[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, this is perfectly in line with what's been going on since the dawn of time.  It's not like he is evil and she needs protecting. Let your DD handle it. [/quote]

I think there are clearly some boy-haters out there, or at least parents of only girls who are incredibly biased against boys.  This boy did the equivalent of passing her a note saying he liked her.  She replied, no thank you (I do think she should've dropped the snarky, "Umm".  No need to be rude.).  Other than that, this is not a harassment scenario, for crying out loud.  The boy took it very well and sounds like a good guy.  I'm sure his feelings were hurt, though - that's only natural, just as hers would have been hurt had the situation been reversed.  It would have been kinder to leave out the snarkiness and just give him the straightforward, "No thanks."

Those of you with daughters, how would you feel if yours had told a boy she liked him, and he had responded, "Ummm, no thank you."  I'm sure your daughter's feelings would have been crushed and I imagine you, as a parent, would hurt for them.  Give this boy a break.[/quote]
