Is there an extreme makeover show for geeks?
|
|
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?

My girlfriend just wants to be friends.
|
|
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!

What if I'm not attracted to her?
|
|
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.

Not So Smart
|
|
Dear Ally, I am in my senior year of high school and getting ready to apply for college. Everyone around me is all freaked out about SATs, GPA’s, and applications right now, it’s a really stressful environment. My group at school consists of lots of beautiful, athletic and intelligent girls, so it’s hard to not compare myself to them. I am not as smart as the rest of my Ivy League friends, and feel a little nervous about the arrival of college acceptance (or denial) letters. I have never done that well in school and am dreading four more years at a University. Everyone is so excited about college and I don’t want to be the loser friend who just starts working immediately after high school. How can I stop feeling so inadequate around my near-perfect friends, and what should I do about this whole college issue?
Sincerely,
Wendy
