Question Posted Thursday February 27 2014, 10:06 pm
OMG. Okay so I kinda like this guy and I think he might like me but I am not sure. We act like we hate each other but like once I was winning a race and stuff and he put his hands over my eyes. Isn't that like boy for "guess who I am" or something like that! And then he told me kinda jokingly at frozen yogurt that I was gonna go down where the devil lives if I got a purple spoon! WHAT DOES HE MEAN. Then I had this dreamish thing and we kissed and he said "I have been wanting to do that for a long time" and remember this is a dream so what does that mean for me!?!?!? I am so confuzzled. Can you gimme some advice!!!
(I am a young teenager)

Other ways we flirt is by what we say, and non verbal things like our smiles and looking at the person.
I'd say the guy has an attraction to you unless he goes putting his hands over lots of other kids eyes. Does he like to tease all classmates or is he a person who uses his hands often to express himself as he talks and he does things like touching all people when he talks? There's people like that, I am one of them. If he does not...then clearly he was looking for a way to touch you and see how you react to gauge whether you are interested in return.
He can't read your mind. So get your interest out on your face and smile at him every time you see him. It will make you look more open and approachable to him. Say hello and greet him by name.
As for your dream, it could just be wishful thinking, your subconscious mind expressing how it feels. It can not express how he feels. That you will have to discover for yourself while wide awake!
I have no idea what he meant by the devil and a purple spoon. Maybe it's a common saying from a particular part of the country or maybe only something his family came up with. Makes no sense to me. You would have to ask him someday what it means. Even if you're a young teen, its a great time to learn how to approach, flirt with and communicate with the opposite sex cus there are some differences in how they think and process information and in what they say.
Be brave and start conversation with him. Start hanging out as friends and classmates. Then to show that you are hoping for more, flirt by touch if he hasn't yet. Guys will find reasons to brush up against you, touch your hair, place a hand on your shoulder or arm briefly. You can touch the same way. Pretend to remove an eyelash off his cheek or a bit of fluff from his hair. A person who is not interested in the other person won't be comfortable with anyone touching them for any reason even legit reasons.
I will give you links on a you tube website where the topics covered are mostly oriented to sexual topics but she does discuss relationships and dating too, usually from her perspective now as a young adult but it works for younger folk too. For now, here's something on crushes and dating. Good luck dear.
The next one is the best compliment you can pay another person is wanting to spend time with them. It shows how special they are to you and works with crushes as well as Laci's example. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
