16/f I'm not really into the whole "dating-in-highscool" thing. I've seen plenty of guys that I thought were "cute" or even "hot" but I've never persued it because I wanted to stay focused with school. Then enter this one jerk, let's call him "Scott". Well Scott is the epitome of the playboy that's obnoxious, rude, and all the girls line up to date him. I dispise him! However after one of our arguements (which is me questioning his IQ level and him making a comment back), I noticed how blue his eyes were. At first it didn't hit me that after it was all over I was still thinking about him. Now all I do when I see him is try not to smile when he looks at me. How do I shake this? I need to focus on more important things, but it's becoming a problem considering I'm writing for advice.
BitsandPieces answered Friday April 18 2008, 4:15 pm: You are making conclusions before giving the questions consideration. Obviously you are a smart girl who is aware of the importance of staying focused to reach a goal. You are more than that...you are a young girl who is growing in every way and will one day be a complete woman. Acknowledge the fact that you can be attracted to someone that challenges you, or is different from you and seems happy with themselves...and the blue eyes don't hurt. What is really going on here is more than physical (since you are a female and use your brain a lot more at this age than males do); you are missing something from your own personality and experiences that you find appealing in someone else. This is normal and the psychological basis for attraction at any age. We all want to find completion...often in others or things we think will add to our own sense of being. Take it as a cue to add some fun to your otherwise restrictive life. Sometimes we are attracted to or even despise someone, because we are resentful that they are free to be someone we think we are not allowed to be. You can be smart and have fun...Face this in yourself and he won't have a hold on you anymore...though he still might make you smile..and that is a good thing.
