REQUEST: When does wanting to get to know a guy turn into stalking??

Haha this is a funny request. I think everyone kinda gets into stalker mode when they really like someone but they like never talked to them before (well..I guess this would just be a crush.). So my advice is to know when you've gone too far. If you know nothing about this guy, then ask some of your friends if they know his name and what grade he's in or something. At this point, all you know is his name. Then I'm assuming you'll hit up facebook and spend hours looking through his pictures and profile. No. Haha go up to him!! Orrr add him on facebook and talk to him on there for the first time if you're too shy. Just message him if he happens to be online then just say "Hey." If he responds, just say something along the lines like, "I've seen you around school and I just wanted to introduce myself.." That would be a pretty good start. And if you're not so shy, go up to him, introduce yourself and start talking. Be casual though. You don't wanna creep him out :)
DO NOT:
-Follow him around all the time (and if you do, don't be obvious about it)
-Don't stare and make it obvious
-Don't be asking everyone you know if they know things about him, that's creepy
-If you happen to get info on him, don't change yourself so he'll notice you. He'll probably notice the change more than anything and think whats going on with you all of a sudden
-When he passes, don't drool and stare haha
-Don't get all giggly around him, wait till he passes
-Don't be stalking his profile daily
Haha I think this is all I have to say about thatt. Hope it helps!

REQUEST: Friends vs. boyfriend

So I've been getting requests which is FABULOUS. The first request is basically asking me how to keep guys as friends and nothing else. This is hard to give any advice on, because everyone knows that whenever a guy and a girl get close, something else ends up happening. So I guess all I can say is know what you want. Know what type of guy you're into, know what you want his personality to be like, etc. Also, if you have an awesome guy friend and you think to yourself, "Do I like him?," don't risk that whole friendship for something you have no idea if it will work out or not. If you're not the problem, and he's the one who is into you, then keep your distance or talk to him about it. You don't have to be mean about it, just nicely say that it would be best for the both of you if you stayed just good friends. I hope this helps, and I'm sorry if it doesn't!!
