Is it ever OK to turn down a date to the dance?


 

Check these out, too...

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
This guy asked me to Homecoming and I'm not sure I want to go with him. He's nice and everything, but he likes me and I don't want him to think we're dating. I'm leaning towards no, but should I just say yes anyway?

 

Hey girl! While it may seem like the nice thing to do, saying yes when you really don’t want to just leads to hurt feelings down the road. Plus, going to the dance with him might lead him on and make him believe there is something between you both. If you truly don’t want to go to the dance with this guy just let him know as nicely as possible! Sure his feelings will be hurt, but it’s better than letting him think you’re interested.

 

On the other hand, if ya need a date and feel like he’d be a fun person to go with, talk to him about it. Tell him that you’d just be going to the dance as friends but you wanna have fun and think he’d be an awesome date for the night. Dancing to a few songs doesn’t necessarily mean you’re BF/GF. Letting him know the deal up front might save you from some awkward situations later and you’ll have yourself a fun drama-free date for the dance!

MOD! MOD! MOD!
Do you think 12 is to young for a cellphone?
Also Do you think that 12 is to young for a boyfriend?
Honest Opinon. Thanks for the advice.

 

hey chica! well, I answered your first q already Smile I think that dating is not about age but about the individual. If you tihnk you are ready, and your parents are okay with it, 12 isn't too young for some fun group dates.

xoxo

Would you say 12 is to young for a cellphone?

 

hey girl! I didn't get a cellphone until I was almost 14. but it's all about what your parents think is right!

What do you think the appropriate age to date is?

 

hey girl! I don't think dating is all about age, rather it's about the individual.

I am in grade 7. This guy asked me out and I really don't want to be mean. So I said sure. But do you think I am too young? I am going to be 13 next February. What do you think? Also its nothing more than just sitting beside each other, and going on big group dates. Thanks for the advice!

 

hey girl! Dating isn't about age, it's about the individual. To me, it doesn't sound like you're ready. It's not mean to say no, you have to do what works best for you. If you will be uncomfortable and won't enjoy yourself, I wouldn't go!

xoxo

MOD MOD MOD!! How can I convince my mom to let me hang out with my guy friend? Also I'm 13 am I too young to kiss? Thanks so much!! xoxo

 

Hey girlie, 13 isn't too young kiss. But it's important to be ready for your first kiss, and want to kiss the boy you're with. It'll be easier to convince your mom if you and your guy friend are hanging out in a public place. You can also try bringing a friend to make your mom feel more comfortable with it.
