Hello, my name is Sam. There's a lot that I can say about myself, but if you'd like that then you could always message me and we can have a nice cup of tea together :D

I am not very old, so I might not have too much life experience, but I do like to help people. I know that life often throws unexpected blows at people, but I am so extremely optimistic. Hopefully some of my optimism will rub off on the people to whom I am giving advice. I am happy to help with anything! :)

Okay so here is the thing, I have had a crush on the same boy for over two YEARS... And well Im kind of thinking that is a little pathetic...

Here is some background info. It was a completely innocent crush for the first yearish part. He is super cute, he didnt know me at all, you know the deal... But then we really got to know eachother. I opened up to him more than I ever thought I could. That was in the summer. We continued to be close throughout the year but we have never been able to act on it. He says he likes me but he can't date until he is 16 (he is 14 now) and what do I do? I mean I really like him but I can't just wait around for ANOTHER two years, nor does he expect me to, but I just can't see myself liking anyone else. Boys will hit on me and ask for my number and stuff but I am just not interested.

My friends agree that this is pathetic, but what am I supposed to do? He likes me, I like him, I can't and frankly I don't want to move on but I know I need to... Ugh, any advice? (link)
You are not pathetic. Honestly, I've liked guys for a year or more, in fact I was best friends with a boy that I liked for 2 years and he liked me as well. But we were young, like 7th grade, so it never became more than a friendship. You don't have to stop liking a person if you don't want to. Just make sure that you remember your goals in life. If you are getting good grades and being a good person meanwhile accomplishing your goals and living a happy life, then what harm does liking him do to you? But if you like him so much that you can't function properly, then maybe you do need to give yourself some time away from him or near some other guys. But having a crush on someone doesn't have to be harmful. It isn't like you are waiting around for him. You just like him now. Don't worry so much about what will happen someday. Just focus on how you feel now. Everything will be okay. Best of luck!.

Thank you! I suppose you're right, I guess for the moment I an okay with this, I can't control how I feel, right? Oh and don't worry, Ive still got things in order. In fact, I am on honor roll because I study with him so much! Well thank you for your advice, I guess I'll just have to see how things play out...
