Darn tootin'!


I have a crush on this hot guy in band, and I think he knows. How do I find out without asking straight up?

BILL Does he drum along to a song called "I Know You Like Me"? That could be a clue. Or, you can ask indirect questions. Next time you see him, ask what kinds of lyrics he would use to describe a girl he likes. If the lyrics kind of describe you, you might have your answer.

Or in this case, toss your cake and keep anyone else from having it. Talk it over with your friend.

DAVE While your friend doesn't seem rational to you, that's not the point. It's how she feels, and you should respect that. Decide what's more important--taking a chance on this guy or caring about your friend's feelings. Eventually, she'll move on to another dude and you should be free to do as you please but, until then, friends should come first.

BILL This is about respect, which is important when you're dating someone. If he doesn't respect your wishes (not to mention school rules), then he's a pretty selfish dude. Tell him his behavior makes you uncomfortable. If he persists, show him the rules of PDB--Public Display of Breaking-up.

We have pretty strict PDA rules at my school. My BF tries to hold my hand and put his arm around me, even when teachers are around. I tell him it's not cool, but he says he doesn't care. It makes me uncomfortable. What should I say to him?
