DOES HE LIKE HER?

Dear Jellybean,

Hi i've been reading JB for ages so when I had this problem with a guy in my class I decided to e-mail you I really like this guy in my class and I'm pretty sure that he likes me to becuase I've been getting mixed signs anyways now a dance is fast approching and i know for a fact that he hasn't asked anyone and isn't planning to (the power of eavesdropping) and I want to ask him but we've become fast friends and I don't want to ruin it by asking him. What should I do???

Dear Writer,

If you're worried that asking him out might ruin the friendship, you need to find a sneakier way. You could get a friend to ask him if he's going to the dance with anyone, and hint that if he asked you, you would probably say yes. Or you could ask him yourself if he's asked anyone yet, and if he says no, say, "Well nobody has asked me to go. Since we're both going stag to this thing, want to just go stag together?" That way, you're going as friends, not dates, which takes the pressure off. If he does like you, you'll probably figure it out at the dance, since it's the perfect opportunity for him to make a move. And if he doesn't share your feelings, then that will probably become pretty clear too. Either way, you'll know. Good luck!
