Dr. M
Dr. M is the author of five advice books for tweens and teens. Her latest is Where Should I Sit at Lunch? The Ultimate 24/7 Guide to Surviving the High School Years. She enjoys dancing, reading, working out and talking with young people about the issues that concern them. She holds a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology.

Liz
Liz, a first-year college student, is the co-author of three books: Ask Dr. M and Liz; Getting to Know the Real You: 50 Fun Quizzes Just for Girls, and Girls: What's So Bad About Being Good? She loves to dance, paint, make collages, hang out with friends and, of course, give advice.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

Keep in mind that Dr. M and Liz's suggestions are based on their own life experiences and may not work for you. Their advice is a great place to start, but you should always consult with a parent, guardian or other trusted adult before making important personal decisions or if you have a serious problem.

Question
Dear Dr. M and Liz,
OK, so I really like this boy, and I think he likes me too, but he seems kind of shy. What should I do to get things going?
—Alexis, 16, New Hampshire
