on december 26, a new family is moving in to the house next door to mine. my mom talked to their realtor (another neighbor) and found out that the family will have a 3 yr. old and a 5 yr. old. by the way, I'm 13.
the question that i have is, how long should i wait before i introduce myself, and how should i do it? i really want to babysit for them, and i work really well with little kids. i've never worked for pay before, just as favors for my aunt (with kids age 2 and 7) so im not really sure what to charge either.
i know this is really long, and has a bunch of different questions. but any answers will be appreciated to the tone of a 5! thanks in advance! (link)

Well, I must say that this is a very thought up question. First off, you want to go over, introduce yourself and see if they would like some help (in other words, offer your time to helping this family unpack their things). Then hang out over their and get to know them. I understand some people can be anti-social, but if this family is, you will soon figure it out. As far as babysitting is concerned, you never volunteer yourself too soon. Let the family get a chance to know you. And once they do ask you about it, don't say "yes" and go straight into the money part of the conversation. Let them lead you through the conversation. And when it comes to the money, it should depend on how they feel you did, not how much you feel you shoud get. And another key thing before I quit, always have fun...if you are not having fun, then you should not be babysitting.

I kinda liked/like this guy in my class. He's so nice and were deff like really close friends were always laughing and joking and I thought I just liked him as a friend, but he's such a good guy I can totally see myself being more then friends with him. We talk everyday, he leaves me myspace comments, messages me, texts me, and we have a bunch of jokes together.
Well, turns out, my step brother heard about me sorta liking this guy, and he asked him about me. My bro said when he asked him he was like smiling and stuff and that he might like me, but he wasn't sure so not to get my hopes up.
Soooo, what? Just best friends? or What? (link)
