Question

I like this girl but she doesn't like me back and bullies me. Should I try these tips on her?

Community Answer

No. If she bullies you, then she does not respect who you are. You should not waste your time on someone who has no regard for you.

Question

What topics should I start a conversation with?

Community Answer

If it's a new text relationship, start with things you have in common, such as family pets, friends or school life. If it's not brand new, dig deeper. Ask about past experiences she's had at places, or if she's been to a place - and if she has, ask her about it. Bring up more personal things the longer the relationship goes on.

Question

I have a crush who was always really good to me but since I asked her out her behavior changed. What do I do?

Community Answer

Assuming she said yes, your crush is probably a little shy and now that you guys are going out she's not sure how to act around you. Keep engaging her and she'll probably get more comfortable with you.

Question

What should I do if my female best friend suddenly only replies with one word?

Community Answer

Easy! If it is your best friend, then you can use the jokes shown earlier! Your friend could be bored of you, busy, or just unsure of what to say next, so a joke or something funny would be good to continue.

Question

I like a girl, but we do not see each other very much. How can we have a relationship?

Community Answer

You can use Skype or any other means of communication for her to know that you want to have a lasting relationship. Try to surprise her whenever you see each other and find time for you to have quality time together.

I talk to a girl who has a boyfriend already, but I like her. She texts me daily; what can I do?

Community Answer

Find someone else. Don't steal another guy's girl. There's plenty of other fish in the sea.

Question

If someone consistently replies with short messages, does that mean that they don't like me or don't want to talk to me?

Community Answer

Probably, or they could be busy. If you know them well enough, you can interpret this situation more accurately. If you are actually concerned, ask them calmly. "Hey, I've noticed you seem a bit short with me. Have I done something wrong, or do you just not want to talk right now?"

Don't worry about it. She'll tell you if she likes you back, or let you down gently if she doesn't.

Question

If I just started texting a girl who I was told likes me and who I like back, but she sends short messages, what would that mean?

Community Answer

It could be that whoever gave you the information was lying or misheard something. Or if it's from a trusted source, it could be that she's a little hesitant to throw herself out there not knowing if the feelings are reciprocated. Of course, she could also just be busy when you're texting her. Try saying something flirtatious (but not dirty!) and see how she responds, or better yet, try talking to her in person or on the phone and see how she reacts to you. It's a little easier to read the signs in person.

Question

It's a little bit complicated in my case. Sometimes she send me answers in paragraphs, sometime in a bunch of short replies and the other times only one word. What does that mean?

Community Answer

She might just be busy when she's sending you one word responses. If you get one of these, just say something like, "Are you busy? We can talk later." That may clear things up for you.

Question

What should I do if the girl I'm dating is acting shy, but I know she's not shy?

Community Answer

Ask her how she’s feeling and if she’s okay. If she says she’s okay, don’t pry and leave her alone for a bit. If something is wrong, listen to her if she wants to talk about it, and try to be supportive.

Question

What does it mean if my girlfriend doesn't respond to my texts for a long time?

Community Answer

Your girlfriend probably wants some space. Try texting her a few days later to see. If she responds, then you're in the clear. If she doesn't, try meeting up with her to see what's wrong.

Question

How do I respond to a girl that said "honestly same" via text? Should I even respond?

Say, 'We have something in common then', or something along those lines. Just say what's on your mind, if you don't know how to respond, tell her.

Question

How do you tell someone you like them without actually saying it? How do you act when you're hanging out in person and the conversation starts to get dry?

Community Answer

Ask them out even if they say no, you can still get the practice! If the conversation gets dry, ask them about their childhood, like "what was your favorite food as a child?".

Question

A girl I like will text me some days and other days will ignore me. What should I do to keep her interest?

Community Answer

If she is actively ignoring you, then just being patient. Send good morning and goodnight texts to let her know that you are still interested in her. If it continues, bring it up and ask her why she is ignoring you. More often than not it is simply because she is busy, or because she doesn't text much.

Question

How do I answer to ''how have you been" from my girlfriend?

Community Answer

Just be straight, tell her how you've been, whether it's good, or bad. She's with you for a reason and if she can't understand or enthuse about the way your feeling... then why put time into being with her?
