GUYS | DEAR CAROL

What's so weird about being single?

 
 
When boys ask me out, I always say no. It’s because I don’t like anyone that much and don’t need all that drama in my life. My friends think I should start dating so they always make fun of me about it, which makes me feel awkward and upset. How can I let the boys down in a way that won’t hurt their feelings?

Dear Heartbreaker,

It’s perfectly OK to say a sweet, “No, but thank you anyway,” with zero explanation, or, “Thanks, but I don’t want to date anyone right now.” If you’re not comfortable being so direct, you can let a guy down gently and tell him that your parents won’t let you date. No need to swear off boys forever, but it’s admirable that you listen to your heart rather than to other girls’ opinions. When friends jeer or push, remind yourself that their immaturity is their problem and not yours.

Guys don't seem to like me. Everyone says "be yourself" or "talk about something you have in common" but I need deeper advice. How do I make more guy friends? 

 

Hey girlie, part of making friends (guys or girls) is being outgoing and putting yourself out there. You're not going to make a new friend unless you start talking to people you don't know very well. Be willing to take risks like asking someone to hang out or exchanging phone numbers.

I have this crush on a guy I have no chance with!
I don't have classes with him and I barely see him in the hall!
I need advice to get him to notice me! But I can't just go up to him and say hi because that you be awkward and I am too shy
Please help
-crushing with no chance

Hey girlie,

Why can't you go up to him and say hi? If you don't introduce yourself to him, how will he see how awesome you are? Start up a casual conversation and get to know him as friends! If you are shy, you could walk over with a friend and introduce yourselves together, or you could ask a mutual friend to introduce you. You could set up a study date or ask him what he likes to do after school, and once you get to know each other as friends you can start hinting that you like him. Good luck chica!

I have a friend, who's a guy...We talk a lot and he always tells me how his life is going, and what girls he has crushes on and what he's planning to do for them for V-day. (coming up. I'm scared.) A few boys told me he likes me, and when the V-day talk comes up I asked him if he liked me. He said, (direct quote) "No, but you're a really awesome friend." Before, though he told me I'm pretty, the whole this and that. I'm not sure if I like him, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong for him not to like me. Gah, When I think that I start to think I DO like him...It's so confusing. I really don't know if he likes me or not, even though he said he didn't.


Hey girlie,

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, he just might not like you in that way! If he said he didn't like you, I would believe him and try to stay friends. Maybe he has other guy friends he could introduce you to!

Nothing is weird about being single. Its just that so many people are dating or hooking up. If you arent ready dont even think about dating but if you are ready, it can be a lot of fun. Just be ready for the drama that comes along with it. And now your friends will be talking about who you are dating and not about who you arent.

I've been texting this guy and he told me he'd like to talk to me more during school, but I don't know what to talk about. I don't talk to guys much, except when we text. It seems so much easier over text! But my question is, how am I supposed to talk to him? What should we talk about? How do I keep the convo going?

Hey girlie,

Why not talk about the same things you talk about in texting? You can have the same conversation, just in person! Try talking about something comfortable like school or TV and then go from there!
