Chris asks…

I like my guy friend and he supposedly likes me but…?

BUT (Prepare for loong story here so please try to be patient :/ and follow with me please!) ..
1) We used to be close friends but over the past few years we have drifted apart.
2) I have my suspicions that he likes another girl but my friend is suggessting, I’m jealous.
—————————————————————————————————————————————

Okay, look – Our friend (I’m still partially friends with his group but mostly somewhat close/good friends with his female friends) (this dude right here is a guy, sorry) has tried to get us together since the end of school last year. At the end of March, I had a bad breakup after a considerably worthwhile relationship and wasn’t ready. (He dumped me for someone else, bla bla bla, etc.)
Everyone says we have so much in common (Which I have to admit, is in a way correct but seeing as how we have drifted apart I wouldn’t really know..) and that we would make a cute couple.
Oops, Rewind: Forget about this other girl: Let’s call her Helga. Now Helga is a pretty, popular, WAY funny girl that is good friends with him. (Darn, should give my guy friend code name..Mark) Mark and Helga laugh together but last year Helga went on and off with his close friend, Darth Vader. Now that I think about it, I guess he wouldn’t go out with her because of his friend’s, Darth Vader’s, used-to head-over-heels, lovesick relationship with her but hey-they’re good friends and here’s the thing – MARK IS SHY. Or at least he is to me..
Complicated part: Recently, I’ve grown feelings to him and my fear of losing him to someone else/another girl (Recently Helga..) has been showing through to me (Dreams, need I say more?) Also recently, I’ve asked him to homecoming seeing as 1) I like him and 2) His friend(s) won’t let up until I DO ask him out. So I asked him to homecoming, cause you now..get to know him again, etc. But that day I also had to work concessions at a football game (Fun -.- ) and he just avoided me. But Helga and her good friend (I like her friend more than I like Helga) are LOUD talkers and were just standing over by where I was working and Helga’s friend, Amy, was saying, “She finally did it and you’re…” (I wish she could’ve talked a little louder, but anyway it was obvious she was talking about me even after she said, “Hey —–! I totally was not talking about you!” but she’s just fun like that and you can’t really help but laugh at that.)
Mark, his friend (The one that has been bugging me but I feel is partially correct), Helga, and Helga’s older sister were hanging out together at the football game (or as much as I saw..) and Mark never plain out said “No” or “Yes”.
Two LONG, AGONIZING hours later.. I texted him saying, “It’s a no, right?” (Before the game ended, his friend came with one of the hamburgers for ketchup and for ten seconds-all I had- asked him, “He’s saying no, right?” and he said, “Yeah” then ran back.). Ten minutes later he texted back, “Yeah im sorry”.

So yeah.. I’ve talked with close friends/mother (Older people know what’s best seeing as they’ve been there!) and one of them said, “Just be friends with him.” I know but I just sorta can’t.. I’d still be stuck in the same position as I am right now. He doesn’t talk to me unless I talk to him and as my mom says, he’s comfortable where he is right now – “He’s not going for it but he’s LOOKING” (xD). Mark is a shy guy towards me but I know he’s funny besides the fact he’s not really outgoing and likes video games (kinda like me!).
Information to back up he MIGHT like me: After my breakup in March, the day after I was DEPRESSED, and wrote on Facebook, “Worst day of my life..” (which so far was at the time) and my ex and Mark went into an arguement with my ex saying, “I said I was sorry!” and Mark saying, “Just leave her alone!” and defending me. The next day we kinda talked, since we were at a track meet (well my class was helping out with a track meet) and that was really the last face-to-face contact we’ve had..

I’m lost. I don’t know what to do. I’m sure I screwed up and I don’t know where to turn or where else to go. Please let me know what you think and if you actually read htis whole thing-THANK YOU.
Now please help me.

Ken asks…

I really like this guy, in fact I think he could be the one, but how do I get him to ask me out if he’s shy?

