Hey everyone!
I'm usually that friend everyone goes to for advice. (I'm also the one who gives good advice but doesn't apply it to herself, lol.) Whether I've been in your shoes, or know little of your situation I'll answer honestly and truthfully. I'm here to help.
Some background info for you guys: My parents are divorced. My mother's remarried. I have two older sisters, one with two boys. I'm a Senior in High School.
So go ahead, ask away!

I'm 13/F and well, there's this guy I really like and he likes me back (13/M). He asked me out 4 times already and I said no to all of them. I mean, he didn't sound desperate, in fact he wasn't desperate at all. When he aked me out the 4th time I told him the real reason rather than saying, "because I'm done dating." I told him I couldn't because I didn't want to get in trouble with my family. The catch is, is that he understands, but says "I love you, I miss you," all those gushy things. I say it back to him of course, but it feels weird saying it back because of what my family would think, like they'd think I'm breaking the promise. I don't know how to say it to my mom without me probably getting in trouble. Will I get in trouble? Can anbody help me? please? (link)

Alright, first of all you won't get in trouble. This is absolutely normal at you're age, what you're mom doesn't want is an older guy who probably would only want one thing and we all know what that is. No parent want their child to be tricked. So instead, be honest with this guy and if you're saying I love you, you better mean it. Saying "I like you" in a situation like this is probably even better than saying "I love you", know why? Because you're being truthful and guys usually like when you say things from your heart, not your head. When you find some alone time with your mother, sit down and explain how you like this guy. No don't ask, "Mom can I be his girlfriend?" Just say, "Hey mom, I really like this guy, can I invite him over so he can meet you?" If she says no, don't fret. Give it some time, and try again. Worst thing she can do is say no. Don't be afraid to open up, and always be truthful to your family, doesn't matter if you will "get in trouble". Best of luck! [:
