Well over the weekend I'm stuck with a huge project over the weekend and...its a group project and two of the guys in the group goof off all the time and are failing the class and the other guy is a cute,nice,funny guy I flirt and joke around with sometimes. He's into the project but he's not into getting everything together. I've got this amazingly funny and fun idea for the project, and the only way I'm gonna get it done is if I do it all by myself. So my question is, do people hate it if you do all the work? Does doing all the work piss people off? Will the guy not like me anymore if I do it by myself?
Thanks so much for helping! :-)

Patricia answered Tuesday March 22 2005, 2:14 pm: In all honesty, it doesn't seem like the two guys who are failing seem to care WHAT you do. On the other hand, the other guy who is into the project may want to work with you. Don't leave him completely out of it, HELP HIM get it together (who knows...it may even attract him to you more if he sees you taking action). If you two work on the project together and get it done, be sure to let your teacher know that the other two guys in the group contributed NOTHING and that you and the other guy were stuck doing all the work. I'm sure your teacher will understand! [ Patricia's advice column | Ask Patricia A Question ]
partygurl24 answered Saturday March 19 2005, 4:42 pm: Wow, you sound like me. When I have a good idea for a class project, I feel the need to get it done all by myself because I already have the paln of how I want it to look like. That's one of the main things why I prefer independant projects that group projects. What you should do is ask them if it's ok for you to do it alone. Tell them that you have a great idea for it, and you promise that if you do it all by yourself you won't let them down. They probably won't mind, but if they want to work on a little bit of the project to make it seem like they did something, then think of something extra they could do, whether it's supplying the materials or giving you material that they own and aren't using anymore. Just ask them first, that way you will know how they feel about this. I hope I helped! [ partygurl24's advice column | Ask partygurl24 A Question ]
vballchic89 answered Saturday March 19 2005, 12:55 pm: Well that's kind of strange if they don't like you anymore for doing it yourself... in fact, if they are failing the class, they would probably enjoy it! If you can't get all together then maybe you should call them on the phone and have them look up some things for you and tell you there. I just wouldn't tell the teacher that you did all the work...

MsAnswers answered Saturday March 19 2005, 12:51 pm: well i would tell them to get up off their lazy butts and help you do the project and if they dont dig up some dirt
but of corse you could always tell them to pay you to do the waork or tell them that your not gonna do it with the 2 goof offs and threaten them with the risk of failure. But do it any way and dont let them no that you really did it and tell your teacher that you did all the work
well thats all i got. Its not exactly my best but its still advice.
harpist4u answered Saturday March 19 2005, 10:13 am: Tell him the situation, which I am sure he is aware of and explain to him that you want to get it done. If he want to help he will say so. Either than that, you should do it on your own then go to the teacher and explain that 2 of the boys did not help at all and that they should be excluded from being graded. When I have group projects and certain people don't pitch in at least a little bit I make sure they don't get a grade. It is their fault they didn't do anything and they should not get a free grade out of it. [ harpist4u's advice column | Ask harpist4u A Question ]
craazylau answered Saturday March 19 2005, 9:32 am: If you're happy doing it by yourself it seems unfair on you but go for it! The others really won't mind in fact they'll probably be really pleased! Just make sure they don't think they can take advantage of you another time. Hope it goes well with the cute guy! [ craazylau's advice column | Ask craazylau A Question ]
Sophie_xxx answered Saturday March 19 2005, 4:44 am: I don't think the two dudes who are failing the class and goof around will hate you-they'll probably totally appreciate it.
If I were you I'd ask the cuter guy if it's OK that you do most of the work. I don't think he'd mind; he'll probably trust you and be glad that someone at least is doing it. I can't see him getting into a really big mood with you or anything-there isn't really any reason for him to do so.
Good luck (with the project and with the sweet guy!)

coalgrove05 answered Saturday March 19 2005, 1:25 am: I would atleast make an attempt to get them to help you but if they dont help you they dont care about it they are not gonna get mad about you doin it [ coalgrove05's advice column | Ask coalgrove05 A Question ]
TheTeenGirl answered Saturday March 19 2005, 1:22 am: Well, you will probably end up into trouble if you only do it, and if you tell the others they can't do it, have your flirty guy help you, remember, get the work done, you can save your flirting for afterwords, just sell him on the idea of what you have in mind and he will probably be glad to help you, you can use some help on it.
karenR answered Friday March 18 2005, 10:41 pm: I think i'd ask the funny guy to help.He might be entertainment for you if nothing else.He might be more apt to help out too outside of school.
At the very least make sure they know what you are doing and ask if they want to help.Then you'll know for sure they won't get mad. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
mgh12 answered Friday March 18 2005, 10:40 pm: Just ask them.
lostinside answered Friday March 18 2005, 10:14 pm: It depends on the person. I, personally, am one who would mind. I like doing things my way, I'm very picky, I need everything perfect. Maybe you could try calling him, or IMing him to mention your idea to him. You could ask him if he's ok with you doing it by yourself.
Wenzie answered Friday March 18 2005, 9:11 pm: No not at all i think that he would not mind, and it definatly would not stop him from liking you. [ Wenzie's advice column | Ask Wenzie A Question ]
