I'm a sophomore girl(15) and i'm falling in love with a senior boy(17). He had a girlfriend his first couple years of high school and then this past summer she dumped him. Right now he is dating a freshman that is clearly not his type. I really like him I see him in the halls and I have the same lunch and we got to church and youth group together. I also friend's with his younger sister. what should I do???

Buuuut don't let it stop you.
No, I'm not saying you should try to break them up or anything, 'cause that'd be bad.
Being friends with his little sister is definitely good. And you said you go to the same church/youth group? Does his girlfriend go as well?
I feel like that'd be a great time for you to try to talk to him even if it's about anything. (Only if she's not there. If his girlfriend goes, she'd definitely not want another girl talking to her man).
An important thing for you to remember is that if it's meant to be, it'll happen. (I'm sure you reaaaaally didn't want to hear that, but it's true). Trust that God knows what He's doing in this situation. And PRAY about it! Just tell Him you don't know what to do, and that you really seek His help. (if you're not that into the whole God thing then ignore that).
Bottom line, I'm one of those people who believe you shouldn't give up until he tells you to. That's the way I've always looked at these situations.
So about him having a girlfriend.. don't worry about it. Don't go too far or put too many moves on him, at least not yet.
If you're wondering if he's at all interested in you, do the clock test. I just read about this online last night and oohhh my gosh, it's so clever!
the Clock Test: Look over at him while he's not looking for about three to four seconds. Then, look from him to the clock (or really anything around the room), then glance back at him quickly. If you saw him look up at the clock, then he was definitely paying attention to you. (Isn't that crazy?)
I know this advice is sort of all over the place, and I'm sorry about that. But basically, just talk to him either at youth group or on Facebook. (The only reason I didn't mention church church is because I assume his family will be with him and that'll be weird. Unless it's not. Go for it if you want).
