I really like this boy named Robert and he likes me too. We were boyfriend and girlfriend for like five times but now he flirts with me a lot. I think he may want to take things a little too far, but I think I’m too young. Some of my friends tell me to get over him but it’s not so easy. I have a lot of feelings for him and I want to tell him how I feel. But I’m shy and I just don't know what to do. I need good advice. – Jenna, 13, Pennsylvania

Lets see, you went out with him five times, correct? If it did not work out the first or second time, odds are the relationship was not meant to be. He probably just wants you for something that you may not be ready for. Yes, you have major feelings for him. That is understandable, but you should let him go. Yes, it will be hard. You have friends who are just protecting you and they want to be there for you. You should thank them for being so protective but tell them that sometimes you are going to do what you think is best. Don't let your friends tell you what to do, but don’t ignore them, either. – Lisa, 16, Arizona

Jenna, I was 13 when I got my first proper boyfriend and I was in the exact same situation. When he tried to take things further, I thought I was too young. I simply just moved away from him and he knew I felt awkward. After that he knew I wasn’t ready for that. He told me he liked me too much and had too much respect for me to loose me over something so silly. I will be going with him two years on my 16th birthday next month and have done nothing. So if you let him know how you feel and he doesn’t respect that? Then you’re too good for him and should just move on. You’re too important to be treated like that. – Sarah, 15, Ireland
