So, I have a crush too. And i told one of my “friends” and she told him. He told all of his friends too! I kinda learned to get over it though. But sometimes it really frusterated me. I think you should tell him how you really feel. Even if he doesnt like you or he tells all of your friends, you might feel good that you got it all over with. You might even regret it if you never tell him!

Yes i think you should tell your crush that you like him because, if he likes you back then everything will go well. Maybe if he knows and theres a dance or some sort of an event coming up then he might ask you to it. On the other hand if he doesn’t like you back then big deal it’s not the end of the world besides, theres a someone for everyone.

Don’t worry about this. Your too young anyway..so just become really good friends with him and be yourself around him and maybe if he likes you he’ll ask you out, but if you really do like this guy and ask him out you have realize that if he says no you’ll have to deal with the rejection take it that you’ll find someone else when your older, just don’t do anything to impress this guy be yourslef. Rember you want him to like you for who you are and not for who you prended to be.

Some people will say, wait until he is your friend. Well, I have liked my guy friends, and he was my best friend, too. Telling him ruined everything, now it is really aqward to hang out with him. Even though that is true, wait unil you get to know him really good, and if you think he likes you, make sure you know that is true, and not just an assumption. You don’t have to be his best friend, just be make sure he knows how much he means to you, even if it is just as a friend.

You should never just ask him right away. First get to know him, and how he feels about girls. At a young age its kind of harder, because sometimes boys still think that boys and girls loving is gross or something. Just stay friends for a while until you and him feel ready for it.

If you really like him and if you have enough courage you should tell him.If you dont have enough couragen you shoulden’t tell him you most likely don’t want to be running off sceaming (or worse crying!) You never know he might want to tell you but he feels to scared that you won’t feel the same way.

I think you should tell someone that you like them. If you like taking risks, go for it! One day, I told this guy I liked him, didn’t tell anyone, then he told me he liked me, then asked me if i wanted to be his girlfriend. It’s up to you. If you feel comfortable, ok.

No, I don’t think you should. What if he doesn’t like you back? Awkward! Also, now that it’s out, there might be rumors spread about it and people might tease you! Plus once the secret gets out, it’s out and there’s no way of taking it back!

Well,I think it depends on how close you are as friends.If you are close friends then I would tell him one day during a random conversation just between the two of you but then if you aren’t that close then maybe just put a note in his locker.If you want him to like you you should become his friend.Maybe hang out with him at lunch or outside of school!

You should totally tell your crush that you like him, maybe it will turn out better than you thought, but it it doesnt then you can still like him anyway. Also you can tell just him and not anybody else because they might spread it to ANYONE! So, take my advice an dtell your crush, you can move on!

I’m good friends with the boy I like. A couple of days ago, I told him that I liked him. But I made myself comfortable first. Since I love writing, I decided to write it down and dictate what I wrote. It helped me feel more comfortable. I found out he liked someone else, but instead of ruining our friendship, it made it stronger. Now we feel more comfortable around eachother.

DEFINETLY BECOME FRIENDS WITH YOUR CRUSH BEFORE YOU TELL HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what i did was write a note that had my number and email on it. it was pretty ofous that i liked him. he never told anyone

My crush is currently ” going out” with someone else, which means that they sit together at lunch. I sent notes and emails to him which made me feel really good about myself. If you do that you can find out if he likes you and build up your courage to have a more serious relationship with him. -Sephie 11, NH

Of course you should tell him because he might even like you right back.But if he doesn’t there are three things you can do. 1. Forget him! there are way more guys out there. or 2. Just because he said no this time doesn’t mean i can’t like him still. and 3. Maybe i will ask again later?

I think you should tell your crush that you like him! Even if you’re not old enough to ask him out. I told my crush I liked him in fourth grade and now we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, nearly three years later. You should at least try to be friends with him!

There’s this guy that I know and we’ve been really good friends for about 5 or 6 years. About 5 years ago he told me that he liked me, but I didn’t tell him I liked him at the time. Now we’re going into 9th grade and I do like him and so recently I wrote him a note and finally told him how I feel. He wrote me back and said that he still likes me. So here’s what I’m getting at: If you really like this guy and he’s worth your time then he won’t mind waiting for you. My friend knows that I like him but he also knows that I can’t date for another 2 1/2 years, and if he really likes me he’ll be able to wait. So if you tell him now, it’ll be really weird not being boyfriend/girlfriend. Wait awhile, and see if he still has his merits. When you can maybe start to think about eventually having a boyfriend, then you can tell him. After all, he’s supposed to make the first move anyway. So take it slowly, because elementary school has enough drama without having a boyfriend to worry about!

