" Q: How should I act around a guy I kind of like? I have no clue. A: Just be yourself \u2014 really! I know you&amp;#039;ve probably heard that a million times before, and I also know it can be difficult to act like yourself around a guy you really like. Seriously though, guys love to be around girls who are comfortable in their own skin, and who also have their own opinions, thoughts, tastes and interests. Some girls make the mistake of just agreeing with everything a guy they like says, or they change themselves (the way they dress, the music they listen to, etc.) to try to relate better to their crush. Instead, show your crush who you really are while paying him some extra attention. You don&amp;#039;t have to act super-flirty if that&amp;#039;s not &amp;quot;you&amp;quot; but smiling at him, looking him in the eyes, and finding ways to touch him can let him know that you&amp;#039;re interested. Q: I&amp;#039;m scared about being in my first relationship\u2014when a guy likes me back, I always chicken out! Am I too picky? Or have I just not found the right guy? A: I think you&amp;#039;ve actually answered this question yourself: You&amp;#039;re scared about being in a relationship \u2014 and that&amp;#039;s totally fine! It&amp;#039;s okay to like guys but just not be ready to date, and you&amp;#039;ll get there when the time is right. Every girl is different. Sometimes, if you&amp;#039;re not feeling ready to kiss a guy or even open up to him emotionally, the idea of getting close can make you super-nervous. Trust your gut, and remember that \u2014 when you are ready to date, a good guy will be willing to take things as slowly as you want.  Q: Today my boyfriend put his arm around me for the first time, and I felt like I was going to faint! My heart was beating like crazy, and I was afraid to move. Is this normal? A: This is so normal. I remember feeling, literally, the exact same way. The funny thing is, he probably felt this way too! First of all, I bet it took a lot of nerve for him to even put his arm around you. Second, I wouldn&amp;#039;t doubt that his arm was uncomfortable or even asleep \u2014 but he was probably too scared to move too! If you liked having his arm around you, next time feel free to nuzzle into him, get in a position that feels good for you, and even whisper to him, Hey, are you comfortable? This will let him know that you&amp;#039;re happy he&amp;#039;s touching you, and it will help you both feel more relaxed so you can enjoy the moment.
