Question Posted Thursday December 30 2010, 8:14 am
This may be a really stupid question, but how can you tell if a guy actually thinks you're attractive? I go to a school with a really messed up student population where none of the guys are really into me, but whenever I enter a new group of people (like summer programs, visit other schools, anything) I get a lot of attention. I'm going to college next year, and I'm a little confused about how to tell and I think I should probably figure that out before then :)
Also I don't think this is really allowed but how do you go about getting to know people without being awkward online? I've never really done it but now with all the college groups, I'm having to do it constantly and I'd prefer not to screw up social stuff before I even get there by being too awkward.
Thanks :)

Well first of all, words like "pretty" and "beautiful" mean more than if they say you're "hot" or "cute". They generally are associated with not purely physical looks, but you as a person, as opposed to the last two words. But besides that, it seems that you already have it figured out? Not every guy is going to think that every girl is attractive; with that being said, you already have noticed that when you go to other places, you get more attention. You seem to already be able to distinguish between someone who finds you attractive and someone who doesn't. As for the second part, I would say don't be too forward with people too quickly. Be friendly and talk about general topics, and avoid making them feel uncomfortable with lots of questions or anything like that. Just have a conversation with them how you would have one with anyone new you just met in person; it's essentially the same thing. Good luck [ AlexLobrano's advice column | Ask AlexLobrano A Question ]
