont, pretend it comes easy to you.
And last of all have confidence in yourself ! Don't say how amazing that girl is, beacause guess what you're JUST as amazing really.
Worst case sinario whenever a guy doesnt like me i either A) just set my heart on someone else for the meantime and that guy will come to his senses a couple months later or B) Honestly tell him how you feel (this one's a tuffy). Sit him down and be liek look, I like you, and see what his reaction is.
