DEAR ABBY: 1 am 16 and no raving beauty, but 1 am not ugly, either.

I was over at my house one night and she called up a boy I like. (Ill call him She asked him what he thought of me, and he come right out and say he LIKED me, but he didn't say he HATED me, either. (I was listening in on the other phone.) I was going to ask to our club dance, but now not sure. He has never asked me out, but whenever we were accidentally thrown together, he acted like he sort of liked me. I am all confused.

What should I do? UNDECIDED DEAR UNDECIDED: Forget and ask a boy who has asked you out. And if you want to be well-liked by both boys and girls, be a party to calling up boys. And NEVER listen in on the other phone. dishonest and childish. Karen Blake, Donna Jeanne Kindsey and JoLynn Woodard.
