What would you do if a 12 year old was hitting on you?

[TadBehaya]

As funny as it sounds, this kid is my family member's neighbor. I have only met him a couple of times and that too when her mother brought her to meet us. This time i happened to bump into him in a family environment and he tried to flirt and grab me. Lol. I was like 'ohh kid calm tf down lmao'

[Lil-Lilly]

I had it happen to me like every day earlier in this school year. He'd come up behind us and put his hands on our boobs. He wouldn't leave me alone, even after I gave him a kick to his boy parts. He only got scared of me after I told my boyfriend and he told a teacher that is friends with his dad. The teacher had a talk with him. He eventually got kicked out of class for doing it to other girls.

He complained that me and my friends do it to each other. I was like its way different if a boy does it.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I’ve had a few 13-14 year old boys hit on me 🤣

I just smiled, what would I do. 😂😂

And I pretended as if nothing happened :D

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Once one even asked me out,

He literally asked “What are you doing this evening? I want to take you out.”

He was just 13 and I was 23 😂😂

I appreciated his courage and bravery and smiled and told him “I would love to, but unfortunately I have a date with my boyfriend.”

[Daniela1982]

@LaFemmeFatale_1 Where was he going to take you, to the Marvel Comic Book Store to buy you a comic book? Or to play video games with him?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ I must have asked.

[OfMiceandMen]

The flirt-thing is natural but if he's handsy then he needs to be taught to keep his hands to himself.

You could either talk to his parents or if you can be gentle and make it a learning experience rather than a bad thing.

You have an opportunity to teach him its okay to find someone attractive, but he needs to be a respectful young man, then it will be something he remembers for the rest of his life.

If I was his father, I would appreciate it. What's the old saying, it takes a village...

[Friendlybro79]

@OfMiceandMen I like your intentions here but I do disagree that it's not her responsibility to tell a 12 yr old that is family members neighbor anything other than politely asking him to not touch and immediately share with the parents what happened in a non confrontational way.

I agree with your first paragraph but the parents need to teach him. If she was a closer friend to these parents and knew the kid well, then maybe she could explain it's not appropriate to be handsy.

[OfMiceandMen]

@Friendlybro79 For sure, she can decide which way she wants to go about it. I'm just saying if it were my son, I would be okay with her not making a mountain out of mole hill and teaching him a simple life lesson, as long as she's not mean about it. Sometimes life lessons from other people are best remembered/understood as kids that age and in their teens can be numb to what their parents say because they are inundated with teachings from their parents.

I had a few of those situations growing up in my neighborhood and I remember those as clear as the day my neighbors sat me down and told me what I was doing was wrong. Don't get me wrong, I remember a good majority of things my parents taught me, but they don't stick out as much as what my neighbors taught me. As a result, I often went over to say hi and help the older couple because I felt bad and it somewhat bonded us. They may very well have told my parents in the background, but I still remember the advice they gave me to this day because it came from them directly and I respected them for it.

Sure, talk to the parents if he continues to be disrespectful, but give him one chance to learn from someone that he will likely never forget it coming from. Sometimes those are the learning moments you remember most.

[Friendlybro79]

I appreciate everything you're saying especially because we ultimately agree with what the end result for this kid should be lol. For me, in today's world, and in my opinion, parents are crazier than when we grew up. I'm concerned that if you say something to someone else's kid like it's fine you're attracted to me, will cause a parent to blow their stack and somehow blame you for the kids actions lol

[Anonymous]

just ignore

[normalice]

Probably just pretend I don't know what she's talking about so she thinks I'm dumb and goes away. Don't want her to feel rejected or gross but also don't want to encourage it in any way.

But then the question is easier for men because girls that age could completely change their minds in a matter of hours. A 12 year old boy - or any age for that matter - hitting on the girl in your picture is likely to last until long after failure is assured. You can't "play dumb" here because boys are generally happy to educate people on their wants and needs. I would say just treat him like a child, since he is one anyway.

[VanillaBomb]

LOL girls are just as strong willed as boys, maybe even more in my opinion.

[Daniela1982]

Tell him to go wait in his backyard for me and I say I will go home and get into something more comfortable. Then leave him hanging in his backyard until the cows come home.

Little Twerp deserves it!

[SamIam96]

A 12 year old child is at the age where his hormones are more powerful than his brain. I remember doing all kinds of very stupid things when I was that age.

He needs to learn boundaries and acceptable behavior before he does something really bad. I'm guessing he knows it isn't ok to grab. If he does it again, threaten to tell his parents or something else that makes him understand that he's crossed a line.

[FunkyMonkee]

Does this kid often change gender?
I once had a 12 year old flirt with me. We met online in some chat room talking about The Beatles and, without any provocation from me, next thing I know, she's telling me that she's in love with me!! Oooookay!

