writes:I split with my ex 2 month ago as he cheated on me. When I found out, he wasn't bothered that he broke my heart, laughed and moved on. I still have feelings for him but I also developed feelings towards my friend, who said he likes me. I said it wouldn't work as our friendship is like brother and sister friendship. Since then, my friend is trying to get me with a lad, I didnt/don't see him as a boyfriend, but he really likes me and my friend planned that me and her and him and his mate meet up next week to see what happens but I don't think I want anything to happen. What should I do?

 Say, "no, thank you for your care and concern. I'm not comfortable with this right now. Maybe we can revisit this in the future but right now, no. I will let you know when I want your help. Thank you."
You don't have to date if you're not ready to, don't let your friends run your life. It's pretty easy to go with the flow when you're a teenager, there's lots of pressure to do things you may not be ready for, and lots of pressure to conform to the ideas of peers with forceful personalities, but that doesn't mean you have to succumb to the pressure.
"No, I'm not interested"
"No, thank you"
"No, that doesn't interest me at this time"
"I'm not ready"
Practice saying "no" and mean it, it's okay to disappoint people if they are trying to run your life.
