Asking Him To The Dance
Dear Guidance Guy,
I really like this boy, who is sort of my friend. I want to ask him to go to the dance with me but I'm too shy to ask him. I also think he might like me but I'm not sure. What should I do?

Dear Devilzrule01,
If you and he have never made a move toward dating, this can be a tough thing to do. And if you're shy, it can really be tough. School dances put a lot of pressure on kids, especially those who want to ask someone but are too shy.
Try asking him to something else that isn't so stressful. Maybe having him over for dinner or over to study is a good start. If things go well it will be easier for one of you to invite the other to the dance (yes, he might even ask you). If it's too uncomfortable or if you find you don't like him that way You can also invite him to something that other people are going to as well, so it won't just be the two of you.
Keep one thing in mind...dances are supposed to be fun, not a test of your bravery and confidence. If you're too shy to ask him, don't worry about it. As you get older you'll become less shy and more confident. And so will he, or some other lucky guy who gets to go to the dance with you!
Thanks for your letter,
The Guidance Guy
