I'm sorry if I was confusing, but I have never gossiped about Katherine. I know I said they pressure me into gossiping about the other group, but what I really meant was that I listen to them gossiping. I almost never participate. I chose the wrong words, PDM. I am very sorry for the confusion.
Katherine's friends say that you should go out with her. Chances are, if they are her true friends, that they are reflecting her thoughts.
Yes, definitly. I have actually overheard her saying "I wish he would just ask me out already and get it over with." So they are reflecting her thoughts - you are right.
Kelsey thinks, therefore, that she has a chance with you ~ and Katherine probably thinks that Kelsey does, too.
Kelsey thinks that you can't be that keen on Katherine, because you don't want to go out with Katherine, and you are friends with her, and you gossip about Katherine with her.
Hmm, I never thought of that. Thanks for pointing that out.
Except I don't ever gossip about Katherine - and very rarely do I gossip about anyone else.
Maybe you are too young to be 'going out' anyway, but, the way I see it, your behaviour may be making poor Katherine look a bit of a fool. Is that what you want? No wonder she's upset.
I know what you mean...people make such a big deal about "going out" in middle school...Erm, what beavior is making her look like a fool? Me not asking her out? Oh,do you mean that it makes her seem like she is "desperate"? No, I definitly do not want that.
It may be possible to be friends with both s but, if Katherine is your friend, you must not respond to flirting from someone else. And you must not gossip about her with that someone else. It's rude and unfair.
Definitly. I was only friends with Katherine in 6th grade, but then when I figured ot that she liked me, I started to like her too...
Definitly. The thing is that I am oblivious when Kelsey is flirting with me - since she is my friend, I don't usually find it "flirting" until someone points it out to me...
Thanks for the help PDM.
