Dear Breakup Girl,

Hi. I'm 12 years old and I was just wondering how I can get this guy at my school to pay more attention to me as a friend. Not as a girlfriend, I'm too young for that. I just want him to like me so he'll talk to me more! Thanks!

Dear Elizabeth,

Well, let's see. How come you like him? What do you know about him? Did you notice that he eats his Oreos the same way you do? Did you overhear him listening to music that you like? Did you spot him working on that cool solar car project? There you go. Figure out something he likes; then ask him about it. This will give him a chance to talk about it. People love that. And they like the people who ask them.

Love,
Breakup Girl
