Dear Dish-It,
I just found out that the guy I like, likes me! That was good to hear! But guess what? Another girl in my class likes him to. She keeps fighting with me. I stop but she won't. Now she is acting like she's all that, just to get my boyfriend to like her. Please help me!!!

Dear Elisha,
Girl, your boy already knows that you're all that or he wouldn't tell you as much. He has told you, right? Cuz, if you only know this through word of mouth, then you need to confirm it quick! Either way, whether the boy is yours or not, you've only got one way to play this. Be cool! If that girl in your class is tryin' to act like she's all that, your boy will see through it. And if he doesn't, then figure that he ain't all that either.

Dear Dish-It,
There is this guy, Tommy. I've liked him for three years now. We have been friends for a while cuz his sister and my brother used to go out. I just seem to connect with him. But since the beginning the year, the feeling I have is stronger. I mean, I can't talk to him without being nervous. I used to talk to him on the phone all the time. Now whenever I call, and he answers, I hang up. Im scared to tell him. Everyone says he likes me, but I don't believe them. How do I tell him, I like him, without being mushy?

Dear *Lauren*,
Just be yourself girlfriend! After all, if your friends are right and this hottie likes you, he likes you for who you are. No pretense. No posing or pretendin' to be something you're not. If your friends are wrong and he's not crushin' on ya, then you wanna get him to like the real you... Not some fake you. No matter what girl, hang out with him as friends and everything else will happen naturally.

So gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 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 the 'rents? 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 wanna 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 checkin' the column cuz chances are, she'll be answering something very similar to your question soon. Thanks! Got some words of wisdom you wanna share? We'll dish them up too.
