[Freeze Your Brain]

I just kind of want to talk abt my crush (?) a little bit since I haven't told anyone irl that I like them (and i probably won't ever tell anyone irl now that i think abt it)
anyways, I've sort of known them since like elementary school honestly and i kind of hated them then, not gonna lie (tbh i hated everyone). maybe sophomore year i started sort of talking to them and i was like?? they're actually sorta cool?? wow did not expect this.
so then senior year of hs, i had a few classes with them so i would talk to them even more, not even realizing that i liked them a lot until they said that they were going to college in california
so after we graduated i (in a rare, rare moment of bravery) messaged them on fb and gave them my number. not just because i had a crush on them, but also because i really like them as a friend and wanted to stay in contact and whatever. and anyways, i haven't seen them since school ended but i've been texting them like more than i text anyone else, even my best friend. and it's just. idk when i'll see them again (if ever) but they've really helped me with some stuff and yeah. i probably like them too much for my own good and they probs don't like me back and i don't rly see the point in telling them if they're that far away. what could come of it anyways? but whatever i'm rly happy just being friends with them
thanks if you read all of that

i want to know what you guys think about this.

i've posted about him before, but i'll give a quick recap. he is a senior and i am a freshman, so there is a rather large age difference, but i don't think it is too drastic. we have known each other for five years, but really only became friends this year. i got the courage and asked for his number, and now we text occasionally. i was invited to his birthday party last saturday, and I was so glad i went. we took a few pictures together, and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and i put my arm around his waist. before this day, he had never touched me whatsoever, so i was pretty shocked by it. i told him i was really nervous about coming because i didn't know anyone, and he told me to be myself and have fun. he talked to me when i was lonely at the party, which was really sweet. he even invited me to dinner with his friends. then at the end, he got up from his chair and hugged me goodbye, which was really surprising because he is pretty awkward and shy. i really like him, he is always on my mind, but i'm afraid to tell him for fear that I might be too young and it would be awkward, plus i'm not even allowed to date. but based on this information, does it seem that he might like me, just a bit? any advice would be helpful c:

So I'm super conflicted right now and I just need to vent.
I'm I'm love with N. But he's been ignoring me and I've seen him hanging out with another girl so I'm trying to move on.
I really like S, but that situation, I just don't really know...I feel like it still has a possibility of going somewhere.
And then there's L, who's super sweet and all, but I'm so wrapped up in N, trying to fix the situations with N and S that I'm unsure if I can try a relationship. Plus L is moving a few states away in a few days and I don't want anything long distance. And I don't have feelings for him. Bit my friend is playing a game with him and I'm so jealous. I don't know if it's the sad music triggering emotions, or maybe I actually do feel something.
I'm so lost and confused...

ugh<3

school started about a month ago for me and i was ready to start the semester and focus on my studies, but then he got in the way. after the first week of school, my friend had a party at her house. all my friends from the previous year were going and it was small, so i tagged along. we got there and the friend hosting it started lying to our faces when we all new the truth, so four of us left. we wandered aimlessly around town and that's when i started realizing i had feelings for (lets call him) tip. for a few days after that it was all mindless flirting and constant playful banter between me and tip. about a week after that, though, things started to get pretty serious. we would cuddle whenever we got the chance and he would always sneak up behind me and grab my waist. this lasted for just over a week. we went on a 'date' at a bunch of walking trails near where i live. we were down by the river (just the two of us) and he asked me out. i never felt so happy <3

i feel rather conflicted, though. we've been dating for almost a week now and we've gotten pretty far into our relationship. we're both comfortable where we're at and we know each others boundaries. my problem is the people around me. my friends like to pester him (most of the time jokingly) because he's that one person that's easy to bother. it's all fun and games for all of us until someone takes it to far. when i stand up for tip, my friends start telling me that im 'biased' towards him because we're dating. it severely aggravates me. i always try to keep myself in the middle and i balance my plans with tip and with my friends as much as i possibly can. what annoys me is when i get told that i 'spend to much time with him' or i need to 'stop touching him that's gross'. you wouldn't believe how many times (jokingly or not) we've been attacked about holding hands, hugging, grabbing waists, playful hitting and simply looking into each others eyes for an extended amount of time. we don't go anywhere passed the basic couply/flirty contact in front of my friends so i don't understand what they're talking about. yes, we've kissed in front of them but that seemed to get less attention than simply holding hands.

this is basically just a vent about how mad i get when it comes to the 'ews' and 'stop doing that'. even if it's a joke, it gets very, very annoying.