I’ve liked a guy before and someone else told him for me. Now, I kinda regret liking anyone. I just don’t think I’m ready for that kind of stuff.When I tried to talk to him and I couln’t and when he tried to talk to me all he could say is you’re hot/ you’re flamin’ and i guess i didn’t really care for that to much because everyone would make fun of me. I wasn’t the only one in the class who liked someone. So I would have to agree with some of the other people. If you aren’t ready to like someone than just be friends with him and maybe things will work out for you two.

If you have a crush on someone, it can generally really hurt your appearance and you self-esteem by asking him out of the blue and him turning you down. You should talk to him, get to know him.

If you don’t know him well, start by saying ‘hi’ in the halls during school, or whenever you see him in general. Talk to him at the pool, after class, or at your neighbor’s BBQ. Ask about his favorite music, what he likes, his favorite TV show, etc. You could ask him for help with homework, or doing a certain swim, or advice.

My point is, don’t tell someone you like them until you really get to know them. Oh, and one more thing. It’s best if they don’t like somebody else first, or that they aren’t going ‘out,’ or totally obsessing over someone else.

You need to be careful when your dealing with your heart. It’s a delicate subject that needs attention. I know sometimes it’s hard but the best thing to do is talk to a close friend or parent about what they think. Where it is important to make your decision yourself you need support in making it. Remember it’s better to look at the past and say im glad i followed my heart and took a chance, you never know where it may lead.

Try to hang out with him and be his friend first.If you become really good friends with him, just see what will happen don’t try to push it along because eventually you might just stop likeing him and stay his friend not girlfriend.

I think you should tell him. but remember you cant force someone to like you. it takes time for a relationship to grow. Probably you should tell him when you feel like you are ready and confident.

well, this really happened to my bff. she told one of her guy friends who she liked and not to tell anyone. but he told him. turns out that the guy he told likes her too. well, that is what everyone thinks. the truth is HE IS FAKING IT!!!!! he doesn’t really like her. he is pretending he is. the girl he supposudly likes doesn’t even know. so my bff is all excited and talks about him ALL THE TIME! so, my point is be careful if your crush finds out you like him.

If I were you, I would wait to see how things are going. You never know, he could turn into a jerk the next time you see him. That happened to me once, the guy I liked wasn’t so nice after all. I didn’t rush into telling him that I liked him. If you wait and you still like him, then either get your friend to tell him how you feel or just tell him yourself! You could even tell him in a e-mail if your nervous! Good luck!

Okay, so i’ve been through this … but its a bit different, the guy i liked likesme alot too. Listed below are a few questions you should ask yourself:

A) How much do you really like him? B) How long have you liked him? (i’ve liked my guy for 3 years:p) C) Do you switch crushes alot?(if you do whats the point?) D) Does he feel the same way?

If you need help answering these questions talk to your friends, older siblings, or maybe if you are friends with your crush’s best freidn talk to him!

When he finds out you like him things might be weird for a while … but hey if you are “destined” to be togther things will work out! And no matter what you’ll take something away from this, i promise!

Whether you tell or not depends on what you are comfortable with… If you are good friends then you should be able to know whether it’s a good idea. I told a good friend of mine I liked him and he had no problem with it even though he doesn’t like me and we still talk like nothings wrong.. but if the guy is only a so-so friend telling might be awkward and will probably ruin a possible friendship unless he likes you back… telling a guy you barely know isn’t bad but I’d warn against it because you don’t know everything about him and the day after you tell him you might stop liking him because you relized he is a jerk (happened to me)

do not tell him that you like him until you are comfortable with telling him.try to make friends with him 1st. then tell him. trust me i have got cuaght up in the same situation before.so trust me you will like the results.and if it does not work out then he isn’t the one for you.

Don’t come right out and say u like him. get 2 no him first. after u no a little about him tell him. if he doesnt like u back thats ok. i recently told my guy friend (that i REALLY like) that i liked him and he said he didnt like me like that. after i told him we kinda avoided each other for a bit, but now were still friends.

I’ve liked this guy for 2 yrs and we always talk i told him i liked him he said he liked me to .But we said if we went out it would make our relationship weird. but if you are young tell him if your older just wait a little and hang out with him then tell him that you like him then ask him out!

I have a friend who is really into boys. when she likes someone, she gets really obsessed and she NEVER talks to them because she’s scared to, even if they are her friend. She gets her friends to ask her crush out for her, or she gets one of his friends to ask him out for her. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that usually the boy she likes just gets annoyed and freaked out. Boys will usually prefer a girl who has the guts to talk to him and ask him out herself, or else (the sad truth) boys will just think that the girl is pathetic and a coward.

1. DO NOT prank-call your crush and tell him that you are madly in love with him.
2. DO NOT write his name on the back of your shorts.
3. NEVER put a zillion sticky-notes in his locker that say “I LOVE YOU!!”

