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

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!

Lauren I,
Thanks for responding! One of my friends did give him my number, but after she found out how I felt she said she was sorry about it. I definitely don't want to lead him on because that could hurt him more in the future. Even though I don't know him, I still don't want to hurt him. While I do know that rejection is going to hurt, I know it will be better to let him know how I feel now instead of waiting.

 

 Hey girly, no prob. And you're totally right about rejection being better than leading him on. It might sting for a sec, but he'll get over it fast. And since your friend gave him your number, that's a great excuse to use. You could say anything from your parents don't like you texting people you don't know,  you don't like giving your number out because your not interested in a relationship or you're just not interested in texting. Good luck, babe and I'm super happy to help.

Lauren I.

I was at a party, and a guy who was there thought I was cute. Of course I'm flattered and think it was sweet, but I didn't find out through him, he told my friend and she told me. He didn't talk to me at all at the party though, so I just think he thought I was pretty and he doesn't really like me. Maybe he was shy and nervous, but I don't think that's it. Because I don't know him, I don't like him or have feelings for him. He's texted me but I never texted him him back I didn't know what to say and didn't want to lead him on. I'm just not interested in a relationship right now, but I don't want to hurt him because he never did anything to me. How do I let him know I'm not interested in a nice way?

 

Hey girly, it sounds like you know exactly what you do and don't want. Good for you! Seems like you have a good head on your shoulders. Really, if you ignored this text from him he probably has gotten the hint. Though, if he keeps texting you, this could get tricky. Usually, I would say to drop hints, like talk about crushing on another guy or something like that, but in this case since he isn't really a friend, the more you text him the more he might think that your interested. How did he get your phone number in the first pace? If one of your friends gave him the digits you could try something like "hey, it's nothing personal, but I hate when my friends give out my number. I'm not really into texting. Hope you have a good week" or if he tries asking you out you could say "I'm just not intrested in a relationship." Any rejection might sting a little, but he shouldn't be too hurt since he doesn't really know you and it's always better to know right away than to be lead on, like you said. Good luck, girly!

one thing to do is say that you dont really like going to dances with dates because then you aren't designated to one person, but that you can dance together while your there

MOD MOD MOD.
So me and my boyfriend have been going out for 10 months and his best friend is a girl and it still bothers me. She tried to break us up once. But they are still close. And recently she posted a picture on instagram and they were saying "I love you" to each other. He doesnt know how i feel about her and im afraid to tell him because i dont want him to be mad at me and think that they cant be friends even though i secretly dont want them to (i know it sounds really bad) but i just dont know what to do. She always pushes him around and tells him hes cute. I know she doesnt like me.. she always talks about me and makes me jealous on purpose. im really confused about what to do and i have a feeling that she likes him even though she has a boyfriend. I want to talk to him about it soo bad but i know that if they stop talking then she will know i did something and im afraid to confront her about it since she talks about me and tells people she doesnt like me. i need help.

Hey girl,

This is a tough one, because you don't want to come off as jealous to your boyfriend, but if she says something mean to you, it's okay to bring that up with him! You could also try talking to her in person--say you don't like what she's saying about you. She's probably jealous that he's spending more time with you, so even though it will be hard, why not try to hang out with the three of you together? If you get to know her, you'll all be able to get along. There must be something good about her if he's friends with her, right? It will be a little scary, but the best way to handle conflict is really to talk to someone in person.

So I like this guy who is in my computer class and sits behind me and he also sits behind me in science. His just moved here in late August and I really like him! Two people told me that he likes me. (Wooo!) So, how can I ask for his number without just flat out saying it?

Hey girl,

If you have two classes with him, you could ask for it in case you have a question about schoolwork, or suggest that the two of you study together!
