There's this boy I like; I don't use the other term because... it seems a bit,ah,serious. Anyway, I wonder if he like me back. Only he know I like him. In fact, the whole student body and their mothers probably know I like him! And... we're friends. But the funny thing is, is that even though he knows I like him, he doesn't act like that's a big deal. Just the other day I was absent from school,and he wondered where I was! It seemed like he missed me that day! And he does really stupid stuff when I'm around. Like, he may be doing stupid stuff in the first place, but when I'm around , he just acts even more stupid. And he keeps looking at me. Like, he may be looking at someone else when he's talking to them, but sometimes he'll put in the casual glance. And when he brought in some dove for us to eat for biology class, he said that he save the biggest piece for me. And his friends tease me a lot too. Also, whenever his mother's around, she's really nice to me.So, what do you think? Reply to this Question Share |

My advice would be this,
He doesn't make fun of you for liking him, boys that age would if they didnt care about the person. He seems like a good friend and these can be hard to find, so you are both young and as you mum probably says boys mature later then girls (yes it's true, but dont tell my mother i said that she was right :) ) You are probably going to have to give him a couple of years to catch up with you in the growing up stakes, but that doesn't mean that you cant just be good friends or that he does like you either, it's just not the right time. Let things pan out naturally on this one, then no point in rushing anything, both of you have to be comfortable with idea for it to work

I think you're just discovering the feelings that go on between men and women, and at the moment it means nothing at all other than that you are aware of him. You'll find that if he does like you (I'm sure he does) he'll say something to that effect. Boys and girls do not read minds! It needs someone to SAY something.
