My friend Melissa met this boy Bob who goes to her school. They just started talking one day, and now they talk alot. The problem is that Bob doesn't really seem to be "at her speed". For example, he's already talking about them "doing it" and he wants her to come to his house. But Melissa's not ready for that stuff yet. What should she do? My advice is for her to tell him she just wants t be friends, but I'm not even sure whether she likes him or not. What's your advice? Thanks
Additional info, added Tuesday January 30 2007, 2:04 pm: by the way, they just met. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

But consider it from her point of veiw, does she want it? Does she even like him like that? She's a grown woman now (although she is young) and should be capable of telling him what she wants and doesn't want. Me and my gf started going out a year ago and we had sex 1 week after we started going out, I've proposed to her and she's even accepted. I'm trying to say that there are some cases where it will work, however, that kind of thing doesn't happen very often.
Swiss answered Tuesday January 30 2007, 4:22 pm: Okay, you're her friend. First: ask her if she likes him. If so, that's fine that she does. What's not okay, is that he's moving too fast. She's young, they just met, you can't let her...do it with him. If she does like him, let her tell him she likes him, but make sure she tells him she's not ready. That she won't be ready for a while. If they want to go out, let them go out. But under no circumstances, none whatsoever, DO NOT LET HIM PRESSURE HER!!! If he does, move on. If he wants to force her into doing something she doesn't want to do, he's not the one for her. Good luck! [ Swiss's advice column | Ask Swiss A Question ]
