Dd and her friend are both 15yo. They pal as part of a regular, larger group and they all take turns having sleepovers.
One friend in particular is always asking dd about her sexuality, her body etc. When she sleeps over, she's very touchy with dd and, though there's a spare bed in the room, she always wants to sleep with dd, asking to spoon.
I've chatted to dd before about it and explained some nice ways to let her friend know she just wants to be friends which she has done. That's why dd agreed to have her over again tonight, she thought she had got the message. Dd has just come downstairs and asked me what to do. She says her friend is doing the same thing again. Getting ready for bed, she dropped her towel and asked dd what did she think of her boobs.
I really don't want this other girl to be hurt but I also don't want dd feeling uncomfortable.
I need some 'jokey' but 'gets the point across' sentences that dd can use that won't hurt her friend.
She's already told her friend it's cool to be whoever she is and never be worried about what people think so her friend knows dd wouldn't care less if she's bisexual or lesbian.
The only problem is she seems to have a 'thing' for dd and she wants to let her down gently but once and for all.
Any advice much appreciated.
