" Read His Body Language You can definitely tell who&amp;#039;s interested in you and who&amp;#039;s platonic by paying attention to how a guy moves around you. When I was in high school, my thing was to get as close as humanly possible to a girl and just make her have to kiss me! You do the hug that&amp;#039;s too close, where your mouth is close to hers and you kinda feel it out a little bit.  Get Out There You&amp;#039;re gonna meet tons of different people throughout your life, and it&amp;#039;s totally worth it to stick your neck out a little bit if you like someone. Even when you get shot down, it seems really devastating, but it&amp;#039;s not in the long run. That&amp;#039;s one of the things I really wish I had been able to tell myself in high school: &amp;quot;Man, it&amp;#039;s not really the end of the world that you&amp;#039;re single. It&amp;#039;s your time to figure out what&amp;#039;s right for you.&amp;quot; Take a Chance Sometimes the person that is best for you is the person right under your nose. I wanted to have a girlfriend in high school, and I know I would have treated a girl well, but instead I was just friends with a lot of girls. They ended up telling me later on, &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re so perfect together,&amp;quot; but at the time I wasn&amp;#039;t the cool-enough guy. It&amp;#039;s important to look past superficial stuff, like whether the guy hangs out with popular kids. It&amp;#039;s worth it to go after the black sheep! Make Out if You Want To me, it&amp;#039;s not really that big of a deal. I think that it&amp;#039;s cool when people can feel free with that kind of thing. I&amp;#039;m pretty much a prude other than that, so I don&amp;#039;t feel bad about myself. I remember my first kisses with a lot of people, and they&amp;#039;re rad experiences. And you don&amp;#039;t have to really take it to that next level because that&amp;#039;s what keeps it exciting. Head to the next page to get more dating tips from Pete!  Be Crystal Clear Being straightforward is sometimes one of the sexiest, coolest things because there&amp;#039;s a lot of people who play a lot of games, you know? It&amp;#039;s kind of thrilling when you&amp;#039;re like, &amp;quot;Does this girl like me? Does she not like me?&amp;quot; But when that goes on forever and that&amp;#039;s the only basis you have for being attracted to the person, it can be really frustrating. There&amp;#039;s definitely like a two-week/month window and then that quick attraction can be over.  Take a Break from Breaking Up The thing that was superfrustrating in high school for me was the breakup/make-up thing. I dated this girl and it was like we broke up every week and then got back together. Finally, that became the routine -- it was a very juvenile relationship.  Call a Truce I dated this girl and every time we would get in a fight, I&amp;#039;d freak out, yelling and arguing with her. About halfway through, she would just flash me the peace sign -- it would always make things better because she made it into kind of a joke with me. In retrospect, I realized that she knew the thing we were fighting over was kind of silly and trivial. It demonstrates to the guy that you&amp;#039;re the bigger person, and in your head don&amp;#039;t have to feel like you&amp;#039;re surrendering. The Ex-Factor Introducing your new boyfriend to your ex can be a really good thing. There&amp;#039;s a way to do it so that he can feel okay about it and you can still be honest and be friends with your exes. If you&amp;#039;re holding your current boyfriend&amp;#039;s hand and making everyone know that you&amp;#039;re with him when they meet, that can build a guy up. But if you&amp;#039;re flirting with the old guy and then disappear with him, it can be a bummer.  --&amp;amp;gt; to find out what turns Pete on! Fashion, Schmashion I&amp;#039;m a sneakers and jeans kind of guy, so I love when girls feel comfortable in that. Sometimes the trends that girls think are really cool or hot are not really cool or hot. I was really not into the whole leg warmer thing -- that was one of my pet peeves that really drove me crazy! Scentual Healing I&amp;#039;m a big scent guy -- sometimes it&amp;#039;s the thing that can drive you wild. I like individual scents on a girl, so you always recognize her and you keep her separate from other people in your head. I really love Egyptian musk. I&amp;#039;ve even gone to the mall and sprayed perfumes and just smelled them. [Laughs] I&amp;#039;m creepy. So creepy. May the Force Be With You I personally am kind of geeky, so I love any girl who can sit through Star Wars and not fall asleep. And if you know all the characters, it&amp;#039;s really sexy to me.  LOL I like girls with a good sense of humor. I think that sometimes girls, especially in high school, get embarrassed too easily. If you fall down and have a good laugh about it instead of pretending it didn&amp;#039;t happen, that&amp;#039;s a great way to make it through life and have guys be attracted to you. Any girl that can make me laugh I definitely want to hang out with all the time. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
