What's so weird about being single?

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
When boys ask me out, I always say no. It’s because I don’t like anyone that much and don’t need all that drama in my life. My friends think I should start dating so they always make fun of me about it, which makes me feel awkward and upset. How can I let the boys down in a way that won’t hurt their feelings?

Dear Heartbreaker,

It’s perfectly OK to say a sweet, “No, but thank you anyway,” with zero explanation, or, “Thanks, but I don’t want to date anyone right now.” If you’re not comfortable being so direct, you can let a guy down gently and tell him that your parents won’t let you date. No need to swear off boys forever, but it’s admirable that you listen to your heart rather than to other girls’ opinions. When friends jeer or push, remind yourself that their immaturity is their problem and not yours.

It is totally okay to be single. I'm single myself Smile I did have two guys ask me out before, but one was a good friend (who turned out to be gay and my sister blames me for "making" him gay, I know it's not my fault) and the other, I didn't even know him that well. I believe that you should really get to know someone and enjoy being around him before dating, because if you don't then it's like you're dating a complete stranger. But I guess my main reason why I'm single is because I'm not interested in dating. I did have the urges of wanting a boyfriend, but I'm over it now. Smile

MOD!
My bf and I broke up a week ago and we agreed to just be friends. He will text me (and I text him) on occasion, but he will completely ignore me at school! We will pass each other in the hall, but he will stare straight ahead (while we were dating I hardly ever saw him during school.) He even spoke to my sister in the hall (after I had passed by) and told her "hello, good to see you." Last week, he started coughing near my table at a club meeting and I jokingly asked "dying?" but he kept coughing and turned away. Should I ask him what's up with the shunning? He also asked me to prom before we broke up and I'm not sure if that still stands. I really want to know why he's doing this, but I don't know how to approach him. Thanks!

 

Hey girlie, he might just need some time to be ready to be friends. It's hard to make that switch to friends immediately. Talk to him about it (and prom) and see what you two can come up with.

MOD
My friend who I have a crush on just broke up with his gf. I really want to ask him out but I am afraid to. He broke up with her last week but said he wanted to break up with her way before that. I believe that he is over her and he doesn't jump from gf to gf. How long should I wait before making a move? And what do guys think about girls that straight up ask them out? PLEASE HELP ME, MOD!

Hey girlie, wait at least a few more weeks. Even if he's over her, he still needs some time to himself to figure things out. Generally guys like when girls ask them out. It takes the pressure off of them so it's not so hard.
