He's a good friend, and he's so nice and sweet. From the first moment I talked to him I fell hard. But, there are a few hitches:

-He's 18, I'm 13 (but he acts like he's ten. He wont drive. I don't even think he's ever had a girlfriend. )

- I think he likes this other girl I know

- I think his best friend ( who's a foot shorter than me) likes me

- He only sees me as a friend



I need help! I've been homeschooled all through middleschool and am less than experienced when it comes to guys.

And, things are just perfect as they are, with our drama techer (that's how I know him, he's in two drama classes with me)always placing usin the male and female leads when we perform scenes and me getting invited as
a friend to a whole bunch of dances and parties. BUT, if he starts going out with his crush, things will get all messed up!


My one consolation is that I'm playing a role in which she and I get in a sword fight and I can accidentally hit her a whole bunch. But that's hateful, and she's really nice. I don't think she likes him though...

There's too big of an age gap, honestly. unless you are super mature I doubt it'd work. Also with the prospect of college so close and the fact that he could get in major trouble for dating you, I'd say let it go.

*scoffs* do NOT listen to anyone here (myself included)! we're idiots! just follow your heart. if you want it go for it.

I don't really think you should pursue it. 5 years may not seem like that much of a difference, but at this time of our lives it's a world apart. Don't be in such a rush to start a relationship (they are often too much trouble )

i wouldnt really worry about him being 18 if hes the way you say he is, my little sister is 12 and dated a 16 year old and at first i was going to kill this kid but then i met him and realized how immature he was haha so i understand that situation. i think you should just try to be chill, hang out with him as much as possible but dont be clingy and see what happens. if he goes out with his crush youll have another chance when they break up, or you could try and steal him away if your scandalous haha

Okay he's 18 and your 13? Don't even shoot for it, I know he's the greatest guy on earth and I know stuff like that happens all the time in the movies but that type of age gap cannot be briged what so ever.
Heck your thirteen don't mess your life up with this dating crap yet once you start unless you find a great companion right off the bat things just tend to go down hill.
Though I will say this if you really wanna go for it. Guys are not subtle we are very plain so take him aside and talk to the boy about it (in very plain english) spell it out for him that you like him as more than a friend. This may lose you a friend or gain you a boyfriend. It all depends on how much risk you want to take.
