Ask a Guy
 
 

How do we become more than friends?

Q: I am 14 years old. I liked this guy for a while and decided to take a chance and ask him out and so i did, he said maybe so i told him to take his time. He hasn't answered me yet but it was like two days ago. i don't want to seem desparate to him. Wut should i do or think. And how can we keep r convos longer? We are close i have already slept over at his house twice. so ya i need some advice!!!!

A: Tough call. Since you’re already close friends, it could be that he doesn’t know how to navigate this situation without affecting your friendship. Some guys will never bring these things up again if you don’t force the issue, so if you need an answer, you probably have to corner him on it and see what’s up. It could be that he likes the friendship the way it is. Good luck! - Chauncy

A: You’re already sounding desperate. If he was into you, he wouldn’t keep you waiting; he wouldn’t be able to think of anything but you. In my opinion, you’re probably a prospective booty call for him, knowing that he hasn’t needed to commit for you to stay at his place. Lots of fish in the sea, this one has disaster written all over it. - Richard

A: I’m a tad confused. First you (twice) spent the night at his place. Then you asked him out, with your invitations going unanswered. Do I have this right? Well, if you slept with the guy when you spent the night at his place, you might be waiting a really long time for him to get back to you. If you kept your clothes intact (which, incidentally, as a 14-year-old, you should’ve done) then you’re still in the running for the young man’s heart. So as not to seem desperate, think of an upcoming event you could ask him to. A house party, a dance… whatever. Don’t ask him, for instance, to go to the movies, as that can only be construed as a date. But simply accompanying each other to something you both would be attending anyway is a great way to get some alone time with him without beating him over the head with date invitations. - Sergio

A: I would be patient and let the situation develop naturally. Fourteen-year-old dudes can be much less mature than girls, so there is a chance that he’s feeling shy and nervous about getting involved with you romantically. If you have a good friendship with him, I would enjoy that and see what develops from there. - Josh

Comments:

Okay....so you are 14 and you've slept over twice at his house?! I'm really hoping it was in a very innocent, platonic way, or else I'm kind of upset for you. Kids grow up to fast! When I was 14 (about 10 years ago) there was no way in hell my parents would have let me spend the night at a boys house!

But I think that he is either really immature/freaked out by you asking him out and not sure what he wants....or he just wants to stay friends with you.

I have to say, when your 14 this seems like a very big deal but you will come to realize that it's not. In a couple of years you will look back on this and it will not mean much.

And I also have to say the best response by far was Sergio's. I actually laughed at little and smile when I read it, good points of advice!

You should act like you didn't even ask him out! He should be like oh my god why isn't she talking to me then he would probebly ask you out or try to get alittle closer to you so he would want you to ask him out again but don't wait for him to ask you out or just date someone else and he will get jelious!

Good for you, its really difficult to ask out guys at that age. When i was 14(5 years ago) and i asked a boy out and i have not gotten a reply yet, act like you normaly would, that way he can see that your not obsessed and you are still want to be friends. If he doesnt tell you in a week, NEXT. Your 14, boys will come and go. Act like it never happened and continue your friendship. Chances are when you act like you dont like him or you have moved on he will see he really likes you. You'll end up winning in the end

well i m sorry to say but i dont think he's interested. he probably thinks ur a great friend but when u asked him out he probably felt very akward and id not wantto ruin ur friend ship by saying no.

hi, im thirteen years old and having the same issue. IF i were you i would give up on him, a fourteen year old doesnt need that much time to answer a girl. i agree with the othter posts. if u and him have gotten further then kids your age im sorry to say hon that it wont be happening. Im geussing all he wanted was your body. So dont feel too upset bout this. move on and some day you will look back and relize that he wasnt the one for you.

okay, well im also 14, and i do have a boyfriend. but the story is kinda weird, in grade 7 we were the best of friends, but once grade 8 started we never talked.. and im in grade 8 right now.. and since septmember when the school year started we havent talked, and now its january. he's knows i like him and he likes me too, i just asked him last week, and he said yes.. but the thing is, is that i NEVER thought he liked me.. so just give him some time.. just like i did to my new boyfriend.. :)
hope everything works out for you :)

First i would like to say that .. YOUR ONLY 14! .. honestly dont rush into getting a bf yet you have lots of time. Throughout grades 7-10 the feelings of liking someone is only called puppy love. Trust me keep it simple. Because as all girls no most boys are simple minded not matter what age they are .. good luck :)

Hello? You slept at his house? He left you hanging? I dont meen to offend you but he has used you. The guy slept with you, he says maybe so as he wont bee involved anymore,i personaly do not think he is worth your heart cause fair enough im the same age as you but like if a guy done that to me id cry for ages and i dont think that guy is one who your tears should be wasted on :) and if he leaves you hanging its his loss not yours xoxo

Don't do anything as a game. Do not let it drop to "get his attention". You may be disappointed and it's maniP***tion. It's no better then the "if you loved me you would" game.