I’m a freshman in high school and I did a play over the summer at my school. When I was doing the play, I met this cute but shy sophomore guy that I immediately had huge crush on. Apparently though, it turns out that he had a crush on me the whole summer too and I didn’t even know it until the play was over and I was on vacation in a different state. On vacation, he texted me and told me that he heard me talking to my friend about how much I liked him and that he liked me too. He flirted with me ALOT over the phone and said that when I got back, he really wanted to talk to me. I texted him every day but when I got back, we grew distant and he stopped answering my texts. It turns out that the whole time I was away, he was trying to decide between me and another girl that he was completely in love with to date. He asked the other girl out the day I got back, and we never really got to talk about us and what could have been.

With me being heartbroken, I didn’t see him or text him much for the rest of the summer, but when school started, I forced to see his face again. Somewhere in the first one or two weeks of school, I pulled him aside and made the mistake of telling him how I just wanted to be friends, now that he had a girlfriend. He said he was proud of me and how I was so mature for telling him, but on the inside, my heart was dying.

The year went on and soon it was homecoming week, he had told me previously how he wanted to meet and approve all guys who asked me to homecoming. Being a pom, I got asked by this jerky popular guy who my crush hated. I was half tempted to go to homecoming with him just to make him jealous but I said no. I couldn’t stoop that low just for a boy. So then the homecoming football game that the poms squad preformed at was approaching quickly. The night of the game, my crush brought his girlfriend. I was devastated. The girlfriend kept giving me dirty looks throughout the night (I don’t know if she knew about my old “thing” with her boyfriend or not) and he never introduced me to her, but he kept flirting with me right in front of his girlfriend. The next day, it was homecoming and I arrived with my girlfriends, having not said yes to any of the boys who asked me. My crush arrived with his girlfriend but she eventually ditched him in the beginning of the night (she’s a kind of a jerk if you haven’t caught on to that yet), leaving him alone with only his friends at homecoming. Eventually, I made my way over and danced with him and our friend for a couple of minutes, but it was never just the two of us.

Shortly after homecoming, my crush broke up with his girlfriend. She later told him that she never really loved him. This tore him apart, which make me think that maybe he’s not ready for a relationship yet. We’re doing the spring musical together and I’ve been texting him lately, so I’m hoping that will bring us together again. I’ve never dated before so I don’t know if I’m going about the right way of getting him to like me again. Please help me. I think I might love him and I don’t want to lose him again.

James answers:

It sounds like he definitely needs a break from girls for a bit. Try to become closer to him, as friends. I find that when two people are first friends, their relationship is more strong. Hopefully, he’ll get over his girlfriend (who sounds nice… Ha just kidding) and go out with you. I know this is all cliche, but if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. He sounds like a nice kid and you’ll be spending a lot of time with him through the musical.

Good luck! :)

Jenny asks…

I asked a girl to homecoming and i got reasonably turned down but…?

so ive liked her since like what…6th grade? so 4 years i guess… ya lame i kno

well i asked her to homecoming the other day..and being that we are friends and she is really nice i figured i stood a good chance of her saying yes

but..after school she talked to me and said ” i really like you but we have diff. friend groups and it would be really awkward for either of us to go since one of us would not kno anybody else in that group (she is popular and im not…so we have diff. friends)

i took that as a reasonable rejection s ince i was thinking the same thing about how it would be hard on us both…

but im not sure if she really ment it or is just saying that not to hurt my feelings… even tho it did…

what do u think? did she just turn me down flat out or did she really honestly care about how we both felt? btw she is not one of those b*tch popular girls who dont care about people…she is extremely nice and caring…
after that we walked and talked for a while just casually and then i had to go to my way and she went hers… i really like her..its not just some little kid infatuation..i really do like her and i want to get to kno her even more…does she want to continue being friends and maybe later on i can ask her out? or shud i just take a hint and drop it?
THANKS SO MUCH

James answers:

