Question Posted Saturday November 11 2006, 9:52 pm
A girl at school just found out who i liked. She went( right in front of me) and told the schools Big Mouth who and he shouted it! I'm afraid that she went up and told him. I really want to ask him out but i'm afraid that he'll laugh at me. What should I do? Please Help!!!! I am 13.
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do to prevent this from getting back to him because the damage has been done. This girl already spread the word and Big Mouth Kid did the rest of the work. You can do NOTHING about it so you need to stop worrying about that. Instead, beat them to it. I know that sounds awful but trust me on this. It's FAR less embarrassing to tell someone you like them under these circumstances than to have someone else tell them on your behalf.
Take my word for this. Next time you see him, regardless of how well you know him, stride STRAIGHT up to him, look him directly in the eye and say "Hi. You may have heard the odd rumour going round about me liking you. Well, it's true and I wanted you to hear it from me, rather than just from a bunch of mindless gossips. That's all!" Then flash him your best smile, turn on your heel and walk away. He'll think your confident and witty and people won't care enough to keep gossiping once the gossip got back to the guy in question. I know it probably sounds really embarrassing but it's the best way to nip this in the bud. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

If he laughs at you, he's not worth it.
Unless it's his way of showing you.. he likes you too?
I don't know.. guys are weird.
But if you aren't really friends.. then you should go up to him and try to hang out with him. It might take some time to do that.. but if you could do that.. maybe you could go on a date?

Go sit with him at lunch or something and get to know him, be bold, and hey, start flirting. But, if you think that he doesn't like you like that don't change yourself, just be friends. But,
If you already are friends, go for it and ask him. And remember, always have a plan(place, time, activities)but, don't make it seem like you have one (e.x. "Hey, I hear this movie is really good, maybe Friday night we could go see it together) If he already knows that you like him he'll probably already know what to say. If he rejects you just say, "Hey, maybe another time." And if he says yes, Right on! Have fun. [ krista121's advice column | Ask krista121 A Question ]
