TV host/comedian/actor/adorableness Jimmy Fallon wasn’t sure he was qualified to advise you on flirting with shy boys or how to tell if a guy like-likes you, but we love him for trying anyway, and knocking it out of the park:
If you have a question for a Grown Person, please send it to youaskedit@rookiemag.com and write “Ask a Grown Man” or “Ask a Grown Woman” in the subject line, accordingly.
Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyJIMMY FALLON I LOVE YOU. I feel like I’ve just met him. So weird.
And I’d like to say something for Naomi from Japan, I think you should watch “My Mad Fat Diary”. I think it would increase your confidence, because every single human being is beautiful and perfect.

Log in to replyI was having a really hard day because my bunny passed away this morning but then I saw this and it made my day a little more bearable.
Thanks Jimmy and Rookie :-)
Log in to replyAw Ree I’m so sorry about your bunny!
Log in to replyI’m so sorry about your bunny! :( I’ve always had bunnies since I was in kindergarten, and this summer the last one died. I was sad for a really long time, so I know what you’re going through. <333
Log in to replyOh no!
Log in to replyI am so sorry about your bunny! My condolences to you! What was its name?
My family had bunnies for a long time, but the last one (Sweet Bunny in the Rock) died a horribly gruesome death and so now we just have our urban garden and chickens…
I’m sorry about your pet! I’ve never had a bunny, but my family had to put down our dog this past September, the day before my sister’s birthday. So I totally understand the feelings, and I’m sorry for your loss. Our pets are part of our family, there’s not really any other way to put it.
Log in to replyI’m sorry about your bunny; losing pets is the worst. Sending you hugs and prayers over the internet.
Log in to replyomg he is such a cutie! i haven’t watched it yet, but i hope he is good wid dis nananwww
Log in to replyOh my gosh!!!! This is fucking amazing!
Log in to replyI totally love Jimmy Fallon! I just KNEW you guys would have to have him be on ask a grown man!
OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. whyyy
Log in to replyJimmy be my everything! Be my bus buddy!
Log in to replyThis is too great! I love Jimmy Fallon. He’s so adorable and funny, especially in this video clip. I can totally identify with the person who asked the last question. You read my mind! I’m 17 and a senior in high school. I’ve also never been kissed (except as a dare at a party) and am so glad to know I’m not the only one. I feel like the rest of my school is hooking up constantly and I’m so left out. Hopefully things will change when I go to college next year, just like Jimmy said!
Log in to replyYES I totally am with you guys, that last question was like Jimmy Are You Staring Into My Brain Here. I only had my first kiss a month or so ago (I’m 18) and it was weirdddd and yeah. My friends used to tease me about it and they’re all really sexually active and it used to make me feel really bad and really worried that people would judge me. But you know what, I don’t really feel that way anymore… I think I had to become more confident on my own and it’s probably healthy and even though things are lonely now, I think that someone will appreciate the things worth appreciating about me and about you too and anyone. I think we all should feel ok with, like, trying to figure out who we are as a sexual person by ourselves. And also LOOK AT US ROOKIE LADIES WE ARE FABULOUS you know? And… not to get too deep here, but isn’t everyone pretty much worthy of some looove?
Log in to reply*flips hair* CHLOE OUT
Thanks Chloe! That’s so sweet and encouraging. I agree about becoming more confident. Not having to rely on a guy to make you feel good about yourself is probably a good skill to have:)
Log in to replyThis is so awesome :)
Log in to replybeen freaking out about life stuff like being out of college and no real job, no place of my own, no current plans, and my dreams feel stuck. but jimmy has given good advice. I need less stressin.
Log in to replyI noticed he’s one of the nicest talk show hosts out there. What a cool man!
Log in to replyAHhhhhhhhh this just made my day!!!
it’s too perfect! :D
I love Jimmy Fallon!
He has such great advice!

Log in to reply<3
Log in to replythis is so great!!!!!
Log in to replyrookie you are the best!
I have a question. Whenever Rookie posts a video, all that comes up for me is a black box. Do I need to download something like Adobe?
Log in to replyI’m sorry about that. What browser are you using?
Log in to replyInternet explorer. It’s also on my phone, not sure if that has anything to do with it
Log in to replyHahahhahaha omgg Jimmy Fallon I love you!!!
Log in to replyAll his answers are actually pretty accurate! LOVE U ROOKIES!
So I discovered if I download the Vimeo app I can watch the videos through the app on my phone :)
Log in to replyThis is so perfect I can’t even
Log in to replyTHIS IS AMAZING I WAS CRYING TEARS OF LAUGHTER AND JOY. But seriously he’s so awkward and funny how can you not love him. Also I really think you should contact Henry Rollins and ask him to do an ask a grown man session! That would make my life!
