Do guys like girls with innocent faces?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been told multiple times I have very innocent eyes that look big on my face particularly because my face is pretty small. I’m that girl that gets “awwwd” at by people my own age, people tend to not swear around me and actually apologize if a curse word slips out 😂, acquaintances and near strangers confide in me about anything and everything, and I’m able to escape trouble pretty easily. I don’t mind any of this, I think looking innocent has a lot of benefits, but also, the guy I’m crushing on currently seems to view me as more of a younger sister he’s protective over than a potential girlfriend. So I guess that could be a downside 😳 😅

Perceived youth can trigger protective instincts more than romantic ones. You're probably going to be seeing that a lot while you still look that way. On the upside, if you're secretly a conniving criminal, you're set! If you still want to pursue the romantic angle, you're probably going to have to be more assertive than most women in your place would, but I don't think it's an impossibility.

I’ve heard about baby face criminals and how no one would suspect them 😂 i found that so funny. But do you have any advice on ho to be more assertive?

Well, exactly how you do it is going to depend on your specific personalities and situation. You're probably going to have to take first steps. That might not mean asking him out directly (if you're willing to do that, great, it'll probably make it easier, but if he's the kind of guy who'd take offense at that, be subtler), but it does mean putting the idea in his head. The big danger, I think, is in coming across too... cutesily, if you get what I'm saying. Even if what you have in mind is something light and fun, you do want to make it clear that you're thinking "relationship". Please forgive me if this next bit comes across as condescending, that's not how I mean it, but you're still young, and if you don't have a lot of experience with men, you might not know that we are MUCH more direct communicators. Subtle hints will often fly completely over our heads. Despite what you've heard from TV, and will probably be hearing from your friends if you haven't already, we're not stupid, any more than you're unable to clearly communicate; we're just wired to do it differently, because the gods are sadistic. If you want to get both your message and your intention across, direct is better.

The other point is a little harsh, and will probably sound even more than it actually is. Society doesn't take women as seriously as it takes men, and it doesn't take children as seriously as it takes adults. As a young-looking young woman, you're doubly screwed over. So you want to come across as confident. Stuttering or stammering is much more likely to evoke a "that's adorable!" reaction, and that's exactly what you don't want. You'll probably be nervous; try not to make it visible. Hope this helps.

Yes I do, It seems he has friend zoned you, but tell him how much it annoys you.

[Danny_dan92]

Sure. Why wouldn’t they?

[Asker]

I was just a bit discouraged because my crush seems to treat me like a kid

[Danny_dan92]

How old is he?

[Asker]

He’s 22. Only 2 years older than me
