15/f. ok i'll just get straight to the point. i have a crush on a guy who has a girlfriend. the guy is in 8th grade and i'm in 9th, but his girlfriend is also in 9th grade but she goes to a different school than we do so i have never actually met her.
my problem is just that is really bothers me because when we hang out he is always flirting with me and its seems like he likes me, but then i remember that he has a girlfriend. then in the halls he is always smiling at me and saying hi, he gives me nicknames and whenever we are together he just like suddenlys starts twirling me. its just little things like this that just make me like him so much more. and then i get sad because i remember that he has a girlfriend.
what can i do? and if he does break up with is girlfriend soon, how long should i wait before going after him and flirting more?
It doesn't really seem like there's anything you can do. If he does break up with his girlfriend, go for it. (Depending on how he acts- if he seems sad/mad about the breakup, wait awhile). But the fact that this guy has a girlfriend and still flirts isn't really a good sign, it means that if you do go out with him there's a pretty big chance he'll flirt with other girls.
Maybe ask him about his girlfriend, ask how things are going. Who knows, maybe you'll end up giving him advice about her- and then you can SUBTLY hint about breaking up with her (i.e. "Well, maybe you two just aren't right for each other")
The other option is to confront him, but that seems like it's too big of a risk. Just try to distract yourself for a little bit, and wait to see what happens, it's all you can do. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]

All you can do at this point is be respectful that he has a girlfriend & that you both remain friends. If he happens to break up with her, give him a couple weeks to let things settle. (Maybe less or more depending on the seriousness of their relationship.) [ LadyH's advice column | Ask LadyH A Question ]
