Sorry this is long but okay I like this guy and I didn't want anyone to know.By the way I'm in 8th grade. Only my best friend knew but then a 7th grader that we hung out with found out and we also found out she wasn't very trustworthy. We were at camp when all this happened though. We were gone for a week. Okay well she told this other 8th grade girl who we liked. And I was upset. Then I guess the word got out somewhere along there and then the guy I liked friend found out and came up to me and said I know who you like and he knows it too. I was like sure whatever, I thought he was just joking around. Then he said did I mention it was 'the guy I liked name'. And he was bugging me about it and he said if I keep staring a picture would last longer. I don't know what to do but I keep telling him I don't like him. Now I got off the phone with a friend and I can't trust her very much and she doesn't know who I like. She told me that they came up to her and asked if I liked him. I don't know whether to believe her or not but I think he knows that I do like him. I really need help how to deal with this. What to say to them and what to do and what not to do.
Oh some extra stuff is that I don't see him often usually twice a week since we go to the same church not school. And sometimes activities that we have. But we were at camp for a week too.
Love is a fickle thing to try and manage. So we will keep it down to the point you really like this guy.
The guy you like, Tell him. There can be no harm in you saying the way you truly feel. Regardless of what the other people think, you should follow how you feel, when he asked you about it, you denied it. You also denied yourself in doing so, and i know it hurt you to not be able to tell him how you truly feel. this is obvious. It will be much more of a relief once you tell him how you feel and he responds.
Now, we come to your "friends." this is the complication. So before i begin here. Let me state that i think logically instead of with emotions.
1) Your not so trustworthy friend. The one who blabbed your secret is not your friend. A Friend would not go around saying what other people are doing, and with who for that matter.
2) Don't believe the girl on the phone, not to sound cold hearted, but still. What she wants is information. "Knowledge is Power" this is a true statement. If you don't trust her, don't tell her.
3) the girls at camp. they know nothing and are foolish to jump into an affair that doesn't concern them. when you feel like sharing it with them, do it. in the mean time, it is not their place to know anything about your love life.
There are two things you can do.
the first one, is go along with the girls. play with it a little bit. but a warning, in doing this, you could easily end up in a hole and in a position to which you don't want to be in.
the second thing. do nothing, the rumor of you liking someone will continue to spread, and hopefully for you, it will. this is a good thing that it spreads. because the person you like has already approached you about it. So there is no more embarrassment for you if he finds out.
