I feel terrible...

I encouraged my oldest son (who is 15) to tell the girl he likes that he likes her... well, he asked her out and she just replied with "I can't". They get along get, talk all the time. She is not dating anyone and was dating someone before. I feel bad for pushing him to tell her and he is crushed because she won't tell him the reason. I feel horrible.....any suggestions on how to help him through it?

My son is 17 Traci, but I have no advice here. That age totally sucks with all the emotions, hormones and peers. I wish my son was a little more outgoing, he doesn't date. Had one girlfriend, but she used him good. I always encourage him to ask a girl out, but never a certain girl. Ya just never know what they are going to answer with. Teens!!!

Ouch Traci, it's a tough age!
Tell your son "it's her loss" and theres LOTS of other girls waiting inline for him to ask them out.
On second thought, please tell him to ENJOY his young life, and theres plenty of time still for him to date girls!
My son dated a girl for 9 months, it was a total nightmare, she had some baggage with her while she is a year younger then him, and he was so not ready for all that.
I now encourage him to stay single, stay young, and ENJOY life with his friends.

I agree with Mandy 15 is a hard age and to keep telling him its her loss.. He will be fine, make him understand that this is part of life.. The rest have given you good advice. I know it hurts us more when our children hurt... This will not be the first time.... he is a little to young to be dating he has his plenty of time ahead for that. Tell him he should just be friends with girls nothing more...

Food is always a good comforter

If only they would just want to be friends with the girls! 15 year old boys (and girls) are walking hormones!
