guy troubles

[willowfairy]

hey! how do i impress this guy i like? nothing seems to work.... :dis: so, what do i do? :D

You don't need to do anything to impress a guy you like. Just be yourself. :) He'll like you for you or you'll both move on to greener pastures. :)

Quit trying so hard. People are much more attracted to and impressed by genuine people who KNOW that they are worth getting to know. If it's meant to be, it will happen.

i know, i know. :D but it's so hard!!! when i'm by him i just cannot think straight. and i don't know what to say either. and it doesn't help when jessica keeps asking him annoying q's (this all takes place on the bus :)) "do you like jessi?" "no" "why not?" "just because" "but there has to be a reason why you don't like her" "shut up!!" etc... GRRRR!! :mad:

That must suck. If I were you, I'd pull my friend aside and tell her to stop asking those questions. I've been there; it's embarrassing as heck. :(

In grade 9 gym class one day I stood there bewildered as one of my friends asked every guy in the class one by one if they'd go out with me. Apparently one of her friends told her I was a snot and she thought'd be funny. I remember how shameful I felt with each guy giving me a dirty look and one finally saying "don't you get it? no one likes you", to me, and well it went worse from there. I carried that all through highschool, along with some profane nicknames I won't mention. Well, to say the least, it sucked. I know how you feel.

If the guy is young he might be too shy to admit this stuff, or he might not even know for sure what he's feeling. I mean, guys do mature slower then girls right, and you're about 12? Maybe just stay friends with him till he figures things out, after asking your friend to stop. Your friend is making you look desperate and that is *NOT* cool.

too bloody right! i went through the guy version of the same thing at about the same age, it was miserable. none of the girls i liked liked me back and i quickly learned to keep my mouth shut about it. and your friend backing the boys into a corner doesn't help a damm bit. boys that age would rather be skinned alive than publicy admitting they liked a girl no matter what they feel inside.

[Myst]

Oh, and another thought. If *you* think your friend doing that was embarassing, imagine how embarassed *he* felt! So first and foremost have a talk with your friend and ask her to stop that behaviour. Maybe he does think you're cool but is too embarassed right now...

"Maybe he does think you're cool but is too embarassed right now..."

at that age very likely you're right.

Stick to the basics

Strong eye contact, lots of smiles, generous laughter and agressive body language. Everyone is beautiful when they're laughing!

Don't worry about being to obvious, speaking for most men, we are largely oblivious to these signs, so HEAP IT ON

Get naked, he ought to be pretty impressed with that. ;)

Joking....Illuminatus has some pretty good advice there. Just be yourself and have a good time with him.

[Mariposa De La Luna]

Oh poor twitterpated girl! I feel for you. :)

Just be yourself and be patient, boys know nothing about those things at that age. By the time you're 16 I'm sure you'll have to beat them back with a stick because they'll all be asking you out :D

[willowfairy]

thanx guys. i never thought of it that way (how embarressed he is) i'm on a mission!! :D monday will be interesting.

[Acie]

I have to agree with others here. You need only be yourself, that should be enough. We are at our best when we are true to ourselves. :wave:
