I'm a girl and i'm 13.. So there is a lot of drama in my grade... Anyway... I have a friend that is a boy and we always just hang out and talk... Like, i tell him all of my secrets cause i know he won't judge me or go tell everybody and talk about me behind my back.. Well, today, one of his other friends came up and told me that he liked me and wanted to go out with me... I like him too, but i also don't want to ruin our friendship when it don't work out.. (I'm an 8th grader.. Unless it is some meant to be together sort of thing... we will probably break up some day!!) Anyway.. I also like another boy. but i don't think he likes me.. Any tips? First, what should i do about my friend and what do i do about my "crush?" Please help me!!!!!!

It probably won't hurt your friendship, because you are really good friends and since you are so young it won't be that serious. When I was in 8th grade, I stayed friends with all of my ex's. But if you feel like you like your crush more, then I think you should just tell your friend that at this moment a relationship wouldn't be in your best interests. Then try talking to your crush and see where you stand with him, basically just go with who you think you will be the happiest with.
abstract_profanity answered Wednesday August 13 2008, 11:01 pm: "I also like another boy". Right there what does that tell you? You're confused. And I'm not sure if you really know what you're doing. So before you confront either guy find out for yourself. :)
I'm not trying to sound mean. All I'm trying to say is that it's not fair for both guys to hear something that you may not be so sure of.
It sounds to me that this guy who you tell everything to is kind of a friend for now. Will it turn into something more? I'm not so sure of. But with all the provided information you seem to be comfortable enough to tell him what you what to say without feeling he'll go behind your back. That feeling sounds like a type of thing you would do to a very good friend. If you like this guy more than the other, I would start gradually. If you're not sure yet DO NOT lead him on. That would be just plain cruel. You always have a risk of losing a great friendship, be aware of that.
Find out which guy you like more before you make any choices. And youralso still thirteen, so you don't need to rush any serious relationship or anything. Personally, i think its better to keep your guy friends and see what happens from there. [ abstract_profanity's advice column | Ask abstract_profanity A Question ]

i'd talk about it with him. give him subtle hints if he already doesn't know that you know he likes you.
if you dont wanna risk it just yet, see if you guys still like each other in a couple of weeks or months.
andd, if your friendship is super strong now, taking it to the next level will feel right.
ManDA_Lee answered Wednesday August 13 2008, 10:50 pm: Crush,
you're thirteen years old. i am seventeen years old and I still have these little problems all the time, if you like him. save if for highschool, because it will be worse if you go out, and than try to be friends if the relationship doesn't work. trust me. and it will hurt, completely. :[
so, just try and be friends, and just see what happens, experiment? that won't kill. but don't pour grass poison,over the trees.
