Boys, Boys, BOYS!

[linkinpark-1]

There is this guy that I met on MySpace that lives about 15 miles from me, and we know a lot of the same people, we just haven't met yet. Anyways, I like him a lot, and I'm sort of confused if he likes me back, but he seems too. Well I don't really date, so I just sort of expected to wait until we met to start dating, but then I got a call this week end...My friend's ex and I are pretty good friends, he's a school grade younger then me, so I sort of see him as my little brother. On saturday i got a call from him asking if I want to go see Scary Movie 4 with him (I don't know about you but i was DYING to see that movie). I said yes, it sounded like a mutual friends thing to me when I agreed to it. When I tell my parents there all like "OooOOo...Jenessa is going on a date" and i'm like "It's not a date, just mutual friends". So yea his mom and him were going to pick me up at 6:30.

 

6:00: I'm in my tank top and jeans eating supper and he arrives. I was like freaking out I invited him in while I ran upstairs to go get ready and left him standing in the doorway with my dog barking at him.

 

6:05: I managed to get dressed within 5 minutes and got out to his car with BOTH of his parents! I was like Oh my God!

 

6:25: We arrive in town and decide to drive around since the movie didn't start until 7:15! So yea I was suck in the car with him and his parents for LONGER!

 

6:45: We finally got to the movie theater and he offered to pay, but i told him to go dutch, and he agreed (finally)

 

7:00: We got in the movie theater and had fun watching the movie, it was an AWESOME movie.

 

8:45: The movie ends and we have to wait 15 minutes for his parents to arrive. It was ok waiting, but he seemed pretty tense.

 

9:00: His parents arrive and decide to go to God Fathers Pizza. I was so full from supper and I don't like eating messy food in front of people so I drank water. We had to make small talk with his parents!

 

9:50: I'm in my last stretch to my house. Then his dad starts telling him that he should just ride with me when I get a car. I told him I'm not getting a car till I turn 18. Then his dad said "well then i guess we'll just have to hall you guys around forever"

 

9:51: After being truamatized by his dad I bolted from the car pretty fast, and he didn't take me to the door. I was pretty relieved.

 

When I entered my house my mom was laughing at me when i told her the story. My dad just shook his head and laughed to. I like the guy but no more then a friend. The night wasn't terrible, but it was pretty awkward to say the least.

 

I decide to tell my friend (his ex girlfriend) our art class. Our friend who was a junior listened in ( i didn't know she knew the guy). After I told her the story about my "date" she asked who I was talking about and when I told her she was like "I used to babysitt him!! He rides my bus! OMG I'm so going to mock him!!" My friend was sort of jealous, she just sort of laughed then said "I wonder why he didn't ask me." and she said "So all that time he was just trying to get to you?" She didn't seem mad just confused.

 

I was feeling pretty much home free until tonight. Guess who called? Yep. He called and asked if I wanted to go to another movie with him this weekend. I was just like "Shit" when I hung up the phone. I really like this other guy I was going to met from MySpace. I mean he's a nice kid and all, just not really my type.

 

I'm not a mean person. I don't like to turn people down or hurt their feelings. I'm sorry this was so long. I just could really use your guy's opinions! The more I can tell you the better advice you can give.

 

Thanks!

[misery]

My advice: date a guy with a car.

 

No, seriously. It's kind of lame dating someone when you guys have to get your parents to drive you around, lol. Stuff like that^ might happen

[stupidsoul1]

If you don't like this guy more then a friend, and your friend likes him.

Maybe you should let him go.

 

As for the guy from myspace, that sounds cool i guess.

[diana]

Well...

I think that you should just tell this guy that you like him but just as a friend...I mean, you shouldn't give him this false hope...cuz in my opinion he really don't know what is going on with you guys...of course he thinks that you like him in that way so you 2 could started dating when you are accepting his invitations to see movies...so, this should stop...or explain him that "friends" thing before you go to the cinema with him...

This is actually not so hard situation...All you need to do is follow your heart (what a word... )...Meet that guy from myspace and you'll see what's gonna happen with you 2...

Anyway, hope that helped at least for a little bit and that you'll work things out right so everyone will be happy...

Take care...

[stupidsoul1]

Yeah, you are right. I think he thinks you are dating now and that your first date went well even though you were a bit uncomfortable driving around with his parents.

[LPGirl]

like everyone else has said make it clear to him that you only like him as a friend.

maybe try and set him up with your other friend.

i hope that myspace guy works out for you. =)

[LP186]

i think its cute when parents have to drive their kids around when they're on dates, coz that used to be me but anyways...

 

yah, let him know where you are in this situation and how you feel about it

best way to do it is via myspace, that way theres no uncomfortableness between the two of you

 

im sure he'll be ok with it, guys tend to forget things quickly anyways

worst thing that could happen, he could start a very vicious rumor about ya

very unlikely though

[Black_Angel]

Aww, how awful!!

 

Anyway, I think you should just try and let him down gently, or keep making excuses until he gets the picture and leaves you alone. I'm the same, I just can't be mean to people!

 

As for MySpazz dude, hope it works out

[crazy robster]

Hello! I just have to tell you I've recently been through a very similar situation. The guy was a good person but certainly NOT my type! I couldn't turn him down because I didn't want to hurt him but he insisted and I started feeling he was smothering me!!! I had to tell him I was seeing someone else! It was the only way to stop him and make him understand I was not interested. The point here is:these guys don't get the message until you make it clear to them that you are not interested. Don't be rude, just honest. Tell him exactly how you feel. And move on with the myspace guy! You never know...Good luck :thumbsup:

[tuba]

sure tell him that u think of him as a friend.. sure go for my space guy

[KillMeImIrish]

tuba? TUBA? ahahahhaha. where have you been all this time?! we need you in the "rate the name of above" thread!

[Xblackwidow20X]

yeah go for the myspace guy. dont lead on your friend, and let him know that if you hang out again its cuz your just friends and thats all. make sure he knows that. some times its better waiting for someone better instead of seetling for the guy thats there now. trust me i know.

[ShinodaBear]

Here is my opinion::

 

I think you should give that guy a real chance. Yes i know you said you see him as a little brother and that the 'date' was okay. But it never hurts to give someone a chance. I think you should clear your mind completely of what you think of him and go out on a date with him as if you are just meeting him. to give him a chance and see if there is any potential. Even when you think it can never work, you'd be surprised. And if it doesn't work out right, then tell him how you feel. I'm not saying to make out with the kid, I just think he deserves a fair chance other than you already giving up before the date starts.

 

As for the myspace guy, it doesnt hurt to try to pursue him. There's a difference in dating and a relationship. I feel that you can date multiple people because first few dates are checking to see if you like the person and it is not cheating if you are just trying to explore other areas. And whne you truly feel you want a relationship, then you stop dating others.

[Shadowed Heart]

boys.are.confuzing. end of story.

[Stenners]

We could say the same about u The fact is when neither sex gets the other sex untill much practise is achieved, and even then its a bit of mystery =D

[KillMeImIrish]

i think us girls are more confusing then guys. but that's what makes dating and stuff exciting. you don't know what to expect next.

[Shadowed Heart]

i might agree, but guys tend to hind more things because they have a need to feel like the strongest on (emotionally, I might add) in a relationship.

[linkinpark-1]

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm still confused yesterday I had a conversation on AIM with his friend, who was obviously interigating me for him. Sort of juvenille.
