Friend a hinder or help?


Question Posted Wednesday August 25 2004, 10:33 pm

I like this guy Brian, and he likes me back. He doesn't want to ask me out though because he thinks asking people out is dumb because then they never really do anything. I can see where he is coming from but I mean com'on! Well my friend was talking to him and she was agreeing with him on everything about hot you never go out and you stop talking, and I mean i guess it's kinda true. But I really want him to ask me out! So it's kind of like she is working against me. Then after she said I should be thankful for her even sending me the conversation, which was totally useless because all it did was make me upset. What should I say to her to make her realize how I'm feeling? By the way I'm in 7th grade.

You could tell your friend that you didn't appreciate being sent the conversation log because it was insensitive given that you liked him and didn't want to read details about how he doesn't want to ask [anybody] out. It sounds like she was acting on good intentions and just wanted to keep you informed, but this is something that she should be telling you herself. If you are upset about the way she behaved, talk to her about it, but be reasonable in the way you approach the topic or she's likely to just get defensive and the discussion won't get very far.

As for the guy, relax. I don't think saying he doesn't want to ask somebody out means he isn't interested in being in a relationship, it just means he's wary of a very clichéd course of events where a very young guy asks out a girl, they hang out twice and then suddenly they are 'boyfriend and girlfriend' without ever having really done anything that qualifies them as such. If you like him, try and get to know him as a friend and see where it goes - you may well find that you naturally become romantically involved without him asking you out and doing traditional 'date' activities that he maybe isn't interested in. Good luck!

Well your only in 7th grade. theres tons of guys out there TRUST ME! But maybe your friend likes him, because my best friend USED to do it and it always made the guy like her and not me anymore. All you gotta do is, dont rely on your friend/s to help you with boy stuff! it never works! Seriously.. your friend will start saying "well i was being nice cause i didnt want to hurt his feelings or make him mad." yah right when shes really flirting. Just do everything yourself. If he doesnt want a girlfriend then forget it. Dont pressure him into doing something hes not wanting to do right now. If you respect him like that then hes gunna be like .."hey shes really understanding.." so yeah. hope i helped! -aMaNdA<3*

If this boy likes you, and you like him and you guys chyll a lot I think you should just say hey lets go out or something spontanious! Be different! As for your friend, I think you should just tell her how your feeling. Everyone has their own opinions! And for the boy just tell him or do it youself!! =)

Geez, that sounds just like how our relationships are!! haha, well if you know he likes you, stop waiting for him, just ask him yourself! As for your friend, just try talking to her and tell her how you feel. Don't get all up in her face though, you want to be calm. Don't yell at her because maybe there is a piece of the story that you're missing.

You should tell your friend exactly how you feel, but before you do that you should try to figure out why she did what she did. I mean, maybe she's jealous. And hey, why wait for him to ask you out? Why don't you ask him out? What's the worse that could happen? If he says no, at least you'll know how he feels.
