What's so weird about being single?

  • How to deal with a bad kisser
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 a few months ago, my current crush started acting strange. He asked me at karate if I was taking class, he rested his arm on my shoulder, patted my head, grabbed my leg at a haunted house and "just had" to tell me, and he started asking me questions, like where I go to school. Then, we got into a fight. I liked his best friend, and I told his best friend. The best friend gave me his number on fb. Then, I got a message from my current crush saying that his bff doesn't like me, but then he immediately asked if I liked him! I admit, I've always sort of liked him, even when I liked the bff, but to be safe, I said "no, just as a friend". He seemed disappointed after that, but then the next day, he tickled my neck. I told him I liked him a month later on fb, but he didn't respond. He saw it. Now, he's been joking around with me a lot. Should I ask him tomorrow "I've been noticing that you've been being more playful with me than usual. Do you like me?" Thanks (:

 

hey girl! I've totally talked to you about this before...I think it's time to make a move! He may still like you, but you'll never know until you make it clear you like him and ask him.

That's great that you're single because you want to be and not datimg just because of peer pressure. Keep up the good work!

@puelle94, don't worry. I had that same problem not too long ago.I wanted to do date but no guys liked me. I became okay with being single and focused on being myself and that attracted my guy friend. Now we're dating. My point is to just be patient and enjoy life and to be yourself because everyone else is already taken.

Momd mod mod mod Well I'm like this too except people have talked me in to dating guys (2 so far) that I don't like. I always deny many times and then they get me thinking well it might be good, then the next day I regret it and I don't want to hurt their feelings. Or lead them on. I just got out of a relationship with the second guy and I don't want it to. Happen again.

 

hey girl! hmmm...I don't really know what your question is. But don't let other people try and tell you what your feelings are. When it comes to dating, you gotta do what you want to do and are comfortable doing.

xoxo

MOD!my bgf confessed to me but i said that i don't want to go out with him. Then he stopped talking to me and visiting me and i really missed it. i thought that i liked him so i telled him that i wanted to go out with him. but now it really is starting to annoy me and i want to breakup with him but i don't know if i should or how to break up with him. Please help!

 

hey girl! don't stay in a relationship if you don't like the guy. thats called leading someone on, and it's not very nice. I know it's tough, but it's only whats best!

xoxo
