I try to answer as many questions from other teens as I can. However, the question I have seen the most since I joined a few weeks ago is “I am afraid of rejection. How do I ask him/her out?” Well unless I’m mistaken there is no magic way to ask people out. Either he/she likes you or they don’t. The only person that can make him/her like you is your self.

About rejection, I always tell them that if they never try, they’ll never know. Am I right?

Also, we can tell you what we think would be best, but it is not going to be 100% guaranteed to work. Please don’t blame us if things don’t work out. All of the Aunts and Uncles here try very hard to help you.

I say this because a lot of times people ask what exactly to say. On top of this they usually leave out a lot of information such as age group the other boy/girl are in, or even what age they’re in. Especially the 13-15 age group. From 13 to 15, I think the opinion of what love is and how it is shown and received changes greatly. I always tell them that if they don’t feel comfortable with my advice then don’t use it as we can’t predict how someone will react but we can try to help them. But I still have a little guilt because if they say or do exactly what I tell them to do, and things don’t work out I think then they feel they have to blame us and that they really aren’t at fault.

I guess my point is people may over analyze what we type, so we should be careful what we type.

My message to the readers is not to over analyze what we type. Take it all with a grain of salt and if there is something that you don't think will work, don’t do it.

I love answering these types of questions, as I have a lot of experience, and each one usually throws in a new twist. Plus it’s just helping teens like me. But I want to make sure I’m giving the best advice I can. So any feedback if I’m doing anything wrong or also what you think about them over analyzing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
