Dear Dish-It,
Guys keep looking at me and they smile and talk to me and all. But it seems like they never ask me out or anything and sometimes they are really mean to me. And when a guy looks at you, what should you do, because I don't know what to do when they smile at me or look at me? How do I get guys to pay attention to me more?

Dear aznchick24,
Girl, I bet you're a total hottie. There are a lot of hot girls at my school, but the weird thing is they don't get too many dates. And sometimes, they have no love life at all. Why? Because they're so hot and beautiful that they scare away all the boys! And if the boys aren't scared, they think you're already taken or too busy, and they just don't bother because they think they don't have a shot at such a hottie. The good news is, boys get bolder as they get older. Those dates will come and pretty soon, your social calendar will be packed with dates!

As for how to act when a guy is checking you out, just act like yourself. When someone smiles at you, you smile back, right? Well, the same rules apply here too. Just tune into the signals and meet a smile with a smile, a "what's up?" with a "what's up... " And as for getting guys to pay more attention to you, it sounds like you've already got that covered.

Got a burning question? Need some love directions? Thinking about stuff like teen suicide, depression, sex, low self-esteem, boyfriends, girlfriends, losing old friends, bullying or peer pressure, but are too scared to ask your parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It. Just remember, if you hang out in chat with other Kidzworld members who know you by your nick, you might want to use a secret nick when you write in. That way, no one will ever know it's you. Remember though, Dish-It gets tons of letters a day, so she can't answer 'em all. But keep checking the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you want to share? We'll dish them up too.
