I have gone from younggrandma to just yg. Now,
I am using my real name.
I don't think anyone who knows me will have trouble figuring out who that is!


I have been gone a while dealing with things in my own life. I am back now to help once again. Do not expect answers from me that just tell you what you want to hear. Life is to short for nonsense. :)

13/f
and i like a
13/m

BEWARE: this might be long.


OK. So i have posted so many questions on the same topic. But i haven't gotten any real good advice. All of my answers usually say "just go with what you think is right" or "its better to do it and say you did the to not and regret it later." so i hope you can give me better advice. like what i should specifically do.

So i have like this guy for a long time. Ive known him since elementary school and he lives two houses away from me. I think I'm IN LOVE with him. now don't say "i think your too young to be IN LOVE" or "you need to wait and see if these feelings leave. if they don't then....." because I've heard it all before. I know for a fact that I'm IN LOVE with him. so i know that he likes me because he asked me out at the beginning of 7th grade. I said no because my mom doesn't approve of neighbors dating. because if we ever break up then it'll be awkward because i see him all over the place. but i like him so much that i am willing to hide it from my mom. But another reason why i know that he likes me is because, not too long ago, we were walking home together and he touched my ass. on purpose. so if that's not flirting than i don't know what flirting is. lol. so i have no idea what to do. do i ask him out myself or just wait for him to ask me out? please help me. and im sorry that this was so long. thank you in advance.

First of all I don't think you should start by hiding it from your mom. She may not like it, but its not good to start any relationship based on lying. No matter how old you are!

I'm not going to say you are to young to know what love is. I do want to want you to understand though, that love is much more than sex. 13 year old boys, no offense to the one you like, often look for someone who will allow sex. Don't fall into that trap. You want a guy to love you for who you are, not what they can get. Touching your butt isn't really flirting. Its seeing what he can get away with. :)

Dating someone at your age is very hard. Nobody can drive, parents have to chauffeur you anywhere that isn't in walking distance. I see nothing wrong with you inviting him over for a movie, or out to do something. It might be best to wait for him to make the first move though. I'm kinda old fashioned. :) Let him know you are interested. He may already know, or think he does. Let him know he is right. If he mentions doing something, say something like.."That sounds like fun, maybe we can do that (see a movie or whatever) together sometime." Let him know you would go out with him if he asked.

Good luck!
