Girls: Your reaction to 10 various situations (Part 2)

Your age?

Your race/ethnicity? Please excuse the simple and limited options.

1. You are lounging at home in your room on a Friday night, since you've finished all your studies and have nothing much to do. Your new boyfriend calls you and you happily chat for a while. He tells you that next week he is going to the beach with a few of his neighborhood friends who are all boys and wants to know if you'd like to come as well. You ask if they are bringing their girlfriends and he says no. He explains that he still wants to use the opportunity to spend more time with you, but also his friends have been bothering him lately and saying that there's "no way" his new girlfriend is as pretty as he claims. So he would like you to meet them and prove them wrong. You feel flattered and agree to go. You hang up the call and then start thinking about what to wear. What do you decide?

2. Your best friend invites you to go shopping with her and her other female friends at the mall, explaining that she wants to begin jogging to get healthier and needs to buy some exercise clothes to do it. You meet the group at the mall and spend a while shopping, eventually being talked into buying a set of exercise clothes yourself, and now you're sitting in the food court. Your best friend excuses herself to the restroom, leaving you with her two other friends. Friend 1 tells you that she thinks you'll look "really hot" in your new jogging outfit, prompting Friend 2 to roll her eyes. You say thanks for the compliment and add that you hope your boyfriend will like it whenever he sees it. Friend 2 says "See, I told you she has a boyfriend, so you can stop hitting on her". Friend 2 turns to you and says "She likes girls and thinks you're hot, but I keep telling her you already have a boyfriend". Friend 1 smacks Friend 2 on the shoulder and replies "You didn't have to come right out and say it! Besides...I'm a girl, so I'm not competing with any boyfriends. It's different. Right?" she adds, turning to you with a hopeful look. You don't know what to say, so Friend 2 says "Sorry about her. She's been single for a long while and is starved for affection. In fact, I'll give you $20 if you give her a kiss, because that should shut her up for a while". Friend 1 smacks Friend 2 on the shoulder again and says "Just knock it off". She leans back in her chair, looking bright red and dejected. What do you do?

3. You are out eating dinner at a nice restaurant with your family. The meal is almost over and you excuse yourself to the restroom. Right before you enter, your phone vibrates with a text message and you stop to look at it. A boy exits the men's restroom in front of you and passes by you in the hallway. As he does, you feel his hand slide across your backside. You flinch and look up quickly at him. He's handsome and about your age. He says "Oh, my bad, sorry about that". There's a twinkle in his eye and a twisted smile on his face that gives you a strong impression that he touched you on purpose and is faking his apology. What do you do?

4. Your friend calls you in the morning and tells you that she is ready to go jogging around her neighborhood for the first time and invites you to go with her. You agree and meet her at her house. The two of you then exercise together, jogging around her entire neighborhood and making good time. She suggests that you go just outside the neighborhood and to a nearby park, so you do. You arrive at the park panting, sweaty, and thirsty. A group of 4 boys, who look to be a couple years younger than you, are sitting in the shade of a large tree nearby when they spot you. One of them exclaims "There's a couple of hot chicks!" while another whistles. The third boy says "Did you see them bend over just now? Wow!" and the fourth boy calls out "Hey girls, come on over! We'll share some water with you if you sit with us!" Your friend looks at you and mouths "Ugh" in disgust. What do you do?

5. The day of your beach trip with your boyfriend and his male friends has arrived. You show up to the beach a little early and get changed into the outfit/swimsuit that you chose for the occasion. Soon, your boyfriend spots you and greets you with a close hug. He whispers that you look great and that he's glad you agreed to come. From over his shoulder, you can see his three friends approaching you and so you get ready to greet them properly and try to make a good impression. Your boyfriend lets you go and you smile to his friends. Suddenly, your heart freezes and you realize that you know one of them: It's the boy who touched you at the restaurant the other day! Your boyfriend notices the change in your expression and asks you if something is wrong. What do you do?

6. Your boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon and you want to buy him a nice present, but you don't have a job nor do you have a big allowance from your parents. You ask your best friend what to do and she suggests that you try to earn the money. After trading some ideas back and forth, you settle on baking homemade cookies together and then selling them in your neighborhoods. She arrives at your house and hands you a bag as she enters. You look inside and see a pair of aprons with the words "Kiss The Cook" on the front. Your friend says that she borrowed them from her mother and that it's all she had, so you both share a laugh as you put them on and get started on the cookies. As you're busy working, your brother comes into the kitchen. Your friend turns and greets him, commenting about how she and you must look pretty funny in aprons and all covered in flour. He turns a little red and says that he thinks you both look cute. Your friend says "Aww, that's sweet" and you smile. As your brother is about to leave, your friend teasingly says to him "Hey, didn't you read?" and shows off the front of her apron more clearly. He reads it and, after hesitating awkwardly, walks up to your friend and kisses her cheek. Your friend giggles and then, before you can react since your hands are busy in dough, he walks to you and kisses your cheek as well. What do you do?

