Question Posted Wednesday October 12 2011, 7:44 am
I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I know this is sort of dumb, but I needed some objective advice. About a month ago, I was chosen to be a part of my institute swim team. We went across country to represent the institute. This was the first time I've travelled without some sort of adult chaperoning. As a 'freshie', I didn't talk much to the other members, just to my immediate senior. And, more importantly, to the captain of the boys team, who was, more or less, an authority figure. He was nice to me, mostly because I'm a 'kid' who's never 'travelled alone'. And throughout the trip, I kept noticing all these things, like how funny he was and... well, you get the general idea. We were a small team, only about 16 people and thrown together a lot. So I learnt a lot about him, too. I'm sure he's a good person, but I'm also sure that if he ever finds out that I(quiet and boring) have a crush on him, he'd laugh. He's a senior, 21, sporty and cool. My friends got me to add him on facebook-not a big deal for most people, but a huge deal for me, cause I only add people I know well. They(my friends) say I should chat with him on there or something. I, on the other hand, just want to spy on him in basketball practice, but I'm too afraid he'll see me lurking and think there's something wrong with me. Is there something wrong with me? What should I do, talk to him or not?

I know I had a crush on a guy who was wa older than me and we were good friends at first because that is how a relationship starts. You shouldn't put yourself down and call yourself quiet and boring because I am sure you are not and if you view yourself as such a person then the guy you have a crush on would feel the same way. Try to feel confident about yourself and take the chance to talk to him because you do not know what could happen in the future. I do not think that you should talk to him on Facebook because the conversation would be awkward and you should talk to him face-to-face and just be friends with him. Find out what he likes and does not like and you will be surprised by what ou guys have in common. Just don't stalk him. Good luck! [ JunieBazinet's advice column | Ask JunieBazinet A Question ]
