Girl likes me and I would be allright with this, but she is a year younger than me and has a boyfriend.
Question Posted Sunday December 4 2011, 3:09 am
I am a 12 year old boy. Yesterday I went to a Christmas party, and there was a conga line. the girl up front came back to me and had her hands on my shoulders. thats okay. but then she moved her hands to my hips. I would be allright with this, but she is a year younger than me, and it was uncomfortable. PLEASE HELP:(

It is a game that kind of pushes boundaries and allows people to touch in ways that would be taboo in normal situations. Some people plan ahead who they want to be near, if they know party games will be played. The best thing you can do in conga is try to get sandwiched between two people you know well, or try not to let her behind you (by moving away). In future situations with her, expect her to try to find ways to sort of make excuses to get near you. Plan ahead, maybe quietly tell a buddy, and stick close to buddy so she doesn't find an "in". But of course, don't be mean. Conga is over quickly, and the boundary-pushing isn't too serious, or shouldn't be. Just as she circled around to you, you as well, have the option of gently yet firmly moving forward and to the side to break away from her and make the line a snake shape again. You could also stage whisper to her, saying, "How would your boyfriend feel if he knew you moved your hands down further?" Or, "Why don't you keep you hands up, since you have a boyfriend?" Was she a short girl? Her arms might have gotten tired, especially if she has an unknown heart abnormality. Did other people move their hands down, too, or just her? Is she so young that she might not have known better? Maybe she doesn't like her boyfriend and maybe he just acts like he's her boyfriend. I never heard of anyone having a boyfriend at such a young age. I think awkward moments increase around your age. When awkward, remember that it will end soon, and try to remember the good things your parents or guardians taught you about manners. Others get awkward, too, and it might make them behave rudely. As long as you are civil, and as long as no one hurts you, you will always be able to hold your head high. [ loveslibraries's advice column | Ask loveslibraries A Question ]
