Did you ever get a friend to tell someone you would like to go out with them?..... Or did someone ask you on behalf of a friend to go out with the friend. I am confusing myself here. You know what i mean i am sure.... Do folk still do it or is it a generation thing?

It's common practice to get a mutual friend to test the waters with someone you like and want to go out with. Humans loath rejection and like to find out if they stand a chance first. While especially popular with younger folk, I have seen this tactic used even in old age homes.

The worst one with me was when this new english teacher started i dont think he could have been out of school himself for many years, i was about 14 and had a crush on him, one of my friends went upto him and asked him if he had got a valentines card from me and if he had sent me one. The worst thing was that i was stood near him at the time and hadnt even sent him one.
The kids do still do this though as my kids have have been stood outside not knowing i could hear and they have been asking girls out for their friends and vise versa.

I left school a long time ago but yes this is how you would go out with someone, your friends would ask.
I remember thinking that I would never be able to speak to a boy myself when I was older, how wrong I was!! ;0)

it's a teenage thing...why would anyone do it after school...sure they've grown up and past that stage.
but talking about that I had to tell a girl that I work with that a boy in a different section likes her.
bit pathetic that they can't do it themselves.
but hey I don't mind telling people that the other likes them.
but I wouldn't like someone else to come to me in behalf of someone else.

Yes I remember it happening to me years ago my friend set me up with this guy and I really didn't like him. I gave him some awful excuse for leaving. It must be 30 years ago and I still see him about I don't think he every forgave me he still stares at me strangely.
I think the kids still arrange dates for their friends I hear my two nieces chatting.

A girl in my class asked me to pass a note to a guy she fancied something rotten, I passed on her note but he ignored her and she never spoke to me again, like it was my fault he didn't fancy her, I think the kids are a bit more bold today and just text each other to ask them out.

sooner let the earth swallow you up than ask yourself?
leave sweets on certain doorsteps with "will you be mine" etched on them?
pass notes through a reliable friend to the source?
Generation thing - they have mobiles, attitude, and "know"
more than "we" ever did - ha- if only they knew half of what WE did!

I did both while at school. I'm late 20s now, but my teenage niece and her friends do this still.

worryingly enough, it happened to me at work. i told my supervisor i liked one of the guy we worked with, and he went and told him! it was a classic "my mate fancies you!" moment.
i was so embarrased. but this happened nearly 7 years ago, and now i am married to the guy and have 2 kids! :)