[DaBiggestBird]

What in tarnation? I hope it was in a relatively innocent way like back in the 1990s and not some washed ass punk who is being taught to treat maidens with disrespect. It was kind of funny at first but then I remembered most kids in 2023 are little shits so I’m a bit concerned now.

[KittygosMeoWW]

lol I’ve had it happen and the game he was spitting was so funny. I told him it was sweet and I appreciated his compliments but it was making me feel uncomfortable and explained how he should not do that to adults and to also be a respectful man.

[Levin]

Maybe he was watching pick up artists on youtube or something and got inspired?

[KittygosMeoWW]

@Levin it was silly but not appropriate

[Sharkstealth]

Kids have always loved me. A small girls attention is hardly what your speaking of. It's funny sometimes when girls 8 to 15 or so will start to get overly friendly or dream state even with their fathers near. This has not occurred since I was past 35 though.

[Red_Arrow]

He is old enough to get turned on by a sexy gal, and you certainly are. But you definitely do not want him grabbing you. He could get in trouble and you could get in trouble. Steer him away from youi.

[Kaneki05]

Awkwardly flirt back before trying to get out there lol. Want to be nice but sure ain't letting go further.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

Tell him it takes more than a few sweet words to attract a MILF.👁👄👁

[TadBehaya]

ain't a milf yet

[BlissfullyCurSed]

by his standards, you're a MILF.

[VanillaBomb]

Creepy, you shouldn't be encouraging it

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb lolol, I just hope you didn't think I was being serious🤣🤣🤣

[BlissfullyCurSed]

Real life is no Pornhub, hun.

[VanillaBomb]

Still innapropriate considering his age

[VanillaBomb]

Hope you don't have sons @BlissfullyCurSed

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb are you trying to trigger me to attack you? I am askimg because It is not working.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

*asking

[VanillaBomb]

Not at all, but I think you are very toxic in my opinion

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb Stay away from me then, Vanilla C*nt

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb listen to me, I saw you talking shit behind me. I don't know what you're aiming at, but I am so tired of it. You didn't get my humour and thought I said something offensive, then kept on attacking me from time to time for no exact reason. Please, mind your own business and do not try to get involved in stuff about me.

[VanillaBomb]

You are commenting and putting me down on my question

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb I just told you my own opinion. I didn't say you were stupid or something. I just said I didn't get your mindset. Why did you get so bitter over this?

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb Should we all agree with you? You just found another user who happened to dislike me and tried to stir the pot like a real witch.

[VanillaBomb]

Yet you were sexist to me by telling me not to have daughters because of your own bias

[VanillaBomb]

You don't even know how boys are impacted by sex compared to girl. You say I am toxic but you are no better

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@VanillaBomb I just said I hope... Yeah, I wished that upon you, so what... I didn't try to cause any more controversy by adding other people into it.

[VanillaBomb]

I didn't add any people into it. I don't even care about your opinion because I think it's fine for old men to have sex with young boys and girls.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

What about that Cody boi?

[VanillaBomb]

He's very toxic. Both of you are on the same level

[BlissfullyCurSed]

[VanillaBomb]

[BlissfullyCurSed]

@TadBehaya

[BlissfullyCurSed]

*whiny

[VanillaBomb]

Hahaha, oh god. You seem offended, are you ok love?
Go get some wrinkly granny because you love them.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

youtube.com/shorts/jBMAAcDVeqo?feature=shared
From now on, that's my answer!

[VanillaBomb]

I love you are so funny. Making me laugh

[Paris13]

Talk To Him KIndly and Or... Steer Clear, dear... Those Raging Harmonies. lolxxoo

[patrick994]

If his attitudes became exaggerated, I would point it out to the family.

This is what I would do if a 12-year-old girl came on to me.

[Angelo75]

He is bold and courageous. Right now you have a kids emotions and probably his self-esteem in ur hands.

Whatever you do... be gentle.

[kellytheman]

Well it might different for a girl and. guy but if a 12 year old girl was hitting on me I try to find a way to walk away or let her down easy telling her she is too young.

[DJB72]

I'm 52. I'd start by staying at least 6' away from them

[TiaNour]

It happened to me many times but they just flirt, which is funny lmfao

[NathanDavis]

talk to parents

[TadBehaya]

his parents would beat the shit out of him if they happen to know. he is a harmless little kid lol. but if he does something that is pushing the limits, i'll surely seek to teach him a lesson! thanks

[NathanDavis]

what if he's doing the same to other more vulnerable people...

that's why I would talk to the parents right away

[laly520]

tell his parents

[talka20]

laugh or get weirded out n then ignore

[OtterMan68]

[Guido]

Ignore them and send them back to the kids table.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Pat her head then leave her alone

[VanillaBomb]
