Scoring

MOSTLY A'S Totally Clueless clue·less  
adj.
Lacking understanding or knowledge.


clueless
Adjective

Slang helpless or stupid

Adj. 1.
 

It's not that this guy doesn't like you, but it's more as a friend. Nothing wrong with that, but don't waste another minute of crush energy on him. Your crush is going nowhere fast if the guy in question acts indifferent. Don't take his blase bla·sé  
adj.
1. Uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence.

2. Unconcerned; nonchalant: had a blasé attitude about housecleaning.

3. Very sophisticated.
 attitude personally. You can bet he's an equal-opportunity offender--he's likely colder than a milkshake headache to every girl in his orbit. He's probably one of those late-bloomer boys who simply doesn't see girls in that way just yet. He has no clue you're crushing on him because his head is stuck in PS2 planet. Since he's clearly not giving you anything back, don't hang on hoping, telling yourself he really doesn't mean it or that he'll come around next week, next month or next year. Say to yourself, "OK, this guy is not crush material, so I'm moving on "I'm Moving On" is the debut single by Scott Cain, winner of the 2002 Australian Popstars series. The lyrics deal with the singer's decision to end a relationship in which he feels he is being emotionally abused. ." Next!

MOSTLY B'S Looking Good

This crush could go in either direction. He definitely likes and respects you, but he might not be ready to ask you out. Maybe he's trying to read your signals. Many boys are shy and won't take a major risk (like asking you out officially) until they're positive they're not going to get rejected. Others don't have much dating experience, so they relate to the girls they like at a lingering getting-to-know-you stage. This can be cool--what's better than eventually having a BF who's also one of your BFFs? It's possible your crush will decide you guys are better off as just friends. If so, you'll notice that he treats you pretty much the same as he does his male crew or might even mention the fact that he likes another girl. As long as he's not acting like he's diggin' your gravy one minute, then pulling a "hey, good buddy" stunt the next, it's all good.

MOSTLY C'S All Systems Go

Your crush is giving you loud-and-clear signals. First off, he's showing you you're important to him--e-mailing you right back, paying you props, worrying about you when you rub out on your roller skates roller skates nplpatines mpl de rueda

. Another good sign: He shows genuine interest in you. This is good because, when a guy is vibin' on you, he pays attention to what you're all about. So why hasn't he asked you out? Well, he has suggested some group dates. That means he's probably trying to gauge your feelings and wants to hang out, no pressure attached. Just be your fabulous self, and let things progress naturally. The best summer romances are the ones that aren't rushed.
