I really like this boy and I can not stop thinking about him... but he hates me.

I really like this boy and I can not stop thinking about him.
But the thing is, he hates me and he teased me in primary school.
I don't really see him anymore, but I can't get him out of my head and when I do see him, my stomach flutters.
What do I do?
Should I just get over him?

Of course, you were both younger then and kids will do that to each other. I can recall that when I was in primary school, there were girls who I thought were pretty, but since I didn't want anyone (especially them!) to know that, I tended to be somewhat nasty to them. I'm certainly ashamed of that now and I wish I'd known better at the time, but that's how it was. Of course, kids will also be nasty to other kids who they genuinely dislike, so that's not necessarily a sign that he secretly liked you!
I tend to think that you can't possibly know this guy very well, and whatever attracts you to him is what's on the surface; his physical appearance, how he talks and dresses, that kind of thing. And because of that, it actually shouldn't be that hard for you to get over him, which is what I suggest you do. Let the stomach butterflies happen, but look around at other guys and see if any of them stir something similar. You may be surprised to find out just how minor an attraction you have to this guy once you start looking around at the other possibilities. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
