CRUSHES

I'm not allowed to date yet, but guys ask me out. What do I tell them? I don’t want to send them the wrong message.

Be flattered that guys are asking you out! Clearly they see your beauty—inside and out. But if you’re not allowed to date yet, you’re not allowed to date yet.

If ya don’t want to give a guy the impression that you’re not into him, just tell him the truth—you’re not permitted to accept his invite as much as you might like to.

But just ‘cause ya can’t date doesn’t mean ya can’t get to know guys as friends. Will your parents permit you to hang out with a coed group of kids? Can you hang out with a guy when there’s parental supervision? Find out what your parents will allow, and get to know these guys in a way that your rents are comfortable with.
