Dear Dish-It, I'm Too Old Fashioned

Advice for Kids and Teens

Dear Dish-It, is here to whisper "ttyl after I've thought about this some more".

Dear Dish-It,

There is this guy I like in my reading class and I think he likes me too because my friend and I catch him staring at me all the time. Here's the problem. Neither of us has the courage to approach the other. I think he's shy and I'm old fashioned and like to let the guy ask the girl. I need help ASAP because there is a school dance coming up and I need to know what to do. Please help!

Dear Skatergurl,

It looks like you're gonna have to leave your grandma ways behind and ask this cutie out if you want a date for the dance. Random eye contact from across the room is not an invitation to go out with you. If you sit back and wait for the guy to ask you out, you're gonna be waiting for a long time. So take some deep breaths, walk up to the hottie from your reading class and invite him to the dance. He'll probably say yes and you'll have avoided sitting by the phone waiting for his call!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
