what exactly does "hooking up" mean...
 

So i geuss im no the most popular social type, but i used to be a fat kid and am just now getting fit.

ive really liked this girl in HS who is a senior for a while, but we stopped talking for a while...ive texted her but no replies...i will see her over summer though at a tennis camp
she is going to UCLA next year

here is the heartbreaking part- my friend told me that she is "hooking up" with this other kid...however they just met. also, the kid she is apparently hooking up with is a huge loser and everyones hates him.

could this just be the kid bragging alot? or should i just forget about her completely (i absolutely cant stand slutty girls) I know hooking up can mean anything from coffee to sex, but dont guys brag and play it up alot? she is very classy according to everyone, so i doubt shed do anything with someone she just met unless she was that shallow

And because of the bolded, "she's just not that in to you." She didn't respond to your texts for a reason. Time to move on.

So getting coffee is now considered "hooking up"? Back in my day you had to at least get to 3rd base to say that you've hooked up.

Anyway... She doesn't like you man.

If you've made some SERIOUS alterations to your physical self, she may see a 'new you' the next time you see her. But, don't put all your eggs in that basket.

Advice from a girl - go incommunicado with this chick until you see her again. And, when you see her, DO NOT go out of your way to talk to her. Maybe don't even approach her. If she's interested, she'll approach you. Or, after the function is over, text her one last time and say, 'hey - didn't see you, hope you had fun' or something like that to let her know that you didn't see her (even if you did). Because if she's 'all that' it'll tick her off that you 'didn't see her' and she'll want to have a chance to make an impression on you...IF she likes you.

The other option here is that is just not the right TIME for you 2. Timing is EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING!!! Don't force it now, because if you do, you may ruin your chance for 2 yrs from now. I'm just sayin... If you creep her out now, you'll NEVER get back on that bus. EVER!