HEY SORRY TO HEAR THAT BUT YEAH ONCE A GIRL SAYS NO IT MEANS NO…BOTTOM LINE…maybe she thinks your embarrassing or something…but yeah i was popular in my high school and all the popular student hung out all the time together..and this happend on year one of my guy friends brought a girl that we never talked to and she was totally different than us and believe it or not none of us talked to her…i felt bad but thats how it is so your better off on asking somone else…

Homecoming Date Help?!?

u wanna be mine?? haha jk

Ok so this weekend i have a ‘date’ with watching a movie at her place with this girl who i really like and i was planning on asking her to homecoming. I think she likes me because we always talk at school and text, talk, or hang out outside of school and every time she sees me in the hall she says hey and comes in for a hug. Problem is i think im being over paranoid about this with the fear of rejection because i really do like her.

What do you think?
Does it seem like she likes me?
Girls…have you ever rejected a guy who asked you to a dance? what would u consider the guy who ud wanna go with?
thnx!

James answers:

Sorry im a guy hahah!

I think you should… GO FOR IT!!!! Be confident!! If you like her, DO IT
`we always talk at school and text, talk, or hang out outside of school and every time she sees me in the hall she says hey and comes in for a hug` yeah, i think she likes you :)

Michael asks…

depressed..alone at home bored on homecoming night :/?

so tonight is homecoming..and i am stuck home alone…no one asked me to go with them..as usual.

i have been single for like 3 years now..my last bf only lasted 3 days anyway. and i feel like i am on of those girls that guys would be embarrassed to date, because they flirt sometimes, but thats it.

i was hoping this one guy would ask me to homecoming, he was flirting a lot..and he didn’t ask me, now he is not flirting anymore either. and me and my bff just broke apart as friends…because she was being a *****, and it included the guy i wanted to go with tonight.

i have a lot of depression problems..i also cut. and i just have low self asteam, and tonight i am really bummed out.

how can i feel better? and how can i get a bf?? people tell me i am pretty sometimes..and i am funny, i dont smell bad. why cant i get a bf? :(
rosey: thanks lol..but i dont cut because of guys..well most cases. its usually family problems :(

James answers:

Honey,I know EXACTLY how you feel, believe me. You feel that you don’t have anyone and you feel like a social outcast. I’ve been there, I’m still in that position. But what I do is I just play my music as loud as I can, I be the person I am and I learn how to make myself happy. You will have times like this when you feel like you have nobody, but you do. Trust me. And the bf thing, don’t worry about it honey! I’m single too! But I believe that the right guy will come around when the time is right. Just know that you are not alone. I didn’t get to go to homecoming either. So I just brush it off and keep going :) It gets hard but in the end it’ll be better! You WILL find someone who you can be with, you WILL find light in the darkness. Just be patient. =)

Chris asks…

Newlywed Game for Homecoming Court?

This year as a game for the homecoming court we’re doing a Newlywed Game. It will be like the girls are behind a divider and we ask the guys a question about them. The guys write down there best guess and the girls write the answer and then show it from behind the divider. Its really funny but I need some ideas for questions!

here are some example questions;
How much does your date weigh?
When is your dates birthday?
How long does it take your date to get ready in the morning?

James answers:

The Newlywed Game is still in print. It is published by Endless Games and is probably sitting on the shelf of your nearest chain store. If you don’t want to spend the money for a game, you could watch the series on GSN and use those questiions.

Chris asks…

Please help with this girl I don’t know what to do and I’m scared to mess up?

So there is this girl who I met over 2 years ago. When we first met it was super awakward because my friend introduced us and I was really nervous because I had what I guess u could call a crush on her and during the intro I kinda messed up with my words and was super embarresed. We didn’t talk for a year because I was so embarresed and people made fun of both me and her for it. Then finally we talked once and it wasn’t to weird I still liked her alot way more then anyone else I’d ever met. I didn’t understand how I felt but then through talking with my friend and describing how I felt I realized I love her. It seemed so weird to me because I think all that “love at first sight” stuff is stupid bur I think it happened to me. Recently I have been building up our relationship but it’s still really weak. I maneged to work up the courage to ask her to homecoming and I got a confusing answer. She said she would go with me but she’s no going because she has plans else where that night that she’s had for a while( which I know is true) our relationship is still weak and I want to make it stronger I have never loved someone more in my life and I really wish I could just tell her that. What is the best way to build a relationship with someone who you have no classes with and rarely get a good chance to talk just the 2 of us. We are friends on facebook but don’t have her number. She means the world to me any advice would be helpful

James answers:

Ditto on the last answer I gave you for this question. Good luck.

