Question Posted Saturday September 24 2005, 4:03 pm
I'm 14 and a Freshman in high school.
Last year at my 8th grade end of the year formal dance, I slow danced a few dances with this guy i knew named John. According to rumor he liked me. in the days after the dance i was very confused as to weather i liked him or not (now i know i didnt really like him, but the fact that he liked me made me think i liked him... werid i know) my friends took charge telling me i liked him and made me invite him to my "8th grade graduation party" There it was a little awkard... cuz he's the shyer type and i was with all my friends and stuff as well... but nothing really happened there. In about three days... he asked me out (my friends arranged it, so when he asked me to meet him at the park i knew what it was for) he brought me a rose and everything and it was really sweet. I said yes. It was summer, so in the days following he left for vacation and later so did i. we talked on the phone alot, but i always felt awkard talking to him... it never seemed like our conversations flowed smoothly or anything. when i finally got home from vacation.. i pretty much avoided him for a couple weeks. Using my broken ankle as an excuse (it really was broken). Then i finally got up the courage to break up with him.he just said "ok" and we didnt talk for the rest of the summer. when school started again (we're going to the same high school) i was friendly and stuff, but no biggie. at the back to school dance he asked me to dance during the last song of the night. ... i retunctantly said ok. then my friends saved me "you're dad is here!" lol
that was a month ago.... now we wave and say hi when we see each other, which isnt often. i've heard he still likes me, and the other day he called me... and i missed his call, but he didnt leave a message so i never called him back. (i had heard that he was going to ask me to go to the dance with him) Homecoming Dance is tonight and i'm afraid that he's going to ask me to dance... and well i want to say no. But how can i do it without hurting his feelings too bad?? and being polite and nice and stuff

DONT lead him on. it will only hurt him worse in the end. you still can dance with him i mean NOBODY said you cant dance with your friend. you know what i mean?? just explain to him the truth and dont hold anythign back. yea it might hurt him but dont you think it would beetter form him to know then to find out the hard way and him being mad at you and never wanting to talk to you again?? well good luck and i hope i helped you out.

Just tell him you don't think you two would make a cute couple and you were planning on going with your friends. Make sure you tell them (your friends) that you don't want to go with him so they don't set anyhting up. If his feelings get hurt and he shows it at least you ended it and didnt let him keep asking you and asking you and getting turned down over and over. If he kept getting turned down it would probabky hurt him more. [ emster812's advice column | Ask emster812 A Question ]
