I have been friends with this boy since we were in nursery. I always hang out with him, but I never get the chance to be alone with him because his younger sister and my other two male friends are with us too. I didn't mind at first, but I've started to like him since 3rd grade. He’s a really cool guy and he's kind and generous. He helps me with homework as his results were always better than me (except for Mandarin). Once, when my classmates bullied me, he told them off and helped me tell the teacher. I’ve sent a message to him on Facebook, telling him that I have a crush on him, but he hasn't replied yet. His sister and my other two male friends don’t know my crush is him, but I hope they won't know. Last Valentines' Day, I gave him chocolates I made on my own from scratch. And on White Day, he gave me an amulet necklace with a photo I had taken with only him when we were younger on it. Does that mean he also has a crush on me? How can I confess to him? I’m too shy! I don't know what to say or how to say it. Please give me advice! – Yi Ling, 13, Singapore

I really like this guy from camp. He's funny, gorgeous, and has a bit of a problem with flirting with too many girls. The problem is, he's almost sixteen. That's a four-year difference. He flirted with me a lot, and said he'd date me if I was a little older, but he thinks I'm too young! I look and act like I'm fifteen; you'd never guess that I was 12 if you saw me. But... I am. We text every day and he still flirts with me a whole bunch, and then says I'm too young again. I don't know what to do! I don't know him TOO well, and I don't want to freak him out by being too flirty, but I also really like this guy and want him to see that age doesn't matter. Please help! – Cheyenne, 12, Colorado

I really like this guy, and I've had feelings for him before. The thing is I’ve had friends say that we would be cute together but that he’s not really my type. He is really quiet and looks a little goth/emo but he is probably the sweetest guy I’ve ever met once I got to know him. He's texting me a lot but when he texts me one worded replies it makes me think that he doesn’t really wanna talk to me and doesn’t like me. But on the other hand it could just be him being his quiet self. I need to know if I should continue liking him even if my friends think like that and if it sounds like he likes me or not. – Lauren, 15, Canada
