Q - Dear Annabelle, There is this girl I like. I don't know how to ask her out. How should I ask her out????? A - Dear Travis, You ask her to join you at one of the youth group meetings that you attend. At 13, single dating isnāt appropriate, but dating through your church or synagogue is all right. Youāre developing social skills now, and learning to interact on a civil basis with girls, who just a couple of years ago were still āthe enemyā, is a god thing. The pressures on many young people for activities, i.e., physical contact and stuff, is so great that you need to respect you own development as well as hers..thatās why no Īsingle datingā. Iām attaching the H.E.L.P. formula for you to learn...itās good and will get you through many years of good times. Remember to meet her parents and to dress nicely. Bringing her mom a flower from your momās garden would be a good idea too. Have fun! - Annabelle
