Dear Ally-
I’m hopelessly a geek. The only time girls think of me is when they need help with their homework. Is there an extreme makeover show for geek guys? What can I do to help them see beyond my straight A’s and computer skills?

Dear Ally, I went out with this girl for thirteen months. We’re both sixteen and we went to Christmas Formal, the Prom and the entire summer we were together. Ten days ago she dumped me. Says, “She just wants to be friends.”
I’m devastated, embarrassed and can’t get over her. She’s awesome!
Hey Ally, I have this friend, Becca and everyone is hasslin’ us, “Are you guys going out or what? Wazzup with you and her?” and it’s getting old. We have classes together and go to the same youth group at church, so I see her six out of seven. So here’s the deal - I like her, she’s easy to be with, laughs at my jokes, and fits in with my friends, and if you can believe this, fits in with my weird family.
But here’s the catch – I’m not physically attracted to her. I’m not gay or anything, I just don’t drool all over her like other girls I see around. What should I do? We are both Juniors in high school.
I can really pick ‘em! Seems like every guy (no exaggeration) I pick turns out to be a LOSER. Is there something wrong with me? I talk to my friends, but they don’t know, but they don’t seem to choose as lousy as I do. Should I join the convent and swear off guys?

Dear Jeremy,
My friends and I obsess about guys. We sit around and talk about them, “Did you see how hunky Luke looked today? I think he winked at me in Bio.” We analyze what they say to us. “Ricardo said, ‘I’ll see you later,’ after sixth period today. Do you think he wants to ask me to prom?” We dress for them. “I have to have those jeans, they make my butt look good. I want Dwayne to notice me when I walk across the quad.”
So here’s my question. What do guys talk about? Are we wasting our time with all the talk, flirting and drama? Do guys ever talk about girls?
