Ok, So I've been crushing on this boy for about a year now. We got pretty close as friends, and he's very religous and all cus he's dads a preacher. But I'm not really that religious, i dont care what religon anyone is, that's their choice. But to the point; I finally asked him out this one tuesday, he told me that he'd get back to me and such, so i waited. Then he finally tells me no that friday. The next Tuesday that he's moving away. Later I asked him if he would if he didn't have to move away, and he said probably yes. He keeps acting like he likes me and when i ask for a hug he'll give me one. He's extremely kind and I can't help but want to hang around with him as much as possible; which I do. I don't know what to do, I keep falling more and more in love with him. I think I should tell him, but I'm really not sure at all...and I really really really want to go out with him, so I don't know if I should push that issue...I mean, if I did he might say yes. And he's only moving a hour away from my place, but...I can't drive for about 3 more years. And he's only a month and two days older then me..so he's in the same boat. But I'd get to see him 1 time each year till then...idk what to do...I really want to be his girlfriend and I don't want to lose him because he's became my entire world..I'm so lost and confused..please help, I'm running out of time...I have 2 more months with him.... ='[

I'm guessing you're either 12 or 13, right? Considering that you have 3 more years to wait till you start driving.

I don't promote dating to younger teens (I'm a younger teen, too), basically because I don't think that anyone, primarily younger teens, are ready to face rejection.

Too many times have my friends gone into a relationship and had their heart broken. They were crushed for days on end.

I don't feel that anyone is ready to face rejection, but we all must at sometime in our life.

Maybe, instead of going out with him, you could ask him if he'd like to become friends.

That way you could both hang out during the weekends and school breaks when you have time to hang out, because of the 1-hour distance.

Maybe you both should get a feel for each other before you start jumping into the realm of dating.

I just hate seeing people jump into dating too quickly, unaware that it forces them to grow up faster when rejection occurs.

I don't mean to break your dreams. I'm just presenting you with reality...


If you need anymore help, feel free to ask. ^_^

Best Regards,

UPDATED ANSWER:

Why did you rate my advice a 1? I gave you a nice and thorough answer, and I do not believe that 12 or 13 year olds should date because too often are their hearts broken, effecting them for the rest of their life.

I am very confused, as you didn't even give me a reason as to why you rated my advice a 1.

(Rating: 2) Rating changed by a level 2 mod.

the reason why was because ive already been heartbroken and i disagree that younger teens shouldn't date cus ive already had a lot of boyfriends. Life is Life. We live it as it is and whatever happens...well it happens. Why not date when we're younger? because who KNOWS if we're actually going to see when we're OLDER. Life happens; by the time we're 16, 20 we could be dead...so live life as it comes =p thats my reason -_-
