Q - Dear Annabelle, How do I turn on a girl in my grade? A - Dear 'R', Well, if I were twelve, Iād sure like to be asked to a good movie and a banana split! Chocolate is usually really good Ībaitā. By the way, 12 is a good time to learn the acronym for easy conversation.........it goes like this: **H.E.L.P** ĪHā Ask her about her hobbies, what she does for fun, you know, stuff like that. ĪEā Ask her about her education...school......what classes she likes/doesnāt like,... that sort of thing. Help her with a difficult class or ask her to help YOU! (Strangely enough, you can make friends by asking someone to help you with something). ĪLā Ask her about her Īlifestyleā..........what she likes to do when she just Īhangs outā with friends and stuff. Does she go to church or synagogue? ĪPā Ask her about her plans for the future, and such. What would she like to do when she grows up, does she have a long list or a short list of things-to-do in life? (By the way, the most desirable people have a real ENTHUSIASM for life.......and young MEN who are excited about all the wonderful things theyāre going to do in the world are....get this.......REALLY desirable to young women ;) Good luck.......and remember, life can be wonderfully fun. Itās a serious business, of course, but laughing is definitely allowed. - Annabelle
