I have two boys that like me but I
don't like either of them. One tries to flatter me with saying my hair looks
bad then the next moment he is sitting next to me saying I'm pretty! The other
one talks to me on Facebook and begs me to be his girlfriend. I'm in 7th grade
and I don't want a boyfriend but he keeps pushing. What should I do?
Hey girl! This is a sticky situation.
But it’s good that you know exactly how you feel, so at least you’re not trying
to decide between the two boys. Yikes! Boys sometimes have ridiculous ways of
showing that they like you. One moment Boy #1 is picking on you and the next
he’s flattering you, while Boy #2 is practically down on his knees begging for
you to be his girlfriend! I can understand why that’s just way too much to
handle.
The best thing to do is let these
boys know your feelings ASAP. Imagine if you liked a guy who didn’t like you
back. They’ll probably be disappointed, but at least you were honest. No matter
if Boy #1 is making jokes or flattering you, do your best to ignore him. As
long as you respond to what he says, you’re only adding fuel to the fire. If
you hold your ground and ignore him, he’ll probably get the picture. As for Boy
#2, the next time he sends you a desperate plea to be his GF, tell him that
you’re just not interested in having a BF right now.
Plus there’s good news: you have a
summer free of these boys to look forward to. Since you won’t be seeing them at
school anymore, you probably won’t have to worry too much about them bugging
you.
