This boy that I liked ever since middle skool see's me once in a while.So our middle skool had a party and he happened to be there he came up to me and said hi so i said the same. My friends and i went in the disco and started to dance and he soon came in and my heart started to beat faster and faster and he started to dance with other girls and a song came on and I started to dance and he only stared at me and he even came across by me and watched me and soon asked me to dance and I said yes and we started to dance when I reached home I told me brother all about it the next day my brother said that he came up to him with another girl and he said he loved her . Do you think my brother is lying ?Do you think the boy likes me?

You ask whether I think he is lying, and I can only respond that I don't know, does he have a history of telling lies? It sounds as if you two have a fairly good relationship for you to have confided in him to the extent that you have: however that doesn't I suppose mean that your brother would never lie. I would however still go very cautiously with this boy, as I suspect you may be searching too hard for signs that he likes you. It sounds to me as if he's a bit of a flirt, dancing first with one girl, then another. Which doesn't mean he doesn't like you-just that it's questionable how much he really likes anyone, even this girl your brother says he's in love with (always assuming that's true). You should follow his example and dance with other boys, relax and enjoy their company. It's all too easy to develop an obsessive crush on someone, especially in middle and high school (I've been there).
Having said all that, there's no reason why you shouldn't be friends with the boy-just don't expect it to necessarily turn into a relationship.
Good luck, and feel free to drop another question in my inbox. [ lucretia's advice column | Ask lucretia A Question ]
