Q&A for How to Ask a Guy to Be Your Boyfriend

Ask him about his previous relationships. To work up to asking a guy to be your boyfriend, try asking him how long it took for him and his significant other to get together in his first relationship. That can help you gauge how long it takes him to warm up to someone.

Ask him if he's serious about you, and pay attention to his response. Keep in mind that not answering you is an answer. If he says something like, "We're having fun together," then they're probably not taking things seriously but they're not confident enough to say it directly.

Be direct. It might be scary to do so, but the best way to go about asking a guy to be your boyfriend is by expressing how you feel. You can also try asking questions like "What are your plans for us?" or "Where do you see this going?"

It means he likes you but he's too nervous to admit it. You should ask him yourself, he'd probably be much more likely to be honest with you. Do it in a private place so he doesn't get embarrassed.

Sometimes it's harder for guys to understand and be sure about their feelings. If he said "maybe," just give him some time to think it over.

It honestly depends on how ready you are. Some people are ready at 10, others are ready at 18.

If he's a jerk then you don't need him. You deserve better and if he truly liked you he wouldn't have hurt you by asking out your best friend. Move on and find someone else.

Think about how often you talk and how comfortable he is around you. If you talk rarely or he is uncomfortable or defensive around you, he probably doesn't have feelings for you anymore. But if he talks to you a lot, tries to impress you, and/or compliments you, and seems really comfortable, there is a good chance he still likes you.

Tell him you understand and you'd like to still be friends. Maybe in the future when he's ready things will be different. For now, don't push, just focus on getting to know him and being his friend.

Of course it is! You can date anyone you want, no matter what they look like.

You should first casually and subtly ask him if he is happy in his relationship. If he says no then maybe you should give it a shot. If he says yes then maybe it's time to move on.

You accept that either the guy isn't right or the time isn't right. Even if he isn't perfectly happy in his relationship, you don't want to try to break them up, as that will only engender bad feelings all around and cast a shadow of guilt over your (hoped for) new relationship with him.

If that happens, your friendship probably wasn't very strong anyway. Most of the time there will be a little awkwardness, but the friendship will recover. Make sure you tell the guy that you still want to be friends no matter how he feels about you.

It depends if you're ready to have a boyfriend or not. If you aren't then I would wait till 13 but if you're ready and you know someone will say yes then go ahead.

Guys often do this when they want something from you that they don't think they will get without saying "I love you." Not all guys are like this, but some are, so be cautious.

Even though it's "only" four years, a 13-year-old and a 17-year-old have very different maturity levels and are at vastly different points in their lives. I would suggest you try to date someone closer to your own age.

This sounds like a toxic relationship, and it might be best to end it. He might just be stringing you along and not looking for anything serious, and he's probably seeing other girls. If you don't want to end it, have a conversation about your feelings and what you want from him.

If you want to take the note route, then wait until you have a class together or if you have lunch together. If it's in class you can slip the note onto his desk and either stay or keep walking. At lunch, you can place the note in front of him and either stay or keep walking. Or you could slip it into his bag and wait for him to find it.

Sure, if you want to. As long as you feel ready to have a boyfriend, it's totally fine to ask him.

Just be patient. Give him time to think about it. If you keep bothering him for an answer, he'll be more likely to say no.

It could be a no, but he might also really want to think about it. Give him a little time, but don't get your hopes up.

If you're shy, it may be best to simply be direct about it. Try to work up some courage, and practice talking to him in the mirror. You could ask simple questions such as, "What's your favorite color?" or, "What are your hobbies?" Another important thing is to try to find the right time. Between classes or 3 minutes before school starts wouldn't really work, since you don't want to rush. If you find that you don't have similar personal interests, but still like him, don't worry, as many successful relationships exist where the partners have separate interests but love each other anyway.

If you're too young, your'e too young. What's the sense in ruining a perfectly good friendship by turning it romantic when neither of you is mature enough to handle that? If he asks you, explain just that -- you care for him and value his friendship but feel like you're too young for dating.

If she is rude, try to respond with politeness. Show that you aren't bothered by her rudeness. If she continues to block you, tell her that you wish to talk with your crush (don't say "crush," say their name) and go around her.

Ask for their number so you can call, text, FaceTime, etc. with him privately. Once you've gotten to know each other better, you can try asking your parents if you can arrange to get together without supervision.

If that's the case, either the information you heard was wrong, or he's just not ready to be in a relationship right now. If he said no, you just have to respect that and move on.

Wait for a time when it is just the two of you and just ask him. If he doesn't accept you, just think of it as his loss and move on. If you are friends with him, try to go back to being just friends.

If you're not ready to ask, it's okay to take a little time. But you'll never get what you want if you don't ask for it, so sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and go for it!

Tell them that you're not going to go out with either one of them if they fight, because you dislike physical violence. If they're still going to fight, tell an adult that can intervene.

Sure, you never know until you ask. Many people start dating around your age, so there's a decent chance he will say yes.
