How to deal with people teasing you for liking someone?

[Anonymous]

Basically I like this girl. The problem is everyone keeps teasing us about it.
So basically, what should I do so they would stop it.

Should I
a) Ignore it
b) Tell them to stop.
c) Ride along with the teasing
d) Other suggestions

This happened in the past to me with another girl. Before, I ignored the teasing.

I don't really know what happened, but I felt awkward talking to her or too conscious when I talk to her and I think she felt the same way.

In the end, it never worked out. Basically, I don't want the same thing to happen again.

What should I do? What is the proper way of handling this situation?

I think you should ride with the teasing, like laugh when your friends tease you. Or smth like that. There was this guy at school that I liked and I was pretty sure he liked me too. His friends would tease us, saying like 'here your gf dude' and stuffs like that and he always laughed with them. That way you'll show you like a girl but she might think that you're just being funny. Adventually they stopped but they still smile when they see me (they figured out that I liked him and that's why they teased us, but now he has a gf so they don't)

Wow. Teasing about liking someone at your age? Who the heck are your friends? I'm sorry, I just find that absurd beyond the age of 10-13. I think you should just separate yourself from these people entirely if that is at all possible. Otherwise just ignore it.

They probabaly like you themselves and that's why they are teasing you

You actually render it ineffective by joining in and making yourself out to be comfortable with it. People tease to get a rise out of you so if you're not showing for it and genuinely seem disinterested... there's nothing to tease you over.

Not "disinterested" I meant "disengaged", that is to say you're unaffected to the point where you are in on the joke too.

I don't suggest telling them to stop. That's the worst thing you could.

So have you asked her out, or what?
