OK, I was at school today and a fifth grader who I danced with at a dance ONCE asked me out through one of my friends. I'M AN EIGHTH GRADER!!!! I told my friend to tell him no thatnks and I think she DID carry on the correct message but I think he told everyone we were going out and now people are making fun of me because they think I'm going out with a fifth grade russian. I mean, I don't care that he's russian but isn't the girl supposed to know when she's going out with somebody and now I have a dance tonight and I'm afraid he's going to ask me to dance and I really don't want to hurt his feelings but I don't want to get any rumors started again. Please respond quickly because I have to leave at 7:15. I need to know what I should do and I don't trust myself to make the decision. Now it's 4:26

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest talking with him. of course he may be sad if you tell him you don't like him this way, but it's always good to know the truth.

sunnyrocks04 answered Friday January 23 2004, 10:33 pm: I got this message after 7:15, so your already gone. But, what I think you should have done was just twll him you don't like him. Why, should you care at the moment if you hurt his feelings? He must have a pretty big head to start this rumor in the 1st place. [ sunnyrocks04's advice column | Ask sunnyrocks04 A Question ]

aka_kittkatt answered Friday January 23 2004, 5:58 pm: Talk to him in person and tell him you don't like him. After that, if he continues to spread rumours, ignore him. Sounds harsh, but otherwise you're giving him false hopes. [ aka_kittkatt's advice column | Ask aka_kittkatt A Question ]
Whatever answered Friday January 23 2004, 5:36 pm: You have two options here, First option is you could call him up and tell him that your friend told you that he wanted to ask you to the dance and that you would like to tell him yourself that you are not interested because... (make up some lame excuse or something)in that case you'll be sure he won't ask you to dance tonight. Second option is, if he ask you to dance tonight, just simply say "No thanks" and walk away. Don't worry about getting his feelings hurt because he shouldn't be spreading a rumor that you two were together when in fact you're not. Stay away from him as much as possible. Gossips like this dies on it's own...Keep your chin up and have tonight! [ Whatever's advice column | Ask Whatever A Question ]
