Text Trouble

So last month a bunch of my guy friends got a hold of my cell number and passed it out to their friends...The next week I got texts from a guy who goes to a different school, but I knew his name and hadn't seen him before. He was sending me stuff like hey, you're my gurl and stuff like that and flirting thru texts!! It's so annoying and confusing because when I was like we should go to the movies, he would always be busy! I don't know what to do! How can I like a guy that I've never met before?????

When I read this, a red flag went up. You don't know this guy, and for ALL you know, he could be a fourty year old man. I just don't think that it's safe for you to be even texting this guy, let alone meeting him. Now obviously I can't stop you from meeting him, but if you do decide to meet him, bring friends with you and when you see him, if he looks at all "not safe" just go to a movie with your buds. But if he looks okay to approach, have your friends tag along with you on the date so that you won't be alone with a guy you just met. All I'm trying to say is stay safe because there can be a lot of strange people out there.

Ok, well first of all, ask him to the movies, but let him choose the day. I hate to be negative, but if he tells you he can't do it until like next month, or if he backs out at the last minute, he probably doesn't really like you and just thinks it's funny. i know it's confusing, but if this guy goes to another school and never seems to have time for you, you should probably set your sights on someone in your own school. You may like him now, but it seems like you haven't really gotten to know him yet. I don't mean to make your crush seem trivial, but you probably like him just because he's shown interest in you. If he's flirting with random girls over texts, he's probably a bit of a jerk.

I like this guy who's in my French class at school and I think he likes me because he likes to go out of his way to talk to me and he laughs a lot around me. How can I be sure he likes me and if he does, how can I get him to ask me out or something?
-- Confused Crush

I know this sounds dumb and cliched, but just act friendly to him and maybe ask him to go to the movies if ur going w/ a group of people. Not in a date way. Just say something like, "Are you going to the movies w/ this, that, and the other person." That'll show him ur interested. There's no fool proof way to get a guy to ask u out. Sometimes, they just need a little help, and sometimes, they just can't work up the nerve.

I like guys. That's not the problem. But guys just don't seem to like me. What should I do to get them to notice me? So I asked the experts:
The Experts say...I know that we said you can ask any question, but we sortof didn't want advice questions. But we do have another blog that we are currently creating for advice called Ask Aubrey where these question are great. We'll post that url soon!
So that's why I'm here. Can you help me?

Well Hopeless Romantic, all I can say is be yourself around them. Don't try to get their attention by acting out because that could send them the wrong message. Just try to become their friend and see where it goes from their. Tell me how things turn out!
