Starting a rumor of your own love interest is not the answer tho, of that much I am certain. That would just make him look bad. Direct is difficult, but he just needs to open dialog, not plan a proposal.
Seconding this. 15 isn't the age for rash action, but relationship building. Actually telling someone you properly love them really can't happen until you're at least 20 or something, because you can't possibly know them well enough before then to make that conclusion.
Yea I really need to get over all of my problems, I am quite pathetic and I really just need to fix my psyche, as I broke it into a million pieces about 3 years ago, i'm not sure you any of you will understand
I'm... going to have to disagree with that last one. Considering I am very much in love with my current girlfriend, thank you.
That's the thing. Yes, he's young. Yes, he's got a lot of growing to do. However, there will be many women between this one and the one he eventually ends up with. Better to get practice at approaching them now than later so he's confidant and practiced later... and by that I mean, women /like/ confidence (not cockiness, that's something else all together). The worst she can say is no. And even then it's not the end of the world. In romance men and women are like buses. There's always another just around the corner if one doesn't work out.
You aren't pathetic. You're just young. Everything seems so much more crucial and life altering at your age.
Ehhh... I suppose there could be exceptions, as with almost everything else, but for the most part, I'd say 20 is the age you should wait until before you actually make a decision like that. Hormones have a way of clouding one's judgement - trust me, I was there. We all were.
Mine is a last resort method. If he simply cannot bring himself to successfully talk to her, he may not be able to. Many of us are capable of not being bothered by it, but to some they simply cannot do it no matter how hard they try. I have seen this method work. It may not be the most masculine option, but it has worked for a few people I know. But I do know of a different option, I was holding this back because it would only work for certain people. At a dance, ask her "so shouldn't you have asked me out yet?" Do this in a fun/sarcastic voice. If it backfires, just say you were kidding. Again, only works for some personalities for it to seem natural, and this worked for my father.
