[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the have her tell the girl to join, but ride in back with her.  Over time the groups will either naturally split or the boys will realize it does not really matter that someone else has joined.

Also, is there a reason the other girl is not welcome?  Is she flakey or always late?  Maybe just tell your daughter it’s fine to agree that the group leaves on time regardless of who shows up.  I could see kids not wanting to have to risk being late.[/quote]

They don’t like her because- and this is such typical MS BS- she tried to play matchmaker with mutual friends and was annoying when it didn’t work out.

The girls can’t ride in the back- the boys aren’t meeting them at our house anymore.  Since last week they’ve just been riding on their own. I assume this will all blow over but DD has been good friends with these boys since they were in elementary school and doesn’t want to lose their friendship.

Sounds like the boys have good reason not to like the other girl.  They don’t need to include someone who messes with their lives.  I can’t imagine my son would want anything to do with a girl who is playing matchmaker.  He really just wants to play sports.  He’s not “in love” yet.[/quote]

Ridiculous, do you actually know any middle schoolers?  They aren't "in love" but all the boys and girls are constantly match making.  [/quote]

No they aren't ALL doing that. But the ones who are can be very aggressive about it. Texting asking over and over again if one person likes another, or if they are going to ask them "out" or do this and that. They are very persistent and annoying about it. Not everyone is obsessed with boys/girls or matchmaking at 12. Only the hyper sexualized ones.[/quote]
