What's so weird about being single?

  • My best gal is branching out...and I'm not OK with it
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.

MOD MOD MOD!!!
So I finally asked my crush on a date. it's going to be our friends (they're dating) and us two. Her are my problems.
1.what should I wear!?
2. Should I sit by him?
3. We are trying to see a R-rated movie. How do I convince my mom to take me?
Thanks mods, xoxo.

 

hey girl! wear something that makes you feel confident. you'll want to look cute but casual since it's a movie date. and think layers since it's winter! Yes, I tihnk you should sit by him. If you're under 17 be prepared for mom to say no. there's a reason movies are rated R, because they're either scary or really graphic.

MOD MOD MOD HIDE THIS
I'm homeschooled and 15 lately Iv been feeling sad Iv been thinking about guys and having a bf
I see all these girls my age with boyfriends but me I feel like theirs something wrong with me
I have mild asbergers so I can't be around a lot of people so it's harder for me to meet new people
When I'm out though a lot of guys smile and stare at me I'm so shy so I usually just put my head down or look the other way my mom wants to sign me up for this church youth group
Should I do it? also I'm afraid that if I ever do get a boyfriend
And he finds out that I have asbergers he'll think theirs something wrong with me
and he'll break up with me

 

hey girl! I think the youth group is a fantastic idea. it'll help you meet new people and give you the opportunity to get to know some guys!

xoxo

I do martial arts, and I am really confident when my crush isn't around. When he is around, I stop being confident. I get really nervous. Last class, I started laughing while I was fighting. My crush and his friends thought I was crying. Then, after that, once I got in the car, my mom left something in the studio and she said for my uncle to watch my little brothers. My little brothers saw my crush (they overhear me and my mom's convos about him, so they know I like him) and they screamed his name and spelled it out. My uncle even did it too! My crush looked over. He definitely noticed. I was mortified. I started crying my eyes out. I actually got rejected by my crush a few months ago, and things were finally getting better. It seems like he likes me now. Now, I'm worried that he'll think I'm weird. What do I do when I see him tomorrow? He knew something was up.

 

hey girl! just try and play it cool. he may not even remember it! just be yourself and it'll work out

xoxo
