the_haha_boat answered Tuesday August 31 2004, 7:22 pm: I think that tomorrow when you see him you should tell him that you thought he was joking, and instead ask him out (that is, if you like him.) If you don't have feelings for this kid then you need to tell him that you extremely like him as a friend but nothing more that that and you are sorry about yesterday.

babygirl17 answered Tuesday August 31 2004, 7:06 pm: I was kind of in the same situation with my boyfriend now Tony. He always joked around with me and asked me out when he didnt really want to be with me. but one day he asked me out.. and I did the same thing you did. I laughed and said no.. I felt really bad afterward because he was upset with me. But when I talked to him I just told him that i thought he was kidding with me because he had done that alot to me before. and if you guys joke around alot together. tell him that.. He will understand. If you want to be with him. You need to tell him before its too late. and if you dont want to be with him. Tell him why you dont want to be with him..
I hope this helped. If you need anything send one to my inbox

funkychick107 answered Tuesday August 31 2004, 5:03 pm: Well, if he seemed like he was joking, then your reaction was sorta ok. You couldhave asked, r u serious? but u didnt, so its ok. But go up to him and tell him ur really sry, u thought he was joking. If u do like him, tell him u will give him a chance, and if u dont, tell him ur better of as friends. Hope I helped!

xo_Ali answered Tuesday August 31 2004, 4:49 pm: First off, you definatly need to apologize and make sure he understands that you thought he was joking. If he wasn't joking would you still say no? Because you should tell him that, just in a nicer tone. Tell him that you love being his friend and you don't feel right making the next step. If you think he could be a potential boyfriend, give him a chance. You never know. After you go out with him you might see him in a diferent light. If it's just not working try and go back to the way it was. Just make sure he know you still like him, just not in that way. Good luck! [ xo_Ali's advice column | Ask xo_Ali A Question ]

xForeverxForgottenx answered Tuesday August 31 2004, 4:46 pm: tell him that you thought he was just joking. and that you're sorry if you hurt him. and then if you like him then yeah give him a chance. but if you dont then tell him that you're sorry but you dont see him as a boyfriend and that you still want to be really good friends. hope i helped. good luck.
