I'll keep this one short and sweet. I am a fourteen-year-old freshman girl. Well, I have a friend who apparently is bi-sexual, and asked out one of his friends who is a boy, and the friend said he didn't want to spoil their friendship, so it was dropped. But then, about a month later, my friend asked me out. Should I be insulted? I mean, I am in no way against gays or anything, but it is a little... I don't know. I do dress kind of boyish I will admit. I dress in zip-up hoodies that I find on sale in the men’s department, but I didn't know it was THAT bad. Should I take a hint, and change myself? Or, am I just over reacting?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help! :)

Second, even if he did think of you as kind of boyish, changing yourself is a bad idea. If you start changing to something you're not, it's going to get worse and worse until you're just doing a lame impersonation of yourself. If you want to start girly-ing up your wardrobe, though, do what you're comfortable with. A headband, a necklace, a ring, etc can be good contrast against a baggy sweater.