If he’s given you signs that he likes you (eye contact, being mean to hide his feelings), yes! But if you’re BFF’s, no way! Have a very trustworthy friend tell him.

i hav bn in a situation where i lik a guy a lot and i dont know if he likes me. there have also bn other situations where my guyfriends lik me, but im not so surre about them. i know it will sound annoying, but, were too young to date. now, kids start thinking about dating in lik3 2nd grade, and it will affect their lives and lead into love situations in the future. Of course, its also the parents permission that is the key to get into dating. but a few tips;

A) DO NOT GO OUT WITHOUT ASKING MOM OR DAD FIRST NO MATTER HOW UNCOMFORTABLE OR AWKWARD YOU MIGHT FEEL, THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS AT YOUR AGE OR OLDER

B) DO NOT CONSTANTLY CALL HIM, OR ELSE HE’LL START GETTING REAL ANNOYED

C)STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF

D)IF YOUR CRUSH LIKES YOU BACK AND EVENTUALLY U 2 DO START DATING(THOUGH STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE DATE AGE), DO NOT NOT NOT TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM ON THE FIRST DATES. EVER

the top 4 things you should nevr do with crushes good luck ~saima, aka roxy or saima-saima-lima bean

Well if you feel you have enough confdince in yourself and you know you want to see if he likes you back. But first get to know him. Here are some conversation topics: Ask him if he does anything after school, what is his favorite sport, class, etc. or you could ask him to hang out with you and your friends, tell him to bring his friends. So get to know him first, before you say you like him.

Don’t go right up to him and say “I like you.” He might get freaked out if he doesn’t know you that well. Don’t do it in a note, either (I made this mistake) because he will show it to his friends and you won’t know what he really thinks. Flirting with him and being good friends with him really helps and maybe he’ll tell you himself. But if you NEED to tell him now, make sure you’ve talked to him before and he knows who you are and that he doesn’t like another girl. If you are sure about all of this, then go for it!

If you tell a boy you like him that would sound weird beacause you’re too young to tell boys you like them and it would be akward if he didn’t like you back!!!!! If he doesn’t like you then he wouldn’t EVER speak to you again!!!!! Just try to be his friend and let time go by and one day he might surprise yo and tell you he likes you!!!!! I know you really want to tell him but don’t make things too quick!!!! Maybe when your a bit older you’ll be ready to tell guys your feelings for them.

If you really want to tell the guy, I say go for it! But if your a little shy, ask a friend to come with you. Get to know him first, because sometimes a guy isn’t what you think he is. If he is nice and respectful, show him who you are! If he’s rude and unkind, Keep looking! I hope you do what you think is right!

Ok so there is this really cute guy (i’m making up a story by the way), and you have this crush on him, but your real ‘uptight’ about letting him know. It’s a personal desicion if you want to or don’t want to tell him. I don’t tell my crushes that I like them, but if you want a ‘chance’ you might want to tell him. You don’t have to date, just kind of be a little more than friends, but only if you want too.

I had a huge crush on a guy this year, and wanted to tell him so badly, but i was afraid he wouldn’t like me back. So now, i’m just trying to have a good time with him. And that’s the best i can do for now. And i’m happy with that.

If you tell this boy you like him, he may get freaked out and scared. Boys don’t know how to handle these things. so i don’t think you should ruine the relationship you already have with him and wait ‘till he asks you.

I have a crush on a guy and i asked him out and he said no because im too tall! Everyone is up to my shoulders since i am so tall and it hurts my feelings that guys wont go out with me JUST because I am tall. I have a lot of friends that are guys and were really close but no one loves me because im tall! Isnt that dumb! But i guess thats boys for you…

If you realy like him then you should start hanging out with him more often. Start with a “hey bud have’nt seen you in a long time” Be random but not too random. Don’t be shy be the best of friends, make your friends close his. then there will be a time where you and him will hangout alone and maybe he’ll make a move.

;D from boom :)

Hey to all discovery girl fans! Heres some tips on crushes….

I know how in the Ask Ali articiles someone said “I like a boy but he doesnt like me back” And Ali replied “Wouldnt you rather like someone who liked you back?” Well I bing a girl understand that when you like someone (even if they dont like you back) its hard to forget about tehm and move on! So if a guy doesnt like you back here some advice! (Real girl advice!)

• Become friends with him! If you cant be his girlfriend isnt the next best thing to be his girl FRIEND? At least you can still hang out with him.

• Maybe you should mention how you feel about him? Because somtimes a guy likes the idea of a diffrent girl having a crush on him and he might think… “Hey maybe i can date her now that someone actually has a crush on me!”

• Even if he doesnt love you back dont change everything for him! Keep being you and maybe after awhile he will realize you truly are a great person!

Best of Luck, Alexa B.C Canada