Mark asks…

How do i make this girl my girlfriend?

I started liking this girl at the end of seventh grade. she didn’t know that i liked her, and when she signed my yearbook she put her email address in it and said keep in touch. I talked to her a lot over that summer and i asked her out. She said no, and stopped talking to me for like a month. I friended her on facebook, and we talked for like an hour or 2 a night for a couple weeks, and i asked her out again. she said no. we still talked just not as much. we didnt have any classes together at school so i never talked to her other than on facebook. By like november i asked her out again and she blocked me. i didnt talk to her until march when she apoligized for ‘being such a *****’. i was like its ok. She was flirting with me more than ever after that, and we talked for longer than ever. i asked her out again and she said no. in about may or so i ended up writing her a song and putting it on my youtube. i messaged her a link of it and she just made fun of me for it. i felt like crap nd didnt talk to her until september. that was last month now. we are both Freshman in highschool now. we have a couple of classes together, and she kinda pretends like she hates me, but i know that shes kidding because once in a while she calls me or we hang out.
I am having a halloween party and she said that she will think about coming, and the next week we have homecoming, so i have a bunch of things to ask her out for. how to i ask her out again so she will want to say yes and will want to go out with me but wont be annoyin lik i was before?

James answers:

Let her come to you, you’ve asked her out countless of times and still she turns out down, even though she flirted with you, which really doesn’t make much sense. You should ask her why she doesn’t want to date you and why she flirts but still turns you down. If I were you, I’d move on and find someone else, if she really wants you, she’ll come to you :) But if you want to ask her out again, just let her know how you feel about her and tell her that you really would love it if she was your girlfriend, maybe have like a fake key and say “This is the key to my heart” or something :P I don’t think you’re being annoying. You’re just not giving up because you like her, plus she flirted with you, so.

Good luck :) to the both of you

Thomas asks…

Confused about a girl..?

So there is this girl I like and it its kind of a long story, but here it goes. So I was introduced to her by my friend and his girlfriend and, we all went on a date to a bowling alley. At first I didn’t talk to her at all, then we kind of got the ball rolling, and she kind of seemed interested in me. She later told my friends girlfriend that she thought I was cute and kind of liked me. The next week she asked if I wanted to go over her house to watch a movie and I said yes. Well when I went over we couldn’t watch the movie because her TV room was being painted, so we just sat in her room and talked and she told me a lot about her, things that she said she never really talked about. We lied on the floor and talked some more and she would do little things like tickle me which seemed like she was somewhat interested in me. Then she said “you would probably never date someone like me huh?” and I was kind of taken aback by this because I liked her, but i wasn’t sure how she really felt and I thought it was too early to be going out with her as boyfriend and girlfriend. Nevertheless, the next day I texted her against my better judgment telling her that I liked her. She told me that she thought I was sweet and cute, but she wanted to give it some more time and get to know me better, and I thought that was a good idea as well. After that we talked a little more but it seemed kind of awkward, as if she wasn’t really keeping her end of the conversation up. Then I found out that she asked some guy to her homecoming and he declined because he already had a date. Then she was telling my friends girlfriend that she hated being single and wanted a boyfriend. Needless to say I was confused when I found out about this. So I didn’t really talk to her much for about a week after this, because not to be a jerk or anything, but I don’t need any more crap in my life and there are other girls out there. Then she asked me to go to her homecoming and I said I would go with her. Confusing right? Oh no, it gets better. Then two days later she tells me that she doesn’t want to go anymore because “dances just aren’t her thing.” Now we are hanging out this weekend and probably going to the mall. I don’t know what to think or do and I am so confused. Sometimes she will text me exited and happy and other times it will be one word answers like “ok” or “yup”. I know she has problems at home, her parents are alcoholics and that might play into it, but still I don’t know what to think and I am worried about this weekend.

