Gymnast asked:
Is it normal for me to want to go go-karting or bowling with a boy but not make it a date? Because my friends are all like “OOOOOOH your gonna ask David on a daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!” and make me cry. Its so hard to like this boy as a friend and want to go places with him. The kids in my school are buttwipes and they just cant let me want to go places with a guy.

just make sure david knows it not a date it better if u plan like the bowling with like a group of friends and invite him last like
” you could come too”
and then the people would just perceive it as a party

Man, if a girl i kno invited me to go do something cool like that, i’d definantly go. I never get to go do cool stuff like that with girls. He’s lucky. Tell your “friends” to buzz off. Which is more important to you; them accepting you, or liking him? It doesn’t have to be a date; Go-karts are a blast. You’ll hav fun.

Well honestly you are being affected by what I am sure you know of “pure pressure” Now by going “go carting” you will have to make it clear to him and everyone else that it is just go carting. You will or might get laughed at but honestly you just are going to have to ignore them.

Ignore them, if they’re going to mock you don’t listen go go-karting. It’ll be fun, don’t crash and do’t get in trouble with the law. If they aren’t going to let you go places with guys tell them to suck it.

are you serious? omg. how old are you, 10? do you know how many girls have boys as friends or best friends? a lot. I for one have a boy best friend, why would you not be able to go? how are you guys best friends if you dont hang out or if your not sure if its okay for 2 FRIENDS to hang out?

Don’t worry about them. Just do waht you want with him, because unless you ACTUALLY ask him out, then their words mean nothing. And if he thinks that your asking him out, then don’t worry about that either. He’ll probobly go anyway, just don’t make a move. Unless you actually like him. Then do whatever you want to show him you like him…
I know how you feel. My best friend at school is a guy, and everyone thinks I like him, but I don’t. It gets annoying when I give him a birthday present and eveyone says, “Aww! Thats so sweet!” But oh well. Who cares about those but whipes anyways?

yea its alright..
don’t let your friends stop you from having a fun time!!
and maybe they are jealous or something.

Just ignore them. Tell them you’re just friends and you’re not like that. If they wanna go assuming things then they can. It’s their fault for being morons… As long as YOU know you like him as a friend, that’s all that matters. You don’t need anyone telling you who you can and can’t hang out with. It’s your decision, not theirs.

lol unfortunatly people are annoying like that. Everyone in my school thinks im dating my best guy friend because im always hanging out with him one on one. But we’re not a couple, we are best friends who hang out with different people so whenever we’re together (which is often) its one on one. It used to bug me that people assumd we were dating but now i dont care anymore. SO anyways my point is don’t let it get to you. I know it’s tough but if u have fun with him as a friend it shouldnt matter what anyone else says. Just do what makes u happy and don’t worry about it. SOmeday i swear you’ll look back on this and laugh at how insignificant the opinions of your peers are.
