Should I?


I have a best friend who's a guy, and I have a crush on him. Everyone says he has a crush on me, too. He always flirts with me and asks if I have a crush on him, and when I deny it he looks a bit sad. We share secrets and play together every day and I want to know if you think that I should let him know my feelings? I really want to tell him but I'm not sure if I should. - Steph, 10, Australia

 

"Hey,Steph!" I think if you have a crush on him and you really like him you should tell him. But, if it is just a little crush, then, that is what you tell him. The next time he asks you if you like him, say you have a crush but you're not completey IN LOVE yet. If he back talks or doubts your feelings he is not good enough for you because he dosn't respect your feelings.

"Hey,Steph!" I know how you feel. I had a crush on my friend to and it was a big crush. You know the over the moon and behind the sun kind? Well I told him how Ifelt and as it turned out he had a crush on me too. Of course we're no longer dating eachother but we still hang out a lot. So I suggest you just tell him and if he doesn't feel the same way, ask him to stay friends with you. It's still cool! P.S. I hope things work out the way you planned.

"Hey,Steph!" If he is your best friend, you should talk to him and tell him how you feel. I mean what's the worst that can happen; he likes you and people know that, so if you say what's true and tell him you like him instead of bringing him down, you can be so much happier and have nothing bad on your mind. Probably if you deny it it will put him down and he willstop asking you and you will look back and say, "Darn, I shoud have said yes!" Well, I hope I helped you.

Where'd She Go?

My friend used to hang with me but now she is always too busy for me. Should I tell her how I feel? - Libby, 12, Tennessee

"Hey, Libby!" That type of situation can be pretty tough! It sounds like your friend may be pretty busy. Does she do any sports, clubs or after school activities that keep her busy? If she does, then maybe you should leave her a little space, because she might actually be really busy. But, if she seems to do this to avoid you, don't be afraid to talk to her about it. Tell her how you feel and let her know that you really would like to hang out with her more. If your friend seems to never have any time with you what so ever, then its time to go to other friends and hang out with them instead. It does kind of hurt when it seems like your friend is too busy for you. Keep on letting her know that you would like to do more thing with her, but at the same time, don't wait for her to stop being busy. Its time that you go out and make new friends that actually have time to hang out with you! Good luck!

Karin, 15, USA

"Hey, Libby!" Going into middle school was one of the hardest experiences I've had to deal with. But I must say, it was worth it. I'm a completely new person for the better. I found out who I was and who my true friends were. I'll be going into 8th grade in about a week and I'm sure it's going to be strange going on without someone I've always had there. But going without and having a tiny ache that will fade is much better than trying to make something work that isn't meant to be and causing a giant sore in the heart that only hurts more and more each day. As hard as it is, people do change, including you. New friends are good to have. Keep old friends close, but only if they're worth keeping. And maybe your friend feels the same way. Maybe she feels like you two are drifting apart, or she knows your relationship is changing; it may frighten or upset her. My advice: Talk to her. Good friends are friends who are there to talk with, be honest with and to listen to. You'll know what to do by how she reacts to your concerns. It will soon become very clear that you two should just sit down and talk about it, one at a time. It could be a misunderstanding or misinformation from another girl you both are associated with. Whatever the outcome, Libby, I hope it all works out for you.
