Ask Kristy: Girl Talk

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Southern Miss chapter.


 
Dear Kristy,

I feel like I am putting way too much effort into a potential relationship, and I am not getting the same effort back. I really like this guy, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t want things to end, but I really want to feel like I’m not the only one working at it.  What do you suggest?

Answer:

I think the best thing you can do is talk to him about it. Let him know that you really like him and enjoy spending time with him. However, be sure to tell him you feel like you are alone – which is absolutely not fair to you. Make sure to always say your true feelings about matters like this. If you let it build up, it could be a much worse problem in the future. Good luck!
 



Dear Kristy,

Lately, I have been going out with my girlfriends a lot. I am a little bigger than they are, and when we go out I am constantly comparing myself to them. Not only am I insecure about my size, but I also feel like I cannot dress as cute as them or look as good as they do. I’ve been working out, and I’m getting closer everyday to my goal weight. But, until then, what should I do?

Answer:

I understand how you feel completely. The best advice I can give you is embrace and love your body. Obviously, if you are working out and slimming down, you’ll be to your dream size in no time! Until you reach that size, though, just be confident and comfortable with yourself. Go find a super cute dress, a hot pair of heels, and make yourself feel pretty. Then when you go out, be the most confident girl in the room. Confidence is sexy, and when you are comfortable with yourself, others will be comfortable around you. Best of luck to you!
 



Dear Kristy,

I have DD cup boobs, and I feel like every bathing suit I try on looks horrible on me. Do you know a good type of bathing suit that doesn’t make me look gross?

Answer:

Lucky for you, I do! A lot of places will have a bathing suit called DD-cup and it is made for people with boobs just like yours! I also know that the bandeau tops look really good too if you attach the string(s) to it.  Happy hunting!
