How to ask a girl out. (Very complicated situation)

[Capt Nickson]

I need some advice. I like this girl we are both 13 and in the same classes. Her older brother is my older brother's best friend and I am her first cousin's best friend. I started to like her in fourth grade and in fifth grade she found out I liked her. I started playing with her at recess then and a lot of people asked her out for me even though I didn't ask them to. She would say no she couldn't because her parents wouldn't let her date and she was very loyal to them. At the end of sixth grade we didn't play as much. Now we are in eighth grade and we became close again. I want to ask her out myself (for the first time). I never dated and so I don't know how I would handle reject. Also how would I stay a close friend if she would say no? I also know she likes someone but she only hinted to me that she did but would not say who. Advise?

i've been rejected and accepted. can't remember acception as it was 3 years ago, however rejection is sad. our friendship broke but we became friends again after 2 school trips (one for a day and one for a week). look, my advice is to stay as friends, you don't want to risk your friendship. plus, when your 13, relationships don't matter. i learnt that when me and my ex slowly went back to not dating and just being friends.

You're young and you have plenty of time to have a relationship, while I'm not saying don't date I'm saying that it's not the end of the world if you are rejected. It's a part of life and I know you don't want to be rejected but at some point in life you will be rejected. If you don't want to lose the friendship you could always tell her, 'hey there's something I need to tell you and it's okay if you don't feel the same, but I would like to remain friends after if you wouldn't mind'. You never get anywhere if you don't go for it.

if she rejects,just brush it off. I know it might hurt, but you're young and they'll be PLENTY of girls. Just tell yourself that, and it'll lessen the pain

I think you should just ask her if it's something you really have on your mind. The worst thing is she can say no and that really isn't all that bad anyway. If she says no, at least you won't be wondering about it anymore. Plus, there are plenty girls and you'll most likely get over it quicker than you think. As far as being friends afterwards, that's really up to you. If her friendship means that much to you, you shouldn't let her not wanting to date change anything. Of course, she may very well say yes but you'll never know unless you ask.

How to ask her out? Go up to her and say "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go to _______" or something along those lines, if she accepts great if she doesn't its fine, she usually replies "we better be just friends" for a reason, cause she wants to be friends. If she does reject you to not make it awkward just absolutely forget that it ever happened, and FYI, if she says no it means no.
