Ok, so my friend Kathrine was texting this fairly-goodlooking and fairly-cute and really girlish boy named Brad. So, anyway, she later showed me the text that he said he liked me. He flirts with me all the time, and I simply act like the text is no big deal. But I'm confused. Do I wait for him to say something, or do I ask him? And, he is very girly and strange, and not very handsome (hes...cute?) but im flattered and try to be attractive but my feelings are mixed since I already have 2 crushes that are very handsome and im debating over the 2 that are handsome or the kinda handsome who is girly.

You mentioned the others are crushes, not that they have noticed you also and have dropped hints that they like you. If they are not interested, then focus on the one interested and flirting, at least if you are somewhat attracted to him. At your age, kids date more for a social status. Dating should really be a time to learn how to understand the opposite sex better, how to talk to and communicate better with and discover more about the person to know if you are interested in them seriously for long term. And if there is any behavior or ways a guy treats you that you dwon't like, or not enough in common, you're bored, then end the dating relationship.
I like your title, "He might like me, I might like him." Few teens recognize the difference between attraction and likeing someone.
Attraction to, is just attraction, it doesnt determine if either one will really like the other. Attraction to what you see, how they carry themselves, their laugh, are things you can be attracted to, but their personality may or may not be a good match. the attraction is there to get you to want to find out. Once you've spent more in depth time getting to know a person, either you realize you have a gem, or you split and go looking for it. So I suggest engaging him in more meaningful conversation to begin with. You mentioned text, so apparently theres been some kind of communication. Start asking the things that count more: what are your hopes, dreams, do you have beliefs, what are they, what are you passionate about (ei like people passionate about saving the trees)
what are your hobbies, whats something you've never done but want to try, what makes you angry, what are your fears, what makes you happy. Enjoy every aspect of time spent with this guy and learning. Eventually if you both are comfortable in convo finding enough in common, you naturally move on to becoming a couple and dating. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
