Thirteen and young... but I really like this guy?

Question

Okay, I know what you are all thinking. I am too young for this. Yes, yes, I know, I know, but just keep reading. See, I've liked this guy (even though he's shorter than me) with red hair and blue eyes and freckles. I don't like him because he's "hot", I like him genuinely for who he is. I confessed to him a while ago that I liked him, but he said he thought of us as friends for now, and back then I was really shy, so I mostly just froze up in front of him. I just found a quote that really describes love. Love is like war, easy to start, hard to end. I think I was thinking of not liking him anymore, because a lot of times I was better at expressing my feelings in emails and writing then face-to-face. And sometimes, he looked like he ignored me.

After summer though, he's sort of been nicer to me. He said sorry about ignoring me and actually waited for me even when we were playing basketball even though all my other friends were already there. He always includes me in things and he's just been, well, noticing more. It might be just because he knows I like him though. For example, he pays more attention to me, and grins everytime I see him. We're good friends right now, but I'd like to know some tips about just getting over being nervous around him? I sort of agreed that we'd just be friends, but he also hinted that 'you never know' in the future. I don't want to date him to like kiss him or something, just so I could get closer and show him I really care. I really like him, and my friend keeps insisiting he likes me back and my other friend said I just rushed too much and that it'll take some time.

Sometimes he looks at me and smiles, always stands up for me, and likes to joke around with me. We're going to the movies (as friends) like next weekend. Any tips? Do you think he might like me like my friend said, or maybe I should wait until the future? For right now, I'm just wanting to know some advice about being better friends with him because I'm really a shy person in general?

P.S. I like him as much as Bella in Twilight loves Edward Cullen to show you what I mean... thanx :D

Answer 3

Okay.... I'm a guy and I really like this girl,but she  wasn't "hot". I liked her for who she was... We were really good friends, and I wanted to take our relationship to the next level.. bf/gf... She didn't take me super seriously... after that we pretty much weren't friends anymore.... I still liked her... later on she told me that she was seeing someone when I confessed.... she broke up with him a while ago.... now we're just pretty much friends, and I don't think we'll get back together.... As much as Teen Love rocks... I doesn't last....

In my experience, i would advise you not to jump into anything or to rush it. He's probably just got used to the idea you like him. Don't be nervous. The worst is over.

And don't get your hopes up, most guys will only let you down.

Be confident, and be yourself.

Goodluck

Answer 5

I know exactly how you feel. Im fourteen and theres a guy at school who I like. And no one gets why i like him, cause he' not "hot" (although i think hes gorgeous). I also told him that I like him and he likes me back, but because of some emotional issues (self-esteem and whatnot) he want to just be friends for now.

I'm really shy around him, but after we talked i wrote him this really sweet note about how I know what its like to feel the way he does and after that its been a lot easier.

I'd suggest just be there for him so he knows that he can talk to you. Going to the movies is a great idea and any way you can hang out with him, at lunch, in class whatever will bring you guys closer.

Theres a really big possibility that he likes you, I think you should just see what happens. Don't try to push or rush into anything and get good at being his friend first. If you get comfortable with each other he may be the one to tell you he likes you. :-)

Good Luck!

Answer 6

i think you should give him some time.........spend time with him though and get to know him , his likes, dislikes. stuff like that. don't get too interested.......wait for HIM to come to you. :)

Answer 7

aww that is sooo cuteee!!

im 13 too and yea im in 8th grade now and this guy i think likes me so i kinda start to like him now..haha but anywayyyyy i no what u mean and i have advice that will help.

okay well since u r kinda shy and me too but like u have to get over it. u need to hang out with him more so u can get over it.there is nothing to it. and i suggest that u might not want to wait till the future because if he does like u he might think ur over him so he'll get over u and go out with someone else. and based on the info u gave it seems like he probably likes u cuz he includes u in, and winks at u and smiles and stands up for u but maybe hes just being nice and if u known him for ever then he just does it cuz ur friends.!!!!! but anyway...see if u want to tell him u like him u might want to tell him in a note if ur too scared to tell face to face.but in the note tell him ur kinda shyy because telling him might brake the ice..and like u told us that u express urself more in writing...tell him how u feel in writing..because if he doesnt no how u really feel then he might think (again) ur feelings have changed. he might of thought over this situation over the summer because as u no u get more mature and realise more things so he probably started to like u. let him no that u still do.but unless he is like the w***e type lol

like the guy who likes S****y types then they probably wont care.

anywayyy...

i hope this helped..

oh and i hope u no that if u do go out then try to stay the same trust me its kinda easier said than done.like for example, i went out withtthis guy..i started to take more time on my looks and try to look really cute and it made me look like an *** because i wasnt the same person.its like really hard because u think of how he likes u and wan tot look specially good for him but thats ok if u do just dont go over board and ask kinda different. haha

omg.... young young love but its okay cuz it happens all the time...

GOOD LUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! message me if it works out!!!

im glad to help!

message me at [e-mail] kk byeee
