A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I need help badly! I have a crush on a 17 yr old and I was planning on going to a party he's going to be at this Saturday but my trip to France got cancelled and has been moved to the same day as the party. I have to go to the trip because its already been paid for and my mum needs my help!The day trip is from 5 am and lasts till around 9 pm and the party might go on till about 11 or 12. I take time to get ready (doing my hair makeup and putting on my clothes) maybe an hour if I really hurry up! I might not be able to spend enough time with him. A girl who's going has a bf and she is quite flirtatious and flirted with my crush even though she has a bf already, he never really responded to her advances and I want to get to him b4 she tries anything else, its absolutely ridiculous that she's flirting with another guy while in a relationship that hasn't ended yet. I trust that my crush won't respond to her advances because I know him and he definitely doesn't spontaneously hook up with a girl he barely knows. I want to know how I could get to the party quicker like should I go home shower (because I might smell awful after the long days trip, carrying heavyloads and helping my mum shop is a workout), straighten my hair and putmake up before (but then my hair might get wet coz of the weather in France at the moment) or what? Doing my makeup on the coach might be possible if I use a steady hand and there is a toilet on the coach. How could I possibly get ready quicker so that ill have enough time to court? Consider that the party might get boring and could end earlier and my dad might get stuck in heavy traffic while driving me there. I might not get another chance to see him again and was planning on getting his number on Saturday. Either way I have to go to both the trip and the party.

Tisha-1 agony auntSkip straightening your hair. I know, I know, that's a big deal but there are great hairdos like loose, curly waves caught up in a casual bun to the back or side of the nape of the neck that look great.

Pack some wipes to sweep off the road dirt/exertion sweat, a little spritz of fragrance isn't a bad idea but don't overdo it. I think most guys prefer girls who look natural and like themselves, rather than the ones who cake on loads of makeup and spend hours doing their hair. Pack something that is easy to wear and doesn't wrinkle to change into.

Find a 5 minute make up routine in one of your beauty magazines or online and practice it. Glossy lips, a cute tousled updo, a well-fitting relaxed outfit and you'll be fine.

orchidkid agony auntI would suggest you pick up your clothes for that party earlier and leave them on your bed so the outfit will be ready when you come back. Wash your hair on the day of the trip or the night before, when you come home for a quick shower, even if the weather messes them up, they'll still have some volume and you can always make fast curls on a flat iron. For the trip wear a light make up-some mascara with lipgloss, so your face will be more or less fresh and not worn out from wearing heavy make up during the day. Then anfter a quick shower (and I mean it-take a quicky, it'll make you fell fresh and less tired) put on some make up, just don't cake it. And you're ready to go.

It's a good idea to have some friends at that party so they can text or call you to give you some update if your dream boy is still there, it would be bad for you to make an effort if you're not really sure if he'll still be there.

And if your friend are there they can always talk to him that you will arrive later on and that you wanted to talk to him about somethin, so could he stay a bit longer?

And even if he does go home before you come in all sassy lookin' he will wonder 'what could you want to talk about with him?' so he might even make the first call after that. Who knows? ;)

person12345 agony auntWhy don't you just wear something versatile for the trip (like jeans and a T-shirt), put on some mascara, and then put on lipgloss on the bus. Bathrooms on there are NASTY, don't try to put on makeup in a bus bathroom, that's very unsanitary. Just bring a little mirror and put on some blush and lipgloss at your seat. If he likes you, he likes you. If he doesn't, he doesn't. Your hair and makeup aren't going to change that. Just tell him when you got there that you just came from a trip. Spray a bit of body spray or perfume on, and reapply deodorant throughout the day to prevent BO. You can just put a stick in your purse.
