Liking a Highschool Guy
8th grade/f
So there this really cute (in my opinion anyway) guy on a sports team that I go to for school (our middle school and the local highschool practice together for diving/swimming). Problem is, He's a sophmore, and he may/may not have a girlfriend. Here are a few minor signs that he may like me, in chronological order:
1. When we first met last year- for the same sport -he and another guy were asking me and a friend what grade we were in. They guessed 8th and we laughed, responding with the fact that we were in 7th. They both said, each of them referring to one of us, but the one I like was looking at me, that they wished that we were in 8th so that they could be with {hang out with} us 'next' year.
2. At our first practice this year I was a bit late so I ran up, and when I sat down in the group circle I made eye contact with him and he very slightly nodded his head up and smiled at me.
3. At the same time one of the other higschool guys was asking for our (the middle-schoolers) names, and then the guy I like noted aoud that the only people he already knew were the highschoolers... and me (It made me kinda happy because that must mean he remembers me, right?)
3. At the end of that same practice I was talking to my coach and he kept looking over. Eventually I took notice and watched for when he would look over again. So within a few seconds he looked over, realized I was looking, then smiled and looked away.
Okay, I know I'm getting my hopes up, but I have a serious crush on him. My guy-friends, who have known him through other sports, say that he's cool and nice, but he used to be'kind of a jerk'. I just want to know, what are your guys' and ladies' impressions from this, and do you have any advice for me?
Thanks!

When he smiled at you, did you smile back? Smiling at a guy tells him that you are friendly and approachable.
The crushing and attracted to stage is something that comes before the getting to know the person enough to know if you could be friends or date each other stage.
But neither of you will have the chance to get to know each other better if one of you doesn't start a conversation going. Sometimes during the conversation stage, we learn we like how the other thinks and how they vocalize their thoughts, their intelligence, etc and thats enough to want to spend more time together. I know you're two years younger.That shouldn't hold either of you back from at least talking to each other. If that goes well, then you start hanging out together, trade phone numbers, maybe even seen each other on the weekend every once in a while. If the parents allow you to have friends over and you two are doing great and mutually want to spend time together, ask the parents if you can have a male friend from swim practice come over. One step at a time thought, so talk to him first.

My impression that he is at least interested in you. He could possibly either see you as a friend or possibly wants to get to know you. If he stares at you enough, he's probably attracted to you and would like to get to know you as more than a friend.
So try getting to know him. Talk to him some more and see how he is. By talking you'll also find out if he has a girlfriend or not.

Hi!! Crushes!! Fun ^_^
Well, based on what you said, it sounds like he might like you. We can't be sure because we haven't seen it for ourselves etc, but he sounds like he definitely thinks of you in a good way. He either likes you too, or thinks of you as a friend who he potentially wants to "get to know" or something.
Keep your eyes peeled ( for the jerk thing, and other signs that he may like you)
Remember to be yourself and stay true, you don't want someone who doesn't like the real, but someone who likes the real you!!
Last but not least, be careful if he has a girlfriend, try finding out before making any moves. You don't want drama.
GOOD LUCK GIRL!!
With Love, Tia B.