I hate being female sometimes.

So, the kid (We shall call him Bob for the sake of simpleness) is - WAS in all of my classes. In most of them, Bob sat next to me, and I was thrilled. Then the worst thing happened. He told me (and like 5 other people <3) that he was going to a different school, and today was his last day. At the beginning of the school year, I told myself that I would not fall for a guy. Period. Well, look where I am now! Anyways, at about the second week, I wanted to be friends with him. By week 3 we were somewhat friends. That's when the female hormones kicked in. I laughed at all of his jokes, made stupid remarks, and teased Bob, while he did the same. Then, when that dreaded day came, which was about week 5/6, I had a mental break down. Bob told me in second period that he was moving. I was sad, but I didn't let him see. Then came fourth period, where his crush, which was my best friend and she knows, finds out about the leaving. During the whole period her and another friend of mine keep passing me notes begging me to tell Bob about my crush on him. Thank god I had a good way to start it, because the day before he had asked who my crush was. (Talk about awkward.) Of course, in fourth, the teacher gets mad at him, and moves him as far away from me as possible. Great. Then comes 5th period, which is when I tell him. The conversation goes something like this.
"Hey Bob."
"Sup?"
"Soo.. You wanted to know who my crush is?"
"Heck yeah!"
"Don't judge me."
"Fine."
"It's.. Uh.. You."
And then we lapse into an extremely awkward silence. I then ask if the feeling is mutual, and he says "mostly". Now, I don't know if he just didn't want to hurt my feelings or what. For the rest of the period, he stands by me, and at one point he sat next to me, and put his hand on top of mine. I was on Cloud Nine. Then we went through the rest of the day, but of course he had gotten in trouble with the teachers somewhat flirting with me, and was moved. Was this on purpose? I don't know. Finally, the day ends, and my friend who Bob had/has a crush on chants "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Or at least hug!" He ended up just saying bye, and he patted my back. Not my bottom, more like my shoulder blades. The next day, which I was hoping that he would be there, saying there was a delay, but he never did come back. It's been a few weeks, and I still can't get over him. My only problem is that I didn't get his number, email, or anything. I tried searching him on FB, but nothing showed. Earlier today though someone said that they had his number. How do I ask? Should I ask? Should I move on?

I felt like ranting about this.

this whole story was kinda sweet c:
definitely ask! just casually, "hey, i was wondering if you had --'s number?" is fine! it sounded like things were going positively between the two of you, so don't move on until you're 100% sure you have no way to contact him. maybe he's feeling the same way? if you really can't find him and it's starting to impact you negatively then just move on and enjoy the memories. good luck!

Does anyone know what would be a good anniversary gift? I've been stressing out about this. I usually gift my boyfriend something simple (bracelet, stuffed animal, etc) or I write him a letter/draw him something, but I want to do something different this year. I'm in a LDR and he might come visit, so I plan on taking him out for dinner if he does. Any ideas?

Dinner is a great idea! As for gifts, why not ask him what he wants? I asked my boyfriend what he wanted for our anniversary and he said a pair of coca cola bottles with our names on them, so I got him that and a coca cola shirt that I saw in the store. That way, he got what he wanted plus a surprise

Wow, I haven't hardly been posting in here. Was busy for quite a while and since then I often see posts that I don't feel able to answer.
Those questions of 'should I say now or wait' and 'who should I pick' are just gah, I can't answer those without knowing the people.

As for my own life, still miss my dude but he sent me a wonderful picture of him actually smiling?!?!?! whaaaaaaaat. And it was because he was so happy for me. ^_____^ It was lovely and I squeed like a little fangirl. All his soldier buddies are going to think I'm the weirdest person when they get back and I latch onto him like a koala but I don't care. They are flabbergasted that he found someone he wants to settle down with and so I'm quite curious to know if I'm at all what they expected. xD

One month down, eight to go.
