okay, i’ve had this guy friend for awhile.
he moved last year to this town and we got off great. lately, this year, we’ve been doing a lot more together, walking, talking, you know, and i didn’t think any thing of it. then one day, this girl i know comes up to me and says, are you and so-in’so going out? i told, no and asked who had told her. she never answered me and then i got to thinking. we have lots of fun together, we have lots of inside jokes, he can always make me laugh, and he has great grades, (for a guy)
so the question is, should i go for it, i mean i’ve always liked him as more than a friend for the past little while ( before the question) and the question just made me relise how far fetched it isn’t. but there is one problem, i’m 14 and i’m not allowed to date until i’m 16. HELP!!!!!!!

Wait till your 16 and then go for it!! In the meantime keep the friendship going. It will be great to have history to base your relationship on.
before we get to far, i have a lot of worries, so bear with me.
1) what if someone takes him before i do and
2) when the time comes, what if he isn’t interested.
by the way, i liked the joke with the cat and dog thing.
Those are good points but you shouldn’t go against your parents wishes if they don’t think you should date until you’re 16. Maybe you could talk to your parents about what a wonderful guy he is and let them meet him, maybe they will make an exception for you to start dating. Your parents may be understanding about this as long as you are honest with them.
And I am glad you liked the cat/dog thing, I thought it was hilarious.
okay, those are also good points, but i also have to get the guy to agree with this first. i have to know that he also wants to keep his end of the deal if you know waht i mean.
Maybe you should ask him point blank: Do you like me as more than a friend? See what he says and go from there.
im one of those people that get imperissed if i say something wrong in class. and i have a feeling he won’t make it bad for me, but i don’t want it to be awkward if he doens’t say yes. you get where i’m going?
Don’t date one-on-one yet. Now’s not the time.
You’re 14, just starting puberty; you will go through ENORMOUS physical, mental, and emotional changes over the next few years. There’s absolutely no reason to think you’ll even be interested in the guy next year, let alone when you finish high school or college.
Just enjoy hanging out together with other friends. Dating one-on-one is when you start to think about becoming part of a permanent couple; after a few years, you start to understand what kind of person you’re looking for, and people start thinking of pairing off permanently around age 18-20. Your preferences are going to change so much over the next little while that it will do you no good to date exclusively, and limit the amount of fun you could be having.
Yes I see what your saying. I hate getting embarrassed too. Since you two already hang out so much there is very likely a chance he will say yes. Or you could wait for him to ask you…
as much as i would like that, i don’t think that that will happen. i do have his email if that is worth anything.
also, there’s this girl in french (french is the only class i have with him) and i’m jealous of her. i know i know, we’re not even dating and i’m jealous. anyway, they themselves talk alot, private jokes and whatnot, but then i think about how we hang out. why does love have to be so confusing!?!?!?
I don’t know why love is so confusing but it just is. I am 27 years old and still don’t quite understand love sometimes. And being jealous of another girl he talks to is normal but you will probably get over that.
god, i hope i do! and they don’t just talk, it’s kind of everything they do. but then i htink, who’s partener is hee practilly rushing to be when one is needed, who does he walk home with almost evry day, who does he tell things to? me!i think i’m just over reacting, it’s a thing that i do. i’ve got to learn to deal with things and not let them fester.
okay, thanx for the support, my friends don’t even know that i like him. (haven’t told them yet)maybe i should tell them and they could help me……
You’re welcome…. And yeah you should probably tell your friends if they haven’t already figured it out lol! But if you and this guy spend that much time together I suspect they already may think something is going on between you and him, maybe I’m wrong but you never know unless you talk to them about it.
have i told you that someone stared a rumoer that him and i were dating? well soemone did, i’m not sure who, and i don’t know if he knows. (haven’t told him either, told friends though)
No, I didn’t know about the rumor… Chances are he has probably heard it but he hasn’t mentioned it to you because it is an awkward thing for him to bring up.
that’s why i didn’t want to tell him about it! i’m not the public displays of afections type person….. i’ll just tell my friends and go from there.
you must be bored with me. lol any way, talk to u later
Lol ok no I’m not bored with you, I just don’t know what else to say. I think you have figured out on your own what to do. But I have been very glad to listen and support you on your decisions. Any time you want to talk let me know.
thanx, alot. and i may just hold u up on that offer, so be prepared!
i think that it is great that you have a friend that you can kick it with, but you are A little young to be dating, but if you think it will work go for it, but i know from my own mess ups, that you can lose a good friendship when you hook up, so if you want try it and if you even think its no goin to work break it off before its too late
