My Friend's (Nonexistent) Sadies Date
Ok, to start off, this really DID happen to my friend - not to me, who's just pretending it happened to my friend!!! Haha :)
Everyone in the situation is 14 / a freshman.
My friend Danielle takes piano lessons, and a boy, Isaiah, has a lesson right after hers. She started to really think he was cool (about a year ago), but never really talked to him. (She's pretty shy/self conscious about things like that. Plus, there's barely any time for them to talk.) However, she started talking to him little by little at piano lessons, for the past few weeks.
So, we do indoor track, and so does Isaiah.
He seems to have a lot of friends, but he's very quiet seeming. She has lots of friends, too, but might be a bit more talkative. Although she's quite worried about her appearance, what others think, etc.
So, she mustered up the courage to CALL him, and ask him to our Sadie Hawkins dance, which was a HUGE step for her! I mean, she's NEVER done anything like that.
She was getting all excited/nervous about it alllll day at our track meet. Then...he said no. He said he thought he was busy. But then she was reallly depressed and has now lost all hope in her future of boys. I had a feeling he might say no, because he goes to a different school, and they barely know eachother. But I don't know what to tell Danielle, because she was expecting/ hoping he would say yes.
I know him a little, (or, i know of him) because my mom worked with his dad and his older brother used to babysit me. He seems like a nice kid.
Please advise me on how i can help my friend! She's pretty upset about it. I know she'll be OK but what kind of things can i tell her to make her feel better? Any tips on how to get him to notice her more, at the next few meets, etc.?
Thank you so much! :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
For one, If he dont like her then he just simply dont like her. You can try to get him to notice her more but unless he has feelings then it pobably wont work.
However, I dont want to be negative theres always hope. He might have actually been busy or has a gf that he would need to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with. As for your friend it must be hard taking that big step and asking him to the dance.
That doesnt mean she should give up it might not be the right person for her.
B€ST of luck!

Well, if you examine the situation, your friend has a few options:
A: Don't give up, get to know him (flirt and such) and ask him if he's interested in going to the dance.
B: Move on. There are plenty of other besides Isaiah. Besides, you don't want to scare him off by asking again, do you?
You said he "thought he was busy"? He should KNOW if he's busy (unless you just worded it wrong). If he think he's busy, he's probably trying to avoid it. Maybe he's in love with someone else?
Perhaps he's just to shy around the people who are at your school. I mean, I'd be pretty shy if I went to a dance at another school full of people I've never met before.
I wish you and your friend the best of luck!
