I like this guy, but my style probably drives him away from me. I'm a tomboy/punk girl, but that doesn't mean I don't like to be intimate with guys. How is a person like me going to tell him, or make him like me?

     First, ask yourself why you like this guy--is it because you know it is impossible to get with him and you want to hold on to a hopeless crush, or is it because he is a genuinely amazing person? When it comes down to it, your style should not be a factor, because if it is, then he is a shallow, shallow boy who deserves some other shallow, shallow girl. Get to know him better, initiate conversation, and if he doesn't talk back to you or doesn't show interest, remember that these things happen, and move on. Period.

     I know exactly how you feel. I think that it's just that the guys are intimidated because they know that you can match them. Just let them know that you're ready to let him in and to not be afraid. Hey, whatever happens, happens. Good luck to you.

     Hon, I do not know where to start. You are no doubt beautiful and by what you're asking, you have a beautiful soul. But it sounds like you're confused. You shouldn't have to make him like you at all. If he doesn't like your style, that's his problem, not yours. Maybe you need to focus your attention on someone who'll love you for you, not for what you wear. You don't have to make anyone like you because the truth is, one probably already does.

     Just because you are a tomboy doesn't mean boys won't like you. It doesn't mean you have to change either. You can use your interests in sports, and other so called "guy stuff" to impress guys. You can use it as a conversation starter.

     Girl, if it is this guy you like but he doesn't like you, forget about it. He needs to like you for who you are and not what he wants you to be. Trust me--just forget about him. Make sure you don't change yourself for some guy that doesn't like you for you. Go find a hottie that deserves you and respects you for who you are.

     I know where you're coming from. First I think you should get that thought of changing yourself for him out of your mind. No one is worth changing yourself for. You wouldn't be happy or comfortable anyway--now be yourself, express your feelings and be confident in who you are!

     Well, some boys like the idea of dating tomboys. I have a friend who is a tomboy and she gets loads of guys. Don't worry--try to send some hints. Lots of guys love your style so don't fret and if he doesn't like your style, it's his loss, not yours! :)
