I am going to be a freshman this year, and I have just started talking to this guy. Well, He is going to be a junoir and i know him from my sister--who is going to be a senior.
I have started having feelings for this guy. We talk alot online, and he is really sweet. But there are two problems. 1)He has a girlfriend 2)He still see's me as a kid.
Now both of those are really..hard. Because I think he see's me more of a little sister, then a friend. And it is so tough to deal with. Because I know i am not brave enough to tell him how I feel. And I know he doesnt feel the same. What should I do?

Clean answered Wednesday July 20 2005, 4:45 am: You should be happy he looks at you like his little sister compared to a nothing! Listen, he's probably going to act like you aren't his friend because you are younger then him, but guys are like that. They don't hang out with dudes younger then them. It's a killer to their rep., and that's what they are all about.
I know this might not be the best advice, but I have expirience and I've had things for older guys when I was younger and it went to hell in a hand basket. Basically saying, I regret doing it. Just try to forget about him, and plenty of new boys this coming freshman year, for you, will lead to lots of new friendships and expiriences.

But, by next year *as a sophomore* he might see you as more then just a fish. I wouldn't tell him how you feel just yet, wait a year and then things might change! good luck!

ncblondie answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 7:57 pm: First off, it's never good to poach another woman's man. Since you can't find the courage to tell him and you know he doesn't feel the same, I wouldn't make a move. I think you'll only end up getting your heart broke. Keep talking to him but try to put your feelings away. Maybe you can build this relationship into a friendship once he realizes you're not a kid anymore.
tasuki answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 5:39 pm: Well, it's just a crush. You'll probably get about a jillion of them, and they'll come and go. I know it seems like a big deal to you right now, and I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but it really isn't and you will get over it. It might not even take that long to get over it, who knows? I've had crushes that lasted just a couple of days. You might end up finding another guy who is totally into you, or you might just stop liking this one. And if not, there's always the chance that he will break up with his girlfriend, and a junior and a freshman going out is not strange at all and is actually widely accepted. But if that does happen, you have to get over your fear and take the initiative to tell him how you feel. [ tasuki's advice column | Ask tasuki A Question ]
XSugarPieX77 answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 5:27 pm: Hey. I used to like a guy who is older then me, and he had a girlfriend. He saw me more as a friend too. And like you, I was not brave enough to confront him.Did he actually say to you that he see's you as a kid? Just, hang out with him and maybe he'll start thinking of you being older or something. Theres nothing you can do about his girlfriend, maybe they will brake up soon. Good Luck!

icey0990 answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 5:27 pm: i would just stay positive..i mean you jjust started talkiing to this guy right? so maybe give it time and hang out with him..he can get to know you better and you can get to know him better...and who knows , his perspective on you might change from seeing you as just a lil sister to seeing you as a really good friend..or even a gf
so dont stress on it..as you get closer, talking about feelings will become easier and maybe in the future you will be able to tell him how you feel..dont worry that right now you cant open up to him..give it some time and you will be able to.
ThonqyFriends answered Tuesday July 19 2005, 5:27 pm: Well this is what i would do if i were you. I would TRY and forget about him because you don`t know how many hot quys will probablly be in your highschool he`s just one you already know thru your sister... and that`s a disadvantage if he`s close with your sister. So i would forget about this guy and wait to get to highschool because theres always alot of hotties =). hope i helped. -courtney. plz rate !
