Sincerely,BettyRules

I Definately Agree With Betty. If You Are Going To Let Some Guy Be The Center Of Your World,Then Your Friends Might Get Aggervated. Besides, The Guy Is Supposed To Ask Out The Girl. Good Luck W!

i think you gave good advice. i should probably take it too. not that i actually talk to the guy i like, but i need to stop making him the center of my universe.

hey W, maybe if you stop trying to talk to him it'll give HIM the initiative to talk to you. Maybe he needs a push to talk to you. maybe if he sees that you're not trying to talk to him he'll think "well darn, i'll have to start talking to her if i ever want to talk to her" try it and see.

and I hate to rain on your parade but it's possible he realized he doesn't like you after all. either way, there are probably some other guys out there who are just as great, or better, than him. maybe since both of you are shy you need to find a guy whose more outgoing. opposite attract ;)

A comment for "W":

I feel your pain - it is SO hard when you're shy! Trying to find a balance between being so shy that no one talks to you, but not being too loud and obnoxious that you scare people away!

However, Betty is definitely right. If he wants to go out with you, and you have already tried a few times to get a second date (like, really gave an effort), then there is nothing else that you can do. Go on living your life and if he really wants to go out with you, he'll ask. If he doesn't, then his shyness is not worth your worrying over him.

As for the other guy, if he asks you out and you like him, I think you're fully allowed to accept. You and the first boy have not committed to eachother (clearly!), and therefore you are a free agent!

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

I agree with you bets. I read your comment W and i'm sorry to hear that your having trouble with him. But i agree with Bets, You can't base your whole life around him, you should go hang out with your girl friends and have a good time with other friends and if he asks you out again then great! And as far as the other guy is concerned, if you don't like him as much as the guy you already dated then don't date him but if you feel like you really should then thats really up to you. I wouldn't date them both at the same time though if i were you. I hope everything works out for you.

is he relly all that cuet
look for some other guy
some are way better then
others hope this helps

W, Betty is right! If he waits to long then he should miss his chance with you. I mean how was the first date did you talk alot? If you guys are to shy then how do you talk to each other. If he won't take the initiative then you should. But, first give a bit of time you coming on way to strong. I have been there and done that the guy stopped liking me because he thought I was a clinger. That is a major thing guys don't like good luck best wishes.
P.S. For Betty- I love ethel and Midges comments earlier I wish they had their own blogs!

Betty, how can you say all those things about Reggie? Even if their true ( I am not saying they are or aren't you known him longer.) But, still he has enough problems as it is right now. You know everyone thinking he is the prankster not having any girls to talk about himself to. ( ;) okay that last bit was sarcastic sorry reg) Betty, your the person who talk to him after everyone was mean. You are an example to girls. I look up to you. your fan always
P.S. I know your mad but, being you know how to forgive I hope my honesty doesn't make you mad if so then I am sorry

hi W hmm big time trouble i think u must give him time and like u said he also likes u and all then i think u must just enjoy ur life and go on ahead with the other guy so tht wen this guy see u he will also want to ask u out go out casually and not like a date just as frnds
and u no wat talk to the shy guy as frnds and if he is really interested he will ask u out frst anfd dont be so desperate to go out with him and give him a break hav fun in life and njoy
i completely agree with betty
loadzzzzzz of love

I completely agree with Betty here-guys love a challenge, so allow him to pursue you, not the other way around. Yeah, it is the 21st century, but still, it feels good for the guy to do most of it so that he's a gentleman. If he's not man enough to stick up for himself and ask you out on his own, then he'll just keep evading the subject the whole time you're dating. In the end, you have to find a guy who knows that you're special enough and that he'll have to work to get you. :D

i agree with betty!!!!!!! w!

Hi Bets!! :-) My BFF's birthday is on February 6th! I'm SOOO excited!! I can't wait until her birthday party on Saturday. I may get to spend the night!!!! :D :D :D!!!!!

I totally agree with Betty. W, You need to step back and get oriented. He is not theonly thing that matters. You matter. Have fun, enjoy yourself don't get too carried away by ShyBoy:D

Take Care of Yourself,

Well, as long as we're on the subject of boys.....I need help! There's a boy who used to ride my BFF's bus. He would flirt with me on the phone all the time, and I used to have a crush on him. I don't now, but he's asked me to be his girlfriend, he rides my bus now, and Valentine's Day is coming! How do I avoid him and reject him without hurting him? Please help, Betty, you are GREAT with guy problems!

Thanks
From
Lily!

I have this crush and I always think about him. I never talk about him because I don't want people to think I like him. Then they will for sure tease me, and nobody wants to be tease.

My advice to all fellow girls:

I says that boys aren't the world. I agree with Betty, live your OWN life.

"You are beautiful, in ever single way, and words can't let you down." --Christina Aguilera

And just to clear this up, I'm not obsessed with Christina or anything. Just quoting her.

when it comes to guy's, I'm no person to ask. I can't give advice. I'm in my own littleplace stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm loosing out to a friend and videogames. not to mention the other girls who like him that are sending a whole lot of stuff myway. I don't get why they're ridding him of me fisrt. I'd say go for the one one he likes or each other. Not me. but either way. I'd have to agree on betty's advice. don't forget you.

W, Betty's right! Don't let him rule your world.Don't wait that long for him . If he really liked you , he would have asked you out again.Hang out with your friends and other people.If you like the other guy and he likes you , then if your ready , go for it. The other shy boy is not the ruler of your world.Hope this helps!

wow..........every one is posting there problems! what's up? o.k.

Bettyrules here's some advise.....

every1 is right. Ignore him....doesn't work....get mad at him. And then ignore him. Guys like him are jerks and there are no ways to stop him.

