Here's my problem.

See, the guy, like, already told me he likes me (twice). But the other days he won't even talk to me, but just starts staring at me. Help me here, I'm so confused. What should I do? Confused ANSWER: OK, let's get this straight there are very few things about middle school that aren't confusing, but I'll do my best. For a moment, put yourself in his shoes, Can't you imagine that he might be a little confused too liking you one moment and being brave enough to tell you, then the next moment being really worried about whether he's made a complete fool of himself and you don't like him at all.

Sound familiar? Unless the stares are lewd, I'd take that as a good sign. In middle school, girls have a tendency to talk, boys to stare, it just kind of works out that way. What should you do? Be yourself I know that sounds tough, but you can do it. Be friendly, but not pushy. Don't take it personally if he doesn't respond the way you think he should right away.

Focus on being his friend first, then you'll know if he's really just a crush-of-the-week or if he's someone you want to get know better later. flea market, miniature horse rides, chicken barbecue Benefits Addison volunteer fire and ambulance.
