Help! My besties are pressuring me to date a guy I don't like


 

Check these out, too...

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
My friends are pressuring me to go out with this guy and he's one of my other friends. He's gonna ask me but I don't like him like that. He is really sweet and I don't want to hurt him. What do I do?

 

His Answer: “Don’t be flirty or text him and he should get the message,” says Riley, 15. “If he doesn’t and ends up asking you out, let him down easy. Say, ‘I like you as a friend, but not a boyfriend.’ Keep the details to yourself. He’ll be more embarrassed if he finds out you told you friends everything.”
 
Decoded: You gotta make is clear to this guy that you’re only friends. That means no flirting, even if you think it’s harmless! If he asks you out, be honest and say you don’t think of him that way. Don’t reveal all the deets to your gals.
 
Your Move: Be careful with this guy. Do your best not to send any signs that could cause him to think you like him. This means no arm-touching, IMing, or walking home together. Hopefully, these moves will help him realize you just want to stay friends. If he ends up asking you to be his girlfriend, be kind and tell him you don’t like him that way. Keep it between you two so he doesn’t feel too embarrassed. Hopefully your friends will understand it’s not their business and things can return to normal.

Im 13 and a guy that i really like and that treats me well asked me out I was really happy and said yes but i have never told my mom about boys...how do i ask her if i caan date?

 

Hey girl!

When your mom isn't busy, ask her if you can talk. There's no better way to go about it than to just be honest. Tell her you'd like to date this boy. Offer to introduce him to her so she'll feel more comfortable. Good luck!

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

i have friends but they all have better people to hang with than me. in my class i only have been to a few people's houses and i never get invited anywhere. i text some girls from my french clas and theyre kinda nice but, again they have better friends than me. i also get bullied and people talk behind my back a LOT. i have 2 friends outside of school. one i'll call "G". G is my BFF and we are supertight. sometomes i feel like she is the only one i can trust. ther is this other girl who i will call "Rebel" and here is why, i've known her for years much like G, but i know her from theatre camp, but she lives in a really small house and was not raised well, so she beahaves badly. at the campfire she litteraly PLAYED WITH FIRE. if that's not bad enough, once Rebel and i were talking and suddenly her eyes widened and she did that whole bending-arm-behind-your-back thing and it really hurt. she stopped just as i was about to cry than she acted as if it never happened. please help me.
