[Coffee.]

Hey Tamsin,

First of all, having a boyfriend is not all that it's cracked up to be. It's not all fun and games. There is a lot of heartbreak, a lot of communication (and lack there of at times) and there is a lot of time taken up not with your friends. I want you to really look at the reasons you want one. Is this really an issue of loneliness, or lack of self esteem?

Now, for getting somebody to like you, that's impossible. You can get them to notice you by talking to them, asking them to do things with you (such as coffee or a walk in the park) but ultimately, you cannot make somebody like you. Also, he doesn't HAVE to make the first move. That's sort of an old gender stereotype, and it's not necessary. If you like him, and you guys start talking and you think he likes you back, feel free to make the first move! Many guys actually really appreciate it.

Hope that helps a bit, good luck!
