I'm 13, so I don't know a whole lot about dating, but I really like this guy. I want to get to know him better, but I don't know how we'd get together. Like, what would I ask him? I get so nervous around him and I CAN'T stop thinking about him! I don't know if he likes me and I'm afraid to ask. I don't have much of a self esteem, so if I do as him out and he says no, my self esteem will take a beating! http://www.myspace.com/thekatesteinberg -Please look at all of the pictures. I have natural VERY curly long, brown hair and green eyes with a blue/purple ring around it. I don't consider myself too pretty or skinny. Do you think he might like me? My friend said he was flirting with me, but I don't believe her.
Thanks so much!!!!!!
Katie

I had a look at your site. If I was you I would be so worried, I'd think hmm classically beautiful face, life could be worse. I might also think I wonder what boys think!
Seriously though, try to forget that you actually like him when your around/near him. One of the most attractive things is someone comfortable with themself.
Besides boys also like a bit of a chase, so be a bit more distant, but still show casual intrest.
One thing that you have noticed is your eyes, if he doesn't notice that you have nice eyes, it would be his loss. If any bloke noticeds your eyes, normally means something!
Every morning just spend five seconds to look in the mirror at your eyes, give a slight smile, then carry on you day with a happy glow.

Katie-You look great. You should have a fantastic self esteem. Personally, I wouldn't recommend asking out the guy. If he's interested in you, he will ask you out. You shouldn't have to be the one to chase him. That's just not how the game is played.
Focus on your schoolwork and your grades. You should be thinking about what you want to do to support yourself after you get out of school. The last thing that you need to happen is for you to get pregnant. Condoms and birth control pills often fail. They aren't nearly as effective as people will lead you to believe.

Katie, I think you are a very pretty young lady. The problem is that at 13, we get tongue tied, especially around the guys that we like. Prepare. Ask him questions. People love to talk about themselves. Compliment him. "You really have nice hair or eyes"...nothing too personal to start with. Then ask questions about something he's probably interested in (like sports). Have a couple ready so if the first one bombs, you have more. (school subject, siblings, teacher, parents, etc). Good luck.

U are very pretty with curly or straight hair. Don't worry about what guy likes you or which one doesn't. You need to stay focused in your school right now. A good guy will come along and you won't have to be guessing if he likes you or not. U shouldnt have low self esteem, I dont see why.

Learning to take rejection is just part of growing up and devloping a tough skin. You have nothing to lose; if you ask him out you'll either be pleasantly surprised, or learn that it's time to look for the next potential boyfriend. Don't make the mistake I made of fixating on one guy and trying to force him to like you. Doesn't work. BTW, you're pretty enough... Don't worry!

Yeah, get to know him. It may be hard but eventually you'll be a pro at it, ask him if he has any pets, what sports he plays etc. (don't go overboard though!) And if he asks why because he most likely will, just say "No reason, just wonderin'" Trust me it works, I'm one of the most shy girls, but this works every time I want to learn about someone, but don't ask him where he lives...trust me >.<
Good luck,
Ash

First of all you are young and have plenty of time to worry about boys.Second don't ask boys out that makes you sound desperate.Let the boy ask you out.Boys at this age only want to get in your pants and then talk about you.Save yourself because once you give it up you can never get it back.Stay a virgin until you marry.

you're too young to be wanting to date people, don't ask him out!!!!!!! do you want to end up pregnant? i don't think so, it's okay to have a crush on someone just don't ask the guy out
