There's a girl who I really like. I've asked her out before but she's said no. She's afraid of her parents, who say she can't date until she's a senior. (She's a freshman now.) Please help?

You could try asking her parents for their approval, it'll show you are man enough to take the responsibility because you really like their daughter. But you'll need to be super respectful and probably be a good idea to go with some answers cause you know they're going to grill you.  But if they say no, you should take it well.

tell her you need to talk to him after school,in school,where ever, just tell her to meet alone, then tell her that you want to get to know her, and ask for her number, after a while, if you get a hint that she migth like you then ask her out, to the movies or something like that. don't seem to desperate,or too cocky, and have something to talk about when you ask her out. \n\nhope ever thing gose well

wow hun you have sooooo many years ahead of you to worry about that. I know you like her and you just wanna be with her.. but chances are it wouldnt work out anyway.. not because you arent a great guy.. but because relationships that young really never work out. you will find someone much better further along in your years. for right now concentrate on school and your friends. there will be plenty of time for dating later :)

i was really nervous around guys until i realized that they weren't jst these big intimidating things, that they could be thinking the same thing i was! if u see her in the hall, say what's up, or something and she'll think ur friendly and be more comfortable around you. make sure u get 2 know her before u become committed. patching things up w/ her sis can't hurt either. and if she turns u down, move on! i know u've probably heard that a ton, but if u get over it quickly, other girls will appreciate your independence, and who knows, it might even help u get the girl!

i wouldn't ask her out yet.Get to know her and then Definitely ask her out. If you guys hang out and start going out,If you have something special,Those upper class men wont have any affect.But if they do just remember"Its better to have loved and lost to have not loved at all."

if she is a nice person, down to earth and really cares about others feelings then don't be afraid to ask her out. besides as you said you already talk to her from time to time so give it a go, the worst that can happen is she will deny you a date. and don't forget, it's not where you live or how much money you have that makes a likeable person, it's who they are on the inside. good luck

Well the first thing you have to do is stop being afraid!  A date will never happen until you get the nerve up to talk to her and ask her out.  Even then she may reject you due to peer pressure since her friends don't like you but if she does then she isn't worth pursuing anyway.  Good luck!

umm...this girl is not your friend. a friend is someone you can feel comfortable being around..someone you can trust. and obviously, this girl can't handle the fact that you like her. i think it was immature of her to say yes when you asked her out just because she "felt sorry for you," but to each their own. i don't think you need this girl as a friend or anything else.

Well put yourself in her shoes and really think about this.  First she is turned down by a guy she really likes.  Next, she "knows" you like her but you won't even have the decency to ask her out, and has to "find out through other people", instead of you going to her face and letting her know you like her yourself?  How would you feel if you were her?  Whatever you do don't go over to her and say anything about short people.  You have already insulted her enough by not asking her out and having to hear it from other people instead of you.  She's been insulted enough considering all this.  She's probably annoyed with the male gender right now and I don't blame her.  What else does she have to do to get you to ask her out.  She's already tried to make you jealous and you still haven't asked her out.  Does she have to stand on her head next to get you to ask her.

Wow. A question that actuially fits my situation. Ok, im going to tell you what happened then im going to tell you what you should do. I really liked this girl. I've known her for four years and liked her for two of them. She liked me, then she didn't, she liked me then  she didn't, etc. She basicially led me on some times. I tried to ask her out and she said somthing like "I like you too, just not like you like me, bla bla bla no". It sucked. I was crushed. I tried to forget about her twice and it just ended up me looking like an ass and getting farther away from my goal. I would do anything for this girl, if she was sad id do whatever i could to cheer her up. if she was mad id listen and talk to her about it. if she was feeling down i told her exactly how i felt about her. Then she went out with this guy. Of course I was pissed off. I got in so many verbal fights with him because, by that time, the whole school knew I liked her by the way word gets around. I really don't know why nothing happened, everything was there, she thought I was hot I thought she was beautiful, We got along really well, liked the same music, everything fit. I'd give anything for a second chance at that first time I asked her out. Nothing will happen. I now know that. as much as i dont want to accept that, its true. and i need to.\n\nBut anyways, my story doesn't help you, but it gives you a realization of what can happen.\n\nYou have two options.\n1. Tell him you don't like him like that and expect him to be sad.\n2. If theres any attraction on your part, you can go out with him, if it works out great if it doesn't, oh well. because i bet hed do anything for that one chance.\n\nthe choice is up to you though. of course im going to lean towards the second option but the right choice is probably the first one. good luck.

well there can be two thing. 1) she doesnt like you anymore or 2) shes to scared to make the first move so she is trying to make you jealous so youll ask her out and if you really like her dont push her aside ask her out give it a shot. =)

Know what you mean here.  I was in the same boat a little over a year ago.  I'd been friends with this girl for a while and I developed a crush on her.  I was too afraid to ask her out too.  Eventually, a mutual friend told her how I felt and she felt the same way.  Things worked out pretty well.  We've been dating for 51/2 months or so.  My advice is go for it.  If she is a true friend then she should respect your feelings even if she doesn't feel the same way.  Ask her she wants to take things to the next level. You have to be carefully.  If she says no, then you can't go treating her any differently even if you are hurt by it a little.  She shouldn't change because you show interest in her so neither should you.

Hi Mr. Beaner,\n\nWhy don't you ask her out to a movie? Or if your parents permit friends to come over you can ask her and a couple of other friends to come over and watch a movie and eat pizza.\n\nJust make sure there are equal girls to boys. If your parents ask why you want to have a small get together, tell them you are trying to strengthen some friendships outside the school environment. Just make sure you do not invite too many kids because parents have to pay for this stuff. And as your parent's have probably told you "money does not grow on trees" \n\nIf your mom objects to cost- ask her if she can purchase a couple of frozen pizzas.\n\nIf your mom objects to inconvenience- ask her if you can just drop you and lady love off to the movies then\n\nIf your mom objects to seeing a girl at your age- tell her she is just a friend who is in your band class

You're getting together with her to study, which is fine, because that isn't really a date.  On the other hand, if you ask her to go to a school dance with you, or maybe a movie, oh no, she can't go out with you, because she's seeing somebody.\n\nIf you wait until she isn't seeing anybody, chances are, someone else is waiting for that too, and they'll beat you to the punch.\n\nYou've already got your foot in the door.  You just need to open it a little wider.  Maybe there's something you can do together, besides studying, that she would consider innocent enough.  I can't say what that would be.  That just depends on your interests.\n\nHere's an idea.  Approach her in the hallway, hand her a rose, and ask, "Would you mind holding this for me?"  As soon as she takes it, just walk away.\n\nAny of this stuff can work, but there is no guarantee.  It is possible that she just isn't interested in you, and never will be, but I think some of these ideas can work, if anything will.

I'm in the same situation. This girl I know practically told\nme she wants to date me, but I quickly flipped her words \naround and turned it into a joke...I must have commitment \nissues, my longest relationship has been for like 2weeks \nI'm just 20 but still. \n\nIf a girls likes me and I like her but I keep pushing her(and others) away am I scared or something? \n\nMy dad cheated on my mom and it was hard for her when they divorced. I always told myself(even though we talk) I\nwill never be like him/that....I guess running away will \nmake sure of that.?. \n\nSorry for answering your question w/ my own commitment issues. Maybe we need to suck it up I don't know....
