I am very shy and am going into sixth grade in three days I hope I meet a girl I like if so how do I ask her out?

Oh and do not say I am too young to date because I have permission to date from my parents

[Wondergirl]

What does "date" mean?

[gamemeister]

OK I should have said go out instead of date

[N0help4u]

Walking her to her next class, inviting her over for your moms home cooked meal and playing video games, hanging out with friends, being driven to a matinée?

[gamemeister]

That might help

[Wondergirl]

Of course, SHE has to have permission from HER parents too.

[gamemeister]

Yes I know that and if she does not there are plenty of fish in the sea

[ScottGem]

What does "go out" mean? And yes you are too young. Your parents are being very foolish in giving you permission. And you attitude (plenty of fish in the sea) shows that you are too immature for romantic relationships.

[gamemeister]

First of all I am not too immature and second I only said plenty of fish in the sea because if her parents say no she cannot date what am I supposed to say. Oh well she is going to date me anyway??

[N0help4u]

No, if she means enough to you you wait until she is old enough

[gamemeister]

Well true but generally even if someone dates when they are young (as in 12 - 15) they do not end up marrying the person they go out with

Could someone please give me an answer?

[N0help4u]

But it could be a bonus if she knows you waited for her.

[ScottGem]

So you are what, 11, 12? Sure YOU think you are mature. But you aren't. Clearly from your responses here.

And you didn't answer what "ask out" means.

The media has glorified romantic relationships and made puppy love seem cute. But its not in reality. You need to stop trying to grow up too fast.

When you get to school, join clubs, meet people get to know them as friends. The rest will come as you get older.

[gamemeister]

Both questions have been merged together.

I like a girl in my school but am to shy to even talk to her how do I do it?


Oh and do not say I am not old enough to go out with her because I am and my parents do not mind if hers do I will wait till she is old enough then ask her out

You know what I probably should have just asked some friends in school I would not have gotten all this oh your too young b******t

I am not going to read any more of that so if you have an answer please post it but if you have an opinion do not but I cannot stop you but I will not read anymore opinions I just want an actual answer to my question

Oh and I am 13 almost 14 by the way

[talaniman]

You will never get a date, go out, or have a girlfriend unless you overcome your shyness and learn to talk to her. About ANYTHING! Practice makes perfect.

[N0help4u]

Did you ever answer the questions they asked? I think at your age its Okay to have a friend that is a girl. Play video games with and things like that. Like the movie My Girl her best friend was a Boy. But getting into the huggy kissy stuff no, let it grow into that when you get older.

[gamemeister]

Yeah I agree but a lot of people online are saying basically the same thing as you except they are also saying only hang out in school as friends

[ScottGem]

I have permission from my parents and anyone who thinks I am too immature should look at my classmates in school I am more mature than ninety percent of them

Ok so you are more mature than your classmates. Why do you think that makes you mature enough to date? That just shows more of your immaturity that you think being more mature than others in your age bracket makes you mature enough to do adult things.

yeah I agree but alot of people online are saying basically the same thing as you except they are also saying only hang out in school as friends

Ever wonder WHY most of the people are saying the same thing? Could it be because we have gone through what you are going through now and we know what it really involves?

Did you come here to get some experienced opinions instead of just asking "some friends in school". No you probably wouldn't get the too young responses, but then you wouldn't get good advice, it would just be the blind leading the blind.

When I was your age, I was "madly in love" with a girl in school... and I wished so much that I could "date" her... I look back at that now and I wonder what would I really have done if I did "date" her? Was I going to take her to the movies? Out to dinner? On vacation?

I look back and still think of her fondly but I also realize that dating her would have been stupid and worthless. I had no source of income. I had no car or way to get anywhere... so dating would have been what? Nothing. I would have talked to her in school... which, guess what? I was already doing.

[talaniman]

We called it going together back in my day, and it made you feel special and grown up when you had an official girlfriend. Not so unusual that kids imitate older people, as hormones start kicking in, and it's not so unusual when they can't articulate what they mean.

But we get what they mean because we have been through it.
