Hi Tabby! The context you are into at the moment is not an easy one cos it involves love in it. The piece of advice I can give here is, you should try put a little sense of holding yourself cos you can't just tell what will happen the next minute. I mean you should try and study him (the guy), hold yourself, don't give yourself to him easily (don't be cheap), try to seek advice from from people who are old enough to be your parents (not people of your age), pray that God help you in this situation. That the piece of advice I have for. Hope it helps? Thanks and have a great day.

Hun, I wouldn't dare advise you without more information. You are 16 years old and I remember being that age. Every relationship feels like forever. Every boy seems like "the one". I also remember that I personally fell for a LOT of older boys at that age and there can be a lot of danger in that. How old is he? What do your parents think of him? Let me qualify that with saying that your parents opinions are not always right but they usually have a good reason for them and it helps to at least take that into account. I know that when I was 17 I fell for a guy and I ended up marrying him at 18. He seemed so sweet while we were dating but turned out to be extremely abusive. I also fell for a guy and 16 who I thought was "the one". We ended up getting back together after I divorced the abuser and he cheated on me with half the town. Guys are not always what we think they are. On the flip side of that, I married my best friend from childhood. We knew each other since he was 3 and I was 5. He was always my best friend. We dated on and off but I never thought we would end up together because he was "too" nice. When I had realized that I no longer wanted the thrilling guys who turned out to be real idiots I went looking for someone I could trust and who would love me. He was there. We have been together now for 18 years and he is still my best friend. Sometimes guys can suprise us and turn out to be more than what we thought they were. So you can see how it is difficult for ANYONE to give you advise on whether you should or shouldn't date someone without knowing both of you. What I can say is if you have such strong feelings for him then you will probably end up dating at some point. If and when this happens just be aware and be careful. It's easy to fall in love hard at any age but especially when you are young. It's just as easy to get hurt. And if that happens remember that heartbreak is a part of life. It is there to teach us and make us stronger. Whatever you do I wish you the best.

Thank you for the advise. Yea my parents dont have a problem with him they think hes nice hes 15. I dont know he is very devoted and everything He has been with this girl for like ever and she treats him like crap. Me and him have been friends for along time But I never thought I would fall for him untill I started talking to him and started hangingout with him. I dont know what I should do I dont want to end up hurt but when It comes down to it I have fallin for him and its hard to just let go just because of insucurties. So I wrote him a letter about everything telling him exapactly how it is and how much I truly care now im just waiting for him to talk to me But its hard because we go to school together and I see him all the time I just hope that if it doesnt work out we can still be friends because I would rather him a friend then not be in my life at all.

Well I think the letter was a good thing to do. You should express your feelings. If he is a really good friend he will apreciate your honesty. And my husband has always told me that boys are much more cautious and more shy than girls. At least the nicer ones are. maybe he feels the same way but has been afraid to say it for fear or you rejecting him. good luck

Thanks for the comment It really nice to hear that there is hope because like I said I care about him alot and hope that things work out maybe it is because hes scared to exspress hiself I dont know but I hope that whatever it is he can soon share with me the feelings he has because sometimes the person you care about waits to long and you move on and I can't wait around forever hoping for him to let me know whats goin on in his mind but anyways thats and good luck to you as well.

Your journey is still long ahead. Just make sure don't let obsession takes control of you. Do not hope too much, do not hope too less. Balancing everything. But you still need to draw some lines in your life before meet your real one. I hope you understand.

The only obsession I have is the obsession of feeling love and being in his arms its not a feeling that only teenagers get you dont have to be a adult to know what love is you dont need to be an adult to know how you feel. Most adults think that teenagers dont know what love really is well my opion is that no one really knows what love is until they have exsperance it everyone has different feelings tord love and the way I see it is when you can find the person you want to be with and you know in your heart that you will love to be with that person for the rest of your life and nothing can change that.
