writes: OK, there was this guy in my class who I had a crush on, and he seemed to like me too. He'd joke around with me all the time and punch me playfully every now and then. He'd constantly poke me in the side. All my friends told me that he must like me, because they'd seen the way he acted around me.Well, our school had a big Spring Dance, and I asked him to it. Actually, I had one of my friends ask him for me. They said they asked him if he liked me and he said "Why do you care?" but when they asked him if he'd go to the dance with me he said "I hate dances. I'm not going. Tell her I'm sorry though." and my friend said he was really nice about it. But the next day at school he completely avoided me, and all his friends teased him when they found out I had asked him out.He ended up changing his mind about going to the dance, but he didn't go with me. He still hasn't stopped avoiding me. Do you think the reason he avoids me is because his friends tease him? Or is it because he doesn't like me? I kind of still like him, so do you think that maybe in a year or two I should ask him out again once he's matured more?

I think he's avoiding you because he doesn't like the way he's handled the whole thing. His friends teased him, and he gave into peer pressure. He's asked someone else that his friends approve of. Don't blame his friends either though. It's all very confusing at your age. Sometimes all it takes is one boy to say a negative thing and they all jump on the same wagon. Try not to take it personally, remember at your age you are still more mature than the boys. Next time you see him pretend like everythings cool and don't even mention the dance. If you see him after the dance, be normal like you were before you asked him to the dance. If he continues to distance himself from you, just treat him like you would any other boy. He's not a man yet, you really can't expect him to be.

It seems like he is just embarresed because alot of people found out you asked him/ like him. Girls mature faster than boys, so just give it some time and maybe things will work out between you two, or you might find someone who is better than him. Good Luck darling =)
