writes: My problem is I'm 13 and me and this guy used to talk occasionally, but not any more, since my brother told him that I liked him. I guess he thought is was awkward to talk to me, but now he doesn't talk to me at ALL!But the biggest dilemma is he's 16 and I'm 13, so I think might not like me cause he's either afraid to go out, coz you know, 10th graders don't go out with 7th graders, or he just doesn't like me.I really want him because he's one of the nicest, most sweetest persons in the world and he's got good looks, to boot, so I just love him to death and I don't know what to do, thanks to my brother :( So anyone, please help me. I don't know what to do. Reply to this Question

If you can get a chance talk to him tell him your brother is a dork and you totally just want to be friends. Just take it from there. Friends come first then it could favor your way. Good luck

 At the age you are now, the years between you seem like an insurmountable gulf, but they're not. Not really. You'll see that eventually, and so will he. If this boy really likes you, he'll find a way to show it. You only have to look at this column to see a few questions from boys his age, interested in girls your age. But just because he's a few years older than you doesn't mean he's a worldly sophisticate! He's just as shy and confused as you are, trust me.Why don't you try talking to him first, and see what sort of response you get? It doesn't have to be anything earth-shattering. Something like "Hi, what did you do at the weekend?" would be a place to start. Give him a chance to talk to you by taking the initiative.He may just be embarrassed that your brother noticed he was taking an interest in you (boys that age are notoriously easy to embarrass) and so feels a little uncomfortable now. Just be the same, friendly, interesting person you were before your brother made his comments and I'm sure things will be fine.Try not too expect too much from this guy though; as you point out, in the 10th Grade, appearances count for everything, so he may not be willing to ask you out, even if he does like you. So what? You won't be 13 forever, and you can still talk to him and get to know him and be friends for however long it takes him to realise that.In the meantime, don't be afraid to broaden your horizons and get to know other boys nearer your age. Your 16-year-old isn't the only boy in the school - or on the planet - you know!Good luck with it.
