Hey, I'm 14 and I love giving advice. My friends say that I'm amazing at it, and they always come to me when they have a problem and they need advice on it. Feel free to ask me anything, and I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities! I probably answer friend relationships, pets, and theatre questions the best so if you have questions in those topics I'll be more than happy to help out! :)

My best friend is in some sort of a self-esteem rut or something. He and I are both 17/M. He used to be a 24/7 cheery and funny guy, but ever since he started thinking about getting a girlfriend, he's gotten to be more and more depressing. I tried to help him out, you, know, pushed him to ask out girls he likes, but he would always just say something like "She'll say no. Even if she says yes, I'd be a terrible boyfriend."
Now, I'm seeing less and less of him because he's spending more and more time locked up in his room, being depressed. It sucks! I want my friend back and I want the guy to be happy. What do I do? (link)

The whole girlfriend thing probably isn't the only reason why he's feeling depressed. I would ask him what's bothering him and talk to him about how he's been more depressed lately and try to help him out by supporting him. It seems like he has a low self esteem, so try to point out to him why a girl would be stupid enough not to go out with him. If he makes excuses to not asking a girl out, then don't push it. Tell him that if he says those things like "She'll say no." or whatever, then he'll soon be right. He needs to be confident in himself and he won't get a girlfriend that fast if he isn't.
Hope that helps... (:
