Okay so here is the thing, I have had a crush on the same boy for over two YEARS... And well Im kind of thinking that is a little pathetic...
Here is some background info. It was a completely innocent crush for the first yearish part. He is super cute, he didnt know me at all, you know the deal... But then we really got to know eachother. I opened up to him more than I ever thought I could. That was in the summer. We continued to be close throughout the year but we have never been able to act on it. He says he likes me but he can't date until he is 16 (he is 14 now) and what do I do? I mean I really like him but I can't just wait around for ANOTHER two years, nor does he expect me to, but I just can't see myself liking anyone else. Boys will hit on me and ask for my number and stuff but I am just not interested.
My friends agree that this is pathetic, but what am I supposed to do? He likes me, I like him, I can't and frankly I don't want to move on but I know I need to... Ugh, any advice?
iwantthetruth answered Monday March 30 2009, 12:44 am: You are not pathetic. Honestly, I've liked guys for a year or more, in fact I was best friends with a boy that I liked for 2 years and he liked me as well. But we were young, like 7th grade, so it never became more than a friendship. You don't have to stop liking a person if you don't want to. Just make sure that you remember your goals in life. If you are getting good grades and being a good person meanwhile accomplishing your goals and living a happy life, then what harm does liking him do to you? But if you like him so much that you can't function properly, then maybe you do need to give yourself some time away from him or near some other guys. But having a crush on someone doesn't have to be harmful. It isn't like you are waiting around for him. You just like him now. Don't worry so much about what will happen someday. Just focus on how you feel now. Everything will be okay. Best of luck!. <3 [ iwantthetruth's advice column | Ask iwantthetruth A Question ]

You may deny that, but its the truth..its not like youre in love...sure, ur infatuated..but is a guy really worth waiting around 2 more years for when you are so young...there are plenty of other guys out there to get to know, who knows, they may be even better than this guy you would have to wait 2 years to date....In reguards to ur comment...about how i personally handled it...i decided that i would get to know other guys...not looking for a relationship..but just to get to know them..then, if there was still nothing, id still be open to the other guy. I ended up getting to know a great guy who i dated for the rest of high school. You will eventually get over having those feelings...it takes awhile though=/ [ Joellelabelle's advice column | Ask Joellelabelle A Question ]
