"Q: There&amp;#039;s this guy I&amp;#039;d really like to ask out. I&amp;#039;ve never asked a guy out before. What&amp;#039;s the best way to do it without embarrassing myself or him?   A: Be straight with him. If you know the guy pretty well ask him if he&amp;#039;d like to do something you know he likes---play tennis, go to an action movie, shoot some pool. If you&amp;#039;ve just met him, talk to him enough to get a sense of what he likes to do, then ask him questions based on his interests. To avoid surprising him or embarrassing him, ask him out when his friends aren&amp;#039;t around. Good luck!  Q; I&amp;#039;m a 15 year-old girl who just went out on a date with the guy of her dreams. I thought the date was going really well up until the last moment. When we pulled up in front of my house, he made NO MOVE to kiss me goodnight! I just sat there in his front seat feeling like an idiot and then finally just said &amp;quot;bye&amp;quot; and walked to the front door myself. Did I do something wrong?   A: There are a couple of things to consider before you jump to the conclusion that you &amp;quot;did something wrong.&amp;quot; Though it&amp;#039;s generally considered &amp;quot;polite&amp;quot; for your date to walk you to the front door, there aren&amp;#039;t any guidelines when it comes to kissing on the first date.   He may have had several reasons for not kissing you goodnight. One is that he simply may have been nervous! He may also have felt that he didn&amp;#039;t know you well enough yet...His reasons probably had nothing to do with anything you may have said or done.   The next time you see him, let him know that you had a good time and would like to go out again sometime. Chances are , if you get to know him better he&amp;#039;ll feel more comfortable with you (as well as you with him.)   Also, remember that kissing isn&amp;#039;t the only measure of how a guy feels about you or for whether or not he enjoyed your company. It&amp;#039;ll happen when the timing is right! Q. I&amp;#039;m totally crushing on my best bud&amp;#039;s brother. Only problem is, I&amp;#039;m considered part of the &amp;quot;cool&amp;quot; clique and he&amp;#039;s a &amp;quot;dork.&amp;quot; My best bud will understand me, but I&amp;#039;m not sure about my other friends, and I don&amp;#039;t want to ruin my rep. Should I go after him? -Opposites attract, Ohio   A. The movies are filled with love stories about couples from completely different worlds, whether it&amp;#039;s Romeo and Juliet or Can&amp;#039;t Hardly Wait. And despite all the problems their relationships face, things always seem to turn out with a happily-ever-after ending. But face it-that&amp;#039;s only in the movies. It&amp;#039;s obvious that you care a lot about what your friends think (doesn&amp;#039;t everyone?), and yeah, you&amp;#039;ll probably get teased if you admit that you like this guy. If he&amp;#039;s someone you really dig though, he&amp;#039;s worth it-although you&amp;#039;ll need to be ready to stick up for him when people start being uncool about you two. Bottom line: If popularity is really important to you, this is going to be tough. But if you&amp;#039;re willing to take a chance, you could end up with a great guy-and a happy ending.  Q. Whenever my boyfriend and I go somewhere or do something, he dishes the details to his friends. The next day at school, his friends come to my locker and talk about it and laugh. It makes me really uncomfortable. What can I do to make my BF stop? -Sick of it, Ontario, Canada   A. Alot of guys tell their mates, &amp;quot;Oh, guess what I did last night?&amp;#039; because they don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s a big problem. But your boyfriend isn&amp;#039;t the person who&amp;#039;s being bothered about it later-you&amp;#039;re the one who&amp;#039;s stuck handling that. If he really cares about you, all you have to do is say, &amp;quot;If you really, really care about me, and if hanging out with me is special to you, then you won&amp;#039;t turn around and tell your mates everything.&amp;quot; He&amp;#039;s really horrible if he doesn&amp;#039;t listen, and if he does it again, I think you should dump him right away. Q. I&amp;#039;ve been going out with this guy for three weeks. Lately, he&amp;#039;s been wanting to kiss. All my friends have kissed guys before, but I&amp;#039;m not comfortable with it yet. What should I do? -Uneasy, California   A. If you&amp;#039;re not comfortable with it, then you really shouldn&amp;#039;t be doing it. When you feel good and ready and you feel that you&amp;#039;re with someone who makes you want to try a kiss, then do it. But don&amp;#039;t ever be forced into it-by this guy or by pressure from your friends-because you don&amp;#039;t want to have any regrets. And just because your friends have already kissed boys doesn&amp;#039;t make them better than you. (They might even wish they had waited.) You&amp;#039;ll be better off because you&amp;#039;re doing it your own way. Trust me. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
