Hey Josh, My Crush Won’t Give Me An Answer
Promlem #1 from Brogan:
“I already bought my dress and I have a hair appointment, but here’s the problem: there’s this guy, Kevin who I’ve had a HUGE crush on for 2 years. He’s in my cooking class and I’ve been trying to ask him to prom. He’s extremely shy but ever since this class started we’ve been talking a lot. Well, I asked him to prom and he said he’d think about it. So what does that mean? It’s been a week and he hasn’t given me an answer AND he hardly talks to me now. What should I do??”

Yo Brogan,
“I’ll think about it” means one of two things.
Thing One: No. But I’m too shy to tell you. Or I’m afraid you’ll hit me/slap me/sob hysterically/scream at me in class/prison shank me.
Thing Two: I have zero social skills and actually wet myself when girls talk to me. Thus, I need to get home, freshen up, and get back to you with a yes and a dry outfit.
My advice: follow up and say, “Hey, have you thought about it? Whadda ya say? Wanna go to prom?” If he stalls, move on and find someone socially awesome.
In your face, but so not DJ-ing your prom,
// josh

I’d say you should give him some time. If you have, confront him. But don’t be all “Hey! I want to talk to you! WHY HAVEN’T YOU ANSWERED ME??????” about it.
Trust me, when the girls get like that, we guys freak out and go “Um…. yeah…. CYA!” and run like the Devil himself is chasing us.
Have some patience and if you really think he’s not going to answer, confront him and get an answer. That way, you can save yourself waiting for an answer that will ultimately end up to be “No.” and can cut down the time that will leave the answer being “Yeah!!!!!”
And it will give you time to look for another date!
I know how you feel, I’m actually going through a similar situation with a boy I really like, too. what I’ve done is stepped away from the situation. you’ve done all you can do. it’s time for kevin to be a big boy and step up to the plate.
