Ok this is kind of complicated. I am 13/f and all my friends have had 5+ boyfriends. I havent. I really like this one guy (lets call him James) and we flirt alot but hes also a close friend. I care for him so much. Well lately this month I have had about 4 guys ask me out. The problem is I DONT like them this way. My friends and other people are getting angry that im turning them all down but I feel as if if I go out with them im just lying to myself and not giving them what they deserve. They are all nice guys but I only like James. My friends are saying im being stupid and letting the chance to finnally have a boyfriend slip away. I have told them before that I wanted one but I want to share some sort of connection with the guy first. My friends all say its just a guy and I should just for the status but I dont know. Should I just forget about James and give these guys a chance? I have no idea...
Additional info, added Friday March 2 2007, 11:48 pm: Oh im also friends with these guys like they know me and the reason one of them likes me is cause im nice to him but I still feel soo comfortable with James and just happier when he's around. I also feel really terrible when I turn these guys down.... Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

When you turn guys down, tell them that you appreciate it but you don't want to lose their friendship and you don't feel about them that way. If your friends bug you about it, tell them that they shouldn't tell you how to feel.
And you 15, for god's sake. You have tons of time to gets boyfriends and get that "status". Do whatever you want. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