No one should assume you two have already been active together, choices should be presented.

If you have been active together, then the "maybe" is a decision between casual and exclusive. If you haven't he may have never considered a girlfriend before. The prospect may be a bit confusing, and you are his friend.

What is with all of you freaking children thinking those are actual relationships? You're 12/13/14. And if you slept with him.. woah. If I was any one of those ages and asked to sleep at a boy's house my father would have my head.

Honestly, he's not interested or afraid of losing a perfectly good friendship. Either way, you'll get over it. You're fourteen.

Someone should really clarify if you guys have "done the deed" already or not...(I'm just going to presume they were sleepovers, since you ARE 14). This is a weird topic for me, since I've always had the opinion that no one should be dating so young, and I'm only 18.....if you want my advice (not that I expect you to follow it), you would stay as friends. Even if he doesn't end up answering you, I think good friends are much better than boyfriends (although I've never had one before, so I couldn't possibly know). Anyway, my point is, crushes will come and go. Great for you that you have the courage to ask someone you like out so young, and hopefully, it will work out for you.

I'm a 30yr old guy not 14 anymore but been there done that have a son 11 and daughter 10. Ok with intro's out of the way I see a ton of people here are jumping to conclusions about a sexual encounter. You don't know all the details I'm sure. For Example: When I was a teenager there were girls staying over all the time. But I also had two younger sisters very close to my own age. So they had friends coming and going all the time. Now for the advice if i remember right their were a couple of my sisters friends that I got close with and it did turn into a few make outs sessions but never a relationship "Do to my own decisions" There was nothing wrong with the girls but at that age boys tend to make really stupid choices. Recently my sister and I where chatting an she told me that her and one of those friends caught up to each other and when that subject came up she said I broke her heart. today I regret some of those choices but remember it is not you just boys being young and dumb.

I am so sorry so many people are judging you based on your age. The feelings u have are very real ....just like they have been for ALL of us ....shame on the other posts for having no empathy...we have all been there at some point ...any and all age....the worst people need to do some research on the 'new' 14. Anyway minutes are ticking like hours for u and may be for him...u don't and maybe never will. They were for me over the last few days and I am 40. I have an 'interest' but once he knew i was interested i needed to step back and let him make the next move. It worked he told me his business keeps him very busy and he wouldn't be able to talk much or see me at all til after Monday but he called Fri night ...but i was out and didn't answer and then he was on the phone first thing this morning Sat wondering if i got his message?..got him!!!..try to keep busy....look as good as possible if u may see him (i don't mean over the top....most guys don't 'get' glitter) just clean sweet and hot as in 14 hot not trashy (guys like trashy girls but never as girlfriends)....and wait...goes back to caveman days ....he now has to feel he is doing the chasing ...just be normal (as possible) and wait...it's hard but worth it!!! sets the tone for the potential relationship...u have power cuz u asked first now he needs to feel like he's 'the man' hope this makes sense ...flirt a bit your eyes but say no more! he will eventually wonder what you are thinking if he doesn't know....from u or your friends ....careful they don't tell him anything. better they say she hasn't said anything to me....hang in there!

first of all, 14 is too young to be romantic,seriously,where are the parents of these teens?and why is they not give them "the talk"?when subject like this come up? i don't agree with none of these comments AND i see on these comments NOBODY once commented on where's the parents and u wonder why teens have babies at a young age because parents don't take the time to talk to teens about sex and the situation of having sex.

ill be 14 in a couple of months...for one my parents would never say yes to that...for two this dude already got him a piece so thats all he wanted...im sure he was"frinds" with other girls too and now i bet they dont even talk....thats all 14 year old guys want...dont let them fool you into thinking that they actually like you or love you cuz none of its true..its either a booty call or a image thing so dont give in to it...if you want my advice go for a guy that is atleast a year older but no more than 3 and they are more mature and arent just looking for a booty call
