Wonder why boys do the things they do? Here are the answers to your questions:

How do you approach a boy without seeming obvious or akward?

Have a topic in mind before you go up to him. A simple question or compliment about where he got his jacket or that you like his smile will break down the initial barrier, and make him feel good. After things to flowing, you can say something to ensure another meeting - like "so what are you doing Friday night?" or "It was nice talking to you. I'll give you a call sometimes." Then add, "Wait, I don't have your number." The more initiative you take, the better response you'll get.

How can you prove to a guy that you really care without having to do something sexually?

If you ever find yourself in a situation where his hands are wandering and you don't want him to go there, tell him firmly, "No, I'm not ready for this." No getting the message? Then get up and tell him he's making you feel uncomfortable. You're with the wrong person if he's pressuring you to do something you're just not ready for.

What should you say to a boy when there are awkward silences?

Say "This is awkward." It turns the awkwardness into a joke and takes the pressure off. Ask him about his hobbies, we all love to talk about ourselves, our achievements, plus if you listen and respond to him, it indicates you're interested in him.

Why are most guys afraid of commitment? The moment I start leaving the odd toothbrush or jockstrap at his place he freaks!

He need to get used to be around you, do things together, but with man in your life on your mind. Go out to places he likes, watch movies he wants to watch, but make sure you include your interests in your day to day lives. Don't stop his freedom though, if the relationship is going to work you need trust. So he wants to go out to a club with friends, you don't have to go, you could have a quiet night in, tell him you'll be waiting for him when he gets home. This is sure to make him happy and feel like he has his own life too!
