YAGT: the continuance of my 9 year old son's girl issues

So, as he promised (see this thread) my 9 year old son told the girl at school that he liked her (which is surprising in itself because you usually doesn't keep his promises. I guess girls will do that to ya). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the admiration is mutual:

Him: Oh, dad, I told Hannah that I liked her today.
Me: You did? Cool.
Him: Yeah, her friends kept coming up to me asking me "who do you like? who do you like?"
Me: hmmm...so her friends kept asking you? Well, what did she say?
Him: She said she "likes me as a friend." 🙁

ooooooooooooooh, My son's first CRASH AND BURN!

We talked a little more:

Him: so how do I get her to like me as a girlfriend?
Me: Well, you need to keep talking with her every so often, be nice to her, maybe try to get her number so you can call her from home.
Him: I know, I can buy her a gift! (Sounds like an ATOTer)
Me: Well....
Him: Maybe you can take me to get her some jewelry or something.
Me: Whoa....let's not get to that point yet. Get her number first, then we'll see what happens. And if nothing happens, then there's always other girls, right?
Him: ........


So, not as funny as our other convo, but interesting nonetheless. He's already scheming on how to get her to turn the corner. We'll see if he comes home with her number tonight.

LOL I thought it was hilarious! I laughed out loud and everybody around my cubicle were wondering WTF.

Be worried when you son says something along the lines of:

I'm thinking about taking that new chick from 4th grade. If things go right I might be showing her my O-face. You know: Oh. Oh.
