My 12 Year Old Daughter Likes This Boy But Doesn't Know How To Get Him Or If He's Taken. What Should She Do?

Come on she is twelve. That is what is wrong with this. I mean I dont see why you as a mother would allow this. I mean if she still likes this guy in a year then help her.

I'm not sure that you are doing the right thing by encouraging a twelve year old to go after boys apart from as just friends.
Twelve is so young to be thinking about serious relationships. You could encourage your daughter to ask the boy to your home and then you can keep an eye on things.
They have a lot to cope with at school and pressures from friends to conform. I wouldn't really encourage anything but friendships at this age and it all depends how old the boy is.
Children do grow up quickly but it's nice to keep childhood special for a little while as grown up life's so complicated!
Encourage a few friends to come round and then they can enjoy themselves.

I had to do this for my daughter last year, I knew she liked this boy and said to one of her friends about seeing the boy with his girlfriend. It turned out it was a cousin, he was free and they started talking and ended up going out, try it see how u get on

Well she'll never know if he's taken if she doesn't act on it, right? If she's a shy person, then maybe she has a friend who will ask if he's taken or not. Or maybe she can start up a conversation with him just to break the ice, then later on in the conversation, ask...So, are you single or are you seeing anyone....She can ask him that without him knowing that she likes him just yet and if he says no, it'll make things a lot easier for her.

Stay out of your daughter's love life!! Like hello!!!
Did you like it when your mother tried to fix you up with guys?
I think since she is only 12, nothing too serious will be going on so just let her do what she's going to do for herself.

First of all you should not indulge her - tell her to concentrate on her studies because this is not the time for all these things and if you are indulging her then you are not doing your duty properly. You are being a bad mother......................................

Well I'm 11 years old and that is kind of happening to me too! Well first of all if they hang out with each other a lot and if they are friends, I think she should (this is what i did) ask him if he likes anyone. He might say like " do you like anyone"? back to her so just say I asked you first and you answer the question first and if he does answer it and it is not you, just say that you don't like anyone, or if you want to tell him you like him go right ahead!

Find out his likes and interests then you'll know the right approach to go get him.

I don't know, for me 12 years old is too young for serious relationship.
She should be having fun with all of her friends instead of worrying about that. She sould enjoy her teenage years because one day she's going to get married and she'll regret all those past years that she didn't enjoy with her friends.
I would try and talk to her about all this and explain that she has all the time in the world to be in a serious relationship.
I just think that to be in a serious relationship at 12, it's too much of a responsibility, they're not adults, they're teenagers.

I am sorry. I know that I would not want my girl doing that but my mom used to tell me, it is better to act like you do not like them and act really rude to them. That way they can be like mad and want to like that girl or want to go out sometimes.

First, if your daughter is shy. Then she must remove all those shyness in her. She has to be confidential.

Second, if your daughter isn't a friend with this guy, then she has to be.

Third, after being friends, they should try talking much as they could, they should spend time with each other more (even if being with other friends) and you shall sometimes call the guy over your house for a cup of coffee or tea.

Forth, your daughter should start being a bit personal (not too much) (remember to have eye-contact with the boy and smile always when ever talking with him) and ask him if he's going out with a girl or ask him if he likes any one. It would be good if his answer would be No. Your daughter might have some chance.

Finally, your daughter should invite him in a beautiful restaurant at night/evening. And there, she should try expressing her feelings about him.

Good Luck.
