TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
I constantly push people away... They say they like me or they want to date me, and I push them away everytime. Does this mean I'm not ready for a boyfriend.. or am I just not the boyfriend type.

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey,

Thanks so much for reaching out to TEEN LINE. It sounds like you're doubting yourself when it comes to relationships and what others think of you. You mentioned that they do want to date you and you push them away, so maybe the way you're feeling is just an indication that you're not ready for a boyfriend, which is perfectly ok. Have you taken some time to think about this? Or have you considered talking to someone about it, such as a trusted friend or adult? You're also more than welcome to call us here at TEEN LINE. We're open every night from 6pm to 10pm PST and our number is 310-855-4673.