7. After finishing the cookies, your friend suggests that you go out through your neighborhood to begin selling them while they're at their freshest. You both go clean up in the bathroom and then your friend digs through the bag she brought and pulls out a small bikini. She grins and says that she had the ides that you should both wear bikinis when you sell the cookies in an attempt to get more attention and drive up sales. You aren't sure about her logic but eventually agree to the proposal. You both get changed into the bikinis and slip into some open-toed sandals before waving goodbye to your (wide-eyed) brother and heading outside with the cookies. You get a fair amount of suspicious looks but also lots of smiles and sales. The venture is a success, so you return home to grab the second batch of cookies and repeat the process in your friend's neighborhood. As you travel through, you eventually ring a doorbell and are greeted by a young boy opening the door. You recognize him as one of the boys who interacted with you and your friend at the park the other day when you were jogging. After you finish an awkward sales pitch, the boy tells you that he has plenty of cash because he just finished mowing lawns, and he's willing to buy the entire container of your remaining cookies. However, he tells you that he wants something else, too. He gives you the choice of what to do: Kiss him on the lips for 5 seconds, kiss your friend on the lips for 10 seconds and let him take a photo of it, or allow him to pour buckets of ice water over you and your friend while he video records it. What do you do?

8. Your father needed to leave town for a week-long business trip and your mother decided to go with him, leaving you and your brother home alone. Unfortunately, before you are able to enjoy having the house to yourselves at all, your brother becomes sick with a fever and is bedridden. You call your parents and are told to stay home and care for him. You check on him occasionally to bring him water or crackers. At dinner time, you go to him again and ask if he would like anything to eat. He weakly takes hold of your wrist and says "Anything would be fine, but...will you stay with me for a while?" A feeling of guilt swells within you as you realize that you haven't been taking very good care of him and have been leaving him alone for most of the day. You decide to try your best to make his favorite homemade meal that your mother cooks, and then also do something else special to try to help him feel better. What do you do?

9. Thankfully, you brother recovered from his illness in a few days. Your parents returned from their trip as well and now it's the weekend, meaning that it's time for your brother's baseball game. You don't typically attend his games unless your parents force you, but you're happy that he's feeling well and you don't happen to have any other plans because your boyfriend and best friend are both busy, so you agree to tag along for the afternoon. Your brother goes to get changed, but pauses and tells you that he's glad you came. "Maybe with you here I can hit two home runs instead of my usual one," he jokes. You laugh and say that you don't think that's happening. He says "Oh yeah? Let's bet. If I do it, you gotta give me a special congratulations. If I don't, I'll kiss your foot and admit you were right." You confidently agree to the bet and return to the bleachers to watch the game with your mother. To your great surprise, he does in fact hit two home runs, leading to his team pulling off the victory. As he comes off the field, he makes no further mention of the bet and you wonder if he was simply joking about the whole thing. Later at home, when you're in your room browsing on your phone, you hear a knock on your door and he comes in, closing the door behind him. He proudly smiles and says "Well? Where's my special congratulations? I won the bet." What do you do?

10. Your boyfriend invites you to a fair (locally-sponsored carnival) that is setting up nearby for a date. It's going to be just the two of you and you're very excited because you haven't been able to have many one-on-one dates recently. It's going to be a cold day, so you're thinking about what to wear when your boyfriend texts you saying that he's looking forward to seeing you and that he hopes you'll wear something really cute. You know that your boyfriend likes when you wear "girly" or feminine clothing like skirts, but the weather won't be ideal for it. What outfit do you decide to wear?

11. (BONUS QUESTION ON ABOVE SCENARIO): You are enjoying your date at the fair, but the weather is even colder than you expected and the hot food isn't helping to warm you up as you walk together. You are shivering and feel goosebumps on your skin, and eventually your teeth begin chattering. Your boyfriend dressed in his standard t-shirt, jeans, and boots, but he also added a bulky jacket. He doesn't appear to be cold. What do you do?
