About David
Expertise
I'm a guy and I have been through it all. I specialize in dating friends and dating with somebody with overprotective parents, mainly because of the experiences I have had with both. I can pretty much help you through anything because it is similar to what I am experiencing now.

Experience
My experience is mainly through trial and error. I have also taken a mediation class, at school, and we learned how to talk to people and guide them through tough situations.

Organizations
I am really involved in the AIDS program at my school, we go around to other schools and teach the kids about how to prevent themselves from contracting HIV/AIDS. It is a really rewarding program.

Publications
I write for my school newspaper, edited the middle school one for a year and the yearbook too.

Education/Credentials
I'm in High School and have gone through a few different leadership and mediation type classes.

Question
Ok so I have this problem with guys. See everytime I have a guy friend he always ends up liking me(and I do mean EVERY guy friend) and asking me out when all I see him as is a friend. So each time I nicely say no but its like they never get it because they still try to get me to go out with them. It sucks because I mean they are my friends and I don't want to lose them but I get so uncomfortable around them which makes me feel like an awful person. I don't know if its something I do that gives them the impression that I'm interested or not if I do I don't mean to. But it gets worse! Whenever there is a guy I'm really interested in Ill start out as a friend and he will be interested and all but somehow the conversations always turn to sex or something sexual which is fine I guess I mean I'm all for flirting but I don't want to have sex or send sexy pics exec...and then they just lose interest which confuses me because before the sex talk they were all interested in talking with me and hanging with me. I mean is just because they know there wont be sex?

Answer
Nicole,
Guys, who start as your friends, probably start to like you because you are such a great person (that is just a guess).  It isn't a bad thing that you tell them "no", it is completely fine.  Yes, it does suck for them, but they put themselves out there and, that time, got a little hurt.

It is not uncommon for conversations to turn to sex.  I am guessing that you are a teenage and, coming for another, we all think about it.  It makes sense that they would back off because there won't be any sex, but would you want to be with somebody who was only with you for the sex?  Personally, I'd rather be with somebody who didn't care.  Yes, sex may be great, but should it be the only thing?

If you need any other help I would be happy to assist.

Best,
David
