a note?


Question Posted Friday December 10 2004, 6:51 am

Ok, well, let me start off by saying i'm a 7th grade girl. Today at lunch this kid named derek passed me a note and said it was from my friend brian. I took one of my girl freinds, tara, to the bathrooom and read the note. It was really orny and soft....it read, "Roses are read, Violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you......will you go out with me?". My friend tara started cracking up while i was numb and shocked from the note. I threw it in the trash and ignored brian the whole day. Now, me being quite popular (not rele popular, but popular as in knoing everyone in our grade and tlk to them and hang) and brian being shy and non-social. It's really weird and almost gross that he asked me out.....i rele don't know how to tell him that i don't want to go out with him at all so that he on't get embarrased and i won't get embarrased. Pleask tell me what i can write to him so he on't get hurt.
Thank-you so much for the help<333

What you just said was really mean and hurtful. It's a good thing that he didn't see that because you made yourself seem as if you were too good for him and you sound conceited. I guess just tell him that you just want to be friends and leave it at that, but I'm glad you're not going to be with him because he seems too nice for you. Sorry if that is harsh and not the advice you wanted to hear, but the way you talked about him was wrong.

Well, I don't think popularity should really matter, but since you don't like him just tell him that you aren't ready for a committment right now and you'd much rather keep him as a friend. Be gentle, and do it when you two are alone.

DemonicScott answered Friday December 10 2004, 3:56 pm:
The ideal thing behind this is to not hurt him. Myself, I've asked out a lot of girls and got turned down without them blinking an eye, and it hurts. Remember, its a perfectly normal human emotion to like someone. What if you liked someone and they didnt like you back? I know for a fact that no one would want to feel hurt about it, because that can be the worst thing. Its best if you tell him that you dont really know him that well and cant really make a decision until you do. Remember, hes a person just like you, and sure he might be a little shy, but you cant just ignore him. Shyness takes a lot to overcome, I used to be very shy and I never talked to anyone of the opposite sex.

Just remember to be very nice about it; I dont think you really want to hurt him, do you?

I would not write him a note. Anyone could see it. Try calling him and telling him that you don't know him well enough to go out with him and that you just want to be friends so ya'll can get to know each other better. Hope im of help!!:)

--ok-you seem like a nice person-cuz ur worried about how he will be embarrased. but also i think you worry to much about wut other people think-you havent even givein this guy a chance-but if you rlly dont want to-then just simply tell him that youv got another guy on your mind-now if you dont plan on ever going out with him-dont tell him maybe later-tell him ur not into him like that and that you think you two could maybe try being friends

xlostangelx answered Friday December 10 2004, 11:37 am:
ok in my opinion, Brian didn't write that note. I think derek and his friends are playing a joke on Brian. You know how the shy kids always get picked on at school. Well, i think this is exactly what this situation is.

Now, if brian really did write the note, then I would give him a chance. being popular doesn't mean anything once you get out into the real world. you need to stop letting popularity come between a possible friendship. and who cares what other ppl think?? i would talk to brian and get to know him a little better.

well good luck~ hope this helped.

PleaseHelpMe answered Friday December 10 2004, 10:43 am:
Being popular isn't everything. This guy could be really cool even thought he might be shy. He must of had a lot of guts to write you that. And if the guys cute, I dont see why it matters that hes shy. Sorry..but your friends wrong for laughing..that's mean. But okay, if you really don't want to go out with him I would call him on the phone. If you write a note people could read it and if you do it in school people will see and even if you take him somwhere else they'll probably get the wrong idea about that. So call him on the phone. Try to be nice..lol and don't laugh. Say your really sorry but you have a bf. Simple as that. ..Bye

MysteryGirl22 answered Friday December 10 2004, 10:39 am:
Let me just tell you to make sure you don't want to go out with him, cause he could turn out really sweet...Idk him tho, so if he really is weird, here's some suggestion on how to tell him:
~Tell him the classic: you just wanna be friends
~Say that you don't really want a bf right now
~You don't like him that way, but he's really nice or some sort of compliment like that
~Tell him that you don't really know him that well, and maybe you guys should be friends for awhile and see what happens

I wouldn't write note, because anyone could see the note and read it. You probably should call him on the phone, that way no one else could see or hear what you tell him unless he wants them too. Just tell him that you don't feel the same way about him as he does about you, but that you still want to be friends(if you do), and that you are really flattered that he likes you and all. But stop ignoring him, that is really hurtful.
I hope this helps, :)

Daisy answered Friday December 10 2004, 10:05 am:
Ok, with you being popular it would have taken real guts for him to even think about writing you the note let alone giving it to you. He will be feeling really down right now especially as you are ignoring him. If you can't talk to him face to face then write him a note and say you are really flattered but you don't want a boyfriend right now. Say that you are sorry for ignoring him but you didn't know what to say. The nicer the note, the better both you and he will feel and it won't be so awkward and you won't need to ignore him.Good luck!
