Rachel's Problem Page

Well, you know we have Gemma's Fashion problem's? I thought we'd also make up a page for regular problems (eg.boys, parents). If you have a problem, write to us!

Dear Rachel,
ok, so i liket his lad but i want 2 know how to get him 2 not want me as a frend but more, he's made it obvious that he likes me as more than a frend cos i asked him "hypothetically" if he would go out with me and he said he didnt know but he was pretty sure he'd say yes! I dont want to ask him outright but i have plenty of time to c what he really thinks of me but wot subtle questions could I ask? I'm going 2 the cinema wif him on thursday (and my frend) and then hes havin a party so this is pretty urgent.

Jenny,
It's excellent that you already know him well as a friend - after all, the best relationships are based on friendship! It's also promising that he'd 'hypothetically' go out with you.
My advice is to get to know him even more as a friend, and with that it could turn into something more romantic. As well as that, you could try flirting with him, and the hypothtical questions could work - though he could get suspicious if you overdo it! Ask him if he'd ever go out with you hypothetically, then ask for real. If he says yes - great, if he says no, you can pretend it was pretend! Good luck!

Dear Rachel,
I have a prob! About a month ago me and my Best Mate Josh kissed and now we're barely speaking. He's told Charlotte and Dylan that he liked me, but won't hug me or anything. He keeps giving me these puzzling looks, as if he's trying to say something. I've spoken to him, but he just says that everything is cool. I was speaking to Dylan and he says that Josh hasn't told him anything, but he knows from Charlotte. I'm worried about Josh, but I'm also curious to find out what Josh thinks about me. I like him a lot, but I don't know how much.

H,
There is one way you can find out exactly how Josh feels - ask him! Get him on his own and ask him what's going on (in a nice way) and if he still wants to go out with you. Explain how you feel too, and make it clear that if you don't become an item, you can still be friends. It's a lot easier than communicating through your mates!
My guess is he still likes you, but feels a little shy; this is why he doesn't seem to huig you or anything. Have a little talk with him and I'm sure it'll sort itself out. Good luck!
