sydny, 18, from canada asks:

I have this crush on a guy who I have only talked to once a few months ago and I really like him. I added him om msn, however, he never came on. I was hoping that I could talk to him a bit (at least on msn since I never see him at school) before telling him that I like him, but I guess that won't be happening since I've been trying to do so for over a damn month! Aaanyway, now I'm feeling really horrible about waiting (I mean, what if he doesnt remember me?) aaanyway, now that school is over, I want to send him an e-mail (before it's too late :( ), but.. I have no clue what to say. Please, tell me, what would a guy like to hear in an e-mail? What do I write? How do I tell him? I reeeally need your help. I'm desperate!

VictorM's advice:

A few days ago I made a post in the Singles Center blog called "Say Anything". This is actually one of those cases where saying anyting works because nothing you say will fail as much as saying nothing.

He may have no interest in you, but any guy will feel great if any girl says something nice about him. Don't say you have a crush on him, but almost any compliment about him would do. Something as simple as:

"I met you a few months ago and you seemed like the *fill in something here like "cool", "sharp", "funniest", etc* kinda guy (make the compliment a sincere one). I've been hoping to run into you again, but you vanished. How about meeting for ice cream?

If you make it short, make it sincere, and make him feel good about himself, he won't resist you.

Let us know how it turned out. We're suckers for soap opera stuff like this. :)