James answers:

Women are almost always conflicted about relationships, as are most guys. Is making a commitment worth limiting your options is one of the big questions. She WANTS a relationship apparently, but isn’t sure if you’re her best option or not. It sounds to me like you’re more than friends, but not quite dating. If you’re interested in her, feel free to ask her to do something together. Maybe if you’re interesting enough, she’ll re-evaluate how much she’s willing to commit to you.

By the way, texting is a notoriously bad way to figure out how people feel about you. Short texts often mean that the person is distracted, not that the person doesn’t want to talk to you.

Ruth asks…

Do you think this relationship would work out?

So.. theres a guy. My best friend (we’re both juniors in high school and the guys a freshman in collage now) introduced me to him about a year ago. My best friend and him went on one or two dates, but my friend didnt wanted to go out with him at the time… This friend though.. hashas also been know to have some commitment problems, not that shes slutty.. she just makes the relationships difficult.
So now, a year later, i recently started talking to the guy again. We both didnt want a relationship so we’d hang out and do relationship stuff for about a month or so. I figured this was fine since my friend had been asking me “So do you think blahblah is cute? would you go out with him??” making it seem like it was okay for me to. So i told her how we were basically friends with benefits, and we had had sex and done other stuff. She seemed fine with it when i told her, and happy when i told her he was taking me to my homecoming dance.
But now… for some reason the guy randomly stopped texted me ever since the dance(which was a month ago) I never got a reason why and yea i do miss him, but im completely confused why… Because usually he’d text me asking if i wanted to hang out with him, but he doesnt anymore, and i tried texting him one other time but he never replied to i just figured that he didnt want to hang out with me anymore so ive stopped texting him.
But noowww… when my best friend asked me over text if i still talk to him i said that i didnt, and then she said she was asking because she likes him.(This same senario has actually happened twice..)So i was shocked and confused…and the next day.. she posts on his facebook that they should hang out blah blah blah and now apparently theyre seeing eachother.. and my best friends a virgin.. and i was wondering if you would think this relationship would work out? im not going to come between them at all, i just want an opinion. Since i dont think a girl would want to loose her virginity to a guy who her best friend has already done it with before.

There is no way to know for sure, but if she is in high school and she is in college, probably not.

Steven asks…

How can I talk to her more?

OK. I’m 14 and I really like this girl. I want to ask her out sometime soon. I still have not ever had a girlfriend and I’m a little inexperienced. I’m also absolutely terrible at talking to girls because I’m kind of shy. I can’t really find a reason to start a conversation with any girl and can’t keep one going if it ever starts. I did write something in her yearbook that said “If I ever become as hot as my brother I’ll give you a call.” (Her group of friends and a bunch of other girls think my brother is hot.)Her friend told me she liked me so I think I have a shot but I need to talk to her more. She is in 2 of my classes but I feel weird asking what the homework was. Here’s an REALLY long story of it all if you want to read it.
I really just need talking tips though.
Thanks.

and I almost forgot:
Should I wait to ask her out till homecoming (Oct. 20-something)?
Or is that way too long?
Any other tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

James answers:

Don’t be shy. Haha pretend shes just a friend, try to ignore that you have feelings for her when you talk to her, this might make it easier. If that doesn’t work, try easing into by maybe writing her a note. If that’s too cheesy for you then the only option you really have is to suck it up and go up to her. If you don’t want to ask her out just yet, maybe you should get her number and get to know her a little bit more. And if sources are telling you that she likes you too, i’m sure she’ll be just as nervous as you. So don’t beat yourself up over this. And sure ask her to homecoming, but don’t wait that long to get her number or talk to her.
