Wish I had one:
“I really like him but I don't know what to do!”
Hey Terra,
Ok. I really like this guy but I don't know what to do. I get the feeling from his friends that he likes me too. I've only had one b/f ever and I get really nervous around him. How do I get him to notice me or how can I tell if he likes me??Lost
Dear Lost,
How does he act when he's with you? Friendly? Interested in what you have to say? Or does he not even notice that you're there? Look at the signals you get from him and forget about the boyfriend stuff for a while. If the signals are positive, just concentrate on getting to know him better as a friend and giving him a chance to get to know you.
The rest will happen exactly the way it's supposed to.
In friendship,
Terra
