Dear JJ,

I just can't seem to make it work with guys.Most of the time I can't figure out how to get a certain guy tonotice me. And if a guy I'm interested does pay me some attention,I can't seem to get any sort of relationship started with him. Canyou help me?

Sincerely,

Lost in Lansing

**************************************************

Dear Lost,

Wouldn't it be great if you could just walkup to a guy you were interested in and hand him a note that says,"I like you. Do you like me? Check yes or no." Then if he checked"yes" the two of you could join hands, skip off into the sunsettogether and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, once you getpast about third grade that doesn't work anymore.

However, Lostyou came to the right place! Iknow what you're going throughthe same thing happened to me duringmy teen years. I'm happy to say I learned from my experiences andnow I'd like to save you frustration, tears and time by passingwhat I learned along to you. In fact, it has become my mission inlife to inform and encourage girls like you who are struggling tofigure it all outnot just with regard to guys, but with life aswell.

In reply to your question above, it would bemy pleasure to help you turn it around. The first thing you need toknow is that when it comes to guys most girlstoday have it dead wrong . They don't have a clue whatthey're doing and it's hurting their success with guysandsometimes their soulsin about a kajillion different ways.

You can learn to be the cool girl who getsthe guy and keeps him. You can gain the confidence to be yourselfand be an original. All it takes is the knowledgewhich I will giveyou in this bookand a little practice. And I promisethe damagewill do ya good.

There are doors to unlock and secrets tolearn! So read on.

JJ

Who am I to write an advice book for teens?Nobody, reallyjust someone who's been where you are and learned afew things along the way. I'm past my teen years now, and if I may,I'd like to share with you what I've learned. It is my goal to helpmake this time of life easier, fun and more exciting for you.

Looking back, I remember having such ahard time in my early teen years. I wanted guys to like me but Ididn't really know how to attract the interest of the ones thatcaught my eye. On top of that, I really had no idea who I was. Iread books and articles that said "Be natural!" and "Be yourself!"and of course "To thine own self be true." (Makes you throw up inyour mouth a little, doesn't it?) I remember thinking about everysingle one of those phrases, "But what does that mean?" Ittook me years to figure it out.

Those are the kinds of things this book isabout. It's about learning to appeal to a guy (or several of them!)and captivate his attention. It's about figuring out who you are,polishing yourself up and learning to shine.

After my early teen years, things got alittle betterbut they got a whole lot better once I figuredout the concepts you'll be reading about in this book.

Although these years of your life aren'talways the easiest, they're a great time to set the stage for yourlife after high school. If you take a few minutes to look aroundyour world, you'll see that there are guys and girls your age whohave already started this process. These lucky ones usually have alot of help and grooming from their parents. Well, what if youdon't have that help? That's where I come in. I'm fairly certainthat what I've learned along the way can help youand it would bemy privilege to do so.

But if I may, let's back up a moment. I'm notfond of the terms "teen-ager" or "teen years." They make thisperiod of your life sound unimportant and trivial, when the truthis these can be very important years for you both now and in termsof getting a head start on your life. But since we're going to bereferring to this specific time of life throughout this book, I'vedecided to coin a new term all my own. I think of this time of lifeas the Finding Yourself Years, so going forward I'll refer to thistime period collectively as FYY.

This book is divided into two parts. Part Iis all about how to get the guy and how to handle the relationshiponce you have him. Let's face it, a lot of the fun of FYY isthe guys! I'm here to help you understand why guys act the way theydo, what attracts them to certain girls and how to use thisknowledge to your advantage. Now here's the beauty of my knowledgein this area: for a long time my friend Lurlene and I frequented aninternet forum which consisted of a community of gals who discussedguys. We shared how we met them, how we flirted with them, how wegot their attention and how we kept it. But what helped most of allis that we compared notes and figured out what worked and whatdidn't.
