Ouch Traci, it's a tough age!
Tell your son "it's her loss" and theres LOTS of other girls waiting inline for him to ask them out.
On second thought, please tell him to ENJOY his young life, and theres plenty of time still for him to date girls!
My son dated a girl for 9 months, it was a total nightmare, she had some baggage with her while she is a year younger then him, and he was so not ready for all that.
I now encourage him to stay single, stay young, and ENJOY life with his friends.

I agree with Mandy 15 is a hard age and to keep telling him its her loss.. He will be fine, make him understand that this is part of life.. The rest have given you good advice. I know it hurts us more when our children hurt... This will not be the first time.... he is a little to young to be dating he has his plenty of time ahead for that. Tell him he should just be friends with girls nothing more...

Food is always a good comforter

If only they would just want to be friends with the girls! 15 year old boys (and girls) are walking hormones!

Maybe she actually can't date him. I don't know how old she is, but I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16.

She was already dating someone before my son. I think it may be that his idea of dating is more like hanging out together than actual dating. They have been friends for over a year now and he has always liked her.

My son is 17 and he has not asked anyone out because he is afraid of the rejection. Kudos to your son for taking the chance...that's the only way he'll learn. Maybe she said "I can't" because she doesn't want to ruin the friendship they have. Tell him to keep on being friends with her and maybe she'll come around. Man, I would not want to be a teenager again for any amount of money.