Just find your inner chill. And relax.

you only see him at school right? so then put him out of your mind....and have fun. Go to the mall

Hi Nicole!
Sorry I spelled your name wrong:S I still don't know about the calendar and Reggie and all that either:)
How's School?

Later 'gator'

REGGIE IS INNOCENT! YOU NEED TO CHILL!

Could someone please tell me what here question was?

Betty you blog is awesome!!! I need some advice though, I am getting braces tomorrow and I am afraid that everybody will say I look dumb what should I do???

HJ

GRRRRRRR. I was reading a book yesterday about world war 2 and I found out that Aryan means something along the lines of the people who Hitler liked, who were big boned, and had blonde hair and blue eyes. I think they also might have been the people who helped try to destroy Jews, which IS NOT FAIR BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. But why does this make me mad? Because my name is Aryn, and if you put an A between the Y and the N then I'm an Aryan, which is NOT good. Garrrrrr! I want to change my name to Aline, which is Aryn in Hawaiian.(I thought that was kinda cool...) But what do you think?

Aline

BETTY- didnt like 3 months ago you said you wanted to start a advice thing? on your blog? because on rons blog she was talking about how you 2 were going to do it..
and remember that old thing were you would do that you mentioned people that were having trouble..or were giving incouragement..or just saying thanks for helping everyone..what happened to that?
-shea

Hi Betty, I need your advice, this boy in my class likes me and is telling everyone I like him, but I really don't!!>> , so what should I do...

Betty I am single for v day and wondering some stuff to do that wont make me feel so bad about being single thanx

i like you name as it is Aryn but the name you want to change it to is also very cool.

From, Kate

Hi HJ, About those braces. You'll be fine! My brother has braces and he thought he would look funny with them on, but his teeth were really crooked and he actually looks better with braces because his teeth are straighter:D

When I got glasses, I thought that I would be SO ugly, but once I got them my face looks better, and I feel naked without them:D

So smile, and show everyone those gorgeous, straight teeth:D

-katy-

Kate, Go for it! Send him a Valentine! I would probably only send him a Valentine for now, till you really determine wether he likes you or not:) You could hand make it or you could just get one from the store:) It all depends on how much work you want to put into it:D

have fun,

-katy-

Dear Betty I think you guys should have a advice blog. Because I need help a.s.ap. There is this totally cute guy that is super gentlemen and nice. But, my friend who is one year younger than me likes him too and known him longer plus more than I do. Yet, we like him around the same time. Then my other friend who dance with him for her 15teens party also likes him. They both told me they like him and I don't want to be disloyal by secretly crushing on him. But, he is just so Cute!I am only 10 month older than him he is fifteen I am 16. But, he is way taller and I look 13. Is it wrong for me to be crushing on him?

there is a boy in my class named Jesse and is sooooooooooooooooo anonying.Inmy class he makes noise and me and my friends tell him to be quiet,he'll stop then start again. Tell me what I should do?

HJ,i was reading through the comments and saw your guestion, i know you asked Betty the question, but i thought that maybe i could help. I just got braces, and i was kind of nervous about all my friends seeing them too. But when my friends saw them i realized that there was no reason to be nervous about that. A lot of other people have to get braces too so they know how you feel. Don't worry about it, the more confident you act the less people will make fun of you. I hope everything works out for you.

No worries Betty. Just try the best you can.

This is what I posted over at Veronica's blog about you guys making a "Dear Betty & Veronica" advice column.

"I think it is all up to you Ron and Betty. :D

Giving advice is hard because you have to think very carefully what to say and try to see their situation to figure out an answer. There's many things to think over and be careful of what to say, but it is fun and a wonderful feeling to help others the best you can with good intentions. :D

I know it can be a pressure to do so but it is all up to you and if you want to help out, then shoot! :D If it weren't mandatory, then I guess it is less pressure to give out advice.

Of course we all want the best for others but if you girls feel too pressured to open an advice column for us, then don't. :D I don't want to see you girls stressed out. If you wanted to do it because you want too and you enjoy it, then go for it. :D Hmm... I hope that made sense.

Just my opinion. :D

Anyway, if anyone needs advice we can always post it in your blogs like we have been doing over at Betty's blog.

Whatever you girls want. :D "

Those who want to help out our fellow bloggy buddies by giving advice can do so when they want too. Same to you Betty and Veronica. No pressure. I'd be happy to help my buddies too but I offer suggestions because it all depends on them. Man, today I'm worse at explaining stuff, lol.

Hey "W"
Do you have any close friends who are boys?
If you do, you might want to talk to them about this- to get a guy's point of veiw. Maybe this boy just needs a little space. Still talk to him, but not so that he feels like it's too much. You don't have to take my advice. :) *~Carly

Comment for W.

If you do like this guy a lot just start by being relaxed go out with some other guys first that way on your first date with "the one and only" you will have experience of what to do if the date goes bad BUT before you go on a date with him become friends first that way you get to know him for who he really is, so then if he is not your type you can still be friends but not have to go though the "break up"
hope it works out!!! ;-)

P.S. Not all advice will work so be careful what advice you choose :-)

dear Betty,why dont you ask Archie for a date once and a while...i hate it when archie ignores you for Veronica!she is pretty but she is rude to him

yo hi bets i think you are the cooliest "person" when i was little i thoutht you were real how funny is that!!! my life has been good so far!!!today we are going to the movies and then we are going to go see a tiny little puppy!! the puppy is sooo cute!!!are you planing on getting a friend for caremel i would name it apple!!!get it carmel apple!!hahahaha!!!
