Annie Fox for Teens... Hey, Terra!

Annie (AKA Hey Terra!) has been around long enough to have experienced a lot of what Life can dish out. But, it hasn’t been so long that she's forgotten what it's like to be your age. Check out some of the thousands of email questions teens from around the world have sent to Terra. You may learn something useful from her answers:

Wish I had one:
“What if my future girlfriend gets asked out by some other guy?”

Hey Terra,

I don't have a girlfriend, but when I do, and a guy asks her out, what should I do? Should I talk to the guy about it? If I do, what do I tell him?

Worried

Dear Worried,

When you have a gf then you and she can decide whether you two are going to go out with other people. If you two decide that you are only going to go out with each other and then some other guy asks her out, it's up to HER to tell him "Sorry, but I already have a boyfriend." If this situation comes up, you don't have to do anything... It's up to her to be honest with other guys and tell them she's not available.

Does that answer the question for you?

In friendship,

Terra
