But, in class, one of his friends came up to me and told me that the guy (let us call him X) thinks I'm pretty, and that I have nice legs, and asked me for his number. The only thing is, is that I'm not sure if X asked him to, or if he did it for some other reason. When one of my friends asked X about it just a few minutes later, he knew about it and said that he was really embarrassed (and apparently turned red, but I don't know about the reliability of that), but said that if he wanted my number then he'd ask himself, and basically implied that his friend said that stuff of his own volition. What on earth is going on; is X lying, or is his friend? Or is his friend speaking the truth, but had not been asked to say it? Help! Reply to this Question

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (21 February 2006): Hun, I wouldn't try to figure this one out. At this age, boys do silly things and they tease each other. Teen boys generally aren't the greatest communicators with girls, especially when dealing with feelings. It's quite likely that X does like you and has obviously told his buddies. And when your friend approached him with questions about his feelings, X felt embarrassed because this often is the way. Some teen boys don't know how to react to that straightforward approach. They tend to dance around and back away. Just ignore all this and concentrate on your own friends, working hard at your studies and having fun. It's best to be nice to X, but as a friend for now. Don't pursue him-let the cards fall where they will. If you're the one he wants to date, he'll let you know. Good luck, Dear

Some Agony Aunts here will sugar coat their comments to you, but I'm not one of them. I'm not trying to scold you, but the resolution to this 'problem' is too blatant. If you're confused, go ask those two boys. That'll solve it. If not, go read some books or something...
