Crushes & Good Books

[Nahc-Aros]

Alright, and here's the thing with my crush.
We met about a year ago at this drama club that we both do. He had the lead role last year, and I was basically just an extra (I'm not a bad actress, I just missed the auditions). It wasn't like a had a crush on him from the beginning; at first we didn't really talk much. I hung with my friends, and he kept to his. But then later we started talking and joking and stuff, and I started really liking him near the beginning of summer. We're basically friends now, but here's a problem. It's kinda really very sick. Like really.
He's almost a year younger than me. I'm 13, he's 12, and we're ten months apart.
I'm sick, aren't I? Just tell me. I can take it...

....Wow, I'm sick...

Ok, thats not very sick, My best friend once dated a 15 year old when she was 12. you liking a kid a year younger than you is really NOT THAT BAD.

I have liked a boy a grade below me before (then again we were the same age and like 6 days apart) but still

theres this one guy in my class who me and my bff think likes me.
he's one of the most popular,blue eyes,blond hair,and freckles.
i'm only in fifth grade and some people claim that i'm to young to have a boyfreind but i dont. at ressces today,he came up to me and just started talking. and in class he ALWAYS talks to me. we call him pg. so what do you think? doese he like me or not?

Be careful with best guy buddies. Sometimes when you think they like you, they're actually just being friends. Right now, it sounds like it could go either way.
But I honestly think that you should wait until at least middle school to start dating. I have a guy friend who started having girlfriends when he was seven, and it hasn't done him much good.

ok. i dont mean i'm gonna date him but just to be freinds

[MadiBird]

Oh, okay, well that's cool then

Usually if more than one person thinks that someone likes them, they do. If you really like him, you should ask him if he likes you. Maybe he'll answer and say yes. Then mayeb you could date in middle school. Don't make him stop liking you, that's the worst thing you could do!

You're lucky! I've always wanted the popular boys to like me. Some of them are ugly, but some are really cute.

If you start out as friends, a relationship may start. My friend liked a boy, he had a gf, but then he broke up with the other girl for my friend. He liked her better than his ex-gf. It could happen!

I bet lots of girls are totally jealous. And once you date him, you'll meet his really popular friends. Then you'll start to get even more popular.


I hope something good will happen for you!

[MadiBird]

But you shouldn't date a guy just because he popular

[waterberry456]

That's true. But the popularity's just a plus. LOL

I wnat you to tell me if I'm innocent or not.

So we were running the mile in gym today. My friend offered to give me a piggy-back ride. So I accepted. I jumped onto her back. Then she ran. She got tired and let me down. Then, I ran ahead with my other friend. Without asking her, I almost jumped onto her back. The boys nearby ( and some of them are cute ) went " WOAH! " as in what I was doing was wrong. I wasn't really thinking at the time. I told my friend that I wasn't trying to look like I like girls. She knew I didn't mean it and we got over it.

What should I do if I see those boys in my other class? Should I forget about it?

[MadiBird]

Alrighty waterberry,
I don't think you should worry about it too much. Girls are like that all the time, and it doesn't always mean that they're gay. If those guys (or anyone else) makes a comment reffering to the piggyback or whatever, just tell them that they should keep their mouth shut if they don't know what they're talking about. Boys are stupid, and you really shouldn't let anything they say bug you.

[waterberry456]

Thanks. I think one of the boys ( the one that isn't cute or really nice ) likes me.

clues:
1. he always looks at me
2. he jokingly makes fun of me
3. when i said my friend plays drums he said, so do i
4. he always looks at me to see if i like his jokes
5. he listens to me
6. he acts cool
7.e.t.c.

Sadly, I don't like him. He tries to scare me by talking about intestines ( I hate blood and I hate when people talk about organs....EWWW!! ) and he succeeds.

MadiBird, thanks for making me feel better. I care about what people think most of the time. I'm glad you understand!
