Dear cp11434,

There are probably a million signs that let you know a boy is interested in you, but they usually require a little investigative work on your part. Frequent looks across the room may mean a boy is crushin' - or it may mean that he has a sore neck that he's trying to stretch out. Also, if a boy is making a bigger effort to talk to you in class, walk past you in the halls or hang with your friends, he could be lookin' to ask you out. The best way to find out if a guy is interested though, is to just ask. If you're too shy, then get a friend to ask - but the most direct approach is usually the most effective.

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.
