Question Posted Wednesday October 28 2009, 7:19 pm
Okay, I'm fourteen(female) and I'm a freshman in highschool. So here's the deal. There's this sophomore(male) (almost sixteen) Ive been "talking" to for the past few months, and I realllllly like him. He knows I like him, and he likes me too and I guess you could say we date a little but it's nothing exclusive and we agreed to take it very slow. Well then there is this junior boy... I do not like him, at all. In fact, he creeps me out a little and he's been trying to ask me out lately. He's asked me to go on like three dates and I've said no each time. I've told him everything; that I'm kind of involved with someone else, I'm not interested, my parents won't let me... (all of those things are true by the way. And since I'm like young for my grade, he's like three years older than me) He doesn't seem to get the point. I could just totally bitch him out and turn him down cold but he's like a popular junior guy. Really popular. And if he got mad at me, he could definitely make my life hell... So now I don't know what to do. Oh and by the way, this junior guy only wants "to f*** me" as he's basically told me... So what should I do about the junior and how should I handle the sophomore who is starting to get really jelous and angry... What should I do???

You have told this boy on more than one occasion NO. I would suggest the next time he asks you out that you tell him straight out you have no interest in dating him and would he please stop harassing you for a date. Hopefully you will have some friends around to hear this.
Schools have a zero tolerance when it comes to sexual harassment. So make sure the next time he asks you for a date you say no and THAT YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN DATING HIM AND HE SHOULD STOP HARRASING YOU. Make sure you use the word HARRASSING.
If he continues to ask you for dates you should report him to the proper authority within the school and let them handle from there. You should also inform your parents so that they can see to it that the school authorities handle this properly.
Please remember one thing about this situation; you are at no fault here and you have done nothing to bring this on yourself. The fault for this is all on the young man who has not learned how to take no for an answer. By reporting him now you may be saving other girls/women from him from something far more serious. The sooner he learns no means no the safer you and other girls/women will be from him. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

If he asked you out and you told him no than good for you. If he keeps asking than I would be straight forward about it by saying "I am not interested in you and I have a boyfriend" than walk away. What should you do about it? Move on, Stick with the sophomore and ignore the junior if you two are dating than sooner or later he should get a hint. Ignore it [ One_Whisper's advice column | Ask One_Whisper A Question ]
