xogiggles37xo answered Tuesday May 9 2006, 12:48 pm: i really dont know... normally you should just say what comes out at the moment but that can be really mean sometimes, without meaning to. all i can say to you is that one day soon you might end up liking the guy after him asking you to the dance and to watch out for that.

herbivore answered Tuesday May 9 2006, 7:06 am: hey. you should just say... although i am so happy that you wanted to go with me, i said that i would go with my fiends, and i really didnt want a date. or you could maybe hook up the guy with one of your friends. but dont be afraid to put your foot down. hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥ [ herbivore's advice column | Ask herbivore A Question ]
TheTeenGirl answered Tuesday May 9 2006, 12:02 am: Remember that taking rejection is really hard, so I'm glad that you want to do this as gently as possible.
You should say something along the lines of, "I'm really flattered that you'd want to go with me, but I really don't want to" or if you already have someone taking you, tell him that someone else has already asked.
Teza answered Monday May 8 2006, 11:33 pm: Be honest with him and just tell him you want to have fun with your friends and that you want to go with him but as friends. Don't use any lines or make up excuses because that would hurt him even more. At the dance, talk with him and just have a good time. =) [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
orphans answered Monday May 8 2006, 11:02 pm: Be honest. Don't use any lines like "I'm just not ready right now" or anything like that. It's offensive. Just tell him you don't like him like that. Just say you want to go with your friends. It's better to shoot him down than lead him on.
x3candiigrl answered Monday May 8 2006, 11:00 pm: Tell him that you wanted to go by yourself or with a group of your friends, or if you were hoping someone else might add you tell him that someone might ask you if his parents let him go. Or you could just tell him you dont like him like that, but make sure you let him know you like him as a friend, or a brother =] [ x3candiigrl's advice column | Ask x3candiigrl A Question ]
greeneyedgirl9o answered Monday May 8 2006, 10:04 pm: just be honest, and dont use lines, it makes it more offending. speak from your heart, tell him you dont feel the same about him as he does about you, and you wouldnt want to lead him on. it should be gentle and kind, dont make him feel bad or be rude. i think your going to do fine because you ibviously care enough to ask a way thats less painful, so you know that feelings should be spaired here! good luck!

LadyGoodman answered Monday May 8 2006, 9:56 pm: Say, I'm sorry, I just wanted to go alone and have fun with my friends.
If you're waiting for someone else to ask you or you're going to ask someone else, you could just say you were planning on going with someone else already.
As long as you're just nice about it and don't make some disgusted face at him when he asks you, I don't think there's even a slight chance he'll be traumatized by the rejection. :) [ LadyGoodman's advice column | Ask LadyGoodman A Question ]
