The guy I like thinks of me as just a friend. How can I get him to go out with me?
Tips:
1. Spread nasty gossip about him until you’re the only girl who’ll date him.
2. Get him in a headlock and tell him you won’t let go until he promises his heart to you.
3. Flirt like crazy. Make excuses to spend solo time with him and don’t treat him like just another boy bud.
My guy spends hours e-mailing this English girl he met online. Am I crazy to be jealous?
Answer:
Crazy? No way. But unless the Atlantic Ocean spontaneously evaporates, you don’t have much to worry about either.
Your guy is probably so into cyberbonding because it gives him the chance to reveal his secrets to someone in perfect safety. This English babe might appeal to him because she can’t laugh in his face, like a real girlfriend can. In short, she’s crush-worthy because she’s so far away.
Even if he is into her, remember that their connection is virtual; you’re the real deal. Just tell him that while you think it’s cool that he has a worldwide web-o-buds. you wish you two could connect like he and Geek Girl do (only don’t call her that in front of your boy). Once he realizes he can trust you, too, he should start bonding with you more.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years (we’re 17 now), and we want to get married right after graduation. But my parents don’t think I’m ready. How can I let them know that we’re serious?
Answer:
Your mission: to show the parents that you’re together enough to make your own love decisions and that you’re not itching to get hitched just to show them that they can’t stop you.
And they can’t. But any move you make will be way smoother if they’re on your side, so it’s worth making nice.
Often what parents want is to feel like their opinions are not being totally ignored. Tell them that you respect their point of view and that you’ll consider holding off a year on your trip down the aisle.
Once they see that you and your honey are thinking things through (and that you realize waiting is no biggie ’cause you have forever to be together) they’ll probably lay off.
Answer:
As a general rule, yes. Guy buds tend to be pretty tight, and any girl who threatens to bust up that bond often ends up getting the squeeze.
But before you give up your crush, ask yourself this: are you willing to jeopardize whatever friendship you have with your ex? If you don’t hang with your ex anyway, or if this guy’s your ultimate and you decide that you’re okay with taking that risk, you may want to give it a shot.
If you do decide to go for it,you should fess upto your ex first.
He maybe pissed or hurt—especially if he was the dumpee in your relationship or if you two were a serious item—but it’s better that he hears it from you than through the grapevine.
In time he’ll get over it, and when he does he’ll be happy that you were up-front.
I like my best friend’s brother, but she’s dead set against it. What can I do?
Answer:
A That depends on why she’s so anti. Maybe she’s seen you treat guys like shoe dirt, or maybe she knows he’s a hit-and-run honey. Our guess? She’s protecting her turf.
Your friend probably thinks she’ll either be left out, or worse, stuck hearing play-by-plays of your love-fest with a guy she’s called Buttface for 15 years. And if she’s close with her bro, she may not want to be replaced as his best girl bud.
You need to reassure her that if you do date her bro, it won’t wreck your friendship with her or her bond with him. Then proceed, but be sensitive to her feelings. Once she sees that you won’t be bailing on her, she may even offer to hook you up.

Last summer I was a junior counselor at a coed sleep-away camp. The kids in my bunk were the worst-behaved in the whole camp, and they were always playing pranks on me. One day I went on a nature hike with a guy I really liked. When we came back to the cabin, my underwear and bras were hanging all over the place, and my pads and tampons were taped to the walls! Everyone thought it was hysterical, including my crush, but I was furious.
