it doesnt sound as if you are that old. im not asking for your age, but saying that you should remind your friend that a boyfriend isnt everything. you can live without one and she shouldnt focus so much on getting one. 10 guys? it sounds like she just gets crushes on them and then has you ask them out. try talking to her and telling her that when she gets a crush on a guy she should get to know him first, hang out and call him a couple times at least. her chances of them saying yes are a little higher is she actually takes the time to get to know them.

yea its really immature to ask someone out for someone else [not your fault!] so idk how old you are but thats about as mature as texting someone to break up. 10 guys? poor girl. dont make anything up dont tell her what he said. tell her what is true but not his exact words if that makes sense.

ex:
DO NOT SAY THIS: "___ said he doesn't want to go out with you"

DO SAY: "i talked to ___; he is not interested right now"

thats not a lie; its completly true. just not a hurtful truth.

Well you need to tell her so she can move on with her life and quit dwelling on this one guy. But don't say he said it really meanly. In this case you might have to tell a little white lie. Tell her he said he doesn't want a girlfriend now or he already has a girl he likes, or soemthing like that. You want to say soemthing that won't hurt her feelings, but you also don't want to say something that gives her hope.

And as a side note, don't ask guys out for friends. That shows she doesn't have enough confidence to do it herself, which might be some of the reason they turned her down. If he had said yes then what? You would tel her he said yes and they are going out now, and how awkward would that be for them.

My advice: Ditch the elementary school tactics.

My friend has a crush on a guy in our 4th period. I asked him out for her and he said no(but meaner). I don't want to tell her because this will be the tenth guy that's turned her down. What should I do?
