Hi, I am 12 years old female, 3 guys asked me out and I don't know what to do, I'm to nervous to say yes to one of them and to say no, I don't want to hurt their feelings and I don't think I'm ready to go out on dates, although that's what I've been wanting for a long time...
What should I do??

Number one it hurt more for him to go out with me when he didn't like me that way then it would have been for him to just say no. I know this can be difficult but if you don't like them you have to say no. And don't date someone just because you want a boyfriend you have to wait for there to be someone that you actually really like, because that happened to me too. I dated a guy who told me after we broke up that he only did it because he was desperate. So I know it may feel mean to say no but it really will only work out for the better for both people. Wait for mister right. [ leafyadvice's advice column | Ask leafyadvice A Question ]

You dont have to be mean turning the other guys down. She let them know that you are just living life right now and you would rather not date. They will be ok! Good luck! [ FAIRYGODMTHR's advice column | Ask FAIRYGODMTHR A Question ]

You could simply just tell the guys that you don't know if your comfortable dating at this time. that is the best answer to give, so you know that none of the guys feelings will be too hurt. And the school year is almost over, so if you turn 13 in the summer maybe your parents will be a little lineant and let you find someone
but i am also going to say that it is okay for you to ask your parents for advice. They might just be like- NO your too young- but they also might give u advice that you need. And Also i agree that 12 is A young age to date but it might be okay to start dating around 14. because thats when most people are in high school. And old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. I am only 15 years old so i am not going to comepletly agree with the advice that adviceman49 gave but i am also not going to tell you that it is okay to date at your age [ Justafriend1234's advice column | Ask Justafriend1234 A Question ]
adviceman49 answered Thursday April 7 2016, 9:34 am: You are too young to date. If you were to ask your parents if you could go out on a date they would probably say no. That's your answer; "My parents will not let me date at this time, thanks for asking me."
Dating starts; real dating just you and a guy, when you’re around 16. Group dating starts when you’re around 14. A group date is when a bunch of you, boys and girls decide to all go someplace as a group. It is dating with training wheels as there is safety in numbers.
Still there will be questions asked of you no matter what type of date you go on by your parents. They will want to meet the boy. They will want to know how old he is. If he goes to the same school as you do and how you two met. They will want to know where you two or groups are going and you had better be there for you can expect them to check up on you.
It is not that they do not trust you it is the boy they don't trust. I never went and checked on my son other than the GPS locator on his phone. My sister being a single mother with two girls I become both Uncle and stand-in father when needed. Later her second husband stood in when needed. When the girls dated we both checked up on where they were suppose to be.
I suggest you sit down with your parents now before you start dating and discuss the rules they have for dating and they will have them. Better to get them out now while you are still too young to date so that you can discuss them calmly. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
