I don't know what to do. I have a crush on a really sweet guy, but I don't know how to tell him. To me it seems like he's perfect. The other thing is that my parents forbid me to date, but I'm beginning not to care. I've had a crush on this guy for six months now, and I don't even know if he has a girlfriend or not. What should I do?

Sincerly,

Lovesick

Lovesick24 agony auntWow... That sounds like trouble, but fun! Maybe this summer or something, I'll get my friends to go on a group date. I think your right, becoming his friend first would probably be the best thing to do. That way I can always tell my parents we're just friends. Thanks again to everybody who replied to this!

Sincerly,

Lovesick

thatgothgirl20 agony auntAsk him out. You gotta break the rules once in a while.

It's a part of growing up!!!!

Btw, nobody is perfect. Go on group dates, or become his friend first for a while before you ask him out.

Try to be safe.

Tisha-1 agony auntCrushes are so energizing, aren't they? I've had lots of crushes in my life and I think they are something to enjoy.

Back in the dark ages, when I was your age, when I developed a crush on someone, I would try to figure out what he was interested in, and then I would pursue that particular interest. Like if he was an athlete, I would learn more about the sport he was involved in, so if we ever had the chance to talk, I would have some knowledge about it. As a result, I went from being a spectator in sports to being an athlete myself! This paid off later because I played varsity in softball, basketball and volleyball, and then enjoyed these later in life...

Or if he was in a club in school, I would join it, and it usually resulted in developing yet another interest. I have to say, when it came time to apply to colleges, I had a lot of interesting things I could put on the application!

As far as dating goes, I don't know exactly how old you are, somewhere between 13 and 15 it says, but maybe rather than thinking about actual 'dates' you could explore group activities with friends that include both girls and boys. That way, you're not going against your parents, but you can get a chance to know this guy a little better.

Well, all the best, and enjoy the feelings of having a crush!

It seems to me that you should try and get closer to this guy, inniate a conversation or something. You've liked him for 6 months, and you need to tell your parents you're growing up, and have a right to do what you like as long as it's safe! I'm sure they're only being like this with your best interests at heart, but this is taking it too far. If they ask where you're going or who this boy is, tell them you like him and you're not a little kid they need to protect any more. Don't hold back, go for it girl :]
